5 Tile Garage Door by Qahne

"One of the things I love doing the most in The Sims 3 is recreating houses, but sometimes things end up just a bit "off". The garage doors occupying four full tiles and extending slightly over the edge has always been an aesthetic issue for me - generally you need to leave one tile on each side, which can throw off proportions and feel like a waste of space, and it also makes it very tough to recreate TS2 builds, where garage doors are equally wide but centered on five tiles instead.

So I fixed it.

I simply took the basegame garage door and shifted it one half tile, along with shifting all the information for routing, lighting, and most difficultly, the wallmasks. Feel free to use it as a basis for converting your own garage doors to five tiles!

...continued on MTS + more pictures."

Store "Chamber Door" - 2x1 by Qahne

[simspaghetti]

I always get asks about what mods I use, and as I've been playing World Adventures recently for the Completionist LEPacy challenge, I've been trying to compile some mods specific to that expansion - I thought I'd share all the ones I've found here so anyone else who is new to WA can have some recommendations!

If this ends up being useful to anyone, I'm happy to make one of these mod pack lists for each EP - let me know if that's something you'd like!

Also, if anyone has any more suggestions on mods I should add to this list, please let me know and I'll include them!

Nraas Traveller

This mod overhauls the travel system and allows all types & ages of sims to travel, and also allows travel to any EA or custom world you have installed, not just the 3 standard vacation ones - so your sims could take a vacation in Sunlit Tides or Monte Vista if they want to!

PotatoBalladSims distant terrain fix for France & Qahne's Smaller Eiffel Tower

These mods are both just small aesthetic changes for France, the first one fixes blocky trees in the distance and the second one makes the Eiffel Tower a way more realistic size

TheBleedingWoodland's Shang Simla Icon Fix

This changes Shang Simla's icon to the Forbidden City which is actually located in China

Twinsimming's Take Practice Shots Mod

The photography skill can be so tedious to level up as you have to take photographs manually, this mod makes it much easier as you can leave your sims to idlly practice photography like they can do with any other skill

OutOfIdeas' More Unique Adventures Per Day

I was having a big problem where I would go to a country in search of a specific adventure to unlock a tomb & have to return home 8 days later, having nothing come up on the adventure board during my sims stay - this mod fixes that annoying problem as it allows for more adventures to appear each day, there are several flavours to choose from so it's totally customisable with how 'cheaty' you want to go!

NanaBx3's fishing box chest fix

There used to be a small chance that sims would reel in a treasure box when going fishing, but the feature got borked in one of the patches years ago and was never fixed - this mod makes it more likely you will come across this cool feature, it features additional items to be discovered in treasure boxes if WA is installed

LowMotivesWarning's Not-So-Weak Mummies

This ups the athletic ability of mummies & likelihood of your sim getting cursed to make them much more dangerous & threatening

StrexSims More Townies for Vacation Worlds

This is not technically a mod as it's a pack of sims, but it basically allows for more of the sims walking around town to fit in with the aesthetics of that neighbourhood - if you like this pack I strongly recommend checking out this creator's other townie packs, as they've released them for most EA worlds!

Nectar Combinatorics

Minor improvement to the nectar-making skill that makes it more user-friendly, adds the option to experiment with random fruit until your sim works out some good combinations - then they can just add garuanteed 'good' fruit combinations to the machine rather than endlessly experimenting with fruit to find out what combos work

[Requires Late Night] Default Replacement Nectar Glass

Replaces the nectar tumbler glass with a much nicer looking wine glass, this does require LN to work otherwise the glass will be invisible!

CHAMPIGNAC CC ADDENDUM FILES PART 2

Yesterday, we talked about CC, mainly ATS, Votenga Medieval stuff and some lots creations : all those fantastic things which give relief and vibrance to a Sims 3 World :)

Today, let's talk about ANTS ... Absolute Necessary Things and Stuff to fully enjoy Champignac, beginning with Cyclone Sue Build Stuff ...

They are not numerous but ESSENTIAL to all our Worlds : Lost Cove - Oaksoak Hollow - Eureka Valley and now, Champignac ;)

Set Scaffolding, Truss and Steel Girders (Columns)

Set Porta-Potty portable toilets

Set Barbed and Chickenwire Fences

Set Alpine Roofline 45-degree Windows

Set Useful Walls

Alcatraz door + Alcatraz window

Metal Lattice Sliding Door

Still, from TSR, there is the Linea Natura Arch by BuffSum

In addition, don't forget the beautiful himalayan poppy field by @nilxis ( by Let's Lolalule Things )

And that's all for our ANTS build stuff :D

As You can see in the first picture above, no more problem with the alpha of the trees in the distant terrain \o/

We used a small override file : Smaller Eiffel Tower by Qahne @ MTS which creates 2 advantages, a smaller Eiffel Tower and the fix for the broken alpha settings of trees in distant terrain.

We discovered too on a NRAAS thread another cool modding file : ScooterOverride by Consort which brings teens to drive only scooters ... I mean the mythic Kenspa !

When a vacation world such as Champs les Sims becomes a fully suburbia world, it loses the Kenspa as main vehicle of the town. So we tried to minimize as much as possible this side effect and we added different Kenspa in our files. Of course, you may keep or not this choice ;) Up to you !

Now, there are other essential files we used ... such as : the Romanesque Connecting Column Arches Set by TheJim07 @ MTS we used in different locations of Champignac and bring A LOT to get really cool ambiant places.

Related to the Store stuff, we do not use much and anyway, you don't have to worry about, we'll provide a folder with the necessary files. Clean and updated. Except for the Al Fresco Market.

By the way, we'll update very soon every CC folder we provide on our website for each of our S3 Worlds : all cleaned and updated too.

To finish with this post, let us show you one of the biggest community lot of Champignac : Le Monastère which is too the Winery of the town ( of course there is a Winery ) ;)

This is a Sims Republic 2015 creation we modified a bit inside to suit Champignac ...

That's all folks ... for the moment. We are aware this kind of post is not as popular as the ones with a download link ... But that's wrong. Creating a world with a unique ambiance is only possible because of all these creations and creators. Maybe as Sims 3 players you already knows this stuff and so, not so interested to see it, again ... but wait and see, we tried very much to organize all those files with love and harmony ...

Next post : Champignac World ( aka Sims de Nimes ) and all the download links ;)

Buyable Servo

Test report

Test result

This is one of my oldest mods that still works great today. Without any robotic skills you can have a Robot Sim for purchase in Buy Mode.

The robot needs much less sleep than the normal Sim and does not need to eat. Surprisingly, she can fall in love and engage in other social activities. Sometimes it breaks down and your Sim fix it - still - without robotics skills and get rare parts for it.

To run it, just purchase a robotics workstation. For more tips and limitations, see the artist's original description.

Smaller Eiffel Tower by Qahne

"Champs Les Sims has always been one of my favourite worlds in TS3, and after having moved to France just a couple of weeks ago, it's become even more special to me. But that ghastly, enormous Eiffel Tower off in the distance is just too much. There's a great mod over at PotatoBalladSims to remove the tower entirely, but I just wanted it a bit less...obvious. So I resized it, with one version at 50% size and another at 33% size. The 50% size is still very visible, and the 33% size is a bit more subtle. Any bigger than 50% looks too big to me, and any smaller than 33% and you can't really tell what it is without squinting.

I also included the fix for the broken alpha settings with the distant terrain, so trees are actually trees and not black squares. If you just want the fix, it's at the same link above at PotatoBalladSims. This is a simple default replacement for the mesh for DT France, the distant terrain object from Champs Les Sims. Just pop it into your mods folder and it'll override the model and show up in Champs Les Sims or any other world that uses the same distant terrain, but you can't have any other mod that replaces the terrain object model in the game."

Sims 4 Post- Apocalyptic Decades Challenge by burnedparadisesims

The year is 2030. What happened to cause the Apocalypse is up to your imagination! The goal of this challenge is to restore New Crest back into a beautiful town. 

Rules:

(will update as I play my own save)

Gen 1 starts off with either a teen or young adult married couple (ethnicity/race doesn’t matter!) in a small utility shed with the Off The Grid lot trait on any lot in New Crest. You can use the tiny house pack for the extra perks. The household starts with zero simoleons. Your sims can scavenge for plants, frogs, etc. They can also fish, knit, candle make, garden, woodwork, paint or floral arrange. Cooking can be done on a grill or the fire pit from the Island Living pack.

You can start off with New Crest near empty or filled with broken-down abandoned lots; store, restaurant, bowling alley, spa...etc. The possibilities are endless! 

Auto-aging should be off. For the birthdays, sims will roll if they survive to their next life stage. I revamped the spreadsheet @morbidgamer​​​​ uses for her Decades Challenge on twitch. Her spreadsheet will have how long a sim year is, how many days each life stage is...etc. All credit to her, She started at the 1550s. Morbid got hers from the original challenge creator. 

Each heir if they survive the roll and age into a teen, will roll to see if they can move out and start a family and how many kids they can have. If the roll is good, they can move into an abandoned lot and gradually you can either restore the lot into what it was or make it a nice home for the future generations or both.

Each family last name will have a color. If the heir is male, the color stays the same. If the heir is female and she marries, her color changes.

You can only travel off the lot to scavenge and you can’t go anywhere that will require a loading screen. The time you’re allowed to travel is between families.

No interacting with townies. For the first generation, it’s only your heirs and their children. Through MCCC, remove all the townies or just delete if they go near your lot. Gen 2 it’s okay to have townies but try to not interact with them until Gen 3.

A toilet and sink can be in the shed but if they needed a bathtub, it has to be built via the woodworking table. If your sims want a dining table or chairs, that too needs to come from the woodworking table but if they have simoleons, you can build then trade it for another table and chairs. 

If you have the Laundry Pack, only use the wash bin and clothes line.

Anything else they want that can’t be built on the woodworking table and they have the simoleons, you can get from Build Buy but it has to be something that logically would make sense for them to have; like for a bed I had my couple start with a debug blowup mattress from Eco Lifestyle and when they had the simoleons I let them get a real bed that looked like it could have been made by them.  

No set style of clothes. I just chose steampunk for the fun of it but the point of this challenge is to have fun and get creative.

How the world gets created is up to you but some dates to follow:

2030: Year started 2040: If you have Eco Lifestyle, you can put a generator on the lot and slowly phase out using the Off The Grid lot trait 2060: School reopens 2060-2080: Heir for Gen 3 discovers herbology and studies to make medicine to sell and lower the young death percentage. 

My shed:

Mods recommended:

MC Command Center (teen pregnancy on for the first few gens, pregnancy & labor notifications on)

Slice of Life (optional)

Timeless Mod (optional) 

NoMoreAutoPhone

Wonderful Whims (medium fertility) 

Tool mod (optional but can do cool stuff with it)

Better Build Buy (optional but can get to debug easier)

Cow mod (optional and probably doesn’t fit the theme but COWS)

Qahne unlockWaterPump (easy to collect water)

Teleporter & Andrew Pose Player (portraits; also need s4studio)

All Cheats Mod

No School Mod (restore a school and remove the mod when it hits 2060 for the 30th anniversary) 

Use the hashtag #burnedparadisesimsdc if you play! Would love to see how you play this challenge!

Adobe Window Set

by Qahne

The Sims 4 has a lot of diverse build styles, some of which we've never really had in the other games, and of particular interest to me are many of the essential southwestern build items. I've decided to adapt some of the key items over. Adapt is the key word here - The Sims 4 has such a different art style that a straight up conversion wouldn't look too good. I love the "Charm and Clarity" windows added with The Sims 4: Discover University, but like most TS4 windows, they were lacking in depth and had some odd quirks. So I took the single counter window, adjusted the mesh to make it a little more three dimensional, and crafted a whole window set out of it. The result is six windows: a privacy window, three counter-height windows and two tall windows, all fully recolourable and with custom lights so they let exactly as much light in as they're supposed to. The single windows are two tiles wide, and the double windows are three tiles wide. I also made two separate RGB layouts - one where the lintel is identical inside and outside, and one where the lintel is the same colour as the rest of the inside. Just like in Discover University, these windows work just as well for Tudor and English Cottage builds as they do for Adobe ones - these are really so versatile that they'll work with anything, and they have cute little details like chips and latches. The "Adobe and Away" windows can all be found under Windows for 45 each. I hope you enjoy this versatile, rustic little set as much as I do. Polygon Counts: Privacy: 686 vertices Counter single: 830 vertices Counter double: 1165 vertices Counter wide: 1178 vertices Tall Single: 942 vertices Tall Double: 2081 vertices Additional Credits: Original mesh and textures from The Sims 4: Discover University
