I have not yet found a functioning vending machine, sorry.

I just use a Fanta fridge, and pretend it's a vending machine.

[dragonic]

Does anyone know where to find a functioning vending machine?

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.

You'd think that Late Night would've been a more appropriate EP for vending machines, but not according to EA. No, it would seem that if we want vending machines in our games, we have to put up with bloody pets too. Why not chuck in some weather in there while you're at it so at least this EP might be worth picking up?

Nah, wishful thinking there.

[brownlustgirl]

Agreeing with you uknortherner, this is what the store needs to stick with, offering game play objects like they did with the laundry stuff. If they would sell the vending machines as a game play objects, there would be a lot more sales. Selling the featured items from an EP without buying it is good for me. IMHO.

Heck, I have to put up with the dogs and cats just to play with the horses.

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.

I'm pretty sure she's a member of a South Korean music group, but I don't know her name.

I like the avatar because she looks like she's having fun.

[J. M. Pescado]

She looks like an imbecile. Very appropriate, for you, it seems.

I think the file you are after is called 'ShimrodsStereoElectronicaFix'

That's the one, although now that I've tried it, I've hit an annoying problem with it. In a room with more than one wall speaker, each speaker's playing a different track!

[PA]

As a complement to mods that make fires harder to fight, where might I find a mod that makes it easier to DIAF?  Due to what I am assuming was an outdated mod, my Sims just had the most glorious fire I have ever seen, every time they put it out it would restart and it lasted all Sim-day.  Unfortunately, though there were ten Sims living there and three visitors plus the firefighters, only one of them died.  Obviously it's too hard for Sims to DIAF!

Alternatively, pointing me in the right direction for what I could mod myself to make it easier for Sims to DIAF would work too.

ETA: Nevermind, that was stupidly easy to make myself.

[virgali]

Is there a pee in the bushes mod ala Sims 2? I really miss this option.

You haven't unwired them by mistake have you?

Nope. Shimrod's admitted on MTS it's a problem because of the way the XML's structured and the only solution is to have one speaker on the lot. This would be fine if I was trying to play custom music on a small lot, but this is a 30x30 nightclub and even a speaker with its audio set to high only fills a small area with sound. Ah well.

[jezzer]

Reading the L&P about the L&P makes me realize that this Pet EP caters even more to the fluffy-brained moron crowd than the last two Pet EPs, assuming the object descriptions are both EAxian and accurate.

[Kanedah]

Excuse my noobness, but I've been trying to find EA Store hair for males, aside from the first sixteen ones that were released. I've read all of the store content thread and haven't found this... so I guess I'll just ask here.

Also, sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language and I'm still bad at it.

I haven't come across that yet. Does it only affect the custom music channel? I ask as I know I have a disco lot with four speakers set to Pop and they all play the same track.

Most of the EA store hair is bundled with clothing collections, rather than being uploaded by itself.

Yep, it's only the custom music channel. On this particular lot I had eight speakers set up and all eight of them were playing completely different tracks. In the end I took the mod out and just switched back to the electronica channel.

Oh, I see. Thanks anyway, I'll try lurking for it on the downloads thread.

Also... someone that has an account at the EA site, could download this for me and upload it? Sorry for the bother, and thanks in advance.

Open the page in your browser, View page source, use Find: .sims3pack on the page source. You will see an address. In this case:
http://llnw.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/bin/shard000/000/013/515/10/Homeless%20Alice.Sims3Pack
Copy that address to your browser and you will be able to download it yourself.

[Menaceman]

Is that genuine advice as when I try it only the thumbnail link can be found in the page source? If I type in ".sims3pack" in the Find function I get nothing.

[morriganrant]

It is indeed real advice. This works for me, at least it does for this lot and another one I have tried, as well as the CAW.exe. I'm on Firefox. View>Page Source> (while on Page Source) Edit > Find
When the find bar pops up at the bottom type in .sims3pack
For the page for the Alice lot, I found a line that looked like this:
downloadFeaturedAssetsForMembers(1351510,"http://llnw.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/bin/shard000/000/013/515/10/Homeless%20Alice.Sims3Pack");
You just copy the entire selection between the quotes and paste it into the addy of your browser. What are you trying to download that it isn't working on? I just checked with a few random exchange crap patterns and still have no issue finding the link. Try the word "Members" instead? That word should be used about three times on the page source, one of those should be next to the link you would need.

Can anyone please upload that  http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:21368
 

[brownlustgirl]

It's part of one the Eco car sets. I know it is in the Ford 3 set that came out recently.

[Menaceman]

Nevermind. It was a misunderstanding on my part.

Hi,
i downloaded hidden springs from this link http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/60881582/file.html It downloaded and unnzipped just fine but when I started the zims 3packfile.  The launcher got all the way to the end and it said the installation failed please check for updates.  My game is fully updated.  I had the same problem with Barnacle bay too but it corrected itself by restarting the launcher. That is not working this time can anyone help me out?
