The family and the world were both EA created. It's really strange because I did a fresh install just to be sure and created a new family. After that, I loaded up other worlds to test families and it all seemed to be running smoothly. Then after a couple days of playing I decided to go back to check out the other worlds again and the issue came back.

When I load my current save game, it runs fine, there's no issues moving in new families or anything. I'll also add that I recently upgraded to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

I was using awesomemod for version 1.42, nothing else.

When I start a new world and load a family, the game doesn't allow me to move or anything. It doesn't even zoom in to allow me to see my sims. The water moves and I can see birds fly in the sky but other than that, the game is basically frozen. Is this a bug or something? This doesn't happen when I play an existing saved game.

Thank you. Those flowers were fucking tacky.

After updating to the latest patch and installing Pets, I've noticed that most of my sims feet sink into the floor when sitting down. I have six active sims and only one of them is not experiencing this problem. I thought it might be because of a height slider I was using so I adjusted it so that they were the same height as a regular EA sim but still, the issue persists.



Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any help would be appreciated. I'm currently using the latest awesomemod and a few script mods.

EDIT: Figured it out, it was Jonha's thigh size slider. Once removed the issue was fixed.

Created a family with a pet in the new town and after about 5 minutes of gameplay it CTD. Using the latest awesomemod.

I'm quite aware of that, common knowledge and such. I had originally downloaded the Generations registration gift from here first when it had originally came out but it, too, had the same issue that the one I recently downloaded from the store had. And yes, I when I decrapified it, I did it correctly. If someone posted a properly working version, I hadn't known about it.

When you say "the one from here", which one are you referring to? Last time I checked, it was being shared by various people in various formats. Did anyone disclose if they had properly working version?

Does anyone have a properly updated version of the Generations registration gift? Yesterday I re-downloaded it from the store and it still has the wonky phone with the missing receiver.

Apologies, I meant decrapped, Jeromy.

The spellbook fix doesn't need to be drapped, right?

Is decrapifying only for store content or should it be applied to all .sims3packs? I've been under the impression it was only for store content but if I'm wrong please correct me. Along with that, I would like to know if having decrapified content and crapified content would cause any decrease in performance.

After decrapifying one of my trial save games, the hair I was using on one of my sims disappeared, the hair was not from the store and was installed via a merged package in the mods folder. Does this file have to be decrappified to show back up in the game?

I should also mention that said hair does show up in CAS but when I loaded up the family, the sim with the aforementioned hair had it replaced with something from the base game.

I was using the decrapify.exe where I just had to drag and drop the file, it worked on all the latest store content but I'll try out the other method you touched on. Thanks.

So I have an issue and I'm not quite sure how to go about it. I downloaded the Bayside Full Set (untouched), decrapified it and installed it but none of its content showed in-game. The launcher shows that it installed correctly but that meant nothing. I unpacked the set from .rar again and ran it through S3RC and then decrapified it but the original problem continues to persist. Any advice?

Mind updating this for the recent OLS patch?

I don't think its mod related. Someone had posted screens with an un-modded game and had that same issue.

How does the addlotsize command work exactly? See, I tried typing in "addlotsize 25x30" in the cheat console but it says it's not a recognized command. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The June 27, 7:31:32 am build of AwesomeMod causes mild lag in a otherwise seamless game. When removed it`s smooth. There are no other mods and little CC.

I was loading up a test save with awesomemod and after messing around I removed the save but completely forgot to take out awesomemod. I put back in a fresh save I was using that had never been in contact with awesomemod and saved it while awesomemod was still in the mods folder. Is this save game gonna be messed up? I never used any of the features of the mod if that is of any importance.

Is there a method, if any, for splitting a merged package into 2 smaller ones?

I got a CTD when saving my game in map view, I was playing for about a half hour.

After a couple minutes of play, a party had started and I went into map view then zoomed back down- CTD.

The game now tells you how many tiles you've used when building with walls and floors.

Same thing happened to me. Not that it's a big deal, I've been extracting the packages from the packs and making my own merged files instead.

Yeah, the indoor lighting actually is a lot better!
