THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I don't wonder so much about the game developers, since bugs come with the job, but it does worry me that there is absolutely no testing done before they release this crap. For that I blame EA's Sims Division manager or whatever entity is making them shit out games every 6 months. (leaving very little time for any kind of rigorous, meaningful testing.)

For example, my sim resets every time s/he throws food to their dog. A goddamn feature of the stupid game is broken, and they would have caught that had they bothered to test it.

But since removing the celestial salt lick, I no longer have about 20 "Zenyettas" on my lawn, in the house, blocking the gates/doors, toilet, etc. so thanks so much for that information.

There is a xml mod at MTS to lower the rate of the gnomes if it is becoming bothersome and you wish to keep the salt lick. It was one of the first thing's I got because the default value is overwhelming as you have noted.

I still can't get any of the CC that I downloaded from here to work in game.


  I have tried the fix that was posted from TSR,I have also tried decrapping everything and installing it through putting it right into the download floder,without the launcher install,though the CC does show up in the launcher as not installed,then when I try and install it through the launcher it tells me that I have to update even though I have it patched up to date.  I have also un installed the sims 3 and the packs that I have also I have downloaded the CC again with the same results as above.

The only CC that works in game is the store stuff I bought.

All the custom content I've downloaded here works. I haven't tried any objects (only hairs and clothes atm) because I'm not ready to try fixing them, but there's nothing wrong with the actual downloads and their installability. You're doing it wrong.

Are you patching manually or through the launcher?  The launcher sometimes (read, "often") misses patches when it updates.  I recommend using the MTS patch tool instead.

I patch the game through the launcher,I'll download the patch tool and see if that helps. Thanks.

Edit: Downloaded the patch tool,and have three updates to install.  Why does the launcher sometimes miss patches?

Bridgeport is lagging, with sims dropping actions or getting stuck frequently since installing Pets. Has anyone else experienced this?

The short answer:  the launcher is a badly-coded piece of crap, and EA should feel bad.

I know nothing about the workings of the launcher. Installing the patches the launcher missed didn't help. I might just un install it all and start again.

Unable to select 8th sim in household from premades because 'household is already full'. WTF EA? Are you aresholes insane? What if I want to use a premade? It's not like sitting there for 3 hours with the random button is going to help. Fuck you!

So... distorted pets are just a graphics card problem? Or there's a solution beyond that?

I've been away from the game for a few months.  I noticed with Pets that sims started routing through bushes and landscaping.  I don't recall this happening before but I could be wrong.  Is this something that was broken in Pets?

I downloaded a custom world this week and placed a pre-made ranch on it. One horse keeps running straight through the house on its exercise loop. I presume the world was updated and intended for Pets because it has the Pet adoption lot.

 Angry Since I updated to the latest EA patch my Unicorn now looks like a normal horse. The game still considers it a Unicorn, it just doesn't look like one anymore. Anyone else had this issue and know how to resolve it?

Had the issue. Previously, I had managed to move the sim and unicorn from one instance of Appaloosa plains to another, and the unicorn kept its horn. When I moved sim and 'corn to a custom world, it did not. I don't know if the unicorn kept its other unicornly attributes, after it kept running through the house I decided to leave horses out of the world.

I tried that, but horns don't show up in CAH. The option for horn is there, but it's blank.

Sarcasm or not, given that I have done nothing with Unicorns, what I have read about unicorn horns leads me to believe it is possible.

I'm not only having the common "zombie pets" problem (i.e. my pets, especially cats, look like Gwill's picture), my game is CTD'ing. I only have AwesomeMod, Twallan's ErrorTrap and Overwatch, and the two mods that came with the framework, as well as hair, clothes, and default eyes and skins. Everything is up-to-date, my graphics card is fine, everything in my game should be running smooth as glass. The only other time I've had a CTD is when I first installed AwesomeMod, and that was a while ago. I'm not even having noticeable lag. I just installed Pets today, so I don't know Cry.
Edit: Aha, my graphics card was apparently not fine. My graphics card, which is clearly substandard, could handle the base game without major problems, but Pets was too much for it apparently. The graphics card is replaced, and my pets are no longer mangled and my game is running much smoother. I tried playing a premade fambly in Riverview to see if my old Sunset Valley hood; which had acquired many lots and Sims over the ages; was causing the problem, but no difference. In fact it was worse; my game was freezing even more frequently, especially when I introduced a mangled horse into the household. I had a CTD about 2 Sim days into playing them, erasing the successful Try for Baby my Sims had completed the previous day (save often, people, best advice I can give you). Now, with a nice graphics card and moar memory, my game is running beautifully, with all my pets appearing the way they should. It appears Pets wasn't a total waste of my money.

ErrorTrap is a core mod.
Awesomemod is a core mod.
Do you see a problem there?
The Highlander rule doesn't apply if the mods modify different files.  ErrorTrap and Awesomemod should play nice without causing too much trouble.
