the ccmerged file was the only file in that folder, so there wasn't anything we could do with that to fix the game. We ended up deleting the cache instead, and that made it so that we could switch between sims again, but they wouldn't complete any actions we told them to do and a couple of other little glitches stayed around. What we ended up doing was saving a copy of the family along with the house to the sim library, and then bulldozing the lot. We placed the copy back into the same lot, got their house back, and everything was fully fixed.

 

What a strange glitch :blink:

So...at some point between the last time I played Sims and today (during which time Tim fixed our family, made a new Sim family, and played through it a while), my second Sim family disappeared from its house. I had to take the original version and move it back into their house, fix some of their outfits which had randomly changed, and start everything all over :(

 

On the plus side, it meant that my klepto witch got to become a ghost hunter instead of a cook. She's advanced in that career way more quickly--she's already level 6 after just one day of playing her, and making major bank. I've been able to upgrade a decent amount of their house with her ghost hunting income. And Jeryn is now a professional writer, making a living off of the variety of books he writes. I have so much fun going to work with Ilis and banishing spirits, ghosts, and poltergeists. There's this one ghost family that's called her to get rid of poltergeists and small spirits a handful of times. I like them. It's hilarious to watch a ghost panic at the sight of a floating toilet.

OMG. The weirdest thing happened today in our game. I was looking for an empty lot to build my fairy-witch family a new house on, and Tim wanted to check on his second household. So he did, and we found out that in the time that's passed while I played my second family, his fairy lady acquired a live-in girlfriend--who looks exactly like my kleptomaniac witch Ilis! Literally the same face, hair, body type, and sleepwear (plus a random addition of leggings). Only difference is that she's a human and has a different name. She's also apparently a very talented scuba diver. That's all we know about her. I think it's hilarious, if a bit bizarre, but Tim is upset because he wanted to create a partner for her but hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Only problem I have with aging and such in Sims 3. The other households continue while you're not playing and you have less control over them all.

I miss playing Sims.
 
Tim's computer broke out of the blue at the beginning of February and since those are usually software issues, the first fix he tried was wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Windows. It didn't work and he spent a month troubleshooting hardware issues and waiting on replacement parts, and now he wants me to wait until he's done with school to play Sims. So now my evil fairy novelist/kleptomaniac witch ghost hunter family is no longer with me.

 

I'm super sad because they had three kids with a fourth on the way and were building Visas to do cool travel missions in Egypt. Also Ilis and Jeryn were very successful at their careers. Ilis was at the top tier of the ghost hunters and was considering a career change. Jeryn had a thriving backlist of books to live off of. One of their daughters was a musical/artistic prodigee in the making. Another had an imaginary friend and could potentially have made her real if she or someone else could make the proper potion. I'll miss them dearly.

That sucks that you lost your game, Mary :( I've been too sick to play, but I've got my next generation waiting in the wings...for whenever I FINALLY get better.

I'm sorry to hear that, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation let me know. My father and I do a lot of computer work on the side and his specialty is data recovery. He has only lost data twice as far as I know, the first time was when he was just starting (kind of expected) and the second was when windows decided to repair its own drive one day when he turned his back for a moment.

 

So if you ever have something priceless like wedding photos or anything of a personal nature that you don't want to risk losing please don't hesitate to ask.

It ended up being his processor I think? When the various software diagnostics didn't reveal anything he got a replacement mother board and then it still was busted, so he got a replacement for the processor and it's been working fine since then. It was a new computer he built himself in December, so he had yet to put anything super important on there.

So one of my Sims destroyed a marriage.

 

I made a family a month or so ago and put them in Hidden Springs. It contained one set of cousins and one set of brothers. There was no cousin option in Create-a-Sim, though, so they had to be listed as house mates. Anyway, here's the lowdown of the original Sims:

 

Amaranth--a smoozy witch with a Life-Time Wish to cure Sims affected by curses. Just recently reached the top of the Medical career. Has one son, who turned out even more orange than Donald Trump.

Lysander--the ghost of Amaranth's dead cousin. He's childish, easily impressed, and loves animals. Is now married with a ghost daughter.

Kane--Amaranth's fiance, at start of game. They're married now. He's a virtuoso and a bookworm, and is making bank playing for tips at the local theater before movies.

Meg--Kane's younger brother. The only human in a family of witches, and the unwanted sixth son of parents who just wanted to finally have a daughter, damn it! They named him Megan anyway, and he just rolled with it. He's flirty and is currently trying to work his way up the Alchemy career ladder.

 

I used a cheat to have all my Sims know everyone in town, which made it easier to make friends and also made it so that everyone gets asked out on like 12 dates a day. Meg accepts most of these dates. One such date was with an older fairy woman, Catarina Vanderburg, who he quickly discovered was married. That didn't stop Meg, though. He kissed and hugged the crap out of her until she was a romantic interest, but eventually ended the date after it became apparent that the other people around town didn't approve of Catarina out on a date with a younger man when she had a husband and two adult children at home.

 

So they courted in secret. Meg called her regularly for WooHoo, and she spent the night a few times. Eventually, they conceived a son, who Catarina named William. Shortly afterward, I hovered over her picture in Meg's relationships tab because I wanted to see what personality traits she had, and discovered that she was no longer married.

 

They recently tried for a baby three times in a row, and I'm 99% sure it worked the last time, so I expect to update you with the news of the child once it is confirmed.

 

Also, Catarina's son's live-in girlfriend has called Meg to ask him out in a date at least once. I'm not sure if I should go down that route, but she is closer in age than Catarina is, and he does have an aspiration to date five different sims, so I might....

At least three of Meg's children with various women around town have died. I have no idea why they died, because they don't live with him. I just get a message that he's in mourning because they've died. But then he doesn't get the negative moodlet that he got when their first pet cat died--because these kids aren't members of his household, maybe? I don't know. But it's really difficult for him to have the innumerable offspring I was planning for him if his kids keep dying. What the hell kind of mothers are these Sims if they let their babies die, anyway?

 

I'm confused.

My last Sims game didn't survive the switch from Tim's harddrive to mine :( I made a new one, but don't have any pics yet. I was checking the screenshots folder earlier to see if I did, and found this thing from my last game:

 

Attached File  Screenshot-17.jpg   298.96KB   1 downloads

 

I guess someone's Bonehilda maid suffered a toadifiction curse? I used to see her around town regularly. I'm not sure whose Bonehilda she was, or why her toad curse never wore off like it did on regular sims.

I play a lot of historical saves, which necessitates custom content and mods. I'm still learning how to work with meshes in blender, but I can handle recolors with photoshop.
