Tiberium
My sim in the Science career got an opportunity to collect some tiberium and take it to work. The task is called "What is this ... Tiberium?" This is a gemstone found in Al Simhara. My sim successfully collected one and one spare and brought them back, but now I have been reading online that it can be poisonous if kept in the inventory, grows if placed on the lot ... What happens if it is stored in a chest? Is the poisoning and growing true? Should my sim get rid of the spare? The description on it when hovering over it says something about the 'potentially dangerous side effects', however my sim who carried it home didn't experience anything or any moodlet from it.
Houseboat can sail normally in Sunset Valley but cannot dock / return to port
Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a strange houseboat docking issue in Sunset Valley and I’ve exhausted nearly all troubleshooting steps. When I choose “Dock to Port” or “Return to Port,” the houseboat sails toward the dock normally, but once it reaches the edge of the blue gangway docking zone, it stops. The docking animation never completes, the hull ladder does not deploy, and my Sim starts doing the foot-stomping animation as if something is blocking the path. There is nothing visibly obstructing the port or shoreline. The boat consistently stops at the same edge of the blue docking zone every time. Ports place without issues. Houseboats place correctly. Sailing in open water works perfectly. The boat can leave shore without any problem. This appears to be specifically a docking interaction failure, not a general routing issue. I have tested extensively. I placed ports farther into deep ocean. I tested completely straight docking approaches. I used smaller houseboats on 64x40 lots. I tested both EA premade houseboats and downloaded houseboats. I built ports in multiple locations near Old Pier Beach and Recurve Strand. I confirmed I did not use moveobjects when placing gangways. I tested multiple port widths. I even teleported the boat directly next to the port for testing. The result is always identical. The boat stops at the blue docking zone and will not complete docking. To narrow this down further, I tested the exact same setup in Sunlit Tides. The water there is actually shallower than Sunset Valley, yet docking works perfectly in Sunlit Tides. However, I created a brand new Sunset Valley save and docking still fails in exactly the same way. To completely rule out mods, I renamed my entire “The Sims 3” folder so the game generated a completely fresh user folder with no mods. I started a brand new Sunset Valley save and tested docking again. The issue still occurs exactly the same way. So this does not appear to be water depth, port placement, boat size, shoreline clearance, or mod related. Docking works in Sunlit Tides but fails in Sunset Valley, even in brand new saves with no mods installed. Has anyone encountered world-specific docking behavior like this before?
Question: Could the World Lucky Palms be added for Black Friday Special?
Hello EA Team, I had a few questions regarding your Black Friday Sale. I wanted to purchase a world in Sims 3 (Lucky Palms) but it's not on the EA App but other worlds are and currently Lucky Palms on the Sims 3 app is titled for $30+ even though other worlds such as Hidden Springs or even the Worlds Bundle is at $9.99. Given that Sims 3 is no longer active and creating new development the focus is more on Sims 4 is there a way that world could be added on the EA App and if there would be a discount for Black Friday? I have also included screenshot to show how Lucky Palms would still charge $20-$30+ when Roaring Heights has a sale for $9.99 or $17.49 on the EA App for Black Friday.
I wish we had all of the worlds from that one community vote.
Do you remember Lunar Lakes? We actually got it from a community vote. Maybe it's just me, but I would've preferred both Route 66 and the enchanted forest to win, and it's a shame they never made the worlds. I always wondered why no one has made a custom world based on the other community vote options, I would LOVE to see them all be done. Just an idea though.
Do you know the name of the "Floor Skeleton" in the CAW map mode?
I'm currently working on a new creepy world for the Sims 3. I wanted to use the floor skeleton on the map, especially near some of the abandoned buildings. I remember it being called "Dig Site Remains" under Environment objects tag. I click on that through, but it turned out, it was not it. Is this just an example of the Mandala Effect, and it was never something that was meant to be placed outside of the lots or am I just not remembering what its called in the map mode? I know where to find the "floor skeleton" in the buydebug menu, but I don't want to have place extra lots, just to place multiple extra ones on the map. Its hard enough not for me to go overboard with the number of lots in a world, and I'm already slightly over one hundred. I'll be thankfully to anyone who can help me find this, or if its not in map mode, and I have a faulty memory, please let me know that as well. Here's a picture of what it looks like when placed on a lot, in case you don't know what I'm talking about. It comes with World Adventures.
