A simple, medium builder’s world with lots of many different sizes. Easy to match them to different destinations. Unpopulated, no buildings. Though I created it mainly for building, it is fully painted and contains spawners, so it is playable for a regular game or challenge if you’d like – just insert community lots (or create custom ones). Download below.

I know there's a bunch of these posts on here already, about things to do to fix your game/make it load faster etc. but some of the things I've tried that have worked I haven't been able to find in this sub, so I thought I'd compile an updated list of things to try.

(Disclaimer: I am in no way a computer expert, just a generally good troubleshooter I'd like to think. None of these were my own ideas, they are things other users recommended, I tried, and they ended up working for me. Most of these require you to edit and delete various files and folders, if you're not confident with messing around in your computers files then I'd recommend backing up [copy pasting to desktop or wherever] any files and folders you're about to edit, in case something goes wrong, or to just give yourself piece of mind.)

These links helped me when I had issues with my computer overheating and crashing the game. They helped when I played a save file for so long that it would take up to 30 minutes (no kidding) to load up, or even save. These links have also helped with general lag ingame.

Just for reference I've got a Gigabyte P35W V3 running a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M card. I keep my Sims 3 graphics settings around medium, with texture and sim detail at the highest. I could have them all at maximum if I wanted, but it's a stretch for my laptop.

So first of all I was having issues with the game overheating and crashing, and figured out it was due to the FPS. I also had Vsync in my Nvidia settings turned off. To fix it I first followed [this] (https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/3z1no3/how_to_enable_vsync_and_other_settings_on_a/?ref=share&ref_source=link) guide. It helped, but didn't completely fix the problem.

I then looked for another fix and remembered that in the past I'd gotten FPSlimiter and 3booter off of the [MATY forums] (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=15585.0). I got it again and my game ran like a dream, my laptop ran much cooler than before. Since that forum isn't very friendly to those seeking troubleshooting tips, I'll also include [this guide] (http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/843035/3booter-and-fpslimiter-what-they-do-and-where-to-obtain) for FPSLimiter and 3booter. So download the files from MATY, but for actual help, refer to the second link.

Okay next what I did was [increase the amount of RAM The Sims 3 has access to] (http://cloudwalkersims.tumblr.com/post/63397207980/if-you-have-more-than-4-gb-of-ram-you-can-give). The default is 2gb RAM, so if you only have 4gb RAM then DON'T BOTHER with this step, as you should only allow the game to use up to 50% of what you have. If you have 8gb available though you can bump it up to 4gb used, or if you have more like 12gb or 16gb you'd change the amount to 50% of that. I have 8gb available and the game was only using 2gb, by bumping up the amount to 4gb it really helped things load quicker ingame, so for example when I went from Map View straight into a house, the furniture would render quicker. Also found more subtle improvements in gameplay.

Next what I did was create a bat file to automatically delete all the safe cache files. [Here] (http://games4theworld.bestgoo.com/t8126-automatic-sims-3-cache-file-deletion#) and [Here] (http://games4theworld.bestgoo.com/t22999-the-sims-3-optimization-guide#) Read from "Step 6 Deleting Cache Files".

These cache files are safe to delete: CasPartCache.package, compositorCache.package, scriptCache.package, simCompositorCache.package, SocialCache.package, UserPresets.package (OPTIONAL, WILL DELETE STYLES), and any World cache files in your folder.

Follow the directions really carefully in this link, you'll need to change the names in the command to what's relevant to your computer. I copied the command from the "Optimisation Guide" link, and used the other link for further assistance. I'll post the command I use in my bat file below, I've linked the launch address at my "3booter.exe" file instead of straight at "ts3.exe" so that I can just use the bat file as an all in one launch button.

forfiles /p "C:\Users\cswar\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3" /m *.package /d -1 /c "cmd /c del /q @path"

forfiles /p "C:\Users\cswar\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\WorldCaches" /m *.package /d -1 /c "cmd /c del /q @path"

start /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin" 3booter.exe

wmic process where name="TSW.exe" CALL setpriority "realtime"

I'd suggest looking through the rest of Games4TheWorld's Optimization guide for further things to try to fix your game up. In the guide they explain and recommend NRaas mods (which I religiously use), the ones listed there genuinely help your save files from becoming laggy, buggy, and even corrupted in the long run.

Next, I have a large Legacy save file in my game, I'm 5 sim weeks into my town, it's a MASSIVE world, I have 180 human residents (not including service/npcs). I've disabled any pets/stray animals so that they don't get stuck and make my game lag. My save game can bloat up to about 120-130mb at times, which makes loading and saving so excruciating to wait for. Before I found this fix I was saving my game then heading off to make dinner, take a shower, even take my dog for a walk. [This fix] (http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Kuree%27s+Save+Cleaner), explained far better in the link provided, brought my 120mb save file back down to 65mb, and cut my loading/saving time down to 4-6 MINUTES. I mean, for a game that's still a lot, but for the Sims 3 that's REALLY GOOD.

That's all from me, if you require further help or just want to ask me something, comment below and I'll get back to you :)

Hotel Adriano (for TS3)

(from Porco Rosso, by Studio Ghibli)

I’ve always been a big fan of Studio Ghibli and I wanted to create something from one of the movies. I remembered there was this beautiful hotel on the water in the movie Porco Rosso, so I decided to create it in the sims. 

> FLOORPLAN:

> (MORE PICTURES HERE)

Hotel Adriano works as an Island Paradise resort, and it features a hall with a front desk and a bar, a dining room with buffet tables, outdoor terraces and gardens, three luxury suites, two resort rabbit holes, a kitchen, a gym, a spa and a wedding room.

(in the pictures I placed Hotel Adriano in Plavi Raj, which is based on the Adriatic coast, just like Hotel Adriano in the movie!)

> LOT INFO: 64x64 lot,  §486,186

> PLACEMENT: Just place an 64x64 lot on water and place Hotel Adriano there. But that note that when you place it, for some reason, the front desk appears here (see picture below). Just relocate it to the hall, where it should be (you can use moveobjects on).

> EPs:

I’ve used content from all EPs except University, and from the following stuff packs: High-End Loft Stuff, Fast Lane Stuff, Outdoor Living Stuff.

> CC:

I’ve used 61 package files. The CC is included in a folder in the .rar for easier installation.

> THINGS TO NOTE:

I did all I could to minimize the effect, but, since I made the roof with cfe, some edges can look a bit wonky at different times of the day depending on the angle and the lighting.

Hope you like it!

Shoe, Shear, Shazam! Lot Size: 20x30

Your furry companions need their regular shoeing and shearing, and so do you!

This lot comes in two flavors: Shoe, Shear, Shazam! - Tattoo, Salon & Elixir Consignment (this one) and Shoe, Shear Shine! - Tattoo, Salon & Jewelry. The store content varies depending on which flavor you choose, so please be sure to take a look at each post’s lists at the bottom.

The magic store Blood Moon deals in everything mysterious and occult - fortunes, potions, wands and even hexes. It features an elixir consignment store register and the shopkeeper’s modest little apartment with an alchemy station upstairs. (I added it for future story reasons for my legacy, so if you simply want to play with this lot, I recommend emptying it out or at least locking the door so sims don’t keep flocking to the TV there. You may also want to remove the spawners the alchemy station creates with TSE and buydebug.)

The elixir consignment shop is a recent change, so I tried my best to limit the amount of store content I used. The only things you’ll need to make it look the same are the voodoo doll and crystal ball. You can probably ignore the owl sculpture. You don’t even see it in these pictures and I only added it for ~story reasons~. You’ll still need all the items used for the basic building (+salon+tattoo parlor) though, so please take a look at the store content list below.

.sims3pack

This lot is meant to replace Appaloosa Plains’ default salon at 196 East Appaloosa Avenue.

All EPs and SPs (except Katy Perry and Diesel stuff), no cc, but a lot of store content - see below.

Sims 3 Rabbit Hole Rugs and Doors Complete Collection

Sims 3 Rabbit Hole Rugs and Doors Complete Collection

👍 PetsFixed

👍 patched to 1.63., 1.67., 1.69.

👍 Re-categorizated correctly

👍 добавлен перевод на Русский язык! Russian translation added.

💓 This great mod allows you build your own custom Rabbit Holes! Just make a separate room in your building on a Community lot with a minimum size of 5x5, install a Rug or a Door in it – and the building will work like a Rabbit Hole!

Non-Default Replacement! Now you have 3 options for each Rabbit Hole – the buildings by EA, the Rug and the Door! You can use them all at the same time or choose any of them! Just put the selected files in Mods/Packages.

Don’t forget that you can rename any Rabbit Hole using s3pe, or directly in the game using NRaas DebugEnabler.

Originally this mod was made in 2010 by cazarupt in the galaxy far, far away… Than remade by Jynx, than remade and updated to Late Night by Raven Shadow, MTS… Than partly updated for University Life by Margaret Pendragon and others… than… than… Than lost in sands of time.

Well, here we go.

In attached file you will find the Complete Collection of Rabbit Hole Rugs and Doors, PetFixed, patched to 1.67. Russian translation added. Re-categorization made.

👉 You will find Rabbit Hole Rugs in Community / Rugs and Community / Rabbit Holes sections.

👉 You will find Rabbit Hole Doors in Community / Doors section.

Sims 3 Rabbit Hole Rugs and Doors Complete Collection

Все двери и коврики для “кроличьих нор” из всех аддонов Sims 3 – собраны вместе!

👍 добавлен PetsFix - патч для игры с аддоном The Sims 3 Pets.

👍 обновлены для версий игры 1.63., 1.67., 1.69.

👍 и переведены на Русский язык!

💓 Этот потрясающий мод заменяет огромные и не всегда уместные здания «кроличьих нор» на двери и компактные коврики. С ним Вы можете построить собственное здание для любой карьеры! Не забудьте сделать в нем особую комнатку (желательно без окон, размером не меньше чем 5х5), разместить в ней коврик или дверь (стрелками наружу!) соответствующей «норы» – и  Ваша постройка будет работать как обычная «кроличья нора»! И даже лучше – ведь свое здание Вы можете не только построить в Вашем собственном стиле, но и оборудовать его удобствами, предметами для навыков, отдыха или развлечений, чтобы симы могли перевести дух после рабочего дня.  

Non-Default Replacement! Мод не заменяет здания «кроличьих нор» из игры, а добавляет свои!

С ним на каждую «кроличью нору» у Вас будет 3 варианта: здание из игры, Rabbit Hole Rug (коврик) и Rabbit Hole Door (дверь). Можете установить любые из них – или все разом! И не забудьте, что вы можете переименовать любую кроличью нору, используя Sims 3 Package Editor, либо прямо в игре, используя NRaas DebugEnabler.

Этот мод полезен не только для «строителей», но и для обычных игроков – ведь многие авторы использовали этот мод при создании своих зданий и миров, а значит, Вы должны иметь этот мод в папке /Mods/Packages, чтобы чужая постройка в Вашей игре работала корректно.

Увы.

Этот мод делали и дорабатывали разные авторы в разное время, сейчас найти актуальную версию почти невозможно.

Единственное надежное «хранилище модов» – это MTS, но там только версия Raven Shadow, которая была заброшена в 2011 году и не имеет очень важного обновления под патч Pets.

Поэтому – вот полный архив!

Все моды собраны вместе, обновлены для версии 1.63-1.67 и переведены на Русский язык!

👉 Коврики лежат в секциях Общественные / Строительство / Кроличьи норы и в   Общественные / Покупка / Украшения / Ковры

OAKSHORE 1.1 (UPDATE: SEE NOTE)

Oakshore has finally come out of beta! I have made many improvements and slight changes to make it much more friendly to play, as well as changing the whole look of the East end.

Changes include:

Oakshore, now with more shore! Oakshore’s beach has been greatly expanded, as per user requests.

More space! Lots more space! Oakshore has never been this spacious. There is room for much more lots now.

Completely new road layout, complete with streetlights and winding footpaths.

More/better spawner placement throughout the town.

Some aesthetic fixes such as prettying up the waterfall, adding shrubberies to the landscape, adding some hills and depth, and altering the shore’s rocky landscape.

Requirements:

All EPs except Into the Future and Showtime.

Aurora Skies and Riverview from the Store (or elsewhere, yarr)

Bridges from ModTheSims <- (click) download the files ‘Bluefunk_Riverview_Bridges_InGame.package.zip’ and ‘Bluefunk_Riverview_Bridges.package.zip’ and place the packages in your Mods folder.

Troubleshooting:

Having trouble getting the world to show up in your main menu? This is a bug with installing worlds since the 1.42 patch. Workarounds can be found in this thread HERE. This does not always need to be done, so try to install it the regular way (via launcher) first. If that doesn’t work do this.

Can’t place a blank lot in Edit Town? This is a game-wide issue, especially if you are trying to place a lot where another lot used to be (and got demolished). If you are placing a lot where another lot once was, save your game and exit to the main menu. Then reload. If you are having trouble getting a lot to snap to the road, hold down your ALT key while placing the lot, as it allows finer placement. You can also rotate it freely so you can get it to match the angle of the road.

HELP Oakshore broke my game what do I do?! Shouldn’t break your game, but if you want to uninstall it, you need to go into the Nonpackaged > Worlds directory you installed it to via the instructions in the MTS link and simply delete the file. Make sure to delete any saves you have in the world as well.

Credits:

I used a MySimRealty heightmap as the base terrain for this world, because I couldn’t properly morph terrain to match the edges of the Sunset Valley distant terrain myself (because I fail). Other than a vague part of the heightmap it has pretty much nothing in common with the original world, as I didn’t even keep any roads or textures from it whatsoever, and sculpted 90% of the terrain all over again.

UPDATE: This file has been updated as of today (Nov 02). Please replace your current Oakshore.world with this new one (link updated.) Changelog:

13 total pre-placed community lot spaces

21 total pre-placed residential lot spaces

Underwater textures are not full of fail anymore (grass texture? Really pleyita? Really? For real?)

Smoothed out the routing

Smoothed out the underwater heightmap so that your sims don’t impale themselves on sudden ocean spikes of doom and bleed out and feed sharks

Aelview is perfect for those who want a suburban little tight-knit town for their sims to live in. I had an idea for this. The map is here. It shows lot sizes & community/residential lots. Who doesn’t need a small world with lots of lots?

My idea was for a suburban community where sims had backyards that pretty much backed into each other that kids could travel backyard to backyard, playing till the streetlights came on. I envision a tight and friendly community living here. But of course make of it as you will. 

I will release a save file eventually, and any special lots/houses I make :) Of course you are allowed to create & upload your own save file if it so pleases you :) 

Be aware: This is new, if there are bugs I have not yet found them, but I doubt there will be. If you encounter any issue please message me. 

Details & such: 

This is a small world, for us who enjoy small worlds because theyre lag free and or cant load large worlds :P

It is completely base game compatible, you do not need any eps. 

I made this with patch 1.57, because if you have a mac like me, you haven’t patched because graphics are aheuiwjs :) It will work with later patches.

There are plenty of spawners for all you people who like to gather and collect. 

There is a lot in the far top right of the map, as I was given an idea for an enchanted forest.. It has not been filled in but it does have trees around so it’s also hidden. It can also be used as just a secluded lot for your sims, or whatever you would like to “hide” :P

The beach is also “hidden”. But you can still get there, there is a path hehe. 

Any issues, please message me.  If you take any photos or build on it etc, i’d love for you to show me, so tag it emperorsims or aelview. 

& Finally, the download

Quaintcoast Beta 1.0

Quaintcoast beta 1.0 is a compact world meant to be used with rabbit hole rugs. The town layout can be shown with explanations in this post here. The town has no pre-built lots on it, but it does have empty lot spaces pre-placed.

The download comes with the .sims3pack installable world file, and a read me file. Please read the readme before asking me any questions about this world. It should answer most questions you may have or problems that you may have. If someone asks me a question that is answered in the readme I will simply spam terrible 90’s music videos at them, you’ve been warned.

DOWNLOAD

New! I have now packaged a matching floor tile which will match the sidewalks in Quaintcoast. It’ll be in the flooring section of build mode.
