Privacy settings

You can still click on individual bathroom items and have it go to privacy on/off in the shooless menu. So, say you have a master bathroom where your married sims don't mind seeing one another, just turn the privacy off, but in the main bathrooms, you'd like it to stay default EA, then just don't ch...

Uni roommate after homeworld university

Thank you for the explanation between which sims were NPCs and which sims were just in need of housing! I had never seen these sims before, but looked in one of my sims relationships and it showed that she knew them. I went through and changed households to the homes where this is happening. First, ...

Uni roommate after homeworld university

I installed a homeworld university in my current save, which seems to be functioning fine, however, I've noticed inactive families are getting roommates that aren't even from the NPC or homeless pool. They are literally being created to fill the house (one is a single dad with 3 toddlers) even if th...

Building Glitch?

I just tried and had the same issue. I have my settings in my web browser on strict and I use private browsing, though as well as some advanced settings. I went into my web browser settings and put them back to standard in security (I don't know if you have them set to anything different, but if you...

Building Glitch?

If you ever get the sign in error like that in the future on either origin.com or thesims3.com (which is signing into origin as well), try clearing out your browser cache first and if that doesn't work, try using a different a different browser. It used to happen pretty frequently back when people p...

Building Glitch?

I just went in to see if there was a fix to this problem because I remember it from playing that lot a long time ago. If you take the fountain out, then put a pool in it's place, then delete the pool, you can then place anything that goes underground on that area. I think the game still sees that th...

Bypassing the launcher and NoCD

Does the box/case that the base game disk came in have Origin logos on it? I checked the outside of the box previously and didn't see the origin logo, but did a more thorough investigation of the box last night and the booklet inside has it on the last page. I also checked when seasons came out and...

Bypassing the launcher and NoCD

It sounds like you're already on patch 1.69, both from the location of the game files (in Origin Games) and because Origin is controlling the process of launching. To double-check, look in the lower left corner of the launcher, and you'll see your game version. Origin also doesn't allow players to ...

Bypassing the launcher and NoCD

I am on patch 1.67 and re-installed my game via disk on my new PC, however I have an external CD-rom and it isn't fun to run the game (rather loudly) through that external drive. I really don't want to install the 1.69 patch and not be able to use all the lovely programs I've been missing out on wit...

The Case of the Disappearing Toddler

@gcgrad I had a sim that had children with the real grimmy and my game save was a bit buggy afterwards. I have a base game grim reaper that you can download from my dropbox, if you'd like. I'm not sure if the exchange still works and that was where he was originally, which is why he's still in sims3...
