Maybe I'll just quit playing... - Cororon - 17-03-2012 05:25 PM
I posted this on the EA forum. I was so frustrated I almost cried, and thought about destroying my Sims 3 dvd's. :mw_fist:
I'm frustrated. Sims 3 should be the awesomest
game in the world, but it has become the most frustrating game I've ever
played. Bugs, bugs and bugs, diagnosing problems, searching and reading
about them on forums, trying to fix them, finding more problems,
needing mods to solve them, backing up the game, installing patches,
update the mods, putting CC back, check for new updates, finding more
bugs...
My problems this week: I had a family in Bridgeport.
Sometimes sims fell through the floor, from the second floor down to the
bottom floor, or they fell under ground. Sometimes resetSim worked,
sometimes not, and I had to move the family out to get the sim back.
I read that maybe the town is corrupt, so I moved my sim family to
Riverview instead. After spending hours building a house there, and
moved my family in, I got the problem with the game freezing every 10
seconds. Lots of people have that problem and there's no solution yet.
I'm seriously thinking about quitting. I want to enjoy the game,
but it's impossible. I even bought a new gaming computer for $2000 in
January only because I thought that Sims 3 would run better. But I was
wrong.

Well it is EA (the worst game dev's ever).

Ach, we've been here before. Twallan will save us!

Minty, I hope so. :mw_fist:
I went back to Bridgeport, and at least it's not pausing like Riverview.

It seems that sims can fall through floors or the ground if you have used Moveobjects and moved them around. They get unsynched with the grid somehow. :mw_hmmm: So to get them in synch with the grid you use testingcheatsenabled and shift-click to teleport them somewhere on the lot, and then they are normal again.

Sorry to hear your troubles! :/ I always play the same family and it seems like after the second generation something goes wrong and I have to delete the family so I'm in a similar boat as you

I've finally got my game working again since the last update!
Twallan's Story Progression Extras doesn't appear to agree with the game now, so had to turf that. No great loss anyway.
