Linux, Steam and Sims 3

Hi, folks! Just popping in here to say that I also run Sims 3 on Linux. I'm using Manjaro with KDE, and I set my game up using Lutris—although I have it run CC Magic instead of the actual EA launcher. Things generally work great for me, except when the game is using around 2GB of memory I frequently...

Resurrected Sim missing actions in relationship panel

Hi, and thanks for the quick replies! Vielen Dank! :D I do understand the DE options are strictly EA and "unsupported," but in comparison to making ambrosia or the other options for bringing Sims back from the dead, it "seemed like a good idea at the time." Famous last words, eh? From what C-Dark sa...

Resurrected Sim missing actions in relationship panel

Hi, folks! :) I know it's been a while since I've bothered anyone here, though I've been lurking occasionally. Hope you've all been doing well! I have a weird issue that was probably caused by me doing something weird. One of my Sims died, for story reasons, and I had killed her using Force Kill. Al...

<t>In case anyone is still interested in this weird issue, I got them married using the Registry Office mod (which allows sims to get married at City Hall without joining the household). This method did not produce any errors from Mover (as expected, since nobody is trying to move in) and Glitchy st...

Correction -- sorry for the spam, really wish we could edit comments, etc. -- the glitchy sim is NOT married to the one who just got married, but to the other one. Still, seems like a pattern to me, as it has happened twice now.

<t>Further update: I think I'm seeing a pattern here. This sim manifests in IP after her wife, who is one of the vacationing sims, autonomously marries an IP native. Perhaps this is the game's weird way of telling me you can't have a spouse in two worlds at once. (I seem to remember you used to be a...

<t>Update: After playing for a couple more in-game days, suddenly I noticed that this same sim has appeared on the relationship panel of my vacationing sims, although she doesn't appear to be instantiated. (At the moment, the only interaction she has is "Texting," not even an NRaas button; right-cli...

To your second question, well, only time will tell! For now, I've disabled automatic missing sim recovery in IP. If anyone goes missing, they should be recovered on game load, right?

She was created in Salmon Woods and has never left. This is a sim that I made; in fact, she's the only one that I actually made. Also, this is the first time any members of the household have traveled. No one has been to France, Egypt, China, University, or the Future either.

Thanks; I will try that if she appears again. I wish I knew what causes this stuff. :|
