Murf's Top 50 Mods - Part 3 (2020 - 2023 Edition)

Just a quick upload. This is my camper base I use for my trailer areas on a 10x10 residential lot. You’ll need Madayas Caravan Set for it to show up like that. Package file only, just put it in your library folder.

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

🐓 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

Merry Christmas everyone! Here’s a couple of yuletide themed objects I made for my medieval save - but I think they can work in any time period. The cake is converted from TS4 and is a functional recipe :) Let me know if you would like an edited version of the cake that doesn’t need the extra cc!

T.O.U.

My legacy family celebrating Danish Midsommer/Saint Hans (Left to right: Richard Randall, Bethooven Quomipash (heir gen 3), Nathaniel Wright, Tilly Quoimipash, (obscured) Moe Quomipash (Heir gen 2), Ellenor Quomipash, Harold Assange-Quomipash, Emily Quomipash and Rama Quomipash)

A lot of people are probably wondering what in the world is going on. Basically we celebrate midsummer by staying up late, song, lighting a huge fire with a witch on top… Just to scare off evil spirits, mind you, no actual witches were ever burned on Saint Hans. There’s so much intresting history to this holiday, but i’ll refrain :p

vendelavendelavendela recently posted a Swedish midsummer celebration in Enekjaer, and it was absolutely adorable. Made me want to do my own ;) … It also made me realize how completely different the two are :0

I've been sick in bed with a cold.

My abdominal muscles pain from coughing too much.

★ゴーゴー喫茶の編集(Go-go kissa Edit)★(Disco)

It's difficult to explain "Go-go kissa" in English… Excerpt from Wikipedia. "Go-go kissa is a type of coffee shop that was popular from the 1960s to the early 1970s. This is one of the so-called music cafes where you can listen to go-go with live music by electric bands and loud LP records, and dance go-go in the center of the floor. "

The "Go-go kissa" posted on April 5th has been slightly self renovated.

I'm really bad at choosing exterior walls. I wouldn't say it's very nice.

I created a signboard in the style of the late 1960s.

I made the tables, chairs, and floor look old-fashioned. Full of retro feel.

The Sims seem to be having a lot of fun chatting, dancing, and drinking, so I'm glad I built it.

☆I can’t write it all down, but I’m grateful to the many CC creators.☆

Thank you for always reading my posts！

See you next time.

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/

Donate now to save my children 🙏

I’m Ahmed Alanqar from Gaza, where we have lived our entire lives under siege, facing daily hardships and military actions. In October 2023, the conflict escalated catastrophically, destroying my newly built home, my neighborhood, my workplace, and robbing us of our sense of safety.

We are now homeless, desperately seeking a chance to build a new life away from the constant threat of bombings that have become our grim reality.

As we face this challenge, my children are always at the forefront of my mind: Zeina (8 years), Eileen (7 years), Yamen (5 years), and Ronza, who is just four months old and was born during the war.

My wife Dina and I dream of offering them better opportunities than we ever had, a future filled with security and happiness. 💜

Ronza: A Symbol of Innocence Amidst the Destruction 💝

Every time I look at Ronza, I see pure innocence in her eyes, unaware of the terror that surrounds us. She smiles and plays, oblivious to the danger and destruction around her. I can't help but wonder: How long will this innocence last? How long can we protect her and her siblings from this reality? I know that I want them to have a life they deserve, free from fear and filled with love and opportunity.

This Campaign is a Call for Hope, to Guide Our Children Toward a Better Tomorrow ✨

This call is for all who believe that every child deserves a life of dignity and safety. Your contribution is not just a donation; it’s an act of shaping a new life for Ronza and her siblings, ensuring they grow up in a world filled with hope, away from the horrors of war.

Thanks to Your Support, We Have Made Progress, but We Still Need Your Help 💖🕊️

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised €77,630 of our €100,000 goal. Your support has shown us that humanity is still alive and strong. Your help is a light of hope that we’re building our children's future on.

🌼 Default Replacement Wildflowers 🌼

to celebrate my one year anniversary of this blog, a small gift! this is something i’ve wanted for ages - a default replacement of the wildflowers (without the weird red vase, what was ea thinking??) i ended up changing some of the flower types to something that i thought was prettier! the text changes are currently only in ENGLISH, but if you would like to translate this mod, send me a message! (i would have loved to add other types of wildflower like larkspur or yarrow, but all of them share the same mesh so i had to keep it simple)

WHATS INCLUDED

- new mesh for wildflowers - new mesh for wildflower vase - new 512x512 textures - text replacement for some flowers

TEXT CHANGES

azalea > columbine indian blanket > poppy sulfur > anemone sweet william > queen anne’s lace black eyed susan > candytuft

CREDITS & THANK YOU

flowers are from this mesh by babayaga vase is from ea store

i would especially like to thank @enable–llamas for helping me with the textures and @zoeoe-sims and @greenplumbboblover for helping me change the string files for the flowers! i would have been lost without you all 😊
