Sims 3 Performance ASI: EA App, Nexus, Source Code
Hey everyone, me again.
So that mod blew up. 1600+ downloads in about a week. I know many mods get far more, but stiiiill, it's exciting. Thank you for everyone who downloaded and shared feedback!
So here's a more-or-less finished version (might add more stuff if anything surfaces, or if anyone reports embarrassing bugs), properly uploaded on the Nexus. Source also included (not GitHub atm, meh, but you can download and see everything you need from the Nexus link).
Also...EA app support! Yaaay!
Special thanks to riperviwe over on Discord for being a test subject and sending live logs to make it possible. Also everyone who tested over at the Creators' Cave Discord server!
DOWNLOAD HERE!
And please let me know if anything breaks, thanks.
Well it wasn’t just me, to be fair. I would have never been able to without @fireflowersims help and HugeLunatics trust in both of us. Thank you to both of them for their work and thank you @teaaddictyt for reaching out and doing the more public communication.
I’m super happy I got the chance to work to fix it. It wasn’t an easy undertaking. It seemed like every little thing would cause more errors, I fixed one and another thing broke. But now it seems stable, finally.
A lot of technical stuff below the cut, beware.
Fixing such an old forum is not easy. Documentation is rather sparse because the framework it runs on is old. There is however a more modern version, but updating is difficult. Here was the issue for the forum - upgrading failed.
A website (usually) consists of two different parts: 1 - The files. They contain the code, scripts, designs, images, attachment, profile pictures etc. 2 - The database. The database connects all the different parts and tells the website where to find something. Everything gets stored in tables, assigned IDs and given values. Everything written, each post and topic is also stored in the database. So without the database the whole page would be useless.
It was clear from the beginning that the database was the culprit for the failed upgrades. I got an earlier backup from HL and started working.
I set up a local environment with two versions of XAMPP. One running on php 7.4 (the last version having compatibility for the forum framework version and the upgrade script to the recent version) and the other on a modern 8.3, which was the same as the version the server @fireflowersims set up for GOS.
I ran the upgrade script (which consists of 4 separate parts) on the old backup and ran into errors right away. The script would just outright crash on me, most often without a log or message. The (local) server would just stop responding. My original plan had been to upgrade to version 2.0 first, then 2.1, since it was the recommended order. However the database backup had already been partly upgraded to 2.1. That was the reason my upgrade script failed. Reversing those changes could have been a possibility but extremely time intensive.
(This is the frontpage of the upgrader. I stared at it so much. Like you can see it has a ton of steps)
Instead I asked for the current database and HL provided it to me. This one was already further along on the upgrade and I could see the error HL had run into before handing over. I had to look at the upgrade scripts and source php files to diagnose what the framework was expecting - and failing - to find in the database.
That’s where I found the main culprit for *most* of the errors: Time tables. The framework saves every action that a user does in a log, a long table with the action, an id and a date. This was where everything had gotten wrong. The upgrader expected to see one column for the date, named *day*, while the current table had a different column for day, month and year. I tried fixing the table at first but that didn’t seem to work, so I completely deleted the table and created a new empty one myself. (By now I think the issue stems from forgetting to uninstall certain packages before upgrading, more on that later)
That was possible because the log actually doesn’t hold relevant information for the forum to work. It just records each step, probably for moderation purposes. Once I had done that step the upgrade script was finally able to proceed.
There were a few more errors where I had to look at what the script was doing, find the corresponding code in the sources and edit the database myself. Thankfully the code is relatively well commented and named, so I was able to find what I needed.
Finally I got the upgrade script to run to the end and I was actually able to open the forums (local) page. I hadn’t been able to for now so it was a first. But a lot of stuff was still missing, like all the topics. I could see that the posts were back, but not sorted correctly.
The fix was simple but annoying. The forum framework comes with a repair_setting.php file which I had run several times to fix all the paths, but apparently it didn’t fix *all* of them. So back to the database I went, ran some queries and fixed them myself.
Then the forum finally worked again!
(This is what the forum looked like when I first opened it. It ONLY had recent posts)
(The working local forum, no files yet with the default theme. Seems wrong to look at GOS without the dark theme, right?)
There were still a few things I needed to fix but the database seemed to work fine now. I had never done so many queries in my life. I know SQL, and had to fix databases before but not this intensely. So I guessed I learned something new haha.
Next was the exciting step to upload my clean install to the server. @fireflowersims and I had some directory issues, but I was able to fix them manually once again.
Then I had to take a look at the files which mostly consist of avatars and attachments. They didn’t work at all once moved to the clean install. Once again I took a look at the code and realized that the upgrade script would have changed those files as well, but because I ran it on a clean install it didn’t actually do this step.
I didn’t want to run the upgrade script again, worried that it would mess up a now working database. Instead I wrote a script myself that sorted through all the attachments, looked for the IDs of the avatars from the database so it could move and rename them.
Last were the attachments. This was an easier fix. They just had to be given the ending .dat. @fireflowersims ran a command through the console and then the attachments worked too!
We were getting closer!
Next was the theme. The old theme didn’t work on the modern framework anymore so @fireflowersims looked for a new one which I customized with CSS, trying to get it closer to the way the forum looked before. I think it turned out quite alright, hope you guys think so too!
(Trying to find out what CSS class addresses what? Make everything red and green!)
(All the spider webs)
Next was packages, or mods, to the framework. Fire and I encountered some hiccups here too, since there were some leftovers in the database. The packages hadn’t been properly deinstalled before running the upgrade script, which was another source of the errors. I tried fixing them manually but one of the packages would continue to just break the site no matter what I tried, so we settled for an alternative.
Some more work was put into SSL and making the forum secure. Once again some settings seemed to just break the page and each time I had to go back in the database and manually fix what had gone wrong. It was tedious but by now I knew my way around quite well.
@fireflowersims handled a lot of the server administrative work and DNS settings. I know very little about that part so having @fireflowersims there was great and they made sure the page is reachable at the correct address.
So yeah, I hope the site stays online for a long time now. It’s such a big part of our community and communities history. I used to download so much from there when I was younger. I wanted to give back to the community I love so much. That was the reason I spent many many hours digging through code and old forum threads.
I know Jellypaws, casualsims, leosims and sonyasims use AI for their previews/cc or wtv but I know there’s more people I just don’t know who. Does anyone have a list?
Okay, so I gathered some who either use AI for their previews/meshes. Also please note that this is just a list that I was making for myself so I could avoid these creators. I did not intend for this to be seen as a call out post, bc that was not my intention. If it were a callout post then I would @ these people. This list is only to inform you guys on who to avoid/be wary of!!
Jellypaws - AI previews and meshes
Casualsims - AI previews. Meshes idk
Sonyasims - AI previews. Meshes idk
Pixelvibes - AI previews and meshes
ddarkstonee - AI previews and meshes
Dustyrat - They used to use it for their previews, but no longer do. Mesh no ai usage there ❌
pastelpaws/xxxtigger/pasteltigger - uses AI for previews last I checked
ironvolt545 - I am going to assume their meshes use AI or they use AI to “help” them “create”
sims3melancholic - has used AI as a reference for those “highly realistic” skins they have recently made (they still used AI either way even if they used it as a reference ‼️‼️)
Cowbuild - AI previews and meshes
Leosims - AI previews. Meshes are directly from gumroad/other 3D model sites.
Cluttercat - they use AI for their artwork/painting cc’s. Mesh idk, but I would assume they do since they use AI images for their cc paintings!
Rubyred/casa dutti (same person) - AI previews. Mesh idk
Sims4life - AI previews. Mesh idk. They could be using AI to generate pictures for their paintings/artwork cc or downloading AI images off Pinterest!!
Daonworks - AI previews unknown. Meshes are AI
Syboulette - They used to use AI textures in the past but they no longer use it !!
Swimwearsprada - AI previews idk. Meshes are AI. You can read more HERE
Scodee Yodee - AI previews idk. Meshes are AI (older stuff is fine, only their newer stuff uses it)
dumbburgergirl - uses Al for that bubble font in their previews. Could also be using AI for some of the furniture they make
Roxxysim - AI previews. Meshes idk
creamlattedream - AI previews no usage there ❌ Uses AI generated textures for meshes
Skinfolk - Just look at their patreon. It’s quite obvious they use AI….LMAO I would also like to say that LifeLike-Simz and Skinfolk are most definitely the same person !!
Plumbelle - suspicious “new creator” using the words “NOT AI” they have since deleted the post and changed it to where it does not say the words “NOT AI”This person is suspected to be Pixelvibes
s-club - AI previews (on newer cc) Mesh idk.
robertaplobo - still unsure if they use AI for their previews, but just to be safe I’ll put them on here!
jomsims - has used AI photos as swatches. Mesh idk.
mychqqq - AI previews (on newer cc). Mesh idk
abbypiggg - They use AI for their cc paintings/artwork
aggressivekitty - They use AI for their Meshes along with the artwork/picture cc they make
fatalrosecfeations - this person doesn’t seem to be active, but they have said HERE that they have used AI textures/images for their cc
Harrie - They have admitted to using AI for their artworks/painting cc. Meshes idk.
Snotra.92 - AI previews and Meshes
Schnuddl.CC - AI previews. Mesh idk
mhm if I have anything wrong or needs to be corrected please do let me know!!! I don’t want to be spreading misinformation 😭🙏
Edit: Forgot to mention that if anyone has more names let me know so that I can put them here!! Edit: Can you let me know if it’s previews or meshes or both that use AI? Please and thank you !! Edit: If you have any evidence/link to a post where the creator has admitted to using AI please link it in the comments or send me a DM, thank you!!!
Welp, here we go. Let’s shape this to be different.
Comment here.
Update - As of 5/28/2026 Plumlace has blocked me and others. That is the only comment I made and it had more than 30+ notes on it last I saw. Please keep momentum. We've got this.
i had the post open in a tab and was able to grab these

okay here it goes… I’m releasing my first ever legacy challenge that I thought would never happen lol. I firstly wanted to create this challenge to give myself a path on where to begin, to find love & enjoyment for this game again...for those who will be giving my legacy a chance to shine thank you for your support please tag me on tumblr or youtube! #threadoffatelegacy or #tof I cannot wait to see what you do!
Summary: Threads of Fate is a 10 generation legacy challenge where every life is shaped by the one before it, weaving together a story of chaos, growth, and transformation. Each generation carries the weight of its family’s past whether through inherited struggles, emotional wounds, or unfulfilled dreams you must decide whether your sims will follow that path or break free from it. Through a balance of structured goals and randomized elements, your Sims are pushed into dramatic relationships, difficult choices, and life-altering moments. A spin-the-wheel system introduces unexpected twists, ensuring that no two legacies unfold the same way. Control is never fully yours fate always has a hand in the outcome!!!
Threads of Fate Wheel (must spin 1-3x per sim week, you can skip if you can’t do the tasks but if you can and want to forcefully skip, you must face the punishment wheel)
Thread of Punishment Wheel (must spin 1-2x, and face punishments)

Right, so, after reading some error logs, obtaining a copy of the objects.package that shipped with the Sims 2 rerelease, and talking about this with Lazy Duchess, I have a conspiracy theory about why the rerelease is so damn broken
So first, I looked at an error log that was happening in the Enthusiasm Tracker. It was coming from the function that signs sims up for a magazine subscription after they choose that option on the phone. It's a very short function, all it does is 1) check to see if the family has a magazine subscription token, 2) create one if it does not already exist, and 3) set a property on the token regardless of whether 2 was necessary or not. All three of these actions make use of the Manage Inventory primitive, which controls not just sim inventories, but also tokens like this, memories, and gossip. I compared all like five lines of this function to the one in my objects.package, that I have from the Ultimate Collection, and they were exactly the same. But for some reason, in the rerelease, this throws an error. There is no explanation at the level of this function. I kind of scratched my head and thought, maybe they changed how the magazine subscription token works in this version, and forgot to update this function? Or something?
Next, there was an Too Many Iterations error log that had a very obvious cause: for some reason, the active family had over 500 tokens in its inventory. The family inventory isn't listed in the error log, so have no idea what those tokens were, or how there came to be 500+ of them. BUT. The aforementioned magazine subscription token is a token that goes in the family inventory. Maybe these two problems are somehow related. Are those 500 tokens all magazine subscription tokens, or something?
And then there is the infamous error that the game now throws when a sim goes to get abducted. I didn't see an error log for this one, but I was making a post on MTS listing all of the known issues with the rerelease, and someone mentioned there that the issue is not so much with the abduction as it is with other sims reacting to the abduction, and if there are no sims on the lot to react to the abduction, the error does not occur. Someone else then mentioned that the Abduction Reaction Fix mod that I made actually fixes this error. I made that mod, I know exactly what it does. What does it do?
Well, you see, objects in the game all have what is called a tree table, which is a table of interactions and the functions that need to be called when those interactions are triggered. One of the interactions on the telescope is the interaction to run to the telescope after someone has been abducted. But, in the Free Time expansion, a lot of new interactions were added to the telescope, and for some reason, EA decided to renumber all of the functions when they did that. They forgot to update the tree table, which references functions by their numbers, and as a result, the function that was called when sims were supposed to do the run-to-telescope interaction was actually the function that gives sims credit for discovering a new planet. In my mod, I fixed this, so that when sims are supposed to run to the telescope, the proper run-to-the-telescope function is called instead.
So, the error happens when my mod is not installed (when the planet discovery function is being called erroneously) and not when it is (when the run-to-the-telescope function is called instead). So the error must be coming from the planet discovery function. What is in the planet discovery function? It is almost identical to the magazine subscription function. It checks for the planet discovery token, adds it if it isn't there, and then modifies a property on it, using Manage Inventory. So this is exact same bug. And other people are reporting that some sims cannot gain memories - another game function that is handled by Manage Inventory. There is also an error that happens after a sim cooks food - one thing that happens at that point is that tokens and memories are added to the sim's inventory marking that they have successfully (or unsuccessfully) learned to cook that food.
So at this point, my theory is that EA somehow broke the Manage Inventory primitive. It's used all over the code, to do all sorts of stuff, if you break something that ubiquitous and fundamental, of course it's going to cause a whole lot of seemingly completely unrelated errors. Manage Inventory is now going hog-wild, throwing errors, adding hundreds of extraneous tokens to inventories, refusing to give sims memories, and who knows what else. I can feel it, this is the answer
Okay, this is it, this is your notice, its time if you haven't already, delete your account, delete your X account now, stop what you are doing and delete it, delete the app from your phone, now.
X serves the political interests of one man, Elon Musk
