Oops!

ummmmm.... So I accidently deleted all my townies smart phones when I was doing a clean-up of inventories. :-o :oops: I know I can just start my older save, but a lot happened between my last save and the "oops" save, so I was wondering if I can do anything to get them back? I looked but you can't b...

Relations between NPCs

This reminds me of when Sims first WooHoo and have a Sim stay the night; the next morning when the active Sim tries try to be romantic, the other Sim often refuses any romantic advances. This has happened to my Sims many times when starting new relationships. I finally just laughed it off and figure...

Occults and aging ??

It's hard to know what the game was up to, as the notification may have been a red herring. Under NRaas SP, the game doesn't cull elders. The notification may have been tripped up on when to appear because of the extended lifespan, but it's possible it wasn't actually rolling a death chance if that...

Occults and aging ??

First a bit of my gameplay backstory; I've not played with occults very often in Sims. In fact it was a few years after having my Steam version of Sim3 (my first ever introduction to The Sims franchise btw) before I even downloaded that particular DLC, though I had all the others. Even after getting...

How do you transfer sims from one game folder to another?

I know this seems pretty much covered, but here's my offering; I always just save my already progressed family to the game bin from "edit town" and when I start a new town I have them ready-to-go with all of their skills and such intact. (relationships will not carry over, obviously except for those...

Nuking wishes

I believe that one way to stop the hopscotch wish is to (at least temporarily) remove all hopscotch courts from the world being played until the sim's dream manager finds something else silly to be obsessed with. :) So all Sims must suffer a lack of hopscotch because one Sim want's to play with his...

SP setting not taking???

Totally off-topic, but JohnL83 I wish you'd gone to a school like mine. I wish that too, but at the same time it made me who I am today... Wait...not so sure that's great either. LOL Just kidding. Perhaps I'd be less self-aware and less empathetic had I grown up differently? Still, we've come a lon...

Nuking wishes

What's wrong with playing hopscotch with your boss? :P I've not heard of any way to pick and choose what wishes Sims get, but if there is something, I'm game. :) I've even had Sims with the "dislikes children" trait get wishes for kids as soon as they are in a committed relationship. I've always I w...

SP setting not taking???

Note to board moderators. I'm not sure what's going on here, but I can't edit my post today. (I haven't left the page and the time between posting and me wanting to edit are less than a minute or two. I'm not sure why, but I get a blank screen when I click the pencil to edit my post. I didn't have ...

SP setting not taking???

Let's take a deep breath here and think about all of the useful things the OP's sims might have been able to learn in school if only their player had just let them go (yes, when it was supposedly not in session). I mean, a quality public education is meant to be a privilege, not a punishment. Right...
