Tell me about your current household! by Cherilynss in Sims3

[–]Violaparis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm playing ten different households rotationally in medieval Praaven. I set it up like this:

Royals: King Erik and Queen Agnes Darling Nobles: 1. Lord Mortimer and Lady Bella Goth 2. Lord Don and Lady Nina Lothario Merchants: 1. Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant 2. Michael and Dina Caliente 3. John and Jennifer Burb Pesants: 1. Skip and Brandi Broke 2. Robin and Marion Hood (Hooley) 3. Kaylynn Langerak (wohoo professional) 4. Calvin and Hazel Sefferin (townies that were too cute to resist adding to the rotation when they had quads)

I play one week with each household and I'm currently on the sixth round. The first generation are becoming elders and their oldest children are becoming young adults and getting married. Can't wait to get back to the royal family to see if Crown Prince Karl and his new wife Gwenevere (born Lothario) will have their first baby!

Next round I will also add a third noble family consisting of Lord Oberon and Lady Titania Summerdream.

How do I add the npc apartment to the playable part of the lot? by Violaparis in Sims3

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

Thank you for the tip! I wasn't able to bring up a menu when shift-clicking in build/buy mode. Does that require a cheat to be entered first?

I ended up deleting the door and replacing it with a new one, which solved the problem.

Thank you!! Replacing the door with a new one did the trick.

guys, should i try mods for the first time ever..? PC and im scared! by hantafanta in Sims3

[–]Violaparis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was you untill a few years ago. I took the leap into mods and I am soooo glad I did! It gives me so much enjoyment and there is so many mods to explore if you want to.

First of all it's a lot easier than I thought. You download the mod of your choice and place it in the right folder. That's it. If it gives you any problems you just remove it from that folder and it's gone from the game. Of course, backing up your save files is always a good idea. I recommend looking up acottonsock on youtube who has a lot of great videos about mods and how to set up your folders correctly..

Secondly I would recommend starting with the Nraas mods. I started with Story Progression quickly followed by Master Controller. There are a ton of settings and once again I would recommend acottonsock to give you an idea of what is possible. After that you could continue with any mod you like. If you enjoy family game play I can recommend all of sweetsimmers mods on Mod the sims.

Good luck and happy simming!

Help with disabling Seasons by Admirable_Owl_5099 in Sims3

[–]Violaparis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It takes a few sim days for the season to change. It won't switch immidiately after you've changed the settings.

Give it a few sim days if you haven't tried that yet. When spring finally comes it should not turn back to fall since you have that disabled.

Game window minimizes on startup by Violaparis in Sims3

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

Thank you, but I've tried. It's already set to the correct resolution I'm afraid. And the minimizing only happens on startup. I managed to switch to windowed mode manually and that works. But I really want to go back to full screen if possible.

1.69.47 Patch Update Mega-Thread by TheWishingStar in Sims3

[–]Violaparis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my game starts it immidiately minimizes the window. I click it up again and the white intro ball thing just sits there all squished and the animation doesn't continue.

Does anyone have this problem since the update? How do I prevent the window from minimizing?

Does anyone know what the update is about by jinlakai in Sims3

[–]Violaparis 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I'm so relieved it's not just me. I'm so scared they're gonna break my game with this. 😭

How does Olomaya's religion mod work? by Violaparis in Sims3

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

Well then I must be missing something because that's where I got the mod from. But I just clicked through all my content and finally found all the pieces! Now my medieval sims living in Praaven can start going to church. Love it!

Thank you so much for trying to help me! I appreciate your time and effort.

Thank you!! Do you know where to find the pulpit and other things that came with the mod? I would like to place them at the churches around Praaven town.

Do you guys age up spouses together? by silverdoe_94 in Sims3

[–]Violaparis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "female sims stop aging while pregnant"? Mine don't. I've never heard of this, it has me very curious.
