@Becca - I've read that child sims can't die (this goes for all the younger ages). It's much more likely that she was taken by the social worker while you were away.

My own dumb question = Has anyone tried to stock a pond on their home lot with fish yet? If so, do they reproduce, improve quality, or anything? Do you have to feed them?

Did you put the serving platter in the Sim's inventory? It needs to be in the inventory in order to finish the opportunity. Every group meal opportunity I've had so far just required a serving platter of the food in question.

How do I change my sims' clothings? I looked around sunset valley but I couldnt find a clothing store.. if it even exists.

lazzybum, just go to the dresser and "Plan Outfit" -- your Sims now have access to all clothes for their gender/lifestage, but you can only store three outfits per outfit type.

Just a question I asked myself as I'm playing on a french version : does the guitar song learnable starting level 5 have a french name as I suspect it (i.e. "oui Madame, je le veux") ?

If so, this would be one of the things that made me laugh the most during the game.

If not, it would be a shame, as "oui Madame, je le veux" could be an excellent answer to the famous question "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir ?".

Can you change the thickness of stubble?

Also, why do we have two stupid question threads?

1. You know how if you have for example a slob sim, then any cleaning interaction will have a no sign over the slob icon becuase cleaning is against their personality. The thing that's been bugging me is why does my easily impressed woman have the no icon if I use the drawer to change her clothing?
She doesn't have it if I click her and use change outfit.

2. One of my sims wanted to see the cooking channel. So I brought them a tv, but there's no cooking channel in it. I later did see the cooking channel in the tv in the gym. But never had it in the tv at their house. Also I'v heared rumours about a channel that teaches you handiness, but have seen nothing.

3. The game tips that come when you are in the loading screen talked about free classes. So far the only classes my sims have taken is normal priced and the discount classes from the paper. Where are the free classes? and is it always the same or does it rotate?

I can't get Riverview to install on my game. Every time I click the install button for it on the EA download thing it loads up and then just disappears off the screen. Does anyone else have this problem?

My stupid question is --

Who is Lolita Goth? It's bugging me badly.

I think that shes Gunther's ex-wife. O.O'

i think Lolita is dead...i think i saw a grave named : Lolita Goth

Okay, here's a question: Do toddlers still have the ability to escape from their cribs? Honestly, I used to rely on this method of letting them loose when the parents were busy not-dying, and the kid screamed to get free.

Toddlers could escape from their cribs before?!!! I never even knew that! lol


Also how do you make cookies? What catagory is it under because I just got the oppurtunity where you have to make cookies. So how do I make cookies?

you need to discover the recipes yourself...
i can't make cookies either...i didn know that was i didn have the ingrediants or i didn't know the recipe!

OK does any one know how I can discover it?

Emily, there's a recipe for cookies at the bookstore. Or you can watch the cooking channel on TV and hope to learn it that way.

Does anyone know if it's possible while playing a game to stop playing the first family you made and make another family and play them in the same neighborhood? (If that made sense)

Can you play two created families in the same neighborhood?

anyone know why all my hair keeps disappearing off my sims heads?? its driving me crazy!

Stacyy, you already have a post with that question. Please don't multi-post.

Omgzyulia, you can switch families using the "Edit Town" option (available under the ...). This includes adding multiple CAS-created families to the neighborhood and then switching between them.

Yes, but drastic changes will happen to the family you aren't playing, they might quit their jobs, they might move out of town never to be heard from again.

If u buy it direct download from EA you can install it on 3 comps. try and do it on more than that and you have to connect online thru the EADM EVERYTIME you want to play...learnt that he hard way wi TS2

I have a wee question, can we not have custom paintings like in TS2? I got ma choons in fine but I dina think we can have oor fotis as pics

sorry mangaroo i was very busy and for some reason couldn't find my previous post & thought it got deleted.
thanks though.

Edit// No one has even responded to that thread haha.
I guess no one knows of an answer. That sucks!

I think it's just a glitch..sometimes the npcs bodies dissapear in my games, it's so wierd to see a head floating about and a pair of feet lol! Luckily it hasni happened to a sim I'm playing with. Have u tried changing appearance in the mirror? I dunno what else to suggest.

Does anyone know if the gems and stuff that you find mature in value over time?

Do maids and babysitters and paper delivery children age?

When do sims age, I don;t think it happens at 6 pm like it did in sim2. Also is it different for the different ages?
