I'll check if I still have the Gothique library and test whether the effects work for me.

I'm still playing TS3, I was doing LotRO for the first several years of TS3, so I still have a huge amount of game to explore. I'm loving playing with climates, daylight hours, and the ability to tune and change almost anything. I had a go at TS4 but it didn't do it for me, all the sims seemed the same. I like the open world in TS3. I do miss the genetics from TS2, and the ability of one sim to feel differently toward another, where one might be in love and the other might be in hate.

I'm currently playing with canals on a festival lot so the OP caught my eye.

Queen Baby, that comment was not addressed to you, you are not the centre of the universe.

Yes.

I think your problem is STEAM. I run Awesomemod and Nraas with no problems - and still in the old place btw, it works but the 'Documents' mod placement was added because people kept mucking up their game installs when they had their mods in with the program install files.

I had that error at one time, I don't remember how I solved it. However when I googled it I found many people had had the same problem. I think it was a Windows issue rather than a game one.

I've  started using HexChat in the last year. Seems to be fine. People are complaining about Mibbit.


ETA:

<Ambular> We've had a couple of different people drop in and ask about the Sims 4 thing.
<Pescado> Yes, I saw.
<Pescado> But they have short attention spans and flee quickly.

Once people were aware of the TS3 bounty, they were usually happy to donate a piece or two if they could manage it.

Do you mean that you no longer have this problem with the updated AM? I can't reproduce the problem with my sims, I use both MATY and Nraas, plus about a zillion other mods.

I have a vague idea I have had the problem in the past but can't remember how it was fixed. Have you tried googling MTS2?

ETA: The sim I had like that was a room-mate. You can get room-mates now in the hometown, not sure if it's native or a mod. I got a roomie and didn't realise you couldn't direct them to do anything - no menus.

You could try "fixall", followed by "resetworld".

Plus just start a new world and see if it happens there. Is it just the one sim, or all of them?

Have you updated AM, Avalikia? There's a new one gone up in the last several days.

UPDATE

Sims are on the move. Awesomemod will move Sims to more appropriate housing as necessary/available.

Grah is still barfing. It was for Jesslla too, last night.

Yes, I noticed last night the only date was one with a robot, which is not supposed to happen. I spent some time splitting apart flatting households to see if that would help, but it didn't.

ETA: Sometimes I run the last super patch, just in case any of the files/databases have become corrupted in game crashes.
ETA2: If your video drivers are set to automatically update - because they keep putting the tick back and you missed one - that resets sim lifespans in active games back to EA default properties. I prefer epic.

FYI: I have a modern PC but run Win7. I can install and update Sims 2 with no problems.

I've been experiencing the same thing just recently. I thought it was NRAAS mods, I've been trying out various combos of potion protectors and stuff. It's not all inventories, just some all of a sudden, and nothing left.

ETA: Have told Pescado.

I'll ask Pescado. I notice my robots are being split off from oversize families again, so I need to mention that.

Heh, Starler, the posts refuse to change their post order. I should complain about that in the cheese forum if I were you. The cheese nazi is waiting for you. She's sniffing things and looking very grumpy.

Make sure you have the latest AM, it has been updated several times re the moving issue. My latest hood is working properly, although I have noticed that pregnant sims get moved to a house with two cribs, even if one crib exists in the current house. Otherwise moves as normal. I did have a robot split off last night, but I may have forgotten to put a recharger in the lot.

G'day Tiger! I played TS4 for an hour or so once. It's a mobile game for your phone. I still play TS3.
ETA: Tsen wants to know if there is not enough squid for you.

And g'day Aggie!

As far as I know it is still there, only shoved in a back cupboard server. Me and Jesslla are keeping an eye on the MATY site to see when it goes down and we prod Pescado. Not sure if Booty's on the same server. Will follow up.

Scroll up.

Mission is failing 100% of the time.

This is partially my fault. Awesomemod kept moving my robots out from the family they were assigned to. As a temp workaround, put robot rechargers in any houses you want to be available for a pool of housing.

I have AM and have never had problems with sims' lifespans, I don't know why you might be having them. Check AM config if they are not ageing at all, that has a button for sims 2 type ageing - i.e.not.
