Nice forums to have pop ups to help me when I made my thread, that's a first! Anyway, I have the complete collection and have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, here is what I'd like to know. I played the original sims, with a few expansions, but never all of them at once.1. Cockroaches- I'd rather do without them. It is not fun spraying them, even if just ONE thing is dirty it seems (like not flushing/cleaning a toilet after every time a sim uses it, I'd think they'd flush it automatically) they will appear. Sometimes my sims will go WAY out anywhere in the lot/yard to spray them, which is a HUGE waste of time. I wonder if there is a mod that can get rid of them.2. Water- why is it EVERY time I use the bath, water appears on the floor? Even if it's not broken? 3. Repairs- a couple of things break constantly like sinks.4. Relationships- Hot Date added the daily and lifetime relationships bars. Why is it the daily is easy to raise, but lifetime can be very hard to raise? With Bella Goth it was easy to get the daily and lifetime bars up. But with Brad, I couldn't make him a friend until I got the daily to 100 and the lifetime is still stuck around 15. Interests is another thing the original sims didn't have, which can be annoying when you just want to talk and it impacts negatively on the person. I've read several cheats, but none that can stop/modify the relationship points. Just now though I'm adding to this paragraph I can invite someone to dinner and since time doesn't pass on my house lot the same as it does when out in town, I can get relationship points without spending time. Still a relationship cheat would be nice. If you have the heart relationship icon, and someone else sees you do something intimate with that person, they react negatively I know, they should add a cheat- polygamy 🙂5. Free will- this happened in the original sims as well. I read a trick to go to work late stand in front of the car and have free will turned off, even though I did have free will turned off eventually my sim moved out of the way. They also do other things automatically even with it off. What's the point of having the ability to switch it if they will do things automatically anyway, even if it is on or off?6. My mouse pointer disappears sometimes while calling neighbors on the phone 7. Missing social interactions, back rub etc. Do you only get just one chance to propose marriage/have a baby to another sim? (as you did in the original?) if you don't use it (whether they accept it on not, you never get it again?

So The Sims Complete Collection? I have The Sims Deluxe Edition and all the expansions installed (although I haven't been on it for a while), so I will try to answer these as best as possible.1. The cockroaches do not seem very common in my version, they only appear every now and then when there is a huge mess (For Example: My sims eating out of a can of food and leaving it on the floor). I am not sure if there is a mod for getting rid of cockroaches, but you can check Sim download sites online possibly Sims Resource.2. This one is inevitable it seems. There is little or none at all when the floor is complete (Tile, Carpet, etc), but when on ground the water stretches into puddles usually covering most of the room.3. Repairs is also inevitable, for me the only thing that constantly breaks the most is the toilet or the computer.4. I'm not sure of this one, I never delved into daily/lifetime relationship bars for Hot Date or celebrity status Superstar.5. If I remember this one correctly The Sims despite not having free will, will try to satisfy their needs after it reaches a certain low point. I've only messed with this option a few times, regardless I decided to give my Sims free will because they will leave their spot I tasked them to.6. Haven't run into this problem, I just get the typical mouse icon with the light/star/flash on the tip of it.7. The social interactions is odd though, I have all of the interactions intact (are the Sims relationship levels high?). I don't know about asking marriage more than once, although having kids I get the option every now and then. You can always try the Love Bed and see if you can get the interaction again.I'm not sure about the complete collections since I have the expansion packs and stuff packs on every version (2, 3, 4), but my guess that with the Complete Collections they try merge all expansions and fix any loose ends or bugs before moving onto the next game. It could also be the Operating System or the hardware on your computer that may also affect the game.

Sims 1 complete collection, have several questions, maybe you'd like to know,

Nice forums to have pop ups to help me when I made my thread, that's a first! Anyway, I have the complete collection and have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, here is what I'd like to know. I played the original sims, with a few expansions, but never all of them at once.

2. Water- why is it EVERY time I use the bath, water appears on the floor? Even if it's not broken?

3. Repairs- a couple of things break constantly like sinks.

4. Relationships- Hot Date added the daily and lifetime relationships bars. Why is it the daily is easy to raise, but lifetime can be very hard to raise?
