Hi bunnii! How do you get your text to go around your sims like that? It like curves if that makes sense lol. Love your messy legacy already!!

i got you boo! tutorial is down below.

once again, i literally googled how to make text curve in photoshop and followed the directions. so there might be an easier way to do this.

okay so there are actually two different ways to do this but I am assuming you mean the way where I create a path so this tutorial is going to focus on that.

step 1: you're going to want to make sure you have the curvature pen selected and that it's in the 'path' mode.

if you don't see the curvature pen then just right click the pen tool and select it!

step two: draw the curves you want by clicking the path and that's where your text will be. make sure your curves aren't too deep because the text can get wonky

if you want to adjust your line you can click and hold on your anchor points (the dots) and adjust them as needed. You can also delete them by right clicking on the dot and selecting delete anchor point.

step three: select your text tool and hover on your like till you see the icon change then click

now you see that dot after the L? I'm going to click and drag (while pressing the CTRL button) that dot down the line so I have more space! it should look like this:

now you can adjust and type what you want!

Skylines Legacy Challenge for The Sims 3

Hello! I decided to convert this legacy challenge onto ts3! Since i already put in the work, why not share it? Oryginal Skylines Legacy Challenge for Sims 4 by @occisims As it is, Sims 3 is quite different from Sims 4, so I had to change some parts of this legacy challenge more than the others. If you play with a lot of mods (as do I) some parts probably could’ve stayed the same, but including mods while converting is quite tedious. I still did in some places, but this is mostly vanilla game compatible. All packs – maybe without Into the Future – and most, if not all, Store content is needed, but it mostly comes down to worlds, so you can switch that around to your liking. If your game does not like when your Sims constantly move around, you could probably play this legacy with less traveling, just do what’s right for you. I have just started playing it myself, so most of it is not playtested, so if you see something is off – my bad. 

Also, just your regular AO3esque reminder – although I am fluent in English, it is not my first language, nor is it the language I play The Sims in, so I’m sorry for any mistakes that may appear. 

Of course, the graphics, 99% of the descriptions and the idea belongs to the original creator – Occi.

I hope you enjoy this legacy, 

Lidia, @catplayingsims.

Ps. Pleaseeee tag me if you share your playthrough, I would love to see it.

hi!

Do you have any advice for getting started with sims 3 again? I've played it a lot growing up, also with mods. Now that I'm almost 30 (and tired of the sims 4...) I'm craving for the nostalgic feeling playing ts3! But I'm a bit overwhelmed where to start and how to set the game up again. I don't want to feel "bored" of it because of the cas issues (it just takes a loooot of patience because it's so slow)

I would appreciate any type of advice! Must have mods, where to find good cc etc :-)

hello! happy to hear you're trying out ts3 again˙ ᵕ˙

it's a fun game with lots to do as long as it's optimized!

there are a lot of good guides out there already so i'll just share what i personally have and use along with a few recs!

--------------------------graphics & optimization---------------------------

here's a great guide by @/sim-novels to get you started: how to install the sims 3 and make it run smooth

the performance boost patch collection by @/sonja92yu helps speed up save and loading times while reducing memory usage and in game crashes (at least, in my experience)

i edited my graphic rules based on this tutorial by @/gruesim

my nvidia control panel settings, a combination of sims3tutorialhub's and my own:

-------------------------------cc management-------------------------------

there are plenty of mod managers out there but i personally use and recommend granthes' cc magic out of all of them for the sole reason that it really does an excellent job organizing and merging cc without having to do it manually, especially if you like to download and remove cc regularly or have multiple saves. here is a tutorial by gruesim!

--------------------------------camera mods---------------------------------

be sure to download the no drift freecam mod by akiea guinea and brntwaffles' edit if you don't want to end up with motion sickness like me

@/simbouquet's tab camera tweaks get rid of those ui + headline effect annoyances!

----------------------------------cas mods------------------------------------

@/lazyduchess' smooth patch is already integrated in s3ss (see graphics & optimization) and having that speeds up cas significantly and loads patterns quickly (again, personal experience)

if cas is still slow, i recommend changing the ff settings in master controller:

show in compact form: accessories - false > true

show in compact form: clothing - false > true

cmar's xcas increases the number of facial and body sliders - though i already use nraas master controller for this; i use xcas for the expanded skintone panel and naked outfit

custom sliders - there's a looot out there. i'll just link my resources page which has links to mostly everything i use

face presets help you create some pretty sims! recs: @/kwimii999's and @/glossii's

this eyelash terminator by slamyy is a lifesaver. removes the hideous ea lashes for good

----------------------------------ui mods-------------------------------------

i use this ui by @/marinaan based on @/cowplantcartel's cloud ui!

dark mode by @/simstate is also a good alternative!

i also use sim sans font replacement by @/ohrudi

* these are optional! i just thought they were worth mentioning.

----------------------------environment mods-------------------------------

@/potato-ballad-sims' clear & bright is my current lighting mod. in the past i used: uranesia by @/nilxis and perfect day by brntwaffles. @/brntwaffles has a long list of gorgeous lighting mods too!

this is a good resource for comparisons of other really nice lighting mods out there to help you choose.

i use simsi45's improved environmental shadows (dynamic) and more light coming through windows by blyss

@/asabinsims' project renaissance makes a huge difference in plant and tree textures!

i use wasset's better sun and better rainbow from this environment pack and lyralei's snow but better textures!

for clouds i use @/linnlavendel's dishonored clouds, for night sky i use vaddish's twinkling stars. before i used brntwaffles' skyrim star field texture replacement

------------------------------gameplay mods---------------------------------

tfm mods (registration required) from bluegenjutsu and twoftmama - super helpful! the routing in ts3 is just awful. faves: slow motive decay, no route fail and foot tapping, route fix, no autonomous stereo, no autonomous streaking, no autonomous skinny dipping, no autonomous computer games and chat

@/ohrudi's less space required fixes pretty much a need for the same reasons above!

i also turn off autonomous actions in nraas retuner > settings > general > object/tunable xml

@/simsarahsarah shared their very useful nraas settings and i've copied some of them to my own!

phantom99's retuned ea story progression - i used to use nraas' story progression but it lagged the hell out of my game so i switched to this and it's been great so far!

@/thesweetsimmer111's mods are my absolute must-haves and really enhance gameplay! (i have all)

@/twinsimming's mods - faves: growing pains, acne and skincare, yoga mod

@/olomaya mods faves: toddler bed, more play playmat, get pumped, snowflake day activities

kapaer's no stretch children can lets kiddos do all sorts of tasks without the horrifying glitching

phantom99's fix for the pigtail glitch when sims age up

-----------------------------build & buy mods--------------------------------

i simply cannot build without @/lazyduchess' catalog search mod

also subtle build grid by alverdine because again, i'm blind af

hystericalparoxysm's no build sparkles

velocitygrass' remove stencils and add any lot size

@/nausallien's ultimate object overhaul recategorizes the object catalog - super useful!

----------------------------------worlds---------------------------------------

@/mercury101 put together a comprehensive list of worlds!

----------------------------------cc recs---------------------------------------

note there are tons of cc creators and converters out there, you'd just have to search yourself to find what suits your preference. these are just what i like and use.

Sooo here it is - my first publicly shared skinblend! I thought it will take more time to finish, but here we go. The process was tedious, as I edited seperately every age and gender as well as color. Yes, that *should* mean no more ugly, blocky textures on dark skinned sims! Their skin is a compeltely different face and body, not just the light version made darker. I'm happy with the result overall, but as always, it's not perfect. You should not worry about seams where the head, scalp and body meets. However, there can be some imperfections in bodies theirself. Hopefully nothing that could make your eyes bleed, but yeah, be aware. You can see the age stages of black female, white female, black male and white male. Of course there are other colors in between and they look good as well, I just wanted to show you the brightest and the darkest ones. You can also see how newborns look like:

This skin comes in few default versions and two non default versions. Here are the options:

default skin with 2k faces and 4k bodies

default skin with 2k faces and 2k bodies (this is the one that I use)

default skin with 1k faces and 2k bodies

default skin with 1k faces and 1k bodies

non default skin with 2k faces and 4k bodies

non default skin with 2k faces and 2k bodies

Here is how the non default skin looks like in the skintone panel:

DEFAULT 2K Faces 4K Bodies: SFS | PATREON

DEFUALT 2k Faces 2k Bodies: SFS | PATREON

DEFUALT 1k Faces 2k Bodies: SFS | PATREON

DEFAULT 1k Faces 1k Bodies: SFS | PATREON

NONDEFUALT 2k Faces 4k Bodies: SFS | PATREON

NONDEFUALT 2k Faces 2k Bodies: SFS | PATREON

@imamiii @kurasoberina @chinsims @annoyinglydarkblaze @servospawn for their wonderful skins; @i-like-teh-sims @kurasoberina @neiuro for their tones ramps that I used on the non default versions

Go crazy with this one. Use it as a base, share your skinblend with us or don't and keep it to yorself! Use parts of this skin, whatever. I just ask you not to reupload these files and please, don't claim these very skinblend as your own, as I really spent some time on it and probably worsened my eyesight too xD

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.

LIKE NIGHT AND DAY: A TS3 LEGACY CHALLENGE

Hello y’all! I am back with a different sort of legacy challenge compared to my usual nostalgic-ish challenges. This legacy is eight generations, each based upon a specific time of day, from midnight to nighttime. I tried to add both good and bad traits to the sims for some unique and interesting gameplay. I’ve also added sims badges that are entirely optional to complete for each gen (I just like collecting badges myself lol). Each generation has a unique color palette that you can follow if you want. The google doc even has images of the palettes for visualization. I highly recommend checking out the google doc for better formatting on desktop, too. You'll need most EPs (except maybe Into the Future). Store content is referenced, but none of it is necessary. If you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to reach out. Hope y’all enjoy this challenge!

The Joy of Life Challenge : Sims 3 version - update.

Hello hellooooo! I rewrote and reworked the JOL challenge written by simlune for the sims 3 some years ago, but the original document was deleted and disappeared off the internet, so I went back to an older version of the document and again reworked the challenge!

As of right now, there are twenty five generations to play through and I've edited some of the rules, I have backups too should the document disappear again lol.

You can find the updated rules here and the original post I made here.

Thank you for playing my version and credits to simlune.

Happy simming 𖢻

Love, Rowan.

THE LUNAR LEGACY CHALLENGE ☾ ⋆*

this is an 8-generation legacy challenge for the sims 3 based on a handful of interesting facts about a handful of moons in our solar system! (created by yours truly, confrighten)

edit: you can access a tracker i created in google docs here.

☾ things to note:

this challenge was made with all expansion packs in mind.

normal lifespan is recommended, but if you prefer something different, go for it!

there are no world requirements for this challenge, so you can live wherever you’d like.

you are not required to follow standard legacy rules (i.e. 64x64 lot, $1800 starting, etc.), but feel free to do so for an extra challenge!

i will be playing this challenge on twitch! you can find my channel here.

if you try this challenge for yourself, PLEASE use #ts3lunarlegacy so i can see! if you're not into posting, feel free to send me updates directly, or join my discord here.

☾ rules:

you must complete your sim's lifetime wish, even the player's choice ones!

NO money cheats!

aging must be turned on, regardless of the lifespan you choose.

HAVE FUN WITH IT!

keep reading for the generational rules ↓ ✧

☾ generation 1 - THE moon

fact(s): earth’s moon, otherwise known simply as “the moon,” was the first moon in our solar system to be discovered! inquiry. analysis. discovery! your mind is ablaze with the possibilities of the universe, so you dedicate your life to science. you keep your circle small, but your bonds are unyielding. you’re a pioneer in every sense, equipped with the brains and heart of a legacy founder.

traits: loner, genius, nurturing, lucky, night owl

lifetime wish: scientific specialist

tasks:

reach level 10 of the science career.

master the science skill.

master the logic skill.

complete the “celestial explorer” logic skill challenge.

become a partner and eventually buy out the science facility.

have a best friend.

→ remain best friends until one of you dies.

have a “perfect marriage,” no cheating and no divorce.

have as many children as you wish!

✧

☾ generation 2 - europa (yer・oh・puh)

fact(s): europa is the fourth largest of jupiter’s 95 moons and holds twice as much water as earth’s global ocean beneath its icy surface! after a lifetime of success, your parent has passed the torch to you. you’re brimming with potential, but the added pressure of comparison has made you a (paranoid) perfectionist. you play top dog with your coworkers, but outside of work, your only friends are your kids, whom you love more than anything. 

traits: shy, family-oriented, neurotic, schmoozer, perfectionist

lifetime wish: ceo of a mega corporation

tasks:

reach level 10 of the business career.

befriend all of your coworkers.

master the painting skill.

get married as a young adult.

have at least 3 children.

→ no matter how many children you have, they must all be born before the heir becomes an adult.

become best friends with all of your children.

enroll all children and teens in at least 1 after school activity.

never retire.

✧

☾ generation 3 - enceladus (en・seh・luh・duhs)

fact(s): unlike europa, enceladus’ ocean is not wholly contained beneath its surface. in fact, this celestial body sprays water into space! you let everything out - the good, the bad, and the ugly. as a child, you were overindulged, made to want for nothing by your doting parents. so now, as an adult, you overshare, overspend, and overstep - completely oblivious to the world around you. you’ve got a lot to give… but also a lot to learn. not everyone grew up like you, and your actions have consequences.

traits: hopeless romantic, over-emotional, good, inappropriate, slob

lifetime wish: player's choice!

tasks:

have 3 friends as a child.

→ become disliked by all 3 as a teenager.

→ rekindle your friendship with 1 of them as a young adult.

never get a job (not even a self-employed career).

have at least 3 failed relationships, beginning as a teen.

→ these can be with boyfriends/girlfriends and/or spouses.

→ you can get married at any point in this generation, but you don't have to.

master 2 instruments of your choice.

complete at least 1 skill challenge for each instrument.

donate $250 simoleons to charity every week, beginning in young adulthood.

→ if you have seasons, donate $1000 simoleons on snowflake day. you always feel extra generous around the holidays. 

hire a maid after your parents die.

have 2 kids.

neglect the youngest child.

→ they will be the heir of generation 4.

✧

☾ generation 4 - charon (keh・ruhn)

fact(s): named after the ferryman of the dead in greek mythology, charon is the largest of pluto’s five moons, weighing in at over half the size of its parent body! in fact, because charon and pluto are so similar in size, they are often referred to as a “double dwarf planet system.” let’s face it: luck has never been on your side. your parent's negligence taught you to be resourceful from a young age, but as you’ve grown, their continued disinterest has made you bitter. thankfully, you have your older sibling. they just get you, and though you’ve often lived in their shadow, they have never left you behind. at least, not until the accident...

there are a few specific rules for this generation:

you may not have any friends outside of your sibling as a child/teen.

you can have a romantic partner at any point, but you may not get married until you have resurrected your sibling.

traits: unlucky, green thumb, sailor, gatherer, grumpy

lifetime wish: renaissance sim

tasks:

have a strained relationship with the previous heir.

→ what kind of relationship you have with your other parent is up to you!

become life-long, best friends with your sibling.

→ share a room through your childhood and teenage years

→ group up and go out with your sibling at least once a week.

have your sibling die in a mysterious accident when you are a young adult.

→ you can do this however you’d like (including mods)! do whatever works best for your storyline.

dedicate your life to creating ambrosia, and bring your sibling back to life.

master the cooking, gardening, and fishing skills.

have at least 2 children.

own a sailboat.

✧

☾ generation 5 - callisto

fact(s): callisto is the most heavily cratered object in our solar system and the darkest of jupiter’s 4 galilean moons. well, it’s safe to say that seeing your relative rise from the dead had a profound impact on your developing mind. you’ve become enthralled by the supernatural but remain troubled by the fluidity of death. so, while fighting the urge to contemplate life’s futility, you let yourself be consumed by your studies - even to the point of self-transformation.

traits: brooding, supernatural fan, bookworm, brave, easily impressed

lifetime wish: professional author

tasks:

reach level 5 of the journalism career.

quit your job, and join the self-employed writer career.

write horror, mystery, and poetry novels exclusively.

master the writing and alchemy skills.

visit a supernatural hangout lot every saturday night.

marry a supernatural sim.

have at least 1 child.

become a supernatural of your choice using a potion that you have crafted!

✧

☾ generation 6 - io (eye・oh)

fact(s): io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system! though you’ve inherited your parent’s passion, you’ve never understood how they could devote their life to one thing, or anything for that matter. to you, life is too short to settle. you crave the adrenaline that comes with ruining your own life. whether it’s in relationships, careers, or hobbies, you just can’t seem to sit still. you’re not a bad person; you just make really, really bad choices.

traits: hot-headed, commitment issues, flirty, athletic, daredevil

lifetime wish: heartbreaker 

tasks:

begin your romantic endeavors as a teen.

reach level 6 of the firefighter profession.

have a blowup fight with a coworker and quit on the spot.

get married as a young adult.

have an affair, and get divorced.

→ if you have more than one child, you can kick your spouse out with a couple of them, but you must keep at least 1.

break up another sim’s relationship and then marry them.

have at least 1 child from each of your marriages.

reach (at least) level 5 in 4 skills of your choice.

have held 3 different jobs over the course of your life (including firefighting).

have at least 3 enemies.

own a motorcycle.

✧

☾ generation 7 - ganymede (gan・nuh・meed)

fact(s): ganymede is the only known moon to have its own magnetic field! life is all about appearances! and because of your parent’s reputation, you’ve got a lot of cleaning up to do. so, you land a job in politics and decide to dedicate your life to the pursuit of public approval. before long, you’re making great strides in bettering your community, and sims all over town are singing your praises! you’re loving the limelight! what you haven’t accounted for, however, is how fragile others’ admiration can be - especially after a gnarly scandal…

traits: charismatic, irresistible, party animal, ambitious, social butterfly

lifetime wish: super popular

tasks:

join ballet as a child.

join drama and debate club as a teen.

have a high school romance.

have at least 1 child out of wedlock.

→  this can be with your high school sweetheart, but it doesn’t have to be.

→  this child (or one of these children) will become the next heir.

get married to your baby’s/babies’ mother/father.

reach level 7 of the political career, then adopt a toddler.

→  parade them around at every campaign fundraiser.

if you are invited to a party, you must either attend said party or throw a party of your own at the same time.

master the charisma skill.

master either the mixology or nectar-making skill.

reach level 10 of the political career.

✧

☾ generation 8 - triton

fact(s): triton is the only sizable moon in our solar system to orbit in the opposite direction of its parent planet’s rotation! growing up in the public eye isn’t for everyone, and it certainly wasn’t for you. as a child, though you often felt misunderstood, you held fast to your sense of self and rejected public perception - no matter the consequence. you find solace in artistic expression, but your methods are lost on your peers, your talents obscured by your delinquency. even so, you stay true to yourself. you know your worth, and with time, the world will know it too.

traits: rebellious, childish, avant-garde, loner, kleptomaniac 

lifetime wish: player’s choice!

tasks: 

develop the rebellious trait as a child.

pull pranks, skip school, dodge your homework, etc. throughout your childhood and teen years.

have a close relationship with the heir of generation 6 and a strained relationship with the previous heir.

→  you can skip this one if they die before the heir becomes a child.

develop the childish trait as a young adult.

get a part-time job of your choice.

master the street art skill, and reach max influence with the rebel social group.

quit your part-time job, and join the art appraiser career.

complete the “always wanted” street art skill challenge.

✧
