I don't actually have the new patch, if that makes a difference. The last time I tried to download one it broke the whole game, so I just decline the downloads now. Sad I played this morning and tried to do more with Bear but everything is still very ZOMG EDWARD. I have a feeling my next post will be very EDWARD EDWARD EDWARD here's Bear painting a picture EDWARD EDWARD. The only difference without the patch should be that you don't have the social stuff in-game, you'd have to go to the Sims 3 site and log in to see anything. All I have been doing is ranting about my game as it gives me troubles, so you're not missing anything too interesting! XD Have you removed all your CC/mods and tried launching it without them? I did wise up and try that last night and the game DID load so at least now I know I don't have to do a complete reinstall YET AGAIN. But the Waylinns are zero fun to play without all their awesome mods, so that sort of sucks. (Seriously, you should see how butt-ugly Dorito is without his modded hair, skin, eyes, clothes, and facial hair. He looks like a creepy bald hobo). So now I guess I'll just have to try implementing the mods in batches to see which one's causing the error. My mod folder currently has 333 package files in it though, so that could take a while. Hair, clothes and skin and all that shouldn't be causing the trouble, I don't think. I'd try updating things like Awesome Mod/NRaas mods, as those mess with behaviors and usually do need updating with new expansions/patches.

Argh. > I've been planning for Colby's wife to be a jockey and run in horse races. Only now (that she's finally done with being pregnant 3 times) have I been able to have her actually ride. So she rides, levels up her riding skill, I send her to the equestrian center to take part in a competition... and for whatever reason, when she's on the horse, the horse acts like it can't go into the equestrian center (it refuses, and gets the icon for a blocked path in his thought bubble). My sim can enter and leave just fine... just not on horseback (which she has to be, in order to enter a competition). GAME WHY CAN YOU NOT WORK FOR MORE THAN TWO MINUTES? Edit: Also, after waiting a week and not hearing back from Nintendo, I sent them another, slightly annoyed email last night. Heard back from them this morning and was told to call customer service (I COULD'VE DONE THAT LAST WEEK, DON'T YOU TELL ME YOU LOST MY FIRST EMAIL I SAW THE CONFIRMATION PAGE LAST TIME THAT IT HAD SENT!). So I called and managed to completely stump the customer service/troubleshooting team (who were all super nice and friendly and funny). So I had to run into town and mail my 3DS off to them. 1-2 weeks to see if they can fix it. LE SIGH. Son of Edit: Fixed it. Sort of. Had to delete that EC. Put a different EC on a different lot and they can use it again. Return of the Edit: ARGH. I used a fix yesterday to fix my borked unicorns. I was promised it wouldn't mess with the family trees of my sims. Except I check today and... it did. The sims in the house all show as relating to each other, but they lost their connection to everyone else and their dead relative. Grgehjfdsbfjksnfdkjlfjdoigfjmdslvmds.

For the horse with the equestrian center issue, did you try resetting just the horse? It sounds like the problem is with him rather than the building. Resetsim works the same with pets as it does for people. THAT IS RIDICULOUS, NINTENDO. UGH. Lousy rassafrassin' unhelpful help people. Hopefully they get it back to you relatively soon. Maybe if they CAN'T fix it they'll send you a new one for free!! It could totally happen. Do you use Twallan's Master Controller? It can help you rebuild a broken family tree. I used it once after the Waylinns' one fucked up. The only relatives we lost forever were a few spares who moved out and like.. totally disappeared from the game somehow. But I think it still works if the sim is just dead.

I did not try resetting just the horse. But if the new EC ever screws up, I'll try that! It totally never even dawned on me to use resetsim... even though I had used it on toddlers not long before. Doh. Luckily, my 3DS is still under warranty, so yes, if it can't be fixed it gets replaced for free. Hooray! I do not use the Master Controller... but that sounds like what I need. I'll go download that now. Do you know what I do to get it to rebuild the family tree? EDIT: Never mind, figured it out! Woo! Thanks. Also... I'm looking for suggestions for places to find good CC hair and clothes and such. Mod the Sims seems... pretty bare for Sims 3, and I spent about 3 minutes looking on The Sims Resource before wanting to vomit with how ugly things are there ("a toddler should not have that much hair omg she looks like a mini sleeper wtf are you people even trying to do?!"). Despite having tons and tons of CC for Sims 2, I have surprisingly little for Sims 3... and since I have not been buying most of the expansions, I am lacking in clothes and hair and such. (Also, apparently the next expansion is going to be magic, not weather? Or such is rumored by things that were added in with the newest patch that all apparently relate to magic things).

I have been reading along, I just have more time for these things on my phone and it's difficult to post here from there. So, comments!
I like Dace a lot. DACE FOR HEIR. If that's how you spell his name.
And the Waylinn issues are a total bummer. I miss Mango.
I just downloaded a couple of mods, so after this episode of House I'm going to play some Sims on Beer and see how it goes.

Hmm, three mods and the game won't load at all. This is not promising.

New Prime post: 7thsonsim.wordpress.com/2012/03/31/growing-pains/I took out all but the Twallan story progression mod and was able to load the game, but I wasn't actually able to interact with the sims at all. So I deleted all the mods and went back to playing like a normal person. Sigh. SPOILER ALERT:

What all mods were you using, Kam? Maybe there was a specific conflict between them? Or... have you updated your game to the latest patch? If not, some mods may not be compatible. :x
Also. Good gosh, but I love Buzz's eyes. And Bear! He's so cute. <3 Especially trying to ride Buca. Also ED. YOU SHOULD NOT ALMOST DIE ON A DATE IT IS RUDE. That is very weird about his near death, though. Usually they try to die again within a few days, so I hope that isn't the case with Ed. D:

Awesomemod was, I think, the one that caused the whole game not to load. And the Twallan story progression thing, I don't know, I may have just not been using it right? Every time I clicked on something, my only option was to delete it.
Let's hope Ed doesn't die soon. He seriously became an elder a few days before he almost-died. I've never had a sim die that young naturally before.

7thsonsim.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/an-heir-is-born/I spent all weekend deathly ill, and still didn't make it into work today. So here's another Prime update. It's kind of all over the place, but in my defense my fever was so high I spent a significant amount of time shivering in a bathtub and wondering if I was going to have brain damage after this. Also I talk about Peter a lot. Also also, I'm suddenly very curious what would happen if Edward met Hyacinth and they had babies.

New Waylinns post! Also, Kam, I'm sorry you've been sick! I hope you feel better. I'll be reading the new Primes posts soon and commenting your face off!
