  1. Hello. I want to make sure I don't download the wrong stuff. I have get to work in my game and I'd like to have the easter egg and the orange juice option. Which file should I dowload (I'm using the dropbox link) ?

  2. Hey ! Thank you so much, I really missed the chicken from TS3 😀 Would you allow me to translate it into French (my 1st language) ? So that French players who don't (or barely) understand English can use it as well 🙂

  4. Hey..there is an issue with the dropbox link too ? The downloads are all packages..so you dont need to open them. Just drop them in your mods folder. After it has finished downloading just select 'Show in folder' instead of 'open'. let me know if that works for you!

  6. I just got the Chicken Coop on Wednesday and love what I've seen of it, you've done a fantastic job but since we got a patch yesterday and we get a new pack next week will we need to update this mod? Thank you so much for such a wonderful creation, I loved this coop in Sims 3 and yours looks just like it and love the interactions. Want to put it back in my game just waiting to see if its ok. Thanks again

  7. after yesterday`s patch,the coop didn`t need to update,and to be honest i am pretty sure it also doesn`t need after the release of the gamepack (but can`t be 100% sure).

  8. Spectacular mod. Playing a history challenge right now with a family of peasant farmers. The house head caught Fowl Flu without me getting the orange juice cure and now chickens are causing the downfall of Windenburg in a brutal, historically accurate fashion. Thanks<3

  9. Hi, sorry to bug you on another thread! I collected the eggs from my chicken coop and contracted Fowl Flu, but when I went to cure it with orange juice, my sim refused to drink the juice. He would make it, then just set it down, and the only options I had were to clean up or put away etc. When I went to wash the glass up in the sink, it through up an endless series of last exception errors through MCCC as well, but unfortunately I forgot that it wipes the log files when you restart the game so I lost those and I didn't get flu the second time. I have all the latest patches, and I also have the new expansion installed, so I'm assuming it may have something to do with that? I also got an error with trying to make honey into a jar of honey, and the honey itself is lacking a label in my inventory, but that I did save the error for if you want me to send it to you?
