Mods like this are exactly what the game needs right now, TS3 is about to turn 10 years old and a lot of good modders have already left the community in recent years. Small mods like this make TS3 up to date and easy to get into. Thanks a lot for your work!

Seus mods são os melhores, lembram muito os mods pro GTA San Andreas que até hoje são criados
que costumam ser funções simples mas que fazem uma grande diferença. Teria como você trabalhar em algumas funções mais avançadas do jogo, como as expansões? Eu sinto que muitas expansões, como a Supernatural, carecem de muito conteúdo, as próprias criaturas adicionadas pela expansão quase não se diferem de Sims humanos tirando o fato estético e um leve buff em alguma(s) skills, e eu sinto que só um scripter conseguiria dar mais vida e jogabilidade interessante Ã* eles.

Hi Quackgames, can you confirm if the 'save as' option should still work if your mod automatically chooses the last save game? It doesn't show up in the menu - I prefer to 'Save as' rather than 'save and quit'.

This mod seems to have removed the "Save as" option in the menu...

I've noticed that too, I've taken the mod out and the 'Save As' is back

Oh poo, I didn't see your comment above mine!
Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this, my game likes to randomly get nuts so...
I really enjoy this mod nevertheless!

lol. Yes, I love this mod too, it's surprising how the extra seconds it takes to click a save game makes a difference when you don't have to But I do rely on the 'Save As' options for regular backups. I hope QuackGames can add it back or something.

Wait what? "Save as" is gone? That's not intended and is definitely a bug, a very weird one at that. I didn't even touch the menu in any way, so I have no idea what could have caused this. I'll see what I can do about that.

EDIT: Does it only happen when the savegame is automatically loaded?

Hi QuackGames, yes it only happens then. When I cancel the mod countdown and select a different game, I can 'Save As'.

I'm having the same missing save as issue as previous posts mention. it acts like I'm saving the game for the very first time (including suggesting the name of the world I'm currently playing as the default name). Have noticed that if I hit save, it doesn't use whatever different name I put in and instead a "lastsavedgame".sims3.backup gets created. If I type in the same name as one of my previously saves use, it gets overwritten and I get the prompt warning me it does as well.

After the first save for each play session, I get the save as option back in the menu, and from there on it seems like it's working normally.

Update: Traveling also seem to trigger the issue even when it's not the first save for the play session, at least time traveling. Lost the "save as" again when returning home from the future, and got it back after saving.

Thank you so much for doing this! It was so much needed!

Like Woolysmurf, I have also that "Save as" issue, only for the first time I save in a game session, then, the "Save as" option is back.

I have also another issue: I can't install any .sim3pack through the Launcher anymore, because it launches the game instead of installing. I have to remove the mod to install the sims3packs.

This said, even with these small issues, I love your mod!
