Petite Alsace collaboration - Open for participation!
Happy New Year and welcome to another Sims 3 community collaboration hosted by Hidehi2 , Sandraelle and soocoolsim ! Introducing Petite Alsace inspired by picturesque Strasbourg, Colmar and Ribeauville with a dual French and German blend of charming, flower-laden villages and half-timbered homes. We anticipate the completed world will be a lovely addition to your game. Experienced creators (Intermediate+) are invited to join us in creating builds to add to the base world. If you love decorating but building isn’t your forte, let us know and we'll try to build a shell for you. Everyone can experience Petite Alsace taking shape by downloading the base world and installing builds as they become available. Please keep an eye on the "News and Updates" post for milestones and links to new creations as they become available. Constructive comments throughout this event are also welcome, so don't be shy. Without further ado, onto the details below and come join in the fun! LOT LISTINGS Map A: Colmar (Medieval, half-timbered houses with flower-filled balconies) Map B: Ribeauville (Pastel, half-timbered 15th - 18th century houses) Map C: Ribeauville Outskirts (Farming area) Map D: Strasbourg (City area, mix of old and new buildings) Map E: Avenue du Rhin (Wine region) Map F: Route de Alsace (Rural area) CLAIMING OVERVIEW Download the empty Petite Alsace base world created by the talented Hidehi2. Take a look at the available lots using the Map posts as reference (see links above). Indicate you're on board and sign up for your first claim by replying on this thread with your chosen map lot reference # (eg A8). I will update the lists with claims and add download / media links when builds are completed. Every two weeks (around the 1st and 15th of the month) a new claiming period starting with a 'Claiming Day' post will begin. During this period, if you join the collaboration or have a build in progress on Claiming Day, you can claim 1 lot. For ongoing participants, if all previously claimed builds are completed and (no cc) download link(s) submitted by Claiming Day, you may claim up to 2 lots. BUILDING GUIDELINES Please stay within the theme of each map area and overall Alsace inspiration. You have creative freedom otherwise. Inspiration links at the top of this post may be helpful. All / any EA Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and official Store Items can be used. Free EA Store Items are OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion. NO third-party Custom Content is allowed. Please Custard Check your exported file before uploading to double check. We highly recommend play-testing your build before uploading to ensure no routing concerns and users can enjoy as intended. Do test placement of your final build. This helps identify any potential issues (e.g. windows / floor tiles out of place). To do this... export your build, save your game, delete the existing build, then replace with the exported version from your library. Take a careful look around and fix as needed. It will be useful for players if the Petite Alsace lot address is included in your build description on the Exchange, albeit optional. Do take the time to put your best foot forward to make your build(s) shine inside and out. Just be cautious about using a ton of clutter since that can add to lag when playing. Each build will be showcased with credit in video walkthroughs on YouTube once the world is completed. Once your build is available on the Sims 3 Exchange, please post a reply on this thread including: name of build / map reference and/or address / download link / cover picture / custard screenshot confirming no 3rd party custom content included. Optional! Link to additional picture site / thread. SIMS / HOUSEHOLDS This collaboration focuses on builds since the final world save file will be unpopulated, however we are happy to link to Sims / Households created for Petite Alsace. Petite Alsace builders can submit Sims / Households for their completed claims as well as Townie use. All / any EA Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and official Store Items can be used. Free EA Store Items are OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion. NO third-party Custom Content is allowed.

[RL] Royal Robber and Info Broker scandals not spawning/become unknown
So I've done Anasis trials, Im friends with all the nobles, Fia and Connie Fidential. Im on the last stage of the Social Puppeteer aspiration but when I go to ask about scandal for Fia or Connie all I get are generic ones or No scandals are available. Ive already asked about the info broker and Royal robber, I know its at Ye Olde Voyager that I need to be at but I can't complete the aspiration. Ive tried to hack and buy secrets but same as above when asking for them. I've checked Cordelia and Connie's relationships so they are friends with their respective people but still no required scandal. Is this a common issue? Edit By crinrict: Added pack tag to title. Moved to bugsRunaway pet won't come back!
Hello, my in-game cat ran away and I have been playing for about a month (IRL time) without the cat. I posted the bulletin and everything. I have read that if you save the game while the pet is missing, it won't come back. I also saw another post on here about solving the issue; however, when I click to view the instructions on the EA website, it says I don't have access to this page. Can someone help?
Clean up Books doesn’t work
When I click clean up books one to two things happens. The action never queues or The action queues, my sim picks up a book, and then immediately put the book back down and just moves on like nothing happened. If my sim does it autonomously sometimes they will put one book away. Same goes for Butlers, Maids, and other NPCs. I’ve been having this issue for a long time now and I’m not sure when I noticed it the first time. Windows 10, DX9, Game is up to date minus the latest patch (I heard there were some gallery issues and I didn’t want to risk it), And my PC is completely up to date (I am also enrolled in the extended updates).
[GRO] [RL] Multiple milestones for kissing noble Frog
Hello, new milestone: noble frog kiss, sometimes it creates multiple times for me, even if I kiss only one frog. It doesn't matter if it's found in nature, bought in construction mode or created with a cheat via shift. Don't know what to do with it. Edit By crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title[GALLERY] 'Content not installed' warning with all content owned
I haven’t played this specific save in a few years. I made some changes to my sims’ house and lot, and saved it to my library. I then demolished a different lot, and when I tried to place my sims’ lot from the library, I get a message saying content is not installed and that I don’t own all the content. I own almost all DLC, and I own the content used in my sims’ house/lot. I’ve never used mods/cc on this save. I’ve tried repairing the game, and then saved the lot to my library again, and deleting the previous saved copy. I still get the same message when trying to place the lot from my library on a different lot. It’s a recent issue, I didn’t have any problems a few days ago on a different save. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
[FFQE] Feminine Fashion tagged as Masculine
(Re reporting from collection thread) Hi there, some assets in the forever friends event are mistakenly tagged as masculine fashion. Considering it is a recolour of the Spa Day top (which is tagged for feminine sims only) i believe this is a mistake. Thankies!
[GT] Adults and fans wear everyday clothes to dance party instead of party wear
Issue Description: When a Sim receives a phone call inviting them to a dance party at the Chateau, only Young Adult Sims arrive wearing their proper party wear outfits. Adult Sims show up dressed in their everyday clothing instead of party attire. This occurs consistently every time the event is attended. Expected Behavior: All Sims attending a dance party — regardless of age (Young Adult or Adult) — should wear their assigned party wear outfits. The event is specifically a "dance party," and party attire is the appropriate dress code. Steps to Reproduce: Have a Sim receive a phone call inviting them to a dance party at the Chateau (requires Get Together EP). Accept the invitation and travel to the Chateau lot. Observe the outfits of attending NPC Sims. Compare Young Adult Sims versus Adult Sims. Actual Result: Young Adult NPC Sims: Wear correct party wear outfits. Adult NPC Sims: Wear everyday clothing instead of party wear. The player's active Sim also arrives in everyday clothing and must manually change into party wear. Additional Notes: A 2017 patch (Patch 1.37.35) claimed to fix dance party outfits, noting: "Sims that show-up for Dance related events (such as Dance Party, Party at the Bluffs, or similar) will now show-up wearing the outfit they have in their Party category" . This patch may have only partially fixed the issue, affecting Young Adults but not Adults. Patch 1.37.35 – Crinrict's Sims 4 Help Blog This appears to be an age-specific oversight in the outfit assignment logic for dance party situations. Impact: Breaks immersion for players who expect appropriate party attire at social events. Adult Sims look out of place at dance parties, and the inconsistency between age groups makes the issue more noticeable and frustrating.[CL] Checking in at Myshuno Meadows doesn't count as checking in at a park
Working in the Social Media career, my sim got the assignment to Check In at a Park. She went to Myshuno Meadows at the start of a date there, but I didn't notice the assignment wasn't ticked off until after the date was over. I had her go back and check in again, just in case something had canceled her previous check in, but still the assignment wasn't completed. Addendum: Checking in at Magnolia Blossom park did complete the assignment.
