Tiberium, and the myth of duplicating.

[IloveLlamas]

Well I thought I should give out some info about tiberium duplicating I'l show it down below.


week 1. started growing.
week 2. it grew huge!
week 3. nothing
week 4. nothing
week 5. nothing
week 6. nothing
week 7. nothing
week 8. nothing
week 9. nothing
week 10. nothing
week 11. nothing
week 12. got board and added more tiberium to see if that would make it grow.
week 13. nothing
week 14. nothing
week 15. nothing!
Nothing!
so I hope this clears up any remains of the myth of growing tiberium.
its cool but it just Won't grow!

I believed it depends on the tiberium. You have to cut it out a space rock yourself and than it can start growing. Inside or outside the house doesn't matter though.

We have always had Tiberium grow large in 24>48 hours, but we have NEVER had one produce offspring.  I think it might have been an early glitch, subsequently over-written by patches and EPs.  We stopped bothering after the same sort of timescale the OP mentions.

Yeah, but I wanted to conduct this test to Finnish off any remaining doubt.

I think it's always been just a rumor based on another game from EA that had Tiberium in it.  In that game (I don't remember the name), Tiberium did multiply, so those players assumed it would also multiply in Sims 3, which it did not.

You probably mean Command and Conquer. I've just Googled it.

Right.  That's it.  Thank you, Leto.

I think so, if your game is up to date with the latest patch.

I have Patch 17 i think will it work?

Tiberium is very hard to find in the wild.  I have much better luck in the Relic Shop, Consignment Store, and from breaking space rock blocks.

Since I don't have World Adventures, my only hope of getting Tiberium is the consignment store.

Wait, you can get Tiberium from the consignment store even without World Adventures?   I thought no items or functions from expansions can be found in later expansions, or is it like in The Sims 2 when for example the Attraction/Preferences feature from Nightlife could be used in expansions later than Nightlife without having Nightlife?
I'm embarrassed to say that three times I wrote Late Night instead of Nightlife up there...

The way I understand it is that when EA releases an Expansion Pack for Sims 3, they also release an update to the base game the same day.  The update generally adds some things to the base game that are found in the Expansion Pack.  I would think that collectibles would be added to the base game.  It's the big game mechanics that you can't have.  For example, you can't play a Ghost Hunter unless you have Ambitions installed; however, laundry can be done because washers and dryers came with the update.  It surprises me sometimes that the updates include so many things from the Expansion packs.  I'm not 100% certain, but I believe Tiberium would have been added with an update.  If someone knows for sure that I'm wrong, please correct me.

... Washers and dryers did NOT come with any update for me?   I don't think any new objects have come with an update, but instead new functions. Like basements. I know that you can use the laundry functions by downloading a Loads of Laundry set in the store, but I've never heard about getting the machines through a patch.
