It's people like you that make things like Miley Cyrus possible.

Since you are not aware, there is this thing called the BBS for mindless sheeple that kiss the EAxis ass.

That said, nice find. I'm crossing my fingers for weather soon. It would be nice if they would put it in the World Adventures in whatever they're calling it, but if they did you know they would be shelling it as one of the first features mentioned, but alas...

Sorry for the late reply, my internet has been crappy as hell out here in the boonies. But yeah, that worked. Thank you.

I have this Young Adult Sim I've been playing for a while. Everything went fine until she threw a birthday party to age into an Adult. Now, whenever she fulfills the requirements to achieve a Wish (or Want, whatever), it doesn't fulfill. She doesn't get the points for it and it doesn't leave the slot. Nothing happens, no matter what I do, for any wish.

I started a new neighborhood and this only happens to that one Sim. I tried reinstalling Awesomemod and resetSim and no dice. I'm not sure if this is an Awesomemod problem or a game bug. Does anyone have any clue? This is my favorite Sim and I don't want to have to cheat to play the game normally

No. You know which Rabbit Hole system I want? The system where we had no Rabbit Holes.

Fuck you, EA.

I've heard of this glitch a lot before. I even found a (hilariously creepy) video documenting it on YouTube. It's just related to the pregnancy/holding an infant. I wouldn't really worry about it. But, as mentioned before, the only known way to fix it is resetsim.

*Googles it*


From a list of TS3 bugs & glitches. But no solution is given.

So, report back if you manage to fix it.

  I thought that, too. My mind filled with the school building suddenly sprouting the flaming eye dude on the top. Pop culture, it has brainwashed us.

Hmmm. Though, that would be awesome... *shifty eyes at Awesomemod request thread*

Wait a sec. What is up with the "Singed" moodlet? It makes you burn faster? Is that supposed to make sense? Is it even trying to make sense?

I guess that's, like, the Family-Friendly Way of saying "doused with gasoline".

Oh lawd. What have I done?


Thanks for satisfying my curiosity, though

Jesus christ, USE THE SEARCH BUTTON. I am so tired of this question. In every other thread someone asks this. How is it possible you have not seen any of them?? LURK MOAR.

FFS EA, how fucking hard is it to go to babynames.com and copy/paste? Jesus (or Jeuss) Christ on a motorcycle. They've done horrid names for two games in a row now, and nobody knows why. Maybe not even EA.

That said, as bad as names in TS3 are, I still think they're at least a minute improvement from all those Goopys and Dagmars and Sims named after the producers (Langeraks and crap). But, yes, an improved name list would be appreciated. I think I may be using yours in TS2 still, jordi.

Maybe Workaholic as another trait? Or Friendly, to push them to interact with the larvae, thus perhaps resulting in some accidental getting-stuff-done?

FI, there is a list of traits that conflict on this site somewhere. Searching should find it. Off the top of my head, though, I don't think any traits conflict with those.

Many thanks Motoki. I know it was probably pretty simple, but alas, I am epic fail at the design tool. Everything ends up coming out with black and green polka dots and three heads.

Meh. The debate is still raging as to when exactly you need to eat the fruit. See posts about 5 above mine. But you're right, I should have added the number you need to eat. I bet that's where Mazza went wrong.

EEEEEWWWW, why must people insist on bringing that up!?! He plays the helpful grandpa in all the movies, god damn it. I want to pretend his personal life doesn't exist.

Also: I'm wondering if anyone has played TS3 long enough with aging off to have great-great-grandchildren etc. Is there a point where they stop recognizing their great-great-great grandpa as family? It always squicked me out so bad in TS2 when, at a certain point in the line, a Sim could roll up Wants to bone their great-great-great grandma. *shudders*

EDIT: Apologies for repeating myself, but I didn't know how else to word it.

Holy crap, those are amazing. It looks much better than anything I could attempt. Would you happen to be willing to upload them somewhere, pretty pretty please?

Do your Sims eat pancakes? Make sure they NEVER buy apples, they never have apples in their inventory, anything. Apples can sneak into a lot of recipes and cause boys. Also, for the watermelons to work, you have to eat it in the FIRST trimester of pregnancy. If you do it right after they change into maternity and start rubbing their tummy, then it should work. Something is definitely wrong, either way. The gender ratio should be about 50/50. After 17 generations, SOMETHING is wrong for you to not have had a single girl. Your Sims are sneaking apples when you're not looking. Watch your pregnant Sims like a hawk and turn off autonomy if you have to.

Also, sticking pineapples up your twat is what all the cool kids are up to. Trust me on this.

It gets fulfilled when that plant bears fruit after that wish is rolled. It doesn't matter if it's grown fruit before; it needs to grow the fruit again. Just be patient.

Nah. Not at all. In my family, we call that "Thanksgiving".

I think EPs have a lot to do with it. Not to say that the game doesn't generally suck, but we're so used to our fancy schmancy businesses and downtowns and vampires. So many more objects, too, keep it interesting and fresh. Wasn't the base game boring as hell after a couple months? Admit it. So I'm not uninstalling TS3 just yet.. We'll see if rumors of a new EP this year are true, and then I'll see if it spices the game up a bit.

I'll probably switch over completely to TS3 in a couple years. Meh.

A few weeks ago, I arred all the TS2 SPs/EPs (because I lost most of my discs) and have been having oodles more fun spreading Don's seed everywhere thanks to my spankin' new Megahood, than I ever did while drudging through the clusterfuck of stress and forgotten promises that is The Sims 3. I tried and tried for weeks, but it got to the point where I didn't feel like I was playing a game anymore. It felt like a job. A job that didn't even pay.

Truth be told, TS3 somehow managed to ruin the whole series for me a bit, but I still enjoy TS2 over 3. Haven't touched it in over a week.

Though, I got a really snazzy new computer just to play TS3, and now going back to TS2, the quality is much better and the loading times are much shorter, which improves the enjoyment, somewhat ironically. Though there are some things I liked in TS3, there just wasn't enough to keep me in it...

Do teens show up? Coz that would explain a lot.

Holy shiz. Extremely useful. Thank you.

*puts paper in printer*

What the eff EA!?

Wasn't this fixed in a patch for TS2 though? Damn, looks like they'll be issuing about five patches before the next EP at this rate.

Edit: Found the creepiest/funniest glitch ever in clicking on the related videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdPSwhTmpT0&NR=1

Sorry, but that made me lawl.

Oh, gee. Insane Sims wear their panties to the bookstore. LOL THIS IS GUD GAMEPLAY!!!!!111

I don't see how the Bisexual Circus thing is a negative. Maybe I'm just a deviant, but everyone being bisexual sounds... cool.

HOLYSHIZWHIZZ!!!!

The Prima Guide was actually right about something! The Apocalypse, it is nigh. 

And I quote: (because it was gifted; no, I didn't spend my own money on it)

As this skill is developed, it shortens the time it takes to develop other skills, with the exception of Athletic and Charisma. [Can anyone confirm these two skills?] Teen and child Sims also get a homework speed boost as this skill is developed... This skill also increases the chance of winning all varieties of games.
