I decided to reinstall all of my sims 3 games and play them; reinstalled Pets, Seasons, Monte Vista, Supernatural and Island Paradise. They seem to be working fine, except in some areas. I created a fairy couple so I could create a small alchemy garden. Problem is, they are doing fine as far as planting, weeding and everything except in one area. The bloom option never comes up. Tried it with two different couple in two different towns, no bloom option.
Also, none of the creatures, vamps, werewolves or zombies are showing up. I can create them, they just don't show up on their own. Had the notice that it was a full moon, but not a sign of a zombie. None in the town or anywhere. Had my sims on static and as they wander around the town, in the park no sign of other types; vamps, weres, no witches waving their wands as they practice magic.
I have only played in MV and in SV, not yet in MF, but that shouldn't make a difference.
Could it be windows 10? Could the discs be having problems and I need to buy new ones? In my old computer I had reinstalled a couple of times, wouldn't think that would matter but I don't know about how doing so can affect the CD and thus affect how the game preforms.
