I'm no programming expert either, but it looks to me more like system problems than Sims 3 specifically. I don't know if this is a Windoze 8.1 issue because I don't use 8.1, I haven't seen a lot of people complaining though. You could check your Windoze updates I guess.

You may want to have a chat to your son as to what 'to cyber' means in Internetz terms, lol.

The robot puts the meal away instantly, when in the present (past), sims don't have time to get to the household meal. Awesomemod leaves the plates out for a wee bit which is far more useful. Can the robot be delayed?

Can phones please be silenced permanently? Now it's not just Uni, but everytime the sims time travel, all their damn phones get turned on again. Hoverboard preferences, i.e. use the board instead of walk, get nerfed also.

The moon landing flag commemoration on landing with a jetpack is cute the first few hundred times, but after that it gets a bit old, it's gone beyond an acknowledgement to a mockery. Is it possible to make this a fairly rare event?

ETA:
When returning from the future 2/5 of my sims lost all their wishes, have others experienced this? I doubt it's an AM bug.

It all worked fine tonight, so I'm assuming the site was just overloaded last time.

I couldn't get the 'wait for 5 seconds, hit download button' to work in Furry Fox, even with javascript enabled. (I do use an ad blocker.) I had to use IE. It was quite interesting, I don't think I've ever seen ads on the internet before. The new format of the TSR page allows ads to be interspersed with the downloads, quite cunning. The ads had no trouble downloading, but the site was slower than a wet week and most of the download images failed to load. I'll try again in a couple of weeks when the excitement has died down.

He did say it would probably take until at least the weekend.

I reckon something like this takes me 30-40 hours. I look for something that inspires an idea on the internet, then I search on floor plans, colour scheme and decor. Then comes the shell, getting proportions and light right, with a runway for the sims so they don't get stuck routing so much. Finally I decorate more-or-less room by room. Light adjustments and gardens come last.

I have spent two evenings so far on a new house, which is ALMOST COMPLETELY UNLIKE this house in every way. 

I had a desire for colour, lots of colour.  

This is a house which is influenced by the rich colours of Spain. I used this site to create the scheme.


And let me assure you, I used ALL THE COLOURS. If you are the sort of person who likes beige with a splash of accent colour, I advise you to leave

now.

So, it's a two bedroom, two bathroom bungalow. §66,347 furnished, §33,925 unfurnished. 30x20 lot.

Do sims take selfies autonomously? I don't recall mine doing that.

I have a fambly, one of whom is going to run a store. I wanted to make my own store, so I cleared a 30x20 lot and set it as a hangout. The real estate register finally noticed it after a game reload and I thought it was all good. Then I noticed the price, set at upwards of $51K. This is a blank lot with nothing on it, I was going to build the shop as I went.

Anyone have any idea why there is such an astronomical price hike?

I'll try wanding it but don't expect it to work as there are no objects on the lot.

Fixed. 

INORITE? I wondered that too. I looked at my hands, although they are more rectangular than square. I guess it would be 'right' as you looked at the hand, but then if you turn your hand over, it becomes left. I don't think it will catch on.

Ditto. Not sure about finishing work, I don't often use speed 4 on that, but definitely the waking up is not pausing.

So where can I find a lighting mod for Midnight Hollow that would actually allow me to SEE ALL THE FUCKING THINGS.

 

Can't say I'm not helpful.

I'll leave the post in this thread for a day or two so people get a chance to respond to the query, before the post gets moved to the download thread.

I like the redrum bedrum.

I'm sorry I haven't been participating lately, I always mean to but what with work, a reinstall of my PC that does not include sims 3 so far and the fact that I have been teleported to Neverwinter Nights online, means that there has been no opportunity to build recently. I still follow the threads with interest and vote.

There is less than a week to go and funding is still at about 20%

That is stunning and really appeals to my sense of mystery and magic. Lots of surprises in there, I reckon.

I didn't end up with enough time to build after all, but it turns out we have a great selection anyway.

Hell, not just imaginary bonus points, I will also give you an imaginary lollipop. 

Noice!

I really like the western house, it's well done and authentic looking.
I also really like the knot garden, it appeals to my geometrical bias and I like having everything efficiently in one place.

I'm pretty sure phoenixc said the other worlds were OK. I would try a fresh game of IP.

Just load the game, go to the main menu and start a new IP game, phoenixc.
