Problem with opportunity
I got a task for omnplant. At the time when I had to bring 10 steaks, I updated the game from the version of pets to 1.62. Unfortunately, it turned out that when I try to deliver steaks, the sim ente...

Just after installing this update I can not finish all the started opportunities, both adventures and normal ones.
I used Overwatch for a while, but I do not know if it made the game work any faster.
Now I have version 1.66 installed by superpatcher, I did not install 1.67, because the only fixes that this brings improved communication on the server, at least gave EA.
I understand that fashions make the game more stable, but for me it's an unofficial modification and I feel some resistance to it.
By the way, do you know where to download the update for the Store? I talked to the help of EA and these updates are no longer available through the start program
If I move to another city, both by saving in the library and starting a new game, and choosing to move to a new environment, the game will not remember which adventures I have completed (Egypt, etc.) and I will have to do them from the beginning? I read that the tombs will already bear traces of my activity in them, but the tasks themselves will probably be reset? It's better to move to another city by saving sims in the library right? I have a problem with Bridgeport now that all the Sims from the city are in the work place of Emma Starr and even a traveler went there during Emit when I activated the portal, gave me almanac and instead of giving me this task to collect something there, he got in a car and went there . I discovered it when I started to follow Bonehilda, when she left the coffin. It turned out that she ran there and stood there. Unfortunately, after resetting all the sims one by one they immediately came back with cars.

@MarMarcin Even though mods are third-party content, EA deliberately made them easy to install and use because the company understood that players would enjoy their games more if they could install mods and custom content. That's why mods go into the game folder, rather than program files—EA patched in this simpler setup in 2010. But if you don't want to use mods, I won't mention them again. Just understand that without them, many of these problems you're seeing will appear again, sooner or later.
(By the way, Overwatch doesn't make the game run faster by itself, although it does clean up errors that can slow things down. It's almost always used with ErrorTrap, and together, they help prevent the save from becoming so corrupted over time that it's eventually unplayable. So you might not notice a difference, exactly; it's just that your game wouldn't slow down and glitch out after a couple of generations.)
Anyway, I'm not surprised that Bridgeport is giving your problems. The EA version has routing issues, and sims also tend to get stuck in elevators and the blacked-out sections of apartment buildings, which is where non-player controlled sims go when they're not supposed to be doing anything else. Bridgeport is not as poorly made as Isla Paradiso, but you still might need to rebuild or repair sections of it to make it run better. I'm not sure where the other errors are coming from, but they sound like typical EA glitches to me. For example, the game loves to give out free cheap cars whenever an inactive sim needs to go somewhere, and those cars just build up over time unless they're removed.
If you save your sim family to the bin, start a new save, and place the family there, the connected vacation worlds that those sims have visited will disappear just like the old homeworld does. So the tombs will all be reset. I don't actually know if the game will "remember" which opportunities the sims have completed, but you could always test and find out for yourself. One possibility is that a sim who has completed certain adventures won't be able to do them again, but another sim will.
As for the store content patches, they're no longer offered through the launcher because they're part of the program files for any player on patch 1.69. This thread explains what to do about it:

- As for the mods, you are definitely right, although perhaps the most mods to TS3, which somehow fix it.
Sims, even personalities come to this plot with the cheapest silver car, although they should drive limousines.
If you could give me fashions that might be useful to me, maybe I will decide on them one day? So first and foremost, this one for calling opportunities. And if you could only give this one, I can delete it and it will not destroy games or saved games. I will download them and when I want to use them I will simply paste them where necessary.
Actually, I wanted to live in Isla Paradiso, because there are islands to discover. In total, I lived in this world for a while (different game), and she cut like Bridgeport.
Is there any way to reduce the size of the saved game without 3Spe? The entire recording has a size of 1.13 GB, and one file TravelDB.package 868 MB. Moving to another city using the "Move" option did not reduce the size of the recording, but maybe it will change with the help of the library? @MarMarcin If you move hometowns using the in-game function (i.e. the phone), it makes sense that much of the data from that save will be preserved. The best way to start over is to save your sim family to the in-game bin, save the house itself separately if you want to keep it, and place both in a new save. Make sure to quit to desktop before starting the new save; if you switch at the Main Menu, some data from the old save will transfer into the new one. After you quit and before you start the new save, delete the cache files in your game folder as well.
Another option is to use Save Cleaner to reduce the size of your save files. It's easier to use than S3PE, and will probably do a more thorough job. Here's a discussion of Save Cleaner that you might find helpful, starting with this comment:

The EA version of Isla Paradiso is so poorly made that it's almost unplayable, even for the most powerful computers with the most effective mods. If you want to use it, you can either download ciane's fixed version, or copy the edits she made into your own game. Otherwise, your save will lag and glitch and generally be impossible to play forward after a very short amount of time. You can read ciane's documentation of her work and/or download her fixed version of IP here:

The mod you need to assign opportunities is NRaas MasterController. It's quite useful for the commands it makes available, but it will never do anything on its own—the player has to directly force an action. So there's no reason to remove it; you can just ignore it until you need it again. To assign the omni plant opportunity, click on your sim and then select NRaas > MasterController > Basic > Opportunity: By Category > Gardening > The Omnificent Plant. Make sure that you've cancelled any skill opportunities before you do this, or no new ones will show up.
If you later decide to add mods that specifically prevent glitches and remove corruption from your game, you'll want NRaas ErrorTrap and Overwatch. Register and Traffic are helpful as well—they control the game's Service and Role sims, and the spawning of vehicles, respectively.
- In that case, I will first move to Sunlit Tides, this city probably works best for me. I will also leave the house, I will put only the things I want to keep in my equipment. I want to finish all my adventures to get all the relics of the tombs so that I do not have to do all the missions from the beginning.

I need to find or create a script to delete the TS3 handheld files myself so that I do not have to remember what I can delete and what not. I did not quite understand if I had fashion, I would not be able to delete scriptcache files, right?
Now in Bridgeport, with two Sims and cat and dog, the game is terribly slow, maybe it's all those Sims in the city, and Sunlit Tides works well (I tried to move there with the help of the phone). Best of all, even the postman is on this plot, it's good that around 9 am he delivers parcels to me.
Yes, thank you so much for your help, I write back almost immediately when I write the answer. @MarMarcin You can always delete the cache files in your Sims 3 game folder (in Documents\EA). These files will regenerate each time you load the game, and if you don't delete them regularly, stale data will build up and possibly cause glitches. If you add or remove a mod from your game folder, you need to delete the scriptCache.package file before the next time you play. While deleting the others is optional, it will never hurt your game. Here's the list of cache files again:
- CASPartCache.package
- compositorCache.package
- scriptCache.package
- simCompositorCache.package
- socialCache.package
There are other files that you can delete, if you want, but those five cache files are the most important ones. Here's a list of everything in your game folder:

And I'm glad I could help. If you have any other questions, you know where to find me.
Could you tell me what the collection folder is for? What are these collections?
@MarMarcin Collections are items from build or buy mode that are grouped together, making them easier to find. So instead of having to search through the entire build or buy catalog, you can select one collection and use the items in there. You can also create your own collections for favorite items. The Collections folder holds the files for these groups. Deleting it won't remove the items from your game; it will only remove the groupings.
If you never search through Collections in Build/Buy, then it's safe to delete them. But it's not necessary, as they don't add much to the demands of the game, and the files that come installed with the game are unlikely to become corrupted.
- I have not played with newer game updates so long ago that I have already forgotten about collections. Now I remember, thanks 🙂
If you could tell me that, if I moved to another city, I would lose my holiday homes (if I had them). @MarMarcin Do you mean houses that you've downloaded, or houses that you've built yourself? Any file that is saved to the in-game bin—households, houses, community lots—will also appear in the bin when you start a new save. These files are located in Library inside your game folder. If you want to create a new game folder, just copy over the Library folder, and your content will show up in the game.
If you've built a house in your save that you want to keep, all you have to do is go to Edit Town and save it to the bin.
I wrote it bad, I wanted a holiday home bought in France, for example.
@MarMarcin Don't worry about it; maybe I just read it wrong.
Since your new save will generate a new version of France, your sims won't own that vacation home anymore. But they may still have their visa points, so they could buy the same home again. If you made changes to the original house, you could use Edit Town to edit France and save that house to the bin; then you could place it in that new version of France when you're ready.
- Thanks 🙂 I will have to have a lot of money, because so far the game generated from seven bills for the amount of about 20,000. Interestingly, when there is a message that you have one day to pay bills, the amount is only from one, new bill. How many mistakes Bridgeport now has in this game record is quite amazing.
I wanted to go to the future to win the lottery, but the traveler in time will go to the Emma workplace, so it does not make sense.
