welcome to finnington! famed for its nectar, its music scene, and a rich local history of things catching fire, blowing up, or singing when they shouldn't. half the wharf burned down once, but it's been rebuilt better than ever! the waterfall's alleged madness-inducing melody remains unconfirmed, and ever since a certain scientist's experiment leveled the old town, there's been a tree in the square that nobody wants to talk about. sure, one mayor held office for a suspiciously long time, but that's all behind us now. new residents arrive every day, chasing their dreams. there's never been a better time to move in!
this is a save file for armiel's beautiful finnington, which you can download here.
my version of finnington comes populated with every townie having their unique skills, jobs and relationships based on their personalities. there is also a little tomb puzzle that requires exploring the town a bit.
download information
map size: medium
populated?: yes
required expansion packs and stuff packs:
all expansion packs are required. this is a save file, not a world file, so the game won't open it if you're missing any EPs.
no stuff packs are required. (i own outdoor living, high-end loft, fast lane, town life and master suite stuff, but the save should open fine without them.)
included cc:
awesimsโs cornices
jynxโs rabbithole rugs
gosik & ingeโs half landing cottage stairs
not included cc:
horusmenhosetixโs beetle eye contacts
pixelswirlโs orchard skin blend defaults
these are for the townies, but the save works fine without them, so they can be safely skipped.
download: finnington xoelands save file
please read the instructions very carefully as it might not work if you donโt!
this is a save file, so you'll need armiel's finnington world installed first. download it here. if you skip this step, the save file wonโt work in your game.
once you download and unzip "finnington_xoelands", you'll see "Finnington_xoelands.sims3" and a "cc" folder inside
copy "Finnington_xoelands.sims3" to: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves
everything in the cc folder goes to: Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages
i've been playtesting this save for a while. my game never lags unless i have the wild horse issue (explained under the cut). some slowness in the first few in-game hours of the day is normal, since that's when the game assigns NPCs and such. it usually clears up around the time the university mascot shows up at your door.
more information and pictures under the cut!
if you want to use this version of finnington in a pre-existing save file (for example in your legacy) with nraas traveler mod, simply follow these steps:
open the "Finnington_xoelands.sims3" folder and copy "Finnington_0x00000000.nhd"
go to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves and open the .sims3 folder of the save you're currently playing
paste "Finnington_0x00000000.nhd" inside that folder (back up your save first, just in case!)
next time youโre going to travel somewhere in the game with the traveler mod, you should be able to visit this version of finnington!
recommended mods:
nraas master controller
thereโs not much to say about this one. i usually reset the town every 2-3 sim weeks for smoother gameplay.
nraas register
i highly suggest preventing the game from spawning any stray/wild animals or tourists:
city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> register -> animal control -> set everything to 0.
city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> register -> tourists -> allow tourists -> false
nraas go here
itโs better to disable boat routing all together just in case.
city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> go here -> allow boat routing -> false
additional entry and exit routing slots
so your sims don't get stuck in front of the school building.
known issues and fixes
1- carpools and school buses can't reach the outer ring of old town finnington. this is a routing issue i can't fix without the caw file, but there's an easy workaround: nraas traffic makes sims take taxis instead, and taxis can route there.
to set it up, go to city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> traffic -> routing and set the last two options to true.
to stop the game from spawning tons of empty taxis, also set city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> traffic -> traffic delta to -1000 or -2000.
2- even with nraas register's animal control set to 0, the game still manages to spawn a wild horse from time to time. whenever my game starts lagging or stuttering, this one wild horse is always the culprit. luckily it's an easy fix:
go to city hall (or any computer) -> nraas -> master controller -> sim -> focus -> species -> horse
from there you can decide what to do with it. i usually go with force kill -> old age
that should be all. enjoy! and let me know if there're any problems.
While setting up my Stardew Valley save, I wanted to find out if it was possible to create community lots that have live-in residents, given that many of the town buisnesses also function as NPC homes in Stardew
Turns out it is possible to do - it uses an NRAAS feature I never knew existed, so I thought I'd give a tutorial! (ty to the NRAAS forums & MTS help threads for this information! - I've just compiled it to help others :D)
Essentially, this means you can create functional pubs / bars / shops / restaurants etc. which your sims can actually live in while running the business, and other non-playable town residents will view the lot as a community lot and come to visit / interact with it as such!
Also, as I've got a few of these NRAAS tutorials going now, I made a page where you can find all of them linked here - I'm open to requests as well :)
Tutorial under the cut โฌ๏ธ
Mods you will need:
NRAAS MasterController & MasterController Cheats
NRAAS Register (only for Part 2)
EDIT TO ADD: I recommend using a business mod such as Ani's Merchant Mod to allow your sim to earn money from their business in addition to this tutorial - you may find this much better for current-household gameplay, because your sim will not earn funds from their business when you're only using the NRAAS method detailed here (apart from mixology tips etc.)
Part 1: Adding sims as residents
Start by building / placing your business of choice using Edit Town, and pick what kind of community lot you want it to be through the 'change lot type' menu
Plop down the sims you want to live there on a different residential lot in town (this is temporary housing, it doesn't matter where / what it is)
For this tutorial, I'm going to be using The Adventurer's Guild dive bar as an example, & I want my two sims to live there: Marlon & Gil - Marlon will be tending the bar and Gil will just be living on the lot without any specific role
Your business doesn't have to be a bar, I'm just using that for the purposes of this tutorial - You can add residents to any community lot type, someone on the NRAAS forums even suggested adding 'homeless' sims as residents of community parks which would be fun for a rags-to-riches challenge! - other examples include: a bakery, personal training gym, savvy sellers shop, a nectary etc. etc.
Now everything is placed, you need to alter some settings over in the NRAAS MasterController main menu to set things up
Click on a computer or city hall to bring up the NRAAS MC Menu:
NRAAS -> MasterController -> Settings
'Allow Add Sim on Community Lots' is set to false by default, click on it -> change it to true
Click the checkmark & exit out of the NRAAS MC Menu
Go back to your community lot, click on the building and bring up:
NRAAS -> MasterController
At the top of this menu, there should now be an option to 'Add Sim' (as there usually only is on residential lots)
Click 'Add Sim' and then you can either filter by sim type OR just click 'Test Full Family' to find your sims on a list of all the townies - once you've found them, select their portraits and press the checkmark to exit the menu
I recommend resetting the sims & the lot once you've done this, your sims should now be residents of the community lot of your choice! You can keep them as the active household (although I haven't playtested this) or just have them as non-active families who are meant to own businesses around town
Part 2: Giving sims Functional Roles
I'd like to go one step further and have Marlon be the functional bartender for this lot, for this part you will need NRAAS Register (linked above)
There are two ways to do this:
1. If it is within working hours (for my dive that's 11AM - 3AM, you can check your lot's hours in map view), click on the bar object (or whatever role object you want, such as the industrial oven / cash register etc.) and choose
NRAAS -> Register -> Select
This will bring up the same sim selection menu as before, just choose your sim out of the list
They'll now be the functional bartender / role sim for that object!
However, this menu may not show up for various reasons, the main one being if it's not within working hours for the lot - there's another way to assign your sim if that is the case:
2. Go through the main NRAAS Register menu - click on City Hall or a computer to bring it up
NRAAS -> Register -> Find Empty Roles
As long as you haven't pressed play on the game since you placed your community lot, it will not have anyone assigned to the object yet, and it will show up under this menu as an empty role you can fill with your sim (through the sim selection menu again)
If the object does already have a sim assigned to it, you need to find whoever the sim is and remove them from that role:
I suggest just waiting until it is working hours & the sim shows up for work, then click on them & choose
NRAAS -> MasterController -> Intermediate -> Remove Role
You need MasterController cheats for this 'Intermediate' menu to show up!
This should then free up the object for you to add your sim to it through either of the previous methods - KEEP YOUR GAME PAUSED while you do this so no one else gets assigned to it before you're able to assign your own sim!
And that's everything!
Have fun with your functional residential businesses - as always if you have any further questions leave a comment or send me an ask and I will try and help ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
Big thanks again to the NRAAS Forums & MTS Threads for this info, I'm just compiling what I found online as I had no idea this was a feature and figured it might be useful for others to know too!
I was looking for in-game tattoos (instead of the accessory/makeup ones) and found these beautiful ones from FourTSeven, but the link was broken. Well, after a lot of searching (A LOT) I found the new Lost Utopia website and thought it would be great to share here if anyone is interested.
In their post here, @ktarsimsโ rose the question about finding any witchy makeup clutter in the community.
There is A LOT Of makeup/vanity clutter out there (check Lana, obviously). Also, Cashcraft at TSR is pretty much the queen of vanity clutter, so thatโs the very first place I think you should check out; she has a lot there.
But this WCIF is specifically for clutter that fits more fanciful or magical themed lots. (I personally used a lot of this CC in my sim!Magnus Lightwood-Bane Loftโs apothecary, and sim!Madzie Lightwood-Baneโs BlackGirlMagic Apothecary shopโin case anyoneโs been wondering where all that clutter came from)..
