I always thought you can't adjust them in a current game? Great if you can, can get some more lifetime for my sim. Very Happy

She's was in my household for a while but if i do not keep an eye on her she's starting to scare everyone and they really don't like that Very Happy

..... "There was an error saving the game. Error 13"

or some such bullshit. The only issue I've had in over 15hrs of play --- and it wiped that save game instantly. The only other one I had was FIVE FUCKING HOURS OLD.



.... urge to uninstall game and delete ISO; rising.

Yeah the readme file has the error numbers explained. It's really damn annoying even if you have a recent save - that's why I restart the game every now and then. Only seems to happen if you play extended periods of time.

Yeah, that means loads. Seriously.

Fuck sake. It's my own fault for not saving in over 5hrs, I was just so sucked into it .. Sad

Hehe yeah, did you see #15, something along the lines of "We don't know what the fuck went wrong, sorry!".

Bet the normal sims fans will be pissed if this happens in the real retail version as well - no way they'll think of doing multiple saves or anything. Razz

Mate, it was blind luck that I DID make an alternate save ... I actually went to click "save" and chose "save as" instead >_<

I tried that mate, all I get on the save list is my 5-hrs older save ... and the one that died. The one that died due to that error just has a white dotted outline for my character and it won't load (clicking it does nothing)

Bah.

Yea just delete the corrupted file and remove the .backup part from the name - it should be the 2nd most recent save of that slot. Wink

I had a corrupt save too once (from saving when quitting the game, ill never do that again). But after restarting the game 3 times, it just suddenly showed up fine again. I always save twice in a row now, so if 1 is corrupt i'll have the backup.

Since there is no thread-search here:

Is there a way to use the windows xp firewall to block the game? I tried to use it once, but couldn't find any way to completely block certain programs.

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 :/

 Spoiler:

I had an interesting bug, I can't remember exactly how it happend, but I interrupted my sim watching the cooking channel and the skill-up meter remained over his head. I thought at first it was just a visual glitch, but he continued to increase his skill and actually maxed it out this way. Very Happy

ctrl+shift+c to open the cheat menu.

motherlode = 50,000 simoleons.
kaching = 10,000 simoleons.

Same as Sims2. Oh and I found the "boolprop" cheats in the readme.txt file! They're the same as Sims2, just without the initial boolprop command! Very Happy

I dunno.. I just added the .exe files (launcher and the game) into the firewall allow-list, clicked apply, then deselected them and clicked apply again, and i havent had any issues so far.
Just remember to uncheck the auto-update option in the launcher just in case.

My first bug happened while I was at sleep. A woman came into my house and started to steal stuff (had some sort of laser gun). I immediatly woke up my sim and called the cops. The cop came into my house, walking past the burglar and started to yell at me, because I called the them!! Meanwhile the burglar kept on stealing my stuff! 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.

And in the late afternoon I went to the park to prepare some burgers for the people (I was happy that I finally learnt how to make burgers Smile ). After preparing and refining the burgers I just took place next to them and played some guitar, so that the people will come and have some fun. But some dickhead appeared, went to the burgers, took the whole tablet (I was like "Is he going eat them all??") and threw them into the garbage! I immediatly stopped playing the guitar, but the fucker ran away and took a car to disappear as fast as possible Laughing

Yeah I had a few with the laptop you can carry in your inventory - first I got an opportunity to fix some old guy's laptop and when I accepted it was meant to automatically add the broken laptop to my inventory. I already had my laptop there tho, so nothing appeared and I couldn't repair the current one or give mine to the dude. Nothing to do but to cancel the whole thing.

Later when I was visiting someone else's house, my sim decided to repair the laptop there (this was later and completely unrelated to the first incident, since he broke the thing trying to upgrade the gpu Very Happy). Got it fixed just fine, but I guess the game considered it the property of the house owner and I couldn't pick it back to my inventory.

Also, when I went to visit my firstborn son, I couldn't fulfill my wish of holding him first because "I didn't know the family well enough". Wtf, don't the sim fathers get any rights? Laughing


Haven't had a burglar come visit yet, but I moved to that beach house with the big windowed walls, and on my first morning my sim woke up to some Peeping Sim peeking in. Shame I couldn't catch him, haven't been in a fight I haven't won yet.
