I donated what I could afford to at the moment, which isn't a lot, but hopefully it helps some.

So it's AM that's causing the sims to use jet skis on roads? I thought that was an EA bug.

I didn't have the sound bug at first, but now I do. There's like a static pop sound then no sound for a few seconds until it pops again and the sound comes back. It's happening every few seconds now. I haven't noticed anyone reporting the sound issue outside this site, so I'm guessing it's an AM issue?

I played for a bit last night and I didn't run into the sound issue. I did, however notice a sim riding down the street in a jetski. Other than that, I haven't noticed any issues.

I haven't played yet (I'm waiting for AM to update before I patch or install IP) but I did read that you have to snorkel to build diving skill. I also read that one of the rabbit holes (Science building, I think) is supposed to offer diving classes.

The download thread is locked. All downloads are posted to this thread, then moved to the other thread by a moderator. It actually says that right in the other thread's title if you'd read it.

I think you forgot the link for Supernatural.

I've managed to load the dorms just fine. The household I've been playing is living in the dorm near the science lot. I think next time I'll choose a house, though. My sims end up spending all their free time cleaning up after all the roommates and fixing broken appliances. I use AM, Master Controller, ErrorTrap and Overwatch.

I was able to propose going steady with a sim I was playing and one of the roommates that moved into the dorm. It took a few days and a bunch of conversations, making out, etc. after they were romantic interests, but it eventually showed up.

I play with Story Progression turned off, so I guess that explains why I wasn't seeing any issues.

I have University Life installed and was able to play for several hours with AM and I had no crashes or any other issues. So AwesomeMod does seem to work fine with UL installed.

I have the move crash as well. I tried to move a sim out using the computer, and it crashed.

Does anyone happen to know if there's a mod yet that completely stops all sims from spontaneously combusting? And while I'm at it, I'm also looking for a mod that can stop the weather stone from being placed. I don't want it in all my neighborhoods, plus the stupid map tag never disappears.

Does the Store patch still work on Decrapped items? I've never bothered with the other Store patch because it wasn't anything I really needed, but I do want this patch.

The Seasons patch is out already. It looks like it fixes a lot of bugs, surprisingly. Patch notes and download links here: http://simsvip.com/2012/10/29/sims-3-game-update-1-42-102912/

Same here.

I do have all my cc hair merged into like 6 packages. I usually don't go above 250mb in any combined packages. Of all those hair files, I've only come across 2 custom hair files that would not combine without getting errors. Both were by HystericalParoxysm at MTS. I know one is the totally bald hairstyle and the other I don't remember since I don't have it anymore but it was definitely one of her early men's hairstyles.

I'm going to go ahead and try merging most of the mods I have. I have backups anyway, so if it doesn't work, I can always go ahead and put them back as they were. I'll probably just leave Twallan's mods out of the merged package, though. I have Master Controller along with the cheats and the tattoo expansion files and Overwatch.

I didn't know it was ok to merge mods together. I merge all my other cc, but I for some reason always thought it would be a bad thing to merge any mods. Are there any I shouldn't combine? I mostly have smaller mods that do things like disable sounds or certain animations as well as no mosaic and a few of Twallan's mods.

Is there any chance you could fix the square window that came with Lucky Palms? I haven't personally checked it out yet since I just installed the world last night, but apparently it can't be recolored and the wall cutouts appear to be messed up as well.

I saw a thread about the greenish tint to the skintones. Supposedly, if you have your settings on high, the skintones will look normal again. I haven't seen that in my game, which is at 1.31, but all my settings are on high, so that may be correct.

What about default replacement skintones? From what I've seen posted at MTS and on the official forums, a lot of people are claiming that the patch somehow changed the skintone ramps and that default replacement skintones no longer work because of this.

So the incremental patch won't screw with the skintones, right? I was holding off on patching to 1.32 since I had just updated to 1.31 and installed SHT a day earlier and didn't feel like putting back the original copies of the neighborhoods (I have all the fixed ones from MTS) and backing up everything and removing my mods again so soon. I'm glad I waited though, since I use a lot of custom skintones and would be pretty pissed if they didn't work anymore.

I'm working on making over a world I downloaded so I'm changing some sims' traits. I've been using addtrait and droptrait to change them, but I've noticed one trait that this doesn't work on, which is Star Quality. It acts like there's no trait by that name so I can't remove it from sims that have it or add it to anyone.

The last time I was having a lot of issues with the Launcher I still had XP with only 3GB of RAM, so it could have been a RAM issue. Now I have Windows 7 with 8GB of RAM, so it's very possible that I won't have any problems this time. It was just a case of me getting used to using the merged packages for store content and not having any real reason to switch back, even after upgrading my computer.
