Reclaimed Roots, A Legacy Challenge.

One fateful day, as you flip the pages in the local newspaper, your eyes fall upon an advertisement for an affordable farm on the outskirts of town. This farm had fallen into disrepair, abandoned and forgotten by its previous owners, who had inherited the farm but chose to not take care of it. Despite its rundown state, a flicker of hope ignited within your heart. Your dream of owning a small farm to raise your future family may become a reality! 

You call the owner’s of the property and they start asking for more money. This went from being an affordable farm to a pricey one! You decide to take a leap of faith and go for it. Packing your belongings immediately and setting out for the neglected farms of your dream. When you arrive, you see just how neglected the farm truly is. You find a weathered farmhouse, its paint peeling and windows cracked, surrounded by overgrown fields and rotten fences. But you see beauty hidden underneath it all. 

You see a vision of what this farm could be. A fresh coat of paint, rescued animals, beautiful old oak trees flourishing, children riding their bikes and fishing in the pound. This is where you want your new life you begin.

Required Packs: For Gameplay: Cottage Living, Cats and Dogs, and a pack that allows yard sales. House is made with a bunch of packs but is mostly just all clutter! Main items are from the gameplay packs.

Rules: Aspiration must be country caretaker Start with $500 Place @simsyworld’s lot from the gallery called "Abandoned Farm" hashtag #reclaimedroots or #reclaimedrootslegacy Each generation must live on the family farm. This may call for an extension of the house, a second floor, or a basement. If your sim has more than one kid, they can move out. But the sim you decide to cary on the legacy must live on the farm. Your house has no wifi, so no computers or gaming consoles. A TV can be bought after you fix up the house.  Your sim cannot have a job. Make money by yard sales or odd jobs. Your sim’s teenager sim’s can have a part-time job but they must still help out on the farm Wake up by 6:30am every day to take care of the animals (can take a nap after animals have been cared for) Cannot use “the hand of god” (selling in inventory) UNLESS there is more than 20 in a stack of crops.

I can't tell you what to do but… please add a variety of characters, your characters don't need to be all be the same. Adding a variety of characters makes stories more enjoyable. Don't be weird about them, avoid stereotypes.

Here's just some cas cc, be sure to look at the other content from these creators and from elsewhere.

MISC

@rosewritingprompts - my favorite writing prompt tumblr for dialogue and writing ideas

Power Thesaurus - my favorite online thesaurus, find those fun fancy words!

Be sure to think about your characters dynamics, their individual dynamic and their relationships! Here's a few simple articles and blog posts. 1, 2 , 3, 4.

Recommended previously in a reblog by the lovely @xldkx, make sure your font is readable. I would also highly recommend a legible transcript. Make your story as accessible as possible! The little effort it takes can mean many more people will be able to read and love your story.

Also, 'shot, reverse shot.' Little demonstrative video here. It's used in nearly all media with dialogue. It can make the emotions of the scene shine through more.

good tip... Clutter the hell out of your scenes, with accordance to characters and setting. Most people have some clutter, a little mess adds to your setting significantly. Take the time to really build your setting.

Here's a little character building article. There's many more out there.

Most importantly!!!!!! Have fun, grow with your writing and characters. Make it a fun hobby, not a chore or job.

I greatly appreciate any added resources in comments or reblogs!!! :)

TS3 Music Note Default Replacement

Hullo! I come bearing gifts in the form of not-crunchy music notes.

When @papermint-airplane put out a call to see if anyone knew of a replacement for the music notes that emanate from musical instruments in TS3, I immediately wanted to make one, since I've always hated how awful the texture looks, and I've never seen a replacement for them. Previews are below (make sure to click on the images for the full size versions, as Tumblr of course screws up the quality of them).

These are upscaled 5x from the vanilla version and partially hand-painted (i.e. I traced over the very pixelated vanilla notes at a higher res, but they are slightly different than the originals) and Compressorized. You can pop these in your Packages folder, and they should work fine with any other headline effect replacements (I tested with this one specifically and had no issue, despite S3Dash flagging it as a conflict), but if you're unsure, stick this file in your Overrides folder instead.

reading animation override 2.0

download on patreon (early access) (public release - 09/05/24) I managed to make reading animation override 2.0, with different poses for different genders and places!

standard version with 8 reading poses

extended version with 10 reading poses

also, all the bugs from previous overrides have been fixed, no one will fall into a bar stool anymore and sims will be able to read on a rocking chair with normal animation, etc.

reading poses on dining chairs:

reading poses on sofas:

reading poses on beds:

reading poses at the table:

reading poses on living chairs:

in the standard version of the override, which will be available to everyone on september 5th: reading poses on living chairs are the same as on sofas

in the extended version of the override, which is available to subscribers from $5, the following poses on living chairs are also added:

I'm very happy that I was able to fix my previous overrides and expand them so much! write if you have any questions or problems.

I was trying to be inspired by Tumblr today - but for some reason the TS4 gameplay tag is 99% posed screenshots and scenes with subtitles which aren't gameplay. Tumblr, do better.

@xobink requested some more fashion themed patterns so this set was created.

Introducing the Luxury Fashion Collection

There are 14 seamless patterns included (LuxuryFashion 1-14)

Found under ABSTRACT, FABRIC, LEATHER

There are ZIPs for sims3packs, packages, and preview images

There is a MERGED package file with all 14 patterns
