More Signs Of Game Corruption?

2.) Visitors always show up unannounced and uninvited, sometimes walking right into the house without being greeted; and they stay forever. A message will show up saying, "Looks like it's time to leave", or "I need to go home now." And then they don't.

This is even an issue in Sims 4 as well.

So I moved on to Supernatural; figured I needed a fresh start. For the most part it's going great. But I'm also encountering some issues; and I've also been taking igazor's advice and have not been going to the Main Menu. Here's what's been going on:

1.) The ghosts of pre-made townies still do not vanish in the morning. They could be just part of a household, made active with the Philosopher's Stone - couldn't they? I never bind the ghosts of or even move in pre-mades, since that brings up a whole new list of problems!

3.) No matter how much I smoke the box, clean the box or feed the bees, the honey is still horrifying quality.

But the family tree is functional for every Sim, and best of all the matriarch is one skill away from having mastered ALL of them. So it's not all bad.

Do you play with base game +1 EP at a time?

1. no idea lol
2. lock your doors to allow household only maybe? does using the "ask to leave" or "goodbye" options work?
3. I've not played honey for ages but from what I remember there is a correct order to care for them and it does take quite a while for honey quality to improve. clean and feed once a day until you no longer get stung and the bees are flying around in circles rather than around erratically. always smoke before you do any action and harvesting is best done early morning (I think?)

3. I've given up on the bees. The one time I got the honey to decent quality is when I had a plumbot take care of the beebox at least twice a day (and usually 3x a day when I could manage it). I don't think tending the beebox once a day is enough to keep them happy. Here is an explanation of the mechanics. Make of it what you will.

1. In my game ghosts haunting the current lot return to their graves by 9-10 am. I rarely play with ghosts on the lot so I don't know if that's normal or not. Didn't really bother me.

2. For some reason I don't have this happen. It's rare for a sim to visit. I think that's a consequence of one of the NRaas mods I use, but I couldn't tell you which one. Have you tried having your active household vacate the lot? That usually forces all visiting sims to leave in my games.

Sorry for the out of order response. Sounds like you have normal simmy buggy gameplay going on, not any game corruption.

I agree this sounds like normal game bugs; not corruption.

1. Did these ghosts appear at the graveyard or a home lot with tombstones/urns? I've had ghost never leave when it comes time in the morning... Resetting them should make them go away but not break them. Use NRaas: MasterController to do it if you have the mod.

2. I've had plenty of party crashers but no strangers popping in randomly in TS3. I have seen sims stick around after the notification that they are leaving. You can reset them.

3. Bees are tough to keep up with. The key is to keep them clean, happy, and fed before even considering collecting honey. Once or twice a day: Smoke Hive, Clean Hive, Feed bees. Harvest when available. On my sims home lot, I try to tend to the bees twice a sims day. (morning&night) Believe it or not... they've been harvesting Perfect honey/beeswax within a little over 1 sim week. Using NRaas: DebugEnabler; I can see their stats so I know just how happy they are... But this can also be used to cheat their needs/stats. (I haven't needed to).

Game tips mention Smoking the hive is beneficial. Smoking the hive not only reduces the chance of being stung or attacked by the bees but increases happiness by 15%, also increases hunger. The smoke lasts for 4 hours. A sign of a happy hive- Bees will buzz around in a circle VS wildly swarming.

You can tend to beehives on a community lot to make it easier since hives on a community lot won't go below a happiness score of 72/Very Nice quality.

I rarely play in Appaloosa Plains, but when I did I had the issue of visitors arriving and just walking inside. It was somewhat annoying. Otherwise I enjoyed the world.

I tend to ignore ghosts and bees. I do have my sims collect honey occasionally - my biggest problem is stopping them from eating it. I don't worry about the quality of it though.

@KimRS -It sounds like you'll need to add the NRaas Mods to uyour game if you don't already havve them.I use only 114 NRaas Mod files and don't have sims walking into my family's home uninvited.
1.Ghosts that fail to leave might need an MC reset to vanish as they might've become stuck and glitched out.
2.Uninvited visitors coming to your home or sims swarming any community lot can be the story progression's lot options enabling sims to be pushed to visit that lot if you're using the NRaas Mod version of story progression instead of the EA bugfest which I don't ever recommend using because it's a broke train wreck and ruins games.That behavior is also common if you play with the bugfest serving as a "story progression" as it's known to cause these kinds of issues.
3.I would load beehives up on any community lot like my pool or a park where they can tend the hives and get decent honey.
