Just one more vote for the Error code 4 with 2.2. All is working fine with v2.1, but 2.2 isn't finding wget in the Windows folder.

Btw, I can't thank you enough for this awesome piece of coding.

That may be an unrelated issue. Try temporarily removing or disabling all your mods and custom content and seeing if it will load. If not then try a new game (again without custom content and mods).

If you get the game to load in those instances it's likely some old mod or downloaded content causing the issue.

In theory, you shouldn't explicitly need old episodes patched as long as the base game and most recent episode are.

According to the official site the launcher will always patch only the base game and the most recent EP or SP. This makes me wonder whether manually patching the other expansions nevertheless is actually a good or necessary thing.
I am asking myself this also because upgrading to Ambitions has borked more things in WA than just the excavation sites when on vacation as I have now been lucky to discover after playing France last night (see the What's borked thread). But as I am on a Mac I cannot update manually anyway at the moment as I haven't found a manual download on simsprograms yet. (Are there other sites, btw?)

This kinda makes me wish I made things in sims3pack format.

Make a Tails Doll doll...sneak it into your stuff...watch as it spreads like wildfire throughout the community, infecting game after game exponentially, and people start to worry about where this bloody little fox doll in their game came from.

Do I really have to hold your hand on how to bodysnatch?

Wait, what? Simbots PEE?

See, I found (and unlocked for use) a caveman hair, but then I started wondering...where the heck you'd even get said hair? Like, do you go back in the past and pop out revealing your sim lived for a time as a caveman, and then he can style his hair that way? Or what?

From what you're saying, if I have a kid in the past, and he comes out as a young adult, he'll have caveman hair?

Which just...makes...no sense at all, but whatever.

I'm pretty sure that headgear is from the time machine. There's a chance your sim will come back with special new clothes or accessories.

Noting your observations. I haven't notice any problems placing stuff on lowest level, and my sims seem to go to work ok - besides some that have lots with accessibility problems which I am researching. The lot prices are experimental, the idea is to have really cheap lots for newcomers, but I will adjust these for the next version (which will be released after some extensive testing and adjustments).

How do you get the sims naked?

Anyone try burning down an entire street yet?Hope we can get a "Start fire here" menu like we have with the Insim for Sims 2,lol. Ok, lets start a fire across the street,then onto the next house, and so forth............Sims Wildfire!

Apparently there is male pregnancy, but it can be had through traditional means. Why? Because men can totally reproduce with each other and ghosts, but the thought of an alien sticking a probe up your ass is totally beyond the conceivable.

They do have interests tied to many traits. However, not sharing the same interest doesn't have as much of an effect. There are so few ways to piss off a sim anymore. Flirt with the unflirty or poke them. That's about it.

Photo albums...I don't miss the superfluous thumbnails, but I hate that we can't change the default photo size. I'm not sharing anything over 500 pics wide, so I have to resize every frakking image.

I really miss the pianos, if only because the sound in TS3 is so well done that I'd love to hear piano music. I played piano for 10 years. My grand aunt was a concert pianist in Germany. I grew up with that. My personal opinion is that they included the guitar instead because of the success of Guitar Hero.

The ‘official' Casanova does not even look like he could swoon the pants off a dead guy, let alone a living one. You would think that an ‘official' TS3 product would have better looking sims.

Though after reviewing their purchasable hairstyles I think I should reconsider where I am placing my confidence.

My first sim had a fairly high mechanical rating and was upgrading a stove... while standing in a puddle from a leaky faucet.  He got electrocuted and died 4 times in a row.  But the grim reaper kept letting him not die.  I dunno if that was because he was my only sim in the household or if it was because I had planted a death flower... or most likely just good luck.  (Or maybe it was because he had the unlucky trait... as the message kept saying something about how the grim reaper would let me live because my sim f*ing up was humorous to him.  Don't remember the exact message).  After the 4th attempt and immediate death I realized that standing knee deep in water probably wasn't a good time to stick my metal screwdriver into the nearest socket.

Anyway, I think you CAN kill off sims with high handiness through electrocution if you have them repair/upgrade electrical items while standing on a puddle.

So the ghost child color is directly linked to the color of the ghost parent? Some of the faces sims pull make me giggle. That cross-eyed sim guy is hilarious.
