@sSmtty6971 how can i get my game to work it worked on christmas but now it does not work

[sSmtty6971]

@TheLadygaga2345 I'm not sure I can help you, but even if I were to try, I would need a lot more information. Have you installed any custom content recently? Have you done any updating to your computer that might be causing a conflict? It would be helpful to know if you've done anything new to your computer recently that might be causing the problem.

How can you save the camera ctrl 4-9. I'm really confused....

[sSmtty6971]

@papermasters28 By pushing the ctrl button, it automatically saves the position. Remember that to get to the camera position, you just press the number of the location you saved, not the ctrl button again.

You could just press ctrl+shift+c and open the cheat box. Type in boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true type it exactly like this. Then choose a family you want. Then Open the cheat box again and type in maxmotives if you want your motives full. Then either drag them or they will automaticly fill. For it to stay shift click your postbox and click make motives static. As for the diamong thing, shift click it and press force error a pop up will show and then press delete. NO MORE PLUMBOB! :)

@OmgItsValee Right click on your desktop somewhere and go to properties, then settings, then advanced. Then look at your video card settings and make sure that it's set so that anti-aliasing is application controlled. This was all in that Machinima Tips link that I told you about earlier.

@sSmtty6971 I have no idea of how to do that o_o
