  1. Hey everibody, I have a big problem in this game, but this only happened once our twice, but it’s really annoying everytime that happen’s, sometimes they froze, I try to change the actions but there is no solution, they just dont move even when I send them, they just stay there whitout doing anything, please help me

  2. I have the original, Ambitions, World Adventures, Pets, Late Night, Generations, and Outdoor Living Stuff. Whenever I try to update (I don’t know which it is but I got the notification of the new update sometime last week, 2012) it gets to the last stage of installing and says ‘Update Error: Invalid File Found’ Does anyone know what’s going on or have the same problem?

  3. Every time I want to go on a holiday, my sims dissapear. It’s so annoying!

  4. I have Ambitions and World Adventures, and world adventures, whenever I travel, I get to a destination, and my sim is not there, at all, and it’s not in the bottom left, and I can’t do ANYTHING, it’s confusing, because I’m not that much of a computer whiz, I just enjoy the game, it’s not a crack, and I’ve tried looking through a bunch of technical support stuff, and still coming up trumps, anyone have any clues?

    • The Same Thing With Me…………………………My Disc Is Old Maybe Thats Why But When You Get There (France,China,Egypt) None Of Your Sims Are There!
      Its So Annoying!

  5. My sim leveled up twice in a row on the martial arts skill – now her only outfit available is a headless martial arts one. Resetsim does not do anything… : (

    Hi to all. i also played sims 3 with complete expansions up to pets and complete stuffs up to town life, but i stopped playing because i cant stand the annoying bugs; like traveling into egypt, progress bar loads completely but the problem is no sim is visible or controllable in my screen, cant go back in my town and the only option that is left for me is to quit my game without saving it.
    So, I figured out the solution and that is QUIT PLAYING SIMS FOREVER cause ea SUCKS.
    So if i were you, stop playing SIMS. EA is laughing at you now because you are all gullible, Playing a fake social game.

    • But before you stopped, you were one of the “gullible” sims players that were supposedly laughed at by EA. I’m sure everyone who plays this realizes that it’s a “fake social game”. I know you’re frustrated but you don’t have to lash out like that. It’s totally unnecessary.

  7. I am a newbie here! I would like to instal chic friends, compress disparate ideas and learn more knowledge. Glimmer at you whim ministry me here!

  8. I had a bug where a family had a fire in the house and the firelady came and put out the fire… then stayed. and stayed. and stayed! She napped on the couch, she ate the family’s food, she used our bathroom and shower for WEEKS. there was no way to interact with her at all, she was just this figure living in the house. I tried to kill her by boxing in an area in the house that she was standing in and setting fire to it. she didn’t die even though she was engulfed in flames! and the worst part was because she was the firelady, i couldn’t call the firemen because she was already there! Crazy! the family had to move out.

    THEN, because he was a celebrity, i had that same problem with a paparazzi person! she would stay in the house, eat the food, use the facilities and take pictures! but we couldn’t talk to her or anything! it was totally crazy.

    NOW, I am trying to get a level 3 visa to france. I can only be in France for about 9 hours before the game totally crashes (like to my desktop with an error message: ‘sims 3 has had an error and has to close’). I have to be very careful and save after every little thing I do or I lose it.

    Anyone know of any patches or anything? This is getting a little ridiculous. I’m considering uninstalling WA.

  9. My sims tool bar is gone. I loved of my sims and I loved back on and my tool bar was gone … can some one help me pleassee?

  10. I have a bug in which whenever I try and take picture with a camera from WA (not sure if its the same thing with the phone camera) it takes the picture, then freezes the sim and the picture doesn’t apear in the picture reel. I have a new Mac (that may answer it right there) with the Lion operating system, updated to the newest patch, and got World Adventures a couple days ago. I can fix it by resetSim but it’s kinda annoying that I can’t take pictures, meaning I can’t do the photography skill and I can’t do certain adventures. Help would be appreciated!

  11. I’m having a problem too!! I have The Sims 3 World Adventures and Late Night. I sent my two newly wedded celebirty couple, on a HoneyMoon Vacation (particularaly China). And when they returned there was TWO of them. One at the corner of town driving in. And one in there apartment lobby! I took the easiest way I thought would work. Going to “Edit Town Mode” and splitting up the household. “Whats the worst thing that could happen?” I thought. But when I returned to the game. There profile image was gone! There was just the empty green box off to the side. But not just that. My Sims where missing too! I’ve had glitches in the past, like the “Error Code: 16″ one. But nothing as twisted and as mind boggling as this.

  12. I had my sim go on a vacation to France. I saved during the vacation for safety purposes in case the game froze. When my sim returned home, there were two of her!! I exited with out saving, and replayed until my sim went home, but the same problem happened. I kicked the duplicate out but then the game started glitching and my sims parents couldn’t talk to anyone and the sims would randomly appear in different places!! Now I’ve tried to install the latest update, which is update 1.24.3.012001, and it almost finishes when an error message pops up that says “error message: Invalid File Found” I’ve tried to install it several times and it keeps saying the same thing. Please help me!!

    • it actually says “Update Error: Invalid File Found”

    • I’m just wondering if you had any response to this because I have the same problem (duplication of character). If so please reply, I’m thinking of using the MoveObjects on cheat to delete the extra character … worrying that this will affect the original: therefore am a little hesitant of this action.

  13. My sim just got back from a holiday in France with a level 2 visa. As soon as he got back there were 2 of him :P
    I don’t mind having a duplicate sim but the visa levels for france were reset :(

    • My Sim came back from france with a twin also!! but I dont want the deplicate!

      • I’m having a problem just like all of you. I own the Sims 3 World Adventures, and Late Night. My Sim couple went on a Vacation (As a Honeymoon…). And when they returned. There where TWO of them also. It wouldn’t let me switch charecters. So I went to Edit Town Mode. And I split up the household. But when I returned to the game, there Profile image was gone. It was just the green box there! … I’ve had other glitches in the past, such as the “Error Code: 16″. But nothing as twisted as this!

      • I’m having a a problem too!! I have The Sims 3 World Adventures and Late Night. I decided to take my two, newly wedded couple on a HoneyMoon Vacation (Particularly China). And when they returned there was TWO of them! So I chose the easy way out. I went to Edit Town Mode – And split up the household from the duplicates. But when I returned to the game. There “Profile Picture” was gone!! It was just the green framed box where there image is!! And I couldn’t see them, and nothing was responding… I’ve had glitches in the past before, such as the “Error Code: 16″ one. But nothing as twisted as this!

  14. Sometimes when I try to take a picture with my Sims they just stand there and when I rightclick on the “Take photo…” action in the action cue nothing happens, and my Sim ends up standing there forever. They won’t even die. I end up having to not save the game.

  15. There’s a World Adventures glitch that makes the time in the game stop for a little while about every 30 seconds. Sims stop, but certain things keep moving like water and trees blowing in the wind. It happens normally at night and I think it only happens in China.”

    • That’s just because there’s a lot happening on screen and in the area your Sim is in; the stopping is just your pc trying to load everything and keeping track of all the Sims around, and with not enough RAM to work with, it will freeze for a few seconds every now and then.

  16. I had my sim go steady with a Chinese sim them broke them up. Now my sim can’t go steady, move in, or propose with any other sim. No commitment issues involved and my sim has full relationship bars with other romantic interests.

  17. It was time to leave but the loading screen didn’t appear. I clicked stuff but nothing shows up, the whole screen went dim, nothing can be clicked and I had to restart the computer. My sims’ motives were depleting. The only thing you could do was watch.

    • Also, I started having problems. Just now. It’s been a few months and I didn’t have any problems until now. I was also playing when all of my sims suddenly disappeared. The parents were able to follow commands but you couldn’t see them, the teen was also invisible but couldn’t follow commands and her motives were also depleting. I decided to “move the lot” and they appeared again, but the same thing happened all over again after a few days. I moved the lot in a different place but then I decided to move into a different home and nothing’s gone wrong yet, but I’m afraid it might happen again.

    • What are your computer specs?

  18. one of the problems iam having with my sims is when i go to egypt and sleep in the tent my sim can no longer come out. they are stuck and theres nothing i can do about it, even wen my vacation is over it will just keep going. ive also had the problem where my mother sim and her toddler get frozen and it only unfrize when the toddler was starving and the social worker came to take her away. ive also noticed another glitch where my sims are doing woohoo and before its done they stop moving under the blanket andare frozen as well.

  20. I have been trying to build a relationship with the French food merchant. She always seems to be on shift. i can’t seem to get past the basic flirting options. why is it that i can’t get the options to ask her to go steady, or woohoo, or any of that. i think there is a bug when it comes to this specific food merchant because she literally never leaves the shop. any suggestions?

  21. I just got this problem a few days ago, my map tags are gone, there is nothing shown when i put the cursor in a place or an item. what happened?

  22. Okay, so I went to holiday in Egypy. When I came back I quit the game and saved it but when I opened it again there were TWO of my characters. So I deleted one but she also had lost most of her friends and all of her foreign friends didn’t show up either. It’s so annoying!!!
