I made this:

I submitted it to MTS for upload and it was rejected, apparently it wasn't appealing enough or something, bland I believe their words were.
The next day I was browsing and saw a recent upload of a house, it was on a 2x2 lot and it looked like a glorified cardboard box, 0 imagination or thinking effort put into it.

One of the main appeals of the Sims 3, in comparison to its predecessors, is the ability for the entire community to age collectively. Except, not so much. I don't know if the good ol' "testingcheatsenabled" cheat tripped up my game, but nobody in my town ages. I have confirmed numerous times that aging is indeed turned on. I have reset my Sims and moved them in and out of different houses. I have messed around with different lifespans. Nothing works. My Sims' aging bars are stagnant. I can only manually usher them into the next life phase through cheats.

I recognize that Twallan's Story Progression Mod will take care of the aging problem, but I'm hesitant to download it. My game has crashed in the past, and I hate to screw around with it by introducing foreign mods. I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to address this aging issue without having to resort to downloads.  

STUPID QUESTION ALERT!!!!!!!

Will the high fps kill a 660m?

Yo, dipshit, the test version isn't made widely publicly available for a reason.

Thanks, that would be great!

why won't it work?

There's a clue in what you've written right there.

Linky for the lazy, then.

Looks like I have a bad file:
"Applying DFC Update for 'Game\Bin\TS3W.exe'
Error: err0031 - Invalid file found"

My game is original but patch won't install. Any ideas how could I get a backup file?

I'm really glad, too, especially since it took me days to find out what caused the problem.
However, it wasn't the bed but its placement that caused problems. The bed itself wasn't even downloaded. I've tried with different beds though and the same thing happened, so it was definitely the placement. I placed it under the roof slope, where you normally can't place anything because the sims wouldn't be able to use/reach it then. I used moveobjects though, since I use Inge's hack which allows sims to sleep in inaccessible beds. It was neither the bed nor the hack itself that caused the bug.
The problem was the hack and the placement together and it didn't depend on the bed.

Naiad, I don't know if you read the edit of my last post, because it seems that I found the actual problem. It was a base game bed which was apparently stuck or something like that, and it only happens when I place the bed at exactly that place. I use Inge's inaccessible beds mod, since I often have pretty small houses. On the lot where it happened, there were about 3 tiles where you couldn't place anything because of the roof slope, but I used moveobjects to place the bed there. And then, everytime someone slept in this bed, this error occurred. I replaced the bed and thought the problem was solved, but it wasn't the bed actually, but the fact that I placed it just there.

I noticed the bugs after getting this mod, which I took out of the downloads folder right after the bug appeared, but it didn't help.
The problem was that even when I took out the hack the bed was still where it was standing before, and moreover, there was someone sleeping in it, which caused the bug. I didn't get that it was because of this, though.

So you and morriganrant are right, because it was CC that caused the problem, at least indirectly, even if it took me that long to actually notice it.

Yes, it was the same house, but it also happens on other lots and in different neighborhoods. After moving them back the bugs vanished, but it happens again from time to time. And I forgot to mention that when this errors occur, the portrait of the sim changes frequently.
Besides, everytime it happens all sims on the lot are affected. I don't know if visitors are, though.
It also happens in other families, but not inevitably at the same time.

I'll try to remove all CC again, leaving only what is really important. The problem is that I never really know if I managed to fix it or not, because I dont know when it will happen again. Sometimes I just take out something from my downloads folder and then it works again, until the next time it happens and I realize that I didn't actually fix it. At first I thought it might have been a few AL incopatible hacks that caused the problem, since I believe it came with AL, so I checked for hacks I might have overlooked, but I didn't find any. Maybe I should try to find out what exactly causes the lot to freeze after I take out the entire downloads folder, since only lots affected by this bug seem to freeze. So if I could find the file responsible for that maybe removing it will help, if there even is such a file.

I don't know what else I to do, though, and it's just super annoying.

If I did then hopefully I wouldn't have made a thread asking for the answer to a question that I already knew. So, no.

as you can see, NoNudityCensorM & F are NOT enabled (& therefore should be left at their default values right ?) (& showconfig shows them as disabled so it should be fine right ?)

so do anyone have the slightest idea of what's going on here ?
Thanks.

I use tthe Monkey Mod installer thingy with the framework provided here on the site. My mods all go into c:/program files(x86)/electronic arts/the sims 3/mods or something like that.    I know they're in the right spot.  I will try a few other things because I have trouble typing on this phone to reply.  I am pretty sure though it is not the framework.  Thanks I will not be able to test somethings I'm trying until around 4 AM central when I'm getting ready for work.  I have twofootmomma's mod from own site.  Yes.
