Help much appreciated. I'm trying to chain Exeter, Westbury and Bristol on the same computer. This is my first attempt at chaining three sims. I have previously successfully chained two sims: Bristol and the previous version of Exeter. I now have the latest versions of Exeter and Westbury and the existing version of Bristol. I follow the same procedure I would normally when setting up the chain. Then I connect Westbury to Exeter. Then I connect Bristol to Exeter. The result is that Exeter and Westbury are chained. Exeter accepts the request from Bristol and when unpausing Exeter, all 3 sims start. However, it is clear as time progresses that Bristol and Westbury are not chained. I'd be grateful for any wise words that will achieve this 3-way chain so I can fill the rest of my Saturday evening. Nick Log in to reply |

You need to chain Bristol and Westbury (or vv) Just go to the external box menu of one and add the missing link. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Nick - we are currently running Bristol SwinDid GLoucester & Westbury in one chain and earlier today had a succesful test of all 5 sims chained. We start by opening Bristol then chaining all the other sims into that, then we join the others together, Passed the age to be doing 'Spoon Feeding' !!! Log in to reply |

Thanks for your answers and of course as you point out I was missing the Bristol/Westbury link which I have now successfully made. The addition of the slower than normal speed setting that comes with the refreshed sims makes this chain just about possible with one person. I may attempt to include Gloucester at some stage too. Thanks again and donations towards all the new sims released will be forthcoming after payday! NM Log in to reply |
