Then one after aanother they left and my sim was all the day depressed, because the thief stole my >toilet paper holder< and a cheap chair Laughing But still it pissed me off, that I wasn't able to interrupt the burglar.

That's not a bug.

What sucks, is one it gets to that point, theres no way of saying "No stop! Don't send the repo man!". Although now that I think of it. . .if you remove the door from your house - they cant get in. Or making it so that you lock the repo man in a wall. That would be pretty sweet.

So how do you make a pool? I know how to make a pond, but how the hell do you manage a pool that people will swim in?

EDIT: Ah fuck. Why did I think there was a "sink" tool in the build menu. Sheesh.

A day or so before the embargo dude shows up you get a warning that it's the last day to pay your bills. If you accept to pay them then, the money's automatically deducted and your Sim doesn't even have to go to the mailbox.

Anyway, as for my own experience, I haven't had any crashes nor savegame troubles.

My Sim's Leader of the Free World (Political career, level 10) at this point, and makes $857 per hour (after several normal and opportunity-induced raises), working three days a week from 9:00am to 1:30pm.

He's also an excellent cook and writer (both level 9), but he's only written 4 or so books in total, the most popular being his recent mystery novel, "The Librarian". Shocked He gets around $1300 in royalties per week for that one. Before that book, the most profitable one was his political memoirs, "Yes I could!" (~$650 royalties).

No marriage candidate yet, as girls in town tend to be rather plain. He's been banging around occasionally, but none of them is hot enough to keep. Sad

Perhaps he should marry a mediocre chick and then do her an extreme makeover in game, though outfit/hair changes and perhaps a plastic surgery or three. Very Happy

had my first bug in game after I start new game my sim started to change cloth without reason.

ex. when she go to eat something she change in batch suit or when go sleep she start to wear cloth for visit someone etc.

I tried to delete that sim and create new one bu didnt help. Every sim i create do the same, and its sometime annoying when you go to buy book and before enter the shop change cloth to batch suit.

Sounds odd that it would persist like that, try moving the savegame and other profile/setting information away just to test. Smile
(Hopefully it's some save related bug that somehow remains and not something more bothersome like a protection trigger.)

Because it isn't, mate. It's the Digital Download version Wink

Retail only has a key-check, DD has SecuROM online activation. This has the online activation (you can see by opening the Sims 3 Launcher, or even by reading the readme.txt/en_EULA_DD.rtf)

No probs! In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the Russian DD too ... I know I saw that somewhere in the game files, I just can't remember where. As far as the new towns go, we get a whole new town - for free - once the game has been released. Very Happy

That's the thing... it's got all the Mac installer files and setups, but how do you crack a Mac game? I've only seen the one crack on the disk and that's an EXE :-\

From Spore, EA have started to use Transgaming Cider on their PC releases, so they can run on Macs too. You drop the cracked exe into the macc app (its a bit more longwinded, but you get the idea) and it works. Installed the release on my gf's iMac.

Hey guys, something incredible just happened, I hope you can enlighten me on this.

My guy was out of work and went to his girlfriend's. His wife was at home with the baby and a friend of her.
I often jumped between the husband and the wife but I eventually focused on the guy (I was trying to make his girlfriend pregnant Wink). And suddenly, the icon representing the baby disappeared and so did he !!!

He's not in his coffin anymore ! I don't know what happened because as I told you I wasn't looking at my home.

Do you believe the wife's friend abducted him ?! I know it sounds crazy but she left just before the baby disappeared.
I tried to clik on the police station but there's no option "report the child missing" Very Happy

So is it just a bug ?
Fortunately an other kid is on the way, but it kinda pisses me off :/


So no one has a clue on that ?

Speaking of Spore the file layout is very similar and it also uses those containers/archives to store files so with a bit of work unpacking and perhaps even altering the game data should be possible.

http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3491

EDIT: To the above, is it possible that the "Sim" was doing something with the baby or carrying it around and then decided to leave without first putting the baby down?
(Seems to happen now and then from what I've read in this thread, other objects though and not a baby, aside from that one a few posts back where a Sim took the baby to a date by accident.)

I was wondering about that at first too, but apparently when you have enough cash, you can first buy a share and then the whole business. I think the fast food diner has the cheapest share at 6,000 (buying full ownership is triple the share amount) - most expensive that I saw was the science facility at 40,000.

At times I think the game is a bit flawed in the sense that with any new toon you can chat up holly alto, romance her, fuck er little pert titties off, she had a kid everytime with me on first sex session got up the duff instantly and was able to marry her and move in. All in the same day lol.
Then mover her parents out to somewhere more comfortable for those aging buggers and break off the marriage and sell the house and profit. Ching ching 240k richer..

For some reason that really made me laugh, what did she do to get zapped by the TV anyway?
(And why is she walking around naked, shouldn't she shower or something to get rid of those marks.)
