In what subtle way do you say 'I love you'?

"you're the exception"

Your emotional walls have walls. Seriously, you've guarded yourself so well, you sometimes forget how to look over your own walls and see the beauty of the world outside the safety of the protection you've set up. You forget how to escape the confines you built for yourself, that is, but some people (some incredibly rare people) somehow know their way through that intricate maze of walls and thorns around you. They're the exception, and terrifying as it might be at first, you'll let them know eventually. You smile at them where you'd scowl at another. You crack a joke where you'd usually stay quiet. You find yourself opening up more than you'd ever imagined. Don't tear your fortress down if you don't want to, but maybe try to build your loved ones a little home inside it instead. You don't have to be alone. You deserve better than being alone in there.

Some tips for The Sims 3 Buy/Build

Install LazyDuchess’ Smooth Patch to alleviate lag, esp in Buy/Build and CAS.

Keep your CC merged and organized, esp your patterns, this will also alleviate a lotta lag across all modes.

When building on community lots, or any lot rlly, avoid going to the edit world menu, and just put testingcheats enabled into the cheat window, then shift+click the ground of the lot to enter Buy/Build mode. This makes leaving it to save a lot easier, with less “preparing” screens to possibly get hung up in.

Lower your settings, you don’t need any adjacent lots loaded, and you certainly don’t need super water on either. You can always switch these back on when you’re done.

While you’re at it, remove your HQ mod, and turn off your Reshade/Gshade preset, or at least turn off your depth shaders. I only ever turn on my depth shaders when I’m taking screenshots for better fps while playing. The DoF shader esp requires a lotta resources your game could be using to simulate all those 78 townie sims instead.

Save as… vs Save, I Save as… at least every third save. It’s also just good habit to keep backups.

When using the CASt tool, set down everything you plan to CASt first, then switch to a category like the wall tool to avoid eventual lag and drag when using it a lot. Love yourself. You don’t have to suffer using CASt tool in an overpopulated category like misc deco.

Utilize the clone option through testing cheats to duplicate already CASted objects, it’ll keep your design just like the dropper tool, but it’s a lot less time consuming, I promise.

Don’t be afraid to use the swatch save tool for objects you use often, esp community lot objects, as it helps to keep your aesthetic consistent. I also keep all of my favorite streetlamps, benches, and public trash bins etc in a convenient custom collection folder to speed up the process of doing multiple lots in one sitting. These handy tools are there, use them.

The issue with custom counters. They mess up sometimes, if you can’t recolor it suddenly, here’s how to fix that. Now if you can’t place down a cupboard suddenly, even though nothing’s in the way, and you’ve got moveobjects on activated, try putting it on the wall a tile over, and then try adding it to your desired spot again. Lastly if you set down counters or cupboards at a corner, and it messes up the textures, but you can still recolor it, you could do what the video I linked above does, or you could simply pull out the CASt tool, and switch it back to any of its original swatches and click the check, then feel free to recolor it as you want.

Railings will also do the “can’t recolor” trick too, but this is a simple fix, just delete it, and replace it, and you’re good.

“Oh no, I switched between buy and build mode, and now my catalogue won’t load, and I can’t click on anything at all!” Don’t panic, hit F2 and/or F3 on your keyboard, these are shortcuts for switching between them, and if you’re lucky it’ll load properly again. Should you get the bug where you load a category and it’s somehow empty, don’t fret, just click on a different category and this should fix it. Then if you get the bug where all the objects you put down disappear suddenly, sorry your game is haunted. Call an exorcist, or just reload, they might reappear if you do.

Tbh, if you run into any kind of major bugs, it’s likely a sign to either save immediately or just restart your game. These only ever show up when you’ve been at it a while ( at least for me ), therefore starting fresh wouldn’t hurt. Probably also wouldn’t hurt to check whether you might’ve installed something the game didn’t agree with by running Dashboard, or put it through the ol’ Save Cleaner.

Honorable Mention: Keep an eye on the texture sizes and poly counts of objects. I know it’s tempting to build these ultra hyperrealistic lots with clutter at every inch, but unless you’re just doing it for screenshots, or for your story, or using it very sparingly, it is not by any means recommended purely for gameplay. This is just the truth when it comes to any Sims game. You don’t want lag, or max memory crashes, or save errors? The Sims 3 is a 32bit game, that’s almost old enough to drive, be easy on it.

what software do i use for ...

12. irl navigation

usually google maps but it annoys me whenever my phone defaults to the apple version

14. ebook / pdf reading

i don't have anything special, just however they open by default. but to be a SMIDGE more interesting, i use pdf expert to annotate pdf's. v nice app

17. email

this is genuinely embarrassing but ... yahoo. i made the acct when i was 10 and was always too daunted to make the change

23. any misc. tool i can't live without

community made tumblr patches. xkit. dashboard unfucker. custom dashboard on stylus. etc. i am NOT a fan of change and absolutely hate the current tumblr dashboard. so i mod the website to hell to give me the dashboard i grew up with (color and all!) and i'm so grateful that ppl have taken the time to make those tools for free

[foulserpent]

i feel like im one of extremely few people who actually uses the tag following feature (which is for good reason bc almost nothing ever good comes of it)

Greetings Ladies, Gentlefolk, and Domesticated Cryptids!

Hello all! Welcome to the corner of the internet dedicated to my various and varied ramblings, fandom lizard brain, and updates on the sheer chaos that is my AO3. (Yes this is Inky's personal Tumblr. The one who wrote both the 55k+ Miraculous angst fic and the one where Infinity War was avoided thanks to a tweet. I contain multitudes.)

I've seen other blogs do one of these posts just to lay out stuff, so figured I would as well :)

Basic Information

~ I do swear. A bit. A lot. It's a good stress release idk. (By swear, i mean fuck, shit, asshole, nothing worse than that--*creative* insults will also be included)

~ I'm still figuring out how the whole interface works so it might be a bit before i can do tag organizing and shit like that.

~ DNI's: Bigots, TERFs, Tories, homophobes, transphobes, Intolerant Jerkwads of just about any sort (NOT referring to those who are intolerant of people who cry persecution), racists, ableists, misogynists, Mental-health deniers, anti-science idiots, anyone who is a jerk of any sort--i reserve the right to refuse access to my blog to anyone at all at any time. I will block u. Don't fucking test me.

~That being said if you are a decent human being then welcome! :D

~ If i make a mistake, please please correct me. I'm not gonna be mad.

~Jysk i don't respond to DMs at this time. Comments and reblogs, I probably will.

~Plagarisim will not be tolerated. Reblogs are very welcome though!

~ Preemptive apologies for my copious use of meme speak. Those of you coming from my AO3 will already be aware of this.

~ Long posts will have the "keep reading" button activated

~ Please just try and be a decent human. This whole section probably seems really damn strict but i know how the internet works and figured I'd better cover all my bases. This is supposed to be a fun thing. I wanna keep it that way. "A truly tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance"

So yeah that's me. Do not expect any personal information. Aside from the swearing, this blog is not 18+

Thank you very much for choosing to take a peek! Feel free to follow if you want my chaos on your dashboard.

So I just decided to make an entire set. If you downloaded the previous one, delete that and download this, they are all in the same category row as socks and have custom thumbnails. For the previews I used a dark dull brown so you can see where they are and what they look like but they are re-colorable so they’ll match any sim and skin tone; plain, fantasy and berry. Also, the previews show the chest up, but the birthmarks and freckles are neck to toe. Enjoy!

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO GLORY VALLEY’S YEARLY BLOCK PARTY - LOVER FEST !!

the script of the bubblegum pink flyer found in your mailbox is cute, loopy; perfect for the occasion - someone put a lot of time and effort into the presentation and aesthetics of the message that everyone around you seems to have also gotten in their mailbox this morning. it’s a party to celebrate the month, something to bring everyone together. just below is a list of sorts, describing the event taking place and just what will be happening ...

MAD BATTERS & HONEYBREWS COFFEE HOUSE will be partnering up for the weekend to provide all sorts of themed refreshments at a discounted price. from heart-shaped shortbread cookies and rose-and-lavender tea to selling handmade mugs themed for the holiday, the two shops have come together to provide something for all ages to enjoy throughout the event.

THE DAPPER OWL is also offering themed drinks at a discounted price, but these are for the older crowd - cocktails colored pink and red, some with glitter infused in them, some smelling of strawberries or watermelon. they’re as much a treat for the eyes as they are for the mouth, but that typical alcoholic sting still holds a sharp bite that will keep everyone on their toes.

MAXIMUM GAMES is coming in from sunset beach to provide the entertainment ! classic boardwalk games such as ring toss, balloon popping, water gun races, and even a few pinball machines, air hockey tables, and arcade cabinets have been rolled out to their area for everyone to enjoy for the classic price of twenty-five cents. tickets will be available for purchase for the booth games at hang loose. you’ll be able to find this section of the block if you listen for the throwback ballads of all the boy bands we grew up loving and swooning over.

THE REEL will be dedicating all of their screens to the romance genre this weekend. from modern rom-coms such as 30 going on 30 and 27 dresses to the classics such as casablanca and singin’ in the rain, couples and hopeless romantics alike will find something to spend their time watching for the first time, seeing again after years, or enjoying it as their favorite movie of all time.

ROSE PETAL NUSERY has put together something truly special that will bring back memories of elementary school - flower grams ! operating from their booth near their shop, you can send a single rose bloom or a bundle of three roses to the person of your choice for a reasonable price, keeping it anonymous or signing your name with it. there will be a ‘rose ceremony’ at the end of the weekend to pass them all out, the post office providing their hand in helping as well.

HANG LOOSE SOUVINERS has taken their normal beachwear and replaced it with pinks, whites, reds, and lots of sparkles. in town for the bash as well, you can grab anything from a cute bauble-headband to some adorable heart-shaped sunglasses for a good price. a sticker and small holiday-themed button comes with each purchase as well. they are also the hub for purchasing tickets for maximum games’ activities - twenty-five cents per ticket, with discounts on rolls.

POLARIS STARGAZING will offer anyone who is looking for something quieter and a little more intimate something to take part in. along with selling art prints of the night sky painted each night for couples to take home as a commemorative decoration, every night starting at 9pm they will be holding their special night under the stars on the edge of town - bring your blankets, pillows, and some hot chocolate from honeybrews to look on at the gorgeous night sky with friends, family, your significant other, or your crush.

the entire weekend will be hosted by town hall in close partnership with MIGHTY RIVER RADIO. the station will be providing the music and nightly entertainment, with a dancefloor set up right in front of the founder statue that changes colors - going from soft white to red to pink and back - once the sun goes down. their playlist will provide something for everyone, from slow jams to hold your loved one close to something everyone can jump around to all the way down to original works from members of the town.

( under the cut you’ll find a summary of the event !! )

a somewhat comprehensive performance guide for the sims 3

what it says on the tin. i’m sticking everything under the cut to avoid clogging everyone’s dash because, hoo boy, this is a looong post

welcome to my kitchen, and hopefully i can help you get your game to run a bit better!

first, if you haven’t already, make sure to launch your game (i recommend just bg so it loads quickly) and check if you need to change your graphics settings. if you’re on windows and would like to play your game in windowed fullscreen: 

download and install this program (it’s safe, i promise)

open the program and you should get a notification that it’s running in your tray

with ts3 open (in it’s windowed mode), click on your tray and right click on the program’s icon, then select Add window

go back to ts3′s window and press F3 on your keyboard. you should get a notification that ts3 has been added to the program’s list, and you’re done!

you’ll also need an fps limiter to prevent the game from frying your video card. i use this one, set at 60fps. alternatively, you can download MATY’s fps limiter and place it in your game’s bin. (The Sims 3/Game/Bin)

is your game crashing on startup? check your DEP settings or try using 3booter.

some tips to help your game run better

have as few programs as possible running while ts3 is open.

run a 4gb patch on your game. download this, run the .exe, select the game’s executable (The Sims 3/Game/Bin/TS3W.exe for patch 1.69 or TS3.exe for patch 1.67), and click open. you’ll get a pop up saying it’s patched. please note that your computer needs to have over 2gb of RAM for this! (most do, but do check how much RAM you have!)

if you’d rather increase how much RAM the game uses yourself, follow this tutorial.

download razer game booster. this frees up some memory on your computer to increase performance.

check how much virtual memory your pc is using. follow this tutorial.

delete cache files. the game will generate new ones every time you open the game, so make sure to delete the following files before running the game: CASPartCache, compositorCache, scriptCache, simCompositorCache, socialCache. these files are found in Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3.

if you’re on pc, delete your WoldCaches folder. not everyone will have this folder, and the game may also regenerate the folder. (mine didn’t regenerate the folder, but it’s happened to others)  DO NOT do this if you’re on mac!!!!

disable your FeaturedItems folder. this prevents the game from generating a fuckton of store thumbnails you’ll never look at. follow this tutorial or just set the folder to be read only.

turn off the following in your game settings: shop mode, interactive loading screens, and online features. i also recommend turning off story progression and memories and using mods to handle these instead.

edit your GraphicsRules.sgr. this will help your game load textures faster. (it also helps how fast your sims change their clothes!) do it yourself by following these tutorials ( 1 + 2 ) or download avian’s graphics fix (v1.69) (v1.67). i recommend doing the latter more than doing it yourself!

modding your game: a quick crash course

yeah, i know most people know how to download and install custom content + mods, but this is still good to give a read for managing your sims 3 cc!

first, you’ll need a mods folder because ts3 won’t generate one by itself. i recommend you download this framework and follow MTS’ guide to setting it up. it comes with a nifty little no intro video mod!

use the compressorizer redux. you can extract it wherever you’d like, just make sure to keep all its files in the same folder. this program is pretty self-explanatory, it compresses .package and .sims3pack files. to use it, click Add Files to List, select the folder with your files (you can do this multiple times), and click GO! now, just let it do its thing! it may take a while to process everything if you have big files, but you’ll get a pop up saying how many MBs you saved when it’s done. you can also use decrapify mode on .sims3packs (useful for store content!)

i recommend downloading Delphy’s Sims3Pack Extractor. i avoid using the game launcher to manage my cc at all costs, and this tool is useful for extracting .package files from .sims3pack files. follow this tutorial to use it!

Delphy’s Dashboard Tool is also useful for finding any broken, duplicate, or conflicting cc. i don’t recommend using the fix all problems option, do it yourself instead to make sure you don’t delete anything you want to keep.

renaming cc files can also help with lag. follow this tutorial!

you can also merge your package files to help with lag and load times using this tutorial. i don’t do this personally, but my mods folder is pretty small too.

note: the game launcher can only load 500 .sims3pack files at a time. only use the launcher to install absolutely necessary items!

to help reduce lag and load times, you can delete everything in your DCBackup folder (Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/DCBackup) EXCEPT for ccmerged.package. DO NOT delete ccmerged, it has all the cc installed through the launcher. (ps. you can safely use the compressorizer to compress your ccmerged file!)

final tip: try to control the amount of cc you have installed. i’ve noticed that the game takes a lot longer to load when my mods folder starts to reach a Gb. my mods folder is currently 368Mb, and it takes around 5 minutes to load any saves.

helpful mods for your game

the ETERNAL must have: nraas’ mastercontroller. you’ll need this to run all nraas mods! also be sure to grab overwatch and errortrap while you’re at it! these catch and clean any errors that happen in your game. i also recommend register and traffic.

no (or fewer) auto memories is SUPER useful for controlling memories in the game and helps with game performance. it’s super customizable!

ellacharmed’s world fixes. not really a traditional mod, but this helps with routing and camera control! note: don’t use these on preexisting saves! some lots have been moved and there will be little gaps in the world with preexisting saves.

routing fixes for schools + other lots. be sure to use nraas to reset your school lot after installing!

interaction on sloped terrain. this is mostly just a sanity saver, but very useful!

finally, i recommend grabbing awesome mod. it has a bunch of fixes and is very customizable!

reducing save game bloat

a.k.a. the steps i go through to make sure that my game loads relatively fast and runs with minimal lag. 

if i’ve taken any screenshots the last time i played the game, i move those out of ts3′s screenshots folder and into a separate folder.

i delete all generated cache files. see the tips section above for more info

i run kuree’s save cleaner on the save i’m planning on playing. if the latest version (2.1) doesn’t open/work, try using v1.1 instead. you can also do this manually, though i don’t recommend it for the sake of your sanity.

every couple of in-game weeks in a save i run a total reset on the world i’m playing in. this is done through nraas mastercontroller. click on your city hall from map view>nraas>mastercontroller>total reset

tip: to help prevent your saves from corrupting, use save as and keep multiple versions of your save. for example, i have 3 versions of my lepacy save. this way, if a save does corrupt, you have a backup! 

misc. ways to reduce lag

don’t run the game with all packs enabled. it’s going to murder your game. only run with packs you know you’ll use. you can also refer to this masterpost for bgc items if you only want certain items from a pack.

don’t keep tons of stuff in your sim’s inventory. use the fridge to keep fish and harvestables instead.

if your sim has the collection helper LTR in their inventory, make sure you have it set to none when you’re not using it.

i recommend downloading simborg’s CAS hiders, ILTS’ CAS Rehaul, and/or sweetdevil-sims’ CAS hiders to reduce CAS load times.

change CAS’ catalogs to show in compact form using nraas mastercontroller. select a sim>nraas>mastercontroller>settings>CAS and look for show in compact form options and set each to true

nona’s no limos mod can help nraas overwatch’s nightly clean up

make sure to turn off any build/buy cheats you activated when you go back into live mode. (even if it’s just to save)

if you’re using CAS a lot in a play session, it’s a good idea to quit to desktop and reload the game every once in a while

try to avoid saving presets and CASt swatches

disconnect from the internet. i don’t do this often because i usually have spotify or carl’s sims 3 guide open alongside ts3.

the fps and 4Gb patch aren’t needed, it was fixed in a patch! (thank you, create-a-sim!)
