Hi. I recently installed the Sims 3 along with High End Lost Stuff and Ambitions onto my mac mini. Whenever I go to create a sim, it appears all aqua blue. And when I choose a sim that i downloaded from the website’s exchange, it comes out completely black and stays that way even when I play. How can I fix this?

So my character has this wish to move in with his girlfriend. They are both young adults and are currently engaged. I spam my Sim with friendly actions to be done to his girlfriend until the action ‘Ask To Move In’ pops out. When I do ask her to move in, she agrees and the ++ icon appears on top of both their heads. Then both of them suddenly freeze for a second then my Sim pops up around 3 cells away from her and the action ‘Ask To Move In’ is never accomplished. I’ve tried and repeated countless times but I still get the same result. What do I do?

Hi. i have a whole family on the Sims 3. Everytime i tell the mom to do something with the baby (change clothes, feed, teach to walk, talk, ect…) she brings the baby to one spot in the yard everytime. How do i have her just do it where the baby is? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Hi I’m having a quite annoying problem. One of my sims have gotten stuck, I restarted the game but he still stood there frozen and he won’t move or do anything. He’s still standing there and he’s actually supossed to be dead, but since he’s stuck he doesn’t die or disappear etiher. This is really annoying because he’s in the way and he stinks so the other sims in the house gets disgusted every time they’re in the same room.
I only have the usual Sims 3, no expansions or anything.
Any idea how to get rid of him?

  the EXACT same thing happened with one of mine.. She was going to bathe, but I went to cancel the action (I wanted her to use the other bathroom..) and the action is still in the corner with an X through it, and backed up behind that is the force actions, such as “pee self” and “pass-out” that I can’t cancel. But seeing as how the first action sits there with the X, she can’t do anything, including die. She smells, too. My adults are sleeping in the diningroom because she’s in their bedroom just stuck.. I don’t know how to fix this? I’ve restarted the game several times, too.

Hello, I recently started playing The Sims 3 with the Night Life expansion pack. I created a male and he adopted a child and lived in a high rise hotel. I added a fish tank that was place into my inventory ( The fish tank that is in Aquarius. It goes through both sides of the wall and you can see in both rooms ) Now I have fish and bubbles all over my house. I deleted the fish tank, but I cannot get rid of the fish or bubbles floating in the air. I moved my sim out of that appartment and into another one and then moved them back. Once I got back, the fish and bubbles are stull there. Any idea how to fix this?

I have The Sims3 plus Pets. I’m getting what I call a 6th bar glith. It started when I added a unicorn to my household. (filling up my pets to the maximum of 6) It got thirsty to the point of its bar going red than disappearing. Now when I toggle between my pets and my character, their 6th needs bar is simply gone, whether its thirst for the horses, or fun for my sim…

Hi. I bought a bed side table for my sim but when I go to put something on top, it goes underneath so you cant see it. Same with table and chairs, what do I do?
- Lee | October 23, 2011 at 5:20 PM
  
  Have you updated your game since Sims 3: Pets have been released?

Hey, so I think I saw this glitch on the list before, but I can’t find it anymore. D:

Anyway, for some reason all of a sudden my sim’s house has disappeared. The game is stuck on the family I last played, but the sim just floats there and I can’t cancel any actions or zoom in and out or go up or downstairs. So I try and switch to a different family in the same neighbourhood but it won’t let me, it just goes back to the family it loaded first. I switch to another neighbourhood altogether and the same thing happens.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Because it was fine the first months I bought it, but it just started doing this recently.

my teenage sim always has the negative moodlet ‘hunted’ even tho there is no vampire on the lot! its been like that for about a week, well sim week.

  It could be the Magical Vampire Gnome, it looks like a, well, a vampire gnome. It makes all non-vampires without the Brave Trait have the hunted moodlet.
