Sims 3 Mac 64 bit and metal

More sims 3 mac errors

  1. Seasons: when it snows the path of snow covered roads cuts through walls and floors. see image attached, the path of the roads is visible even far off on the map cutting through walls.
  2. Showtime: the bands don't spawn when there's supposed to be a show. I haven't tested this in the world that came with Showtime, but it doesn't work at any other world with showtime lots, like the karaoke place, the coffee house or the showtime stage
  3. Showtime: with the Karaoke machine, there is no sound. The animations are correct, the other sims react either positively or negatively to the performer but there is no music and no vocals from the machine.

  • robinbear80  The first is a known issue, and the only workaround is to disable Advanced Rendering, which of course lowers the graphics quality overall, so it's not a great trade-off.  Feel free to post in the master thread if you want:

    [CURRENT ISSUE 64-bit] Walls/floors cut away to display snowy roads | EA Forums - 11185408

    The third has been reported in the 64-bit Mac version before, and I don't know of a workaround.

    The second is an occasional issue in all versions of the game.  One of the causes is the world not having any inactive performers with a high-enough skill level for the venue in question.  So I would test in Starlight Shores, where there are enough sims with the requisite skill to perform at any venue.
