Reminds me of TS2. Awesome

I made one; see here for a description.

So then use the Launcher strictly for Store items; keep custom content as merged packages. Any custom content that cannot be extracted into package and added to your overrides is probably shitty quality/shittily created anyway.

It's not impossible. I just did exactly that about a week ago; game runs probably 10 times faster/smoother using this method. Launcher isn't as unstable as it used to be. Also, I have my own CASP fixes, not to mention stencil removers and unlocked mailboxes. Everything works fine.

Don't be lazy, just try it. Also, as for un-installing, you can do so in S3PE as well. I just fixed a bunch of corrupted patterns that made my Misc section empty.

The fix in this thread doesn't work for me either, but with the Tablet. I did the same as you: deleted my original .package, re-downloaded a Sims3Pack, extracted again, decrapped the package, added it to Mods/Packages, then re-downloaded the fixes in this thread and my Sim still can't listen to a Tabcast, but the other features work.

Apparently, all taken care of.

Both of those codes work fine. I've applied them 2 separate times and they worked both times.

Oh and if some were looking for some other code that supposedly unlocked 10 additional outfits, there was a PR fuck up and those people who paid for the Collector's Edition didn't get their extra goodies.

If you want to finish all quests/give yourself more QP, type "setQP #" and you'll be able to keep questing. Debug tools need to be enabled for that to work. Also, I just tried the cheat, "RerollQuests" which works so it looks like you can keep questing indefinitely. You'll also never be able to unlock other ambitions this way, but you can keep your kingdom.

I made a post about it here; it may help: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,18402.msg529218.html#msg529218

Happy now?

*tumble weeds*

That Men's style is supposed to be "bedhead", right? Am I right in assuming that?

I played for a bit without Mods until my game was stable enough to save (I forgot about changing my EXE in DEP so I had about 10 crashes); once it was stable and I setup DEP, everything is fine now. I've never had a problem with sleep Z's before so I'm attributing that to LN. I don't have any Skill mods or Need mods so, although I know something I have can still affect it, I can't help but think this new expansion is to blame. This isn't really complaining; more just facts and observations.

I'm playing one of the pre-made Sims. A vampire doctor named Elvira.

- My Sims sleep Z's are not Z's...they are a custom painting I just recently created and added to my game. But it's not just the picture of the painting, it is the entire DDS photo (picture, frame, back of the image).

- I didn't read much about Vampires before installing this EP: are their Needs supposed to continuously and erratically change every few seconds? I can't have my Sim sleep because by the time she gets to bed, her bar is filled again, but then her Thirst is low. If I drag it up manually, it will just drop again. I don't know what will happen if I try Shift-Clicking on the mailbox to Make Needs Static so I didn't try.

- I have Twallan's mod that notifies me of other Sims' skilling in my town. I'm getting from 30-72 messages about random Sims' Mixology skill reaching level 7 and 8, when I haven't even played the game for more than a Sim day; also that so-and-so didn't go to work for whatever reason. I clicked on the message icon so the camera zooms and shows me this other Sim and they appear to be standing in their apartment building, doing nothing.

This is the first Sims torrent I actually had to wait around for. The rest were already seeding at at least 100-200 by the time I got to it. I can admit to being unnaturally excited for this expansion. I'm pretty impressed with it, thus far.

Same. I'm spoiled by private communities. Those torrents are absolutely crawling.

I got an error after trying to install http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/sims/sims3/patches/Sims3_1.17.60.009002_from_1.15.34.008002.exe:

Is it because I'm using Windows 7? Never seen this before.

Never mind. Patches are not patched in order.

Those icons appear to be clickable, as if someone who wanted to see all new items, would be able to see them all on one page. Of course, they don't work.

I have this same problem. Even after making significant changes on a regular basis to a particular Sunset Valley lot, said lot will sometimes still preview the original home that was in place of my new one. My Sim' garden has grown a lot from when it first started. I've added landscaping and changed the roof. But every once in a while, when I go to the map, I can see the old house with parts of the new house as well (mainly just the low detail coloring of the terrain paints I've used). I've tried clearing out the Sunset Valley cache files but I still run into this problem often.

I was really looking forward to this but it immediately crashed my game when I entered my household.

Can this file be uploaded somewhere else? All the rest of them are fine and I've tried downloading for more than 24 hours and it's still giving me the same error. I even saved it to my own Mediafire folder and I get the same Unavailable error.

I just patched my game manually. I don't know why but the HELS patch refused to install. The other 3 worked fine. I just put all my back ups back into my game (Downloads, Mods/Packages...etc.) and added the test AM. Everything is fine. I read on the official forums that the game doesn't check for in-between patches, only the earliest and latest installs.

Has anyone else experienced this? I still have Fast Lane to install; I just wanted to see if I could get into the game without it throwing errors for a missing patch. As for HELS, I've already tried replacing the original EXE and TSLHost.dll, also trading the entire Game/Bin folder from my original torrent (renaming files where needed). It didn't work for me.

Routing has greatly improved. My family of 4 can actually sit and eat together instead of one of them finishing their meal while all the rest are still tapping their foot and waiting for him to get out of the way, even though he grabbed his plate ages ago.
