Sims disappearing
Charley:
Dunno if this is normal....
Can families you don't play 'move out of the area'?
Its just that I created me and my bf, we had 2 kids, a boy and a girl. I pursued the daughter, then her children had children. When I check in the family tree my self sim, her son who is/was married to Kaylynn and his 3 kids are still alive but nowhere to be found in the neightbour hood, can't phone them and have no relationships with them......
Is this a glitch or normal?
Chaavik:
No, it's not a glitch. That's how the game handle the Sims. If you switch away from your original family, they will "move out of the area" never to be seen again. That was EA's stupid design.
You won't have this problem if you have either Indie Stone Story Progression or Awesome Mod installed that will prevent your families from "moving out of the area never to be seen again". They will move out, but you will still contact them via phone as if they're just moving from their old home to a new home.
If you want to learn about both Awesome Mod and Indie Stone, here are the links to each core mod:
Pescado's Awesome Core Mod
lemmy101's Indie Stone Story Progression Core Mod
They are core mods that modify Sims 3 in a huge way that affects how you play the game and handle the Sims.
NOTE:
Pescado also redid Awesome Mod to allow players to choose the story progression part of either AM or Indie Stone (integrated with AM).
Read the descriptions, look at the screenshots and decide which one you want.
*Edited*
Also, I forgot to mention a third core mod:
Wintermute's Gabriel-Alpha Core Mod
This one functions very similar to Indie Stone Progression with additional features to allow Sims to interact with the Grim Reaper and stuff like that. The details are available to compare that mod against Pescado's and lemmy101's core mods.
Charley:
cheers for the quick reply. Could you explain how I install them? I haven't got any downloads at all so not sure what to do. I also wanted the teen pregnancy mod, but could figure out how to install. Could you give me some pointers?
Joe_Debock:
one have to install any of them just patch the game with 1.4 Maxis has address by public demand to protect you sims and played sims from moving out, have not lost a singlr sim I cared for in the game since
jamesabrown1:
Since you are new to downloading, you may want to use Delphy's Download Monkey over at MTS - http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=344611 it will keep everything straight for you. Be sure to read the documentation, print it and keep it would be a good idea. Also, I have avoided the move out problem by using the edit town function and changing households every few sims days to keep the households active. However, when you do this you loose all wishes, promises, and opportunities for the family you are currently playing.
