TS3 Lighting Tutorial: Backlighting

linmeadow by pleyita 🌲

To get scones make jam with 3 pieces of fruit at the canning station. Be amazed as your sims stick their bare hands in boiling hot water. Then click on the jam and the option to put it on a scone magically appears. No indication as to whether they are cake-like or biscuit-like scones.

OHHHHH~!!!!! O_O Call me an idiot, but I thought the scones were supposed to be MADE! I went through all kinds of aggravation using the Wood Fire Oven to make Country Bread and whatnot, hoping that I would be able to spread the marmalade/etc on the bread and that that where the “scones/toast” talk was coming from; I was so confused when it didn’t work! :P

I just don’t understand how bread could come from a Canning Station! XP (Lol)

Thank you for clarifying that! :)

Private Clinic - Psychiatry

Ever want to do something to help all the messed up Sims in your town? With this mod, your Sim can run a private clinic as a therapist.

You can join the Psychiatry career, buy a Therapist couch and start treating patients for all their emotional and mental maladies. Using a clinic controller object, patients will be pushed to your clinic lot in need of treatment. Active patients can be identified by the orange and white symbol over their head (pictured above).

This is the first part of a larger game mod that allows Sims to be more active doctors similar to what we have in TS4 Get to Work. Your Sim will be able to run a clinic out of their house or from a commercial lot and treat patients for different ailments. Eventually you'll be able to play as a Psychiatrist, Optometrist, Ob-GyM, or a General Physician.

This mod also adds two additional features:

Medicine - Sims can buy prescription or over-the-counter medicine to treat various mild ailments. Medicines can be purchased at the grocery store (Home section) or Buy catalog. There is also a collection file where you can find all available objects. Prescription medicine can only be obtained at the grocery store or hospital with a prescription.

Drug Addiction - Sims can get addicted to the prescription medicine if they overuse it. This can lead to withdrawal symptoms and potential overdose. There is an option to go to rehab at the hospital for Sims that need the help to kick the habit.

You need NRaas Careers (for the custom career), University, Island Paradise, Ambitions EPs.

Download instructions:

The Private Clinic main module has all the medicines, the clinic controller and addiction system. You need that to play as a Therapist but if you just want the medicines, you only need to download these files. Note that you cannot write prescriptions or do anything doctor related without downloading the Psychiatry module. Download here

There is also a collection file which has all the available objects

The Psychiatry module is required to play as a therapist. The career is optional but some features won't be available without it. Download here

There are documentation files in both folders that go through the features in detail so PLEASE READ through them before downloading.

Credits/Thanks: All the objects except for the Couch which is EA's are from @aroundthesims so thanks as always to Sandy for her wonderful stuff and generous use policy. Buff images are courtesy of Freepik. Thanks to everyone on the S3 Creators Discord that did early testing for the mod, especially @misspats3 who tests like it's her job with photos, videos, detailed notes. 👌 Also to Battery who helped me with the manager system.

As always if you have any issues (resets, missing strings, etc.) please let me know.

RIP Tina Turner 💔

Hi I'm wondering what you mean when you say you clean your cc? Thank you!

Oh Lordy, this is a long one but I will try to get it all in:

General points:

Once I download CC I rename it using ReNamer to remove any special sighs like &/%([ etc, as reading those can slow down the game

Then I will give each object a code before it like “Obj_kid_” or “CAS_top_af” so I know what it is

I don’t rename the actual file name, cause if I redownload it forgetting I already have it, then if it keeps the file name I will realize its a duplicate

Then I run all my new CC through s3rc to compress it

Then it goes in a “test” folder under mods first to make sure its not corrupt

If its okay, a copy goes into a Backup folder, where like the codes I have a file for everything, so CAS>Hair>AF, Build>Walls etc. This means I always know where to find my CC

Then I put it into CC Magic where again I have the same folder set-up. I NEVER manually merge, its a pain and you cannot undo it.

I NEVERRRRRRRRR install sims3packs, I always convert to .package using s3ce

Specific Points:

Patterns: I convert them to packages then fix them following this tutorial

Houses: I convert them to packages using s3ce, then I usually use dashboard to find the lot file and put that into my Library Folder, and IF (usually not the case) I want the CC from the houses I may look through the other package files. Usually I don’t as I will get a million duplicates, shit loads of clutter. Installing a house as sims3pack can mean up to 600 files installed! And if you install 2 houses you probably have like 200 duplicate files that are in both. Again, NEVER install sims3packs!

Clothing/Accesories: Now often creators don’t know about this method of keeping their file sizes down, so I open each bit of clothing in s3pe, delete ALL duplicate images. This will mess it up, so I then open them in TSRW, make sure to replace the missing images using “Browse” while also deleting any presets I don’t want or any stencils I dislike. This usually likes halves the file size! I will also make sure it is in all the categories I want and not for any silly categories or valid for random.

AF Clothes: So I made my own preg morph (EA’s bump is too small) so in addition to the above I actually remorph all my AF clothes to have a bigger bump ;)

Hair: Again, just check for correct categories

Makeup: I sort my makeup, so all nosemasks go into Eyeliner, all eyebags go into Eyeshadow, all babyhairs go into Lipstick. Then, as creators often forget, I enable makeup for teens and elders too. For Blush, I also enable it for toddlers and kids.

Contacts: I enable them for kids and toddlers if creators have forgotten

Poses: I have a special folder for poses, and if they are not poselist enabled I will save the preview picture online and rename it to the pose code, so I have a sorted folder with photos of all my poses

Skins: Each skin is opened in Skininator and given my ramps and a special icon with the name of the skin (I hate berry ramps and don’t need 5 ramps per skin). In this way my skin panel is very organized. In addition, I use “COMPACT SAVE” in skiniator. I dunno why creators don’t but it drastically reduced the file size. I saved 3GB of CC just by resaving my skins….

Objects: Just make sure they are categorized the way I want. I also remove half the stuff from “Misc Decor” and stick it somewhere else. Aka, pillows/blankets go into “sculpture” for me and are also sorted into “beds” if they are for beds.

My mods folder used to be a mess, with merged packages, duplicates and a lot of CC I didn’t use. It had 36GB. Now I am down to 10GB literally just by cleaning my CC. I lost 6GB alone just by removing duplicate _IMG files and compressing my CC and skins….

Obviously most people don’t have the patience to do all the above, but hey, I load my game fully in super speed, I don’t have any lag whatsoever and in build/buy mode my categories load faster cause I don’t have loads of CC I don’t need.

Oh yeah, my FAQ page also tells you ways to get your game to run faster ;)

Hope this helps you Nonny!

TS3 World Adventures - EA’s Chinese Lantern Red Colour Mod 

D E F A U L T   R E P L A C E M E N T

Traditional Chinese lantern has history of thousand years.  The traditional Chinese lantern is always red in default. With other colour variation is gold. To any non Chinese people who wants to depict traditional Chinese lantern, colour it with red colour, as this is not fancy modern lamp. 

Whoever team worked for The Sims 3 World Adventures didn’t consult to Chinese person at all, resulting fatal mistake at representing Chinese lantern. 

Buy mode catalogue shows Chinese lantern in white colour. White is colour symbolizes purity and mourning to death. Not suitable for Chinese lantern at all, where it is supposed to depict luck, joy, and happiness in red colour.    

In Shang Simla world, the lanterns were shown in orange colour. Not common colour at all. Never in my life seen Chinese lanterns in orange colour, especially white colour. Very no no no. 

——————————

Changes: Overlay —> Replace the wrong colour and dull chocolate rim with red and proper gold texture. 

Recolourable: 

1 channel: Lantern support. 

Red Lantern cannot be recoloured.

Buyable object has automatic red colour default replacement from catalogue.

Known Issues: 

if you load your Sims game straight to Shang Simla world, the lantern cannot be reset to default replacement red colour with Nraas’ Debug Enabler, it will reset to EA colour. 

❗ You must load the lantern from buy mode catalogue first! It is to load the overlay texture.   You need to install Nraas’ Debug Enabler (Core mod by Twallan) in order to work correctly ❗  

Follow these steps to reset the textures:

Visit any Sim household in buy mode > buy EA’s Chinese lantern (you can choose to not save the game) > travel or choose save game in Shang Simla world > Click on the lantern > Nraas > Debug Enabler > Options: Lantern Illuminator > Objects… > Reset Textures > (Choose one) All Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Lighting.Mimics.LightingWallAsian or This Object
