This Unchangeable Sims 3 Username Has Haunted Me For So Long... Do You Know How Embarrassing It Was To

1000 Follower Gift Part 2: Penrose Manor CC Free Version

Thank you for 1000 followers! For the the second part of this gift here is a CC free version of the house I shared in part one. So if you would like a CC version then check out part one!

This is a large house with lots of landscaping so still might be more intensive on your game. It's quite interesting to build without CC after such a long time but I'm happy with the result! I hope you will enjoy it too.

To install use Sims2Pack Clean Installer, you can check out what defaults and fixes I use below if you would like it to look like the screenshots. But of course it's optional! Please let me know if there are any issues!

Cost: £119,000~

Size: 3x4

Defaults:

Clear Glass Windows & Doors Default

Lush Terrain Default

3t2 Terrain Paint Default

Hedge Default - I use jodeliejodelie & Plant Fixes version

Plant Fixes Default

Ivy Replacements + Shine Fix

Upwardly Mobile Staircase Fixes

No Bump Maps On Certain Floors

No Sheen On Iron Garden Fence

No Sheen On Iron Stairs

Additional:

Higher Quality Tree Lot Imposters - Not required, it will be more intensive for your game! It just changes how the trees look from neighbourhood view.

The defaults are very much not required, but these are what I use in case you want it to look like the screenshots. I would recommend a version of the hedge default as it reduces the texture size of maxis hedges which can improve lag.

So...I built more 'apartments'...

I built these yesterday, but I don't like them for this corner of the town and I wanted them to blend in more with the style of the Resident lot. My favorite part of that lot is the community feel between the units, especially as I play it as a residential lot. Some of those characters will be moving out soon, and these are very similar in design but with more space that they need.

So these are 8x double bedroom units and have a bit more space than the other lot, and still has the garden design that I like. Albeit the driveway only has 3 parking spaces but better than nothing.

and they fit in so much better! 😍 😍 😍

I came back to The Sims 3.

And uhm... Hello?

I guess I'm having guests.

One day Ottomas descendants will run Pleasantview

Gertruda Gavigan finally had her birthday.

The Ottomas genes are so strong, I can't.

And it turned out that Mirosława is pregnant again.

She really wanted to have a second baby with Kamil. It was so easy to achieve.

She gave birth to twins, Lech & Jarosław, which was a big surprise because no one expected two boys. Unfortunately I don't have the photos of them but trust me, they look like babies.

Not long after the birth of the boys, I see that again.

OMG!

You can't even wait one day, can you?

Anyway, Ottomas genes are strong and trying to run in almost every family now. I think one day Goths and Landgraabs will lose the power in the city.

P.S. It's a boy! Welcome Kazimierz!

I think Samatha would be proud of her kids, creating 12 grandchildren! Mirosława leads the ranking, for sure.

I need help with my game. I know that a lot of us have problems with pink soup and it’s a thing that should be on list of unsolved problems of humanity but it annoys me for last few days.

Maybe here someone knows what should I do with my graphic rules or whatever. I tried to ask on Reddit but I had only answers that probably I’ve set up something in a wrong way (no way).

I can’t go to public lots with my sims. They are like me during covid because they only spend their time in the house. It’s not a big deal but if your sim’s LTW is earning money as a DJ then you have a problem. My problem is pink flashing and another crash. Already I have a PTSD related to visiting other lots.

I thought that maybe more than 8GBs of mods is a problem but then I see creators which has like 20 GBs and everything is fine. How? I tried to fix the Graphic Rules with other texture memory sizes like 4096, auto-generated suggested 7000-something and I also found another number in my specs that can be 8192. With all of them I experienced this problem. I have RPC so I have the patch.

I’m just sad at this point. Maybe someone here can explain this to me like to 5-year old child what should I do. Maybe I’m dumb and I just need a guidance or hear that I didn’t think about this and that.

But maybe I just need a pat on the head and hear that all simmers are dealing with this.

Pleasantview Update - Those Who Passed Away

Another piece of my updates. This time sad moments.

I said goodbye to Stephen Tinker. He had a good life, three kids, three grandkids, platinum aspiration.

His neighbour, Checo Ramirez also left Bluewater Village.

First death in the Newson family and suprisingly it wasn't the oldest one but Gabriella. She reached the top of Science career, married Ivy Copur and adopted Bartosz with her. Good life, what can I say more.

And finally this piece of garbage, Daniel Pleasant is gone. This one we can celebrate.

Not that much, huh?

Final stop in updates - WEDDINGS.

Pleasantview Update - New Sims!

Some kids were born here.

For example Janinka Pleasant (wife of Wiktor pleasant, son of Mary-Sue and Daniel) gave birth two times. First was Daniela (after Daniel) and two days later (like literally) she had twins - Diana and Denis. All of their names starts with D to honor the memory of the biggest d#ckhead in Pleasantview.

They had too small apartment so they moved in to Pleasant Manor, living with Angela and Jacek and their son moved to Janinka and Wiktor's apartment.

Next was Mirosława Ottomas, known from my previous series. She got pregnant on vacations with her husband, Kamil and after chilling out on the beach she found out she's pregnant.

She gave birth do Gertruda Gavigan.

The last one is unborn baby Broke who's Wanda Broke. Right before her water broke (hehe), her friend Jaśmina Goth (daughter of Florence Delarosa and Cyd Roseland, now wife of Fryderyk Goth who's a son of Bella and Mortimer) visited her to celebrate a baby bump.

She gave birth to twins - Natalia and Ewelina Burb. Yeah, Franciszek Burb, brother of Lucy, is a father.

I hope you follow. Those things are pretty complicated when you mess up with relationships.

Next stop - THOSE WHO PASSED AWAY.

Picaso's Art Of Love - Baby On Board

After some time, Paulina's belly had grown. She was happy her plan succeed but also she thought that it would be nice to inform Miłosz about it.

Even if he didn't want that baby, she will raise it. She just wanted to be sure if he wants to participate in upbringing or not. Maybe they could try to be a family even after one gathering.

"Hmm... I think I can make it. I'm shocked that we're parents so fast." - he didn't hide his shock.

"If you want, you can move in and see if it's for us. If not then probably we will have shared custody or something. I don't know. I just wanted you to know about this child." - Paulina explained. It would be nice to raise a baby together because she really liked Miłosz. Maybe it's not a true love but some kind of situationship.

"You know what? It's not a bad idea! I think I want to be with you and baby. I just feel like I'm speedrunning life." - he laughed. It was clearly too fast because they didn't even properly fell in love but maybe that's how it should be?

"I'll grab my things from home. And I'll quickly find a job."

"I won't leave you and the baby. Maybe it was meant for us."

I've built it!

But I can't change it to apartments :(

I tried everything with invisible fences, deleting custom garage doors, nothing works for me.

Is there someone who can help?

I can even share this built so someone can look at it.
