Ever Wanted High Resolution Shadows In The Sims 3 And Not The Blocky Vanilla Shadows, Well Look No Further

granthes' OMSP & Buckley's Resizers Updated

The Changes:

Edited the mesh; it's now slightly smaller with new UVMap. Somewhat a cosmetic change.

Edited the script; 2m up & down is replaced with 5cm up & down. STBL's are also edited to accommodate the said change.

Edited the preset to use the solid colour in miscellaneous patterns to reduce the wait time. And MOST IMPORTANTLY added a second INVISIBLE preset. I personally think this was much needed, since these OSMPs are notorious for not staying invisible.

Now, the important things you need to know before using this:

These will replace granthes' and @buckleysims' files. You need to remove those and install mine instead. Also you CAN NOT mix & match those with mine. You need my edit of OMSP with my edit of Resizers. After installation all you need to do is go to your lots with OMSPs and use the design tool to get the invisible preset.

I added my creator name to files for convenience so you guys will know where you get these or at least that they are altered. Although, I realise that my tumblr name and creator name doesn't match so that's a fallacy on my part. Anyway, I didn't remove Buckley's original credits in the STBLs so there is that.

I tested these in a relatively clean The Sims 3 folder and save that I use for testing stuff, so everything should be okay. If not, do tell.

Into The Future Soil Rugs With Additional Invisible Presets - default replacement

This was requested by @echoweaver (sorry it took me so long to upload!). I added a second invisible preset to all five ITF soil rugs so they are a bit more versatile. I decided against replacing the original texture with an empty one because I didn't want it to mess up pre-built houses in Oasis Landing, so instead I added a new preset. Because of that, I had to edit the .OBJD resources along with the textures, so if you're using these hiders by @bioniczombie, make sure to delete the hiders for these rugs!

Donate to Help me get Pineal Cyst Removal Surgery!, organized by Ella Collis

Hi there, my name is Ella, and I have had a constant headache for 14 years. I am … Ella Collis needs your support for Help me get Pineal Cys

Hi there, my name is Ella, and I have had a constant headache for 14 years. I am 26 years old. Painkillers do not work.

The pain is caused by a Pineal Cyst. Pineal cysts are relatively common, 1-2% of the population has one, but it is not common that they cause symptoms. Few doctors on this planet even believe they do cause symptoms.

I need Pineal Cyst Removal Surgery if I am ever to experience a pain free day again. The only hospital that offers this surgery in my country, England, is deciding whether it wants to bear the risk of offering this surgery after I was on the waiting list for 6 months. I have found two European surgeons who can perform this surgery and believe I am a good candidate for it.

Needless to say, I, being a disabled unemployed person, cannot afford the surgery. I should be able to have it free on the NHS but it is not routinely offered so they won't fund me getting it abroad.

I am suicidally depressed because of my chronic pain. Doctors don't care about this cyst because it's not a threat to my life. Anti-depressants can only dull the pain so much.

Can people please reblog this, no matter how small your blog is, so that it can get traction?

A divine pleasure ⭐

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!

Hello! We bring to you the most comprehensive archive of MTSims3-Cakestore /ChiSims CC we could scrounge from the Internet! MTSims-Cakestore was a website that housed many works from creators, particularly Chinese, for The Sims 2, 3, and 4. Their website ceased to exist around 2019, thereby taking down many amazing CC from creators such as LemonLeaf, Qingshuang Tongzi, Moirae, Twilight, and more. Many files are still missing, so we would greatly appreciate your help in locating them and adding them to the backup! There's Sims 3 CC, especially Asian-style, for Create-a-Sim, Build/Buy, and more! Please note this folder contains only Sims 3 CC. ↓ ↓ DOWNLOAD HERE - MEGA FOLDER We appreciate reblogs and repostings to forums and other places to not only improve visibility, but to outreach to more people who can help donate any MTSims CC and items they may have!
