Re: Sims 3 Missing objects warning[Mac]
@ig607 The launcher not recognizing your packs as installed is in fact not an issue, and it wouldn't account for the missing objects warning. Do you have any custom content installed? Someone else had the same issue and needed to remove some bad cc.
For the travel transition, there are ways to try to prevent it from breaking, as it did in your case, with or without mods. The mod-related approach is more efficient, but not everyone wants to use them. Without mods, the best you can do is try to relieve the stress on the game engine as much as possible.
- Empty your sims' inventories as much as possible. A few items is fine; a hundred is not.
- Use "save as" to rename the save, then quit (without saving) immediately before you want to travel.
- Load the game just to the Main Menu. Turn off memories, the in-game shopping experience, and the hidden object interactive loading screens.
- Lower all the graphics settings to the minimum. (You can revert to your normal settings after the travel transition.) Now quit the game again, without loading a save.
- Delete the five cache files in your game folder in Documents: CASPartCache, compositorCache, scriptCache, simCompositorCache, and socialCache.
- Empty out everything in FeaturedItems as well.
- Sign into Origin and put it in offline mode. Disconnect your computer from the internet—turn off wifi and/or pull the ethernet cord.
- Now launch your game, load the save, and send your sims home right away, as soon as the game clock starts moving forward.
If that doesn't help, let me know whether you use custom content and whether you'd be interested in adding mods.
