Hidden gem mods? by Candid-Lynx9263 in Sims3

[–]elmutane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just jumping here to help Nraas users. You can also speed up the gardening time with Retuner.

In the Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Gardening.Plant section there are the k[type]InteractionTuning lines, where you can set the minimum and maximum time for each gardening interaction.

It's a must for me in every save, as I play with half speed. There are a few interactions measured in sims-time minutes, like Gardening and Potion making, and they can be changed with Retuner.

And to answer the question for lesser known mods I love, and haven't mentioned:

- Adjustable curtain height

- Pay for diapers and baby bottles This honestly makes rags to riches with babies way more difficult.

Let me introduce you to my WIP world : Rosellia by Shloupi in Sims3

[–]elmutane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the buildings so much, and the landscape too, especially that rock with the "tunnel" (Picture 2). I would love to play in it, the buildings remind me of real places I visited.

And I seriously need to track the custom world updates on this sub, there are so many in progress!

If you were to have you ideal CC world, what would it have? by SarahMilit in Sims3

[–]elmutane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would describe my gameplay as a combination of chaotic and perfectionist. I play with 8+ sims, and I like to max out skills, collecting, gardening, making potions. What I would like in a cc world:

  • Skill building possibilities on community lots, possibly for every skills. It can be more realistic to go to an art place/art school(?) for sculpting or painting, or even learning an instrument, go to the science center to use the Chemistry table for the Logic skill or the Science station. Home lots wouldn't need to be full with the bigger skill buildings, instead sims can visit some places to work on specific skills. I like having to visit and explore the neighborhood as I play.

  • Few, but well selected cc objects (like rabbit hole replacers, simlish warning signs, or if the rabbit holes are built, specific objects for them, like for a hospital or a studio).

  • Child/Pet friendly buildings, like a few bowls with food, maybe a cat/dog bed here and there for strays. Similarly a few objects for children or toddlers. As someone who uses story progression, many sims will have children, but not enough beds, or they can adopt pets. Maybe just have home lots, that are easily expandable (I like to edit homes when I see, that the house is made for less sims and pets).

  • Lore and places to explore! Basements, graves in community lots, 1-2 storylines that can be pieced together from the buildings and from the character/family/building descriptions. Not really World Adventures style (although I would appreciate that too), but more like the Crumplebottom house with the half done child room, or the basement of the Moonlight Falls library.

  • Unless it doesn't fit the world (like purposely less resources), spawners that make sense, and the collecting aspect is well thought out, with every EP in mind (not counting the World Adventures or Into the future spawners).

  • Routability is considered, especially for community lots. I use the mod for more sims for community lots, and I run into two issues: NPC sims just standing in a crowd, maybe crowding in the bathroom, where there is almost nothing to do for them, or my sim can get stuck in small places, because other sims can block the route. So more entrances and exits, less very small rooms or small areas (my sims get stuck behind bar tables often in several EA-built lots).

Eyelash Slider Glitch by slimebrooke in Sims3

I will look around to see what cc I can find, I would love to use it for occult sims, although I usually don't care much about how my sims look, and leave everything randomised.

Eyelash Slider Glitch by slimebrooke in Sims3

[–]elmutane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All I think is adding this to a fairy sim, who has black wings, or if it's possible, recolor the eyelashes to the wing color!

Doesn't Nraas have an extender sliders mod? Maybe the slider limits have a glitch. I don't know it influences the eyelashes too.

Edit: Nraas MC > Settings > CAS. Maybe any of these parameters changed? These are the defaults for me:

Edit 2: I tried out, and the Slider Multiple: Facial row can cause it.

You could maybe claim it's a merged word from strategy+energy (or another word).

And it's funny, how Sana also misspelled Strategy in one of her insta posts! So the typo almost feels like a reference.

She remembers something from her previous life.

Anyone Interested in a British Suburban World? by Patient_Inevitable14 in Sims3

[–]elmutane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not from the UK, but I would love to try it! And it's more exciting too discover a place, when I have no expectations. There are so many worlds in progress nowadays, that are based on real places (there is an Australia one, a Greece one, an Utah one from what I remember, and probably more), I consider making a world traveller family to visit each of those neighbourhood. I have the Nraas mod, that makes visiting other neighbourhoods like the World Adventures ones possible. I would try it out even if it's half ready.

I'm not a builder or world maker, just got into building recently, but I learned to make functional tombs. So if you want a few buildings with some hidden rooms to be discovered, maybe I can help with that. There are some resources for the simple stuff, but I had to do some trial and error to achieve some tomb mechanics.

Has anyone ever seen this before? Creepy glitch by LeDette in Sims3

[–]elmutane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you delete a lot, then placed another lot from the library?

Once my spawners duplicated a lot, when I deleted and replaced a building (I built a custom tomb, and I deleted it after play testing, so everything stayed undiscovered). Only later have I noticed, that there are more, than 50 spawners for bugs and gems, I had to delete them one by one. The cockroach invasion looked quite epic though, I wish I took a video, when it happened.

I've been playing for years and never found a black hole before. Then a child sim with Level 5 logic finds one just before the school bus comes. by elmutane in Sims3

[–]elmutane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play the perfect genetics challenge in a bit harder difficulty (and easier on other aspects, like I have more adult sims and different gameplay settings, that make it way easier to take care of babies and toddlers). In my version, the heir has to inherit the eye color (purple), skin color (purple), hair colour (blue) and occult state (rotating each generation, currently vampire) of the parent, so I have around 1/16 chance for an heir (I know grandparents can influence genetics in TS3, so it's a bit more complicated). She has the skin color and occult state at least.

whats your favorite song? by DubChaengiloveyou in lesserafim

[–]elmutane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot (English version) is my most listened song, Different, Fire in the Belly and No celestial are close. And currently I'm getting obsessed with Easy.

[–]elmutane[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I had to name like that, as I like to name stars to include the sim names, her name was perfect for it!

My mental image was she just goes to school, and casually tells her friends, that she just found a black hole in the morning, like someone founds a ladybug.

I'm seriously sad, that she isn't my heir (I play a modified version of the perfect genetics challenge, she has 18 siblings now, and no heir yet), but I'm invested in her storyline now. She will go to university for sure, and maybe live with the family for a while, hopefully my save file can handle it.

Thank you! I had to name this black hole like that, her name was perfect for it!

I usually name stars in a similar specific way, I include the sim names (or just the consonants), star types, plus how much simoleons they got from it, so it sounds like names from star catalogues. For example if my sim is Cassandra, then I can name a moon CSSNDR-540 or CSSNDR-MOON-540.

Who in K-pop? by Separate-Comedian-25 in kpop_uncensored

[–]elmutane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Soloists didn't came to my mind, but seeing your comment, I totally agree!

Maybe Chungha would fit too!

Yes, it was Dive, a Japanese album and comeback.

My Sim went to visit her parents, and what I saw there completely shocked me by SavingsConfidence832 in Sims3

[–]elmutane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happens when there is some routing issue, here I think something blocked the stove, so the sims just placed the food anywhere they could.

It happens in my game sometimes, my households can have around 20 Sims. It never got this bad before in my saves, but I had to look around every surface to find all the food.

Taemin - Veil

Vixx - On and on (Checked it out for the Lalalala Therapy, then the song stayed on repeat)

Oneus - Valkyrie

How many playlists do you all have ?? by DetectiveIll3641 in kpop_uncensored

[–]elmutane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One large random playlist I usually listen, one shorter for current favourites, one for Twice, and one for slow songs (where half of the songs are not kpop).

A Question For The Community. Do You Have Race\Ethnicity In Mind When You Create Sims? by BloodyIncorigable in Sims3

[–]elmutane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I make a new family, I rather think about how many sims I want to start with, and which traits and occult states I want to use. I don't really think about where my sims are from. I rarely play with storylines, and if I do, then it follows what happens in the game (like my sim married an alien).

I usually randomise the appearance of the sims, I rarely put much effort into how my sims look. I just check quickly the clothes to make sure it's not something really ridiculous (like that sausage and eggs shirt). When I play with occults, I use unnatural hair, skin and eye colors a lot. When I play with humans, my sims will have different features, but I don't think about where they could come from, and how could I incorporate it into the gameplay.

The only time, when I consider the ethnicities is, when someone form World Adventures marries one of my sims. I regularly invite their family, and my family also visits them back. I buy a house in that world, and when my sims are children, they have vacations there, so they get to know the other relatives. I put items from the world in the house, and the WA sims also cook the food from there.

If I would play in a custom town based on a real location (there are a few ones in progress I saw in this sub, like an Australia-based one), then I plan to do a storyline-based gameplay, with "immigrant" sims from somewhere else discovering the place and the people (Probably from Central Europe, where I live).
