[QUOTE=dvondrake;38550118]Grr, can't get abducted. From what I can tell you're supposed to have a high logic skill, be carrying a bunch of space rocks/moonstone, and be using the telescope at night, but it isn't working. Been doing this every night for like 2 weeks and Picard still hasn't been abducted yet. He needs to make first contact. :( Has anyone had any success with being abducted? From the sounds of it, it's way more rare an occurrence than it should be.[/QUOTE] I had 6 space rocks on my lot, and two in my inventory. I used the telescope every night between 11 and 3. It took about 8 days to get abducted. Now I am trying to just get a visit so I can befriend an alien, to get him to join my household. Summer has already ended and I still haven't gotten a visit... This is really annoying me.

So my sim decided it was a good idea to swim all the way around Bridgeport at 100in the morning to get back home.

MY god, my Bridgeport is fuckin' infested with zombies. I stumble into them on every corner, it's annoying as shit.

Got Sims 3 and every EP up to Supernatural up, spent 32 hours playing. Haven't done that since Makin Magic. But my First Sim had to be deleted, she got knocked up, and stuck in an endless loop at the hospital, goes in to deliver, only to appear outside, to try again, and so on, so forth.

After playing certain saves for long times, my sims start to become invisible. What's up with that?

My dogs been making me richer, one giant space rock at a time.

This can happen from using the same save over an over. This is why I never save over an existing save and I make a new one every time.

Is there any way to turn zombies back earlier than the two days they spend being zombies? As said, Bridgeport is full of fucking zombies. One of them even bit my Sim, and two days of being a zombie terribleness followed. IT SPREADS

I decided to build a house and stick 8 random Sims in on high free will to see what they do The house: [IMG]http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk301/m-ant/Sims%203/Screenshot-58.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/14vkadc.jpg[/IMG] All they do is skinny dip and eat tofu dogs at 5am [IMG]http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk301/m-ant/Sims%203/Screenshot-63.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk301/m-ant/Sims%203/Screenshot-70.jpg[/IMG]

This woman decided to declare two of her housemates as enemies, so there's only one solution [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/1rsx1v.jpg[/IMG] [sp]the shower door is locked[/sp] She's trying to call for help but this guy couldn't care less: [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/1o87iv.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;38558675]Your save may be becoming corrupted. This can happen from using the same save over an over. This is why I never save over an existing save and I make a new one every time.[/QUOTE] How do you make a new save? Whenever I go to save, it never prompts me with an option.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;38563431]Buy or make cure potions.[/QUOTE] Please, tell me I can shove 'em down random passersby zombies' throats? There's an entire horde of them waiting in the park by my tenement, and they clog up the action queue with their zombie attack attempts

Save As... It's right below Save

Oh by the way how can I get started with alchemy? I know that for chemistry I need that chemistry table thing, but what about alchemy...?

[QUOTE=GÃ©za!;38566823]Oh by the way how can I get started with alchemy? I know that for chemistry I need that chemistry table thing, but what about alchemy...?[/QUOTE] There's an item in buy mode you can get, it's relatively cheap.

To get abducted, do I need to choose "Stargaze" or "Search Galaxy", or does it not matter?

[QUOTE=TheTalon;38568257]I bet this guy could do one hell of a Duke Nukem impression, and I think he knows it, too[/QUOTE] Of course he knows it - he's a massive Duke Nukem fan and does Duke Nukem impressions in nearly every video.

[QUOTE=Frisk;38566352]How do you make a new save? Whenever I go to save, it never prompts me with an option.[/QUOTE] ... It's the "Save As" option right below "Save". I don't know how you can miss it.

[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;38566594]you can throw them at zombies.[/QUOTE] Perfect. Soon, Bridgeport will be free of zombies pestering me EVERYWHERE

how do I buy an umbrella?

Is there a mod to increase the time scale? It's kind of annoying when I can't do a few simple things in a hour.

[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;38577914][url]http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Relativity[/url] There you go, one timescale mod.[/QUOTE] Thanks! I've got it installed and I tried to have a play with the settings ingame but I don't exactly know what to set it to. What settings should I change so I have enough time to do multiple things in a hour?

The sims 3's default value for this setting is 37, I set it to a little less then half, that tends to make it not take retarded amounts of time to make a bowl of soup. Don't mess with the other settings, the defaults work fine.
