My upcoming set... still a WIP

I'm sorry for the delay folks, I did not expect it to be that long. My perfectionism is not letting me publish it yet! (The other set for my website fundraiser goal is ready to go though... I'm at 96%, soo cloooose... ) It sometimes really bothers me when patterns are off-center on some items, especially on bedding. So I am trying to optimize the larger pattern sizes of this set for EA's bedding, which involves mostly trial and error to position them, lots of file editing, starting the game, checking, closing the game, making changes in photoshop, saving the changes, putting it in the game, wait for the game to load, rinse and repeat. 🤪 I usually spot something else that is bothering me too and fix it while I'm at it (can you figure out what else I fixed here?) I know that many years ago, I was able to load my CC on-the fly into the game without restarting the game, it worked for texture edits, but I think either a game patch has stopped that or it was something special you had to put into the resource.cfg. I also do not know if it ever worked on patterns, they always show a blank pattern or lead to a game crash when putting a new pattern in while the game is still running. If anyone knows a way to load changed patterns into the Sims 3 on the fly, please let me know how! 💜

Does anyone know if there’s any mod that disable rippling air? I know it’s a dessert, but it’s so irritating after all this time, lol. I searched for rippling, waving, throbbing and hot air, but it usually search hot air baloon from store. I’ve also searched for “no mirage” or fatamorgana mod, but still nothing. It’s the huge effect which is displaying high above ground. It’s quite big in size.

Does anyone know if Inga Jones’ sunbathing fix is out of date or have other issues?  Not sure I even remember what it does or if it’s still/ever was needed...?

Constance drops by the Andrew’s place to talk to Frank’s wife, Robin. Born to Christopher Steel and Tori Kimura, this lovely sim turned to a life of crime. She’s now a mother, but that hasn’t stopped her criminal activity. Constance asks her some very pointed questions, and Robin sings like a bird.

Okay, so I used the Grim Reaper door edit by @mspoodle1 to make my graveyard more fun. I think it looks awesome, but now sims flock to Grimmy’s door when they show up in the cemetery. I don’t have any other structures on the lot except the catacomb rabbithole. Does anyone know how to stop sims from trying to go through Grimmy’s door?

What all do people post on their simblrs? I'm thinking of starting one.

Hey there! That actually varies a lot! As you can see I’m the kind of simblr that writes a whole novel with my screenshots, but most simblrs usually write either short pieces below a bunch of screenshots or just post screenshots like what I do with my Scarlet Legacy. You can check out the #simblr or #ts3 tag. There are also simblrs out there that do photography and photo editing with their sims and simblrs who create custom content. Let me know your simblr if you make one, I’ll definitely follow it :).

Despite the fact that they are related, Constance still has to question those known to work in the import business and report on their activities. She hopes she never has to arrest one of her loved ones for dirty dealings.

Question for people who use a lot of facial piercing CC...  Especially around the nose...

Do you end up having to sculpt the sim’s face/nose to kinda line up with the CC.  Or am I just finding things that are poorly bone-assigned?

Also... any recommendations on “good”-ish creators for such?  (Anything really, though specifically, lower lip, bridge of nose, upper ear cartilage)
