Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I've been pretty quiet on here, but that doesn't mean I've stopped simming! First up I'd like to say thanks (and sorry!) to all the lovely people who've sent me messages :) I'm gonna try my best to reply to everyone asap!

For christmas I wanted to share something special - so here is the public release of the first version of my Decorating Tools mod (or S3DT)

Quick Description - This mod adds hotkeys to the game to allow you to move objects up/down, left/right and rotate in all directions, similar to T.O.O.L for TS4 PDF Guide included below!

To my wonderful patrons - thank you for your support <3 I feel bad that real life has gotten in the way of me delivering more content to you all, so I'll likely be closing it soon! If it's possible, I'll also refund the last couple of months due to my inactivity. Anyone who wants to can still donate to my Ko-Fi

MOD INSTRUCTIONS AND DOWNLOAD BELOW THE CUT

This version is compatible with icarusallsorts' Transmogrifier Mod, and until I can figure out how to script it better, my mod actually REQUIRES it in order for them to be compatible together.

*** EDIT - For some, you might need to use CTRL + SHIFT + Click to bring up object menus! ***

If you would like a version that does not require the Transmogrifier (but is therefore incompatible) send me a message!

FUTURE PLANS: - Adapting movement depending on camera direction - Adding a UI interface for interactions and manual rotations etc. - Scaling interactions with hotkeys

Don't be afraid to reply to this post, send me an ask or a private message if you have any questions or problems. I'm also in the Creator's Cave discord, so feel free to @ me there too :) And please tag me or use the tag #S3DT if you come up with any cool ways to use this mod!

Thank you to @greenplumbboblover for her help with pesky matrix44's, granthes and Misukisu for laying the groundwork for this mod, and @puddingface1902 for his super helpful videos!

Sims 3: Shelf Edits - Full Rotation Slots (UNI, Supernatural, & ITF) + Hide When Walls Down (ITF)

Compressed. 1 zip file (all included, unmerged).

➨ Download SFS isn't working. ➨ Alt Download

My cc is always free, but if you would like to support my work, please consider leaving me a tip on ko-fi.

Information:

These are default replacements. I have separated them into folders for each EP (ITF, UNI, and Supernatural).

There are two versions (you can use both at the same time). One edits the slots to make them full rotation, the other edits only the ITF shelf so it is hidden when walls are down. The other shelves are hidden here.

Full Rotation will conflict with anything that edits the RSLT. Hide Wall Down will conflict with anything that edits the OBJD (this conflicts with my object hiders).

✤✤ MEDIEVAL FONT OVERRIDE ✤✤

This replaces all (i think?) fonts with Almendra, a medieval style font. I'm using this medieval ui mod in the preview.

First of all you need to download the font from HERE. You can save it anywhere, just double click each file and hit "Install".

The download includes one package calle "UI.package". You will have to replace the one found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\UI. MAKE A BACK UP OF THE ORIGINAL!! Also keep it for when/if you want to switch back to the EA font.

Medieval Mods/CC WIPS

I have a BUNCH of behind the scenes projects, some of which I´ve posted over on the medieval sims discord!

Medieval Ingredients and Recipe Overhaul ft. variable eggs!! So each time you collect an egg, it'll be a different texture. (Also using this technique on capsicums/bell peppers, so you can have red, green and yellow ones on the same plant!). The ale barrel is functional and can also be used as an ingredient.

2. Ghost Story Image and Prop Default - replaces the torch with a candle and changes the images to more medieval-style monsters

3. Functional Butter Churn - the animation has been slowed down since I took this video lol

4. Functional Medieval Lighting - including lanterns, torches, candelabras with multiple flames etc. AND default candle flame effect

5. Medieval CAS Room

6. UI and Loading Screen Edits - couldn't find my other screenshots :(

7. Thatch Roof Object

8. Horse and Cart - this is still in very early stages so no pictures yet, but I´m at least 75% confident I can get this to work lmao

[pretenshussim]

The Ultimate CAS Catalog Overhaul - for real this time!

@lorasandolasbycz asked:

Hi! I love that you made ridiculous sims 3 outfit hiders. Is the procedure with putting them in and getting them to work just the standard? Put the package in sims 3>mods>packages ? For some reason the ridiculous outfits are still in my game. Thanks a bunch! 

Well this turned out significantly longer than I anticipated 😂 I did notice that those hiders weren’t working anymore for some reason, but figured it was just my game being pissy, so I left them up and went through ALL sim CAS items again to reorganize them (it was long overdue anyway). This is what I’ll be posting here. It’s a long-ass post, so check under the cut for details.

This applies for all EPs minus ITF, and for HELS. Also I did not initially mean to share these, so only the hairs have previews (because I gave them custom thumbnails). All of them are default replacements, meaning you need to have the EPs/SP for them to do anything. You can put them in any folder you want, as long as it’s under Mods\Packages.

Colorful TS4 Cursors for TS3

I'd been using Arro's TS4-to-TS3 cursors for awhile, but now and then I kept wishing for a dark cursor scheme that matched the one I use on Windows, so I went through the cursors one by one to change them to dark versions. And then I felt like making colorful versions as well, so here we are 😁

Here you have:

1 new flat black cursor scheme that's an inverted (edited) version of Arro's;

7 new cel-shaded cursor schemes (black, green, yellow, teal, orange, pink (matches the Sakura UI), violet (matches the Wisteria UI), light blue (matches the default UI);

4 new gradient-shaded cursor schemes (blue/cyan, green/yellow, pink/purple, purple/green).

The spinning wheel cursor is not replaced.

ℹ️ You can place the .package file either in Mods \ Packages, or in Mods \ Overrides. I put it in Overrides, but it doesn't really matter.

⚠️ Use only one cursor scheme at a time! These will also conflict with UI mods that affect cursors. To use these (or any) custom cursors with existing UI edits that also modify cursors, open the UI edit in S3PE and import the cursor .package into it, with the 'Replace existing' option ticked.

Credit: @arro-now for converting the white TS4 cursors to TS3.

Gardener’s Dream Collection 🌻

Sometimes a simple planter bowl isn’t enough to tame our green thumbed sims! Now with these lovely planter boxes, sims can grow up to four plants in each box. The standalone planter boxes are from the base game, The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat, and The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle. The modular planter boxes along with one stand alone box are from the Cottage Garden set by The Plumbob Tea Society. I also converted the dirt plot from The Sims 4: Cottage Living, which has room for nine plants total! I removed the pathing footprint from the modular corner piece so sims can reach all of the plants. The sim will clip a bit, but I wanted to make sure they could care for every plant.

Welcome To Urbzville! 🧡

[pretenshussim]

Wellcome to Pycassos Islands!

So, it's been a while since I made this world in CAW... If I remember well I deliberately avoided to have any trees or flowers CC.

HOWEVER, it's another story entirely about the lots... Antique buildings require a TON of CC, dontcha know?

Anyway, you shoulgn't have much in the way of builds anyway. CAW has a tendency to go bust if I build on a world BEFORE packaging it.

So, it is a mainly empty place with no roads.

Now, if you have questions, I'll do my best to answer.

Have fun!

Several NRaas Mods Have Recently Updated!

Just sharing this for others that use the full suite of NRaas Mods - they have official updates for the first time in a few years thanks to the amazing people keeping that site going.

I am particularly excited to see the effects of the update to Selector, which is trying to address Pie Menu lag.

Head here for the updates: https://www.nraas.net/community/Update-History

This mod edits the models of fish so that when you place them in the world they don't turn into tiny grey fish! This should make it much more fun to create fish markets, supermarket displays and just for general decorating :) All fish can be placed on small slots.

This currently does NOT change the model of the fish that cats catch when they are hunting, I tried many times but couldn't get it to work unfortunately.

This mod only overrides the MODELS not TEXTURES so any default replacement textures you have will be compatible!

Thank you so much to @bietjie for helping with the huge job of adding geostates to all the fish!

Sorry to be harping on this, but I’ve finished backing up gelina’s content to Mega! 😁 This is a continuation of my previous post, where I listed all of gelina’s content with her original links. Most of her links still work since the CC was uploaded to Mega or Mediafire, but some of the unreleased/unavailable content was uploaded to SFS, and considering the upcoming server move, we don’t want to risk losing anything.

As usual, you can view the content in thumbnail or list mode, and download the entire folder(s) as .zip archives.

Today is a big day: I am sharing my first world – “Simynthos” – with all of you! I’m very nervous about it, actually. It’s the first world I ever finished!

So what kind of world is it? It's inspiration, the island of Corfu, is one of the more northern islands of Greece. It is greener than the southern islands, and the architectural style is a bit different. It has surprisingly high mountains and cute little villages with tiny orange houses and narrow roads and pathways. It has olive groves with trees more than a thousand years old, and it has beaches with some of the clearest water I ever swam in. I tried to capture Corfu's atmosphere in this little world, so that my simmies may enjoy it, too! And now I hope, your simmies will enjoy it as well :)

To make it a “quick” project (still took more than a year, though 😬) I used the existing world “Sa Pineda” by the amazing @nilxis as a base. The island itself was not created by me, I only created the houses/lots and made over the vegetation.

Even though it is on a tiny map, it is a full world with several houses. It has almost all rabbit holes, and a lot for your sims to do – well, at least considering the sizes of the place. It can be a home world as well as a vacation world with Nraas Traveler mod (can be found here).

Other than my previous builds it does contain some CC. Most of it comes with the download, but not all (you will find all links to additional CC below).

If you would like a (almost) CC-free version, please message me! I will gladly try to make it look good without CC, if I know that someone wants that! However, you will always need the rabbit hole rugs if you want the rabbit holes! But I could remove all decorative CC and try to decorate with non-cc items.

I had a lot of fun building on this little island. I also learned a lot and I hope to use all the experience I gathered from this first completed project for my next world!

Details:

tiny map (256x256)

contains CC (most of it is included in the download, but not all. Links are provided for the items not included, see below in the “Links to CC…” section.)

no Store content used

road-less

unpopulated

9 finished residential lots

17 community lots

3 dive lots

two empty lots, one community, one residential

contains most rabbit holes. The ferry provides room for additional rabbit hole rugs in case you want to place some that are not included.

Packs used: I have all expansion packs and all stuff packs installed, and have probably used items from almost all of them.

Packs you will definitely need for full functionality: Island Paradise (for the Dive Lots, the Ferry, and the All-in-One Bathrooms), Late Night for the Bars, Supernatural for the Elixir Shop, World Adventures for the Nectar Maker and the Nectar Racks, University Life for the Coffee Bar, and Ambitions for the Salon and Tattoo Studio, Showtime for the Karaoke Machine, on one lot I used the grill from Outdoor Living Stuff.

I used a lot of furniture from the Seasons and the Pets expansions. This is non-functional, but the world will look different if you do not have these expansion.

A word of warning (please read this!):

This world is TINY! But for its size I packed A LOT into it. This means, however, that lots and buildings are on the small to tiny side. So not all game options may be available on all lots.

The Weather-Stone may not spawn due to lack of a suitable location.

There is some kelp visible from map view next to one of the dive lots. I could not find a way to remove it, unfortunately, although I tried everything I could think of. If it bothers you the workaround is this: Go into edit town, select build on the dive lot. Without doing anything leave build mode and leave edit town. Now the kelp should not be visible anymore for this in-game-session. You will have to do it over again the next time you start up your save, though.

The proximity to community lots will mean that you can hear the noise from concerts, movies and sports events or even just music very loudly on some residential lots. I recommend you turn down the volume of music and effects in the game options to around ¼ of the bar. You will still hear the sounds on the residential lots, but not as loudly.

I advise against playing with horses on Simynthos due to the limited space and the lag they can cause. See recommended mods section below for more details.

Snow may look black in some places, mostly on or near the paths due to me having to paint under the walkways I placed. Sa Pineda already came with 8 terrain paints. I decided not to change the terrain paint, as it was very nicely done by the creator, and also snow is probably a rare occurrence on Corfu. If you want to, you can just disable snow/winter in the options.

Highly recommended mods for performance and functionality:

TheSweetSimmer’s Pick Up Toddler Fix: If you want to play with families you will absolutely need this mod! Without it you may not be able to pick up toddlers at all due to the limited space inside some of the houses.

OhRudi’s space saving mods: I recommend all of ohRudi’s space saving mods for this world:

“Fix: Pets need less space”

“Fix: Sims need less space”

“Fix: Guitar needs less space for playing”

“Fix: Bass needs less space for playing”

Nraas Register: Horses will cause lag on Simynthos due to the limited space on the island and the extensive space that horses need for routing (even with ohRudi’s mod), so I recommend disabling horses in the game options and using nraas Register mod to deactivate wild horses completely.

Nraas Debug Enabler: The dive lots on Simynthos have the same problem that all dive lots seem to have: If you want to explore the caves, you will need to reset them first. If you forget your sim will be reset to the beach. Best way to do this is using Nraas “Debug Enabler” mod (click on cave > Nraas > Debug Enabler > Options: Name of Cave > Object > Reset).

Nraas Go Here: I generally recommend Nraas Go Here mods “Teleport for everyone” option, just in case a sim or a pet gets stuck somewhere.

Other recommended mods (optional):

You can have functioning Greek restaurants on Simynthos if you use these two mods together:

icarus_allsorts’s “Eat Outside Restaurants”

Cinderellimouse’s “Cooking and Ingredients Overhaul”

Both mods combined will allow you to set the menu for the diner or bistro rabbit hole to Greek dishes (or any other dishes you prefer) and order these dishes from a waiter on the lot. How cool is that?!

Links to CC that’s not included in the download:

You will need these Jynx rabbit hole rugs (Pets Fix), from this thread on MTS:

Late Night rabbit hole rugs (Pets fix)

Base Game rabbit hole rugs (Pets fix)

You will need the Left and Right versions of this mattress for two sims to sleep in a double bed that is placed against a wall.

I recommend you use @nilxis beautiful “Mediterranian Day” lighting mod.

Credits:

Thanks to @nilxis, the creator of „Sa Pineda“, for the beautiful base to this world. The island on which Simynthos was build is entirely their creation. I did not change the island itself or the terrain painting outside the lots. All credit for that goes to them! You can find the original version here. Also make sure to check out their other worlds, while you‘ re at it. They are some of my favorite worlds!

Thanks also to @aroundthesims for their amazing CC! If you do not know their website yet, you should definitely check it out! They have a lot of really cool items!

Thanks to @nornities for their extremely helpful CAW guide here. Unfortunately I only found this guide when Simynthos was almost finished. I could have avoided some of the mistakes I made, had I found it sooner!

Some of you may know, that I am not the first to make a Greek version of Sa Pineda. Back in 2016 Vendela created Simtorini. This super cute world has the typical blue and white houses another Greek island, Santorini, is famous for. Go check it out here.

Boroughsburg Communal Center

What started as a small communal orchard by members of the PPS (Proletarian Party of Simmerica) in the ‘70s, it grew to a communal center with a library, workshops and even a theater (besides the orchard’s expansion to the rooftop)! The neighboring refectory/homeless shelter is not a part of the BBurg Communal Center, but they often collab with each other by doing food festivals and vaccination campaigns.

Posting this lot here just in time for the International Workers Day, while juggling w/ college, personal life and some other projects of mine

Anyways, this lot was built for @potato-ballad-sims​’ Boroughsburg and works as a Big Park (for SimFests). It’s meant to be placed on 22 Newtown Street (the 64x64 lot), across the street from the Smashdancers People’s Club.

Requires all EPs (yes, even Showtime and Into the Future) and the CC that comes w/ Boroughsburg. No SPs or Store
