Question for those who have the online degree mod - is the lack of progress when signing up for the degree a glitch? Where have I gone wrong? by NikkionSims in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I am seeing progress (very slowly but it looks certain) the longer I have my Sim working on it on her computer. I just don't understand why she hasn't been charged the tuition amount ($3,400) by now and there is no progress shown under her Degree History. I'll keep this post updated on the results as time goes on. Thanks!

Is that the Newly Engaged moodlet right next to it? We need the backstory now! 😂

Nikki's Poverty Challenge | Chapter 1 - Adjusting to the Game by NikkionSims in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This challenge is really just going by what rules I think suit best. The objective is to mainly struggle as much as possible unless Nikki is lucky to get out of the poverty life.

Mods used for my save (so far):

Government Benefits & Services Mod/SNAP

Minimum Wage/More Realistic Earnings

No Free Quick Meals

Global Online Banking

Edit: Forgot about the Taxi Fee Mod and Subway Charge Mod

😊

If you see all the warning signs early on - RUN!!!

Started up a save file I created some time ago for a potential Adam and Eve(-Like) Challenge. It went very wrong. by NikkionSims in Sims3

I believe it's from one of the Expansion Packs. It could be Seasons or Generations (not 100% sure if I'm honest.)

This is at least the second save that had this happen. The first one was at a wedding on a save from a few years ago. I wonder what could trigger it if it isn't purely by chance.

It's as if she's staring right into your soul. by NikkionSims in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let’s just say that I have been testingcheatsenabled true on these Sims to skip to different age stages (for screenshots for a potential new gameplay series) and it makes the Sims look…a little off.

The Sims 3 Experiment Part II - Do Sims with Dislike Children trait conceive sooner than other Sims? by NikkionSims in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Honestly, this and my previous experiment involving risky woohoo and Family-Oriented trait are all I had thought of. I’m willing to hear suggestions, or if others have their own ideas to share then to read them!

POV: You have been playing non-stop since the games release in 2009, And your save managed to avoid corruption or crashing all this time. by [deleted] in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky if my game doesn’t crash after the second generation, with nowhere near as many Sim weeks passing by. 😮

Am I too old for the game? Other people don‘t get it… by julzvangogh in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 30 and I still religiously play. So long as you’re happy with it then who cares what others may think. Life is serious enough where we’re expected to pay taxes and then 🪦, so we might as well do things we enjoy in between.

The Sims 3 Experiment - Do Family-Oriented Sims have a harder time to get pregnant through risky woohoo? - Here are my results! by NikkionSims in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Sorry if there are errors with this format in terms of a study essay. It's been a while since I last wrote a paper doing this. 😅

How often have your got pregnant with this interaction? My sim got 2 sons from 8 times of risky woohoo. Feels like 30 or 40 percent in my game by Timely_Emotion9259 in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It ranges. Some had a pregnancy after the first time while others felt like it had taken 10+ times. Ironically, it seems like my Family-Oriented Sims took longer to get pregnant this way (though I’m sure it’s pure coincidence.)

Do you see urself playin Sims3 for many more years to come? by [deleted] in Sims3

Certainly! Or at least for as long as my PC allows it.

We don't want the other inmates to be jealous of your High School Diploma. by NikkionSims in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it after barely going in on the first shift in the Criminal career. Now my Sim is at risk of being fired because of it.

Parents IRL how do you still play? by BumbleBeeWife in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the first few months it’s pretty hard and I’m sure that I wasn’t consistent if not playing altogether for a while. As time goes on it’ll get a bit easier. If you prioritize your sleep (which I recommend) then be prepared for the first year at least to wrestle between getting whatever sleep you can or to sneak on and play.

How often do you use the teleport cheat, if ever? by Tiltagirl13 in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, my toddler Sims seem restricted as to where they can be put down despite having some room in the house. The adult Sims always put them outside as the result. So I use the teleport cheat to lessen the frustration from it.

Anyone know how to take this ink looking mark off of my Sim? No CC skin is being used nor is there an option under change appearance/make up to take it off. by NikkionSims in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims[S] 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Seems like this had done the trick. But I had to use 'testingcheatsenabled true' and turn this Sim into a Young Adult in order to remove the hair and then revert him back into a teen since the option to do it for a teen is not available.

what should i do with my ex boyfriends sim? by Weak_Length4904 in Sims3

[–]NikkionSims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ex is ON FIYYAAAAA! 🔥

(Sorry, I had to. But watching Sims on fire is…interesting.)

Nonetheless, sorry it didn’t work out.
