This bug happens to me, too. My game doesn't freeze at all, the clock moves and the music plays. It's only my sims that freeze up. Especially when they're going through doors/gates. It makes them late for work every day.

They get stuck sometimes entering/exiting their work buildings that causes a traffic jam of every sim in my town standing outside buildings.

And another one bites the dust.

Been having increasing problems every day since the patch until it culminated with the Sims 2 bitch. Game is no longer playable.

Well my game has become unplayable. Things have gotten worse every day since the patch.

Every sim with a job in my neighborhood is currently stuck outside their workplaces. I went through an reset each of them individually, and it happened against the next day.

They've started freezing up while they walk, especially going through doors and gates. Once they finally get to work (late because they stopped and froze for 2 hours on the way) they just stop outside the door stare at it.

I guess I'll remove all of my mods and see what happens, but I haven't added any since the patch and things break more every day.

Speaking of the criminal career, I'm trying to have a town where everyone is either a criminal or a cop.

I deleted all the other rabbit-holes... that just makes nobody able to go to work, but they still join the other careers.

I assume it would take a mod to remove careers altogether?

If you haven't gotten them to move yet, you could just turn moveobjects on and move them in buy mode.

Nope.

I did clear all of my caches, and have quite a bit of CC like skin, hairs, clothes, etc. So I thought maybe it was just taking a while to reload all that stuff.

But I left it going for well over an hour and it just kept swirling the loading screen.

EDIT: Well it works fine now. Just decided to be wonky randomly.

editsim/create a sim no longer works for me. just loads forever.

If you're running the razor version, the original TS3 and TSLHost files are in a backup folder in the iso.

I'm just excited I can finally recreate the Debbie Downer skits.

Well if you're hump humping, you're beyond the confess attraction part. I get the confess attraction option before the first kiss.

Be friendly until they're best friends with a full bar. Then do first kiss, then regular kiss, then you can pretty much propose.

just run the game from ts3.exe, instead of the launcher, and it doesn't even attempt to connect.

he's been standing here with no hygiene, fun, or social for a good week in-game. he has full red mood with all negative moodlets. i keep his hunger and energy up a little so he doesn't die that way.

leads me to believe there's no general death by bad mood/stress.

the hygiene bar will be my next test. i'll edit if i get any results.

edit: he's been standing there with 0 hygiene for about 3 game days. nothing has happened. i think the intended punishment for this is that nobody will talk to him.

i just tested it by dragging their energy bar down via cheat while they were in the pool. they did indeed drown.

also fire.

i burned down the langerak house because they annoy me. they turn into piles of ash to be cleaned up, like in sims 2. turn into pretty orange ghosts.

the first sim i made when i installed the game was electrocuted accidentally after about an hour of playing. had a cool ghost with electrical bolts flickering inside him.

I know kung fu...

ann song just moved in with my couple while i was playing another house. despite the fact that she hadn't met either of them (and still hasn't, i still have the menu option to introduce them).

this game is mind boggling sometimes.

in real life, when someone joins the military, their kids usually are born with genetically inherited buzzcuts.

ran some tests on ultra speed with and without it.

average sim time passed in 1 real time minute.

zoomed in on sim activity.

without fps limiter
2 hours 15 minutes

fps limited to 30:
2 hours 50 minutes

in general the game feels more responsive and less sluggish.

House I built on the empty lot between Alto and Landgraab.



there are three entryways because when there was only 1 they ignored it and ran all the way around the outside wall to get to the street.

i just met Gobias. i love all the Arrested Development references in the game. Gobias and the Funke family so far, i'm sure there are more.

thanks for the info, i didn't know that. wonder what else control+clicking can do? i was only familiar with shift.

this will come in handy because it made no sense to have a sad moodlet when my insane evil sim watched his sworn nemesis die.

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet... maids are recurring for me, no matter which household it is. I can call them once and they'll come, but after that they don't come again until I call them. Newspapers pile up for a week.

They worked at first, but over the course of the hours I've put into the neighborhood they've become borked.
