New Hidden Springs (A Save File)🌿

So this is a made over Hidden Springs that I made in my game. There shouldn't be any CC in this only expansion, stuff, and store content. I hope you enjoy. There is a lot of lots from other worlds, and places like modthesims (all the houses should have their creator in their description). Anyways there are just a few families in this world, and I think perhaps only 1 original household. So yeah I took a bunch of them out so that you could make it how you want! There is a bunch of store stuff but I get all my store stuff from not the store so yeah..uh and my ea worlds are not from the actual store either. I get it from here. Anyways if you don’t have the store stuff it will just replace it with base game stuff so it shouldn't really be that important. I know for a fact that Deliciously Indulgent Bakery & The Century Manor lots are placed in the world. You will need EA worlds for some rabbit holes

Expansions & Stuff Packs Needed: All Expansions except for Into The Future. Only need Town Life Stuff

Work as a Film Extra (A New Rabbit Hole Interaction)

This mod adds a new interaction to the film studio, allowing your sims to work as film extras to earn some extra cash. Various events will also occur during the process.

Requirements

This mod requires Late Night and Showtime.

Main Features

Sims aged teen and older can work as film extras at any time of the day. Sims who already work in the Film Career or are celebrities cannot work as extras, but those working part-time at the film studio are allowed to.

The interaction lasts for 4 hours. Similar to prom, a pop-up triggering a random event will appear every half hour. Below are the details and probabilities of each event (rounded to two decimal places):

Praised by the director: Gets a positive moodlet (16.67%)

Meet a celebrity: Increases relationship (8.33%). The celebrity must meet one of the following two conditions: 1️⃣Celebrity level is at least 3. OR 2️⃣Works in one of the following careers: Film, Music, Professional Sports, Singer, Magician, or Acrobat. This means you might meet Matthew Hamming, Pauline Wan, or even a 5-star celebrity cashier. If there are no sims in the current world meeting these conditions, this event will not trigger.

Obtain a Magic Gnome (12.5%)

Make a fool of themselves: Gets a negative moodlet (12.5%)

Get injured during filming: Gets a negative moodlet (8.33%)

Gain a little bit of the charisma skill (16.67%)

Conflict with another actor: Decreases relationship (8.33%). Preference will be given to sims in the following careers: Film, Music, Professional Sports, Singer, Magician, or Acrobat. If there are no sims meeting these conditions, your sim will randomly become enemies with a teen or older sim in the current world.

3 random filming work events: Purely text-based events (16.67%)

After the work is finished, your sim will receive payment (the amount is not fixed and fluctuates randomly based on traits and skills). There is a 24-hour cooldown before they can work as a film extra again.

Each event has a base trigger weight, which is further modified by the sim's traits. Sims with the Natural Born Performer, Star Quality, or Charismatic traits are more likely to trigger good events (being praised, meeting celebrities, etc.). Sims with the Clumsy, Loser, or Unlucky traits are more likely to encounter bad situations (making a fool of themselves, getting injured, etc.).

Tuning

You can adjust values for event weights, work hours, trigger intervals, celebrity relationships, etc. in the mod's XML file.

Conflicts & Known Issues

This is a pure script mod, so there shouldn't be any conflicts.

If a sim goes to work as an extra during their regular work or school hours, they might leave early or be reset by Overwatch, but they will still receive the corresponding payment. If your teen works as an extra during curfew, they will still be forcibly escorted home by the police.

If you place a new film studio in the world, you will need to save and reload the game for the interaction option to appear on the building.

Plumbots will not receive moodlets when triggering certain events, though it might depend on the chips they have.

Installation

Just place the package file in your Mods/Packages folder.

Available Languages

English, Chinese, Russian (by @murkoose)

If you wish to translate this mod into other languages, please download the Strings file and send me a pm with your translated file. I will include it in future updates.

TS3: Converted Facial Expressions

This is a mod that replaces most of The Sims 3's set of facial idle animations with their The Sims Medieval counterparts, resulting in subtler, more natural facial expressions.

More info, full previews and download under the cut!

This little package is one I've had in my personal folder for quite a while, but recently I got back to working on it to fix a couple issues and make some small adjustments before putting it out there.

The mod replaces 15 facial expressions for Sims aged teen and up. Most of the remaining expressions are left intact because they are identical in both games. These facial expressions are those that Sims make when idle depending on their mood; the expressions they make during interactions, socials, etc. are unaffected by this mod.

Though the facial expressions in TSM are far from perfect, the artists definitely learned a few lessons from TS3. TSM's facial expressions have reduced clipping and noticeably less distortion of the Sim's facial features, which means we can bid goodbye to Sims' eyelashes clipping through their eyebrows, noses scrunched up to oblivion, and humanly impossible facial contortions. Your mileage may vary, of course, depending on each particular Sim's facial slider combo; you will likely see more distorted animations on more distorted faces.

See a full in-game comparison of the vanilla vs. replaced facial expressions here!

By default, all facial expressions have a full blinking animation and a "noblink" pose. The TSM animations had some sort of blinking, but the Sim's eyes didn't actually close for some reason, so I took care of that for every facial expression this mod touches to bring them more in line with the few remaining TS3 ones.

Compatibility

This mod will conflict with other mods that edit most of the a_expression and a_expressions CLIP resources.

This mod is technically compatible with other mods that alter different resources in order to change the frequency of, or entirely disable, the facial expressions, such as Esmeralda's No making stupid faces when idle. Of course, if you used that mod, then you'd never see the facial expressions this one has to offer. :P

Download: SFS / Patreon

Reseting corner cabinet texture with nraas debugenabler

[simspaghetti]

Hello @frostedshore! Hope you don't mind, I've answered this as an ask/tutorial in case anyone else was curious how I roll for my sims sexualities

Basically, I also use NRAAS Storyprogression & MasterController to roll gender preferences for my sims, but I have custom balances set to make the chance of getting a non-straight sim a bit higher than the standard chance that comes with the mod

There's a very good explanation here on the NRAAS FAQ for how to determine your own custom gender balance if you want to use different settings to mine, as deciding your own percentages involves doing a little bit of maths!

My settings work out so that there is a 60% chance sims will not be straight, with 40% of my town being bisexual and 20% as lesbian / gay, if you want to just copy my exact settings here's how you do that:

Get to the NRAAS -> StoryProgression menu via town hall / a computer

Storyprogression -> Options: Main -> Options: Flirt ->

Chance of Bisexual Sim -> "57"

Chance of Gay Sim -> "20"

(Optional additional step):

When I enter a town, I often re-roll all undecided gender preferences for the whole town so that the premades will have more diverse sexualities, you need MC Cheats to do this bit

NRAAS -> MasterController -> Sim -> Intermediate -> Gender Preference -> "0"

To apply these settings:

NRAAS -> MasterController -> Town -> Randomize Undecided Gender Preference

I redo this last step every time a new sim in my household ages up into a teenager

I check sims gender preferences by clicking on the sim and choosing:

Nraas -> Sim -> Intermediate -> Gender Preference

From the following pop-up menus you can then see what preference they have for male sims and female sims, positive numbers signify an interest in a gender & negative numbers mean they aren't interested There's also an option for sims to ask other sims what their gender preference is under 'friendly' interactions if you have MC Cheats installed - but this way is just quicker for me!

[simspaghetti]

I did a bit of meddling about with the Cloud UI Recolour tool by @cowplantcartel and wound up creating this maxis-matchy (ish) recolour!

I've also included a download for my TS2-style font replacement - which was created on the basis of @ohrudi 's tutorial & mod!

You can also use the TS2 font replacement with any other UI (I've just included it here because it fits the theme)

➡️ Download the Font & The UI Here! (SFS)

Download the files and place both (or just one of them, if you want one or the other) in your Sims 3 -> Mods -> Overrides folder

I've also included the patches for various mods in a zip file - if you have any of the following mods, download the 'Mod Patches' zip and plop the corresponding patch (.package) file in your mods folder:

Arro - CleanMainMenu, MoreClothingRows / Butterbot - LargerPatternsPanel / Cmar - XCASfull / Cowplantcartel - MoreObviousOccults, PrettyPauseFrame / Gamefreak - KarmaPowers / LazyDuchess - CatalogSearch / xFairyExterminatorx - LifetimeWishes, Likes

Credits:

Thank you so much to the wonderfully talented CowPlantCartel & their recolour tool which made this possible!

Thank you so much to OhRudi for the font replacement mod - I take absolutely no credit for the basis of that mod, I just edited it in SimPE following their tutorial to switch it out for the TS2 font

TS2-Style Font is from here

If you want the TS4 icon replacements as seen in my screenshots, you can find them here from xFairyExterminatorx on MTS

The TS2 CAS Background featured in the screenshots is by LamonTarte here

CloudUI's Credits:

David_mtv, coregirl, momomomomoi, sidereus23 and sims3loveforlife for translations used in the loading screen text

Arro, Butterbot, Cmar, xFairyExterminatorx, Lazy Duchess and gamefreak130 for creating the original mods used to create the Patches in this tool

emelie.ikj for the loading screen text base files

Additional Info:

Muted Maxis UI will be incompatible with any other UI mod - and if you're replacing a previous UI you had installed, make sure you fully remove all the files associated with it from your mods folder

TS2 Style Font Replacement will also be incompatible with any other font replacement mod

If you want to make your own font replacment check out OhRudi's mod & tutorial here

If you want to make your own cloudUI recolour check out the tool here

Let me know if you have any issues!

I'd also love to see if u use this in game & post it so feel free to tag me :)

2t3 PlantSim Vines - Accessory or Default Replacement + Green Skintone Ramp/Slider Default Replacement

Can’t say I’m a fan of the aesthetic of TS3 PlantSims. That green color is uh, intense, and so is the leaf overlay. I do like the outfits and variety of colors TS3 PlantSims get, but I prefer the cute swirly vines and the muted green of TS2 PlantSims. Here’s my recreation of that in TS3.

Accessory 2t3 PlantSim Vines

Not an exact conversion of the TS2 vines, I had to erase and adjust bits here and there. Only babies have the little curl on the face since the mapping is different for older ages.

Unisex, for all ages (see instructions for baby accessories here)

Categorized as socks

1k textures

Fully recolorable: 1 channel, 2 presets

Custom thumbnail

Compressed

Accessory Download: SimFileShare (.package)

Default Replacement Vines

This replaces the leafy overlay (BodyVines, hidden in CAS) as seen in the preview pictures. Babies and toddlers don’t have the leafy overlay, so you’ll have to use the accessory version if you want them to have the vines too. There’s a wide range of colors that the vines can be, so some colors of the vines can be hard to distinguish from the skin. I suggest using cheats to edit your sim’s skintone in CAS, since PlantSim skintone is randomized anyways. This was made to go with the Skintone replacement below, but it still works with the vanilla green skintone. It’ll just be harder to see the vines.

Unisex, Child - Elder PlantSims

Recolorable, but you’ll have to use a cheat/mods to unhide hidden items to see it in CAS

Compatible with the accessory version above

Requires University Life

Default Download: SimFileShare (.package)

Default Replacement Base Game Green Skintone Ramp

This replaces the green skintone ramp (this one) that PlantSims use, inspired by TS2 PlantSims. Known as Alien Skintone in the game files, but alien sims use a different skintone ramp that was patched in with Seasons.

Gif Preview (Gfycat link if it doesn’t load):

Will affect all sims that use this skintone, including non-PlantSims, such as Green Toadified sims.

Compatible with analect’s Replacement Skintone Sliders for Patch 1.38 (MTS) as they do not modify this skintone

Compatible with any Default Replacement skins. This just modifies the skintone.

May look different than the preview depending on the skin you use. I use a modified Blue Sugar Nectar Skinblend by @brntwaffles as my default.

BG Compatible

Here’s a picture of 6 unedited PlantSims so you can see how the colors the game assigns the replaced vines go with the replaced skintone.

[mod] better ingredient thumbnails

fed up of hardly visible harvestables in your sim's inventory? don't want your pears in pairs? this mod replaces the autogenerated thumbnails for ingredients with custom ones that more closely match the produce. includes fixes for 29 base game, expansion, and store ingredient thumbnails. DOWNLOAD (SFS) details under the cut:

tiny thumbnails replaced with close-ups

off-centre thumbnails re-aligned

single ingredients (pears, berries, peaches, etc.) no longer show up as multiples

no more clipping/cropping issues with the mandrake, wolfsbane, and carrot

mandrake thumbnail now depicts the harvestable root, not the flower

egg replaced with more egg-shaped sims 4 version

pecan and cocoa thumbnails replaced with more easily identifiable images

INSTALLATION place the file in your packages folder (not overrides).

you don't need to have all the harvestables installed for this mod to work. it shouldn't conflict with any default override plants, though the thumbnail won't match if the look of the harvestable is changed.
