Back to Sims 3...its been a while. I need to finish lepacy this year. So I'm starting gen 8. This is Garnet. She doesn't know it yet but she's going to become a vampire.
Wanted something cutesy so I made another UI this one was inspired by the Pantone swatch Butterfly.
UI created using the Cloud UI Recolour Tool by @cowplantcartel . If you would like to try creating your own Cloud UI Recolors you can find more information Here. The download link for the UI is down below.
I have also included a folder containing patches for the UI. Take a look and drop the applicable patches and the package file for the UI in your mods folder.

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

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
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 :)

Hi guys! Back at it again with another legacy challenge, specifically a conversion. This is the 'Very Veggie Legacy Challenge', originally made by @lilsimsie but converted to ts3 by me!
Rules and generations are below or you can read on the GOOGLE DOCS.
If you used this challenge (specifically the conversion) feel free to tag me!
Hi all! Welcome to another legacy conversion by me! This is the ‘Very Veggie Legacy Challenge’, originally created by lilsimsie as a follow-up to her original ‘Not So Berry’ challenge. I stumbled upon this challenge by chance, looking for something to play, after getting the itch to play some Sims 4. Whilst skimming the rules, I couldn’t help but think they could also work for Sims 3 gameplay, so I quickly set about converting it.
One notable difference from the rules of the original one is that I have blended both the general rules for each generation with those of the ‘base game’ rules. Sims 3 has fewer packs and store content than Sims 4, so I thought it would make the generations feel fuller to blend the two.
As with the original rules, this is something of a colour-based challenge. Instead of basic colour themes, the colours are to be inspired by the vegetables used in each generation. This can be interpreted any way you like - colourful hair and clothes, full berry sims, or even just a colour house!
The original rules also intend for this to be played as a sort of rags-to-riches style challenge. You are encouraged to start on an empty lot with zero funds, but you are welcome to start in a starter home and move up in the world as the challenge progresses!
This challenge, as with the original, is meant to encourage fun and goofy gameplay. If you choose not to follow rules exactly, I am not going to bite your head off! The important thing is to have fun and play as you want to play!
General Rules:
Start with one YA sim founder sim
Dress your founder and heirs to match their assigned colour theme and vegetable! You may also choose to decorate their house to match the theme
Use the assigned traits and aspiration for Generation 1 (Broccoli) when creating your Sim. If you get random traits for your heirs in the future, try to assign at least one of their remaining traits with that of the upcoming generation
To complete this challenge you must make it through ten generations of the same family and complete all (if not most) of the challenges for each generation
If you are missing a career or trait, feel free to substitute it with whatever you deem appropriate
The next generation officially “begins” once you complete the rules of the previous generation and/or the heir has become a young adult
GENERATION ONE: BROCCOLI
Vegetables spend a lot of time outside staring at the sky. You notice the way sunlight filters through leaves. You hear how the wind sings. You watch the sky paint a picture every night at sunset. Nature is beautiful, and you want to capture it. You become an artist and dedicate your life to honing your craft and sharing it with others.
Colour theme: Dark Green
Traits: Artistic, Green Thumb, Love the Outdoors, Avant Garde, Nurturing
LTW: Master of the Arts
Career: No formal career (make money by selling your arts & crafts)
Additional Rules:
Become a knitter (you may use the mod here)
If you do not wish to download the mod, become a painter, sculptor, or photographer
Make money by selling your arts & crafts
Master 3 artistic skills of your choice
Painting, Writing, Sculpting, Photography, Street Art, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano
GENERATION TWO: EGGPLANT
Everyone won’t shut up about romance. All day every day you have to listen to weird suggestive eggplant jokes, people complaining about their partners, or even worse: them going on and on about their happy little relationships. You’re sick of it! Love is dead, and you’re going to prove it. You decide your life goal is to ruin as many relationships as possible. Well, at least when you’re off the clock. You can’t exactly quit your day job. Relationship saver by day, relationship ruiner by night.
Colour theme: Purple
Traits: Evil, Flirty, Great Kisser, Commitment Issues, Mean Spirited
LTW: Heartbreaker or Master Romancer

Have poor relationships with your child(ren) - do not interact with them unless autonomously, be strict, send them to boarding school, do not teach them any skills
Wear unusual or eccentric outfits
Have children with multiple sims
Never marry
GENERATION THREE: CARROT
Your parents weren’t exactly great role models for love, and you’ve always struggled with human connection. You long for someone who will accept you, won’t judge you, and will love you for who you are. In your hunt for companionship, you find someone who loves carrots unconditionally: a horse. You devote your life to caring for and raising your horses and become a championship horse rider.
Colour theme: Orange

LTW: The Jockey
Career: No formal career (make your money through equestrian events, fish, and produce)

Own at least two horses
Have a good relationship with your non-heir parent, and a poor one with your heir parent
Have one child

GENERATION FOUR: SQUASH
You grew up in a small town on a farm, and you always dreamed of getting away and moving on to bigger and better things.

Career: Your choice of major + associated career or social group career

Get married after graduating university
Have at least two kids
Divorce as an adult
Hire a maid and/or butler
GENERATION 5: POTATO
You never really minded dirt, and you don’t see why anyone else would either. It’s honestly kind of offensive that people are so dramatic about always wanting a “clean house” with “functional appliances” and “no mould.” You love to dumpster dive, befriend dust bunnies, and live in filth, and you absolutely NEVER clean.
Never clean your house - hire a maid or have your partner do it!
Join the Criminal career
Make money on the side by stealing and dumpster diving
Have one child and have a good relationship with them
GENERATION SIX: TOMATO
It’s hard growing up as a tomato in a world of veggies. You’re different from your family. Nobody takes you seriously. People keep pointing out that you contain seeds, and that you grow from the flower of the tomato plant so you can’t possibly be a vegetable like the rest of them. Well, whatever! You’ll show them by growing plants! You decide to become a gardener, and you will spend your life trying to prove to yourself to everyone around you.
Colour theme: Red
Traits: Socially Awkward, Loner, Green Thumb, Nurturing, Loves the Outdoors
LTW: The Perfect Garden or Celebrated Five Star Chef or The Culinary Librarian
Career: Freelance Gardener or Culinary

Meet your future spouse as a teenager

Have a garden

Become a Freelance Gardener and make money by selling your produce or join the Culinary career

GENERATION SEVEN: CAULIFLOWER
You come from a long line of vegetables, and you are fascinated by your family’s history. So fascinated that you think you start seeing… ghosts? But that can’t be true! Ghosts aren’t real? …right? Your fascination turns into an obsession, and you devote your life to the macabre, all while not being fully sure if you even believe in any of it.
Be in a relationship with a human as a teen but break up as YAs
Fall in love and have children with a ghost
Have at least three children
GENERATION EIGHT: RADISH
You grew up in a house full of death, and now you can’t help but feel chased by it. It doesn’t help that all your hobbies are a little bit dangerous. Just stay away from poison and try not to fall off a mountain. You’ll be fine! Constantly being surrounded by death taught you to live life to the fullest, and instilled within you a deep desire for adventure. The sky’s the limit… literally!

If you've ever wanted to choose your own UI colour scheme in The Sims 3, now you can!
The Cloud UI Recolour Tool is a small program that edits the Cloud Pink UI base files using colours you select in the tool. You can edit colours as many times as you like, and see a preview within the tool before you generate your own UI. You can then drop your new UI straight into your Mods folder.
Sharing & Uploading
Uploading and sharing your custom UIs is encouraged, I built this tool with that in mind! Feel free to tag me if you want to, you don't have to but I am excited to see what you all make 💕
Please don't paywall the UI outputs, you'll make me sad :(
Please credit those whose work has gone into this tool & the underlying UI. This is especially important for the patches, as I didn't make the original mods so if there are issues it's helpful for people to be able to find their way back to the original mod descriptions (and some of the patches don't work without the original mods installed either). The tool download has a file called "Credits - For Sharing.txt" with some text you can easily copy and paste, and all the patch folders contain a file called "Read me.txt" that contains some basic info and links to the original mod.
Huge thank you to:
p182 for writing and sending me the code to turn my tools outputs into .package files, and for building refpack_pipe.exe which compresses the package file sizes. Thank you so much!

A Sims 3 Challenge for the crazy dramatic and chaotic sims 3 is known and loved for! Idk i was bored and needed a challenge that fully hit my needs and thats it!
Okay I might redesign that cover image because I kinda hate it now 😅
ANYWAY the Cloud UI Recolour Tool is currently waiting in the moderation queue on MTS so keep your eyes peeled!
I was kinda nervous to release this since I've never made an actual standalone program before, but after having a few of you ✨ wonderful ✨ people test it out I'm feeling a lot better about it! I was actually planning to have a longer testing period, but so far nobody has found any major crucial issues with the tool itself, they've mostly been issues with the underlying UI files.
For anyone wondering what this is ~ if you've seen Cloud Pink UI, this tool lets you edit the colours of the UI, fonts and background, and also lets you adjust the opacity of the UI to some extent. You can choose from a standard preset or create your own with any colour combination 🎨
Thank you all the testers, I'm super grateful for all the feedback! I hope I didn't miss anyone:
