Just saw a post regarding how to use pan baidu to download this skin collection which contains 32 skins by Ephemera. I have no idea that ppl are looking for ways to download from pan baidu or I’ll help out sooner. If anyone has difficulties to deal with Chinese content, just msg me. I’m glad to save you some trouble.
Besides, there’s some risk to download any cc from baidu, so please make sure there’s no virus in the zip before you open it. Since the original creator allows re-directing links (the baidu link is not stable), I uploaded the zip on SFS instead.
Ephemera‘s TOU:
re-direct the link O
re-edit the cc X
welcome to finnington! famed for its nectar, its music scene, and a rich local history of things catching fire, blowing up, or singing when they shouldn't. half the wharf burned down once, but it's been rebuilt better than ever! the waterfall's alleged madness-inducing melody remains unconfirmed, and ever since a certain scientist's experiment leveled the old town, there's been a tree in the square that nobody wants to talk about. sure, one mayor held office for a suspiciously long time, but that's all behind us now. new residents arrive every day, chasing their dreams. there's never been a better time to move in!
this is a save file for armiel's beautiful finnington, which you can download here.
my version of finnington comes populated with every townie having their unique skills, jobs and relationships based on their personalities. there is also a little tomb puzzle that requires exploring the town a bit.
download information
map size: medium
populated?: yes
required expansion packs and stuff packs:
all expansion packs are required. this is a save file, not a world file, so the game won't open it if you're missing any EPs.
no stuff packs are required. (i own outdoor living, high-end loft, fast lane, town life and master suite stuff, but the save should open fine without them.)
included cc:
awesims’s cornices
jynx’s rabbithole rugs
gosik & inge’s half landing cottage stairs
not included cc:
horusmenhosetix’s beetle eye contacts
pixelswirl’s orchard skin blend defaults
these are for the townies, but the save works fine without them, so they can be safely skipped.
download: finnington xoelands save file
please read the instructions very carefully as it might not work if you don’t!
this is a save file, so you'll need armiel's finnington world installed first. download it here. if you skip this step, the save file won’t work in your game.
once you download and unzip "finnington_xoelands", you'll see "Finnington_xoelands.sims3" and a "cc" folder inside
copy "Finnington_xoelands.sims3" to: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves
everything in the cc folder goes to: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages
i've been playtesting this save for a while. my game never lags unless i have the wild horse issue (explained under the cut). some slowness in the first few in-game hours of the day is normal, since that's when the game assigns NPCs and such. it usually clears up around the time the university mascot shows up at your door.
more information and pictures under the cut!
if you want to use this version of finnington in a pre-existing save file (for example in your legacy) with nraas traveler mod, simply follow these steps:
open the "Finnington_xoelands.sims3" folder and copy "Finnington_0x00000000.nhd"
go to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves and open the .sims3 folder of the save you're currently playing
paste "Finnington_0x00000000.nhd" inside that folder (back up your save first, just in case!)
next time you’re going to travel somewhere in the game with the traveler mod, you should be able to visit this version of finnington!
recommended mods:
nraas master controller
there’s not much to say about this one. i usually reset the town every 2-3 sim weeks for smoother gameplay.
nraas register
i highly suggest preventing the game from spawning any stray/wild animals or tourists:
city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> register -> animal control -> set everything to 0.
city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> register -> tourists -> allow tourists -> false
nraas go here
it’s better to disable boat routing all together just in case.
city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> go here -> allow boat routing -> false
additional entry and exit routing slots
so your sims don't get stuck in front of the school building.
known issues and fixes
1- carpools and school buses can't reach the outer ring of old town finnington. this is a routing issue i can't fix without the caw file, but there's an easy workaround: nraas traffic makes sims take taxis instead, and taxis can route there.
to set it up, go to city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> traffic -> routing and set the last two options to true.
to stop the game from spawning tons of empty taxis, also set city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> traffic -> traffic delta to -1000 or -2000.
2- even with nraas register's animal control set to 0, the game still manages to spawn a wild horse from time to time. whenever my game starts lagging or stuttering, this one wild horse is always the culprit. luckily it's an easy fix:
go to city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> master controller -> sim -> focus -> species -> horse
from there you can decide what to do with it. i usually go with force kill -> old age
that should be all. enjoy! and let me know if there're any problems.
BEFORE DOWNLOADING - KNOWN ISSUE
Bunk bed mattress doesn't require Generations EP. It's shiftable up and down (sims and pets will float while going to use it).
