Hi, I'm roguebait, and I need help.
First off, a bit of history:
I have, in the past, largely played solely for the joy of building pretty houses. Create a Sim, find a lot, give 'em a few hundred grand via cheats, and go to town building them the best, most awesome house. While I always had the
intent to actually play the game as it was meant to be played (and indeed, I stumbled across this website seeking ways to better associate my Sims' personalities with the career path they would
ideally be taking) I somehow never got around to it.
It was almost two weeks ago that I finally decided, after reading Pam's Dreamweaver story, that I would do this Challenge for myself. The hardest thing ever was building that tiny, three-walled building so that my poor Sims could take care of their ablutions safe from the prying eyes of those driving by - and leaving it as it was. Unfinished.
I've had questions, but I've largely been able to deduce the answers - with almost 300 pages behind me in this forum, I'm largely able to find the answers to most of my problems. Unfortunately, and I do apologize, but I have lost patience skimming page by page for this one. It's simply taking too long. I have also tried googling my problem, but the results are all three or four years old, and this seems to be a newish problem - at least for me.
See, I've been at this for almost two weeks now. Picking names, creating Sims, perfecting their every detail so that they might make beautiful children one day. And I have not once, in the four attempts I have made, been able to get past the first generation. Different towns, different saves, different Sims... And all have had to be scrapped. Why, you ask?
Because I cannot, for whatever reason, get my Sim's intended to move in with them! My first attempt they were even able to marry - but he still wouldn't move with her. I'm at my wit's end - and, ask anybody, I'm a terribly witty person, so you know this must be dire.
Is there a work-around? Is there
something I can do, some
way I can make this work?
- I have all expansion and "Stuff" packs up to Pets, excluding Generations and "Town Life Stuff".
- While I am not certain where you're pulling the "1.4.2" (1.42? I'm used to WoW patches...) from, I can you that my game is completely up-to-date. I just double-checked.
- I run no mods. The only custom content I use are patterns that I have created myself.
- I do have a metric tonne of store stuff.
