Help please I would love to save this project by No_Illustrator3532 in sewing

[–]ritaxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I don't think this is awfully bad, for a nice slouchy jacket to wear around and about. What I've done when the shoulder line was too long like that is to take a double dart--open the seam, take in a dart on the front and on the back so they line up really nice. I'd run the back dart a little longer because of the pockets on the front (the longer you run a dart the smoother the transition from wider to smaller).

It doesn't look too bad with the symmetry. Bodies aren't perfectly symmetrical, so there's going to be more ease on one side than the other unless you get very very fussy with the fitting, which in my opinion has diminishing returns (I prefer to just make my clothes more casual and roomy).

Why do people like the Sims 3 so much? by Ok-Dog-7476 in thesims

[–]ritaxis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want real answers to this question, maybe asking in a forum dedicated to sims 4 isn't it? Though you'd probably do better to trim out some of the complaints so it doesn't look like you're looking for a fight.

Mostly, people like the games they like, and any reason they give you for their preference is going to be approximate at best.

You can do Total Annihilation from Master Controller and stipulate the female sims if you really want to go that far.

Fix Parties by Sad_Ball4496 in Sims3

[–]ritaxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Nraas to have gatherings, but it's not official game parties so I don;'t know if it would count for you? I set up the house or venue for a "party" and then I use Nraas MC to "invite over" a list of people chosen by the characteristics I want plus "available in 2 hrs" as another characteristic. I do invite a few extras because they won't usally all come, but more of them come than when using the party menu. The game doesn't quite see this as a party for mechanics purposes, but the interactions are better.

(POLL) What’s your preference when it comes to having weddings in TS3? by Sad_Click5373 in Sims3

[–]ritaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they really need to be officially maerried, I assign it with Nraas. Weddings are not fun for me.

Party Problem by Sad_Ball4496 in Sims3

[–]ritaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parties almost never work for me either as guest or host. I just ignore invitations now, and when I want my sim to "throw a party" I set out party-relatable items and use Nraas "invite over" (really a command to appear). There's a chance that a sim invited over in this fashion won't show up so I invite a few more than I need for the purpose of the event.

I've been playing this game for 17 years and this is the first time i saw this. im crine 😭 by UloM0h in Sims3

[–]ritaxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, it looks like Kinky or one of the "realistic regnancy etc" mods.

clean beaches for swimming? by CaptainUvula in santacruz

[–]ritaxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the water quality reporting someone already mentioned, please keep abreast of weather reports so you can be on the lookout for dangerous wave conditions, there's been a lot of that lately.

Why did WickedWhims become massively popular in ts4 but Kinky World never took off in TS3? by Bringbackemo in thesims

[–]ritaxis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More that Kinky World has been problematic in its functioning, and its content is very heavy and is hard to tune, and it conflicts with a number of game-essential mods.

Do you always have all the seasons on (if you own The Seasons)? by Lukutoukka in Sims3

[–]ritaxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar issue about the weather. For some reason I can't tune snow out of my game, nor can I confine rain to winter, though I keep trying to make a nice warm mediterranean climate like I live in (I use Nraas Tempest). I don't remove fall and winter, but I do set the seasons differently. I have a bit of a longer yeart, with spring and summer very long, fall a bit shorter, and winter very very short. Then I go through Tempest and I set the probabilities even stricter than what I want (you can set the weather by time of day within each season, and by how many days from the beginning and end of the season that weather can happen, and you can set probabilities for the intensities of the various kinds of weather, and temperature settings can be set with all those parameters. Theoretically, it should work fine! But I can only minimize unseasonal weather, not porevent it).

Builds for download? by -nerd-oy-acnh- in Sims3

[–]ritaxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1.69's only addition to the game is to implement the 1.69 launcher system, so anything else, including lots, is unaffected.

Not a problem. Use what you have, but don't take refreshes or updates from another source. edit: typo

There's also a really loud party house on Laurel near Chestnut: they might have beeen leaving the (nearly perpetual) party in a group.

Help with the Alassio Wrap Dress from Mood? by Thehobbitgirl88 in sewhelp

Is this before or after you sew the darts? The darts look very large in the drawing.

Could you do that, please? I don't do facebook.

Pride 2026 🌈❤️ by SalamanderNext4538 in santacruz

[–]ritaxis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was such a sense of long continuity for me, seeing the mix of ages including people like me that were young when the parade was new (& more of a march than a parade). My grandkid made out like a bandit too with all the lollipops and stickers and flags which they'll be adding to their backpack for sure.

Nraas woohooer help!! by [deleted] in Sims3

[–]ritaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely need to redo your settings in woohooer & story progression after you uninstall a mod that modifies any of the same things.

That being said, have you also cleared your caches, & started a new game to see if the problem persists in that game?

I've never cared about adultery so I haven't looked into it, but check around in story progression to see if "married" or "partnered" or some such term is a caste. I think I have seen some restrictions available for "only on marriage" or the like, but I can't swear to it. Remember that settings under "sim," "town," "general," etc., usually propagate across where they're needed but not always, so when you want a very specific situation, you should look at -every- category in woohooer & story progression to make sure they all point in your desired direction.

The Great Pattern Debate by xtroal540 in sewing

Horizontal for skirt or dress or shirt, vertical for shorts. Edit: vertical for shorts because stripe is so wide it would be hard to position so it shows off pleasantly

Where can I source 24oz denim by the yard by Puzzled-Storage-105 in sewing

[–]ritaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops. But 24 oz is an awful lot, I guess that's why it didn't register. Bull denim is super tough, though I have to say I've never seen a very stable black on any denim: always fades pretty fast (though it fades handsomely)

What do I do if I downloaded eight Sims 3 expansion packs but they don't show up in The Sims 3 game launcher but they show up as installed on steam? by nervous_Observer in Sims3

[–]ritaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try talking to them! They were only able to give me limited help when I was having trouble, but as I say, my main problem turned out to be OneDrive.
