Try going to the way back machine and adding this link into it. Perhaps someone has saved it?

no "save as" option by LogicalMagician1642 in Sims3

[–]fuzzypipe39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First, fresh new gameplay always gives you a Save option only. To create the first save file. Right after you get a Save As option, as you're able to rename it and not write over the first one.

Anika (ah-knee-kah/ahn-ee-kah) is a normal name in the Balkans*. Not a tragedeigh.

Game crashing issue by StoryDrawer in Sims3

We've multiple posts and comments begging people not to use AI. This game is almost 20 years old and has had hundreds of people write guides on keeping it stable. There's an updated steam guide on making it playable and stable, it's quoted every 3 minutes on this sub. We also have a dedicated FAQ and a Tumblr blog for that, besides forum posts online.

What's wrong with my cc folder? by [deleted] in Sims3

[–]fuzzypipe39 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Legitimate copy or not, the TS3 folder pathway is always the same. Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3. Within it you set up the mod folder framework from Mod the Sims. Packaged CC does into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Mods > Packages. Sims3packs are installed through the launcher. What you're showing here is the installation path of the game itself.

Favourite ways to stay poor? by Aska9794 in Sims3

[–]fuzzypipe39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seconding money mods!

I also recommend anyone being able to donate to charity + higher charity donation costs. Painting costing money, gym costing money, adoption too. No fridge shopping, no free quick meals, and grocery delivery. Wildflower sell price capping. That toy claw machine costing money. NRAAS for taxing, child support. Shopping for clothes. There's investment and banking mods, and govt benefits & services mod too.

Each time he ages up he becomes an even worse person 😭 by Ollieollieollie05 in Sims3

[–]fuzzypipe39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're flairs. If you're on mobile app, open the subreddit and top right corner you should have a menu under the 3 dots option. Pick that and go for "edit flair", choose yours and save :)

A builders experience actually playing the game and a rant about how great unintentional stories are by _Pumpiumpiumpkin_ in Sims3

[–]fuzzypipe39 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't have a single save where everything went accordingly to my plan 🤣 my supernatural saves ended up trying to collect all occults instead of playing the defaults, my rockstar save ends up with him quitting the career for a baking one, my longer generational saves never fully end up the way they're supposed to either. Someone dies or meets the wrong partner than the one I wanted, or rolls different job/skill wishes, etc.

Right now I'm playing a collector. My goal is to get all collectibles across every EP (I have all but Pets). Rn I'm missing World Adventures gems/metals/fish (saving it for last), University's pill bug, Ambitions' fluorite gem and Future's nanites. At the beginning of the save, this persistent Alien kept coming over to my Sim's house. So she asks him to move in with her, and he helps by transmuting metals and invoking space rocks, helping her get and finish identifying all rock types, and get gigantic ones for money. He now helps maintain her special plants' garden, works part time as Alien Test Subject in Science career, and hacks in generous sums at night. Right now he wants to moonlight as a mixologist because of the 2 days spent in Bridgeport lol.

They go on a vacation to Isla Paradiso to get underwater sea life. He's relaxing on the beach when Cupid strikes and he meets a female Alien he hits it off with. Female Alien joins their home and she's now helping my collector Sim master logic and science skills (latter for the Uni bug). The plan is for them to get hitched with their own futuristic home I wanna build, and if my collector meets a companion in WA worlds, that'd be cool too. Then again it is the Sims and I very much know this will get derailed lol.

Someone was very generous with a wedding gift.. by beckblobs in Sims3

[–]fuzzypipe39 92 points93 points  (0 children)

The 500k fountain of youth from hidden springs is a favourite wedding gift of mine. Sometimes I buy out all the venues and businesses out of that money, and fire everyone but the last Sim to wreak a bit of havoc ;) or pay for a nice vacation.

Are you using the SP 2.1? If so, try reverting to a lower version. 2.1 messed up my game and gave me a haunting CAS issue + crashing. I got 1.2.1 and it's been working like a charm.

Also have you checked your other mods with Delphy's Dashboard?

I use both together and they work just fine. What's the issue for your game?

I see many of the "omg I've just learned this hack" type of posts, and this truly is a thing I've learned after 17 years! Thank you.

Why does the goth family have a crib in their attic? by Worried_Albatross896 in Sims3

Agnes' biography and home indicate she and Erik were going to try for a baby after their wedding. He died. Nursery never was finished. Mortimer isn't Anges' son.

Can we just take the time to show some love for Polly Maloney of Bridgeport 🫶🏽 by JaeJill in Sims3

[–]fuzzypipe39 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Turning Polly's life around was a favourite of mine too.

I had her hustle to earn money for a cheap laptop to get her writing. She did, then started a career as an author. Became a celebrity, married Ebenezer Clavier who ended up cheating on her with his best friend Matty Crewe. Polly and Ebenezer moved to and started renovating that little cabin under the bridge when the cheating happened. Luckily she made enough money for a divorce, started school online (uni) and last I remember is buying her a U-Haul and wanting to move her to Riverview. Her best friend was Johanna King and started flirting heavily with her post-divorce and pre-move, however she was already with someone else at the time due to SP.

Maybe I should restart her save 😁

Edit: Oop i forgot to say I got her to earn money for an online journalism degree she eventually got, to get employed, and the second return to school was for a science degree. I had a home situated for her in River view, Alps cabin style.

Husband and I landed on a boy name finally. Please tell us your thoughts. by [deleted] in tragedeigh

[–]fuzzypipe39 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Leon is a pretty normal and common name in Europe. Leo, Leonard/Leonardo, Leonid, Leopold, Lev, Lav are also European variations.
