Always an issue that many do not look thru the forum pages, even a little. You are a member since 2018... imagine all the newbies. I started that page before 409 was public on the premise that once public, always public, to repost a copy of Build 375 from @landess's archive, as the builds on page one of this thread are not what is advertised, and build 399 is possibly the worst, most buggy KW build ever. Landess contacted moderator and got the thread pinned at the top of technical help section index page. When I was informed of 409's public release, I tested and verified the link, changed the title of the thread to show 409 and posted the link... yet you didn't see it... as many do not. 409 is not perfect, but I will say that it did fi many of the bugs in previous versions. 9 hours ago, naniiiii?? said: Ah I see. Sometimes I confused my sims suddenly have a zoolover skill when I dont own EP 5. Zoolover skill is written into KW package and separate from Pets EP. Oniki created a new trait/ skill and skill books that Sims can read. Pets EP only adds animals.

landess Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 55 minutes ago, LadySmoks said: may turn it back on There is a mod to add a set amount - basically more in my case - along with a few tweaks. As for the celebrity system itself - you can turn it on (EA options), and the Sims/NRaas now has menu to set levels and values. Once you make some 'celebrities' - turn it back off - then they can still be asked for autographs, other sims get the Starry Eyed moodlet, and they can enter VIP areas. >>> So while the systems may be off - the game still recognizes certain features and allows those parts of the whole thing to continue. 1 hour ago, James2112 said: pretty funny It's one of my favorite reactions. I believe it is based on certain traits and possibly supernatural life states. Good sense of humor and brave for example.
bloodbus Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 Okay so I just found out there's a massage table that comes with that Sunlit Tides world on the sims 3 store. What I found out that's even more interesting is it has kinky interactions. I thought I would post that here in case anyone was unaware. Does anyone know if there are other sims 3 store items that have kinky interactions?

I have recently completed my EP collection this way. Over the holidays, both EA and Steam had huge sales on TS3. I already had the game, all EPs, and several of the SPs from EA. The Steam sale was outstanding. I bought the base game, plus all EPs and all SPs on Steam for around $80US. If you have the steam version, you can get the keys for them, and register them with EA, and can play either the EA version or the Steam version. I now have the ability to play with all of that either through EA or through Steam.

EP's were a mix, but without an Origin Sims 3 to start, my entire system is free from that Origin malware. )))

On that page should be a list of animations, which include the location. Massage Table is obviously one of those locations. I myself have too much to try and remember where it all comes from/belongs to, so I made the previous suggestion. I've uploaded a few screenshots - some which feature the massage table. You could always just scan everyone's shots - you might see something there as well. Edited January 15, 2022 by landess

And now, I've installed university but when I enroll and arrived at uni I have this notif. @landess probably has it covered with Traveler. I remember when I first got TS3, and included WA. My family went to France, and then could not return home. Been many years, and forget details and notices. I was not on LL back then, but did a search and found several threads (probably a few on MTS), and all pointed to an EA issue and Traveler fixed it. Patch after patch, and I guess EA figured, why spend money to fix a problem that Nraas already fixed. Not sure if you can save that save or no. I had already abandoned the time spent in France, and restarted my family from a save before they left. Since, however, my Sims travel freely and return with Traveler installed. 21 hours ago, James2112 said: University always had a error (including from KW 398 to 409) when trying to spawn the peeping tom (for me anyway).

Several EA worlds, and most CC worlds won't spawn any KW NPC's. Never bothered me, as I usually kill Tom... but, he regenerates until I finally use Nraas MC total annihilation on him! I have noticed too, that some NPC's don't seem to spawn in all EA worlds, but spawn in others. Harold Peeping is one that does not appear always.

I've traveller and error trap too, but its still stuck. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet. Several options... I also have Overwatch, which can save Nraas settings for all the Nraas mods. Click city hall to find the Nraas menus. Then, click city hall to import those saved settings to any game. Also, multiple settings can be saved, or saved for individual Nraas mods, and brought up at city hall for whichever game you wish to use them in. As I said, I have about 10 mods saved as "All". They are stored in the family library, but are not placed as a family, of course. I have had an issue that Traveler settings do not remain for some reason. So, check your settings before traveling. "Allowable travelers" seems to reset to default for me. Start a new test game to be sure you have Traveler working. Send your family on vacation, as they can simply use the phone to return home immediately. Make sure they can travel to and back. I guess you can enroll in university and immediately drop out and return home, but have never tried it. Try the save with the family you want to keep. You may need to start the game with Traveler, and exit it to get Traveler recognized by that save, then open the save again. If they still can't return, bite that bullet and just load that family from an earlier save while sit in homeworld, and forget the few days lost at uni. But, I have not had any major travel issues since installing Traveler mod. A few download worlds had various issues.

Unfortunately that save is made just as the Sim(s) leaves the world. Using that save would have the player immediately loading the destination world no sooner than finishing loading the origin world for that Sim. For THIS reason - I make a unique named saved for that series just before I commit any Sims to a Travel Interaction. This save will be deleted once the Sims return safely and have a few new saves completed back home. It only takes a second to save oneself a LOT of grief. The fact players may be only using a single save - over writing anything before makes me SMH. Seriously - Does anyone trust the Sims 3 stability enough to gamble time and effort? >>> Also remember, if a save will load - even if corrupted - the player can still save Sims/lot's to the Library Bin. This will make a copy of that household keeping skills/jobs/etc. while only losing relationships (outside the lot). They keep job level/etc. One can always salvage a family that way as well.

Using that save would have the player immediately loading the destination world no sooner than finishing loading the origin world for that Sim. And @naniiiii?? ... Never saw this. I guess I basically always do as you mentioned, and "save as", but that is what is prompted on my screen. I cannot just play for an hour, decide to travel, and it becomes one long save with the travel included. Many times, most recently because of first time travel to a brand new download world, I simply returned to main menu, and loaded the last save. My Sims will always be standing on the street in front of their house, as the save was made before they actually traveled. Only thing is the money for the trip remain gone, since that was done before the save was made. Besides, again, use the last save before traveling, and the family should be safe. To add, something recommended a LONG time ago on various TS3 threads, which I am sure @landess does without thinking about it is to always "save as". That writes a brand new save file, not just overwriting the old one. I also simply do this without thinking about it, although on rare occassion, will click an overwrite save if current save isn't that long of play time.

Curious... unless I just don't notice, and perhaps thought it was from my clicking 'save', not "save as"? The only time I ever see a save listed as (example) SV 1-22 515pm.backup, is on the rare occasion that I click "save" instead of "save as", and a back up is made of the overwritten save. The back up can be used also, if the save is deleted or renamed, and .backup deleted from the back up save file. I do believe those back ups add to the 100 save limit, although not 100% sure, as I tend to clean my save and save folder often. Constantly using "save as" still creates a whole new file, which definitely adds to the 100 limit, and I constantly save when I'm testing CC... more than usual. After a while, I generate a folder inside the Saves Folder and drag a bunch of old save files to it, then drag that to Documents, outside of the EA Folder. Evenyually, I just delete that spare folder. My Sims are traveling now, and I will have to take closer notice of what is generated when they return to homeworld! )))
James2112 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 With the discussions of travelling going on... A few observations. I never had a problem travelling and never used nras traveler. * But that was just from Moonlight Falls to University. At the time I had only Sims3 - Pets, Super Natural, Ambitions and Showtime. I have a sim who started in Moonlight Falls. I sent them to University and got them 2 full degrees and another half way. I think that amounts to 5 trips, I forget. I then had them move to Starlight Shores. I got bored there fast but mainly I did not like that all the people from Moonlight Falls had vanished from the sims friends list. I then went to move them again but it was so long ago I forget what I wound up doing. I think I was going to send them back to Moonlight Falls to test if the old friends would be there with the previous relationships intact or not. Either way, I had saved the game during the move and titled it so I would remember. I think also I mentioned some of this before as I also did not like that camera photos don't seem to survive the travel. I have since installed nras Traveler but have not looked at the options.* I also now have all the expansion packs. When I load up the save file (the one made while moving) I get prompted to continue with the move or cancel it. If I continue it, I see 2 versions of my sim. But regardless the sim does not move towns. When the load completes, I can play as usual but the second sim is unselectable and just stands on the front lawn the whole time lol. Well, If I cancel the move, the 2nd sim is in fact the one that is playable (the one on the lawn) and the other never appears. Another thing that is strange. I loaded that same save series at the point just before the sim had moved to Starlight Shores. I instead sent them to University to complete the 3rd degree. Sims from town (Moonlight Falls) are showing up at Uni as "adventurers". That is new to me and likely due to having all the expansion packs installed now. I know about the random tourists that can show up, but nobody from Moonlight Falls ever appeared at university before but obviously they are showing up now due to having world adventures installed. I will have a look at the options in Traveler to see what is available but it has been a little difficult to resurrect this save series. Initially I saved the sim (household) to the sim bin but something about that bothered me too, I forget what. So for sure save before making these travel decisions as I am still trying to sort these files out along a timeline, even with multiple saves lol. On a unrelated note, I reinstalled everything about this time last year and it is all still functioning well. The sims3 store items etc... But if I try to use some old downloaded characters (with attached items as larger package files), it breaks the store content as well as messes up CAS items. But the pet store works fine along with the cash register and the sim that gets generated with it. 1
