1  TS3/TSM: The Pudding / Facts & Strategery / Re: Object upgrades - the real list on: 2009 June 08, 17:04:50
In addition to the ten unique upgrades, one of the "extra challenges" is to repair at least ten electronic (also one for plumbing) items. How will you ever get this if everything is unbreakable?

Try this: Go into Edit Town mode and see if the kid is still a part of the household. If he is, grab someone random from the sim bin and move them in and then out again. This should reset the household and the kid should be standing by the mail box, with all opportunities/wishes gone and an empty inventory. It's a pain in ass but it's the only way I've found to retrieve missing sims.

Thank you so much. ♥ I moved the dad and kid out, then back in and he's back in the family. :D Since he was just a toddler, he had no inventory or wishes to lose, so it's really not that bad.

resetsim name name has never worked for me. I told the dad to read to the toddler, so he put the kid in the high chair. Then took him out. Then put him in. Then took him out. So I got fed up and sold the high chair. The kid vanished with it. I have been unable to recover him, despite him still showing in the family picture and the relationships being intact.

Resetsim is not the solution for a deleted Sim, it is the alternative to deleting a Sim.  If a Sim gets stuck in an action or refuses to respond, you use resetSim to essentially recreate the Sim near his home.
Maybe I'm dumb, but from the description, I thought it should fix this. ): Does that mean that there is no solution to deleted Sims? The kid was cute.
I did save as so I could go back to some point, but I'd rather not go that far back. I just want to interject the kid back into the family. Sigh.

I think I had the Reloaded version. I pre-ordered back in November. Y'know, when I thought the game would be out in February. How silly of me.
I picked up my copy a little bit ago (the plumbob shiny is nice, though I haven't checked its contents) and added the second neighboorhood and the European sports car. (Which looks way better than the code given with my pre-order... I didn't try that one. It says it should be redeemed by April 15, 2009.)
In this second 'hood, there are lots of names I don't recognize. There are the Brokes. I assume they're Brandi's husband's family, but I'm not really clear. It's very annoying how they just give you the picture and the family story and the funds and difficulty and house details. I liked being able to see every single member of a house and their aspiration so I knew a little about them before deciding to play. Don Lothario is indeed here, via a teleporter. How convenient. The Newbie family is also here. I didn't play them. It's a couple and a child, who might be Bob. The households are in the bin as for the other neighborhood. Overall, I'd say the second neighborhood is a complete waste.

I had no troubles installing or anything. I uninstalled the arr'd version. When I said I wanted to, it launched the game. I closed it. It launched again immediately, then told me it couldn't run because the setup wasn't complete or some nonsense. It closed and finished uninstalling. It also asked if I was sure and something about deleting my saved games. I agreed. When I got the game up and running (the official one, with no computer restarts) I still had all my saved games. They were exactly the same.

I'm playing on epic lifespans, so he hasn't aged from toddler yet. (Someone else said they lost a toddler, but theirs was kidnapped. Seems like being a toddler is dangerous.)
Shazaam (and shazzam and shazam) still don't work. I didn't bother trying any force opportunity cheats or anything. I don't expect them to work.

Xfire displays that I'm playing Sims 3 with the official version. It did not show the pirate version. I thought that was interesting.
