TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: New Pets patch 1.29
|
on: 2011 December 19, 04:47:28
|
*snip* Ever since I installed the 1.29 patch last night, I've had my sound cutting out and not coming back on. The sound plays as normal on load up, then about an hour or so after play, it cuts out. How typical of EA to "fix" things, and break a million other things.
Can you provide a bit more info? Does the sound cut off completely but come back after a while, all at once? If so, that's a problem that has been around for a while with no known cause, as far as I know. The sound doesn't come back on after a while. It took me a while to actually realise that the sound had turned off completely. I first noticed it in CAS. In CAS the background music tends to cut out after a song or two, but the sound effects play as normal. Last night when the sound cut out, I figured that was the case again. Only the sound effects (changing clothing options, outfits etc) when clicking the buttons were not playing and the sim wasn't saying anything either. The last time it happened, I had my sim teaching his dog to speak, as the interaction started, all sound cut out again once more. I continued playing for a few minutes, then saved and quit the game. EDIT: What is PEBCAK? |

With the latest build of AM installed, I'm having severe bouts of random crashing while playing. As well, when I save and go to exit the game to the desktop, it crashes every single time. I removed AM and play-tested again and had no crashes at all.
I'm with base game 1.26, World Adventures, Ambitions, and Late Night.
Do you have any other CC in your game? Have you cleared out your caches? I've had AM installed (with everything installed minus Town Life) and I've experienced no problems. I did experience once instance of crashing when Pets first came out, but that has since been fixed and as far as I've read, the crashing problems seem to have ended. |

This could be AM related or not. I doubt it is, but I figured I would mention it just in case. Starting a new town (Appaloosa Plains), I used the Destroyallhumans command and created a family (man and dog) and moved them in. A few days of game time passed and my dog was guarding the house. A burglar came (the silly dog did nothing, but I figure he needs to be trained or something), only the burglar was invisible. The music played and I figured it was because the dog was guarding. But from nowhere, a white sack appeared in the bathroom and the toilet and sink were stolen. The police came and had a fight with thin air (and lost). This was about 5 minutes of real world time and the burglar still didn't show up.
EDIT: I should probably add that I am using the latest version of AM.

I get a jump bug of sorts. I've only played the Pets twice since I got it on Thursday, the first time I noticed that pets actions cancel themselves out, but it goes in a loop with the animal (in both cases a dog and a horse), where the pet will autonomously try to do something, then the action gets cancelled, then it tries repeating it again and it goes in a cycle.
Yesterday while playing with a horse, I put it in the stable thing and it "jumps" outside it. I also get a lot of path errors above the animals head saying that something is blocking the object (when it clearly isn't).
Another thing (which could be normal) is I got a scenario when moving in a family (Single Sim and Horse) and had the meteor scenario. The soot smudges on the floor were going under objects and the sim couldn't clean them (in this instance, a fridge and driveway). The sim was also unable to access the garage using the garage door (but this could be a path issue, the sim was trying to clean a covered soot smudge).
Overall, this has to be the buggiest game I've got. I've always been fortunate to not get any issues with new EPs.

You would have thought that EA would have had the sense to put lots down that they could actually fit on. I've got no problem if they aren't at the road properly, I can delete and rotate them, it's when the only lot sizes are far too large and they are swimming in a sea of grass. I prefer my lots to fit snuggly with the boarder. And 9 times out of 10, the lot placement doesn't allign with the road or you can't place them anywhere.

I haven't looked at the Fountain of Youth object yet, but I am generally unimpressed with the neighborhood. You kind of have to admire EA's big brass ones for charging $20 for something that pales in comparison to what cc creators generally give away for free.
I have to agree with you there. I downloaded it and had a look, it looks like a bland and thrown together neighbourhood. The only thing I liked about it was one of the lots on the mountain that gave a really good view of the town, but apart from that, I am greatly unimpressed. I also can't understand why the lots which came with Ambitions suffer the same problems that a new Sunset Valley and Bridgeport are just thrown down and don't even face the street. |

TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: Laptop Recommendations?
|
on: 2011 September 04, 02:58:58

I realized later that I didn't give enough information on the laptop I mentioned before, so here it is  Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110622-1506) System Manufacturer: TOSHIBA System Model: Satellite C660D Processor: AMD E-350 Processor (2 CPUs), ~1.6GHz Memory: 6144MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics Display Memory: 2983 MB Current Mode: 1366 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz) It can play the game OK on high settings, but I find that it renders the textures a little bit faster with a few settings turned to medium (I think it's the Sim Detail, but I could check). The games I have installed are The Sims 3 (obviously), WA, AMB, LN, GEN and Outdoor Living Stuff. |

Thank you, that was exactly what I was loking for. I have never heard of that site, but I'm glad that I have also found more of Leester's work. So double thanks.
I did do a search, both on here and with Google. Google didn't really help, it spat out stuff about guides and stuff.

TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Less Hunger Satisfaction With Fresh Food.
|
on: 2011 May 07, 22:59:30

Hello  I've tried searching, but I've come up with nothing. Anyway, I've recently started a new neighborhood where everyone relies on everyone else and not service people or unowned community lots. I created a farming family and they produce all the food for the NH, which is great, in theory. However, now that everyone is eating fresh food, they are all getting fat because fresh food gives more hunger satisfaction. Is there a hack anywhere that stops sims from getting so much hunger satisfaction when eating fresh food. It's great for my sim who owns the local gym, but it's annoying that I'm having to make sims work out every day to try and bring their fitness up a bit (which depletes when eating the next meal). TL;DR? I don't like how much hunger satisfaction Sims recieve when eating fresh food; is there a hack or mod that removes this annoyance feature? Thanks. |

Is there a large file anywhere which contains ALL of the Sims 2 Store downloads and fixes? The links in the first post are no longer working. I thought I had all the items, but it seems I don't.

Hey. I've tried searching for a fix for this problem, but I'm not seeing anything useful. I downloaded a few of the Store things in the other thread and when I install them, they don't appear in my game, and when I close the launcher and reopen it, any content that was said to have installed is no longer there. Like I said, I've tried searching for a fix around, but all I've seen is people asking the same question and not many replies to it. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

When I got the legit copy, I uninstalled pirate copy and then rebooted, then installed the new one. I could register my serial, and use the launcher...but it still tells me in the launcher welcome window that I have an unauthorized copy.
That is very strange, I have an arrred version, and I had forgot to d/c from the internet when I had the launcher opened. I get full access to all the online features, and it quite happily informs me that my game is up to date. The only thing is that it won't install the store items, I had to use Pescado's tool for that. |
