Of course I will be building and creating more sims in the future, you will just have to download and add them yourself when I do I am working on adding more homes and townies, I will update with a seccond version with the added stuff later on 🐳I do feel like I need to do something else for a while, but I am planning on building a university when inspiration hits again, but enough about that!

In this save you can find..

🌷 21 Residentals

🌷 35 Community lots

So how do you install it?

🌷 Your game needs to be on the latest version 1.69, or else you won't be able to load the save!

🌷 First of, you need to grab the world and install it through the launcher

🌷 Now you can go ahead and download the save, all you have to is place it inside your saves folder!

What else do you need?

🌷You need to download some custom content, most of it is store content but there's a little bit of everything. I also recommend that you get the CCmerged file, it's needed for some of the store items to work.

🌷 I used custom content when giving my sims hairstyles, You can find which ones you need on this page!

Please know that even if you've had this in your game before it's important that you download the custom content again! Before the folder contained all my store items, now it's only the needed files. 🐙

[TS3] LD's Sims3Launcher (EA App/Origin)

This is a replacement for the 1.69 (EA App/Origin) version of the Sims3Launcher.exe

It features improvements, QoL changes and fixes that will hopefully make up for the Origin version getting the short end of the stick in some ways.

Info under the cut, download at the bottom.

Overview

Expansions & Stuff is now the default panel.

Has support for ASI mods, so you don't have to launch the game from an external executable, you can do it directly from Origin now and Smooth Patch will still load.

The annoying "an error has occurred in the script on this page" pop-ups are now gone, and clicking on links will actually launch your default browser instead of MS Edge.

Want to bypass the launcher and boot directly into the game? You can now use the "-bypass" command line argument or tick the "Bypass Launcher" checkbox in the launcher. You can still open the launcher from inside the game.

or

(Use the "-nobypass" argument to cancel this behavior)

Expansions & Stuff

EP Selection should no longer glitch out and randomly deselect EPs. If it still does, there are now "Select All" and "Select None" buttons for your convenience, or you can just restart the launcher or boot the game without changing anything and your EPs should come back.

You can also now choose to display all EPs installed on the computer regardless of if the launcher thinks you own it or not, in case your EPs don't show up for whatever reason.

The warnings about performance have been removed as well.

Downloaded Content & Uploads

There is now a search box in Downloads, Installed Content and Uploads, and a new "Worlds" tab; Worlds are no longer grouped together with Lots.

There is also an "Uninstalled Only" filter, so you can sort through the downloads you don't have actually installed.

Download: SFS / Dropbox

Extract the launcher into your (Sims 3 Base Game Installation Folder)/Game/Bin, replacing your Sims3Launcher.exe and TS3PatchLauncher.exe files (if you already had them)

Remember to back it up!

If you use Origin, open the "TS3PatchLauncher.cfg" file with any text editor and replace the "PlatformName = EADesktop.exe" line with "PlatformName = Origin.exe"

Don't open the TS3PatchLauncher.exe manually. The launcher will automatically use it as it's necessary if ASI Mods are enabled.

Troubleshooting

The "Load ASI Mods" checkbox will only show up if you actually have any .asi mods installed and the TS3PatchLauncher.exe file in your Game/Bin, in order to be less intrusive.

Antivirus software might try to delete the TS3PatchLauncher.exe file or the launcher itself as a false positive. If this happens, disable the antivirus while downloading the mod and add an exception to your Game/Bin. Remember to turn it back on!

ASI Loading requires administrator permission due to the way it injects code into the game. If you get prompted to launch TS3PatchLauncher.exe as administrator, allow it.

Customization

The default panel can be changed with regedit/Registry Editor at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Sims 3\Launcher\Settings\DefaultPanel"

0 = Welcome

1 = Expansions & Stuff

2 = Downloads

3 = Installed Content

4 = Uploads

Updates

Update 1:

Fixed some minor resource managing and visual glitches.

Fixed some more lingering EA bugs with the EP selection screen. Should now be more reliable than ever.

"Expansions & Stuff" is now the default panel.

This can be changed with regedit/Registry Editor at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Sims 3\Launcher\Settings\DefaultPanel"

Hii Frankie!! Which one HQ mod better to use?

Hey Nonny! I don’t use an HQ mod as it makes my sims take hours to change clothes. I am more a fan of SweetFX or Reshade and their Lumasharpen shader, as this shader sharpens your whole game and not just the sims.

And HQ mods are not “mods”. They change 2 numbers in your graphicrules.sgr and that’s it, so which one to use is actually silly :P Honestly, its 100x times better to do it yourself, as your graphicsrules are made for YOUR game, so switching it out with one online can mean your game doesnt recognize your graphics again and other things, so if you want an HQ mod, do this:

1. Go to C:/Program Files/EA/The Sims 3/Game/Bin and BACKUP THE ORIGINAL BEFORE you open the graphicsrules.sgr in notepad.

2. Scroll down till you see “option Simquality” and edit the two numbers I circled. So: normal is 2048, 1.25x>2560, 1.5x>3072, 2x>4096 (I don’t advise going higher). If you scroll a tiny bit further down you also get one next to CAS render or something, you can up that if you want an HQ CAS. You will just need to fiddle to see what looks good. Then just save. If it refuses to save, then use “save as” and save to your desktop, then replace the one in “Bin” with the one you just saved on your desktop. For this to work you need your sim quality texture setting in game on very high.

[TS3] Auto Lights Overhaul

Overview

This mod completely alters the way auto lights work.

Auto lights will now turn off as soon as a Sim leaves the room (Or goes to sleep, as usual)

During the day, lights will remain off, unless they're in a window-less room, then they will turn on as normal as soon as a Sim walks in.

Outdoor lights will remain off during the day and turn on at night.

Burglars will no longer turn on auto lights.

Download

Patreon / SFS

Cheats

You can disable the mod in-game by typing "autolights_disable" into the cheat console. This will bring back the vanilla behavior. You can then re-enable the mod by typing "autolights_enable". These cheats only stick for a single play session, as soon as you switch worlds or savegames the mod will re-enable itself.

Tuning

Inside the package, XML tuning options are available. These let you adjust the day time hours and set if windows should be taken into account during the day time.

Installation

Simply drop the "ld_AutoLightsOverhaul.package" and "ld_Common.package" files into your Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages folder.

Acknowledgements

Thanks to @simmattically for coming up with the original idea!

I'm a fan of traits & trait mods and I really liked Atomtanned's mod /based on Dill's Turn-Ons & Turn-Offs/. This is quite an extensive edit - I just wanted to adjust it a little for my game and once I started I couldn't stop xD

Atomtanned's Trait-Based Chemistry EDIT

& (optional mod) ONLY TO Chemistry

⚡ Download: SFS ⚡BOX

*Archive contains PDF file with detailed list of changes (added / removed stuff) and a few notes.

🟢 Trait-based Chemistry mod edit is available in 7 Languages: English, German, Finnish, Polish, Swedish, Russian, French

❕ New stuff: added Facial Hair TO (replaces Daydreamer), Business Shark TO (was: Serious), Expressive TO (was: Unique). Increased hobby and interest requirements from 5 to 8 pts, Formal wear added to Stylish TO - and more...

I also included an optional mod that switches off Zodiac / Aspiration chemistry and balances out the chemistry bolts gain - so it makes chemistry betwen Sims much less complicated. Obviously it will only be useful for those who like to control every aspect of their Sims romantic lives. Details under the cut.

You'll need Traits /and stuff required for these to work/.

Credits: @atomtanned , @lilbabydilljr , Epi for their TO replacements, @lazyduchess for Lua script

@peanuttysims for No Zodiac & Aspiration attraction (MTS2 link)

I used TS4 icons, icon mashups/ edits, and my own.

Thanks: @tvickiesims , @vegan-kaktus , @lilakartoffelbrei . Special thanks to @episims for all the support 💎🤗

*This is for The Sims 2

More under the cut:

Trait-based Chemistry mod

It will replace original TS2 turn-ons and turn-offs with entirely new ones (only hair colors and fitness/fatness are unchanged!).

It conflicts with NickM406's No More Loading the * Family mod , and Tunaisafish’s Attraction Fix, make sure you don't have tunaisafish_fix_attractiontraits package in your Downloads.

🟢 It's compatible with mods that change /or switch off Zodiac chemistry, Aspiration chemistry, or both.

⚡TURN-ONS / TURN-OFFS:

Note: I've added and removed some stuff, for example Plantsims and Bigfoot from 'Occult' TO, and Zombies from 'Undead' TO!

Well-Liked: Good reputation*, Friendly, Good, Proper, Nurturing.

*"Ghosts" = sims turned into playable ghosts, with Ghost trait (and Mermaids are sims with mermaid trait, but ofc you don't need these to be able to use this mod).

🔸 Hobby requirements in Dill's / Atomtanned's versions (as well as interest) were set to 5 points, which is kinda an average in my game. I don't want TOs to trigger too easily so I've increased these to 8 points, just like Skill point requirements.

I also increased good reputation requirement from 30 to 60.

Above is the comparison of original vs new TOs, in the exact order.

FYI I've fixed the little mistake I've found in the mod - in my version stylish TO works as it should.

If you have any questions about how the game calculates attraction, read this.

And here's free version (SFS) of my buyable ReNuYu potion default, will be useful if you'd like to correct TOs for all your Sims.

"ONLY TO Chemistry" mod

Conflicts with No Zodiac Chemistry by Belladovah , chemistry mods by Peanutty (it incorporates their "No zodiac and no Aspiration"mod) and any other that contain Attraction Constants BCON and Attraction Tuning BCON.

In unmodded TS2 game, interests and skills do not play part in attraction. Trait-based chemistry changes that only to some extent because Zodiac and Aspiration are more important. To make TOs the crucial attraction factor in my game, I disabled Zodiac / Aspiration Chemistry, and tweaked bolt requirements.

This mod makes chemistry between Sims straightforward and TO-based however various bonuses to attraction also apply (!), like Beauty Wish, Vacation bonuses, bonus for very good rep or penalty for extremely bad reputation (even if your Sim likes bad guys, they will be put off by Dirty Dirtbag status, and enticed by extremely good rep). Anyways, if you use this mod and your Sims have no other attraction bonuses, then:

if one Sim has a turn-on towards the other, and the other has none, it results in no bolts

if one Sim has two turn-ons towards the other, and the other has none, Sims have one bolt chemistry

if one Sim has a turn-on towards the other, and the other has a turn-off, it results in negative chemistry

if a couple has single turn-ons towards each other, it gives them one-bolt chemistry

couple has three turn-ons, that gives them two bolts

couple has three turn-ons, one turn-off, that gives them one bolt

couple has double turn-ons, they have three-bolt chemistry

Special bonuses granted by mods for certain Traits like the "irresistible" still matter of course.

Testing a split level lighting fix for TS3 on Patreon early access for a couple of weeks :}

[miriyasims]

[TS3] Random Sim Fixes 2.0

Overview

This mod attempts to fix and improve Sim generation and age up, mainly by getting rid of pudding face, with a whole lot of other fixes and improvements.

Download

Patreon / MTS

Features

Generated Sims will no longer be pudding faced.

Sims won't age up into or generate with future clothing on non-future worlds anymore, and a lot of homeworld inappropriate or costume clothing has been blacklisted (No more elf hats!)

Male Sims now have tunable chances to grow facial hair and body hair, both on age up and on Sim generation.

Generated Sims will now actually have random voices and voice pitches, rather than all being 50% pitch Voice 1. Sims will also re-roll voice types on age up as more voice types become available to them.

Fitness, weight and breast size are now randomized as well, including muscle definition. Muscle definition depends on fitness and weight, with some variation.

Sims will no longer generate with green hair colors. Via tuning, you can also make it so that generated Sims randomly pick hair colors that you've saved as presets in CAS.

Installation

There are 2 flavors available, same mod, different tuning:

"ld_RandomSimFixes.zip" - Default flavor. Hair color for generated Sims is chosen from a preset list.

"ld_RandomSimFixes_CustomHair.zip" - Custom hair colors flavor. Hair color for generated Sims is chosen from your custom saved CAS hair color presets.

Just drop the package into your Documents/Sims 3/Mods/Packages folder.

You can modify the tuning with S3PE - inside of the package you can find a commented XML with all of the tuning values.

Compatibility

Won't take effect if you already have a core mod that fixes pudding faces - disable this feature in the core mod if possible to have this work.

Special thanks to Simler90, as I've found about some of these issues thanks to his GameplaySystems core mod.

Changelog

Update 2.0

Fixed Sim voices incorrectly randomizing on age up to young adult or older.

Store Future CAS Parts are now filtered out as future clothing.

Removed green hair colors for randomly generated Sims.

Added body hair generation.

Added clothing blacklist.

Added ability to utilize custom CAS hair color presets for generated Sims.
