So sue me... I can't be bothered to search the site any longer, is there a definitive list some where of .packaged items?

I am puzzled now what is the post-ambitions way?  I haven't seen anything on that or can you send me the link to it?

On a stupid impulse I removed AwesomeMod temporarily. Romantic interactions began to work again. Possible AM glitch?

I love how they always blame third party mods and cc right away.

Are you using an old save or starting fresh with a new neighborhood?  If you save a game with certain mods and reload that save after taking out the mods, it can lead to weird behavior, problems, and increased chance of BFBVFS.

Yeah, that's a better method than resetsim which is what I used eventually.

My Sim was in a club that closed at 4am, he didn't get in the lift quickly enough (the club was busy) before the club closed and the elevators were switched off. My Sim and a few others were stuck in the club with no way to get out, this is such slack programming it is amateur.

See, Spockblock was right. Now you have a new pet and we expect you to keep it fed, watered and to clean up after it. Congratulations

does anyone know where I could get the Mr. klaus santa hat the was on the Sims 3 store??  I can't find it anywhere

I got that mod as well and removed it when I patched. I thought that the patch would fix the issue, but couldn't find the community mailbox when building new apartments (though the pre-patch apartments I had built still retained the mailboxes I had placed in them even without the mod loaded). So, I put HugeLunatic's mod back in my packages folder and find the community mailbox in the buydebug "?" section. Maybe you just overlooked it? Otherwise, just clear caches and try again because sometimes voodoo and EA are just unpredictable.

Anyone know of a mod that gives more lot size options under the world editor? I wanted to put some lots from LN into the other neighborhoods like the already made dive bar and some of the penthouses, but they are all odd sizes that don't fit properly on what is available. For example Eugi's Local Watering Hole is 40x44... Just look for more options for lot sizes to place.

NPC's have moved into my (completely) custom apartment no problem. Although, I have totally restricted/turned off story progression, made sure that every house that isn't occupied did NOT have a bed/refrigerator (which means NPC's cannot move into those homes) and so, most all NPC's have flooded the apartment complexes (Seriously, like 20 of them are jammed up in 2 technical rooms, the same thing with the other two pre-made apartments in my neighborhood.)

So, what you might want to do is check other houses in your neighborhood and make sure NPC's can't move in there. I had placed the apartments after playing the neighborhood, though I did do a "killallhumans" which probably caused the game to generate new NPC's who then decided to live there. There are other commands like that using Awesomemod like "Rapture" and whatnot, after setting your preferred families as sacred. That would force the game to generate new NPC's as well. Of course, do all these with caution, back up your save yadda yadda...

      Quick help question...somehow all my main Sims 3 disk and my high end loft disk have both disapeared..probably one of my dingy kids snaked it for their laptop.
anyhow, I have to do a clean reinstall and can't find them. Is there a decent torrent I can get them from so I can reinstall the rest of my games?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

thanks!

My bad. I mostly just read trouble-shooting stuff, and skip the strategies forum altogether.

Any progress on making the building shells and apartment mailboxes buyable?

As for the truck - the theory with the magic city icon could only be proven if somebody made a custom city type neighborhood. I'm sick of CAW throwing up on me with its bugginess, so I'm not volunteering here.
