I had to remove Master Controller to get mine to work. Twallan's fast though, I expect him to have his mods updated any day now. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off that annoying memory pop up? |

I was kind of startled that I couldn't just download it from the EA store! That's what I was planning on doing. Oh well, I guess yet another trip to Walmart won't kill me. |

They're working just fine. Everything works perfectly, except for couple of mods. All the adults in my family, just won a free vacation! Of course my teen threw a party and of course it got crashed by police and of course his parents came back sooner and scolded him and now he's grounded and they keep scolding him every 2 hours. But, he can sneak out if they're sleeping and he's allowed to go to school. | |

Installing it now and can't wait! I'm really excited for this... I know others have said that it is a bit "bare bones" compared to other EPs, but I think I'll like it more than WA or even Ambitions because I'll be able to use it with every family, sort of like how Seasons was so great. I think it'll make the game more fun overall, and I'm excited. Can't wait for Twallan's mods to be updated, though. |

I just finished installing my copy and now I'm about to boot it up. My sister and I were lucky enough to get the last two copies from our closest GameStop. BTW why isn't there a Generations section to this forum? JW. |

I'm about to cry from frustration right now. I pre ordered it last week when I got some cash for my 28th birthday. Went and picked it up today and it wouldn't install. CRC error. So I've been trying a suggestion I read to copy the contents from a disk to a desktop folder and install it that way. Well it was saying it was gonna take 69 days to copy everything earlier. I don't know what the hell to do. |

Would it be faster to instead of copying the folder to just completely move it? It always works faster on my computer if I move the actual folder instead of copying it. I don't know if you need that folder though for your installation so it might not work. Sorry, I can't be of any help. I know you must really want to play your game.

I'm waiting to install the game until after AwesomeMod, Overwatch & Master Controller are all updated since I don't want to play without them. I was thinking, though, isn't the patch usually out by now? I thought all the EPs and SPs have to be patched every time you install a new EP. That's the other reason I'm waiting. I never patch through the Launcher, I always download the patches manually. I wonder if EA got lazy about having the patches ready on time and with the holiday, that probably made it worse. Either that, or the patches were really broken. I know a lot of people who pre-ordered the digital version are complaining on the official forums because they were told the game won't be available until at least noon Pacific time. I guess that's a few hours later than the digital copies are usually available. |

Yes I do. I was all excited cause I thought I was gonna have a few hours to play it before going into work but it's looking like it's not gonna work. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it all I know is I read in several places that I needed to select all files from the game disk and copy them to a folder on the desktop. But at this rate it's gonna take 2 freaking months. The speed keeps decreasing. |

I'm confused. I know there isn't a new town, but some people have been talking about an updated Sunset Valley. Is this right, or does it just come with new houses for you to put wherever? |

I think people got confused by the fact that EA was using Sunset Valley to show off the EP and assumed that the new families they used in demos and any new lots they added would be in the game as soon as you install it. EA probably should have been clearer and explained that they just added lots from the bin into SV to play the game. |

I would take it back and tell them it's defective. if you're getting a crc error you'll probably get the same error when you try to copy it. A crc error with a disc install usually means a problem with the disk and if the drive can't read it during install, the hard drive will have the same issue when you try to copy the files |

Nope. It usually takes a day or two. Plus, I don't think anything can be updated until all the patches are officially released. I guess there was some kind of problem with the patch at least from what I've gathered from the posts of those who contacted EA support. Either way, you should ask about AM at MATY, since it's hosted there and not on MTS. |

I annoy myself with my own impatience. I told myself I'd wait for Twallan and Awesomemod to update but I can't help myself; I just bought it  It's downloading at 1.8/sec ♥ |

To get mine to work, i had to remove: All of twallans mods. All of the Buzzler mods. 3 Pieces of Custom Hair.(Don't know why, so don't ask) 1 Custom Vampire Overhaul A certain Gardening gnome of awesomeness. After that, everything worked fine. Now, if only those things could be updated to work with generations, and i'll be fully happy. Oh, btw, sneaking out after getting grounded for having a house party, getting caught again, and getting sent off to military school is hilarious. I suggest you give it a go, and watch the faces. :D |

I can't believe how crappy the patch release notes were. I really want to know what exact bugs did they fix, now it just says under each ep "Additional bug fixes and polish to existing features". I want to know did they fix the random cars clogging the Sims inventories when not playing them, or what about the random instruments generated into inventories. |

Okay, so I spent the last of my paycheck on the Generations EP. I digitally downloaded the game without any problems. When I went to install, the game said I needed to update to the newest patch. So, I tried to via the launcher and it said there are patch updates available even though I know there is a patch newer than the February one (which is the last one I have). So, I have no idea how to get my game patched. (Is there some sort of problem with this patch?) And Generations won't install without the patch. Any ideas/info? (Also, I find it just a tad convenient that the official Sims 3 forums are "under maintenance" -- or whatever the page said. Absolute humbug, I say.) |

I played a new world set up without most of my mods so I can familiarize myself with the way the game should go. When giving feedback, I want to know what is not working the way it should. I have played with Twallan's mods for so long I don't know what should go normally. Well after playing for 2 hrs last night, I had to give it up because the gameplay sucks without my mods.  Twallan's mods that work are "NoCD", some parts of "MasterController", "DebugEnabler". I need the story progression mod before I continue with the game because it's just not fun without them.
