i feel like im in the sims where it takes 5 hours to make pasta and then u have to immediately go to bed

Hi I'm wondering what you mean when you say you clean your cc? Thank you!

Oh Lordy, this is a long one but I will try to get it all in:

General points:

Once I download CC I rename it using ReNamer to remove any special sighs like &/%([ etc, as reading those can slow down the game

Then I will give each object a code before it like “Obj_kid_” or “CAS_top_af” so I know what it is

I don’t rename the actual file name, cause if I redownload it forgetting I already have it, then if it keeps the file name I will realize its a duplicate

Then I run all my new CC through s3rc to compress it

Then it goes in a “test” folder under mods first to make sure its not corrupt

If its okay, a copy goes into a Backup folder, where like the codes I have a file for everything, so CAS>Hair>AF, Build>Walls etc. This means I always know where to find my CC

Then I put it into CC Magic where again I have the same folder set-up. I NEVER manually merge, its a pain and you cannot undo it.

I NEVERRRRRRRRR install sims3packs, I always convert to .package using s3ce

Specific Points:

Patterns: I convert them to packages then fix them following this tutorial

Houses: I convert them to packages using s3ce, then I usually use dashboard to find the lot file and put that into my Library Folder, and IF (usually not the case) I want the CC from the houses I may look through the other package files. Usually I don’t as I will get a million duplicates, shit loads of clutter. Installing a house as sims3pack can mean up to 600 files installed! And if you install 2 houses you probably have like 200 duplicate files that are in both. Again, NEVER install sims3packs!

Clothing/Accesories: Now often creators don’t know about this method of keeping their file sizes down, so I open each bit of clothing in s3pe, delete ALL duplicate images. This will mess it up, so I then open them in TSRW, make sure to replace the missing images using “Browse” while also deleting any presets I don’t want or any stencils I dislike. This usually likes halves the file size! I will also make sure it is in all the categories I want and not for any silly categories or valid for random.

AF Clothes: So I made my own preg morph (EA’s bump is too small) so in addition to the above I actually remorph all my AF clothes to have a bigger bump ;)

Hair: Again, just check for correct categories

Makeup: I sort my makeup, so all nosemasks go into Eyeliner, all eyebags go into Eyeshadow, all babyhairs go into Lipstick. Then, as creators often forget, I enable makeup for teens and elders too. For Blush, I also enable it for toddlers and kids.

Contacts: I enable them for kids and toddlers if creators have forgotten

Poses: I have a special folder for poses, and if they are not poselist enabled I will save the preview picture online and rename it to the pose code, so I have a sorted folder with photos of all my poses

Skins: Each skin is opened in Skininator and given my ramps and a special icon with the name of the skin (I hate berry ramps and don’t need 5 ramps per skin). In this way my skin panel is very organized. In addition, I use “COMPACT SAVE” in skiniator. I dunno why creators don’t but it drastically reduced the file size. I saved 3GB of CC just by resaving my skins….

Objects: Just make sure they are categorized the way I want. I also remove half the stuff from “Misc Decor” and stick it somewhere else. Aka, pillows/blankets go into “sculpture” for me and are also sorted into “beds” if they are for beds.

My mods folder used to be a mess, with merged packages, duplicates and a lot of CC I didn’t use. It had 36GB. Now I am down to 10GB literally just by cleaning my CC. I lost 6GB alone just by removing duplicate _IMG files and compressing my CC and skins….

Obviously most people don’t have the patience to do all the above, but hey, I load my game fully in super speed, I don’t have any lag whatsoever and in build/buy mode my categories load faster cause I don’t have loads of CC I don’t need.

Oh yeah, my FAQ page also tells you ways to get your game to run faster ;)

Hope this helps you Nonny!

letting israel compete in eurovision, and then giving them 323 votes from the fucking public is a disgrace, they can no longer market this shit as non-political and i hope it burns in actual dogshit hell

Sludge Be Gone! Toddler Food and Snacks

(Update: I forgot to include one of the files in the Objects file. It's just a little piece of food that toddlers pick up when eating snacks. If you downloaded both files already, you don't need to redownload anything, just download the file and add to your game.)

They literally call the baby food "sludge" in the game files. EA really did TS3 toddlers dirty.

This was actually originally part of my Quickie Food and Snacks mod and I abandoned it (this seems to be a theme with me). But then I came back to it after TS4 Growing Together came out. I still haven't played that game but I know there's a preference/taste system in the game for baby food, which is really cool!

So this mod adds two interactions to the high chair to feed toddlers meals or snacks. There are 11 meals and 5 snacks. Similar to Growing Together, toddlers will love, like or hate certain foods. This preference is based on their favorite food (see more after the cut).

The foods work somewhat similar to recipes in that they require ingredients to be available. However, you only need to have at least 1 ingredient. Whatever ingredients you have will be used for the meal/snack. The icon images will tell you which 3 ingredients are required.

Teens+ can serve toddlers and they will stay and watch to make sure the toddler eats like a good little girl/boy.

There was a second complementary mod to close out this little series that would allow toddlers to eat their foods and snacks on their own on little tables but I probably won't have the time to finish testing it before I go on my summer holidays so I'll release it sometime end of next month when I'm back.

Credit/thanks: The food tray and bowl is from @aroundthesims. All other assets are from EA (TS3 and TS4). Icons are from Freepik.

Enjoy! I'll be totally offline starting 1 July for about 2 weeks so do let me know before then if you run into any issues!

More info and details on features after the cut

Meal/Snack recipes: Each meal or snack requires 1-3 ingredients (either in your fridge or personal inventory) to be available. Again, you only NEED 1 of 3. Some of the ingredients are from the Store or cc (Icemunmun's Baker's Basket or Hot Chili) but if you don't have it, the game will just ignore it. If you have none, it won't be available.

Food categories/preferences: Preferences are based on the toddler's favorite food and along 4 categories: Sweet, Savory, Veggie and Cheese. So based on what their favorite food is, you can tell what their food preference category is. If you change the toddler's favorite food after playing with the mod, it will adjust to their new tastes BUT will keep whatever food they liked or hated before.

Category Preferences:

Sweet hates Veggie

Veggie hates Sweet AND Savory

Savory hates Sweet

Cheese is chill and can give or take anything

Here is the detailed breakdown below (if you want to be surprised and figure it out for yourself in the game, you can stop reading here):

SW - Sweet, SV - Savory, VG - Veggie, CH - Cheese Store - TS3 Store BB - Icemunmun’s Baker’s Basket HC - Icemunmun’s Hot Chili

Snacks: Trail Mix (SW) - Banana, Walnut (BB), Pecan (Store) Cheese Crackers (CH) - Cheese Apple Slices w. Almond Butter (SW, CH) - Apple, Cheese, Almond (BB) Cucumber Tuna Bites (SV) - Cucumber (Store), Tuna, Tomato Pita Chips w. Carrot Hummus (VG) - Chickpea (HC), Carrot, Lemon

Meals: Chickpea Salad (VG) - Chickpea (HC), Carrot, Watermelon PBJ Sandwich (SW) - Strawberry (Store), Almond (BB)  Pancakes and Sausage (SW) - Any fruit, Sausage links Chicken Nuggets (SV) - Chicken, Carrot, Blueberry (Store) Fishsticks (SV) - Any fish, Potato, Carrot  Meatballs w. Yogurt Sauce (SV) - Patty, Cucumber (Store), Tomato Mushroom Omelet (VG) - Egg, White Cap mushroom, Onion Fried Plantains (SW) - Banana (I considered making a custom plantain ingredient but too lazy), Tomato, Onion Falafel w. Yogurt Sauce (VG) - Chickpea (VC), Cucumber (Store), Tomato Cheese Ravioli (CH) - Cheese, Tomato, Strawberry (Store) Mac and Cheese (CH) - Cheese

So for example, the toddler in the photos, Duncan. His favorite food is Fried Peanut Butter Banana Sandwich (oh, America) which is in the Sweet category. So I know he will eat any of the sweet category foods. He tossed the mushroom omelet when I served it to him but he likes mac and cheese.

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.
