    Viewers in front of empty Showtime Stage

    February 18, 2014 /

    Problem My sims cheer at SimFests but there’s no one on Stage Cause This issue occurs if your town doesn’t have enough Singers, Magicians and acrobats. The game creates them but the StoryProgression mod and Overwatch removes them from the game since they are homeless. The game still does the SimFests, there’s just no one to perform. Solution Make sure that there’s inactives in Showtime careers but this bug doesn’t do anything bad other than looking weird.

    Wrong or No SimPort stamp

    February 17, 2014 /

    Problem After sending my Sim through SimPort, I got the wrong stamp After sending my Sim through SimPort, I got no stamp at all. Cause The Simmer that asks to Simport defines what kind of Stamp you’ll get. Because of this, it can happen that you only get a level 5 stamp for your magician that has level 10 since the Simmer that asked needs a Stamp for Level 5 You always get the same Stamp as your partner. If you already have that one, you won’t get one. Other reasons for not getting a Stamp are problems with the…
