Thanks Thraxus, downloaded it.

Buzzler: the mixologists  seem to age even though I have ageing disabled for everyone. Unless my game is bugged?? Thought I'll mention. Thanks and keep up a great work!

Hi Buzzler,

Hope you've been well. Are you going to update your mod for Late Night? It woks but the menu got messed up (at least for me) and sims just don't die of old age; they keep on living! Not sure if ths is related to your mod, or something else is causing it.

thanks and keep up a great work! 

Hey Buzzler,

Thank you for the new version (YAY!!  ). And definitly the cappucino is on me! I'm in Miami though

With regards to "enable / disable household aging" that you have for each lot, I asked to add that to the mirror only for the convenience reasons. Each time I want to disable / enable aging on my household I have to zoom out to map view and do it from there, so it'd be much more convenient to do that from the mirror too. But it's not a big deal. I love your mod as it is!!!!! 

Ok, ok everyone: no donations then. I just was trying to be nice, no harm intended 
Buzzler: I have idea for your version 7: enable/disable aging for ALL sims (NPCs and regular sims) in one click / command. Thank you and keep up a great work! I really love this mod!

Hey Buzzler,

Just noitced your version 6. Thank you!!

I understand now why you added the enable/disable household aging to the house (not mirror) from the first place. It completely makes sense, i did not even think about that (stupid stupid me). For some wierd reason I thought that if you place the mirror in the particular household the enable/disable househol aging would apply to that particular household.

And yes, I was dead serious about donations! I appreciate your work and time and I would gladly donate, as I am sure a lot of others would too!

Hey Buzzler,

Thanks so much for your reply. The things on my "wish list" would be to add command to disable / enable aging for all NPCs (similar to what you have for all residents) and it'd be great if you could add the two options that show up when you click on the house to enable / disable household aging to the mirror. But if you have no plans to work on that mod then don't worry about that. And you should also set up some page for donations! I am sure a lot of people appreciate your work and would gladly send their support.

Thank you.

Hi Buzzler,

I absolultey love your mod, wonderful work! I have quick qustion: When you select "suspend aging for all residents" does it apply to NPCs as well? If not are you pallning to add the option to suspend the aging for all NPCs as well ?

Thanks so much and please keep those updates coming!! 

Thanks Coltraz, appreciate that. I guess I just wanted to do the other way around. I want to play Sims 2 style, with only active family aging. I guess I then will have to go to every single household to disable aging on them. Is there any way to do that without making a household an active household? Thanks again.

Thank you Buzzler for a great mod, however it is not working for me :-( I have the newest patch, I have the aging turned off (in the options of the game). I was trying to enable the aging thru your mod for the current household that I'm playing but nothing :-(  They don't age. Am I missing something?

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

Has anybody ever seen Sims reading recipe books autonomously?? Just curious.. Mine only read "regular books". It'd be cool to see them read something productive once in a while! Lol

Lmind:

One more suggestion: have you tried running the game in administrator's mode? This was my first attempted fix and while it did not completely eliminate the problem it reduced the errors by about 80%. Also it seems that the larger the game gets the more of errors it gets, at least from my experience.  I know how annoying and frustrating this is and I am very surprised how silent EA is about this. I hope they will release a patch soon! Keep us posted if you find the solution!

Hi lmind,

Don't give up; I am sure you'll find solution soon! I can tell you it took me weeks to find a solution to my crash problem; very frustrating and it seems a lot of folks out there have that problem. I hope and trust that EA will fix it with the next patch.

Hey all! Thanks for all the great ideas. It seems that I have finally fixed my crashes. For GOOD! What did the trick for me is setting the "High Detail Lots" to 4. Here is a useful post http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/79541.page  Go figure why this worked, but it just took away ALL my crashes including error 12 and 13. Just played for 15 sim days continously and not even ONE crash!!! YAY!!!! 

Hi all,

Thanks for posting!

@ Tever:  reinstalling now, let's see what'll happen

@ ProfPlumbob: I tried the autosave feature but in my case it seems to make no difference; it crashes randomly (very often!) whether I save manually or thru Awesomemod.

@ ProcessDenied: My world is very small, currently only 35MB. I am running 3.20GHz  i7 extreme edition CPU (overclocked to 3.8Ghz), 2 GeForce 9800 GX2 cards in SLI mode, 8GB Ram, 3 western digital drives in RAID. All with the latest drivers.  I tried disabling SLI (and just about anything else I could think of!) but it seems to make no difference. My system kicks a major butt with all other games with no stability or other issues, only Sims seems to be borked for me :-(

I am putting clean install of Sims now, and will try again with my current saved world, although I have a feeling it probably won't change much...
Thanks.

Hi all,
Sorry if this post is redundant; I have searched the forum but could not seem to find a solution. I am experiencing crash on save almost every time I save the game. It became really unplayable; about 80% of the time it crashes to desktop while saving. I have no custom content other than Awesomemod and all latest patches. I used to get error 12 and 13 at first, now it just crashes to desktop. If anyone has solution or any workaround it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Jolrei. I looked at the FFS hacks, there are TONS of them in there that I really do not need (for the most part I like my game just the way it is). I was just wonder if there is any specific hack / download that takes care of the BV maid issues. Also what do you mean by "directors cut"? Sorry, I am new here and not famialir with all yet :-)

Thank you J.M. Will try it tonight. Can't wait to try your other hacks too!! Awesome work and forum! Please keep up a great work!

Also, by the way since I couldn't find it anywhere, do you have a fix for vacation maids? After installing FT the BV maids became useless. No cleaning, no gardening, they just stand there and do nothing. I've got clean install with all EPs and no downloads at this point. I reinstalled everything twice actually but still same problem. Sorry if this is redundant, but I searched the forum and couldn't find much pertaining to this issue. Thanks again!

Thanks Jsalemi, I'll try that.

Hi Assmitten and Zazazu,

I have no hacks currently, not even any downloads.

I'll try the Food Eats You. Thanks for that! I didn't even know it existed!

I know this has been posted already, but are there currently any hacks / solutions for sims starving?? Since FT my sims won't cook / feed themselves.  I tried different fridges but it doesn't work. Occasionally they get "stuff face" interaction but won't autonomously make any food. Any help out there on this??

Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

Has anyone noticed Sims autonomously do sewing, pottery, flower arranging, etc? Is this possible? Is there a hack that can make Sims do those autonomously?


thanks,
m.
