TS3 Simblr - Mostly Inactive due to Crap Internet

[aminovas]

My Sim’s Window Tag

Thank you @treason-and-plot for the tag!

(My internet is awful! So bad! Five attempts over three days to load these photos! I can’t even get my dash to load so I feel like I’m posting blind!)

I do have a couple games going at the moment, although I’m mostly working on CC projects.This is Jules, from my one and only legacy family. She’s taking a break from her life at Uni for spring term and working as a maintenance/handyperson in Point Ouerbacker. It is the off season and she’s been given a room in an vacant holiday cottage. She finds the fancy furnishings terrifying. But the view is great! In fact, it was the major selling point on this gig. She can wake up looking at the cliffs above her favorite surf spot. If she has a couple of hours to spare between jobs, she can get out there for a quick swim. 

If you are reading this and you haven’t done it, consider yourself tagged! If you’ve already done it, you could do it again! I know most of you will have done this already but I suspect our wonderful always-in-CAW creators may not have done it, so I challenge @hydrangeachainsaw and @potato-ballad-sims to get at least a tester sim in game and show us some fabulous views! show us something new!

When I was a teen, my mom replaced the toilet in the bathroom I shared with my sister. Rather than disposing of the old, broken toilet, she turned it into a planter for some of her flowers. I was absolutely mortified at the time (”mom, it’s so tacky!” *stomp stomp stomp bedroom door slams*), but now I think it’s pretty rad. So I made a toilet planter for my simmies, as well as a tub one. Because why the heck not?

These are both basegame compatible. You can plant one seed in the toilet, and three in the tub. All plants seem to work, with the exception of trees. Both are found under Decor–>Plants. The toilet is 50 simoleons, and the tub is 75.

There is an issue with the tub I couldn’t fix. Sims clip into it while planting and tending to the plants. I tried to fix it, but couldn’t seem to figure it out. I hope it isn’t too off-putting for ya’ll. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Before you download, I have a request: please send some support to @sims3hasstoppedworking and her mother, who is ill with cervical cancer. You could do so one of two ways:

Donate what you can here.

Send Ewa and her mother a message of support.

If you can’t donate, please reblog her original post! Every little bit helps. Thank you!

Active TS3 CC Finds

Since Lana CC Finds has updated lesser and lesser TS3 CC, some people seem to have difficulties to find more newly-made TS3 CC. I would like to recommend several TS3 CC Finds that still update almost daily. The more people using them, the more efficient they are. Eventually we might be able to reform a stronger network.

@pis3update (mine)

@nemiga-sims

@katsujiiccfinds

@smfinds

and some less frequently updated but introduce lots of quality CC:

@mspoodleccfinds

@ktccfinds

@kpccfinds (recommended by @oathy)

…among others. 

If you take a closer look at these CC Finds, you’ll see why some of us insist TS3 community is shrinking but not dying. Indeed we’ve lost some greatest minds, but still there are CC creators out there working on new creations or conversions, gameplayers sharing their funny or amazing moments. I do believe it’s more like a lack-of-proper-channel problem. If you find this post helps, reblog it to let more fellow players know!

[mspoodle1]

All my CC is on my blog and at @mspoodleplus. 

My CC finds isn’t extensive but I’ve had it for a long time. I don’t reblog everything. Just what I want to download, use in my game or keep track of for maybe a historical challenge or something like that. I don’t queue anything. If it’s something I want, I reblog it and it could be 1 thing or 10 things at one time. ;)

How to Find Sims3 Blogs

This seems like it’s a difficult thing for some, so here are some tips:

1. Follow a few blogs that reblog or promote other blogs:

~-~*  simblrdirect.tumblr.com/S3D - directory of various creator simblrs for TS3 ~-~*  http://pis3story.tumblr.com - directory of story simblrs for TS3 ~-~*  sims3tutorialhub.tumblr.com - directory of tutorials for TS3 ~-~*  http://sssvitlans.tumblr.com/tagged/s3cc - still the most organized archive of TS3CC I’ve found, even if perhaps not quite as active for TS3 as for TS4. Searching her archive is a great way to find TS3 creators, past and present. ~-~*  sims3decor.tumblr.com - sporadic reblogs of TS3CC ~-~*  http://ninthcirclets3cc.tumblr.com/archive - gothic/dark/lolita etc. TS3CC ~-~*  http://scifits3ccblog.tumblr.com/archive - SciFi/Dystopian etc. TS3CC ~-~*  http://fancifults3cc.tumblr.com/archive - Fantasy/Historical TS3CC ~-~*  http://ktccfinds.tumblr.com - my personal cc side blog

That’s most of the TS3 finds/directory blogs I follow… because I mostly just follow the individual creators these days, but these blogs help me find new creators. Non-creators I mostly find via other blogs I follow - see below.

2. When you download something from a creator off of a CC finds blog… FOLLOW THE CREATOR!

CC finds blogs don’t always re-blog every creation a particular creator releases, and even when they do, it’ll always be slower than simply following the creator themselves.

So go follow your creators, leave some likes on their original posts. It encourages them to continue creating! 

3. Do a tumblr search for the following tags:

~-~* #ts3 #sims3 

Protip: Try different spacings of words in tags or different spellings, ie: ‘#sims 3 #thesims3 #the sims 3′, etc.

4. When a blog you follow posts a WCIF, follow the link…

…even if you’re not interested in that particular item of CC.

I’ve found SO many blogs this way… some active and some not.

5. Take a peek at the notes of posts you particularly like…

…to see who else is leaving likes or comments on their posts.

It’s an excellent way to find fellow simblrs that may have similar tastes to yours.

6. If you find a blog you like that seems inactive… follow it anyways!

I’ve done this a lot and am always delighted when some of those blogs become active again after a while. I’ve gotten to know some awesome simmers this way.

7. Pay attention to the tags on the Simblrs you follow.

Try searching for other blogs that use those same tags. (See step 3.)

[murfeelee]

8. If you know how to create CC, help others learn, too.

It is SO time-consuming creating tutorials, especially comprehensive step-by-step ones that you record a video for, or take screen captures of, etc. But if you have the time, share your methods of creating content, or just post brief pro-tips once in a while, or a directory of the tutorials you’ve used, or link folks to help forums on TSR & MTS where people’s questions can be answered.

Just spread the info, so that more people can at least get started on making CC. Part of the reason why there are less creators is because the ones that know keep their knowledge to themselves, and when they leave, the information they have leaves with them.

9. Get creative! Start a new gameplay theme!

On the off-chance that you’re feeling bored, or you have a cool idea you’re inspired by, start a community challenge or prompt! End-of-the-year national holidays like Halloween or Xmas don’t need to be the only peak times for simmers to get involved. Things like the What’s In Your Bag challenge are so spontaneous and fun – not only did it promote CC, but it also encouraged simmers to share more about their OCs & worldbuilding, tag each other, and get everyone involved. Come up with something everyone can participate in. Let’s bring back Lookbooks, or even the Sims magazines! O_O (I miss Living Sims & SF Magazine).

10. Leave comments on people’s posts!

Whether it’s CC you’re downloading, or a gameplay post you thought was cool, say something! Hitting the Like button is great, but taking the time to leave words of encouragement goes a long way in keeping some simmers motivated to keep posting, and it helps break the ice and build friendships & make connections. Even if you don’t speak the same language, emojis/emoticons are universal. 👍 😍 ❤️ 😂 👌 🔥 💯 etc.

Vintage Prairie Kitsch Set for Sims 3

in support of Ewa @sims3hasstoppedworking​

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please send love to our friend and fellow simblr Ewa! She is alone in caring for her Mum who has terminal cancer, and not getting the aid they should from their health care system. No one should have to go through what they are enduring. A message of kindness, and if you can spare anything, contributions via paypal or this polish site will go a long way to provide badly needed relief, comfort, and dignity. Help us in spreading the word and supporting Ewa! And be sure to check out @ccforsims3hasstoppedworking!

The Download: Blouse and Skirt Separates

All LODs, all morphs except for pregnant for elder.  (If anyone is willing to share a set of medium and low LODs for morphing pregnant elder clothes, I’ll get it made and share. On that note, if there are any issues you spot, let me know and I’ll do what I can when I can!)

Micro Tutorial: Pose Morphs

So, I was recently asked how I did the pregnancy morphs for my pose set, “Posing For Two”.  I’m sure that other, better tutorials have this information, but here is a quick micro tip on how to do it in case you were also wondering.

(Note: This is for Blender.  I have no idea how to do it for Milkshape.)  

(Also Note: This tutorial assumes you already are set up for doing poses and know your way around.)

Down in the CLIPtools menu area, under “S3PY Rig Tools” there is a button labeled ‘Set Morphs’.  Poke that bad boy.

And a little pop-up should come up such as this:

I *believe* the settings are between 0.0 and 1.0 with 0 being “not at all” and 1.0 being the full setting.  So for ‘Pregnant’ 1.0 would be the final stage.  Or at least that is what worked for me.  

One caveat - it is my experience that the morph settings do not persist between sessions.  That is, if you save your file off and come back later, they won’t be pregnant.  You have to re-set the morphs.  No biggie, just something to be aware of.

(And yes, I realize that I have a male sim in my above examples.  I’m lazy and it was the last rig I had opened so it was in my hot links. LOL But hey, in Sims males can get knocked up too.)

Hunt for the Magic Conch Shells - Pt1: Ningyo 

The flesh of a ningyo is believed to grant eternal life and youth to those who eat it…however, it carries with it a danger that most people are not willing to risk. Ningyo can place a powerful curse on humans who try to wound or capture them, and some legends tell of entire towns that were swallowed by earthquakes or tidal waves after a foolish fisherman brought home a ningyo in one of his catches. While their grotesque appearance and supernatural powers make them an intriguing subject, they are best avoided at all costs.

Simlish Retro style Travel Posters: Destination Europe - 20 posters of European countries and cities. 

I made these posters to help raise awareness of Ewa’s (@sims3hasstoppedworking) fundraising for her mum’s cancer which you can read about HERE. Eve has been a mutual of mine on here for a few years and she is also a friend, which is why I am doing this. Just over 8,500 Złoty (PLN) has already been raised, out of a target of 20,000, so you guys have done an amazing job so far! THANK YOU 💜

Whether you like/ download these pictures or not please consider helping out a fellow Simmer as we celebrate the beginning of a new year by supporting Eve- either by donating via her PayPal, re-blogging the post about her mum’s terminal cancer to make people more aware and/or by sending her a message of love and support.

The mesh is base game but the amazingly generous @baufive improved the overlay etc for me to improve the quality significantly and I hope that you will also appreciate the time it took to edit these images and make them Simlish (so please do not use it for your own paintings or convert to Sims 4 without asking permission).

Both package and Sim3Pack formats. I hope you like them.

(lol yes I did just come back from watching Into the Spider-verse, but go watch it, it has some of the best art direction, characterization and general cohesiveness/relatability of any animation or even superhero flick in recent years- even for people who aren’t into those sorts of films).

HAPPY NEW YEAR, ME DEARS!

I have been working on some new Simlish Retro travel posters as my previous set (HERE) was quite well received. This first follow up set (there will be more ;p) uses posters by Harry Rogers for Qantas Airlines because I think they are adorable!

This is a New Year gift but I also made them to help raise awareness of Ewa’s (@sims3hasstoppedworking) fundraising for her mum’s cancer which you can read about HERE. Eve has been a mutual of mine on here for a few years and she is also a friend, which is why I am doing this. Just over 8,000 Złoty (PLN) has already been raised, out of a target of 20,000, so you guys have done an amazing job so far! THANK YOU 💜

                                  🎇🎇🎇 Farolitos 🎇 🎇 🎇

                                “little lanterns” also known as Luminarias

  ❄ ❄ ❄ ❄ Outdoor Holiday Lights for Sims 3 ❄ ❄ ❄ ❄  

whaat? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminaria

They glow at night!

Four items in package or sims3pack, bundled together for shared textures: a single farolitos and shiftable version, and three farolitos in a row with a shiftable version. 

To place on top of fences: with moveobjects on, select the shiftable farolitos and shift-drag them up and down to the approximate correct height. Positions them over the fence, then shift-alt-drag to fine-tune their height. Use the dropper to copy them to place at the same exact height. 

Attention! These lights are dedicated to Ewa, to remind her that her friends across the globe are thinking of her and her Mum. Our friend Ewa @sims3hasstoppedworking is going through a horrific experience at the moment, battling the Polish health care system to eek out just the most basic care for her ailing Mum. It is just appalling what they are going through. Losing a parent is hard enough. Let’s send Ewa some love! Kind messages and notes are appreciated to help her know she is not alone. And for those of use who can spare some change, rejoice! The exchange rate is on our side and small change will go very, very far. It is already making a big difference so that her Mum can have some comfort and dignity, and so they can have more quality time together. Thanks everyone!

Please find more details on their situation and how to help here: http://sims3hasstoppedworking.tumblr.com/post/177699177313/hello-everyone-my-name-is-ewa-im-from-poland

[hyperkaos]

I deleted the hyperkaos blog, it got royally screwed. If I tried to search for it, it was locking up my browser.  It doesn’t show in the listings, they NEVER responded to my request for a review, there’s nothing linking me to this new blog. So if anyone comes looking for me, would you please tell them I’m here. Thanks. I feel like I’m still missing people (actually I know I am) but I mean regulars I talked to. It’s kinda depressing and I don’t need any help.
