Has anyone tried out the camera in World Adventures yet? I have bought the cheap disposable one and the most expensive one (sorry I forget what they where called now) and used them both. As soon as I select "take photo" it crashes straight to the desktop. It's really annoying.

Has anyone had any success with a photo yet?

I'm running a NVIDIA GEforce 8800 GT, I had that driver problem a few days ago but rolled back to the older ones and that had stopped all my crashing to desktop. This seems to be a new exciting variant of the problem.

Other than that the game runs a bit slower than usual but no major hiccups.

Edit: Sorry forgot to mention that I have no hacks or mods in my game.

I spent so much of my time trying to get rid of Goopy from Sims 2 and yet I am compelled to put him back. The power of Goopy compels you!

For your daredevil bit.. I left my daredevil Sim to do her own thing for a bit and came back to find her putting her finger into the fireplace and playing with fire. Don't know if this can cause them to be set on fire... but  I kinda hope so. Pretty sure she also got a positive moodlet for doing so.

I had the pirated version. I copied my Electronic Arts folder (the one from documents) onto a flash drive just to make sure it was safe and then uninstalled it normally. I had no problems installing the bought version and its working perfectly (also no crashes... yet). I was able to put back my save game from the reloaded pirate copy and it worked ok.. if a little slow.

I just like their faces in this one



My Sim just painted the Birth of Venus.. not bad!

They do affect your Sim ie: if you drink a cup of coffee you get a moodlet from it, while that moodlet is in effect you cannot go to sleep (the option is greyed out and mentions the moodlet when you hover over the sleep option).

So some of them are definitely more than just short term memories.

Has anyone else had an elder last a really really long time past their lifespan? I've got mine set to live 190 days and this sim is now 206. I like her and all but I  need to make some way for babies. DIE SIM DIE.

Ok I'll try that!! Thanks!

IT WORKED!!! Thank you so much I've spent hours on this family.

Not that I could tell, they didn't seem to act any different other than you could "speak highly of....", "speak badly of..." or "express condolences".

Just after that my game crashed while saving and now I can't get it back 

Sorry if this has been discussed, but I don't recall seeing it on this thread.

I just went to throw a birthday party for my Sim and saw there was an option for a funeral.... I have an elder Sim but she's not quite close to dying. At a campaign fundraiser I had someone die in my house, really wrecked the mood. Is the funeral for that guy or is to to kill my elder? Anyone tried this out yet?

Edit: Tried it out - it was a funeral for the Sim who died on my lot!

I've noticed this happening too. Generally it seems to be spouses/family members of people I've invited and occasionally the next door neighbours have gatecrashed. I like it!

They bring way too much food though, it all goes off in the fridge.

I just had a birthday party for my sim and the cake caught fire, everyone freaked out. it was really funny!

Anyway, I just moved his girlfriend in and although there was a baby in the move in options I thought it was her sister, turns out its her kid. Is there a way to get that kid to move in now? Woopsie.

Edit: I split the baby and an adult from her old household and merged with the new one.. I'll kick that extra guy out. Hope this works.

Yep, there is a sim in my neighbourhood called Chintan (something  like that) he hooked up with another guy and they got married. Aww!

Also I think they had a baby because Chintan came to a party as just a floating head, I read somewhere that a guy sim got knocked up and had no body for the duration of the pregnancy in someone else's game.

I thought you might be able to make jewelery also! Maybe in an expansion, that would be pretty cool.

Not sure why but I'm really loving how my sim has ended up with a million things in his inventory. I have a Dr sim who is also a writer, she's constantly stressed and never gets to speak to her husband/kid. The dads unemployed but fishes all day and then looks for gems the rest of the time. The kids totally neglected which is bad because he has the friendly trait which apparently means "your social bar will dive into the red if no-one speaks to you for 30 seconds".

In conclusion, I am really enjoying this game.

Oh yes, I didn't notice they where doing that. I wanted to put them on display somewhere else I suppose. They are cluttering up my house!

I really love tea, Inge

Can anyone help me with the collecting business? I had my sim collect a crap load of gems, metals and space rocks. He's getting them cut and smelted etc but what do I do with them now? Is there anything more interesting to do other than sell them?

Hi! I've been lurking a while but thought I would finally register.

I've been playing about 4 days now and I'm quite enjoying it, well I was until I sent a sim out to collect a gemstone and decided to save it as he was on the way. As soon as I hit save it crashed to the desktop. I dutifully restarted (its crashed a few times) but the save game isn't coming up in the main menu bit anymore (my other saved games are though!). I can see it in the "Saves" folder but the game has decided its not worth playing I suppose.

I noticed something that I hope wasnt' just a coincidence with that family, the dad was a slob and messed the whole house up (and didn't do a very good job of looking after his son). When the son grew up I didn't get to choose his trait and he was given "neat". I wonder if thats a result of the slobbishness he was forced to endure?
