http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=535559&c=1&ht=&page=1&pp=25#startcomment user MasterDinadan has a beta out to hopefully solve part of this problem.

I think sometimes the game thinks there's someone on your lot when there isn't? I've tried to invite people over only to be told they're on my lot, when they're nowhere to be found. Try going to the slowest speed for like, a ten count, then to the fastest a few times, that might help? It also just might be coincidence though.

I haven't seen anything yet. I think skidrow says a patch download is coming soon or something?

I admit I tend to go overboard on contacts. I rarely see them in game, but the customization part of the game is something I really enjoy. So I can see why some people like those things. However, I agree that, especially at this point, most of the make up being released (especially lipsticks!) are identical. I was actually just reflecting on that while looking at some CC earlier. At this point in the game, I feel like I have about as much variation make up wise as I'm going to get, and am more interested in mods that actually affect gameplay.

Also, am I the only one who can't tell what the heck some sliders are changing in some of the pictures? Like, all those lip and nose ones people keep making. I can barely, if ever, tell the difference it seems.

I forgot to put a roof on my house somehow. I noticed the first day I played, when it was snowing from the Hunter's Storm or whatever it's called. So I went, and put a roof on. It's about..  a week later? And normal summer. There's no snow on the floor or anything, but the snowing graphic is still showing up indoors. Not annoying enough to rebuild the house or nuke the save, but a bit amusing.

I think you can disable the clothing filter, or just enter CAS from in game while they're naked. There's also naked clothing on sexysims2.

I just built a new computer, and it loads pretty quick nowadays, so I don't worry about that too much. And yeah, I made all the TSM ones default for awhile, and I found I liked the kids better and better, they look pretty cute with the blush.

I don't use the custom launcher, so I'm unsure as to why the package would crash it.

Feel free to open them up and play around with them. I don't think I played around with the color or anything of them, just resized them to fit the way TS3 maps faces, and changed the eyes because they were waaay too red.

Also, it seems I did use the version of the face with more freckles, even though I could have sworn I didn't. Once again, anyone is welcome to play with the skins and airbrush them out if they want.

I'm going to try some older versions, in case that's why people aren't having problems. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything wrong, since I've been using the program since it first came out, and never had the problem before. It is possible that it isn't Windows seven causing it, since I also have a new computer now, but I'm not sure what I have on it now that would interfere with it. The thing is, it doesn't unhang, so maybe it isn't windows 7. I'll try older versions and see how they work. *shrug*

Yeah. It said that it hangs on windows 7 on the download page, so I figured that was what was doing it.

I didn't have the time to do it all the other night, and I have trouble with the skininator because I have windows 7, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to finish it. You can always either use other defaults for your kids/elders, or if you're using the non-default skin, you would have your defaults show up for those ages. So it's not like there's no way to mix and match different ages/genders in this game. I figured some people at least might like them for their teens-adults, and posted them because, as I said, I'm not sure when I'll be able to finish it.

I converted some of the skins from the sims medieval to the sims 3. Teen through adult, male and female. The male skin shows a green tinge for darker tones in CAS that doesn't seem to be there in game.

They look a bit like they have scarlet fever, but they're not too bad. I didn't do the babies because they have the same skin as the TS3 ones, and there are no elder skins to convert.

I'm not sure, but I don't think it's possible to make skins in a sims3pack. If your packages are screwing up your game, you probably just have an out of date mod in there somewhere.

As a note, I've been using a copy of this save to play for awhile, without AM, and have had no problems. Not a guarantee that no one will, but just in case anyone without AM is curious about user experiences.

Several skins there, including some defaults I made non-default.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. As well as downloading my sims3pack files I had mad into packages. Ugh, I hate those, so unorganized..

Between that and using the process monitor, I figured out what was borking my game finally. It actually loads now! Thanks for all the help guys. It gets so frustrating sometimes, trying to figure out what's causing the game to bug this time. I just get unlucky with it, I think.

Thanks so much! I think I finally figured out my problem. Has to do with TSR sims3packs I made into package files, it looks like. Gonna try another update to 1.7, and see if that fixes it.

Nope. Still can't figure out why my game won't load. I've been trying to figure out what CC it is, but I'm having trouble with it.

I can get it to load, but not with any CC except a no CC crack. Same now with 1.4. I've reinstalled more times than I care to think of. I figure I must be doing something wrong. I think I'm gonna give up for now, and try again when I'm less likely to make stupid mistakes from frustration.

I expect to get flamed. However, I did try to use the search. I believe that, somewhere, it was said that the 1.4 version of awesome mod is gone. However, I thought perhaps someone here would have a copy? I can't get any CC to load when I patch my game (it freezes on the load save/new town screen, if it even gets that far), so I figured "Well, screw this, I'm going back to 1.4!". Of course, stupid me, I didn't keep a back-up of awesome mod anywhere. So. Can anyone perhaps help me out?

testingcheatsenabled true, then shift click the sim, I believe.

I would, personally, love that. Much more realistic.
