Or the one reported by GOSlings where toddlers stretch into this weird ET-like thing while watching TV? o_o

Just out of interest, what IS the point of favourite colour? I know it crops up in conversation, but... is that it?

I haven't had any toddlers get all weird myself, but if that is a problem, yes AND THAT TOO! The favorite color is completely vestigial. It was supposed to give sims mood benefits when they were around it, but I guess they couldn't make the limited selection of favorite colors and the hundreds of colors available in the color wheel work together.
Oh yes, I've banned the tv from the toddlers cause of this.  I can't believe this is all they fixed after all this time.  Especially when there are other crazy bugs, like the turdler-tv thing, that need fixing.

Edited for clarity.

There is a patch out on the official site: http://www.thesims3.com/game/patches

Complete list of changes:

    * Addresses some issues with Speed 2 and 3 moving too slowly. Some machines will have better results when using Speed 2 and 3 now.
    * Fix to story progression on/off selection toggle.
    * Fix for a possible crash with audio code.
    * Fix for babysitter routing off lots with babies.
    * Addresses some issues with Vsync and refresh rate problems.
    * Addresses some issues with DVD authentication errors and drive compatibility on startup.
    * This update deals with some issues on Mac systems that can crash the game while connecting to AFP servers.
    * Fix for a freeze that can occur when Sims attempt to clean out bad food from the fridge.

Has anyone tried using the patch with Awesomemod? I was hoping that they were going to address more issues in this patch. I think I'm going to pass of this right now, as Awesomemod fixes story progression and adds awesome other features as well.
After all this time, this is all they fixed.  Pathetic.  But I guess that's EA for ya.  They seriously should compensate Pescado for fixing their fuckups.

Ok thank you for the quick response Smiley So for sure no one else will age once i put aging on under options only the current household im playing? I dont like my default sims aging hehe
That is the way it supposed to work.  I don't use that feature, so take my advice with a grain of salt.  The best way to see if it is working before you start your main family, is to test drive a couple of premade families for 2 or so sim days.  I believe they age at midnight, so switch families after then.  Just make sure you remember their age before you switch over.  Rinse and repeat.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you would.  Otherwise your the active household wouldn't age.  Also, you need to have the ts2 aging enabled via the config tool.

I had this question posted at the request thread before you made this one.  Was going to tell someone to move it to here, but appearently it got erased or something.  Anyway, my question was for the God's chosen tag.  Do you put that into the individual sims descriptions or just the household description.  Also, do you just type what you put in in the config tool?  For example, I used noprog for the key, so you just type that in the description and that's it.  Or do you have to do something else as well.  Sorry if I sound like a moron, but I wasn't totally sure based off the description in the readme.

The description on the config tool says "Households containing this string in their description are immune to Story Mode. Leave blank to not use this feature."  So it would make sense to be placed in the household description.    That is where I am putting it at any rate.

You shouldn't have to do anything beyond that (beyond setting the code in the aweconfig.package of course).  I believe you could even have other text in there as long as it somewhere says "noprog" or whichever code you chose.  But I don't like to tempt fate so my descriptions only include the tagline I chose.
That's what I thought, but wasn't for sure.  Thanks for the reply.

After starting my game (which loaded perfectly fine, no crashes/problems!) I played for about a minute and a half before my mouse disappeared! Sad
I couldn't see the pointer at all, so I keyboard shortcutted a Quit and voila! My mouse was right there on my desktop.

I doubt it's due to awesomemod, as I experienced the same more than once, with and without mod. It occurred more frequently if I keep the game minimized at some point: when I return, the cursor is gone.
It's not due to the mod.  I've had this happen in other games as well.  Usually restarting the game fixes it.
