Re: World Adventures Problems

first off do you have any mods ? if so are they updated to your patch level ? is the game updated to 1.55 patch ? is origin updated too ?

1 you must earn visa level 3 before you can buy a house in  china visa level 3 in france to buy a home there and visa level 3 to buy a home in egypt once you have the visa level 3 then there should be an option to buy a vacation home using the sim phone-real estate and travel options or the sims pc

2 do you have a basement ? the nectar ages best in a basement  also use the more expensive nectar rack as that helps too

3   pangu's axe is found in china and can only be accessed by completing an adventure chain  within the temple of heaven

 i'll be back with a link to a guide  that wil help with the axe

4 you can cheat to grow the fruits at the home lot

ctrl+shift+c (hold all three together ) a menu bar will appear at the top of the screen type in testingcheatsenabled true and  again ctrl+shift+c type in buydebug on go to buy mode and go to sort by function click on the ? find the tab plants place the trees and grape plants on your lot turn the cheats off in reverse order ctrl+shift+c  buydebug off  ctrl+shift+c testingcheatsenabled false

p.s also the axe can cause problems  if your going to have the family move do not leave it on the wall or in your sims personal inventory place it in the family inventory before moving

p.p.s.  sometimes the axe can disappear from the sims personall inventory ( the back pack ) again you can use buydebug to get the axe

edit one to add link edit 2 to add p.p.s.

    That definitely answers the housing and axe question, so thank you!

    Yes, my game is up to date for patches, though I didn't do the patches during the time when WA came out so does that matter? And Origin is also updated. I don't do mods on my game, only store content so I don't have issues there. I put them in a basement on nectar racks (i've tried every level of basement to see if maybe that was an issue) still no luck with the aging. The price increases as time goes on but the bottles only ever age in the nectar maker. Which is kind of hard to explain, but when I make nectar, it doesn't start out at week 1, when I'm say 5 weeks into playing my family, it just starts at week 5 when it comes out of the nectar maker but never ages after that.

    thats an odd one allright with the machine hmmm i know mine are week whatever in the machine depending on how long the process takes as i have had my handy sim upgrade the nectar maker to extended nectaration (which does take longer and increases nectar valued at about 10%-15% higher in price  ) which he could do at about level 9 handy skill the only thing i can think of at the moment is to replace the machine

    apoligies i couldn't help you any more than this

    edit to add a p.s.

    the issue of the missing fish and seeds was fixed in a patch ages ago the 1:42 so that should still be fine with the 1:55  BUT if your still having an issue with them not returning with you you can use the buydebug cheat if you have a pond on your lot and place the spawners there not too many spawners at once though or you may mess up your game say one spawner let your sim catch thos efish then replace the spawner with another waht i do once my sim returns form overseas is place the exoctic fish in fish tanks so they will breed place 2 in a tank eventually that will become six once i start getting 3 or 4 fish in the tank i remove 2 and place them in my sims inventory so they won't die DO NOT FORGET TO TURN THE CHEAT OFF as saving a game with cheats on can bork the game use the save as option once you get past each stage also before you use a cheat do a save as this will give you a clean save game should someting go wrong also before you do that make acopy of your saved game to the desktop will be fine as this will also give you a good clean save too
