Religion for Sims (v.1.0)

This is a collection of script and object mods that creates religions for Sims through the use of custom skills. There are two religions that Sims can practice: Peteran and Omiscan. Sims can pray/worship, make offerings, attend religious services and teach other Sims of their religion. The two religions are different and have different practices that you have to learn and can share. Peteran Sims can become priests which is a rabbithole career with active interactions where they can give live sermons, convert other Sims, ask for church donations and absolve Sims of their "sins".

This mod requires Battery's Script Utility, NRaaS Career (for the custom career), and CCLoader and the University EP for the custom herb to work.

Please read through all the documentation, there's a lot of information about the features and gameplay.

Download:

Necessary: olomaya_religion_Peteran.package, olomaya_religion_Omiscan.package, olomaya_banisteria_herb.package

Optional (but def recommended to get all the mod features): olomaya_PeteranReligion_Career.package, olomaya_PeteranBook.package, ATS3_object_sims4to3_jungle_amazoniteskull_Omiscan.package, ATS3_object_sims4to3_jungle_ancienttalkingstatue_Omiscan.package, Mspoodle_TSM_PeteranPrayerWood_Peteran.package, Mspoodle_TSM_PeteranPulpit_Peteran.package

The objects are courtesy of the very talented @mspoodle1 and ATS Sandy. You can basically just copy and paste the script into whatever objects you want to customize the aesthetics of the religions to your liking.

Thanks to: @misspats3 for all her testing, her work in putting together the extremely thorough documentation, and for pushing me to finally release this. I think this mod has been done for a year but I'm lazy. @zoeoe-sims for all her help with getting the custom skill to work with a custom career. SonjaA, @omedapixel, Alunn and others (again, this was so long ago I'm sure there's people I'm forgetting. forgive me!) for their testing and feedback. MsPoodle and Sandy for their generosity in letting me share new/alternate scripted versions of their work and for making cool stuff that makes me go "ooh, what if that were functional?"

Custom moodlets made with FlatIcons and GIMP and loaded using Battery's Script Template.

The mod has been tested with several players and I played with it for months but I'm sure me just saying that will produce a bug I've never come across so let me know if you find it!

Enjoy!

UL CLOTHING FIXES

I hate school spirit, and now your Sims can too! I removed most of the stencils from the UL clothing - not all. Because hey, maybe you want a LITTLE spirit. A few pieces of clothing are not pictured, but you get the idea. I removed the gnome logos mainly - but some have all the logos removed! YOU NEED UL FOR THESE TO WORK.

I suspect that deleting the CASThumbnails file will refresh the images in CAS!

ALSO, I fixed the shine on all clothing - some were just terrible. You may have both fixes.

ROCK FESTIVAL STAGE (MINIMAL CC)

It’s almost time for Simstock again! Horrendously-pricey tickets have been purchased, wellies have been packed, phones charged, and anxious parents’ questions eyerolled at. It’s time to rock out! \m/

This is a 64x64 lot with minimal CC. EA content may come from any EP or SP (I honestly didn’t note everything down, but there’s a lot of stuff from Showtime, Ambitions, Late Night, etc).

REQUIRED CC - This CC is NOT included with the build. You MUST download and install it prior to installing this lot.

Around The Sims - Stuff for Summer Festivals

Around The Sims - Guitar Player’s Den

HA2D - Microphone Set

CycloneSue - Flat Cement Roof Trim

CycloneSue - Barbed & Chickenwire Fences

There is one other item (a column by LunaSims) which I have included in the .zip file. This is mainly because Luna’s download locations move quite frequently, and I didn’t want to keep coming back to this post and updating it!

This lot has not been play-tested, as it was built primarily as a photoshoot location. Be warned: a lot of MOO was used! It should be mostly fine, though.

I’ve also included a notecard containing useful info for concert photoshoots, such as:

Where to get guitar, bass, and hand mic accessories

Suggested poses

The lot has been optimised in CUSTARD and comes in at 3.38MB.

How to keep Sims from moving around when you’re photo-shooting, without resorting to poses (yes, it IS possible!)

Because I’m trying to shoot pics for a large wedding party, I figured I’d eventually run into the bane of every Simmer who attempts to put a lot of Sims into one location:

They won’t bloody well stay where you want them to!

Want them all sitting down? Soon enough, one or more of them will get out of their chairs, even if you have Sim Autonomy OFF.

I found something that fixes that, and it’s something so simple: the Movie Maker cheats.

Apparently, you need Generations for this (or you did when it was released; I’m not sure if a subsequent patch enabled it for everyone) but give it a try, regardless of whether you have Generations or not.

To access it, open up the cheat console (CTRL + SHIFT + C) and type:

TestingCheatsEnabled True

And then type:

MovieMakerCheatsEnabled True

Now, when you Shift-left-click on a Sim, you’ll get the following menu:

Disable Autonomy will make ALL the Sims on the lot do nothing, except what you tell them to do. Sit them all down, and they’ll stay put. THIS is the cheat you need to keep all those little wandering buggers in place!

Turn off Look Ats will stop their heads from moving (you probably want to keep this enabled for most things, as it looks more natural)

Animation lets you play almost any animation on any Sim, from the idles to the conversations, the solo dances (sadly no animations that require two people, so your Sims can’t slow-dance this way unless you switch on some music and tell them to slow dance). You can play them once or play them in a loop.

Remember to shift-left-click the mailbox and set all needs to static if you’re doing a day of shooting, or else you’ll have some Sims starving to death in puddles of pee ;)

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.

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)

Download: SFS | Mega (readme included)

=== 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.

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.

TS3 “cannot change style” glitch: A SOLUTION

I was very happily trying jools-simming’s nice tutorial when the dreaded “cannot change style” occured. Saying that I was extremely frustrated is an understatement, but as I discovered by the usual trial-and-error method, there’s a way to fix it!

Make sure you have Nraas’ Debug Enabler installed.

In Live Mode, click on the not-recolorable counter/island/object and select Nraas > Debug Enabler > Options: [object name].

Then select Object > Reset Textures > This object.

Et voilà, you can now use CAST again and change the style of the object as you wish.

Publishing this because who knows, it could be useful to someone else experiencing the same (annoying) glitch :)
