More queue - 6 is not enough.

Fix the "headlineeffects off" cheat. EAxis broke the damn thing. It hides the speech/thought bubbles fine but not the plumbs(even though it says it's supposed to hide the plumbs). It also hides things I need - like pop ups for Sim names, plant states, meal info and others.

No music in build/buy/CAS.

Thanks - I deleted caches and resetworld. It seems to be better now.

This keeps popping up. Help?

Anach, would you consider making a mod that increases the fridge cost of multiple serving food? I think it's wrong that a 8 serving dish costs exactly the same as a single serving one. I think the 8 serving dish should cost about 3 times the amount of the single serving.

I'm having some trouble downloading these mods ... it'll say it's downloaded and I do have 7 zip but when I double click on it nothing happens.

Someone want to check that it's not just me?

I played with Coconut Island and it was beautiful and playable.  There were too many bug spawners for me and not enough of everything else so I only played with it a little before I uninstalled it.

Thank you all for your suggestions so far - this should keep my busy for a while.

I've found a couple one over at MTS but otherwise have been saddened by the lack of nice, well made TS3 custom worlds. Do any of you have a favorite?

Or you could have double and triple checked http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,17454.0.html like I did. I knew for certain before I posted there was nothing wrong with my framework but I moved it all anyway just in case. In my case no one could have guessed why I kept getting the expired message since I clearly have a ghost in my machine and fail at reading dates correctly.

You got attitude because you failed to do everything you could to help yourself. MATY doesn't do hand holding.

I get "Unknown command: buydebug" I know that it's under the sort by function in the buy menu. I've even watched videos of other people turning the damn thing on and off and yet all I get is : "Unknown command: buydebug"

Edit: Problem solved "buydebug" only works when I remove my mods folder so it's conflicting with one of my few mods. I found my answer anyway. The main reason I wanted it to work was so I could delete spawners from a hood but I can see that I can only delete spawners from the lots with buydebug and not the open fields and stuff. I guess I'll have to look for a world maker that would be willing to make a custom world for me as I fail at CAW.

Today must be my day of fail.

I have "testingcheatsenabled true" on in my game but it still insists that "buydebug" doesn't exist ... Has anyone had this happen?

I have all SP/EP.
Awsomemod is up to date.
Showconfig clearly shows me testingcheatsenabled is true.

I've tried "buydebug on" "buydebug" "Buydebug on" "BuyDebug on" "buyDebug on".
I've searched.
I've tried it all again.
The game insists that "buydebug" doesn't exist.

Note: Quotes not used in game just in this post to clarify.

I really hate to chime in here but I've searched and done everything suggested and I am still getting the awsomemod expired message.

I've cleared my browser cache and re-downloaded.
I've searched for the file to make sure it's not where it shouldn't be.
I moved the whole mod setup to the new place in my documents.
I've remembered each and every time I loaded the game to delete the cache files in my documents.

I still get the expired message. Every. Single. Time.

I have no idea what is wrong.

Edit: Okay solved. I have no idea HOW it happened but my computer was set for August 31 instead of July 31. Clearly user error - feel free to mock me. I deserve it.

I've seen the second error off and on since the Base game. I always do a resetsim on the parent and that takes care of it.

I had this same problem awhile back and struggled with it and looked up the RTFM and found the solution. Guess what? The answer is out there. Use your head, your brain will appreciate the exercise.

Re-downloaded and installed 3Booter - Frame Limiter still not functioning ... Thanks for the F10 tip.

Edited to add: I've rechecked, re-downloaded and re-installed 3Booter and Frame Limiter and Frame Limiter is still not working. It's currently very hot where I live and I fear for my video card. Any more help would be wonderful.

Finally found the solution. After trying and trying to keep everything in the Sims 3 directory I was forced to move it into the Ambitions directory instead. I should have thought of this solution sooner. Now both Frame Limiter and Awesome work. Hopefully if anyone else runs into this they can try what I did and maybe it will work for them.

After triple checking it appears that the FPS Limiter is no longer working in my game. I always start my game with 3Booter(installed as directed in the Sims3 root) and a couple patches ago I noticed that I wasn't getting the big green 30 in the top left corner of my screen anymore. I checked recently in game with "fps on" and it reports frame rates of 80+. I re-downloaded/installed and checked again in game and I'm still getting high frame rates ...

Help?

It's sloppy coding and bad quality control. There is nothing remotely interesting in paying over $40CND for an EP only to find all sorts of bugs that should have been dealt with. Why are you always loving on EA anyway?

I would like to add here that allowing waste failure has no consequences(other than a puddle) so you can ignore it if you want.

Edited to add: The tag/running big works on Simbots as well.

I have a few basic mods in place but none, I think, that would do what happened in my game.

I'm currently playing a Fire Chief(made Sim, worked her up) with an adopted daughter who is now a YA. Daughter got an opportunity to go to France to ask someone about the "french puzzler" for a guy I want her to marry so I sent her. She stole her Mom's personal firetruck and left it in France. In fact the whole process of leaving to go to WA land was off - she drove the firetruck somewhere in Twinbrook and then was walking up a front walk when the WA loading screen showed up. Once she got there and I told her to go find out about the puzzle she pulled the firetruck out to drive there, walked into the wrong place and then pulled a scooter out which she drove to the parked firetruck and talked to the lady. When I sent her home she left the firetruck behind - her Mom no longer has a personal firetruck.

Bork - but very funny.

Yup - TS3 Smite: Death by meteor! FTW

So far I've gotten only small house fires, big house fires and a few building disasters with my now Fire Chief Sim. Bring on the disasters!

I'm playing with no AM as my game version is 4.0.3 so I can't test as far as I can tell. I am currently playing a firefighter and there are 4 co-workers that just hang around the fire station and do nothing but they are there to befriend.

I have a few mods set up in the old framework and am using the frame limiter and kick starter from here. My game has run very smoothly with little to no trouble, no CTD and everything seems to be working fine. I have put in probably over 6 hours of play.

This has been covered. I think the last time someone came whining about it they were told to clear their web browser cache and re-download.

I've had the game lock up on me as well and actually searched and found the "exit stage left" thread - next time it happens I will try to see if a quick pause and resetworld will help. Otherwise I just set Awesome Mod to autosave for me so I don't lose a lot of game play. Next time it freezes I will give it a bit more time as I thought that the program hung and I was SOL.

I remember something about being able to do artificial insemination at the Science lot but when I checked out the Wiki I could find nothing. Did I dream it?
