Name: Derielle by Simsimillian Description: The best Twinbrook adaption I found so far. The lake is boatable, lovely references to "True Blood" and updated for all expansions up to Island Paradise. Also scenery was greatly improved and neighbourhoods and housing rebuilt/replaced. Info

SIMS 3 IN-GAME ANIMATION CODES

Someone was looking for it today, but I can’t remember who. You don’t need to extract game poses and animations to use them. If you have pose player, you can use the default codes to make your sim angry, cry, do the tantrum, faint, etc. 

I’ve found that list online, but have no idea who created it. I know it works wonders for storytellers and I got it from some other simmer years ago. 

ENJOY

There are also various lists on SimsWiki. HERE’s one for base game animations.

Random Posing Tip:

Most tutorials only state that you can get front- top- and side-view of your pose by pressing 1, 3 or 7 on the numberpad, and view from the other side if you press Cntrl at the same time.

What I find equally useful is that the camera centres to the front, top or side of the selection (in this case a joint) if you press Shift along with the number. Here as well you get to view it from the other side if you also press Cntrl at the same time. You can see the little 3D balls that represent joints are looking like a circle with a cross in it, when viewed exactly at the right angle. This is particularly useful when posing joints that you can only bend one way in real life, like elbows, knees and fingers.

If you enable rotation by individual origins, you can also bend fingers as a whole instead of joint-by-joint, which makes hand-posing so much more enjoyable!

Reason I’m writing this out is that I tried to explain it in an earlier post for @windermeresimblr but my instructions turned out non-understandable as I swallowed half the sentence.

Entworld by suumsims Description: One of my alltime favourites. It's a masterpiece of ideas and creativity, the houses are wonderful and so is the world. A rather fantastic setting with breath-taking views and marvellous attention to detail. (Check the other creations of this incredible team - they do amazing stuff!) As a large world (and with lots of very steep terrain) there are some routing issues, but usage of Overwatch and Register should keep the world playable. It's absolutely worth it.

Sadly Suum-Sims website doesn’t exist anymore. You can find the world on their facebook page. Info and DL Link Size: large 2048 x 2048 Number of Community Lots: 43 Number of Residental Lots: 33 Required Expansions: all Store: no CC: no Populated: a bit Savegame available: no

Name: Eltham's Drift by Neuroticrobotic Description: A sleepy town with a lovely coast. Nice, somewhat sinister atmosphere. This world should run well on lower end computer as it's kept very basic (decoration wise), although it got all necessities for a legacy play. It also offers enough room for own expansions. Info and DL Link Size: medium (1024x1024) Number of Community Lots: 40 Number of Residental Lots: 38 Required Expansions: World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets Store: no CC:  Awesims's cornices Populated: yes Savegame available: no Further Links: Rabbithole recolours and additional lots for Supernatural

[norntesties]

Name: Lago Simiore by Norn & Simszoo-Team Description: A somewhat mediterranean themed world. The town is located at a lake and surrounded by mountains. Breathtaking scenery and lovingly detailed buildings. Features several parks, beaches, Late night bars, Showtime venues, culture venues and a base camp. All rabbitholes are included. Of course I am completely unbiased but this is one of the most beautiful worlds ;) (Seriously, if you run into any issues, let me know!)

Name: DIY Howell Island by Bakafox (CAW files only) Description: A rich and detailed small island with an utterly spooky atmosphere. Lots of effects make sure you never know what's lurking in the shadows over there. Unfortunately it was never finished by the original creator, but at least they offered the caw files. Bakafox uploaded several cute worlds on MTS, definitely worth a look. (Random information: This was the base for Danjalay's Maplethorpe Island.)

Name: Glendalough by Neurobotics Description: A moody, slightly run down town with a spooky swamp area. It's pre-Supernatural but could easily be updated for such a gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if a Great Old Ones would show up. Lovely use of World Adventure references. Enough space to add further lots.
