#ts3 empty lot

[ms-artzy-gurl]

A sneak peak of an empty lot I've been working on. :)

[eljeebee]

Unfortunately, the lecture hall was empty. Perhaps because of the snow? Who knows. At least she still got additional points (her professor emailed her, giving her compensation).

[itsalwaysdark]

also its so dumb that one of the arguments ppl have against a sims 5 is that theyve already invested too much money into 4. like yes its fucking scummy that ea charges so much for dlc and its Ludicrous the amt sims 4 costs if you have all the dlc and its going to keep getting more and more expensive but . to be honest . why are you paying for sims packs. im sry

[woosteru]

think i finally figured out why i don't like playing ts4 for more than 5 minutes: the worlds!!! they're a little too ugly & boring i don't like any of them!!

Sims 3 Gameplay Mods

I was going through MTS looking for mods to improve my gameplay and thought I would share the ones I downloaded!

Livestreaming Mod - Allows your sims to livestream from a PC for tips, blog followers, and celebrity points.

More Pregnancy Interactions - Adds more options for the pregnant sim and more social interactions with all age groups!

Yoga Mod - Allows your sim to do yoga and also lead a yoga class for simoleons.

Laundromat Fix - Actually empties the laundry hamper on your sims home lot when using a washing machine at a laundromat.

Dirty Laundry Mod - Gives your sim a negative moodlet when dirty laundry hasn't been washed in a few days. Gives more incentive to do your sims laundry!

Layoff Mod - Gives your sim a 2% chance at the end of every work day of being laid off. Depending on their work level they may get unemployment benefits.

Nicer Vendors - Overrides the default animations when interacting with vendors, looks more friendly.

Acne Mod - Gives teens-adults a chance of waking up with acne. Adds washing face options and applying acne toner at sink.

Sunscreen - Allows you to buy sunscreen from the store, will protect sims from getting a sunburn with Seasons installed. Works on vampire sims as well.

Restaurant Host Career - Allows your sim to work part time at diners/bistros as a host. Only 1 career level.

TSM > TS3 Facial Expressions - Overrides most s3 facial expressions with the sims medieval ones making them a lot more realistic and natural looking.

One With Nature - Allows your sims to sleep outside on ground, wash themselves in bodies of water, and go to the bathroom outside. Needs Nraas traveler mod to work. (Good for apocalyptic gameplays/adding realism?? haha)

Walk Cycle Edits - Overrides original walk cycles so there's no forced smile, allowing your sims to make facial expressions based on mood/surroundings.

The Randomizer Mod - Triggers more random events that effect your household. Adds more realism and can effects the relationships/friendships your sims have. (Can choose between which random event modules you want in your game based on play style!)

More Negative Moodlets - Negative moodlets cause a greater effect on your sims mood making it a bit more realistic.

[awingedllama]

remember how in ts3 you could set a door as 'npc' and go talk to your neighbors??

i've spent the past several hours trying to recreate that in ts4 for my save file. i tweaked the get to work alien portal until i finally figured out how to get a specific sim i created to spawn as an npc

now i need to work out

1) how to stop the interaction from running after the sim is summoned and on the lot. as it is right now, it'll just make endless clones of the same dude every time you click. which is only funny to a point

2) how to apply the noisy neighbor situations from City Living to the object for a bit more immersion

3) how to get a sim picker menu to pop up first, for multi-sim households

but i'm proud even of this little bit of progress! i feel like it's a nice touch to have sims always 'living' next to you, even if it's an empty house. and this way all my shell houses will be able to have custom homeless sims 'living' in them :)

TS3 World Adventures - Stir Fry Texture Replacement Mod

D E F A U L T   R E P L A C E M E N T

5 textures to replace EA's default Stir-Fry texture.

Reason why I made the change:

EA wrongly represented Vegetable Stir-Fry that supposedly Chinese dish, but looking like Italian or European dish (the orange looking vegetables are separated with other vegetables, the green yellowish colour, which has weird colour that doesn't look appetizing. And there is European style leaf on the plate). Chinese style stir-fry combines all ingredients into one, not separating them into two.

I consider the Stir-Fry is Vegetable Stir-Fry. I followed the Traditional Chinese version of the game: 炒菜 ， which means Vegetable Stir-Fry. Chinese style stir-fry implements a lot of vegetables in the dish.

Classic Maxis Match. I found 256 pixel texture on S3pe, so I made use of this texture, replacing the default 128 blurry texture. So you can see the details more clearly: Mushrooms, green peppers, chili.

The rest are custom textures I took from various websites.

蒜蓉炒青菜 SuanRongChaoQingCai ---> Bok Choy vegetables with garlic and chili.

菜心炒蝦仁 CaiXinChaoXiaRen ----> Cai Sim vegetables with prawn

長豆炒蘑菇 ZhangDouChaoMoGu ----> Long beans with mushrooms

西兰花炒蘑菇 XiLanHuaChaoMoGu ---> Broccoli with carrots and mushrooms

I made the uncooked textures on pan. Maxis Match using the same EA texture, so I didn't make change for Maxis Match.

All GeoStates (Full, Half, Empty) are working. This mod only replacing the texture.

Requirement: World Adventures Expansion Pack

⚠️ This package will be replacing the default EA, so you have to choose one. Installing more than one default replacement will cause conflict. ⚠️

As usual, install one of these packages on Package folder. You can safely delete the package if you no longer want to use the default replacement.

Tiny Town Challenge Expanded - The Sims 3

The inspiration for this challenge came from Deligracy's Tiny Town challenge for The Sims 4 (Original rules HERE). I loved the idea of the challenge, but The Sims 3 has a huge advantage: it already has an open world, so the houses didn't need to be restricted to one lot, but instead, we could build a real community. That's why, in addition to translating, I took some time to adapt it in the best possible way to everything that TS3 offers us.

I kept the characteristics of the Sims from the original challenge as best as I could, but adapted them to keep them as "autonomous" as possible.

I have all the expansions and stuff packs, so feel free to do only what fits into what you already have in your game and/or adapt it as best you can.

When I saw the Stardew Valley map by @boringbones, I felt this would be a perfect match! You don't have to start on the same map as me, but I strongly suggest you start on a tiny or small mapto really have the proximity between the lots and, even better, if it's empty so you can populate it as you play with the Sims.

I'm just starting to play this challenge, so not all the rules have been tested. I will adapt as needed and welcome suggestions.

Tags: #TinyTownTS3 #tiny town challenge ts3 or tag my "@". I would love to know you're playing too. 😍

The Goal

The goal of this challenge is to build a town with tiny houses for up to 16 Sims (depending on whether you want to use mods or not or which packs you own) that match their desires and skills.

You can watch my gameplay of this challenge on my YouTube channel here. (link to be available soon)

The Stardew Valley map can be purchased here (link for download).

The Rundown

Each Sim has a set skill that you must utilize to fund the construction of their tiny home. For example, Frank Stem likes flower arranging, so you must sell flower arrangements to fund his Tiny House build.

You must also represent each Sim's favorite style and color in the build (see the Sim characters below). You can only work on one Sim's house at a time, moving each Sim in individually as you "unlock" them.

To "unlock" the next Sim, you must complete the previous Sim's home.

How to Play

Start by moving your first Sim into a lot of your choice.

To select your first Sim, you can use an online randomizer or simply choose your favorite.

After moving your first Sim in, use a money cheat to set the Sim's money to $0.

Each Sim should start on their lot with their skill item of choice and some useful items. They also start with a sleeping bag (requires Generations), a mini fridge, and an All-in-One Bathroom (requires Island Paradise, Into the Future, or Movie Stuff). Feel free to adjust these items if you don't have the necessary packs. After placing these items on the lot, set the money back to $0.

After finding your skill items, start earning Simoleons by selling your creations!

Use this money to build your Sim's tiny home!

Since we don't have a sales table in The Sims 3 like we do in The Sims 4, I suggest that all collectibles and creations be sold at the consignment store (requires: NRAAS Consigner - [link HERE]).

Extra Rules and Ideas

Your Sims can contribute to community areas to help other neighbors when they move in and to create a pleasant sense of community and lifestyle. Ideas could be a shared laundry, bathroom, BBQ area, garden, central square, pool, etc.

As you play, your town will grow and your community will become fuller. When you reach the last Sim, you can go back to playing with the first family, and here, my suggestion would be to put everyone in a rotational household using Story Progression and evolve with each family.

If you don't have all the necessary packs, feel free to alter the challenge to suit the packs you have, or use the base game features. There are many ways to make money, including tasks like collecting valuable objects or careers.

You can play on any lifespan, but I suggest playing on epic or disabling aging altogether to get the most out of your Sims.

According to the original rules, you can use cheats, rewards, and anything else to make it easier, but keep in mind that the easier you make it for yourself, the less challenging it will be!

[boringbones]

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I have a special gift for each of you this month. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for all the support and love I receive from you while creating mods for The Sims 3. 

Every comment, download, and positive feedback motivates me to keep innovating and sharing my work with this amazing community. 

To thank you for all this support, I am delighted to share an exclusive and special world with you. I know some of you are very curious and interested in my tiny worlds, and I understand that not everyone has the chance to play in them. That's why I spent the last 35 days working live on this tiny world, which was created together with my YouTube community. Pleasantville, intended to be a spiritual successor to Pleasantview (in the sense of recreating that suburban and small community atmosphere), features 30 lots and many stunning buildings.

Although these buildings are empty, they are an open invitation for each of you to add your personal touch and creativity, transforming this world into something even more extraordinary. If you don't feel confident doing this, I recommend keeping an eye on CJ Plays' channel, as he will be sharing a series of videos while he builds and gives Pleasantville his own unlimited creative vision!

I hope you enjoy and have fun exploring and customizing every corner of this world. It's a small gesture to show my gratitude and give back all the love I receive.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for all the continuous support. I can't wait to see what you create!

With love, Boring Bones <3

DOWNLOAD

Recommendations: To achieve the same vision, I recommend using version V2 of my Ts3 Beta Lighting Mod. The mods used are available with the download, and there is a CUSTOM version of my Get Out mod for Tiny Worlds. This way, if you love using Get Out, it will ensure that your Sims don't just walk on foot in this small world.

[syninplays]

Modern Ikke - world download

The idea behind Ikke was to create a scandinavian/swiss inspired world, but most importantly a place where sims can go (fake) skiing and be surrounded by pine trees and snow. I took inspiration from the Swiss/French Alps (especially Verbier) so naturally all buildings go along that vibe.

I kinda made it my mission to leave CC to a minimum, so I used only a few cc items and the rest is from expansion/accessory packs or ts3 store. - So make sure to at least have Supernatural, Pets, Into The Future and Late Night in order for the world to show up properly.

Note: the world file is pretty much empty, so I strongly recommend to download the world AND the save file so Ikke can look the same way it does in my game. - I am going to share furnished lots too, but finding cc takes time so bare with me :p

All relevant info is under the cut, so please read it!

>DOWNLOAD< (early access until 20/10/23)

>CC: there's two folders included with the download; the one called CC has all the necessary stuff you need so the world looks exactly as it does in my game. I didn't include some mods objects, so if you don't already have these then grab omsp, omsp resizers by Buckley, medium size rocks here, (more) medium size rocks here, city hall/police station/military base rug shell (you only need that one) & this set of patterns (I didn't use all of them, but I love them and highly recommend getting all of them hehe - I used the ones from the wood category) / the second folder called CC Recommendations is not necessary for the world to show up properly, but everything there goes along with the vibe and would look great in most buildings (;

>Modern Ikke.world: as said above, it's almost empty except for some scarce decor and the chairlift (but without it's start/finish bit) / Goes in Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Installed worlds

>Save File: Has all the buildings I did (14 lots), plus a few other details I changed from the original world file. I tested it along with my bf, so you'll start with my Svensson household and there will be some npcs (with randomized Spanish names as he has the game in Spanish hehe) - obviously just get rid of them all and start with your own simmies (; / Both folders inside 'save file' go in Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3>Saves / you NEED to install the world file too or the save won't work!

>Additional note: If you downloaded the shell rug linked above, then you'll find a "city hall" icon in Ikke's Hotel; I put it there mostly so you can change NRass settings if you're using it. Otherwise (or when you're done setting things up) feel free to get rid of it.

WWDITS INSP Set & Lot

This upload is inspired by one of my favorite vampire tv shows, What We Do in the Shadows. (It was supposed to be my Simblreen gift this year, but I'm hella late cuz IRL suuuuuucks...blood. 😅)

The DL folder includes 4 zip files:

My WWDITS INSP CC Set, including 37 wives items.

The WWDITS INSP Vampire Residence Lot to go in your Sims 3 > Library folder (in-game it'll be in the empty lots bin in Edit Mode)

A MERGED CC file of allllll the other CC I used on the lot (brace yourselves 💀) to go in your Sims 3 > Mods > Packages folder

Granthe's OMSP from MTS, cuz I wasn't sure if I could merge it or not and decided to play it safe.

WARNING: The lot uses a ton of CC. I have all of the EPs, and a lot of the Store CC too, so if you don't have EA's crap & items are missing, that might be why. But if you're not seeing any of the the 3rd party UGC, then I done goofed, sorry--it's been YEARS since I've shared my lots.

🦇 Enjoy! 🦇

[thesimquarter]

hello! sims 2 miniopolis update!

first of all, my current sims 2 urbz sims >:3 outside of the obvious change of a default skin, they don't look that different compared to my old versions of them. But! believe me they are better.as well, this time! there's the DS exclusive characters and a few sims intended to be townies. In order, Lloyd, Red Man, Daschell Swank, Chet R. Chase, Bucki Brock's sister, Joe from the Flea Market (yes, he does have a name), Ava Cadavra, and Gordie Puck. Indeed, they're very red.

And an update to the town in general! I've finished most of the easy lots now, mostly having harder lots to do now. Such as the Mausoleum, Circus, Brownstones + Slice O'Life (which I… attempted. can you believe that the map of this game doesn’t follow the laws of physics?), etc.

New lots include: - Junked Schoolbus (which IS connected to the Chopper Garage visually but they aren't the same lot) - Chopper Garage (which i am not going to put underneath the road/jail! it looks cool in-game, but possibly impossible to do in the sims 2 but it makes no sense spatially!! the other side of the garage would just be underground!!!) - Cemetery (Mostly just empty buildings for aesthetics. No graves… yet. and there probably won’t be until the final version of the hood.) - Miniopolis Chronicle (TINY) - Miniopolis Hospital + University (if this was ts3 i probably would have made them separately) - Club Xizzle (what is it supposed to look like on the outside + should there be two?) - Glasstown Megamall - Cinema d'Urbania (how do you make a cinema in this game? big TV?)

I redid King Tower as well, just to make it fill out a 3x3 lot instead of a 2x2 lot, and Café Multiplaya has a new outdoor seating area (to fill in space). The Coffee Shop, the Market, and Glasstown apartments were in my last post, just kinda in the background. The Market has a lot of creative liberties taken to it, as I just didn't like how it translated into the Sims (as in it's made to represent the real-life French Quarter Market more). The Glasstown Apartment has a few other units in it for some of the Urbz sims (more on that in a bit!)

I removed pretty much, all the elevation from the .s4c terrain. It's easy to put back butttt, the sims 2 just doesn't work in a way that's friendly to sloped lots (and simcity 4 for slopes that take <1 unit of distance, you can't make steep cliffs in these games. so, basically, due to the compactness of the city, there isn’t enough room to add in slopes without making it all janky). They may come back at the end if we can Wizard the slopes to work the lots, but for now...

Ignore the weird road off the Sim Quarter. I was experimenting with what could be done with the riverboat. I was thinking about putting it on a beach lot and making a joke about it being temporarily landlocked (read: i already did) and was trying to find a good, functional place to put it. There may be other ways to do a riverboat though… hmmm

Anyways onto housing for the Sims. So, the Glasstown Apartments has a few more units to fit in a few other characters (Lottie Cash (I did manage to squeeze a bowling alley in there), Lily Gates, and Darius) but other than that? Very little! (I did Ewan’s House. however, it’s just a box; i took modest pretty literally). I might make a post soon where I talk about where each Urb would probably live, just as an excuse to talk to myself for a little while.

[grimfolks]

hey, do you still play sims 4? Loved your pictures!

I'm glad you enjoyed my sims 4 pics but I haven't played the game since a looooong time and I have no plans to come back to it again.

Now I'm probably going to rant a bit about why I quit it but basically, before this blog was even in my plans I had a ts4 one and I noticed having the simblr affected the way I play the game A LOT. I wasn't happy with the state of it to begin with but it matched my sense of aesthetic so I was trying to enjoy the gameplay anyways. Unfortunately the more I was on simblr the more I cared about said aesthetic and gradually I started treating the game as a dress up & makeover simulator, not a life sim (it's a standard 'make a sim, realize they need a house so make a house, take gazilion pics to post, spend hours editing them and be proud of myself then never play with the sim again'). I aknowledge a lot of it was happening in my head, there are tons of people who enjoy lifemode aspect of ts4 and not only checking cc in it but I guess it simply wasn't for me to begin with (I'm also not saying 'just making sims' or 'just building houses' doesn't count as playing the game). I didn't get that joy of it back, the gameplay became empty and meaningless, what mattered was only what I post on a stupid blog online. I'm much more happier playing ts3. Sure taking pretty screenshots still matter in a way but it doesn't stop my enjoyment.

Place Desmoules: Enjoy French city living!

Hi guys!

So, today, only one lot... But it's a beast of a lot!

Wecome to Place Desmoules, one of the main urban (and let's face it, exceedingly French) hub of Vogoelian activities that don't involve fish.

Well, mostly. I've had sea food adventures before, so I wouldn't bet too much on the doctor and the pharmacy about that. But otherwise? all clear.

So, as you can see, we have the Petit Corse restaurant RH on one side. It goes well with the town, and let's face it, I'm not a fan of herding cats, so the TS3 restaurants efforts never filled me with joy.

But there is plenty more action!

So, pharmacy, with shop AND lab at the back.

Next door:

It's a big shop, empty at the moment because I intend to do a kind of mini departement store in there, but there is already enough CC in there.

So I left it empty, and then we can all run amok with our stuff as we like (Hello, Pat!)

Then we get to the back, Place Desmoules, with a nice café and a beauty salon, before going to your medical appointement (and of which I forgot to take a photo, crappydoo)

Well, it's up there on the first floor.

Anyway, once you've done all that hard work, you might notice a little place:

What is this mysterious (and slightly scary) place?

Welcome to La Trompette Bouchée, the local jazz club, with local artists and also local and maybe fishy snacks.

Very atmospheric.

With quite a big scene, so if there is a passing acrobat or magician...

And while we're doing the bird view of things:

As you may have noticed, there are more Frenchy lots awaiting, some residential with PNG lodgins and attachet business... but also WIP at the moment.

Now, most of the chucktown of CC in there is @aroundthesims... I've haven't down loaded everything, but close.

Oh, and while I'm at it. Place Desmoules?

Well, first, I have a thing for silly French puns, so you have to suffer. Sorry not sorry.

Second, story time:

I told you, Vogoel les Mouettes had a small Pirate problem, some time ago...around 260 of those, which lands us in 1764.

King Louis XV "le bien aimé" who at the time was getting on years, and a nation who had an incredible sense of style (my fafourite!), but a lot of money problems.

Just to say that Pirates in the Caraibianswe can deal (by ignoring it, mostly), but right next door? soething had to be done.

Enter one pink satin frocked Pierre Desmoules, Chevalier du porte Jarretelle, to command an army... well, a flotilla... 3 ships? AND to solve the problem.

When the Pirates stopped laughing he got trounced.

Now, never underestimate the guile of a French aristocrat when his wallet is at risk. Pierre Desmoules brevet de Capitainerie may have been spanking new (and expensive), but he was not an idiot.

So he made a deal with the Pirates.

The Pirates kept pirating, and Pierre not looked the other way, but transported the goods to be sold on the mainland (for a small cut of profit, of course)... since the goods suddenly became legal, they fetched a far better price than stolen merchandise, and everybody was happy.

The king had "beaten" the Pirates, said Pirates made tons of cash, and papa Desmoules, a sea trader, had a lot of fine stock to sell.

End of story, but we are likely to meet the Desmoules family again in the future.

In the meantime, have a nice week you guys!

The Amityville Horror House

I don't want to wait for October to share this nice house so I decided to share it...

Huge thank to @marioneves2 since I copied his makeover for this lot and he help me to find walls and fences.

I changed a few things so that there would be as few cc as possible. For example, the fireplace chimney wall and the garage walls are maxis, not life stories walls, etc. The house is empty, there is nothing inside, not even the walls, light etc..

CC for this lot:

Bespoke Build Set

Erica - Short Fence - Black

Lafenetre Loft Windows

BuildMode-OddsEnds-MALM

Gable ornament – base object in white

vimpse - ceiling rim mesh and recolors

Simple Build Set

Veranka's BuBu Build Set in AL Wood Colours

Garden At Home By Max20 4t2 Conversion

fence made by ZeusSims

walls was made by 13pumpkin

TS3 Midnight Hollow default road for the lush terrain

Invisible Driveway & Extensions

You going to need this:

Perfect Plants & Perfect Gardens

or to change hegdes to this:

Plastic Hedges

Please use Clean Installer before you put this lot in your game.

[awingedllama]

filling up an empty world is a lot harder than i expected, but i finally have an idea of the general layout of the town area! i’m going for small town/main street vibes

i know it’s very empty right now, and it’s VERY far from done, but my plan right now:

functional shell buildings (i’ve already made the TS3 theatre functional with Growing Together, and i’m going to add the shops’ functionality from cottage living & wedding stories). parks, a basketball court by the church, as well as a beach area near the water so sims have activities outside of the main 4 lots

if you have any more ideas for off-lot activities let me know!
