You may or may not need the updated version of this in the OP. Probably not, but I repackaged it and uploaded it anyway. The tuning hasn't changed, but it's possible generations has issues with older package files saved with earlier versions of S3PE.

I know you probably set the Lifefruit value to 1000 in the allbuyable mod as way to balance them being buyable, but that also changes the base sell and reward price. Meaning high quality harvested lifefruits will sell for several thousand each, and opportunities that require lifefruits like the simbot one will reward hundreds of thousands of simoleans. Same for anything else you changed the value of. Easy enough to tweak myself, but just thought I'd give you a heads up in case you (or anyone who installs it) ever decide to garden or build a simbot in your game.

It doesn't need to be updated, and probably never will. The XML it modifies is very specific and deals with game mechanics that will probably never be changed by a patch or expansion.

BaXiM's EGC mod has that I think, or does that not redress them after? I never tried that option. I think he's also working on a way to make it so sims only drop their pants when using the toilet, instead of going totally nude.

Of course it's a core mod and doesn't work with awesome, so I guess it's moot.

Oh and thanks for the decensor, this is the mod I usually wait for before installing a new EP/SP. I can play without the other crap for a while, but the big censor mosaics just irritate me too much. 4th wall and all that I guess.

The fact that you got the game to run at all means you successfully installed it and the crack. The game doesn't secretly connect to EA while you are playing and check your install for legitimacy.

BSOD usually means it's a PC/OS issue, not a game issue. Best I can give you with the information provided is the typical support response of "Update your drivers and try again."

I can download 250GBs in 34 hours total.

If it was a routing problem then everyone would be having the issue. I've never once had the game freeze like is mentioned here in my hundreds of hours of play. I don't see how one sim getting stuck would cause the whole game to freeze either. The amount of processing the game devotes to a single sim's pathfinding is ridiculously minor (it's often moving hundreds of sims around at once). If one sim got stuck on a ledge or something it's much more likely that sim would simply stand there in it's own loop while the game moved on without them until the system reset them or they died. I mean I've seen this happen before when a sim tries to route to something inaccessible, eventually their motives change and they pick something else to route to, I don't see there being a difference in the process when the obstacle is terrain instead of a fence or wall.

To debunk a few other possible causes of the issue, I play off a normal SATA 7200rpm HDD (500gb with less then 2gb free), I play on both EA and custom worlds, I have both EPs and the SP and all store content (except the soccer jerseys because they spammed the hell out of my clothing section), and my PC isn't that great (Vista, AMD Athlon 7750 2x 2.71ghz, 4gb RAM, GeForce 9500 GT 1gb).

Hope that helps you narrow down possible causes. Only thing I can think of (other than bad custom content) would be compatibility issues, maybe an ATI problem, or an issue with specific drivers.

Good to know. I remembered there was a locomotion setting in that the last time I used it, like to make a normal sim walk like a ghost or mummy, but I figured if resetsim wasn't working to fix the issue than neither would that. That should make things a lot easier for people already struck by the bug.

I was starting to get tired of the tag bug (had a sim sprint across a lot holding a baby) so I made this real quick. It simply disables both autonomous and manually directed tag. To fix the sims already effected with the bug you need to evict them and then move them back in.

It's not so much "queue dropping" as it is that you need to have the sim selected for it to work. The moment you unselect the sim it cancels, instantly, and 100% of the time from what I could tell. You don't need to have the camera on them though, just select them and click the button and then watch your house or whatever, 95% of the time they will complete it, the other 5% it might drop because their route was blocked by another sim or something. It's just the steps that require you to talk to other sims that work like that. They can do the other stuff on their own.

I think it has to do with playing tag. I just had two sims play tag and both of them are on perma run now. TBH I like it.

Well if it fits in your pocket....

You need to get the latest version of the registered items hack.

Ya ya, I apologize for my brain fart, we don't need everyone in the thread pointing that out.


Well they probably "die" when they age too much. Before that they just break and stop working and then a sim can repair and or reprogram them.

I actually just deleted all my custom hair styles. I've stopped using them, might as well speed up load times.

Just get a mini-image and mount it with DAEMON/PowerISO. Works flawlessly.

Dunno why I didn't see that. EA did say somewhere that you could get futuristic body mods by using the time machine though, that's what I assumed it was.


They pee, and it's censored. Can also give them the Steel Bladder trait IIRC. Totally ridiculous.

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.

They rust as they get older, so it sort of makes sense. When you first make them they are clean, the pic in this thread is an older one with rust spots all over it. I don't know how bad it gets because I play with aging off, I assume before they "die" they are completely covered in rust.

The fact that they have to go to the bathroom and sleep in beds really pissed me off, so I got rid of them. It's like EA didn't feel like adding any new programming to make them actually function differently. It's just a sim wearing a robot suit.

I'm pretty sure "smash" is just their version of "detonate." All simbots start with like 4 or 5 points in inventing, they smash things for scrap. They eat scrap, so that's why they need it right away.

I only had one sim do that, and it was in base game, he had the clumsy trait so I assumed it was that (as in it's not a good idea to run around in a house and he would probably run into things). If that's not it then I'm pretty sure it's a hidden attribute. After playing a lot I noticed some sims behave differently even on levels not linked to traits. For example some sims without the Neat trait will still be obsessive about cleaning and washing while others will never ever clean up even without the Slob trait. The running most be something like that, though more rare.

The smash is for the crib in that pic. Holding a baby and clicking on a crib.

There's a trait that makes sims run everywhere, I think it's clumsy.

Well IIRC the way it works is a ghost spawns with the same motives it had when it died, every time. Purple ghosts starved to death so they spawn starving. Yellow ghosts died of electrocution, and when a sim is electrocuted all their motives plummet right(?), so there's a good chance they will spawn hungry as well.

It's definitely a flaw, but I don't think it's a bug, and it's been like that since the base game.

I installed the Sims3Pack through the launcher after decrapifying it, same as Crysill. I'm installing the updated mod now, I'll see if that works.

The social "dance with" only raises the social motive for the sim who initiates it. I don't remember if that was an old bug or not.


Purple ghosts always go straight for the fridge, same with base game if you were haunted by one. They died of starvation, so it makes sense that as a ghost they head straight for food. I have noticed most of the ghosts were purple or white, so maybe that itself is the bug. I only ever saw a single yellow ghost as a ghost hunter, and zero blue, red or gray ghosts. I got bored of the profession around rank 6 though, so maybe you see different ghosts at higher ranks.
