I'd add to this a request for a way to have a sim opt out of the attraction system altogether. A new 'Repulsive' trait seems like a logical way to do that.

I'd suggest looking at your CC first.  You may have a buggy item in there, or you might simply have too much CC installed.

Crammyboy hasn't been active here for a long time, and has never shared any Sims3 mods here.

Everything you're looking for is available at Sexy Sims.  Try asking for help there.  I think you'll get better results than asking here.

You definitely can not load a Generations saved neighborhood without Generations installed. As for sims saved to the sim bin, I don't know if they'd be usable.

Best bet, if you don't have a pre-Generations save to fall back to, is to just start over with a new neighborhood.

I see I got a custom title as well as a custom avatar.  I feel so special!   

That's rather disturbing, Jermy.

I like it.

I'm pretty sure she's a member of a South Korean music group, but I don't know her name.

I like the avatar because she looks like she's having fun.

I have not yet found a functioning vending machine, sorry.

I just use a Fanta fridge, and pretend it's a vending machine.

Ah, now I see what your issue is, Claeric.  It would seem that the initial purchace price is based primarily on just the private area, but the bills you get in the mail are calculated based on the value of the whole lot.

Actually, that makes sense to me. It prevents people from having a pauper living in a mansion by making everything public except a broom closet.

So, to reduce your bills for your "rented room" apartment, decorate with cheap crap throughout the house (including cheap wall/floor textures), and keep hidden rooms empty.

It's rather sad, how hard Trixie tries to be one of the cool kids, and how hard he fails.


If you want to verb Claeric, please keep it to yourself.

On the contrary, this is a relatively civil thread, considering it started with a question.

I haven't used CAW since the first beta version (It simply takes longer to build a world than I care to devote to the task), so I don't have an answer. I can only guess.

First, I'd try poking around the menu to see if there's a setting for where to save. Probably under Options.  Or, like many Windows programs, it might default to the folder where it last saved a file. If so, when you want to save a new copy, choose Save As and then select a different folder in the same window that you choose a new name.

Thanks for sharing your solution to your crashing problem.

I doubt your save file actually got packed. It's much more likely that it got corrupted, due to CAW crashing while it was accessing it. The error handling code in CAW is likely not sophisticated enough to tell the difference between a packed file and a corrupted one.

If I intended to use the word piece but wrote peace, that would be a homonym error. However, I intended to use the word peace and I wrote the word peace. Therefore I did not make a homonym error. I used the correct word, with the correct spelling, for my intended purpose.  Why is that such a difficult concept to understand?

Actually, never mind. Don't bother explaining why you fail to comprehend. I'm no longer interested.

That's one of my favorite facepalm pics 

Thank you for that link. It was an interesting read.

However, that article does not at any time state that one form or the other of this idiom is correct. It is a discussion of the trend in the lexical trade between piece and peace within some idioms.


In the case of idioms, if a mistake becomes common enough, it is no longer a mistake. However, for the time being I will concede the point. I used an incorrect idiom. It is still not a homonym error.

Piece? Piece of what? Piece of cheese? Piece of pastrami? Piece of ugly butt? No.

Peace, for those here unfamiliar with the word, means the opposite of Moar Fight.

I wrote exactly what I meant. I did not say a "piece" of anything. I declared my intention to discontinue arguing with jeromycraig, because I felt we had come to some common ground in our dispute.  The phrase I used is considered valid in the parts of the world I am from and have visited.

Thank you, snowbawl, for the help in pointing out where people think I made an error.

I looked it up, and you're correct. "Recognise" is the British spelling of the word.

I apologise for this criticism and retract it.

You're welcome. I'm happy to help the easily amused.

By the way, the correct spelling is recognize, and there's no homonym error.

I thought The Butt was supposed to be a specialist in intelligent meanness. I'm disappointed.

I said my peace. Take it as you will.

Ok jeromycraig, you finally gave me a chuckle. At last, a witty insult instead of merely acting like a belligerent ass. I knew you could Be Less Stupid. That's all I really wanted.

About hunting down patch files, there's no need. The 3rd party patch downloader over at MTS is good at doing that for me, and in fact I already have the patch files thanks to it.  Others here have said you're a major proponent for this patch downloader, so I find it odd that you have yet to mention it.

Anyway, I have not yet had any need to uninstall and reinstall my game, but if I did I would simply install them in release order and then use the patch downloader to insure that everything is properly patched to the current patch.  I don't suppose you have any complaints about that plan?


At this point, I'm willing to concede the argument. I was just poking you for not including the patch downloader in your advice anyway. In the meantime, I'm checking my closet for launchers. 

There is a difference between conspiracy theories and recognizing patterns of poor quality control.  Thanks for playing, please try again!



Being a senator is supposed to mean something?

1) You trust EA's installer to work better than their Launcher? Why?

2) Even assuming the installer is better programmed, it is still limited to whatever patch EA put on the disk when it went gold, not the current patch. Fail.

3) The installer has never patched my game. Instead, it likes to complain that I'm already patched to a newer patch than it supports.

4) You're late. Do you really need Claeric to graphically point that out?

5) Your ridiculous changes in font size make you look like a shouty tard. Is that how you want to look?

Oh no! Please don't butthurt me! Please! *cower* *whimper*



/sarcasm

You trust the EA launcher to patch your game? It's THUNDERINGLY OBVIOUS you're a moron.
