__NOTOC__
Here's a short list of the bugs I've found in Sims 3, mostly to remind myself.
{{Duskey/Header|This is my personal page. If you wish to contact me, use my [[User talk:Duskey|talk page]]. If you spot something interesting in my To-Do list, go ahead and do it or drop me a note on my [[{{TALKSPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|talk page]]}}
==Bugs==
*'''Disappearing biographies'''
**(1.10.6/2.5.12/3.1.7) - It seems all the biographies written through the writing oppertunities disappear after awhile. At least when stored in bookshelves. I've not had any other books disappear. The biographies do not seem to disappear is kept in a characters inventory. This happens regardless of whether the person who wrote the biography or the person the biography is about is dead or not. Ordering the book does not help as that copy will eventually disappear aswell.
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - Still can't order books my sims wrote, they never arrive.


==Current tasks==
*'''2nd audio track, high volume'''
You're welcome to help out.
**(1.10.6/2.5.12/3.1.7) - On loading screens, the second audio track seems to disregard the ingame volume setting and blasts out at 100%. This does not happen in build/buy mode.
*Expanding [[The Sims Wiki:Todo/explained]]
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - This bug is alive and well.

==2 do list==
*'''Random audio volume on ingame stereo'''
[[File:Nuvola_writing.png|40px]] ''(in no particular order)''
**(1.10.6/2.5.12/3.1.7) - It seems to me that some of the tracks played by the stereo in the game have been recorded at different volume levels. Disregarding camera distance, I need to turn some up the high to able to hear them, while others need to be low and they are still much too loud.
*Add PNG vs. JPG guide [http://lbrandy.com/blog/2008/10/my-first-and-last-webcomic/] and maybe a screenshot guide, both for storytelling and for adding icons to the wiki.
*Add a ''Tips & Tricks'' or ''Did you know...'' for Sims 3 similar to EA's loading screen tips, but actually helpful. [[The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal#'Did you know...' section]]

==Completed or cancelled tasks==
*'''Flag on mailbox is sometimes up'''
{|class="collapsible collapsed"
**(1.10.6/2.5.12/3.1.7) - At one point I noticed the mail flag on my mailbox was up, but there was no mail and I had not ordered anything, I didn't get any mail the next day either. I have the No Bills Ever reward. I'm not sure whether it is that or if it was because one of my sims ordered a book, it got delivered, but she died before she could get it and none of my other sims in that household could get the book from the mailbox, that messed it up.
!align="left"|[[File:Moodlet_winner_trophy_win.png|40px]]
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - Seems to have been fixed.
|-
|


*{{check}} Add page for all Sims 3 patches, similar to [[The Sims 3/Patch 12]] <s>''(See [[User:Duskey/Patches]] as I'm also working on)''</s> Been moved to [[The Sims 3/patch]] now.
*'''Hand grab bug'''
*{{check}} Figure out how to delete [[User:Duskey/Test]].
**(1.10.6/2.5.12/3.1.7) - Sometimes the hand tool gets stuck holding an object. I've tried clicking just about any other tool and changeing game modes to free the hand again. I even tried to save and enter ''edit town'', but the only thing that seems to help it to quit entirely and start the game again. This sometimes renders the object in question untouchable. I only get the normal curser and not the hand tool when hovering over this item which means I'm stuck with it for good.
*{{check}} Get a custom sig like all the cool kids.
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - Seems to have been fixed, but now I have a 99 stack of pomelo in the fridge which can't be moved and apparently replenishes itself, so endless pomelo for me.
*{{check}} Add Ambitions moodlets to list of moodlets since there's many icons on the talk page now.

*{{check}} [[Talk:List of Traits#New arrangement of traits|New arrangement of traits]] and moving traits to individual pages.
*'''Mummy snack teleport'''{{Vgversion|TS3:WA}}
*{{check}} Find a better image for the [[Media:Hels high end loft stuff icon.png|HELS icon]].
**(1.10.6/2.5.12/3.1.7) - When my sims offer a mummy snack to a mummy, it seems the mummy blinks a very short distance before heading for it's coffin to sleep it off. This happens every time and one time resulted in me being teleported back to my vacation home.
*<s>Move ''Effects of Time Travel'' from the talk- to the main page of [[Time Machine]], once I figure out if some effects overlap.</s>

*<s>Add relevant info to [[SimBot]] as it is discovered, especially lifespan of bought vs. invented SimBots.</s>
*'''Vacation vehicle cloning'''{{Vgversion|TS3:WA}}
*{{check}} [[Nectar Making]] [[Talk:Nectar Making|(talk)]] and everything related.
**(1.10.6/2.5.12/3.1.7) - Sometimes my when going on a vacation with a vehicle in their inventory, my sims will get the "new car smell" moodlet while driving in the vehicle on their vacation. When they return, the vehicle will sit in my driveway as normal, but the sims will also have a second identical vehicle in their inventory with the "new car smell".
*{{check}} Expand the [[Snooty Sims]] page.
:A related bug is that sometimes my sims return home with a Kenspa in their inventory (France, Egypt only) even though I have none in the household and I did not buy one on my vacation. They steal it!
*{{check}} Add more website pages for kickass sims sites. (Carls Sims 3 Guide & Sim Programs & Patches-Scrolls).
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - This bug is alive and well. My sims always get the "New Car Smell" when they bring a car back from vacation, cloned or not. I guess the game copies the items in your inventory when you travel.
*{{check}} Find the courage to make a suggestion for future game page templates.

*<s>Add missing info on all [[Trait (The Sims 3)]]s.</s>
*'''Save error 11'''
*<s>Add collapseable table template.</s>
**(1.10.6/2.5.12/3.1.7) - I get "save error 11" relatively often which, according to the readme, means "Pre-save callback failure" whatever the **** that is. I fix this by cancelling the current character's queued interactions and I can then save. This also creates a ''mysavegame.bad'' folder in the ''saves'' folder which I then delete.
*{{check}} Pimp out [[Time Machine]] [[Talk:Time Machine|(talk)]].
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - Seems to have been fixed.
*{{check}} Add more ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'' info to all the required pages. Added all that I can.

*{{check}} Write documentation for {{t|era}} and {{t|eraicon}}.
*'''Sims freak out at ghosts and sim bots'''{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}
*{{check}} Pimp out {{t|era}} with wikipedia info.
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - For some reason the family ghosts now wake up my sims when they enter their bedrooms and my sims sometimes stop to complain about the ghosts, cancelling all their queues. The ghosts at the graveyard all go to a car when they spawn and drive off into the night, presumeably to haunt somewhere. My sims also freak out near a sim bot even though it's a member of the household and again cancel all their actions, even if they're in the middle of something.
*{{check2}} Note opening and closing times of the [[Consignment store]].

*{{check2}} Write documentation for {{t|Game}} template.
*'''Alt-Tab equals corrupt save'''
*{{check2}} Make shoutbox userbox.
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - While the game was saving, I alt-tabbed out and then back in again a few minutes later. This caued my saved game to become corrupts. My sim bot turned invisible and if a sim got an action outside their lot, such as work, they would get stuck on that action stood still, couldn't even cancel it. Long story short: Don't tab out while saving.
*{{check2}} Make 'more wiki than gaming' userbox.

*<s>Make [[:File:Small Sims 3 Logo.gif]] into a proper icon and add width to all excisting instances.</s>
*'''Buy menu at consignment store won't open'''{{Vgversion|TS3:A}}
*{{check2}} Move [[Photography/Photo collections|Photo collections]] to their own page if there's no objections and add player tips on how to complete them.
**(1.11.7/2.7.7/3.3.11/4.0.87) - The buy menu wouldn't open in the consignment store. Turns out I had to cancel consignments who were weirdly at -1 or 0 days even though they had been there for a few days.

==Musings on Ambitions==
*No way to tell how old Sim Bots are
*Sim Bots are abit boring compared to how the servos were in Sims 2
*Game performance seems to be better, but loading times are much worse
*The new message systems makes it easy to miss messages
*Having to collect money from each real estate individually is a pain
