So um, I've been playing for 5 hours. I've seen a toddler age up to a teen in one playthrough today. He was on the honor roll as a child. (Proud simmer moment.) Uhm, I got a dog for the family and thought that I saved my game before she was taken away. So I thought "well I don't want to readopt the dog since her birthday is coming up" (she would've aged up without me seeing it :( ) and I went to the main menu. I didn't save except for 3 hours ago. I've lost 3 hours of gameplay, and my teen was a child and there was no dog anywhere to be seen in that save file. So I deleted the save file. Anyway how was your day? :D Edit: All of that happened while it was her (the dog) birthday :disappointed:

Well since your game asploded :# Will not be submitting anything at this time,that would be like salting the wounds :(

@Samlish - I don't want to make you feel worse after that ordeal (my day was horrible, in case that helps), but you can't re-adopt a dog if it has been taken away by the pet care social worker. Or do you have a mod in play that actually does make that possible? Generally the town feels that if a sim is not capable of keeping the pet healthy and happy, it does not wish to see them reunited.Or perhaps I'm reading too much into this and you were playing TS4, but posted on the wrong forum board? :/

@Samlish Sorry that you lost all that time. Hope your next play session goes better.@igazor Sorry that you had a horrible day. Hope your next day is better.I am currently trying to decide if I want to play. Slept for most of the day so I will be awake all night.

@igazor Really? I've heard that you can readopt a pet taken away, and I believe (it's been awhile) I've done it before? Also I'm sorry you've had a bad day and I hope the next day is better! I was on TS3 when this happened :P

@Samlish - Hmm. You know what, now that I think about it I've never let a pet get taken away so I can't really speak from first-hand experience. If I find it too difficult to maintain their social needs, which can be the tricky one, the obvious (to me) solution is to get them another pet so they can socialize with each other. Keeping them fed, safe, and happy doesn't usually seem like that much of a burden.So anyway, perhaps I was going on a false assumption that re-adoption would not be possible unless one is using mods and moves in very quickly with MasterController to make that happen, before the pet gets removed from the scene and possibly the world roster.And yes thanks, the next day (today) has been much better. The stress was mostly work-related, with a temporary not feeling well moodlet thrown in for extra fun. :)

We've all been there. And it does suck. Especially since even if you jump right back in, things never go exactly the same way.

I've been working on my CAW project. I've got it installed in the game, and am going through all the lots one by one, looking for lot tears, terrain offsets, terrain paint that shifted from where it belongs, houses that need some plants in the front yard, etc. As I finish each one, I save it. I'll use these new saved lots for placing the houses in CAW, in Edit In Game. My town is going to be full of store items, and Edit In Game doesn't like store items. So I have to make the world in parts, then copy the lots to the base version. Once I do that, I can never take my world into EIG again, so I have to make sure everything is right before I put it all together. I feel like I'm getting close to being done, and I'm feeling good about it. But I also have to build two ports and a dive lot, and I'm not the least bit excited about those.

You guys ever get a few new packs but cant play them because you have to take care of stuff in real life? I'm house shopping with my family so I won't really have time to play today. I just cant wait to get back home later on tonight lol *sigh*

Know that feeling too. When I bought Seasons, Uni, Pets, and Showtime I got quite annoyed cause the power went out JUST as the last of them finished installing. Power didn't come back on till noon the next day, which annoyed me even further since it meant everything in my fridge and freezer had to be tossed since I'd had no electricity for 35 hours. So I had to make an emergency grocery run as well, delaying getting to fart around with my new EP even further.

Fighting yet another stupid throat infection. 2x250mg of Clarythromycin twice a day for ten days. ~sigh~. And trying to play 11 Sims at the same time in one household...well...at least one thing is enjoyable and it's not the throat infection.

Update: 8hrs later... second dose at 0816 this morning. This coughing though is driving me nucking futs.
