Parte 27: La fiesta continua

Part 27: The party continues

Angelina: ¡Esto debemos celebrar!! 🥳

Angelina: Brindemos por nuestros logros. Somos la mejor pareja de policías.

Clay: ¡Un brindis a los mejores policías!!🤩

Angelina: We should celebrate this!! 🥳

Angelina: Cheers to our accomplishments. We're the best cop couple.

Clay: Cheers to the best cops!! 🤩

Luego de ver como se divertían los policías algunos detenidos rompen el silencio:

Amador: Hemos estado mucho tiempo aquí. 😐

Mariana: Estamos cansados de estar aquí. 😒

Angelina: ¡Silencio! 🤫

Amador: Ustedes son unos corruptos, la vergüenza de los policías. 😠

Mariana: ¿Se creen los dueños o qué? 😠

Clay: ¿Son sordos? ¡Callense! 🤫🙄

After seeing how the police were having fun, some detainees broke the silence:

Amador: We've been here too long.😐

Mariana: We're tired of being here.😒

Angelina: Silence!🤫

Amador: You guys are corrupt, a disgrace to the police.😠

Mariana: Do you think you own this place or what?😠

Clay: Are you deaf? Shut up!🤫🙄

Mientras tanto las chicas y Byron seguían ocultándose en el sótano.

Byron observaba atentamente cada movimiento de los policías a través de las cámaras instaladas por todo el almacén.

Flor: Cuanto tiempo ha pasado ya?...😪

Byron: Los policías aún no se han ido, al parecer comenzaron una fiesta. Se están burlando de los que atraparon.

Flor: ¿Por cuánto tiempo más estarán aquí? Quiero irme a mi casa. 😔

Byron: Aquí estaremos hasta que se vayan. Tenemos lo necesario y también hay provisiones por si debemos quedarnos por mucho tiempo.

Casilda: ¿Acaso tienes este refugio por cosas ilícitas y necesitas ocultarte? 🤔

Byron: Si, pero ustedes no contarían esto porque yo las estoy ayudando. ¿No es así?

Flor: Claro, no diremos nada. 🤗

Meanwhile, the girls and Byron continued to hide in the basement.

Byron watched the police officers' every move closely through the cameras installed throughout the warehouse.

Flor: How long has it been? 😪

Byron: The police haven't left yet; it seems they've started a party. They're making fun of those they caught.

Flor: How much longer will they be here? I want to go home. 😔

Byron: We'll be here until they leave. We have everything we need, and there are also supplies in case we have to stay for a long time.

Casilda: Are you here here for illegal activities and need to hide? 🤔

Byron: Yes, but you wouldn't tell anyone about this because I'm helping you. Isn't that right?

Flor: Of course, we won't say anything. 🤗

Part 26: The new doctor

Hilario: Hija, Tus padres ya estamos viejos y no siempre estaremos contigo. Esta es la herencia que te dejaremos

Dinora: Nosotros queremos que puedas asumir esta empresa en caso de que ya no estemos

Esperanza: No digan esas cosas. Espero que vivan muchos años más a mi lado. 🥺

Esperanza: Los amo mucho. 🙆

Hilario: Nosotros te queremos también.

Dinora: Bueno basta de hablar de cosas tristes. Mientras estemos vivos estaremos para ti Esperanza.

Hilario: Cuéntanos hija como te ha ido en tu viaje.

Esperanza: Maravilloso, pero no puedo creer que apenas he llegado y ahora se irán.

Hilario: Daughter, your parents are already old and we won't always be with you. This is the inheritance we will leave you.

Dinora: We want you to be able to take on this task in case we are no longer here.

Esperanza: Don't say those things. I hope you live many more years by my side. 🥺

Hilario: Tell us, daughter, how your trip went.

Esperanza: Wonderful, but I can't believe I've barely arrived and now they're leaving.

Mientras tanto en el hospital

Meanwhile at the hospital

Ingrid rápidamente se dirigió con sus compañeros a una sala apropiada para poder ayudar a Enrico.

Mientras que Ingrid atendía a Enrico; repentinamente escuchan que la manija de la puerta se movió.  Todos observaron la puerta, esperando que la puerta no se abriera; nerviosos pues sabían lo que hacían y no sabían quién estaba tratando de abrir la puerta. La puerta fue abierta; quien estaba del otro lado tenía las llaves de la puerta.

Ingrid quickly went with her colleagues to a suitable room to help Enrico.

While Ingrid was tending to Enrico, they suddenly heard the door handle move. They all stared at the door, hoping it wouldn't open; nervous because they knew what they were doing and didn't know who was trying to open it. The door opened; the person on the other side had the keys.

Razor entra y observa lo que estaba aconteciendo, rápidamente reconoció a Ingrid.

Razor: Ingrid- dijo – hace un tiempo que no te veo…

¿Pero, que hacen aquí? 🔍

Ingrid: ¿Razor, como estas? No te veía después de nuestra graduación – dijo Ingrid aliviada, pues no fue su jefe el que abrió la puerta.

Razor entered and observed what was happening. He quickly recognized Ingrid.

Razor: "Ingrid," he said, "I haven't seen you in a while...

But what are you doing here?" 🔍

Ingrid: "Razor, how are you? I didn't see you since our graduation," Ingrid said, relieved that it wasn't her boss who opened the door.

Ingrid: Razor podrías ayudarnos, luego te explicare.

Razor acepta; algo desconfiado, decide ayudar a los dos extraños que acompañan a Ingrid.

Ingrid: "Razor, could you help us? I'll explain later."

Razor agreed, somewhat suspicious, and decided to help the two strangers accompanying Ingrid.

Reblog/Like if your an active simblr for the The Sims 3 game! ✨

It's my second and final sims game that i play! 💟

[kfvarela]

Is anyone planning on trying out this game in early access? Sadly my gaming laptop doesn't meet the requirements to not blow up play it but I'm definitely curious. It looks like if Sims 3 and GTA had a baby which is like my wet dream.

But apparently their Steam forum is in a meltdown right now because the game is going to have Denuvo (yikes) and has some very unfriendly language in their Terms of Service about script mods (boo!!). As someone who would ONLY be interested in this game to mod it, that's a disappointment.

Update: in a rare turn of an events, a major studio actually listened to its community and the team announced they are removing Denuvo (yay!) and committed to modding (double yay!).

Anyway, at the very least, new competition for EA is a good thing and it's not the only new life sim coming out this year (I count 4!!) so that's exciting. I've gotten back into Sims 3 (mostly building for now) so if this means more conversions, I won't be mad!

[kfvarela]

¡Hola! 👋

Después de que la computadora anterior que tenia se arruino logre comprar otra PC,👏😁es un poco mejor que la anterior, pero sigo manteniendo los gráficos del juego bajos y por cierto mi Pc no puede correr los gráficos de Inzoi (He visto a varios posteando en sus blogs imágenes, el juego se ve genial 👍)

Hello! 👋

After my previous computer broke, I managed to buy a new one. 👏😁 It's a little better than the old one, but I still have low game graphics, and by the way, my PC can't run Inzoi's graphics (I've seen several people posting screenshots on their blogs; the game looks great 👍).

He tenido algunos problemas con los gráficos, pero logré solucionarlos al actualizarlos y mi juego ya no se ve con tanto contraste, anqué tengo un problema con el cabello de Angelina que en el juego se ve de color negro, pero en Cas se muestra correctamente y en la PC no había visto un error como ese, supongo que los errores me persiguen después de haber instalado tantos mods. 🤗😅🤷

I've had some issues with the graphics, but I managed to fix them by updating them, and my game no longer has such a high contrast. However, I have a problem with Angelina's hair, which appears black in the game, but in Cas it displays correctly, and I've never seen an error like that on the PC. I guess the errors are chasing me after installing so many mods. 🤗😅🤷

Parte 25: Los prisioneros

Part 25: The prisoners

Clay (Pensando): ¿Dónde estará Angelina? Ha pasado mucho tiempo. 🤔

¿Que estará haciendo?

Escuche un disparo, ¿y si le dispararon? 😱

Creo que debo comunicarme con ella.

Angelina: Clay, estoy de regreso y traigo compañía.

Clay (Thinking): Where is Angelina? It's been a long time. 🤔

What is she doing?

I heard a gunshot, what if she got shot? 😱

I think I should contact her.

Angelina: Clay, I'm back and I've got company.

Ingrid: Enrico, ¿qué ha pasado contigo? 🧐

Adriano: A Enrico le disparo una policía.

Ingrid: Pero, ¿cómo? No estoy entendiendo 😲

Adriano: Luego te explicamos.

¿Podrías ayudarnos? 🙏

Ingrid: Por supuesto.

Siganme.

Ingrid: Enrico, what happened to you? 🧐

Adriano: Enrico was shot by a police officer.

Ingrid: But how? I don't understand 😲

Adriano: We'll explain later.

Could you help us? 🙏

Ingrid: Of course.

Follow me.

Clay: Y ellos, ¿quiénes son? 🤔

Angelina: Los encontré haciendo cosas indebidas en lugares públicos…Larga historia

Clay: Por eso traen poca ropa. 😅

Angelina: Ellos dijeron que harían lo que yo quisiera. Así que moje sus atuendos para que tuvieran que acompañarme con lo que les deje.

Clay: Vaya, parece que te has divertido. 😉

Angelina: Pero esto apenas empieza.

Clay: Pero, ¿qué paso con los que estabas persiguiendo? 🧐

Angelina: ¡No pude alcanzarlos!

Sabes, le dispare a uno de ellos. Al parecer el tonto decidió salir de su escondite para escapar con los demás y le termine disparando. Si hubiera seguido escondido entre los arbustos no lo habría visto.

Los perseguí, pero todos ellos huyeron. Luego de regreso encontré a estos dos que desacataron mi autoridad; pero se rindieron, así que los traje aquí.

Clay: Pues yo en todo este tiempo, atrape a una chica que estaba escondiéndose.

Angelina: ¡Qué bien hemos atrapado a seis! 😀

Clay: And who are they? 🤔

Angelina: I found them doing inappropriate things in public places… Long story

Clay: That's why they almost wear clothes. 😅

Angelina: They said they would do whatever I wanted. So I soaked their clothes so they would have to accompany me with whatever I left them.

Clay: Wow, it seems you had fun. 😉

Angelina: But this is just the beginning.

Clay: But what happened to the ones you were chasing? 🧐

Angelina: I couldn't catch up with them!

You know, I shot one of them. Apparently the fool decided to come out of hiding to escape with the others and I ended up shooting him. If he had continued hiding in the bushes I wouldn't have seen him.

I chased them, but they all ran away. Then on my way back I found these two who disobeyed my authority; but they surrendered, so I brought them here.

Clay: Well, in all this time, I caught a girl who was hiding.

Angelina: Great, we caught six! 😀

How to use DXVK with The Sims 3

Have you seen this post about using DXVK by Criisolate? But felt intimidated by the sheer mass of facts and information?

@desiree-uk and I compiled a guide and the configuration file to make your life easier. It focuses on players not using the EA App, but it might work for those just the same. It’s definitely worth a try.

Adding this to your game installation will result in a better RAM usage. So your game is less likely to give you Error 12 or crash due to RAM issues. It does NOT give a huge performance boost, but more stability and allows for higher graphics settings in game.

The full guide behind the cut. Let me know if you also would like it as PDF.

Happy simming!

Disclaimer and Credits

Desiree and I are no tech experts and just wrote down how we did this. Our ability to help if you run into trouble is limited. So use at your own risk and back up your files!

We both are on Windows 10 and start the game via TS3W.exe, not the EA App. So your experience may differ.

This guide is based on our own experiments and of course criisolate’s post on tumblr:  https://www.tumblr.com/criisolate/749374223346286592/ill-explain-what-i-did-below-before-making-any

This guide is brought to you by Desiree-UK and Norn.

Compatibility

Note: This will conflict with other programs that “inject” functionality into your game so they may stop working. Notably

Reshade

GShade

Nvidia Experience/Nvidia Inspector/Nvidia Shaders

RivaTuner Statistics Server

It does work seamlessly with LazyDuchess’ Smooth Patch.

LazyDuchess’ Launcher: unknown

Alder Lake patch: does conflict. One user got it working by starting the game by launching TS3.exe (also with admin rights) instead of TS3W.exe. This seemed to create the cache file for DXVK. After that, the game could be started from TS3W.exe again. That might not work for everyone though.

A word on FPS and V-Sync

With such an old game it’s crucial to cap framerate (FPS). This is done in the DXVK.conf file. Same with V-Sync.

You need

a text editor (easiest to use is Windows Notepad)

to download DXVK, version 2.3.1 from here: https://github.com/doitsujin/DXVK/releases/tag/v2.3.1 Extract the archive, you are going to need the file d3d9.dll from the x32 folder

the configuration file DXVK.conf from here: https://github.com/doitsujin/DXVK/blob/master/DXVK.conf. Optional: download the edited version with the required changes here.

administrator rights on your PC

to know your game’s installation path (bin folder) and where to find the user folder

a tiny bit of patience :)

First Step: Backup

Backup your original Bin folder in your Sims 3 installation path! The DXVK file may overwrite some files! The path should be something like this (for retail): \Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin (This is the folder where also GraphicsRule.sgr and the TS3W.exe and TS3.exe are located.)

Backup your options.ini in your game’s user folder! Making the game use the DXVK file will count as a change in GPU driver, so the options.ini will reset once you start your game after installation. The path should be something like this: \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 (This is the folder where your Mods folder is located).

Preparations

Make sure you run the game as administrator. You can check that by right-clicking on the icon that starts your game. Go to Properties > Advanced and check the box “Run as administrator”. Note: This will result in a prompt each time you start your game, if you want to allow this application to make modifications to your system. Click “Yes” and the game will load.

2. Make sure you have the DEP settings from Windows applied to your game.

Open the Windows Control Panel.

Click System and Security > System > Advanced System Settings.

On the Advanced tab, next to the Performance heading, click Settings.

Click the Data Execution Prevention tab.

Select 'Turn on DEP for all programs and services except these”:

Click the Add button, a window to the file explorer opens. Navigate to your Sims 3 installation folder (the bin folder once again) and add TS3W.exe and TS3.exe.

Click OK. Then you can close all those dialog windows again.

Setting up the DXVK.conf file

Open the file with a text editor and delete everything in it. Then add these values:

d3d9.textureMemory = 1

d3d9.presentInterval = 1

d3d9.maxFrameRate = 60

d3d9.presentInterval enables V-Sync,d3d9.maxFrameRate sets the FrameRate. You can edit those values, but never change the first line (d3d9.textureMemory)!

The original DXVK.conf contains many more options in case you would like to add more settings.

A. no Reshade/GShade

Setting up DXVK

Copy the two files d3d9.dll and DXVK.conf into the Bin folder in your Sims 3 installation path. This is the folder where also GraphicsRule.sgr and the TS3W.exe and TS3.exe are located. If you are prompted to overwrite files, please choose yes (you DID backup your folder, right?)

And that’s basically all that is required to install.

Start your game now and let it run for a short while. Click around, open Buy mode or CAS, move the camera.

Now quit without saving. Once the game is closed fully, open your bin folder again and double check if a file “TS3W.DXVK-cache” was generated. If so – congrats! All done!

Things to note

Heads up, the game options will reset! So it will give you a “vanilla” start screen and options.

Don’t worry if the game seems to be frozen during loading. It may take a few minutes longer to load but it will load eventually.

The TS3W.DXVK-cache file is the actual cache DXVK is using. So don’t delete this! Just ignore it and leave it alone. When someone tells to clear cache files – this is not one of them!

Update Options.ini

Go to your user folder and open the options.ini file with a text editor like Notepad.

Find the line “lastdevice = “. It will have several values, separated by semicolons. Copy the last one, after the last semicolon, the digits only. Close the file.

Now go to your backup version of the Options.ini file, open it and find that line “lastdevice” again. Replace the last value with the one you just copied. Make sure to only replace those digits!

Save and close the file.

Copy this version of the file into your user folder, replacing the one that is there.

Things to note:

If your GPU driver is updated, you might have to do these steps again as it might reset your device ID again. Though it seems that the DXVK ID overrides the GPU ID, so it might not happen.

How do I know it’s working?

Open the task manager and look at RAM usage. Remember the game can only use 4 GB of RAM at maximum and starts crashing when usage goes up to somewhere between 3.2 – 3.8 GB (it’s a bit different for everybody).

So if you see values like 2.1456 for RAM usage in a large world and an ongoing save, it’s working. Generally the lower the value, the better for stability.

Also, DXVK will have generated its cache file called TS3W.DXVK-cache in the bin folder. The file size will grow with time as DXVK is adding stuff to it, e.g. from different worlds or savegames. Initially it might be something like 46 KB or 58 KB, so it’s really small.

Optional: changing MemCacheBudgetValue

MemCacheBudgetValue determines the size of the game's VRAM Cache. You can edit those values but the difference might not be noticeable in game. It also depends on your computer’s hardware how much you can allow here.

The two lines of seti MemCacheBudgetValue correspond to the high RAM level and low RAM level situations. Therefore, theoretically, the first line MemCacheBudgetValue should be set to a larger value, while the second line should be set to a value less than or equal to the first line.

The original values represent 200MB (209715200) and 160MB (167772160) respectively. They are calculated as 200x1024x1024=209175200 and 160x1024x1024=167772160.

Back up your GraphicsRules.sgr file! If you make a mistake here, your game won’t work anymore.

Go to your bin folder and open your GraphicsRules.sgr with a text editor.

Search and find two lines that set the variables for MemCacheBudgetValue.

Modify these two values to larger numbers. Make sure the value in the first line is higher or equals the value in the second line. Examples for values: 1073741824, which means 1GB 2147483648 which means 2 GB. -1 (minus 1) means no limit (but is highly experimental, use at own risk)

Save and close the file. It might prompt you to save the file to a different place and not allow you to save in the Bin folder. Just save it someplace else in this case and copy/paste it to the Bin folder afterwards. If asked to overwrite the existing file, click yes.

Now start your game and see if it makes a difference in smoothness or texture loading. Make sure to check RAM and VRAM usage to see how it works.

You might need to change the values back and forth to find the “sweet spot” for your game. Mine seems to work best with setting the first value to 2147483648 and the second to 1073741824.

Uninstallation

Delete these files from your bin folder (installation path):

d3d9.dll

DXVK.conf

TS3W.DXVK-cache

And if you have it, also TS3W_d3d9.log

if you changed the values in your GraphicsRule.sgr file, too, don’t forget to change them back or to replace the file with your backed up version.

OR

delete the bin folder and add it from your backup again.

B. with Reshade/GShade

Follow the steps from part A. no Reshade/Gshade to set up DXVK.

If you are already using Reshade (RS) or GShade (GS), you will be prompted to overwrite files, so choose YES. RS and GS may stop working, so you will need to reinstall them.

Whatever version you are using, the interface shows similar options of which API you can choose from (these screenshots are from the latest versions of RS and GS).

Please note: 

Each time you install and uninstall DXVK, switching the game between Vulkan and d3d9, is essentially changing the graphics card ID again, which results in the settings in your options.ini file being repeatedly reset.

ReShade interface

Choose – Vulcan

Click next and choose your preferred shaders.

Hopefully this install method works and it won't install its own d3d9.dll file.

If it doesn't work, then choose DirectX9 in RS, but you must make sure to replace the d3d9.dll file with DXVK's d3d9.dll (the one from its 32bit folder, checking its size is 3.86mb.)

GShade interface

Choose –           

Executable Architecture: 32bit

Graphics API: DXVK

Hooking: Normal Mode

GShade is very problematic, it won't work straight out of the box and the overlay doesn't show up, which defeats the purpose of using it if you can't add or edit the shaders you want to use.

Check the game's bin folder, making sure the d3d9.dll is still there and its size is 3.86mb - that is DXVK's dll file.

If installing using the DXVK method doesn't work, you can choose the DirectX method, but there is no guarantee it works either.

The game will not run with these files in the folder:

d3d10core.dll

d3d11.dll

dxgi.dll

If you delete them, the game will start but you can't access GShade! It might be better to use ReShade.

Some Vulcan and DirectX information, if you’re interested:

Vulcan is for rather high end graphic cards but is backward compatible with some older cards. Try this method with ReShade or GShade first.

DirectX is more stable and works best with older cards and systems. Try this method if Vulcan doesn't work with ReShade/GShade in your game – remember to replace the d3d9.dll with DXVK's d3d9.dll.

For more information on the difference between Vulcan and DirectX, see this article:

Shaving Mod - DOWNLOAD

Objects

2 types of razors: electric and disposable.

They can be purchased through electronics/misc, bathroom/accent, or from the supermarket RH.

Disposable razors have a max. 3 uses before expiring.

Electric razors may break and need repairing.

Only disposable razors can be used in the shower.

Interactions

Sims can shave off their beards using the sink! A full shave lasts for 72 hours - stubble will grow back 1 day prior to this.

Sims can also shave their beard into a style.

Sims can also shave their legs in the shower.

Other features

Some sims may nick themselves while shaving. The sims in question will have at least one of the following attributes:

traits: clumsy, absent minded, childish

buffs: sleepy, bad nights sleep, exhausted, dazed

age: teenager

About beard styles

The types of beards available are determined through the Beard Config XML in the mod's main package file. You can add your own beards, if they happen to have a CASP name, and also determine which of the beards may be chosen as stubble.

Known Issues

Sadly, I couldn't get all beards to play nice with the mod. The two EA beards 'amBeardMoustache' and 'amBeardMoustacheStubble' as shown in the screenshot below will not grow back once shaved or be applied to the sim when chosen as a style. As such, I have removed them from the beard XML and you will not see them in the drop-down like below. From my knowledge, these are the only two beards that act as such.

Other

Requirements: No EP or mod requirements

Recommendations: @nectar-cellar beard cc . Kitt Trapping Beards, Imamiii beards. Whichever Master Controller module allows for female body hair.

Special thanks: @twinsimming for providing the shaving cream overlay which she converted. Those who helped to test the mod @desiree-uk @its-time-o-clock @puffkins2000 @twinsimming and any others who tested but did not reveal themselves.

Tuning: There are tuneable values in the XML.

Uninstallation: You can use the cheat 'uninstallshaving' to safely clear the mod data before removing from your mods folder.

Compatibility

I do not use NRaas Dresser anymore so I'm unsure how how fervently it will try to add body hair to sims when enabled. Please keep this in mind if you see oddities.

Final

There is documentation in the download. Please have a read of it if you have questions. If something isn't clear, feel free to ask!

Download here: Simblr.cc - Shaving Mod - Shave and Grow Body Hair

If you would like to donate as thanks, please feel free to do so at my ko-fi!

Please enjoy,

New Update - March 2025

I'm excited to share a brand-new update for GetWildMOD & OceanLifeMOD! This update brings several improvements and new features to make your game even more immersive.

What's New:

Nanite Addon: Added an optional addon that allows nanites from Into the Future to spawn animals as well!

Spawn Fixes: Resolved an issue where too many green goldfinches were spawning.

New Animations: Enhanced animal movements for a more dynamic experience.

Easter Eggs: Added hidden surprises for players to discover!

Spawner Optimization: Improved efficiency for better performance and reduced lag.

How to Install:

Main Files:

Place the file "GetWildMod & OceanLifeMod Override Folder (Math Mod)" in the Mods/Overrides directory.

Place both "GetWildMod and OceanLifeMod Animals Package File (Math Mod)" and "GetWildMod Spawner Package File (Math Mod)" in the Mods/Packages directory.

Optional Addons:

For additional features, you can install the following optional addons:

Nanite Addon (NEW!) - Allows nanites to spawn animals!

GetWildMod Addon 1 - Enhanced Butterflies spawns Wildlife too!

GetWildMod Addon 2 - Enhanced Will-o'-the-wisp Butterflies spawns Wildlife too!

GetWildMod Addon 3 - Enhanced Fireflies spawns Wildlife too!

All optional addons should be placed in the Mods/Packages directory.

Important: If your PC doesn’t have a lot of memory, I recommend not installing all optional addons at once to avoid performance issues.
