ICOLOPOLIS was at its beginning a vast orange grove on the right bank of Llama River, surrounded by a few peasant houses.
Ico Lopoli, its owner, was so skilled, ambitious and enterprising that in a few years those few houses became a prosperous, populated, modern and lively city.
Despite the fame of Icolopolis, nobody knows what happened to Ico Lopoli: he mysteriously disappeared, after an incredible long and surprisingly prosperous life.
Who knows, maybe he is still alive, hiding himself in disguise somewhere in the city…
Is Icolopolis worth a coffee?
Icolopolis is available for free.
However, if you appreciate all the love and efforts I put in building it, every small DONATION will be very appreciated. I’ll be very happy to create even more beautiful stuff for your game.
So, please, DONATE.
Thank you. :-)

Known issues:
The Owner’s door of the big show venue from Showtime is bugged (the owner walks inside instead of came out), so - just in case you will start a new game WITHOUT using my “Icolopolis POPULATED” save file - I suggest you to delete that door (using Moveobjects on), and replace it with the cloned one you’ll find in the Doors section.
I’ve cloned the basketball hoop from the Store (named cloned_basketball_hoop.package).It works fine, with its proper animations and sounds, and the original file from the Store is non required, but your Sims will play with an invisible basket ball. If you own the original basketball hoop from the Store, replace mine with your (you can eventually delete it from the Icolopolis CC folder).

Credits:
Special thanks to @nornities and @simsmidgen for all their precious suggestions and help (without they Icolopolis would be heavier and laggy!), as well to @dylan-walsh-sim, @applekissims and @mllwio for testing.
They can be purchased through electronics/misc, bathroom/accent, or from the supermarket RH.
Disposable razors have a max. 3 uses before expiring.
Electric razors may break and need repairing.
Only disposable razors can be used in the shower.
Interactions
Sims can shave off their beards using the sink! A full shave lasts for 72 hours - stubble will grow back 1 day prior to this.
Sims can also shave their beard into a style.
Sims can also shave their legs in the shower.
Other features
Some sims may nick themselves while shaving. The sims in question will have at least one of the following attributes:
traits: clumsy, absent minded, childish
buffs: sleepy, bad nights sleep, exhausted, dazed
age: teenager
About beard styles
The types of beards available are determined through the Beard Config XML in the mod's main package file. You can add your own beards, if they happen to have a CASP name, and also determine which of the beards may be chosen as stubble.
Known Issues
Sadly, I couldn't get all beards to play nice with the mod. The two EA beards 'amBeardMoustache' and 'amBeardMoustacheStubble' as shown in the screenshot below will not grow back once shaved or be applied to the sim when chosen as a style. As such, I have removed them from the beard XML and you will not see them in the drop-down like below. From my knowledge, these are the only two beards that act as such.
Other
Requirements: No EP or mod requirements
Recommendations: @nectar-cellar beard cc . Kitt Trapping Beards, Imamiii beards. Whichever Master Controller module allows for female body hair.
Special thanks: @twinsimming for providing the shaving cream overlay which she converted. Those who helped to test the mod @desiree-uk @its-time-o-clock @puffkins2000 @twinsimming and any others who tested but did not reveal themselves.
Tuning: There are tuneable values in the XML.
Uninstallation: You can use the cheat 'uninstallshaving' to safely clear the mod data before removing from your mods folder.
Compatibility
I do not use NRaas Dresser anymore so I'm unsure how how fervently it will try to add body hair to sims when enabled. Please keep this in mind if you see oddities.
Final
There is documentation in the download. Please have a read of it if you have questions. If something isn't clear, feel free to ask!

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate! Can you believe it's been 2 years since I released the original S3DT ?! 😮
This version brings the long awaited SCALING, as well as hotkeys for changing presets and a few other little things. Please take time to read through all the instructions. See THIS post for information about the rest of this mod.
These new hotkeys will only work when in Decorator Mode (Shift + D), similar to the other hotkeys. For some reason, the "Create Scaler" hotkey only works when moveobjects on is enabled.
PRESET SWITCHING
To switch between presets, pick up an object and use either (;) or (') keys (see diagram above) to move forward/backward. This will work with custom objects like paintings with lots of images, and also different patterns, including user saved presets!
SCALING
This mod uses a custom object to scale objects. You can buy it in Surfaces, Misc or use the hotkey (/) (see diagram) to create one immediately. Place your object on the scaler, and then pick up the scaler, not the object. Use hotkey (-) to make the object smaller and (=) to make it larger. To move your object, make sure to always pick up the scaler and apply any other transformations (rotation, changing height) to the scaler. The object will still be usable, and the scaler will disappear in live mode.
Made the object so big you can't select the scaler anymore? Simply pick up the object in the slot, press 0 and it will switch the hand tool to the scaler so you can continue to move it.
NOTES & ISSUES WITH SCALING
When placing, sometimes it says "Location out of bounds", simply rotate or use MoveObjects on to get around this.
Sim animations will often look weird when using scaled objects.
Modular objects and certain large appliances will NOT scale.
Objects with slots and effects will also apply scaling to any objects placed in those slots, and the effects. So if you have a giant dining table, you'll get a giant chairs. Tiny fountain = tiny fountain effects.
Trees and bushes can technically be scaled, but its more of a compression of the leaves in and out, rather than proper scaling. You can do some cool stuff with this though!
If you have a scaler scaled to say, 200% and then clone that scaler, the new scaler will also be at 200%
EXTRA BUILD/BUY INTERACTIONS
These can be accessed by Shift + Clicking on any object in Build/Buy mode.
1. Remove Footprint - Removes the footprint from an object, allowing sims to walk through it or use other objects that would otherwise be blocked. This will remain even after you save and quit.
2. Disable Snow on Object - Disables snow on an object. Only for decorative objects, as functionality will be removed when you use this.
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄🎁 This is a little mod that makes food in the game have an affects on a sim's weight, some will make them gain weight like hot dogs and cakes, and others will help with weight loss like salads and meat/fish with veggies. More info and download link below! 😊
these are default replacements for baby food, credit to somik and severinka for the original meshes and textures. as cute as they are, you can unfortunately only choose one to have in your game! it will conflict with any other texture/mesh replacements for baby food.
i also edited the textures a bit to be compatible with thesweetsimmer's more toddler interactions (sit and feed)! it won't have the cute animal faces, but the “sludge” texture is updated to your replacement of choice.
TS3 World Adventures - Authentic Chinese Spring Rolls Replacement Mod
D E F A U L T R E P L A C E M E N T
New custom mesh & texture to replace EA's "Egg Rolls" functional food with recipe.
Cook
Eat: With working GeoStates (Full, Half, Empty)
Serve
And STBL rename mod to rename Default EA's "Egg Rolls" --> "Spring Rolls".
Reason why I made the change:
Egg Rolls were introduced in World Adventures Expansion Pack, as food recipe in Shang Simla, China Sims world, are actually not authentic food to depict Chinese food in China but American Chinese food in U.S.A. country instead: Cheap "American Chinese" meal with stir-fry noodles on the same plate.
In China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries, the correct name: Spring Rolls, not Egg Rolls.
Egg Rolls are variation of American/U.S.A. Spring Rolls in their country, because Egg Rolls were created in the U.S.A. to appeal American people (has thicker wrapper and bumpy texture) and have been staple dish in American Chinese restaurants. While we actual Asians, Chinese & Southeast Asians, call them Spring Rolls （春捲）and we put Spring Rolls on one plate separated from other food or meal or dish.
We actual Asians live in Asian country do not put Spring Rolls together with stir-fry noodles on the same plate. Imagine if you put spaghetti with burger on the same plate...
Shang Simla taking place in China, not U.S.A, so that was why I made the change from Americanized food that EA's The Sims 3 employees did not consult to actual Chinese people to authentic Chinese Spring Rolls that normally we eaten in real life. For your info, Traditional Chinese version of The Sims 3 World Adventures has correct name to call the Spring Rolls : 春捲 (Chūnjuǎn = Spring Rolls), not Egg Rolls.
More info to read: Spring Rolls vs Egg Rolls (source: tasteofhome.com)
Google images Chinese Spring Rolls （in English)
Google images Chinese Spring Rolls （春卷）( in Chinese)
Egg Rolls （蛋倦）in Chinese language and country (also sold in Southeast Asian countries) are actually biscuits made from eggs.
------------------------------------------
Mesh & photography texture are made by me. Using photo texture of Chinese Spring Rolls wrapped in diagonal triangle-shaped wrapper, with yellow-golden fried colour. The texture has 2048 x 2048 pixels to ensure highest quality for The Sims food texture.
The Geostates of Full, Half, Empty are fully working.
Cook & Serve with new modded mesh & texture:
"Spring Rolls" rename mod to replace "Egg Rolls":
The "Spring Rolls" rename mod has been translated to other languages using online translator. Feel free to correct me in comment section if you see wrong translation. Chinese version does not need translation because it already has correct translation: Traditional Chinese: 春捲 Simplified Chinese: 春卷
-------------------------------------------
Requirement: World Adventures Expansion Pack
Sim must learn how to cook Spring Rolls (that EA The Sims 3 called them Egg Rolls) from cooking book bought in Shang Simla, China and have adequate cooking skill to enable Spring Rolls option.
⚠️ Known issues:
"Spring Rolls" rename mod only works for brand new cooked food in the game. When you already had your Sim served old EA's "Egg Rolls", then you installed this mod, the mod will not automatically change/rename "Egg Rolls" to "Spring Rolls" for existing Spring Rolls in the game. Your Sim should cook new Spring Rolls from fridge, cook, and serve, then the name of the food will change to "Spring Rolls". The same thing applied for Spring Rolls bought in Shang Simla food or any World that has food register. Your Sim should "Buy Food" to get the Spring Rolls with new "Spring Rolls" name. While the old existing food still has "Egg Rolls" name attached to the food. If you put the food in fridge as leftover before you installed this mod, the name will be "Egg Rolls" no matter what. While your brand new cooked food has "Spring Rolls" name.
The Spring Rolls thumbnail looks broken mesh with incorrect UVmapped texture because the game generates the thumbnail by itself and due to OBJD and the thumbnail source of the original EA's Egg Rolls cannot be found elsewhere, thus the thumbnail cannot be fixed. Please ignore the thumbnail, as the mod itself works very well.
As usual, install this package on Package folder. You can safely delete the package if you no longer want to use the default replacement.

Conversion of the Dusk dress by @regina-raven. I have wanted this dress since late november/early december (don't know when exactly), and was actually my motivation for wanting to learn to create/convert clothes but felt intimated by it. @bartoszsims3 did an attempt at first but he lost all his files at some point, and I had learned a lot in the meantime, so here it is! The gorgeous scandalous Dusk dress by Regina Raven.
Download SFS / Mediafire
Everyday, formal, career, is revealing
Young adult & adult male - It's inappropiate for teenagers and it would have to be a very confident 70 year old.
The original has a female version, but I found this unnecessary. Feel free to convert, tho.

Custom Thumbnails, these:
Masks
@lwillowlthewicked for these divider thingies
@Regina-raven for the original texture & part of mesh (top part is painted-on texture)
Made with Blender 3.6, Meshtoolkit, The Sims Resource Workshop and Affinity Photo/Designer
It's a conversion, but I did quite a bit to it - i.e. I repainted how much is sequin and "flamy" on the legs, making it cover more of the leg, as otherwise skin texture would be on the dress where it would be empty between legs space in real life, and I also had to redraw a lot about the neckline, abusing the clonetool for the sequin texture, to make it fit the UV Lay-out of the ts3 torso. I also did manual boneweight painting & morph editing and ofc painted the 4 different masks.
No female version as previously established because there are more than enough slutty party dresses for female sims & of a lot of unisex TS4 items, only the female version gets converted if it is on the femme side.
