Is there a way to stop losing friendship with Emperor of Evil?

I guess you could change this to zero with Retuner: <FullClassName>Sims3.Gameplay.Careers.Criminal,Sims3GameplaySystems</FullClassName> <FieldName>kAuraOfEvilParams</FieldName> <SubFieldName>RelationshipToLose</SubFieldName> <Value>-3</Value> Or this, although I don't know whether it would work as i...

Issue with two somewhat persistent game crashes

I see that igazor got here first, but I don't feel like completely overhauling my answer, so I'll leave it as-is and just say the non-repetitive part is about the usable memory limits for the game and OS. Both of these look like out of memory crashes. The problem here is Sims 3 can only use 2 GB mem...

Game doesnt recognize my mods

How did you install the game? And where did you find the patch? It's available directly from EA servers, so even if your antivirus objects to it, you can trust that it's safe. But a third-party download might not be.

Pregnant sim is frozen

Just checking, but did you successfully run an MC reset from City Hall, and did you do it after removing the pregnancy moodlet? That's much more thorough than the resetsim command. If that doesn't or didn't help, try adding CmarNYC's Pregnancy Controller: https://modthesims.info/d/485285/pregnancy-p...

Game crashing when using hospital

Did you install the .package file(s) that come with the Smooth Patch? If so, take it/them out; they're incompatible with MasterController. The files that go in the Bin folder should be fine.

Is there any mod to stop the inactive sims going home straightaway after work?

I don't know of a mod that stops this globally, but you could use a DebugEnabler reset on any sim you don't want going home in the moment. That clears the action queue without reseting the sim entirely, and then they'll be available to interact with.

story progression performance issue

If the severe lag lasted through two full SP cycles, which you can calculate based on the cycle length or just count from the notification summaries you see on-screen, then the issue is not limited to SP's initial rearrangement of sims' lives. You can check only the pregnant sims, if there are any, ...

story progression performance issue

StoryProgression doesn't typically cause performance issues this severe. But there are a few reasons it could, temporarily or on an ongoing basis. One is that when you first install it, SP will do a lot of work rearranging inactive sims' lives to match their personalities and lifetime wishes. So for...

Game crashing when using hospital

I haven't heard of the Smooth Patch .package files causing issues with the hospital, and I'm not sure they've caused issues outside of CAS, but this site's policy is clear. My comment was more that if you want help on this site, please remove those files and confirm the game crashes without them. Mo...

Game crashing when using hospital

This is just a correction log, standard for ErrorTrap and nothing to worry about. It also doesn't say anything about the current issue. Have you tried a MasterController reset of the hospital lot? Click on the ground of the lot and select NRaas > MC > Reset Lot. Hopefully you've deleted the five cac...
