Renaming Your CC For A Faster Game

Renaming Your CC for a Faster Game

I saw a post about this over on GOS and I thought that I’d write a little tutorial on doing this, as I’m awful at following anything but the most simple directions and I know that I’m not the only one haha! I take no credit in finding this out, just for writing this in a very simple way haha!

You need: Bulk Rename Utility CC is a huge part of our game and often the undoing of our much loved saves. It’s very easy to accumulate CC, yet we know that it can cause our game to lag. We’re a hardy (and stubborn) bunch in the Sims Community and lag time of up to an hour is not unheard of. A large part of the lag is often down to the game’s inability to read characters and spaces in file names. It’s pretty common to come across a piece of CC that has some sort of symbol in the name; “[]” and “~” are pretty popular. Did you know that the game can only understand underscores (_) and hyphens (-)? Even a space can spell disaster! By removing all other characters and spaces, the game has an easier time understanding and loading our CC. But imagine having to go through several gigabytes of files to fix this problem   This is where the Bulk Rename Utility comes in!! It does the work for us. 1. Download and install the program in the above link. 2. Back up your files (optional but probably a good idea). 3. Load the program and find your CC folder (for your game of choice, this works for TS3 and TS4…and possibly TS2). 4. Select all of the files within that folder. 5. We’re interested in the section with the header “Remove (5)”. 6. Click in the text box marked “Chars” and hit the space bar. This will remove all of the spaces in the file names. 7. Tick the box marked “Sym.” This will remove all symbols. 8. Click “Rename” in the bottom right hand corner. 9. If you have multiple CC sub-folders, repeat for all of them. 10. Play!

Quickie Foods & Snacks

Quickie Foods & Snacks

This was something I made a couple of years ago for a family I was playing that was poor so they were eating cereal most of the time. I have the mod where you have to buy everything to cook or eat anything from the fridge but didn't want to have to buy 10 cereals all the time so I used the idea from Arsil's Food Maker and applied it to a cereal box, then made some granola bars to boot.

Quickie Foods & Snacks

You can purchase them from the grocery store (General Section) as well as in the Buy Mode catalog. You can read the label which will tell you nonsense + how many servings are left. Once it's empty, you'll have to dispose of the box.

Cereal: There are 6 servings in each box. Sugary cereal will give you a sugar rush but it also might give you a toothache. The cereal box objects are from ATS Sandy and I just added my script to it. (Note: When placed in the world for the first time, it may show up as red, you need to go into CAST and just switch presets and the texture will show up.)

Granola/Protein Bars: There are 6 servings in each. Both will give you a bit of hunger increase, though the granola bar more so. The protein bar will give your Sim an hour of Adrenaline Rush which boosts Athletic Skill so it's best to eat before a workout. If you are fatigued, it will remove the fatigue moodlet.

Requirements: CCLoader for the custom food (sugary cereal) and the University EP because the bars are based on the candy bar.

Download here.

Thanks to ATS Sandy for the generous use of her awesome stuff. And Arsil for the original idea and the code snippets I pulled from their mod.

Allotments Mod - Download

Allotments Mod - Download

I made this mod for @desiree-uk! It's being shared as per her suggestion. A big thank you to her and I hope you all enjoy!

Put your community (or residential) gardens to use! Create and rent allotments, push gardening interactions and make a nice profit while you're at it.

Allotments Mod - Download

Place the allotment marker in a gated enclosure, set the sim who will be renting the allotment, and they'll take care of all the plants within their enclosure, plus partake in other specified duties.

Available Duties - Toggle on/off - [visibility subject to lot-type]

Water,

Weed,

Harvest,

Get Fertiliser**,

Fertilise Plants,

Dispose of Dead Plants,

Rake Leaves,

Burn or Dispose Leaves.

Allotments Mod - Download

Gardening Push

As the allotment marker is a meta object, the sim renting the marker may autonomously be pushed to the lot to garden their allotment while inactive.

The marker is also a broadcaster object, so while within the vicinity, the renter will be pushed to complete any outstanding garden activities while in range.

You can also set up dedicated gardening days to push your sim to the lot and prevent your sim from coming to garden during certain seasons.

Payment

Set an owner for the allotment or attach a Bronzo* bank to the marker and make your sim pay to use the space! You can even set up automatic rent payments.

Allotments Mod - Download

Harvesting

Link a harvest box to the allotment marker and all harvested produce will go straight into the box instead of clogging up your sims inventory. You can also sell produce straight from the box!

Allotments Mod - Download

Requirements:

*My social clubs mod and **Ani's compost mod. Without these, the mod will at worst, crash, and at best, not work as intended.

Please read the included documentation for a more comprehensible feature breakdown.

Objects:

A collection file is included for easy access to the objects.

Otherwise: the harvest box is in storage/misc. for $190 and the allotment marker is in outdoors/lawn ornaments for $35.

Thanks:

To @aroundthesims for generously allowing me to use her objects for my mods.

To @anitmb for her composting mod which has helped to enhance this mod.

To douglasveiga from MTS for the gardener service mod which I looked at when my interactions weren't working as intended.

What's going on in the congo rn is one of many many reasons that the right to repair is a VITAL tenant in leftism imo

I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.

[TS3] Scalp Accessory

I come bearing an accessory to hopefully combat hairs with gigantic, open patches of bald head or to use to make a shaved style more full.  There are two flavors: full and sparse.  

Full is right up to nearly the edge of the scalp and is more for full, lengthy hair, that just has a weird scalp thing going on - weird streaks of skin everywhere that one always finds obnoxious.  I was working on one that would extend just slightly past this line to meet scalp makeup that’s floating around CCLand better, but I kind of gave up on it (not sorry).

Sparse is more for hairstyles that have an okay style, but it may look a little funny when you get deeper past the hairline: too little hair where there probably should be at least some.  It can also be used to augment styles where a shaved head is a thing, but you may feel there should be a bit more thickness.

Compatible for males and females, teen through elder.

You might be able to combine both the full and sparse accessories together if you’re desperate for even more coverage, but I didn’t test this possibility out so much and it probably wouldn’t give you the result you think you’d get.
