    Certain areas seem to be locked to Sims

    February 18, 2014 /

    Problem My Sim can’t use certain areas anymore. They wave and yell as if something was in the way. I can’t see a thing. My game is full of gray ovals/circles. Cause The game creates a temporary object when Sims (or animals) are interacting with each other. Those are so called SocialJigs and they have the purpose to lock the area during interaction so that others Sims/Animals don’t try to squeeze between interacting Sims. Once the interaction is over, these objects are supposed to get deleted from the game. This doesn’t happen in a lot of cases and some areas…

    Sim needs forever to complete a task

    February 18, 2014 /

    Problem My Sim needs about 1-2 Sim-Hours to complete any interaction. Doesn’t matter if it is changing clothing, go to work or take a shower. Cause This problem is directly related to lags in your game. The slower your game, the longer the Sims need to complete an interaction. The problem most often occurs on Computers with low RAM.

    Option Move-In not appearing

    February 17, 2014 /

    Problem I’ve tried so many things but the option move in never shows up. Solution Try to only choose interactions from the Friendly menu. Do as many interactions from the menu as possible without changing the category. Other possibility is that you already have 8 people living in your house or one is pregnant which would fill the quota.

    Sim can’t marry

    February 15, 2014 /

    Problem My Sim can’t marry although he’s already in a steady relationship and the relationship is all the way up. Solution If you already have 8 Sims on your lot (or a pregnant Sim that could fill it to 8) and your fiancé is not living with you yet, then you can’t get married. The game assumes that the new Sim is moving in with you and not that you move in with the other Sim.

    Social Interactions are missing

    March 17, 2011 /

    Problem When I click on a Sim to interact with him there’s only the option mean or no options at all. Cause This problem is caused by incompatible Mods/Hacks that change anything about the social interactions (list not conclusive) “Ask if Single” changed to Friendly interaction (AskIfSingleIsFriendly.package) Teenage Woohoo in irgendeiner Form Same Sex Pregnancy (SameSexPregnancy.package) Autonomous WooHoo + Try for Baby (woohooOnly.package, woohoobaby.package) Autonomous Romantic Socials – TYAE – Same Sex (AutoRomanticSocials.package) In some cases, especially since Patch 1.21/1.22/GEN it’s not possible to interact with single Sims. In those cases an occurrence of an error probably fried the whole…
