@niklmars @XBrittanyX_x @Zhaefari @TheSims I figured out that it was an issue with the Ba*****tal drugs mod!

@XBrittanyX_x @Zhaefari @mikaylamtorre @TheSims hey guys if you have mods, that might be the issue. i clicked disable mods in the option menu & it let me change the lot. afterwards, save it & enable mods again and it’ll still be haunted :)

The simspons comics are good because troy and lionel never interacted in the actual show bc they have basically the same voice and it would be weird and confusing. But because the comics dont have that issue they get to interact. Love wins

Something that Does Concern me about the Paranormal Pack is that my audio in the game now is fuzzy? @TheSims has anyone else had any audio issues with their game since downloading their new content :(
I checked other programs on my comp and my headphones, they aren't the problem

@Iron_Cgull @littledica @TheSimCommunity If you look at The Sims 2 Castaway, they managed to fit the entire game (it’s m***ive) from Wii/PS2 on it with minimal graphics reduction.
I imagine the mobile version if it exists, will be the same game just scaled down. The PS2/Wii versions weren’t held back (as an example) https://t.co/zO7O9YoVxk

@SimsYStuart ...their interactions to being indirect, then many cases of top-down influence would be a collapse of their hierarchical arrangement, yes? I think this is where the circular or recursive comes into play in living systems, and oh yes how beautifully complex this becomes- not easy!

@SimsYStuart and top-down influence in hierarchical systems has been on my mind a lot lately. I’ve become a bit drunk on Salthe’s triadic as a meta-theoretical construct and am now seeing it everywhere I look. to wit: if control & constraint relationships between levels effectively limit...

@XBrittanyX_x @mikaylamtorre @TheSims It’s because you have a mod issue. At least that was the issue with me. I had ba*****tal and littlemisssam more buyable venues. You have to remove those mods and then the option should be under lot types when you reload the game

@Ding_Gorgeous @TheSims Do you have custom content (CC) in your game? This tends to happen when you download CC but don’t have the pack the mesh came from... otherwise, I’m not sure why it would have broken

@innosynz Me too so far my oldest son is going to make sure it's my graphics card by putting it in another computer. Until then I can use my built in graphics card (which isn't as good) to play games. The Sims runs though I have to tone down the graphics so it can handle it. https://t.co/pciJWkjgm2

@D0mainG0at it's so silly, EA/The Sims won't fix issues with the game (ex. console skin tones, simulation lag, glitches that have been around for years, etc) because people keep buying their stuff. it's enabling EA's ****ty business practices. i personally like the look of the new stuff 1/2

@animegurlthighs @TheSims It should be showing up under the drop down where you would select “residential” or “tiny home residential”.
If it’s not showing up there then your game is seriously broken
