When I thought my WIP personal use conversion was done, the open doors are totally having a problem and I might have to rescale them a bit or make the closed doors a bit taller, but for a first one I'm happy 👌😊
I can't live without these doors and they would be perfect for my Bordeaux inspired ts3 world.
After hours of effing around, my WIP conversion TS4 to TS3 that I need since it's one of my favorite doors in TS4.
Still need some work but I learnt many things: if you got no joints in Milkshape, trying to import different .obj references won't help since they might not have any too. So if, like me, you had to redo your whole computer, you might want to install things properly and use TSRW pluggins for Milkshape (oopsie). So .wso it is then...
And if TSRW won't import you mesh because of the "import failed could not update swiffle information for mlod entry" or wrong number of vertices/faces, you need an older version of TSRW you'll find on the best tutorial hub for Sims creation.
I don't think I will be able to share the result of this WIP conversion because of its creator's TOU (even tho I agree with this post).
But I'd like to thank the whole community, the people behind every damn tutorial and my cat for walking in front of my screen half the time I do anything on my pc (like right now, I'm writing without seeing the screen, rascal of a Moon-moon). And every converter who inspired me to do it myself💕
The Sims and the rabbithole of CC
Like, don't you hate it when you're browsing some CC finds site, you find a cool creator, you go to their page, find another cool creator, open up their page in a new tab, and OH WOW LOOK AT THAT it's another new creator making content YOU ABSOLUTELY NEEEEEED. And you get to this.
This absolute monstruosity of a window. How many tabs? Don't know. Will I still open up new tabs because I found new content to download and can't close the other ones because I'll go back to them later? Yes. Someone help me. This rabbithole is making me look CC up for hours, I still have to finish my ts3 world and to convert some doors from TS4 to TS3 and stuff, but I can't stop scrolling CC finds.
A great cc find!
Some of you might know about the 2012/13 MTS thread about Zelda's Titanic. For the ones who don't, it was a huge project by Zelda101, that included various cool cc pieces but none better (and harder to replace) than BloomsBase's Ist class Grand Staircase dome, pictured here:
Sadly, the links on MTS are dead and BloomsBase has been inactive since the mid 2010s and his page too, so tracking this dome was almost impossible, until like 4 minutes ago!
I found a SimsFileShare file created by the one and only @murfeelee , who posted the link to download the dome back in a 2017 MTS thread!
It took me AGES to find it so I thought resharing the link woud be appreciated, specially amongst edwardian era enthusiasts like me!
Of course, special thanks to @murfeelee for making my year with this link (that I can't believe I found just now ☠)
Anyways: download the dome
(Tagging some history related simmers for it to reach more people!)

OMG this is so cool
New Things to Beware on the Internet
On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.
Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.
Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".
This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.
What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.
Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.
This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.
What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.
I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.
Be cautious out there.
I really want to reiterate how this can go wrong frequently and fast, folks.
A malicious actor sets up a page with an auto-downloader squatting on a domain name that matches a common zip file name like photos DOT zip. This website is set up to start an auto downloader upon being visited, downloading a zip file with the same name as the URL which contains malicious software (virus, worm, keylogger, etc).
Scenario.
Someone you know well sends you an email or text with promised photos attached. The email even reads something like this.
Because .zip is now a TLD, that plain text is automatically formatted into a link to malicious actor's website without them having to send you anything.
Folk with family with iPhones or iPads that are sent multiple photos in one go might be familiar with iCloud's tendency to automatically compile them into zip file for the sender and less savvy tech users have trouble NOT doing that.
These same less savvy users, or even just someone just not thinking in the moment, will click that .zip link, not realizing it isn't the the same as clicking on the promised attachment.
They download a file that matches the name they expected. They open it because they were expecting that file and it's from a trusted source. Except the file they downloaded isn't the one that was sent by their trusted source and now they have malware.
Another Scenario.
An IT person tries to send you an email with instructions on how to resolve a problem with a commonly used filename like install-repair DOT zip or to install new software like microsoft-office DOT zip.
The email may start with instructions of where to go get the legitimate file to do the install or repair, but now a line later in the instructions is also has a link to a .zip URL. A user, already frazzled by IT problems, may click it to ensure they have the right file. Again, they download malicious code from a squatting website or it prompts them with a fake login and now the squatting website has stolen their login credentials for a legitimate site. All due to an expected email from a trusted source.
Above you can see microsoft-office DOT zip is already out there with a fake Microsoft login screen waiting to steal your credentials.
These risks are already out there now because the TLD has been activated.
Plain text on old post are already being resolved into links to the new websites.
Here you can see a tweet from 2021, long before .zip was a domain name, now resolves that plan text into a clickable link. You'll start seeing this everywhere, and malicious actors do not have to lift a finger to send it to you.
Yes, a lot of users aren't going to click that, but a lot of folk will. Whomever is squatting on photos DOT zip domain name has made a one time payment to have access to anyone that ever sees that file name typed out.
In an example of an existing squatter site, clientdocs DOT zip is exactly one such pre-setup .zip domain name that initiates an automatic download. This one may be harmless, but the set ups are already out there and waiting to catch folk.
It's an unnecessary and risky can of worms that's been opened up.
Holy Unforced Errors, Batman.
This is about to be very important in the sims community, given how many mods and cc are formatted as .zip files and what an issue malware and data collection can already be. Anyone using .zip mods should be on the lookout for this ASAP, and if possible protest Google doing this.
Tagging some other sims blogs I know to spread it around if you want!

Late to the party but I found this and it baffled me, I didn't ever see this sooner like wth.
Loving my (way too cluttered) bedroom 💕
When you think you finally found THE desk for your gaming room but computers won't fit... 😭
Here is a reminder that you can open up custom content in TS4 Studio and delete swatches you know you're not going to use for some files...It means a lighter package file and you won't have to face this! So please do it when you can, usually for personnal use it's highly recommended, even by the artists themselves❤️
(I didn't do that yet because I'm playing around, I absolutely love HydrangeaChainsaw's content)
Back and trying to make content but Blender keeps trying me.
What better way to rest while you’re stuck home after a little accident? Messing up with blender, again.
Yeah, conversions to TS3 aren’t going well for me, in the case of a specific set that hasn’t been shared. The UV maps and textures, no matter what I do, just won’t comply but maybe it’s just me. I’m just gonna stop wasting energy. Since it’s only the one Samsung frame with a painting on it, I might convert an easier TV and just put an overlay on it, maybe, any idea would be greatly appreciated!
And I was going to make myself a new train for my European world, modern and all; my issue? Too many faces. Too much detail. I’m considering making my own model from scratch as it will be in the background (Choo-choo!), so low-poly, but for my train station, I’ll see.
I wish I could just play The Sims 3 but the idea of having my own perfect little world is too much...
So I inked my mom...I was afraid of how the poppy would look like, as I drew the flower in a kind of simple and kind of weird way but she's happy, so I'm happy. The lines are far from perfect, I still have a long way to go before I stop feeling so stressed while working! #tattoo #tatouage #tattooing #apprenticetattoo (à Mont-Bernenchon, Nord-Pas-De-Calais, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiV3PaFq_ox/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
remember that time Paris Hilton made fun oh herself on Supernatural
like
this actually happened
Hold up, wait a minute, let me explain y’all a thing.
So a few years ago, I was involved with the press release for REPO! The Genetic Opera, a cult rock opera movie that Paris was actually a part of. I worked with Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich on a few press packets and we had a lot of good conversations about the casting. Specifically Paris.
During one of the press conferences, a reporter pointed out something to the effect of, “You were cast as Amber Sweet, an heiress to this REPO company, a spoiled brat, a drug addled addict, and a disappointment to her family. How did you draw on your personal life to influence your playing this character?”
Naturally the boys were LIVID. They’d gotten to know what they described as “the real Paris”, the Paris behind the stupid videos and the sex scandals; a remarkably bright, misunderstood woman who had come into her own. However, she was more than willing to answer for herself.
Her answer was that she felt connected to Amber in that Amber comes from a powerful family who, despite her cries for help, is going to always be recognized as a disappointment and a socialite. She said, “I really drew on the idea that she had a father that was never going to love her, and she didn’t know how to deal with that. And in some ways, I feel like that’s something everyone can relate to.”
Paris Hilton isn’t as shallow and vapid as everyone thinks. And she’s far more self-aware than we give her credit for.
CAW tip for dummies like me
If your custom world won’t load in game, there might be an issue you’ll have to track down in Create a World, a road or tiny piece of sidewalk hiding somewhere, alone, or under another piece, and it’s mad you left it there. Your only solution is to win this game of hide-and-seek with any of these pieces, redo your routing data (it helps a lot) and make sure everything is neat, sadly. Took me 2 days of trying and deciphering online threads, but my forest world is mine to take care of now
I did a thing
Making a new world in CAW, instead of a distant terrain I went and followed HydrangeaChainsaw’s tutorial to make a mountain as a 3D object. Why did I spend hours on that? Because I’m dumb and didn’t think we’d see under the map’s hills where the borders are...And I put a beach where I’ll be able to see the gap. So instead of smoothing it all to make the gap disappear, I went the hard way. But I’m happy I did 💜
