Sorry if I am interrupting anything you guys are talking about, but I NEED help!

So, for my Sims game, I had to lower the graphic settings just a bit so I could get my game to run better. But ever since I did that, my horse started to walk through the wall and ended up in my girl's bedroom, and my game just froze up and didn't unfreeze, but I could move the mouse. After changing the settings to "medium" instead of high, I saved my game and turned it off, then turned it back on like it said to do to prevent any issues from happening while playing. But it seems like ever since I've done that, more problems have been accuring than before. Does anybody have suggestions that don't involve me having to reinstall my game?

Click either picture to check out the Pokemon Fan Fiction I am writing! The account is just starting up so I would love any support you can give!(: "Only You" involves a romance and "Snagged" is just simply an adventure to get a Pokemon back.

Chapter 1 to Only You was published on 10/29/14 which is my Latest update on it.

My Latest Update for "Snagged" was the prologue, which was posted on 10/25/14.

Again, just click either cover picture to read the book! Any votes or comments would be greatly appreciated!(:

preventing the horse from walkign into the bedroom?
type in
"resetsim <sim name> and they will be returned to a proper location...
sometimes if the game freezes and unfreezes a bunch a sim is stuck,
i would suggest you update your game, or use the normal settings.
i would try lookign for the answer on the sims 3 website
also, you might have a "thing" running in the background which is interfering with the game, run a virus check

I got the freezing fixed. I added a few new things from the exchange to my game for my toddler girl and, once again, the new clothes came with the nude top and I didn't know it until I was going through my "downloaded content" list. After deleting it, the Sims returned to normal though I'm not so sure about the horse just yet, I have to check that eventually.

Another way to fix the Sim (Although resetting should work fine) is to either manually move it in buy mode by doing the moveObjects cheat or teleporting it by doing the testingcheatsenabled cheat. I had that glitch happen to me once with my old horse and I resorted to the moveObjects cheat because for some reason resetting made her end inside the wall with her bum outside and her face in the room.

As for downloading from different sources, yeah, that would definitely be a problem. XD I only download from Origin for The Sims to make sure everything lands in the same place and avoid any problems. X3

For a while I was doing the teleporting thing til I remembered I just got done with the exchange. I normally check my down loaded content list after down loading some things so I can delete anything that came with that one sim that use to cause issues for my game, but I forgot to do it that time.

Well, they pretty much do nothing.
If you Sim dies, it has a chance of life again as a zombie. At least that's what happens in Sims 2.
To be honest, i'd prefer a ghost.

In the sims 3, the zombies only spawn on a full moon. They can eat your garden plants if your plants are not enclosed in a garden. If they bite a human sim that sim can become infected and will be a zombie for 2 days. They basically do everything regular sims do except talk properly and walk properly, and they keep wanting to bite everyone. The zombies are sorta just...there xD.

They aren't the most well thought out supernatural, but for the Apocalypse Challenge, it could be fun :D

If you would like some idea's, I suggest Challenges. They're great ways to amuse yourself once you get to that point where the sims is starting to get boring and you don't play as much :)
