Sims 3 Pet Shop

[Sherley]

HiI got the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection with the "I-LOVE-THE-SIMS" code, and its working fine; without a problem... but then I realized I can not find the body shop to personalize skin, hair, clothes and create more detailed sims...

Since I couldnt find it, I downloaded the body shop from internet, but when I tried to install it, it said that I already had installed a newer version with the sims 2. I looked for it again, but it was imposisible to find. I, then, installed the downloaded one, imported the new clothes and skins to the game, but, when I entered the game, they were not there.Nothing personalized at all after hours of work.

This building essentially provides support for a system of shafts and pulleys that distribute mechanical energy to the rows of metal working machine tools arranged along the building's length. The machinists who worked in shops like this could tackle a wide range of jobs. America's nineteenth century machine shops were a training ground for many technological innovators.

I am having some major difficulties with a recurring problem whereby all of the sudden, I get waves of abandoned residential buildings due to "Can not find shops or parks". Typically what happens is things will be good for a short while, then all of the sudden the buildozer icon goes yellow and I find a heap of homes abandoned due to "Can not find shops of parks". It started on my 3rd city, and I tried placing lots of parks and nearby commercial to no avail. It would be as if these Sims are completely stupid! I then went and built another city to city of it was somethign unique to my city design and the problem has happened again.

I did some googling and some have suggested this could be an AI bug - I hope not. If it is just something messed up in my strategy, that is great because I can fix that but I need some advice from someone familiar with the cause and solution.

Sorry to tell you, but it's a bug. I have the same problems, people are next and I mean literally next to a park and shop and they leave because they say they can't find one. lol. This f'in game was just neve ready for launch

Happened to me when I went back after 4.0 to an old 3.0 city. Most of my medium wealth started screaming no shopping no parks. Not only did I have to add lots of shops and parks but also bulldoze all those homes and get fresh sims to move in.

Having this problem in my current city. Along with "moving out no money" despite taxes being 10% for the low wealth! i thought the low wealth didnt mid high taxes? I always wondered why they jus dont go and get on of the many unfillled jos?

You might be getting tripped up when your buildings are turning to high density. Your job openings and sold/unsold goods change DRASTICALLY when a C building reaches max density. It is a pain to balance it out.. you just have to delete and rezone until you can achieve a healthy balance again. Also, keep your shops as close to residential as possible... or surround your neighbors around a centralized commercial zone, though your roads would need to be well designed to handle C traffic.

I can' take a look myself and make some observations .. at this point I do not expect to see the devs online until Monday. Sometimes they will pop online but I know that they were looking forward to a weekend after a lot going on this week on their end with the mac release coming up and 5.0 coming up after that release

The invention of beer and the wheel were the foundation of modern civilization & together were the catalyst that split humanity into two distinct subgroups: liberals & conservatives. Some men spent their days tracking & killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. These men were called "conservatives". Other men who were weaker & less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's & doing the sewing, fetching & hair dressing. They were called "progressives".

I tested this in one city and it id not make a difference.... Had a row of a dozen HD R, then a similarly sized row of nothing but med and high value parks, then a similar sized row of a dozen or so HD C, then another of parks, then another row of HD R.

Everything was fine until the traffic piled up. As soon as traffic piled up, even with bus stops (including shuttle and terminal maxed out), trolley stops and nearby train station. I suspect what is happening is glassbox is spending all of its time dealing with all the individual cars and their routes that its failing to connect the residence with the parks or commercial, and the commerical with the shoppers/residents so they both fail.

What I've noticed is that parks and shops have a max capacity. You can have all the shops and parks you want next to a residential building, but if they're filled with people from other areas you are out of luck. One trick I have done is to eliminate all industry in my cities. The commercial buildings not only handle the jobs, but they also fulfill the shopping needs. Since freight seems to magically appear from the region no matter what, there is no need for industry anyways. I also started zoning cities with 10 residential plots to 4 commercial plots throughout my city. Seems to help the balance, as I haven't had this problem since.

Something else I found by playing around.... if traffic is bad all over, then they spend all their time in traffic, going to work, then at 5PM all night driving going home, and back and forth. If they have no chance to go to shops, they start to show this issue, and then commercial starts complaining of no shoppers.

This would make sense in my situation - I had parks and commercial adjacent to low/medium density residential with pretty awful traffic and I was getting mass abandonments each day. The bulk of my commercial is in a neighbouring gambling city so they are probably trying to get to the freeway or a train station and failing regularly.

The problem disappeared when I raised the land-value to medium, which matched the small patch of medium wealth commercial that I had in the city. I also restructured the road layout to ease traffic. Now I just need to sort out all the disease and death...

Another thing I have noticed is the bigger the region is (500K population +), the more traffic in and out of the city you get that usually starts when you get your first medium density buildings (C or R). Some R workers leaving town for work, some workers and tourists from other towns coming in. Med density C can bring in workers and tourists, even if you do not have a casino or any other tourist related items in town.

Every new city I build now that my region is 1.3 mil, it goes without fail that as soon as the first med density buildings get built, traffic stays bad so it needs to be routed around the city decently.

my residential that moves out says the same, no shops no parks, but literally this is the resi building with the park right next to it and at the start of the commercial zone on its left side... Lol???

The sims (as I understand it) want to get everything done in a day. They travel to and from work but stop off at commercial buildings or parks on the way home to get happiness. If the traffic stops them from completing this in a day then they start moaning about it.

Its a bug, been around since the game was released and 'never' been fixed... kind of frustrating really given they've had all this time to fix it yet seem intent on ignoring it. The problem persists as I have the same issues in my own cities, only its worse with the mega-towers since it seems sims won't travel outside of the tower to a shop, park, or even a nearby building that 'needs' employees to get a job, to shop, or even relax. While I'd love for Maxis to fix this, this might be one of those things that we'd have to rely on the modding community to do so.
