MacOS menu bar is showing while I'm in fullscreen mode Sims 3
A few days ago I pressed by F3 key while on sims 3 because I wanted to look at other desktop real quick. After I did that my Sims 3 game went into a "windowed" mode (I made it back fullscreen after) but it's still been showing a grey bar ever since and it's really frustrating to play with that. I included some screenshots showing when it was in fullscreen (no grey menu bar), in fullscreen showing a menu bar, and windowed more showing 2 menu bars Things I've tried that didn't work (I'm also on M5 Air with Tahoe 26.4.1 if that helps): Matching my Mac display settings with ALL the display settings Sims 3 has Setting my Mac settings: "automatically hide and show the menu bar" to "in full screen only" and also enabling "displays have separate spaces" I tried the cmd+enter and option+enter (or f can't really remember), and when I do that I go back to actual windowed mode, but this time another grey menu bar pops up on top of the previous one. When this happens, I press the keys again and it takes me back to fullscreen, but still showing the menu bar. :/ Also I tried to simultaneously change my displays while in windowed and fullscreen and it doesn't do anything Tried to readjust my options.ini setting fullscreen to 0, then back to 1. Also trashed it so the game generates a new one. Repaired Sims 3, uninstalled sims 3 and the EA app + deleting cache files Deleting TS3 folder Making a new user account on my Mac, restarting, turning on and off
how do i freely rotate products in build mode?
I've looked online and it says to switch to sims 3 camera and hold down alt key this doesn't seem to be working for me on my laptop it just keeps showing me a symbol that looks like a camera and moving tool but doesn't do anything not seeing the grab hand everyone else seems to have? is there another way or what can i do please :)
Missing townie taking up a "want"
My sim wants to complete an action with a townie named Seth. I cannot find Seth anywhere. He is not in my relationship tab, not available to call or invite over. He's not in the Manage Households menu, even the "not in world" ones. I cannot summon him with cheats since I do not know his last name. I have even googled townies and have not found him, so he must be a randomly generated one. I play on the Xbox. How can I find or locate Seth? He also just recently turned into a ghost in my want bubble, so I wonder if he was "culled" by the game? If so, how can I remove the want?
2 Zhaleh Amani’s in Game
I have never installed mods and I have 2 Zhaleh Amani's in my game. I repaired my game and she didn't get deleted unfortunately. I was hoping that this latest April 2026 update would help, but it didn’t fix it either. I saw someone else post this but they deleted their mods and got it fixed. Again I don’t have mods so that won’t work for me :/ Is this happening for anyone else?
