I think that's only if the Sim has the Pedophile trait. At least, those are the only Sims I've seen get arrested for being on school property.

If you have no other hacks and have followed the installation instructions properly, it should work. Although, it clearly doesn't, which leads me to believe you've done something wrong when installing. Did you try reinstalling as earlier posters suggested?

Have you deleted your .cache files? That may or may not help, but there's no reason not to try it.

I posted about this same exact problem in the thread dedicated to the AM and ISM combo-deal, which is where you should have looked first for answers.
After making changes that, arguably, weren't real changes at all, the notifications came on.
If reinstalling doesn't work, just give it more time. Even on silly fast things are progressing fairly slowly in my game.

Well, I did the same thing, without meaning to. I got very frustrated with the damn thing last night, so I closed down and didn't start it up until a few hours ago.
It probably would have worked even if I didn't do anything. Who the hell knows.

I had been playing for awhile, so I have no idea why they didn't start coming up.

For future reference for anyone who has the same problem:
I deleted the .cache files, and then did ctrl+shift+c "setconfig indiestone on" just to be sure it was turned on.
Then I set notifications to Off, then back to on. Then I configured them so everything was All, so I would see any notification.
Nothing happened at first, so I was fooling around with the other settings. Right after I gassed the obnoxious homeless masses hiding in my neighborhood, I got the first notification.
Some buffoon fell to his death. And then another! Some 12 got a job or something.

So, I don't know why it didn't work at first. I don't think any of my neurotic behavior could have impacted it that much...
Ah well. At least it works now.
 !

I installed ISM and AM as the instructions said, and both seem to be working.
I have all AM functions working as they should.
ISM commands show up on the cell phone.

However, I never get notifications (yes, they're supposed to be turned on) for anything. Is this a known glitch or is ISM not working?

The aging thing is obnoxious like that. Apparently the game thinks its doing us a favor by having elder Sims live long past their expiration date, but I can't say I agree.
I've noticed that most hand-reared Sims live well out into their 100's, for the 90-day life span, or 60's/70's for the 50-day life span. When Sims are only living to 50 elsewhere, it's obviously very frustrating to have the Sims on your home lot living to nearly 1.5 times the life span. As far as I know, it has nothing to do with how well-treated these Sims were, and making them Vegetarians/Marathon Runners doesn't seem to have much effect. I've found they outlive their welcome no matter their traits/hobbies.

Use debug mode to drag their hunger all the way down. I did this to an unwanted boyfriend of a Sim, and he fell to the floor instantly, no countdown. Or, if you want an old age ghost, do what Georgette suggested.

Forgive my stupidity. Do you mean to tell me that pregnant Sims cannot starve to death?

Start a new save file and see if the Sims are acting the same way in that game. I used to have a similar problem in my very first save file, but I didn't realize it was a problem until I started a new file and observed more active Sim behavior. Sims 3 Sims seem to have much lower autonomy than their TS2 counterparts. Back in TS2, my Sims would do anything to get to another Sim and start socializing. In TS3, they'd rather just... do nothing.  Still, your problem seems a bit more severe than normal TS3 behavior. Like I said, I had the same sort of thing happen, but the problem only affected one save file.

This will be better for your game, anyway. If you're adhering to Legacy rules as strictly as you seem to be, your family is living on the biggest lot there is. Moving them to a smaller one might put off the BFBVFS, especially if your computer is old/slow/ornery.

Did you try the old standby of deleting the cache files?

EDIT:    wrong game.

Oh. Standing around for days on end doesn't sound like "normal" ghost behavior. I thought you just meant they were staying out into the daylight hours and then returning to their gravestones, eventually. That sounds pretty frustrating, but resetsim should work. It worked when I had a ghost of some townie who croaked on my lot get stuck when his tombstone evaporated. Good luck.

They've never done that before? Mine always stick around for breakfast, at the very least. I  believe its been determined that ghosts stay out for a random period of six hours, beginning somewhere between twelve a.m. and six a.m. A ghost could come out at, for example, three a.m. and hang around until nine a.m., therefore having time to eat breakfast with the family.

Mine have always done this, from about the third time I played the game. If something's broken, I've got the same problem. However, mine always do go back to their tombstones, eventually, even if it's nearly noon by the time they do so.

Hah. In one of my games, half the songs play, and half don't. It's literally every other song. If I leave build/buy on, it'll play the first song, but not the next. After the silence that the second song should occupy, it plays the third song. It goes on like that until it hits the first song. I thought my speakers were fucking up, until I realized that that happened to everyone.

The stereo songs mostly work... I think. To be honest, I'm almost glad. That first fucking Salsa song from TS2 haunts my dreams.

It must not work in every circumstance.
My sim reached the top of the Medical career, but she was never able to predict the outcome of her own pregnancies or her daughter's pregnancies. The majorities of my non-active sims are decidedly childfree, so I never saw the option to predict gender.

Does "wasn't there at all" mean that it wasn't listed with the family?
Does the mystery larvae show up in the family tree?
Do family members have it in their relationship tab?

For starters, I would try "resetsim simname"
simname clearly being the first and last name of the baby, with a space in the middle.

I was mainly referring to the insects and rocks collectibles.  My sims hardly roll wants for rocks, and have NEVER rolled wants for insects. So, like I said, those collectibles don't have a purpose.

The seeds are all right. The method of obtaining them makes more sense than TS2, but I can't tell if that's a good thing.

Sounds like a scam to me.

My Sims sold a bunch of books to the bookstore, but I can't remember them showing up for sale. Of course, I never look at all the options at the bookstore, I just click on the Music/Fishing/Recipes/Skills tab depending on what I want. I can't be bothered to scroll through all those other books.

Really?! That would be great, if it works. I'll have to test it next time I fire my game up.

That's part of my complaint.
It feels like collectibles should do something more than what they do, which is fill trivial wants and little else. If there was a real purpose, I wouldn't find it to be so completely pointless and aggravating. It could be a good idea; it just isn't in the form it is now.

For some reason I had forgotten completely that there was a Fishing skill in the game. My Sims never fish.

I've edited my list to reflect your changes. I'm not entirely sure I ever saw 8 for the fishbowl one. I think I had that confused with 8 plants. I try to ignore that fishbowl one; it just seems unbelievably tedious.
You're probably right. I've changed it to 13, at least for now.

I just counted them up from the Prima Guide .pdf and there are, in fact, 32. Of course, that means fuck-all; it is Prima.

Anyway, here is my list. It's nearly the same as Zazazu's, if we don't include the second instance of Star News Anchor.

There are 15 career-related lifetime wishes:

- Swimming in Cash (Have $200,000 in Family Funds)*
- Living in the Lap of Luxury (Have Household Net Worth of $200,000)




Wishes marked with * have variables which supposedly change. I included the variables that I have experienced through playing, but my memory isn't always perfect.
tl;dr: YMMV.


If you add all of those up, it's 32. I've looked around a number of sites, including this one, and I have no idea what the mysterious 33rd lifetime wish is.
In conclusion, there are probably only 32.

From my understanding of the rules, offspring and mates of spares do NOT count for points.
Sims must be directly related to the founder through birth or adoption, though adopted Sims cannot be heirs, to be eligible for points. The one and only exception to this is the spouse of the heir, and he/she only counts if he/she produces the next generation.

So, hypothetical situation:
Sim A is heir and married to spouse Sim B. Sim A has a child with Sim C, unrelated to legacy family and living off-lot. If the child of Sim A and Sim C is the heir, does Sim B count for points?
I think he/she does, assuming he/she also produced a child with the heir. Right?
That's the only way it would be "fair", i.e. you wouldn't be sacrificing possible points for better genetics.

I believe I stole the wife for a Sim of mine, but she was almost elder by that point. Because I am a moron, I didn't realize AFs can spawn right up until their elder transition (nor did I realize the idiocy of starting with a single male Sim). So, I used the "Kick Out" function, and married my founder off to someone else. A little while later, I got the "Morgana Wolff is getting old and doesn't have much time left..." message. Predictably, she died a few days later.

I never even really looked at the premade families, so I can't say which ones do and don't interest me. However, iirc, the Wolffs are a childless couple. Those are the sorts of families that would intrigue me the most. EA-made kids are just bothersome.

I've had two Gardening Level 10 Sims get the cheese and egg opportunity, but so far none of my gardeners have received the opportunity/ies for burgers/steak/omni.

However, since some of you have had the opportunities regardless of having Gardening skill above the required level, I'm not too worried. My Sims will likely be gardeners for many generations to come (or at least until they get extremely wealthy and I'm sick of them), so I'll probably end up with meat plants eventually. Of course, I play on Medium lifespan, so my Sims might all die waiting. In fact, I've run through about three generations of waiting, already. Maybe I'll play a Gardener on Epic and see how long it takes to get these particular opportunities, if I remember.

I have the same problem. A few of my player-made Sims always have the music moodlet, without fail, regardless of whether there is music in the vicinity. I don't know what causes it, perhaps they came across a stereo/music on a community lot and the moodlet got stuck.
It doesn't seem to be harmful, so hopefully this isn't an early symptom of some game-destroying problem (though, from looking at the evolution of past glitches, it probably is).

That what I thought.
It seems like the Moodlet system was create to make inefficient players feel better about their playing ability. My Sims are constantly "very happy", when it's clear to me that they have some motives that are dropping, and they haven't had any wishes fulfilled recently. The mood indicator at work is often not the grinning bright green emoticon at this level, as you said.
I guess there must have been a barrage of complaints that The Sims 2 was too hard, or something. Now it seems extraordinarily simple to keep your Sims content enough to work on skills/friends/collections/whatever nearly nonstop for their entire lives.
Thank God there's an option for shorter lifespans.
