I have a question: how to cook in a wood-burning oven? My menu for choosing dishes does not fly out.

In theory, there should be a "Serve" menu. You have to look there. I can’t help anything else - I don’t have the city of Monte Vista with this oven.

Can you ask questions about downloading the game?

Guys, can you please tell me how to marry your Sim with a Sim from campus? My sim graduated from university, but upon arrival back, he does not want to marry a sim card from the university campus, and he doesn’t even offer to move.

Tell. I read it earlier in the topic "Doubles", now I can not find it. Duplicates of my game Sim appear in the game, and the most interesting thing is that they repeat the life of my Sim. My-to fish, a double is also on the shore with a camera-paparatsi and his name is mine. Mine - got a job as a firefighter, the double the next day is also a firefighter at the fire station. Mine has fully pumped the most important skills, and the doppelganger too. And there is an opportunity to call a double for battle, which means that the martial arts are pumped over. He immediately became a friend, but does not come to visit, he constantly has some excuses like - you need to move away for several hours. Or he agrees to come, and then another excuse. I want to invite him to move and delete or kill, whatever happens. I settled My Sim right away and didn't change anything in the city. I had this before and in the city I found the house of a double and deleted it, and now he does not live in the city. When could I stick it into the game?

Prompt mod for Sims 3 removes restrictions on creating a Sim's face, that is, you can make your eyebrows higher than in the usual character editor.

In my opinion, with eyebrows in Sims all the rules, you can at least push the edge of your forehead ... Perhaps you do not have the "Supernatural" addon installed, there is a fad "Eyebrow definition", a good thing. And I do not know the mods on the face.

I don’t even know how to help, it’s obvious that the sim lives somewhere in the city, maybe in an apartment building ... Where the attendants live. I had a similar situation with the son of my character, whom I resurrected with ambrosia (he was not attached to the family). He left immediately, I even saw where, but he was not included in the residents of that house. But he disappeared without a trace, even the nraas story of a sinner did not see him. But in general, glitches with the appearance of doubles are the harbingers of big problems with the game in the future. It was like that, a barwoman with the appearance of my sim card after the first trip abroad, and then the famous glitch with the disappearance of sim icons when returning home ... :(

Are there fashions for the body? That is, so that you can make the most real pumped bull, or a very fat man?

Removing restrictions from the sliders for the body and face
To prevent the game from crashing, you need to download the file d3dx9_31.dll (first link) and place it in the folder:
The Sims 3 Game Bin
The Sims 3 World Adventures Game Bin
The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff Game Bin etc.
That's what it is. One had only to search in Google, comrade :)

Every day, gifts come by mail, from friends and not very familiar. Is that how it should be?

Good night all!!! For a very long time I have not played the third Sims, after I went through all the tombs for some reason I moved away from the game, and now I was drawn to them again .... I sat down for the game and there were questions ... Previously, I was a furious fan of Sims 2 !!! Perhaps something is mixed up in the memory, but is there no greenhouse in the third sims ??? I was looking for it in construction - I did not find it .... Another question: are there extracts for the stove in the kitchen, it seems to me there were, but I did not find them today. If so, tell me where to look? I was looking for decorations and kitchen accessories ... A game with all the extras. But I have a feeling that something is missing .... Or, as I already wrote, the second and third sims are simply mixed in my memory ..... Thank you for your answer !!!

The same problem. Not very upsetting, but skepticism: (
Toffee Iriska There is
nothing of this in the original game. There is a greenhouse as an object from the Store, that is, you need to buy for real money. There are no hoods, but you can easily find them, skilled users do, but as a decoration or lamp.

Thanks for the answer!!! One more question, so to speak ... I turned off werewolves and vampires in the game settings, but they still appear all the time ... Is this the way it should be, or is it just me such horror ??? It seems that the city of some kind of savagery and not a single normal sim, except for my sim card ... How to cope with this, or is it the way it should be ???

It probably shouldn't be that way, but I'm not sure. Cope, I think, is not difficult. During the game, hold down the CTRL and SHIFT keys, then, without releasing them, press the C key. A console will open at the top, in it enter the following TestingCheatsEnabled true. Find all these abnormal characters, then hold SHIFT, click on the character, select the "Change character" menu. The character will be in CAS. There you can change his appearance to a person.

There is also a global Nraas Story Progression mod. It can regulate many aspects, including the size of the supernatural population.

Which add-on should you buy first?

L
Left4LifebyLight-Light 21.11.21

The most interesting, in my opinion, turned out to be the Seasons, University life (that is, fresh) and Nightlife add-ons. I strongly discourage buying the Sweet Life, Fast Life catalogs.
