Missing half of UI, Zero Simoleons, game is unplayable
« on: December 23, 2014, 07:59:58 AM »
So my sister went onto Sims 3 and told me her female sim sounded like a man. I checked it out and there's much more a problem than she said.

 ~ Her sims, other than one cat, had all frozen in their current action that she had previously saved them doing.
 ~ Her simoleons had gone down to zero. Even if you sold items and it made the "ching" sound it stayed at 0 simoleons.
 ~ She couldn't control her sims.
 ~ If you press the arrow on the UI, that section for seeing sims' traits, skills, needs, etc, won't come up.
 ~ AND her female sim sounded like a man (this sim was stuck in a speech to the mirror).

I checked my own family on sims 3 and the same thing had happened, except the sounding like a male bit.
I looked though loads of threads and posts and I've tried F10 and restarting the game. When I switched active households it fixed it. However, when I returned to the family after fixing the others it had returned to the state described above.

I have not installed any EP's or SP's recently or downloaded any extras or vacationed or anything. This is completely random (I presume).

Anyone got any ideas on this...?

Hi SammiPineapple,

I am not sure what's making your game act so odd. But have you tried any of the tips given in the link below?
