It's my understanding that you have to be careful placing lots with spawners on them because they have a chance of doubling/tripling. Specially when you've rotated the lot before placing it.

I'm not sure what to do if you've created a new game and the lot is like that other than to clean up the spawners.

It doesn't help to clean up the spawners and then save a copy to the library, as you might run into the spawners doubling/tripling again when replaced.

These things cannot go missing on us. Our well being is directly linked to the existence of our Sims 3 folder :o

Anyway, how does a lot become this crowded with insects?

Thanks, LaPaige <3

...

Okay, I'm going to say something traitorous now...please forgive me.

There is one good reason to play The Sims 4 and that is *drumroll* custom food. I just downloaded about a hundred recipes for the most delicious looking cakes and all kinds of yummy desserts. And normal foods. And it looks so mouthwatering with The Sims 4 graphics style. My Sim will become morbidly obese in no time, but fortunately, it isn't accompanied by health risks in a game.

...

MrsFlynn, I did have to rotate the lot and it's the same again. Guess I'll just remove the spawners. Otherwise, no harm done.

The only reason I'd consider TS4 is for the building aspect. I've picked up several food objects from TSR.

Now you get your tush back here and stop straying over to the neighbors.

Rotating the lot will produce more spawners, but also I wonder if going back into buydebug also does it too. I seem to remember that happening in my game before.

Me too, for certain things. Bread (toasted) is my weakness followed by mashed potatoes and gravy. I could eat a mashed potato sandwich covered with gravy. :D

Are you talking the ghost couple? I've had that happen in a save that I've played before. I'm not sure if you can turn off ghosts or not.

Yes, the ghosts. I checked options and there's nothing for ghosts. It's actually night time but I was in edit mode so I had daytime turned on. Since they are close to the cemetery, I guess they were out for a midnight stroll. As long as they're not bugging anyone, they can stay. :D

I get the content could not be loaded from time to time. It means that you've taken content (store/custom content) out of your game. It sometimes will be replaced, if there's a item of equal value, if not then it won't be replaced.

To help prevent the computer or game shutting down in the middle of building/furnishing a home use Save As, give name. Quit the game and restart the game.

I usually do this and restart the computer every few or so hours to help refresh the computer.

My pet peeves are the aliens. I need to go through my retuner notes to see what I might be able to do with turning them off or as much as I can.


Content disappears.
You do some "housekeeping" then get the dreaded message that objects could not be loaded and have been replaced. Too bad it doesn't come with a list of those objects.

When your game shuts down just after you have finished replacing a bunch of objects that mysteriously disappeared and you didn't get a chance to save it.

What's your pet peeves?
