Have you ever had one of those DUH moments?

Yup. I had pulled my tray folder out. I went to add some sims to the tray and when I went into game, they weren't showing up. They weren't showing up because I unzipped them into the old tray folder, not the one in my sims folder.

edit: Not congratulating you on the grandbaby was an oversight. How exciting!

I seem to frequently forget to add bathrooms to houses. It's only when I start screaming at my SIM to go to the toilet that I realise there isn't one :tongue:

Congrats, btw!

Or you forget to add a door to the room, I'm always doing this too. lol

Thank you. :)

I play on both my desktop and my laptop. And I was transferring saves from my desktop to my laptop (cause I like playing the same game on both computers). I used a USB to do it to begin with. And I would shut down my desktop and go to my bedroom and load up my laptop, get it set up on its table, and load up sims....

Only to realize, I forgot to save my save to the USB to begin with. I went thru exiting my desktop, starting my laptop AND starting the game, only to FINALLY realize I forgot to save to USB.

So, I'd have to go back to the office, turn on my desktop, save my save to the USB, shut down, and then upload the save to the laptop.

I've since started using OneDrive to transfer my saves between them. It's much easier for me to remember. As soon as I shut my game down on my desktop, I open my pinned tab of OneDrive, upload my newest save, once that's done, it's a simple matter of downloading from my pinned tab on my laptop.

I do, every now and then, forget to download my save and I'll start up the game on my laptop... only to D'oh! when I get to the main menu, have to shut down, download my save, and start again.

I'm sure I have D'oh moments in game, too, but this one is the main one that popped in my head.

hahaha i once spent 10 minutes trying to invite someone to my household, not realizing they were in distance.

My DUH moment was when I'm suspicious that my Sims household has a secret slob trait because the bin inside the house was piled up. But, I just forgot to place a bigger bin outside :|

I am forgetful in putting bathrooms and stairs in my builds. I get almost done then have to rearrange everything to make it fit!

One time i cried forever because my mods and cc stopped working. :'( But then, i spent a long time trying to reinstall it all... Only to find mods and cc were disabled in game settings :tongue:

I once tried to make my Sim water plants in the rain.

:neutral:

A few weeks ago, when I restarted the game for the first time after not playing it at all for months, I panicked because it would crash right after the logos. I tried everything, repaired the game and, when that didn't work, even reinstalled the entire thing (yes, including all expansions!)... only to discover that the problem was an outdated mod. :s The very thing everyone tells you to remove, at least temporarily, after a new patch, and there had been several new patches throughout the months I didn't play, yet it somehow never occurred to me to just, you know, check if my mods are still up to date. :D

In my defence, though...
1) I had no idea an outdated mod could have such power. I knew they could cause problems, but not that they could stop the entire game from even launching.
2) I just had my computer fixed after an unexplained boot failure, a new harddrive was added in the process, some data was moved around, and I was convinced that this was causing the problem.

Be that as it may... Nothing like this will happen to me again anytime soon. :D
