i always love seeing your gameplay posts, they inspire me to play myself!! are there any mods you recommend to make the game more fun and/or realistic?

aw thank you so much!! knowing people like it also inspires me to play more :)

first of all i find a lot of gameplay mods through modthesims and creators here on tumblr: anitmb, twinsimming, olomaya, phoebejaysims, the sweet simmer @ mts, petalruesimblr, riverianepondsims (really want to try her tennis mod)

definitely check out those creators blogs to see all the gameplay mods they offer!!

nraas

nraas career + self-employed module: i am using this one mainly for the personal trainer career. your sim registers at city hall and then you can train other sims on any exercise equipment and earn $, it's kind of like a live career. with nraas careers you can also install more rabbithole careers for adults and teens from modthesims or missyhissy.

nraas relativity: i use this mod to slow down time so that my sims have more time during the day to do stuff. i set the speed to 19. you can edit the time speed by clicking on any clock or on city hall.

nraas register: i use this mod to disable paparazzi, tourists, and wild animals.

icarus_allsorts at modthesims

autonomous fun in the sun mod: makes sims do more stuff at beach

eat outside restaurants mod: makes restaurant rabbitholes more alive because sims are eating outside

lazyduchess lot population reduced mod: makes all lots more populated, more chances to socialize and get into drama. warning that lots can get really busy though!!

aroundthesims3

sandy has a lot of items that add gameplay. check out:

outdoor section

entertainment section

also the pets, kids, and downtown sections

EA Store - get these from blamseastore or free-sims3 archive

rim rockin basketball hoop: adds ability for sims to play basketball!! perfect for park/gym/university/community center lot

business as usual bistro: you can make your own restaurant for sims (also comes with a pre-built lot) to autonomously come in, sit down, order food, socialize. ani also has the "business as unusual" mod which is more in-depth.

deliciously indulgent bakery: adds more baking recipes and a pre-built cupcake shop lot you can place down

lucky simoleon casino: comes with lucky palms gold - you get a casino. the store also has a "double down poker and roulette bundle" for more gambling games you can add.

partaeus maximus statue: put it on any lot to make sims enjoy parties more.

DIY fitness career

you can make your own gym/exercise studio(s) around town and have your sim make a living by training others.

nraas careers self employed as trainer: train sims on the default gym equipment

twinsimming yoga mod + spin class mod: sims can teach yoga classes and lead spin classes using the cc yoga mat and cc exercise bike.

olomaya get pumped mod: sims can teach fitness classes using the cc exercise mats.

DIY twitch streamer career

ani simtube camera: your sim talks in front of a camera. improves social networking skill & adds blog posts to the blog app

twinsimming livestreaming mod: improves celeb level, social networking, video game skills

twinsimming level up video game skill mod: play video games, improvde video game skill, participate in tournaments to earn $ prizes

you can pair this with other jobs (modelling, singing, acting, etc.) for a sim who is trying to be a self-made social media star.

Hello everyone! We sincerely apologize for the long wait. Some of our items have arrived and we would like to give you a sneak peek!

Our Double-Sided Keychains and Acrylic Pins are here! Along with our Prints and Bookmarks!

The mods and contributors have also agreed to give the profits of the zine to The Jackson Galaxy Project! A charity that helps improves the lives of cats everywhere and makes sure that every cat is cared for!

The rest of our merch items along with zine booklets is expected to arrive during April. Another update post will be made when the bundles will be ready to ship. We apologize for these delays!

[alongthewayfanzine]

Below the cut is a detailed FAQ for the zine. Please read before sending questions!

General Information

What is this zine about?

Along the Way is a charity zine celebrating the Linked Universe as a comic, a fandom, and a community.  The overall theme will focus on the found family aspects of the chain and the friendships forged on their journey. Each of the 9 Linked Universe Links will have a section dedicated to them, which will include 1 short story and 3 pages of art.

Is the zine digital or physical?

Both! The zine will be produced as a digital PDF and as a physical book.

Will there be extra merch?

Yes! There will be a keychain, a bookmark, and 3 sticker designs available in addition to the zine.

What's the content rating for the zine?

The zine will be limited to a maximum content rating of Teen, or PG-13. The tone of the zine will be optimistic, so we won't be including any intense content.

Will the zine feature AUs or ships?

No, this zine will not feature any specific AUs or ships. Along the Way is focused on the friendships between the Links.

Regarding headcanons, we will be sticking as close to canon as we can. Widely-accepted fanon (i.e. Time and Warriors knowing each other from the War of Eras) can be acceptable, but is discouraged.

If you have a specific question about what is and isn't alright to include, ask the mods.

What's the production schedule?

You can find the full timeline, including contributor deadlines, here.

~~~

Finances and Charity Information

How much will the zine cost?

Right now, we are planning on making four bundles available--digital only ($0), physical zine only, merch only (3 stickers, 1 bookmark, 1 keychain), and full (physical zine + merch). Prices are still being figured out, but the current estimate is around $30-35 USD + S&H (calculated separately and varies based on location). The price will change depending on how many people order, and we aim to keep prices as low as possible!

After contributor sign-ups close, we plan on holding another interest check to more accurately gauge how many people are planning to order before pre-orders open. With that we should be able to make a more accurate price estimate.

What are the shipping costs?

Shipping within the US is estimated to be around $15 (though this is subject to change depending on weight and size).

The zine is based out of the United States, so the unfortunate reality is that shipping costs will increase with distance.  We have plans to coordinate shipping to Europe and Australia, and potentially South America and Asia if there is enough demand. Details will be determined later on in the process.

How is the money being used?

Along the Way is a nonprofit charity zine. Money will first be used to cover the cost of creating and shipping the zine and associated merch, after which all additional proceeds will be donated to the AbleGamers Foundation.

What's the AbleGamers Foundation?

A charity focusing on "creating opportunities that enable play in order to combat social isolation, foster inclusive communities, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities". They have won several awards for working with disabilities and give their own awards to games with accessible features. You can learn more about them on their website here!

~~~

Contributor Information

Who can contribute?

Writers and artists will comprise the majority of the zine, but cosplay and crafts are also welcome.

Contributors must be aged 18+.

How many contributors are there?

Each Link has been assigned one writer and two artists, for a total of 9 writers and 18 artists. We also have 5 merch artists (with a few of them doing page art as well!)

Will contributors be paid?

Since this is a nonprofit charity zine, contributors will not be paid. Depending on our budget, we may be able to offer free copies of the zine, or free merchandise. Details will be determined later.

Where do I apply?

As of 8/29, applications are now closed!

~~~

Communication

Communication with contributors will be handled using both a private Discord server and direct email.

Discord will be used for announcements and deadline reminders for contributors.

Official communications will be through our email, alongthewayfanzine@gmail.com.

How can I contact the mods?

For the general public, feel free to send an ask to this blog. For contributors, Discord is the best option for general questions (Discord handles are listed below). For urgent needs, email us!

Can I send questions through Tumblr?

Yes, Tumblr asks are open! I (mod G3) will do my best to answer as quickly as possible, though please note that Tumblr is not the most direct method of communication with the mods.

If you are a contributor, we would prefer you use either Discord or email for communication.

I don't have Discord. Can I still be a contributor?

Yes! All official communications will be through email, so it's okay if you can't join the Discord.

~~~

We have four mods on our team!

[doom-nerdo-666]

2024-03-29: dhewm3 1.5.3

"Just in time for the Easter weekend, dhewm3 1.5.3 is done!

This brings (the often-requested) support for gamepads, as long as they’re supported by SDL2. This includes XBox Controllers (and compatible ones), Playstation 3-5 controllers, Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers, many thirdparty controllers for those consoles, and lots of other gamepads for PC. See the Configuration documentation for how to make make it work (well, basically you can just plug in your gamepad and configure bindings in the Controls menu, but I also provide configs with default bindings that you could use). Furthermore, dhewm3 now supports taking screenshots in different formats: TGA (like before), BMP, JPEG and PNG. Last but not least, there were several bugfixes and other small improvements, see the list below for details.

You can download dhewm3 1.5.3 at Github (incl. builds for Windows and 64bit Linux for both dhewm3 and the supported mods).

Changes since 1.5.2:

Support for gamepads (based on code from Quadrilateral Cowboy, but heavily expanded). See Configuration.md for more information.

Support different file formats for screenshots by setting the r_screenshotFormat CVar (0 = TGA, still the default, 1 = BMP, 2 = PNG, 3 = JPG). r_screenshotJpgQuality and r_screenshotPngCompression allow configuring how JPG/PNG are compressed. Thanks eezstreet (Nick Whitlock)!

Fixed problems with lights after loading a savegame (#495)

Fix volume of some weapon sounds, like chaingun being too quit (#326)

Increase stack size on Windows to 8MB (instead default of 1MB) to make loading huge models work

Fixed crash in Radiant Model Preview Dialog (#496)

Fix MD3 model support

Several new CMake options:

To enable Clang/GCC Address Sanitizer and Undefined Behavior Sanitizer

Hardlink the game code into the executable (instead of using game DLLs, only supports base or d3xp then; needed for Undefined Behavior Sanitizer)

Force colored diagnostic output from GCC or Clang (esp. useful when building with ninja)

Fix several compiler warnings

Added build instructions for Linux (and similar systems) to README.md

Added documentation for dhewm3-specific settings (mostly CVars): Configuration.md

Updated stb_image and stb_vorbis

Updated minizip (from zlib/contrib) to latest upstream code

Added in_namePressed CVar to print currently pressed key/button (useful for binding keys in the console or configs). Thanks Biel Bestué de Luna!

Probably more bugfixes I forgot to list here..

Updated bundled libs in build for Windows: OpenAL Soft 1.23.1, SDL 2.30.0, cURL 8.6.0, zlib 1.3.1

Linux binary build now requires SDL 2.0.12 or newer (I provide an updated libSDL2-2.0.so.0 though). If you compile dhewm3 yourself, older SDL2 versions (and SDL1.2) are still supported (however, SDL1.2 doesn’t support gamepads)"

[skyboxeye]

Capturing the ambience of Jazzpunk

This unpredictable comedy/art title takes the player through a disorienting array of settings which can only seem coherent in retrospect.

Capturing footage

To open Jazzpunk's developer console, press ~ while in-game. Useful commands are: unlocklevels (amusingly there is a locklevels command as well) and noclip, or fnc ("fast no clip"). Be sure to also disable the pointer UI via the options menu.

You can speed yourself up on foot using the walkfast command. Noclip speed is adjusted separately using set noclip speed <float>.

There are a couple of unlisted commands that alter the game's rendering quality. I recommend running antialias and forward to toggle anti-aliasing and forward rendering respectively.

Extracting sounds

Since Jazzpunk is built on Unity, we can use AssetStudio. This tool can extract AdioClips and inspect scene hierarchies, but annoyingly it can't seem to do both at once.

That is, we'll still need to figure out which assets map to our scene, using context clues. We can filter assets by AudioClip to help narrow our search.

There is also a tool called Asset Bundle Extractor, which is seemingly modding-oriented. It's possible I was missing some kind of plugin, but I couldn't get this to identify or extract Jazzpunk assets. Perhaps it could be used to mute the game's (wonderful and original) music, in order to play only ambience?

Playing the original release

Only Jazzpunk: Director's Cut is currently offered for sale. If you wish to "downgrade" to the game as it original released, you can use a third-party Steam tool like DepotDownloader. Find Jazzpunk's content listing in a third-party database to inform your command:

DepotDownloader.exe -app 250260 -depot 250261 -manifest 5748178397053210322 -username YOURNAME

You'll find Director's Cut significantly expanded certain mission scenery:

There are also subtle improvements in Director's Cut, like individual torch light sources on Kai Tak Resort:

9. Have you made a simself? yep! once i saw that simstrouble hair i had to make myself! but i've only shared it to my good friend @oasivy!! maybe i'll show you all in the future.

10. What sim traits do you give yourself? lazy, foodie and hot-headed. nooo those are awful traits but it's true....ok if i had 5 traits then it's also clumsy and perfectionist!!

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color? i love all the blond hair swatches!!

12. Favorite EA hair? when i saw that outdoor retreat hair, the one wavy hair parted in the middle i used it on all my females! it was my favourite at the time, but now i only use cc hairs.

13. Favorite life stage? has to be YA. i always have lots of plans with them and get the most gameplay at that stage (as you can tell).

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? definitely gameplay, but my building is slowly improving! i rarely go into cas unless it's to create a new sim for my legacy

15. Are you a CC creator? nope! no skills or patience lol

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? yes! i have talked to a lot of wonderful people here, simblr would not be the same without you guys!!

How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing? i was an on/off sims 4 player since 2015 and back then i was completely vanilla, then i found out about cc in 2018! only in 2022 i started using more skin details and gshade. but one thing's for sure, i have always been a legacy player!!

21. What’s your Origin ID? same as my simblr, but there's nothing on my gallery. i changed it bc it used my real first name and i upload sims for ppl to download on simblr, but ive not done that for a very long time.

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator? there are too many creators that i have downloaded everything of. i love everything from pralinesims!!

23. How long have you had a simblr? this simblr is almost a year old! i started posting on the 13th July 2022!

24. How do you edit your pictures? i completely rely on my personal gshade/lighting mods and don't really edit, i just sharpen on photopea or add the moodlet stuff when needed.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far? when cottage living came out it was my absolute favourite!! i made all my families live there including nsb pink gen, gen 4 of another legacy and my 100 baby challenge! by the time i started my postcard legacy i played with too much cottage living so i decided to start on freegan.

26. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? honestly it would be great if the sims team improves the older packs, i feel mostly everything from previous games have been included. but it was family gameplay i wanted before growing together was released.

i'll tag: @weindenburg @raiiny-bay @bloomingkyras @glowbloom @igotsnothing but feel free to ignore ❤️

(Not So) Recent Patches

Guess who forgot they made this blog.

Patches since I last updated include (and may not be limited to):

Ideology Floors Stuffed - Added a toggle to unlock all ideology floors regardless of active styles.

Plant Gen Patches - Added support for Biomes: Islands! - Reworked deconflict patches (bananas, coconuts, etc) for hopefully broader compatibility - A number of small tweaks

Cyanobot's Genes - Fixed several bugs relating to genetic diet - By request, added a bundle of several additional brown hair colors - Implemented a better method of debug logging that ought to reduce the odds of me leaving a bunch of logspam active in future - Patched the Offspring genes to work with several modded modes of reproduction (eggs, asexual reproduction, etc). Further patches are still ongoing

Softness Control - Added default softnesses for Onimods - Plant Fiber - Added default softnesses for Optimized Leather - Improved documentation - Uploaded to GitHub

wouldn't it be awesome if the sonic generations remaster was a graphically upscaled version of the game with actually improved textures and lighting (without altering the core art direction of the game), bundled in with the 3DS game's content as another mode with proper controller support and resolution upscaling, and on top of that comes bundled with the original version of the game on steam so as not to delete the 12 years of modding history for the most modded sonic game of all time?

yknow what scratch that. crank the bloom and fuck up the art direction all you want, just PLEASE let the original game be accessible and PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETELY DELIST THE GAME WITH ITS 12+ YEARS OF MODDING HISTORY

In a further update, I did finally manage to get a copy of the 2013 Skyrim: Legendary Edition (a.k.a., the original 32-bit version, plus bug fixes and the first three DLC packs) installed and running playably with controller support working! That's the version I started out with on PS3.

Not through Steam, since they haven't had it available at all for several years apparently. I did manage to find the original minus that DLC bundle in the store, though it's been hidden by Bethesda's request and won't show up on internal searches. But nah, it's grey market all the way here. I'm ethically fine with that, especially since I now own copies of this for two platforms, plus that currently unsuitable remastered version that I just bought.

Also finally figured out that I can do more reasonable screen recording on the Windows side through the built-in X-Box game bar thing. Annoyingly, I couldn't quite figure out how to get it to also capture its own HUD, and I was too tired to try very hard by that point.

The Windows screenshot tool would show it, but kept taking over so that it stopped displaying the framerate. Idek, and again I am too tired to figure much more out tonight. It was mostly running at somewhere around 30FPS on "Medium" graphics preset at 1280x768, so I was happy enough with that for now. Can probably tweak more to improve matters.

So yeah, I am looking forward to farting around with that some tomorrow. Probably try to get some mods working, for the hell of it. For now, I was worn out and need to be up and moving too early tomorrow, so I'm calling it a night before even getting further into the Helgen intro.

Once again I remember that they used to sell all the classic genesis sonic games (except cd) on steam for $0.99-4.99 each. The download came with uncompressed roms you could use with any emulator you like, as well as integrated workshop mod support for romhacks, and an official emulator bundled with them.

Then right before Sonc Origins came out, they took all those off the store. It is now impossible to purchase the ACTUAL classic games because they want you to pay $40 for "upgraded" (and in several ways inferior) versions of what used to be like a total of $10. Versions that have altered physics, music, etc. This makes me so angry from a stance of both video game preservation as well as a consumer. The team who worked on Origins and the Genesis remasters have done really good work and their new versions are definitely improvements several ways, but at the end of the day, they are *not the Genesis games*. And I wish Sega didn't destroy their historical transparency in favor of them.

WEEK 56: I bought all of the lightspeed bundles that came out this week. My roster has grown so much so quickly that I don’t feel like I have a good handle on it. Next time Grand Arena starts, I’ll need to completely reset my defensive squads. I’ll need a totally new strategy for TW too.

I made it to the bonus tier of the Raddus event, so it’s just a matter of time until that one is 7 starred. I’m actually out of ship blueprints for the first time in a long time, so the Finalizer isn’t yet level-maxed. I can’t quite get through the bonus tier on that one yet, so I’m buying the blueprints in the shard shop. I won a couple of fleet arena battles with Negotiator, and it felt really nice to move up in the ranks a bit there, although I think I may have already plateaued again. I would really love to break in to the top 50 so that I can start earning crystals there, but my arena shard is so old that I think it’s really hard to break through.

I bumped Boba Fett up to Relic 8 for Executor purposes, which is now the highest relic level I have. I spent some of the new Episode Shipment currency on omicrons last week, and today I used it for some aurodium heat sinks. I’m crunched for resources all over the place with all these LSBs - relic mats, signal data, mods, omegas. Lots of competing priorities, too: I want to get the IG-2000 7-starred so that I can finish the Millennium Falcon journey, but I also want to use regular energy on Piett shards, because he’s stuck at gear level 11 until I can get him to 7 stars. So I’m kind of trying to push to finish IG-2000, Piett & Vader at the same time.

I’m currently ranked #1 in the LS Hoth TB that my guild is running, which doesn’t feel great. The guild is back up to max capacity with 130M GP, but a lot of folks are simply not participating. I am both lazy and loyal, so I’ll continue to wait it out & hope it improves. For Grand Arena, I’m ranked #14740 in Carbonite 3 and #5 within my guild.
