How To Keep Sims From Moving Around When You’re Photo-shooting, Without Resorting To Poses (yes, It

Liberated Cows

Three edits of the store’s cow-shed. Please read the instructions carefully.

A working copy of the Store’s cowshed must be installed in your game to use these edits. However, they won’t override the original or each other. -> If you don’t have the Store’s cowstable, use the script-file that is included with the download.

Included are:

The two cows formerly inside the shed now standing on the pasture

Only one of the stationary cows on the pasture. It’s the outer cow, so with this edit you won’t have three cows standing conspicuously side by side.

A pile of hay with only the milkable cow walking around it. I couldn’t make a completely invisible shed because you can’t grab the walking cow in buymode.

These can’t be recoloured with the Create a Style tool. If you install them unedited, the cows will be EA’s colours - I thought this easiest for players who like to keep it maxis-match, are uncomfortable with S3PE or don’t have a strong graphics card. The footprint still reflects the original object’s dimensions (you’ll still need the space for your cow to walk around).

You can customize these edits by importing different cow-textures into the packages. I remapped the stationary cows to use the same uv-map as the walking cow. All currently available cow textures are included in the package as DDS files, along with instructions how to import them. With friendly permission of @aminovas, I included her detailed retextures as well. Preview 2 shows the two standing cows in her Jersey texture, preview 3 shows the single standing cow and the walking cow in matching Guernsey textures.

Aminovas’ default textures for the walking cow can be downloaded here and here. You can only install one of them at a time. It will affect the third cow in the original and in all of my edits, because the walking cow is actually a separate object which gets spawned by the shed.

Catalogue info: They’re found under Hobbies/Skills and Pets/Misc.

TF can use AF clothes neck sliders

Be warned, these sliders are NOT perfect, I have yet to find a way to do this. Using Master Controller you can enable AF clothing for TF. They have a very similar neck shape anyway (bottom pic). The remaining issue is the shading seam (which could only be fixed by making a default replacement teen head). However, I feel you can edit this out pretty easily in photoshop. The biggest issue was that the fat slider was very different (top left pic) so you got a massive gap. So I made a slider that kinda fixes this gap (top right), so for your slightly more curvy teens you can use AF clothes without a massive neck gap. Found under general head sliders.

I'm particularly in the disguised laptop and tv. Does anyone know know where I can find something similar?

Asian Theme (Chinese): Why I love MtSims-CakeStore.com

Looking to really decorate the sims “China” travel world?  Or wanting to recreate ancient China in your normal neighbourhood?  Please, visit MtSims-CakeStore.com if you haven’t. And here is why:

This is a computer… :)

This is a television…

I always wanted to do something like this at least once but I never had the occasion until I realised not so long ago, that my clutter folder for decorating closet was not so small. I searched for more decoration clutters and then did this. I hope it will be useful one way or another. Also this is part 01 so this mean that there is more to come indeed. Next probably will be the shoes. And no custom patterns where used because I didn’t want to make the list longer… So all patterns are from EA.

Downtown Roles Mod Tutorial - TS3 - Mature Gameplay Ideas

NSFW 18+ mature content / a long read   

TLDR: this is a compilation/recommendation list of mods, a tutorial on how to set up NPCs, and how to tie it all together to add some mature gameplay to your save. 😈

Misukisu/Virtual Artisan had a “Downtown Roles” mod that sadly does not work anymore for the latest versions of TS3. Her mod basically allowed players to add role sims to community lots so your sims could have more NPCs to interact with, making the lots feel more alive in a mature "downtown" sort of way.

I was inspired by her mod and I want to share how you can recreate and expand her mod’s functions with Nraas Register and Arsil’s Custom Generic Role mod. Some players might already know how these mods work, but it was a new discovery for me. I didn’t know how useful role sims could be! It got the gears in my dirty mind turning.

The main purpose of this mod list/tutorial: to add role sims to community lots for your main sims to interact with, while they’re out on the town. These will be sims outside of your household. Their main “job” is to hang out at the lot. You can let the game generate new sims to fill these roles, or assign existing sims in the town to fill the roles.

Examples of role sims you can create: 

A regular patron at a dive bar for your sim to befriend or make enemies with.

A sexy single sim at a beach, gym, pool, bar or club for your sim to mingle and hook up with. 

An escort at a brothel for your sim to woohoo with (Passion mod). 

A client for your sim to sell drugs/weapons to (MonocoDoll Vile Ventures mod and Arms Dealing mod) - I have not tested this but in theory it should work. 

You can add multiple role sims on each lot. You could have a number of partygoers on a club lot/a number of escorts on a brothel lot/a number of mobsters or criminals on a warehouse lot who will always be there when your sim visits.

Why role sims?

Townies are unpredictable - you never know which lot they’ll show up on, and how long they’ll stay. Role sims will consistently be there as the supporting characters in your main sim’s story. 

Having consistent NPCs at certain locations around town can help with story-driven gameplay scenarios.

You can move a household of your own sims into town and assign them to fill various roles. See pretty NPCs around town!

If you let the game generate new sims for the roles, then it saves you the hassle of setting up new households yourself. You can always edit them later in CAS.

Limitations: 

According to Arsil, it seems like sims who are already employed (such as most townies) will be removed from their jobs if they are assigned to be role sims. So I would avoid using any employed townies for this unless you are ok with that. Use unemployed residents instead.

I believe the role sim cannot leave the lot during the designated work hours. Your sim cannot form a group with them and go to another venue. However, you can invite the sim over or hang out afterwards from the relationship panel.

Mods Needed:

Nraas Master Controller + Integration Module

Nraas Register

Arsil‘s Custom Generic Role mod (both the floor marker and the desk)

Passion (if you want your sim to be able to have sex with the role sims on the lot or have the role sims dance on the stripper pole) 

MonocoDoll’s Vile Ventures mod (if you want to create NPC clients for your sim to sell to) 

MonocoDoll’s Arms Dealing mod (if you want to create NPC clients for your sim to sell to) 

How to Set Up: 

Step 1: Install the mods listed above. Then, open the save file you want to add some downtown sleaze to. 

Step 2: Find a community lot you want to add role sims to. This could be a bar, nightclub, brothel/motel/strip club, a run-down warehouse or block of buildings, casino, etc. I have downloaded many lots from Flora2 at ModtheSims and @simsmidgen here on Tumblr that fit the gritty urban vibe.  

Step 3: Enter Build/Buy mode. You can do this from Live mode. 

Press Ctrl + Shift + C, enter this cheat: testingcheatsenabled true 

Press the Shift key and click on the ground of the community lot. 

Click on “Build on this lot”. 

You can also enter Edit Town mode to renovate the community lot. 

Step 4: Place Arsil’s Custom Generic Role floor marker or desk on the lot. Place one for each role sim you want to create. They are located in Build Mode -> Community Objects -> Misc. If the desk looks out of place, use the floor marker instead. 

Step 5: In Live mode, click on the object -> Settings to set:

The name of the role (clubgoer/stripper/escort/mobster/etc.) 

The “work” hours the sim will be on the lot for 

The days off 

The motives to freeze or not (I recommend freezing all the motives to avoid interactions being interrupted/sims complaining due to low motives) 

If the sim you want to assign to the role already lives in town, click on the object -> Nraas -> Register -> Select -> Choose criteria -> select the sim from the list. I would avoid choosing any employed townies as they may lose their job when switching to this role. Choose unemployed residents to avoid conflicts.

Remove assigned roles: click on the object to remove the sim from the role.

Step 6: In Live mode, click on City Hall -> Nraas -> Register

Allow immigration: choose whether you want new sims to be moved into town to take the roles (enable this if you want the game to generate new sims for the roles) 

Allow immigration = False: if you set this option to false, then a new option called "Find Empty Roles" should appear. You can then assign any sim to the role object you placed, from City Hall.

Allow resident assignment: choose whether you want existing unemployed townies to be randomly assigned to fill the roles (I recommend to disable this. I had Buster Clavell show up to work at my strip club. NO!)

Pay per hour: I'm not sure how to adjust the pay for each custom role but you can just leave it at the default or change it globally

Remove roles: click on the object to remove the sim from the role, or click on City Hall -> Nraas -> Register -> Global Roles -> Remove by sim

Step 7: In Live mode, give the game some time to generate the role sims. Visit the community lot and have a look at your new role sims. The role sims should autonomously interact with other sims and objects on the lot. Using Nraas Master Controller, you can take the sim into CAS to give them a makeover, edit their traits, or replace them with a sim from your sim bin. 

Step 8: Make your sim interact with the shiny new role sims and play out the storylines you always wished were possible. Public hookups, functioning brothels, selling drugs and guns - this is what The Sims 3 was made for, baby!!! 

Related Mods:

Arsil’s Exotic Dancer Stage - if you have a club community lot, you can use this mod to hire dancers. You can use role sims to add other NPCs to the club such as guests, shady business sims, or non-dancer sex workers. 

Nraas Relativity - this handy mod can slow down the speed of time so your sim can spend more time doing their "activities"

Nraas Woohooer - if you don’t want the explicit sex animations from Passion, you could use this mod instead to provide more woohoo options. 

Passion - for brothels/strip clubs, this mod will add sex animations and the ability to have role sims dance on the stripper pole. 

MonocoDoll’s Vile Ventures mod and Arms Dealing mod - you can use role sims to create more clients for your sim to sell drugs and weapons to, like different individuals/gangs/mobs. You could have different clients hanging out at different spots in the city. 

LazyDuchess Lot Population - this mod populates community lots with townies, and they can interact with the role sims you’ve created. 

Service Sims Out on the Town - this pushes service sims to visit community lots, to add even more variety to your crowds. 

Conclusion

If you made it to the end, thank you for reading. Please let me know if you try out this style of gameplay, and if you have ideas for more role sims and community lots to make. This tutorial was NSFW-oriented but you could easily adapt it to create NPCs for SFW community lots.

Shorter Foundations Tutorial

Someone asked me if it was possible to create shorter foundations in TS3, as it is in TS4. While we don’t have the convenient slider, it is possible! And it’s not too difficult either. So I took some quick pictures to illustrate the process. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. The basic instructions are on the screenshots, and a more detailed explanation plus more tips are below the cut.
