Secret Build Techniques

… a basement with windows

1) First build a foundation with the foundation tool (NOT the basement tool!).

Now make the foundation hollow where you want your basement to be leaving just the outer tile of it.

2) Make sure to switch off auto-roof and to remove all auto roofs.

3. On the ground, use the stair tool to lower the terrain. Hold shift to control the number of stair steps. I usually do it in 3 sets of 4 steps as I cannot count to 12 :P (A regular wall is 16 steps high, a foundation is 4 steps high per default, so you need to lower the terrain 12 steps).

4. Remove the stairs and use the terrain flatten tool to lower the ground in all of your basement. Start at the lowered tile and draw the tool towards the foundation walls. Lower it only to the inner walls of the foundation so that the terrain on the outside is not affected. The foundation will hide the slope.

If you did it correctly, you can now place walls without an error message or need of cfe.

5. Best make your floor plan now and place your stairs, they sometimes are a bit finicky.

6. Now use the foundation tool to remove the parts of the foundation, where you want to have your windows

and replace them with walls

Now you can place whatever windows you want. Just make sure that the green arrows point inwards (in direction of the lowered terrain), or the window might “jump” to adjust to regular terrain height.

You can decorate as you want, you can also place doors instead of windows and make a little “sunk patio” if you want to.

10 default 3D backgrounds for CAS

*my English is very bad*

All credits belong to thatonegreenleaf, I converted and reduced the polygons.

Thank you to the lovely @lalasimmer, for tutorial ♡

You can only have one version.

Conflicts with any other background of the CAS.

Does not replace the stylist's room, pet editor, or plumbot editor.

Some textures that have transparency can mess up the look of the hairstyles a bit, but that's okay.

Hello my sweeties, those who are reading my posts at the end. My friends have often asked me, how did I get such a beautiful CAS? And I was very surprised that many people haven't heard of the lalasimmer tutorial. I realize that many people don't want to deal with a blender, so I thought I'd give you a whole ten backgrounds for every taste. I also carefully reduced polygons in each of them, as well as slightly corrected the size of some textures (no one doubted it). I will be very pleased if you click on the heart and use these backgrounds. Have a nice day!

Do y'all use the Transmogrifier mod? If not, you really should. I consider it one of the top 10 "can't live without" mods in my game.

This is something I talked about on r/sims3 a lot back when I was insane enough to still post there and I was surprised how few people knew about it despite how useful it is.

Basically what it does is let you copy the functionality of one object to another object in two clicks. Turn your cheap bed into an expensive bed at no extra cost to your Sims. Turn your toilet into a bookcase. Turn a rug into a car. Turn your washing machine into a washing machine-shaped sculpture so your Sims will leave it alone. The possibilities are (almost) endless. Seriously! It looks like it's a super complicated mod and I'm sure under the hood it is, but it's so easy to use.

Open buy mode.

Ctrl shift click the object you want to copy the script of.

Click "copy script" and a little box will pop up at the top right to let you know it was successful.

Ctrl shift click the object you want to copy it to.

Click "change script" and the mod will automatically paste the script you just copied into the box.

Click "accept".

That's it! That's all there is to it! Anyone can do this!

But let me show you what you can do with it as a storyteller. 😏

I have the Pose Player sitting right in the middle of this picture. You know what it looks like by now. Little black movie clapboard with white stripes. Says "Pose Player" on it. Do you see it in this shot?

No.

You don't.

Do you know why?

Because it's this random pile of rocks now.

If you don't have this mod, you need to get this mod. I promise you that you will find more uses for it than you ever could have imagined.

Wedding at the Bluffs

Speaking about the wonderful sunsets at the bluffs some days ago, I like to share a lot I build for my story. It's a wedding place at the bluffs; I intigrated it in the original lot. More under the pictures ...

The lot is cc free and offers most of the needed things for a wedding. The little stone bench down in the first picture is my hot spot for romantic sunset pictures as shown before but you could take them nearly everywhere alongside the cliff.
