Get to know you - Sims Style

Thank you @descendantdragfi for tagging me 💜

What’s your favorite Sims death?

I have a hard time letting my sims go, so I don’t really have one. I usually play on the longest lifespan.

Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

Maxis Mix, but I lean towards Maxis Match.

Do you cheat your sims weight?

Nope.

Do you move objects?

Does anyone not? lol

Favorite Mod?

TS3: Nraas, and mods by lazyduchess.

TS4: MCC, & UI Cheats.

First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack?

I’m not sure. The first one I remember playing was The Sims House Party, and using the brightly colored dance floors!

Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing?

Both?? I’ve never knew which is “proper” so…

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

I’m not sure for sims I have made, but I have several born in game sims I’ve gotten attached to, such as Melody from an old TS3 legacy, and Arya from my TS4 legacy.

Have you made a simself?

No. That would feel weird.

Which is your favorite EA hair color?

I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of any of EAs hair colors, which is why I always download, or recolor hair.

Favorite EA hair?

I also don’t really have one.

Favorite life stage?

Probably Young Adult. I also really enjoy Child, and Teen in my legacies. :) I haven’t played with infants yet in TS4. 😆

Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

Both. I mainly build in TS4 though as I find it a lot easier than the previous games.

Are you a CC creator?

Mainly for TS3, but I have made things for TS2/TS4, I just don’t enjoy it as much.

Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?

I’m not really sure what a Sim Squad is, but I have made friends in the simblr community. :)

Do you have any sims merch?

No.

Do you have a Youtube for sims?

No. The idea of having to talk on mic/be on camera actives my fight or flight response.

How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?

When I first realized there was cc back in my TS2 days (2006!), I downloaded more realistic style cc. I tend to stay away from that style these days. I do like some, but I’m a lot more picky!

Who’s your favorite CC creator?

It feels impossible to choose just one. I appreciate everyone who contributes to the community, whether it be cc, worlds, or “just” screenshots. But a few I download from are @sforzcc, @aroundthesims, @twinsimming, & @sim-songs! They are definitely not the only creators I use cc from, though!

How long have you had Simblr?

When did the LJ migration happen?? Pre-2013 at least. I’ve been inactive on and off over the years, though.

How do you edit your pictures?

Reshade, and Photoshop!

What expansion/gamepack is your favorite?

I like more than one so I can’t choose.

For TS3 I really enjoy Supernatural, Pets, Seasons, Generations, and Into The Future (Plumbots are the best).

For TS4 it’d be (I haven’t tried Growing Together yet) Seasons, Cottage Living, Cats & Dogs, Werewolves, Parenthood, Strangerville (I really love the world, and objects), Paranormal, & Basement Treasures.

Please don’t feel obligated, but I’ll tag: @aisquaredchoco, @puffkins2000, @twinsimming, @sim-songs, @jazzysimlife, @ilvansims3conversion, @aprilrainsimblr, @nectar-cellar, @tasteslikefridge, & @omedapixel

15th Century Lookbook, Part 1 of Many

Part of a posing dry run for a project for a certain someone. This is a superimposition of bowing poses on a hurdy-gurdy object, because I wanted to.

I then realized that fiddles are medieval on their own, but I had already set myself on the hurdy-gurdy, so...eh. I admit the erasing was not done well. My model also ought to be wearing a veil, or crispinettes, or something, but I liked the hair too much to do that.

These inaccuracies aside, I think it looks quite nice.

you would be doing us all a giant favour!!! just update us on how we can help

I’m doing a thing...

How many hours of your life do you think you’ve spent scouring the internet looking for CC / mods for Sims 3? I don’t even want to think about how much time I’ve spent doing that in all years that I’ve been playing…

Tumblr is great, don’t get me wrong… but when you’re looking for a specific type of CC, it can be…. well…. not fun. Tumblr is wonderful for following players and creators, but it’s not a CC search engine by any stretch of the imagination. Sure, you can hop from one “finds” account to another, but even that’s not efficient.

So I started thinking about this problem, and how it might be solved, and I kept thinking, “I wish there was a site where we could catalog and organize links to content all across the web.” Well hot damn… I’ve got an unlimited web hosting plan! When you see a need, fill it. So, I’m starting a Sims 3 CC & Mods link directory website. 

The basic premise is that links to CC & Mods (to the creator’s original post or site, if possible) from every corner of the web can be organized by categories and tags. This enables users to drill down to specific types of content that they’re looking for, or just search for keywords or browse the categories to see what’s out there. 

I think that’s a pretty cool idea and would be tremendously useful! And furthermore, the system I’m using enables users to submit links as well! Huzzah! I don’t have to do all of the work myself! 

Additionally, it would serve to drive traffic to creators’ sites and introduce new players to their content. Hell… I’ve been playing Sims 3 since it came out and there are still “old” creators that I’m just now discovering…

Anyway… apologies for the long-winded post. The idea is only a few days old and I’ve got the basics of the site put together, but I’m still working on refining the concept and putting the pieces in place, and I would WELCOME feedback and suggestions from y’all, and if anyone is interested in helping with the project, please feel free to contact me.

Octumblr random set

Made with love and care, this set is a mix of CC fix + new meshes (painting and book ♥). I didn’t do it thinking about autumn because I had already started working on these objects a long time ago. But I think it was completed at the right time :).

WASD → ZQSD ; Controls for AZERTY mod

Hello fellow Simmers who use an AZERTY keyboard like me and play The Sims 3. Isn’t the camera hard to control if you don’t switch to QWERTY when you get into the game? It is… unless you get used to it.

:-(

:D

So I created a mod to fix that. Unfortunately, as you know CTRL+Z is “Undo”, it conflicts with the shortcut because there are “pitch up / down” controls (CTRL+W / CTRL+X on QWERTY), which just make the camera rotate on the X axis. I tried to change it but… idk, it was the same as before. :c + I did look pretty much everywhere if someone already made a mod like that after all these years, but I didn’t find anything. Instead I found people saying it was impossible to change the controls lol

Download: MF | MEGA

‼ This mod goes into your Overrides folder. ‼ Modifies the following TRIGGERS files found in UI.package: camera_0x62EC9813675C4070, camerafly_0xB699EAC37752F6D3, cameraHomeVideo_0xF250CFF3EC82CB5E, cameraVideo_0xBE09183F9D632621, CAS_0xD8D5C1186BA97FDC, ScreenGrabZone_0x21AEDB86174AFE4A

‼ QWERTY users, don’t download this. e.e

🐓 Pour les francophones qui me liraient (et/ou qui chercheraient ce genre de chose sur un moteur de recherche), j’ai créé un mod pour changer les touches contrôlant la caméra dans Les Sims 3, parce que bouger ses doigts dans tous les sens et se tromper de touche à chaque fois juste parce que j’ai pas envie de passer au QWERTY euh… non merci xd J’ai testé, ça fonctionne sans souci. Bon, si, il y a un souci… CTRL+Z ne fonctionne plus (plus pour annuler, ça bouge la caméra à la place). :’-( Il y a un fichier que j’ai tenté de modifier mais ça créait plein de conflicts donc j’ai laissé tomber. Au moins c’est moins la galère pour bouger la caméra avec un clavier azerty donc je ne trouve pas cela si dérangeait que ça. Bon voilà, j’ai pas créé de version FR pour les images au dessus mais si vous avez un anglais basique correct (niveau école primaire quoi), vous devriez comprendre sans problème.

Instructions: 1) Cliquez sur MF ou MEGA au dessus, ça vous redirigera vers Mediafire ou MEGA où vous pourrez télécharger le fichier .package. 2) Une fois le fichier téléchargé, mettez-le dans le dossier Overrides qui se trouve à l’adresse suivante: C:\Users\(nom)\Documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 3\Mods\Overrides ; si vous ne l’avez pas, cherchez comment installer des mods sur Internet. 🤔

Anyway, no need to credit me for this. Don’t repost and claim as yours though. And especially don’t repost behind a paywall or on a paysite! That’s nasty, yikes

ps: I did consider posting on MTS but um… I’m not sure how to do it properly so… I’ll think about it >< and I don’t have an SFS account

pps: If the mod causes any issue other than what I already mentioned lmk

Hi! :) It’s pretty easy if you’re willing to fiddle with the lighting. During the daytime hours, when you place lights outside they’re already “turned on”, but they don’t actually give off any light. The trick is to toggle the day/night button (or use the L key) twice while in build or buy mode, which then triggers them to light up. If you place any new lights after you’ve done that you’ll need to do it again, and most of the time you’ll have to change their intensity to get your sims to look good. At night it’s a bit easier since you don’t need to fool with any of that to get them to light up, but I’ve also found that for one hour at dawn and one hour at dusk nothing gets the buy debug lights to work outside.

Hope that helps! If you need any further clarification let me know. :)

KAIHOLA by technicallyswagpizza

"Sea and people have made the island what it is today. The island's epic landscapes are the stuff of poetry. Sand, wind, unspoiled archipelago and the beautiful bedrock, worn smooth by glacial ice. Glistening in the afternoon sun, yellow, red and white houses cling to rocky shores and fishing boats bob in the water. The verdant pine forests turn to charming leafy tunnels, framing every view. Time stops, people live a quiet life here."

Kaiho is a word that is a bit more difficult to translate as it has a certain type of melancholic nuance to it that nostalgia or longing for something doesn't cover exactly. Kaihola is my ode to Finland, an undefinable sadness that won't go away. The world is loosely based on two islands off the coast of Finland, Hailuoto and Ahvenanmaa, and my tiny hometown up north.

FEATURES

Medium sized map.

35 lots all in all spread across the island.

Unpopulated.

Includes a base camp enabling you to use Kaihola as a travel destination.

Spanking new distant terrain and matching terrain painting textures.

Wide variety of regular spawners, no World Advenures or ITF

Custom lighting mod included in the world file.

But wait, there is more! I have made two versions for you to choose from!

#1 Empty world // Requirements:

All expansion packs except ITF (No stuff packs!). Yikes! It's a lot for an empty world and boy don't I know it! I'm fairly sure I have used every other expansion except ITF for the landscaping. Some more than the others, however if you are missing an expansion pack, the trees and shrubs I have used will simply be replaced by something else.

CC used: Distant terrain, some of the flowers and trees made by me + Hidden Springs decorative barns + Aurora Skies birch tree are included in the download.

Map is completely empty, has a wide variety of spawners and is ready to be built by you.

Empty diving lot off the coast somewhere.

Two options for world installation, either through the launcher as a sims3pack OR bypass the launcher and drop the world package file in the designated folder.

Optional terrain painting textures made by me available for download if you wish to use them for landscaping your lots in game.

⇩ Download // Mirror ⇩

#2 Built and ready to move in! // Requirements:

All expansion packs except ITF (No stuff packs!)

CC used: Rabbit hole rugs by Jynx (Pet fixed), some EA store items, my distant terrain, flowers, trees, house shells and rabbit hole recolours. All included in the download.

If you don’t have some of the expansion packs or don’t want to install the EA store content provided, the items I have used will simply be replaced by something else from your own game. I cannot promise that nothing will break, but some bits might look a little bare or funky due to the replaced items!

All the lots are built and furnished, I have left 5 empty lots for you to build and fill yourself including an empty diving lot off the coast.

Recoloured and rescripted rabbit holes. That being said, Kaihola comes with basic rabbit hole careers you would get in a vanilla game.

Two options for world installation, either through the launcher as a sims3pack OR bypass the launcher and drop the world package file in the designated folder.

Optional terrain painting textures made by me available for download if you wish to use them for landscaping your lots in game.

The church deco has snow issues. To be fixed at some point in the future, maybe?

Almost there, just few more bits!

I have created a lighting mod for Kaihola and included it in the world file itself, I would recommend at least trying it out (by taking your own lighting mod out of Mods/Packages folder to see it in action)! If you like Kaihola’s lighting and want to use it in other worlds or as a standalone mod, shoot me a message and I’ll make a package for you.

In the screenshots above I have maxed out settings and Reshade enabled, but my preset is very subtle and it only adds a soft blur effect and strengthens shadows a little bit. I don't edit my screenshots other than crop and resize them with photoshop, so basically what you see above is what you will get :>

I would strongly advise downloading Nraas Go Here and disabling boats. They will cause lag as townies have a habit of looping around with them endlessly. I'd also recommend disabling wild horses and stray pets as they tend to get stuck.

I built all the lots myself except for the following 3: A massive thank you to @silvakristiina for letting me use her de-CCd Ivars house as a base camp, I also edited a junkyard from doublemedion694′s Cladbridge-on-Stowe and the boat is an edited version of this made by @fagersims.

If you post pictures, please let me know and tag them with #Kaihola or simply @ tag me. I’d love to see any and all pictures!

Congratulations, you have reached the end credits!

Special thanks to @silvakristiina and @depistako for playtesting and giving me feedback about the feel of the world! ♡

I know it has been like 2 years now, but thank you @hydrangeachainsaw for teaching me how to make distant terrain and for all the invaluable World Machine & Blender help! And a final thanks to @grandelama for sharing the beautiful road textures and allowing me to tweak them further! (  ˊᵕˋ  )♡.°

//Oopsie daisy fixes!

2.2.2022 - Fixed the blue lot/missing lots with fully build version. Redownload please!

17.2.2022 - Added missing bistro rabbithole .package file in the CC folder. You don't need to redownload everything, just drop this file in your mods folder if you downloaded the world on the first day of release http://www.simfileshare.net/download/2986213/
