Well ok, how about putting the files in the "public" Dropbox folder. That way, you wouldn't have to deal with the access/requesting crap.

First off, if you aren't using Dropbox, you should.

Someone could create a shared Dropbox folder and put all the arred TS3 store files into there. Then whoever wants access to the folder could simply request it from the owner. All content in that folder will be automagicaly synced with all members.
It is truly the perfect file distribution method.

^ Again, that's nice.
By the way, there's no such thing as an "inner joke." The term is "in-joke" or "inside joke". Moron.

Whilst looking for the direct link for this, I made the following humorous observation:
Create-A-World = CAW
Create-A-Pattern = CAP
Create-A-Pet = CAP? Nope. That's already been taken.
EAxis labelled the page "http://www.thesims3.com/game/tools/scrap". I suppose scrap is an acronym for Sims 3 Create-A-Pet, otherwise known as Sims 3 CRAP.

No one said that you can't play games on a laptop. It's just generally unwieldy.

What's this safety program called? Can it be uninstalled?

Well, I'll say this.
Laptops were never meant for gaming. Their purpose was to be portable. The so-called "gaming laptops" are the ones that overheat and explode.
O, and did I mention it's like carrying around a box of bricks?

Have you looked at the Alienware gaming laptops?
Sure they're heavier than a box of bricks but gaming performance is like none other.

And if you're a Mac person, MacBooks can run Sims 3 as well.

Why didn't you say you were pregnant before? I would gladly have helped!

Ok. Completely uninstall all Sims 3 content from your computer.
Now, one by one install all Sims 3 games in order of their release. DON'T APPLY ANY CRACKS NOR START THE GAME!
After everything is installed, follow the instructions HERE to install the mod framework.
Download Awesomemod and place it in the "packages" folder of the framework installed above.
Finally, have fun!

@kissing_toast: I do believe Awesomemod comes with the noCD check applied out of the box. But if you only want to play your arr'ed game without awesome features, get Twallan's noCD as mentioned above.

I remember posting this somewhere here but I couldn't find it.
Everything you need to install .Sim3Pack files in one complete, convenient package.
Just remember to check for updates to s3rc.exe

I offer you genuine advice (which is actually against MATY regulations) and you ignore it.
And Narmy is right, you screwed up your registry. Well done.

Amen to that brother. Amen.

Who do you think we are? EA customer support?
In any case, you screwed up your computer. So backup what you need and reformat.

Sarcasm?

Well, with most arr'ed games and apps, there is no modification system that allows you to create a noCD mod. So people automatically assume that to play Sims 3 (and its subsequent expansions), they would need a crack. It's better to keep it a secret. shh...

What's wrong with thigh-high boots?

Not only horses, there will be magical unicorns. Yes, that's right.
Pink, fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows.

Personally, I'd opt for a centaur over a unicorn.

Sims 3 Pets Spoiler Info
and this:
According to that, Pets seems like it's going to be a pretty good EP, much better than the crap which is Generations.
I just hope it won't break too many things along the way. But knowing the EAxian way of game development, my hopes aren't high.

@Cyberdodo: Who's that chick in your pic? She looks Korean.

Is there a cash prize?

By that, do you mean the error where a light only illuminates the floor it is on but not the floor above it even though the ceiling is open?

Also, it seems like they will never fix the excavation bug. AM to the rescue!

Concerning the opportunities, here's some possible causes and solutions:


And also this:

So this issue may affect opportunities with bands as well. If you sim has too many skills, the opportunities will spread out across all those skills, giving less to the band.

Woah, why did I not come across that site before!
Much more organized than MTS, albeit, much less variety. But it looks like quality stuff.

With Generations installed?! On May 29th? I thought it releases May 30th.

Then put a large rock on top of it.
