Here I mainly share my sims 3 (and 2 sometimes) gameplay. I have another blog where I share all my builds (@simsitecture) and a messy cc finds blog where I reblog the cc I like/download.
No longer posting full gameplay updates in tumblr due to tumblr's prude filters and 30 picture per post limit. You can read them on my Pillowfort.

This used to be the main account for @coreene but I separated my fandom and sims accounts. My main for coreene is @core-ene and all my fandom moots can unfollow this account if you want.
Here is Leia's graphic to commemorate the start of Generation Earth! She's going to be a scientist, max the gardening skill with a science & medicine degree. Her lifetime want is Greener Gardens - which is why she became a fairy and they moved to Moonlight Falls at the end of Elodie's round.
It has been a while but I finally got around to finishing Elodie's Generation Completion graphic!
I've been playing them again and Elodie is an elder now... going back to these screenshots to find something I can use for this graphic was an emotional trip down memory lane. I can't believe my baby is already an elder now 😭
After reading @eulaliasims post about some of their queued posts being hidden by Tumblr (for no reason), I looked through my own queue and found at least five hidden posts. I've appealed them all, and Tumblr staff were impressively quick to restore them (as they should be tbh). Ironically, the posts that were flagged made absolutely no sense, while the posts that I *maybe* (but not really) would understand if they were flagged, were fine.
Some change must have been implemented recently, because these posts weren't hidden a few days ago *sigh*
So, if you have queued posts, look through them and make sure they're not hidden. If some are, appeal them right away, and hopefully they'll be quick to restore your posts, too!
Let's hope that whatever this is will pass and that it's not the new normal, because omg, this is tiring. I can live with the mature label, even though it's annoying. This is a lot worse x.x
This is the reason I'm not posting full game plays on tumblr anymore. They fuck something up every 6 months and I'm done after dealing with it for 10 years
I've always hated how the camera jumps up and down when playing tall and slim buildings. Turns out, it's really easy to fix! It’ll take you less than a minute. All the details under the cut.
All it takes is opening the LiveCamera.txt file in your Documents>Cameras folder with a text editor and changing these two parameters near the bottom to a higher value. Doesn’t matter if you're using a custom camera mod or not. Those parameters should be there. I have set mine like this (remember to save a backup just in case you don't like these changes).
It might seem a bit extreme, but I still think it’s fine.
-The top parameter, floorheightsamplerange, handles how much the floors “extend out”, so the camera object can stand on it mid-air. The higher it is, the further the floor will extend. This will make it so your camera will be able to stick to the floor you’re on, even if you pan away from the building. No more annoying jumps up and down!
-The parameter below that, floorheightsampleinnerrange, handles the transition between sticking to the current floor and dropping to the ground level once it goes past the edge. The higher it is, the smoothest the fall will be.
I’ll note though that the behaviour of these parameters might not be 100% accurate with how the game actually works, but from what I tested I think it’s pretty close as an explanation. If someone knows better how this Live Camera works, please let me know and I’ll try my best to correct any inaccuracies.
Save the .txt file and check how it works in game. It might feel weird at first, but personally I find it so much smoother and easier to handle. If you’re not happy with these values, close the game and edit those parameters until you find your sweet spot. Unfortunately, you will have to close and open the game every time you change it to check how it works.
There’s so many cool Custom Camera mods out there that I thought it’s probably better to just show how to edit those 2 parameters than editing and reuploading all of them.
So yeah, that’s it. Now you can play those tall lots without getting a headache. Go ahead and send your college simmies to that hideous Sim State Tower with a hot tub on top of it. Now you’ll be able to see what’s going on up there.
