Hello! Concerning TS3 Late Night EP, I've been unable to locate in Buy Mode the Food Truck parking space that appear throughout Bridgeport, even by using the buydebug cheat. If a mod is utilized, the modded Food Trucks remain parked and do not travel around. Is it possible to unlock the Food Truck parking space? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated ;)

This mod makes the food truck parking space visible in Buy Mode, both under Sort by Room \ Outdoors \ Transportation, and Sort by Function \ Vehicles \ Cars. It can now be duplicated and deleted with the Hand Tool.

⚠️When you put down a food truck parking space, you need to also add a trashcan to the lot (Build \ Community Objects \ Misc) in order for the food truck to park there! (source)

=== NOTES ===

You most likely need the Late Night EP for this, since the food truck comes with it.

If you have the Pets EP, the ice cream truck may also stop in this parking space.

You can use Nraas Traffic to adjust how many food and ice cream trucks your neighborhood spawns, and to enable the food truck for Suburban-type worlds.

With Nraas Traffic installed, I ran some tests both in Bridgeport (classed as Downtown) and in the Bigger Builder's Island (classed as Suburban). With the Require Parking Space setting set to True, in Bridgeport the food trucks still spawned; in BBI, however, they didn't spawn at all. So, if you use Nraas Traffic, you may need to set food trucks to not require parking spaces in Suburban-type worlds. Thus, they will park both outside lots and on the allotted parking spaces.

It doesn't seem to matter which way you place the parking space, but it's generally preferred for the part with the traffic cones to face the edge of the lot.

Trucks do not become stuck in these parking spaces.

                4t3 Conversion from VintageSimstress’ 1890′s 

                                               Wedding Gowns

4t3 conversions from two late-victorian wedding gowns for all your ladies, made by the most talented VintageSimstress, now to ts3! Hope you like them! Enjoy! <3

————— —————

Known Problems:

The trains on these gowns don’t really work as intended… VS’ words are my words: “It looks like there are two ways in which a train can behave: either you assign it to calves, thanks to which it behaves perfectly while sitting, but jumps stiffly up and down while walking, or you assign it to pelvis, which makes it lie on the floor while walking, but disappear underground while sitting. I decided to go for the second option, as I think trailing behind and looking all beautiful is the point of a train - right? But that means it won’t be fully visible while sitting. I’m sorry, the game just comes with some limitations.“

Not exactly a problem, but please have in mind that these gowns are considered high poly, and I don’t recommend these for people with low-end pcs! I had to keep the polycount this way because otherwise the bones would look suuper crunchy and unstable, and apparently making edge loops didn’t work for me. Sorry!

Also, I highly recommend using the no feet mesh by @danjaley​ here, especially with the 1890′s wedding gown. they can poke out of the dress in some animations and this prevents it! A lot of ea dresses act like this too, so maxis match!! lol

LIGHTING GLITCHES ONLY APPEAR ON CAS!

* Note that teens and elders have unsolvable neck gaps. This is sadly the price for having them available! for teens, try using this slider by gruesim!

ALL OG CREDITS GO TO @vintagesimstress​! IT’S NOT MY MESHES, AND IT’S NOT MY TEXTURES, I JUST CONVERTED THEM TO THE SIMS 3!

————— —————

NOTES:

The 1890′s wedding gown has 2 presets: one with a floral pattern (main one), and the second one is plain, so you can put any pattern you want on top of it!

The pearls in both gowns are overlayed, to make room for other things to be recolorable. The lace details are also overlayed on the 1894′s wedding gown.

Yan was having a mostly lovely conversation with this lady, when some rude ass made it awkward.

update: it's not exactly a copycat situation since 1) a few articles lied about erik denslow being a ceo when he's actually just the president of the company 2) erik denslow is still alive and expected to recover soon.

thank you to the folks that brought this to my attention. also, please keep your eyes on Nathan Mahoney. i think the reason this story isn't gaining much traction is due to police not wanting a repeat of applause (or further action) over a ceos demise by us, the people. do not allow this story to get swept under the rug, share it everywhere !

Some tips for The Sims 3 Buy/Build

Install LazyDuchess’ Smooth Patch to alleviate lag, esp in Buy/Build and CAS.

Keep your CC merged and organized, esp your patterns, this will also alleviate a lotta lag across all modes.

When building on community lots, or any lot rlly, avoid going to the edit world menu, and just put testingcheats enabled into the cheat window, then shift+click the ground of the lot to enter Buy/Build mode. This makes leaving it to save a lot easier, with less “preparing” screens to possibly get hung up in.

Lower your settings, you don’t need any adjacent lots loaded, and you certainly don’t need super water on either. You can always switch these back on when you’re done.

While you’re at it, remove your HQ mod, and turn off your Reshade/Gshade preset, or at least turn off your depth shaders. I only ever turn on my depth shaders when I’m taking screenshots for better fps while playing. The DoF shader esp requires a lotta resources your game could be using to simulate all those 78 townie sims instead.

Save as… vs Save, I Save as… at least every third save. It’s also just good habit to keep backups.

When using the CASt tool, set down everything you plan to CASt first, then switch to a category like the wall tool to avoid eventual lag and drag when using it a lot. Love yourself. You don’t have to suffer using CASt tool in an overpopulated category like misc deco.

Utilize the clone option through testing cheats to duplicate already CASted objects, it’ll keep your design just like the dropper tool, but it’s a lot less time consuming, I promise.

Don’t be afraid to use the swatch save tool for objects you use often, esp community lot objects, as it helps to keep your aesthetic consistent. I also keep all of my favorite streetlamps, benches, and public trash bins etc in a convenient custom collection folder to speed up the process of doing multiple lots in one sitting. These handy tools are there, use them.

The issue with custom counters. They mess up sometimes, if you can’t recolor it suddenly, here’s how to fix that. Now if you can’t place down a cupboard suddenly, even though nothing’s in the way, and you’ve got moveobjects on activated, try putting it on the wall a tile over, and then try adding it to your desired spot again. Lastly if you set down counters or cupboards at a corner, and it messes up the textures, but you can still recolor it, you could do what the video I linked above does, or you could simply pull out the CASt tool, and switch it back to any of its original swatches and click the check, then feel free to recolor it as you want.

Railings will also do the “can’t recolor” trick too, but this is a simple fix, just delete it, and replace it, and you’re good.

“Oh no, I switched between buy and build mode, and now my catalogue won’t load, and I can’t click on anything at all!” Don’t panic, hit F2 and/or F3 on your keyboard, these are shortcuts for switching between them, and if you’re lucky it’ll load properly again. Should you get the bug where you load a category and it’s somehow empty, don’t fret, just click on a different category and this should fix it. Then if you get the bug where all the objects you put down disappear suddenly, sorry your game is haunted. Call an exorcist, or just reload, they might reappear if you do.

Tbh, if you run into any kind of major bugs, it’s likely a sign to either save immediately or just restart your game. These only ever show up when you’ve been at it a while ( at least for me ), therefore starting fresh wouldn’t hurt. Probably also wouldn’t hurt to check whether you might’ve installed something the game didn’t agree with by running Dashboard, or put it through the ol’ Save Cleaner.

Honorable Mention: Keep an eye on the texture sizes and poly counts of objects. I know it’s tempting to build these ultra hyperrealistic lots with clutter at every inch, but unless you’re just doing it for screenshots, or for your story, or using it very sparingly, it is not by any means recommended purely for gameplay. This is just the truth when it comes to any Sims game. You don’t want lag, or max memory crashes, or save errors? The Sims 3 is a 32bit game, that’s almost old enough to drive, be easy on it.

No Social Groups

Hi! Thank you all for the support on the Catalog Search Mod :) I'm so happy y'all enjoy it, and has put me in the mood to play TS3 more lately.

I've made this small mod which removes Social Groups as I find them particularly annoying, but you can choose to keep them in University worlds only if you prefer!

Hairdresser Mod Update

Hello everyone! Kinda dropped off the face of the internet the other day; to apologise, here’s an update of the hairdressing mod!

New features: 

Temporarily dye your sims’ hair for a tuneable length of time. Once your sims’ roots and eyebrows grow out, it’ll be time for a retouch! 

Hairdressers can now try and impress salon bystanders into being clients with new social interactions such as: ‘Impress with skill’, ‘Name drop famous clients’, etc. 

Sims with ‘Bad Hair Day’ buff can try and fix their hair in the mirror.

Fixed Features: 

Pets will no longer get the ‘Bad Hair Day’ buff. Going into CAS will no longer change sims’ age. Tooltip now visible on social interactions.

For more info, check the MTS or page or the documentation included in the download!

Baby Food Default Replacement 🍎

This is a quick texture replacement for baby food using the applesauce texture from The Sims 4 that I edited slightly. The texture size is increased from 128x128 to 256x256.

Place this package file in your Mods -> Overrides folder.
