[TS3 DOWNLOAD] Crystals and gems

Info: These are recommended downloads for The Sims 3 - I have not made them, I simply wanted to have all the links in one place for myself. Required: Basegame Notes: I have finally finished the crystal store I was building for months and it looks so good!! It's not available for download itself (because it's part of a large mall lot that isn't finished) but since it was quite tricky to find nice crystals to download, I've compiled all the links here. Pretty much all items are purely decorative except the salt lamps.

Btw, there still are a ton more items I haven't used (even more crystals, other tarot cards etc. etc....) so feel free to add your own.

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!

Functioning Printer Mod Update! - Download

To go along with the banking feature in my Social Clubs mod, here's a small update to the printer mod.

The financial extras package now requires my Clubs mod to be installed rather than Ani's Tax Collector mod (though the tax collector version is still available to download for those who prefer that version).

So, when printing financial statements, you'll have the option to choose from all household Bronzo accounts. When paying tax via. the tax slip, you'll be able to choose from all relevant in-world Bronzo accounts to pay the tax into.

The documentation has also been updated to reflect these changes.

Enjoy!

Download: here.

ps: my generic register mod has also been updated to work alongside Bronzo banks.

pps: the social clubs mod has been updated with a couple extra club activities.

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.

TS3 Lighting Tutorial: Backlighting

A cool lighting setup I came up with for photo studio portraits!

Inspired by @rebouks and @tau1tvec TS4 CAS lighting mods ✨

You need:

Buhudain invisible lights (I always use the “wide spot” versions)

Murano photo backdrop

Pose Player & some poses of your choice

Reshade, Gshade, or a photo editor of your choice 

1. Build a closed rectangular room with a roof covering it. Pose your sim and put them in the center. (Use the moveobjects on cheat.)

2. Position the lights as shown in pic 3 and 4. You can adjust the light color and intensity in Live Mode by clicking on them, or Ctrl + Shift + left click on them in Buy Mode.  

3. Recolor the photo backdrop to pitch black, and put it around your sim to make sure the room’s walls are not visible. Use more than 1 if necessary, they seamlessly intersect. Murano’s photo backdrop is also technically a light, so make sure you either turn it off, or play around with the light’s color and intensity to create an effect you like.

4. Find a good angle, turn your Reshade/GShade on, and snap your pic. Adjust the contrast, brightness, exposure, and color settings in a photo editor to make it pop even more. You can download my Reshade preset on my downloads page if you want, it works in Gshade as well. 

What does each light do?

The white-colored lights are there to provide a general brightness to the sim and the room, and to offset the intense colored lights. Without the white lights, the sim would be completely lit in red & magenta. You can turn up the intensity, or add more white lights if more brightness is needed.

The red and magenta-colored lights are there to provide intense color on the side and outline of the sim, for a neon backlit effect.

Tips

- You can play around with each light’s position, intensity and color to create different effects. For example, you can remove some lights on one side of the sim to create more dramatic shadows. Or remove some white lights so that the colored lights are stronger.

- You can make the colored lights monochromatic, or you can pair them in analogous colors (i.e. red and orange, red and magenta), or you can pair them in complementary colors (i.e. red and green, blue and yellow). 

- In Buy mode, hold the Alt key, and click and drag your sim to rotate them in small increments, to make sure the light hits them exactly right.

I hope this tutorial gives you some fun ideas for taking pictures! 💗
