I keep all store installers on a hard-drive. Whenever I have to re-install them, I get them from there.

I know what you mean! I've taken to installing as I miss items, so I don't get so bogged down with it.
Enjoy!

as you all know im just coming back to the the sims 3 from sims 4.

ok so i only been playing like 20 minutes today and my 2 sims i have learning guitar and drums, my drummer was watching my guitarist and she upped a skill level, my drummer got excited about it and cheered for her.

boy do i miss things like this. <3 :)

I've become so well rehearsed at whats wrong with sims 4, but its been so long that i really forgot what it feels like to play sims 3.

@MiSFiT203 - Your sim got excited and cheered because they no longer have to suffer from hearing the low quality guitar noise all day long. >:)

If I have to put up with what low skill level sims do to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on the violin before they skill up for one more day...okay, this is my fault for using NRaas Relativity to throttle skill gains and make everything more complicated to advance through, but that scratchy mess is enough to make anyone bleed from their eardrums. I try to send my sims out to the garage or some other out of the way place to practice until they get good enough to play in the company of others (and me). :p

well i'm already starting to show signs of a pattern addiction. guess my days of playing sims 3 are already over. i cant play if i keep downloading more patterns. :( :( :( lol

Fear not, you have come to the right place. I believe we have someone who can help you with that.

Paging Dr. @CravenLestat :)

lol good to hear

think this is my first time having an Origin dependant sims 3 game, ugh its so frustrating. wish i never bought DLC's from Origin. I live in florida where the power goes out basically almost everyday due to daily thunderstorms. this just happened to me. so rather than booting up my pc and jumping back into game, i have to wait for my super slow to boot modem to decide to finally connect just so i can play a game i never needed Origin to play? *sigh i hate the digital age, its so convenient til its not.

You did well honestly. :p
