BCBS: Yeah if your surgery takes longer than our admin staff with no medical training thinks it should, you have to pay out of pocket for the anesthesia.

UHC CEO: [assassinated in the street]

BCBS: ... You know we were just joking about that anesthesia thing ha ha we would never. We love keeping our brains inside customers happy.

Tree Default Replacement 🌳

I have something a little bit different for you all today! As much as I love the gardening skill in the The Sims 3, I’ve always disliked how round the fruit trees are. In my opinion, the fruit trees (a.k.a. ambrosial trees) from The Sims 2: Seasons look much more realistic, so I converted the mesh and made a default replacement to bring them into the Sims 3! This project would not have been possible without Lyralei’s Default Replacement Tutorial. 

There aren’t any growth states between planted and mature, but there are proper textures for Fall, Winter, Wilted, Dead, and the Money Tree. The mesh itself has 1794 Vertices and 1903 Faces.

Place this package file in your Mods -> Overrides folder.

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 :)

Sims 3  Standalone Tub & Sauna | Mod the Sims

I gave a hand to the Great Arsil to separate the meshes of the tub and the sauna, and he did all the hard job of coding. Read more and download @ MTS!

(expect I mesh something new on this soon or later! ;))

Nexus Mods :: The Sims 3

SimPanel

Adds and UI panel to manipulate sims

A custom UI Panel mod by Battery at Nexusmods! (I can't believe I missed this!😮) Battery mod notes:

If you used the first version of this mod note that the activation has moved to control + right click. This mod adds a UI panel to the game which allows you to change sims buffs motives and interactions. If you are familiar with Nraas MasterController you can think of this mod as an condensation of some small part of its features.

You can bring up the panel by pressing and holding the control key and right clicking on a sim in Live Mode.

The SimPanel can be kept up during gameplay allowing to access two sims data at a time. Download from Nexusmods (needs registration) Other mods by Battery including: Recipe Editor Quick Recolour How Old Are You

Hello Simmers, the moment is finally here. This is the first official release of my The Sims (2000) to Sims 3 world.

Revisit all lots and neighborhoods from The Sims base game, Hot Date, Unleashed and Superstar in an open-world experience in the Sims 3!

If you enjoy my creations, please consider helping me save for a new laptop on Ko-fi ❤️

Let’s get to the good part. You can download this Sims 3 world here. Just double-click the file and the Sims 3 launcher will open that will allow you to install it.

To build this world I used all Expansion packs except for Into The Future. Stuff pack wise I only used High End Loft Stuff and Town Life Stuff.

You’ll find that by default this world is not populated, that is because the Sims 3 Create A World tool (CAW) does not support adding households. So to get a fully populated Sims 1 world, we need to do a little workaround. There are 2 options:

You can download all of the households here and place them into their houses in Edit World mode in the Sims 3. Just place these .package files in your Sims 3/library folder.

Install the populated save file. Just unzip and place these in your sims 3/saves folder.

I would really like to hear it if you run into an issues with the world file, so that I can fix them! Let's be in touch 😉

Follow me to be the first to download the Complete version of the Sims 1 to Sims 3 world in the future, which will also include all lots from The Sims Vacation and Makin’ Magic expansion packs!

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me throughout this project, it really means a lot to me! ❤️

I have one last note for people have downloaded an early progress version of this world. If you did and are using it for a save file you want to continue playing in, please beware that by installing this world it will overwrite older versions of it and so your save file could be lost.
