Saving in Build Mode?
I'm started to build my first world, a remodel of Sunset Valley (when I'm done with it, I want to share it on MTS). I've already made some buildings, but sometimes, when I try to go back to Edit Town mode to save the progress (as the game likes to crash every single second), the cursor spins on an infinite loop, and I'm stuck in Build Mode, and I can't do ANYTHING. I always need to kill the game off with Task Manager.Is there a way to save in Build Mode? I've tried NRaas Saver, and it's auto-save feature and it does work in build mode (although it's only at certain times), but can I just have an option for it? (yea, I'm a bit nit-picky)

Nope, this happens regardless of it. It usually happens when I use that glass floor-rug from ITF on the lot.

It often happens when you spend too much time in build mode. Could this be the case here? Especially if you switch between lots often. It helps to either have the game running for a while between building sessions or to quit and restart once in a while.

As far as I'm aware, there is no option for it but you could change NRaas Saver to save more often. The default is 30 real-time minutes. I find 10 real-time minutes works quite well for me. :-)

Hi, Unfortunately, your system is below min spec for TS3. In fact, your system is below spec for even Win 7. The biggest issue is your RAM and GPU. Min recommendation for RAM is 6GB system, recommend at 8GB. Yours is 2GB. Min GPU specification is at least 512MB of Vram, recommend 1GB. Yours is 256MB. ---- You can still run the game of course, but mostly on min setting. The big problem is whenever you have issues such as lags, freezing, etc... it is difficult to diagnose b/c it doesn't have the necessary resource to fully run the game, which itself can be the cause of all your issues to begin with. |
This is a problem that won't go away for 2 or 3 years, but strangely this save problem usually only happens when I use Into The Future's Glass floor rug on the lot and attempt to go back to Edit Town mode.
