OMG I still can't get the booty to load. I just get an error message saying "This site has temporarily exceeded its connection limit. Please try again in a few minutes." I have been trying for days this is the uRL that I am using, http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/ Please tell me it hasn't gone for good. I will just lay down and die....

My point exactly, EA kept telling me it was my ATI card that was causing the problem even though I had pointed out to them that people with other cards were having the same error. They are so full of sh*t. they need to own up to their mistake and fix it.

i also got the same reply from EA I'm guessing they just don't want to own up to their stupidity and their inept programing skills. They tried to say that my AMD 4850 was not a supported card and that it was too fast for this game (absolute B**l Sh*t) I ended up bulldozing all of the offending lots. I replaced them with downloads from MTS I replaced the Art Gallery with "Wrensday Art Gallery by calisims"  the Goth House with "The Sims 2 To The Sims 3 Series-The Goth Mansion by Hraklis943" and the Lone Wolfe with a nice house called"Felicity by romagi". That was several Sims weeks ago and so far I haven't had any more ridler tiles show up (touch wood). I am  so ticked off with EA they have totally ripped us off with Sims 3. I have even contemplated going back to playing Sims 2 again. It really pisses my off when EA blames the user for their errors, especially when I went out and brought a high end gaming computer so that I could play their game. Shame on you EA.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, I have had this problem too.  I contacted EA and sent them my DxDiag report and they came back saying that my graphic card the is unsupported. They are so much help (not) here is some of the the report I would like to know if all of the people that have this issue has the same card. I do see that clampdairyola has the same card. Personally I think EA is full of s--t but that's just my opinion. I am about ready to go back to Sims 2
