After not posting for months, I am back!!! Recently, I've been working on building "realistic" houses for Sims 3, similar to what many builders have made for Sims 4. I hope ya'll like it; they're not fully done. I plan on using these for a future world I may make

Reblog if you are a simblr of either the Sims 2 or the Sims 3 (or both).

I wanna support more simblr accounts despite have being retired from Sims role playing myself, especially since they're overshadowed by the Sims 4 nowadays. I have nothing against those who enjoy the Sims 4, but as a long time simmer I still wish to support other fellow simmers who are active in the same simblr as the one I grew up with. 🫶🏻

And yes, you're free to reblog this even if you're retired but still love the Sims!

Sims 2 UltraWide CAS Fix (My first-ever mod!!)

Hello, simblr community!! This is my first-ever post!! And to kick things off I want to post my first ever mod!

Hey you guys!! This is my first ever mod/fix and I'm excited to show you guys it. As you can tell by the title it fixes the Sims 2 CAS screen for ultrawide monitors. As shown in pictures every age group of sims have a fix for their respective CAS screen.

IMPORTANT: - CAS FIX DOESN'T WORK FOR CREATING PETS!!! It only fixes the CAS screen for actual sims. (I'm trying to figure out how to edit the dog/cat CAS screen so expect an update on that soon!!) - YOU NEED THE WIDESCREEN CAS WITH MORE COLUMNS MOD BY CHRIS HATCH FOR THIS CAN WORK!! Link here: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=5493353#post5493353 Choose the 300Extra file so it can look like the one shown in the pictures!!

Download HERE

Where do I place this file? - Go to documents>Sims 2 Ultimate Collection>Cameras - backup your current CASCamera file - Drop/extract the new CASCamera file in the respective folder!! - And done!!! Let me know if you have any issues!!

[tefosims]

New here!! Still fixing up my simblr!! More post to come :)

Reblog/Like if your an active simblr for the The Sims 3 game! ✨

It's my second and final sims game that i play! 💟

Poll - Guide to Acceptable Polycounts for TS3

I'm not entirely sure how to broadcast this, but the polycount issue has blown up my feed spectacularly - and I've found the discussion interesting for a number of reasons.

Mainly that there has been no specific answer on what is expected to be a reasonable polycount and what's not outside of common sense. So I would like to take a poll of sorts to see where everyone's mind is at on the current issue.

So... who's up to take a vote? I think the easiest way would be to comment your answers below so they can be collected in one place. If you decide to reblog it to carry it to a bigger audience, tag me so I can see it and average/correct the numbers after a certain point of time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm going to attempt to fill this in where I can... please feel free to tell me I'm nuts or way off track and reply your own thoughts. I put the not acceptable/photo-use as extreme cases so they're all higher than the high poly tier.

I am by no means an expert on this matter, I am just trying to collect data. So take that into consideration when you're reading through this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAS -

Low/Mid poly [# 0 - 10K ]

Mid/High Poly [# 10K - 20K ]

Photo-use Only / Not acceptable for gameplay [# 30K+ ]

BUILD OBJECTS -

Low/Mid poly [# 0 - 2K]

Mid/High Poly [# 2K - 4K]

Photo-use Only / Not acceptable for gameplay [# 6K+ ]

DECOR OBJECTS -

Low/Mid poly [# 0 - 2K ]

Mid/High Poly [# 2K - 4K]

Photo-use Only / Not acceptable for gameplay [# 6K+ ]

FUNCTIONAL OBJECTS -

Low/Mid poly [# 0 - 3K]

Mid/High Poly [# 3K - 6K ]

Photo-use Only / Not acceptable for gameplay [# 8K+ ]

Rabbitholes - Buildings - Major Landmarks (This may vary considering most major landmarks will only be used a limited number of times - if not once - in a world. In my very limited experience rabbit holes from EA can vary from 10k to 30k depending on how many details the building carries. This also applies to things such as distant terrains, etc).

Low/Mid poly [# 0 - 15K]

Mid/High Poly [# 15K - 30K ]

Photo-use Only / Not acceptable for gameplay [# 40K+ ]

Speedtree / Plants (This might be complicated, as SPT files aren't able to be decimated or lowered, as far as I've found it comes down to a ridiculous amount of tweaking and luck. Because a SPT plant can have 3000 leaves or 200 and have the same damn polycount. It makes no sense).

Low/Mid poly [# 0 - 2K]

Mid/High Poly [# 2K - 4K]

Photo-use Only / Not acceptable for gameplay [# 6K+ ]

WORLD OBJECTS / Minor Landmarks- (Rocks, Windmills, etc)

Low/Mid poly [# 0 - 3K ]

Mid/High Poly [# 3K - 6K ]

Photo-use Only / Not acceptable for gameplay [# 8K+ ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please let me know your thoughts on this.

One other thing I would add to the creators/convertors to start adding to their creations is to add the polycount/Photo-use-only warning in the description of their packages so you can see it in game, as well as the download itself. Because most of us have so much crap we will never remember once it's in there.

RIP one of my favorite modders

RIP, CmarNYC

I’m very sad to report that Sims 3 and 4 creator CmarNYC passed away in October 2023. For 15 years, Simmers benefited from Cmar’s long-honed computing skills as she created much-loved modders’ and players’ tools, including the Sims 3 and 4 MorphMakers and Skininators, the TS4 SimRipper, the Sims 3 XCAS core mod, and many CAS sliders. She was also a contributor to S4PE, which likely was used by creators you rely on. Without Cmar’s work, the Sims franchise would have had a much less rich array of mods and custom content. She will be greatly missed.

As well as Sims, Cmar loved cats, and donations are suggested to the ASPCA, the TinyKittens Society, or an animal-related charity near you.

Side by side comparison of the water types that you can choose for my lighting mods.

If you really like one water, but find the reflection too harsh or too light, I can make a custom water type. Like for example, Moonlight falls water, with Monte Vista water reflection etc.

All these photos were taken around 11am-12pm.
