Missing Objects Warning after travelling from University
Hello! If anyone could help with this I'd be really appreciative! I recently got the University Life expansion. After my Sim had finished their semester they tried to return home and I was met with the Missing Objects Warning: Some objects could not be loaded and were replaced. The UI is completely blank, no sims, no money etc. The house my sim and her family were in is still there with the extension I built, however her family is not there or in the UI. I've also tried her dropping out of university instead of travelling home when the semester ends however the same thing happens. If I go to edit town and then back out of it, it takes me to the game setup page as if I have opened a new file to make a new save with new family etc. My family is in my library however how they started where the sim I had at university is a child I have tried the following steps found on another forum post: Empty out your sims' inventories as much as is reasonable. Having a few items is fine, but not much more. Save the game immediately before you want your sims to travel. Exit to the Main Menu and lower all the graphics settings to the minimum. Turn off the in-game shopping experience and the interactive loading screens as well, then quit to desktop. Delete the five cache files in your user folder (listed above) again. Take your computer completely offline. You can sign in and put Origin in offline mode before disconnecting your computer and launching the game. Disable the Origin in-game overlay as well. Load the game, and once the clock has run for a few sim-minutes, send your sims traveling right away. Once they arrive in their destination, use "save as" to rename the save, then quit. If you want, you can first exit to the Main Menu and raise the graphics settings again, but be sure to quit to desktop before reloading the save. However this has not worked, still getting the missing items warning. I have also tried creating a clean The Sims 3 folder in the Electronic Arts folder and copying my save into the new folder. Hasn't worked. Also tried resetSim * and resetSim mysimsname, hasn't worked. I have the following installed: Expansions: World Adventures Ambitions Late Night Generations Pets Seasons University Life Island Paradise Stuff Packs: High End Loft Town Life Outdoor Living Master Suite I did have the following NRaas Mods however have tried removing them after the first couple times of this bug. Even with mods removed it still happens: Story Progression & Story Progression Extra Woohooer More Toddler Interactions I have no custom content! Let me know if you need any other info about my game, thanks in advance :)
High School Graduation
Recently have gotten back into playing Sims 3. I have played multiple saves and multiple families. And every family with teens, I've had issues with graduating from high school. I've played with and without mods. Regardless of what I try I cant get graduation to pop up. I know it happens after the teen ages up and usually happens on the weekend. I've tried googling for help but have had no success. Is it a lost cause or is there something that will fix it. Everything else that happens at city hall seems to work fine. I just don't wanna keep having my teens not graduate. Can anyone help. Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need more info. Sorry if this problem is posted already.Mac version: Sims 3 launcher crashes
I have Sims 3 Mac 64 bit and metal. The launcher crashes when the game boots up, but the game will still boot up and run. The launcher also crashes if the "downloads" or "uploads" button is pressed. I've been experiencing this issue for awhile. I have emptied the cache on the EA app, I have emptied the Sims 3 folder, then reopened the game and painstakingly added back mods, saves and store content. I've been able to add store content by clicking the dots at the bottom of the launcher and downloading each store content item individually. However, my cc doesn't show up here. So I can't reinstall my CC. I have contacted EA and I keep getting AI responses with tips articles for Playstation, or graphics issues. Their AI assistants really don't work very well. Anyway- any tips for getting downloads to work, or for the launcher to not crash? (I even sent them full Apple crash reports. They seriously don't care) thanks.
Game closes on its own
Hello, I've been having this issue for over a year now so I had stopped playing but I tried again on my MacBook Pro and The Sims 3 still closes on its own within 5 minutes of me playing. I can't log in with my account on the main menu and the launcher now crashes with a crash report when I launch the game or when I click any tab that isn't the play button. Here are my game and Mac specs if neededIssues with audio and aspect ratio
I was able to get The Sims 3 installed but when I go to launch the game I created by cracking audio and a squished 1920x1080. The only way i've found to fix the aspect ratio is to minimize the game and go to my Mac's settings to click on the 1920x1080 button on the display tab then go back to the game each time I start it up. I can't get the audio to sound better though. Does anyone have any suggestions?
