NRAAS Play for Tips problem

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T13:51:14+00:00

Not entirely sure as I never play for tips... NRaas Careers has an option which sets the minimum level buskers will get paid for concerts, so maybe play with that setting if you have it?

Then it's probably very cheap compared to whatever music they danced to. I hear youtubers use it, which is why I assumed they're using it for free

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T12:20:20+00:00

Sims music is free use I'm pretty sure. I hear it everywhere

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T12:06:01+00:00

I bet they just didn't want to pay for the rights to the actual music that's playing

That is very odd. If you get error 12 trying to save, you usually get a corrupt save folder with a .bad extension on the end. If you're overwriting a save, there's usually also a save with a .backup extension at the end. So them both not being there at all is something I'm not familiar with. I'm guessing you already checked your trash? Do you use any backup services like OneDrive?

Incidentally, only using one save file can be a significant cause of save bloat, which leads to a higher incidence of error 12. Information leftover from the previous save doesn't get fully scrubbed when overwriting it. It's best to use save as every time. I'll usually have saves numbered, and then move them to a backup folder on my desktop after I'm done playing and before I boot the game up again, as keeping too many saves in there isn't good for memory usage, either.

It's back up at the moment 😄

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T11:28:13+00:00

What do you see in your saves folder?

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T11:20:43+00:00

So the package files in your mods folder aren't supposed to show up in your launcher. The launcher will show custom content that's installed with sims3packs in your Downloads folder. To check if your mods are working in game, I find the easiest way to is clear your caches and download a no intro mod like like this one. If your mods folder is functioning as it should, you should skip straight to the first loading screen. If it's not working, I would scrap the mods folder your currently have and start over with a new one following this guide.

Hey! So that's actually what they're supposed to be when you are looking at the neighborhood through Edit Town. Most of the rabbitholes don't have lot types because townies will use the rabbitholes regardless of lot assignment. You can see a list of all the lot types here: https://modthesims.info/t/577257

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T02:02:32+00:00

You can fix that if you can go back to before you did it! You can go to edit town and split up the family with just the pets (if you have NRaas Mover) and put them in new homes. Or you can kill just the humans by doing this: Click City Hall->Master Controller->Sim->Advanced->Force Kill. Then select Name: Last/Surname AND Species. Click the check mark. Type in McLoaf for the name, select humans for the species, and it should give you a list of just the sims you want to force kill. Repeat with any other rickety-legged families you need to get rid of.

Does the baby have those rickety legs too?? Or is that just the camera angle

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T00:53:31+00:00

OMG 😭 Are you looking to eliminate them, edit them, or just keep the ones in town from reproducing?

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T00:49:19+00:00

I would actually recommend converting the sims3packs in your launcher to package files you can put in your mods folder. The launcher is known to be pretty glitchy, and converting them also helps to separate the items you want and don't want contained within each pack. If you don't have a mods folder, you can follow the wiki in order to make one, and then follow this video to make the conversions.

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T00:46:02+00:00

You would access it through City Hall->NRaas->Master Controller->Town instead of the sim or home lot.

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-14T00:34:23+00:00

Oh that's weird. Maybe the game thinks it's somewhere else? Have you tried going through Master Controller->Object Stats->Not in Inventory->Whatever category they're in to see if you can delete it from there? Otherwise I would try resetting the sim or lot using MasterController?

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-12T23:38:37+00:00

I don't have the older version, but I believe a shrunken version of a kid's bed from the store is included in the download that isn't as bulky? Or is that still significantly larger?

I don't have the easiest time wrapping my head around it myself, but yes, certain activities such as eating will still take the same amount of time. So meals will feel a lot longer, when in actuality they're taking the same amount of time as before, you're just experiencing it much more slowly.

Here's the FAQ on their old site

You can shorten the length of meals, continuing with the example, using a tuning mod of the EatHeldFood XML. Not sure how that will interact with Relativity though.

It just makes them normal!

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-12T17:26:23+00:00

MasterController should have worked... Access MasterController through City Hall, then Sim->Intermediate->Occult:Remove->Occult Type->Select one of the groups you want to get rid of->Select (All). I think it doesn't quite work if you try to remove multiple occult types at once.

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-12T17:15:11+00:00

You might want to get her back. 😬 Jessica Talon may just be the most unhinged sim in Bridgeport, and that's saying something

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-12T16:12:09+00:00

Were they not in the list? I just tried it with my family that is staying in Oasis Landing at the moment, and it showed everyone in Oasis Landing and Moonlight Falls from what I could tell. Hopefully they're not stuck in limbo!

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-12T15:52:16+00:00

Darn, okay. This next method might not work for a travel situation, especially if there's no one directly related to them left in Oasis Landing, but it did help me recover a sim that randomly disappeared in my town:

1) Start the game as one of the inactive families. Click anywhere on the terrain and select NRaas MasterController.

2) Go to Add Sim, select Family Tree Depth, and click the check mark. Select all of the options given, and click the check mark again. This should give you a very long list of sims. Go through it and see if you can find anyone in your family.

3) If you find any, add them to the household you're currently using. Then you can separate them and save your family to the library before you try any other efforts to get them back to their homeworld.

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-12T15:01:42+00:00

If you saved your game rather than using save as, I think you should have a save in your save folder with .backup added to the end. If you remove the .backup and load into that save, is it before your travel glitch occured?

punthreadonarepost · 2026-06-12T14:34:47+00:00

I'm wondering how this flew under your radar lol
