Game Help - Can't Choose Household (problem solved!)
« on: October 16, 2011, 04:50:46 PM »
Hi there! So I posted about this on facebook and Carl was nice enough to point me in the direction of the forum. So basically, my problem is that my sims 3 game will not allow me to choose a household (which is the main way I play, mind you). I've recently had a computer crash and am in the process of reinstalling all my games into a new operating system (windows vista). So far, I've only installed the base game and it won't give me the option. See picture below to see what I mean.



Is there a way to fix this?

This is because when you reinstall the game, it resets the tutorial. And in order to play to the tutorial, you have to move a sim into a household, not select a household. I don't remember exactly how to do it now (I've done it on many of my reinstalls), but I think you can skip it or something through the options menu. Try turning lessons off.

I've never been to a forum and gotten such a fast reply. XD I've always had bad luck with these places. I'm glad I decided to give it a shot!
