No Autonomous Ink Blot Test & Stimulus Response Test & Trivia Challenge
For some reason, everyone in town has been annoying my sims with tests and trivia challenges, so it's time for more tuning mods! These have likely been made before in some form, but I haven't managed to track them down, so there you have it.
University Life EP is required. These are made at patch 1.67 but since they're just simple ITUN edits, they should work with other levels.

University Life Athletic Hip Hoodie mesh edit for adult males
This is an edit similar to previous ones I’ve done, in which I’ve attempted to make this item into something more presentable-looking.
Default replacement, requires the University Life EP!
For YA/A males. Categories, textures and presets not changed. If you want a stencil-less version, see below.
The “with stencils” version is only a GEOM edit, so it doesn’t conflict with recategorizers (which edit the CASP resource) or texture edits (which edit _IMG resources).
The “without stencils” version is a GEOM and _IMG edit, so it will conflict with other stencil removal mods but not with recategorizers. However, this isn’t a serious conflict since it’s just replacing the stencil images with blank ones, which is most likely what the stencil removal mods are doing too, so you can ignore it. But if that’s a concern, just get the version with stencils. This version also replaces the default thumbnails with accurate, stencil-less ones.
There’s also a blue preset that pops up when you click the top in CAS, but isn’t present among the rest of the presets. This is standard EA behavior.
Download (choose one, both are DR):

Without stencils: SFS | Mega
Another very, very minor mod, because I keep wanting to use this rug and always grumble at the pointless stencils. If you get the BGC version: the rug is under Rugs, costs $55, and has one recolorable channel and no stencils. The DR version's price and location remain unchanged.

University Life Graffiti Hoodie mesh edit for adult males
This was a spur of the moment thing after seeing a thread on MTS. It sort of goes hand in hand with my edit of another UNI hoodie (why does EA insist on having untucked shirts?).
For YA/A males. Categories, textures and presets unchanged.
This is a default replacement and requires University Life!
It is only a GEOM edit, so it doesn’t conflict with recategorizers (which edit the CASP resource) or texture edits (which edit _IMG resources).
Hello! :) Do you know WICF a mod that will prevent Sims from getting arrested when tagging murals using TS3 UNIV Street Art Kit? Also, I was searching for a mod that removes the thought bubbles that appear when Sims are conversing. Thank you for any assistance that you can provide
Hi! I could’ve sworn there’s a mod for the first thing, but I can’t track it down right now, so I went ahead and made it.
Edits the GraffitiSurface_0x70d0998d235e29ef XML, specifically the kChanceToBeCaught parameter (from 3.5 to 0) and the kIncreasedChanceToBeCaughtBeingWatched one (from 3 to 0).
Obviously requires University Life.
Made with patch 1.63 but is compatible with higher.

Note by @nornities “Also if Sims have some Bumbleleaf in their inventory they won't get caught either.”
As for your second question: I use the cheat hideheadlineeffects on. It does away with the plumbobs and speech bubbles; the downside is that it also hides skill/progress meters. I used Nraas Overwatch to set it as an auto command that runs each time I open the save.
Regarding TS3 UNIV EP, Do you know WICF a mod that can prevent Sims from autonomously performing the school cheer and joining in with other Sims that are performing the action?
Hi! Sure, I use this one by JustAnotherSimsFan (registration required but it’s worth it because they have a ton of awesome mods), you have a few flavors that make the school cheer non-autonomous, along with a few other things.
Hi! Do you know if there's any mod that disables the household from seeing a sim off when they go to university? I find it so annoying that they drop whatever they're doing to see a sim off, one time a sim straight up caused a housefire because of it! Thanks in advance for your time <3
Hi! At first I was sure I’d seen something like this around, but no, it was for the mascot intro. After some digging, I was able to find an ITUN file that handles this situation, so here’s an edit of it. I tested it and the non-enrolled sims stayed put!
No Dropping Queue to Send Off Sims to University
Sims will no longer crowd around the front of the house, dropping their interactions, to see off sims traveling to University. The jingle will play but other sims will ignore the future students.
Hello sorry to bother you but I was wondering where I could find the beard you used on the sim who modeled Fliggs Fluff and Flock of Evils in your recent post?
Hi! It’s The God Pan Beard by Rock The Sims Italy 😊

The Ultimate CAS Catalog Overhaul - for real this time!
@lorasandolasbycz asked:
Hi! I love that you made ridiculous sims 3 outfit hiders. Is the procedure with putting them in and getting them to work just the standard? Put the package in sims 3>mods>packages ? For some reason the ridiculous outfits are still in my game. Thanks a bunch!
Well this turned out significantly longer than I anticipated 😂 I did notice that those hiders weren’t working anymore for some reason, but figured it was just my game being pissy, so I left them up and went through ALL sim CAS items again to reorganize them (it was long overdue anyway). This is what I’ll be posting here. It’s a long-ass post, so check under the cut for details.
This applies for all EPs minus ITF, and for HELS. Also I did not initially mean to share these, so only the hairs have previews (because I gave them custom thumbnails). All of them are default replacements, meaning you need to have the EPs/SP for them to do anything. You can put them in any folder you want, as long as it’s under Mods\Packages.

Read under the cut before downloading!
Hair retextures
The hair retextures are only for the hairstyles I decided to keep! Not all hairstyles are retextured! No, I won’t be doing more. Yes, you can use my textures to retexture your own. Yes, I kept the mullet hair from the Basegame. Who do you take me for?

IMG edits
I use these alongside other IMG and mesh edits: [x], no UL stencils, [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x].
Basegame: a merged version of all my texture edits: 1, 2, 3, 4.
Ambitions: this edit for the low-level stylist outfit: 1.
Island Paradise: stencil-less version of the male vest, plus this: 1.
Late Night: a few specular edits, a stencil-less version of the muscle shirt, plus this specular edit: 1.
Showtime: specular edits of two dresses.
University Life: stencil-less version of the male hoodie, plus this: 1.
CASP edits
Recategorizers and hiders for sim CAS content - tops, bottoms, outfits, shoes, accessories -, all ages. Open each package in S3PE and use S3OC to see which item is which; there are over 1.5k entries so I have no time to go through every one of them again. At most I can show you how part of my catalog looks (see photoset above). Note that I also use Nraas Master Controller to compress the catalog so that only one preset is displayed.
Pets Riding Leggings Edit (BottomEP5RidingPants)
This is an edit that gives all the channels the same color (the mask is intact so they can still be recolored as usual) and rearranges the presets so that the all-black one is first. It comes with EA-match thumbnails to reflect the color changes. It applies to both genders, teen-elder.
