Sims 3 Mod/CC Reblogs

A mod that I have been developing for a while that changes things related to showtime ep: Npc shows, simfests and show stages

Recommended mod: Nraas register is recommended to make this mod function as expected

-Things Changed-

NPC Show Manager:

This is the feature that inactive performers will regularly schedule shows and tips daily.

-Will no longer create new performers. Whether a show will be scheduled depends on available residents and existing venues

-Instead of sending performers at 1 am, the performer will be sent to set up the stage 1 hr before the performance (and on clock). The map tag will only show if the performer successfully set up the stage.

-The isNPCShowScheduled check will be changed to false if the last schedule time already passed, allowing a new one to be scheduled.

-Inactives could be randomly send to perform tips on the street between 6 am(kPerformanceCareerTipStartTime) and 5 pm (kPerformanceCareerTipEndTime)everyday. I don't know why inactive sims won't receive the fatigue moodlet that supposed to stop it, so I created a new interaction for NPC with a timed stage, so that the performers will stop performing for tips depends on their fatigue level.

-Will not happen on simfest days.

-Could be disabled with kEnableNPCShows and kNPCPerformForTip in the tuning

Simfests:

-Completely removed the level restriction for inactive performers.

-Instead of calling performers once at the start and wait endlessly until someone on the venue is vaild to perform, the alarm will continue to fire the task to call performers to the venue.

-The minimum performers for simfests could be changed with kMinPerformerForSimfest (default 3). If there's not enough performers left in town to perform, a new sim will be created. These sims will be sent home at 1 am. They will be deleted by nraas register regularly if they do not hold special roles or have high relationship with the active family. *There's an issue that they will be immediately deleted on reload, I haven't yet find a solution for this*

-SImfest will end early if the completed contestents count equals kMinPerformerForSimfest.

-There is a interaction called "challenge for performance duel", which active performers can challenge others in simfests. However, the restriction was too hard to meet, so I removed the level restriction which makes active sims can challenge any performers that's level 1 or higher. This interaction is also avaliable on phone; I revemped the menu so that active sims can call any valid candiates to the venue. Sim who was challenged will visit the venue normally instead of taking a limo from the edge of the world.

-Can be disable with kSimfests

Show Venue Interactions:

-A new interaction called "Perform a Show" is added to all show venues in the world. This interaction simply allow sims to progress the career and skill in a rabbit hole. This interaction is avaliable on level 3. (kLevelToPerformInRabbitHole). The result of the performance will always be great though.

-Inactive performers will be regularly tried(kChanceToGoToRabbitHole) and sent to rabbit hole at 2 pm, so they will progress their careers(kNPCPerformInRabbitHole). The break days are Tuesday and Thursday(kDayForPerformersToWork).

-Active sims will perform for 3 hours(kTimeToPerformInRabbitHole), inactive sims will perform for 4 hours(kTimeToPerformInRabbitHoleNPC).

Setup Stage:

-Ability to set up stage for different type of instruments other than DJ booth: Guitar, Snake Charming Basket, Bass, Drum, Keyboard, Grand piano, Lazer Harp, Violin. Requires skill level 1. Performer will receive tips depends on their skill level. An instrument needs to be available in the personal or family inventory.

-To set up the stage for band, the sim needs to be in a band. The instruments will be cloned from sim's inventory, else a new one will be created on stage.

*Issue1- Do not have moveobjects on when exiting build buy mode

*Issue2- I was unable to stop other sims from joining the jam session, you can delete the instruments not needed.

Role DJ:

-Hire a DJ role sim from DJ booths on community lot with the "hire npc dj" interaction (requires testing cheats on)

-The DJ booth will be invisible in live mode, so type "DJMarker on" to show and access the object

-Sims will dance at the DJ booth instead of staring and requesting tracks...

Band Gigs:

-A new interacton called "audition for band gigs" is available on the proprietor (or bartender with 4 instruments on lot).

- Whether the audition is successful depends on the amount of gig played (no strict caculations on skill level etc.)

This mod is still in beta, and I hope to fix or add more things in the future!

I call this part 2 of the DXVK tutorial I followed by Nornities. If you're like me and have problems with anisotropic filtering being enabled in your custom graphics card settings panel and it used to work in your game to now having blurry textures after installing DXVK I figured out the solution. I tried getting help and I have searched everywhere. Nobody had answers which got frustrating. I didn't want to remove DXVK because I could tell it was helping, but I also didn't want ugly, low resolution graphics.

Follow these steps: 1. Open file explorer and go to where your game is installed. Mine is (C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin).

2. Once you are in the bin folder keep scrolling down until you see the dxvk.conf file. Right click and open in notepad to edit.

3. Enable anisotropic filtering by typing in d3d9.samplerAnisotropy = 16. Mine is set to 16, but you can choose what intensity you want. This is what my file looks like.

Updates / New patches

Fixed an incredible "bug" w/ Direct3D9, S3SS should now no longer use 200mb~ randomly… This took me ohh... several days to track down.

Updated dependencies, mimalloc being a notable one

New/merged Lot Streaming Optimization patch and new object throttling patch which is really cool and good and you should enable them all

Add aligned-alloc family support to mimalloc just in case

A big 4k LoC (I am mentally unwell) update to S3MM is also coming soon-ish, with the imgui API coming shortly after. It'll come with a very janky mod conflict viewer that I plan to improve upon sometime in the future (very WIP atm like the rest of the side-features!). Once the imgui API drops I'll then probably move it out of beta and start releasing the patches I've written using it.

Lately, it feels like everything I've been building is brick, concrete, and steel. As much as I love Rossmere's urban aesthetic, I was craving a change of pace.

Últimamente siento que todo lo que construyo es ladrillo, cemento y acero. Por mucho que me encante el rollito urbano de Rossmere, necesitaba cambiar un poco de aires.

A few days ago, I had the loveliest conversation with @blueplayssims (thank you again, sweetheart 💙), and it made me completely fall in love with the rustic charm of Champs Les Sims—especially with the idea of how beautiful it could be with just a little extra polish.

Hace unos días tuve una conversación de lo más inspiradora con @blueplayssims (gracias de nuevo, bombón 💙), y consiguió que me enamorase por completo del encanto campestre de Champs Les Sims y, sobre todo, de lo encantador que podria llegar a ser si solo se "estilizara" un poco.

I couldn't get the idea out of my head... so I finally gave in.

No conseguía quitarme la idea de la cabeza... así que acabé cediendo.

And this is the result.

Y este es el resultado.

Honestly, I think it's one of those homes that makes you want to pack your bags and move in the moment you see it 😭

Finally, after almost a month of waiting in the queue, MTS approved my Ultimate Object Overhaul mod!

Fixes the categories and subcategories of thousands of objects.

Sorts objects by size, type and function within subcategories.

Fixes slot placement and wall placement of all objects.

Adds dozens of new objects to the Catalog, including new rewards.

Adds all the SimPort rewards to the catalog and fixes the sorting.

Add tons of new objects to the Edit in Town category.

You can read the entire description and install instruction following the link below!

Yeah, I know I'm mostly posting writing-related ramblings, but since I have this profile anyway, might as well post modding stuff, too.

I've made this back in 2023 and kinda forgot about it until someone at the Creators Cave reminded me that I posted it for testing :D

Sure, there are other hospital mods by now, but I liked this one above others and wanted to see it work correctly again. So I decompiled it and fixed it up.

Note #1: as far as I can tell, most claims about this mod being "dangerous for your save" are myths. And all the broken interactions are now fully functional.

Make backups if you're worried and let me know if you encounter any bugs!

Here's the actual mod link:

Note #2: absolutely 100% requires Battery's C# Utility. You can find it here:

Since SimsMX hasn't been seen for... well over 12 years, as far as I can tell, I can't really know his feelings about updates to his mod, so I'm posting it here instead of more 'official channels'. If he ever comes back, he can... have my code changes or whatever he likes. Mod's still effectively his, my changes are moderate.

Now, for some pics:

Hey everyone, here's another spicy experimental thingy from me. Emphasis: experimental. Please back up your saves! I haven't found any issues, but you should err on the safe side!

I'm resisting the urge to write this description as a winding story about why this thing exists and how so here's as quick a rundown as I can manage:

This is an ASI mod (like Smooth Patch or Settings Setter) that goes into your Bin folder and does its thing at runtime.

Depending on your setup, it might significantly speed up loading times from game launch to in-world. In one of my saves, it went down from over 18 minutes down to between 3 and 4.

It should also reduce memory usage (specifically, the 'virtual address space'--the real reason for Error 12 and memory-related crashes). How much depends on your setup, but it could be up to several hundred MB.

In-game stutters and especially multi-minute freezes (if you experience those) should be shorter and fewer overall. Not gone, but much more playable.

This mainly works on retail and Steam versions of the game. Many of the patches won't activate on EA App version. You can still use it, and might still reap some benefits, but the strongest patches aren't supported yet. It's in the pipeline, though, so stay tuned.

You need an ASI loader for the mod to load (like the wininet.dll from Ultimate ASI loader). If you use any other ASI mod, like Smooth Patch or Settings Setter, you likely already have it.

SPECIAL THANKS:

sims3fiend et al for Sims 3 Settings Setter. This mod started out as a "Settings Setter lite" for personal use because Setter proper added a little too much VAS for my bloated save's liking. But all the S3SS patches are removed from this release version. You can use them together freely if you want all the patches.

Also, here's the number that's your real enemy:

👑 Accessories are often what turns a simple outfit into a character's signature look. These sliders will help you adjust your favorite jewelry and accessories exactly the way you want.

* Thanks to a shared game engine and similar file structure, many sliders from The Sims 3 work perfectly in The Sims Medieval. These sliders are compatible with TSM.

Hey! I'm going to walk you through creating your own pattern using the Pattern Tool in TSRW. This tutorial works for both Sims 3 and Sims Medieval - the tools are the same for both games.

🎨 WE'LL NEED:

TSRW

A graphics editor — Photoshop, Paint.net, or any other

Sims3Pack Multi Installer - Converts files from .sims3pack to .package format

1. Creating the image Start by making a 256x256 image using only Red, Green, and Blue. If you want a fourth color, you can use the Alpha channel (I'll show you how to create such an image in the notes at the end of this guide). Save your image as PNG, DDS, or BMP.

❗ Do not use images that contain colors other than pure Red, Green, or Blue. Otherwise, they will become distorted when recolored in-game.

2. LAUNCH AND CREATE A NEW PATTERN Open TSRW. In the top menu, go to Tools and select Pattern Tool - the pattern creation window will open.

THE SIMS 3 STORE PRE-INSTALLED

Today marks 25 years of The Sims. Since EA forgot TS3 exists, I’m releasing the entire The Sims 3 Store as an Anniversary Gift. It's all pre-installed and works flawlessly!

It comes with all available fixes and collection folders I’ve personally created for every set. You'll get over 5000 new Buy/Build and CAS items, 11 new worlds, and tons of new gameplay!

INSTRUCTIONS

Go to "Documents/Electronic Arts" and rename the "The Sims 3" folder (or move it).

Create a new folder and name it "The Sims 3" (or whatever the name is in your language).

Extract the contents of the ZIP file in "The Sims 3." Now launch the game.

You'll have to adjust your setting again. Don't forget to disable the in-game Store so you don't get duplicates.

Quit the game. Copy the "Saves" folder from the folder you have previously renamed. You can also copy your Mods and CC in package format.

CAUTION

Never copy over or overwrite the DCCache folder.

If you have content installed through the Launcher (Sims3Pack), you'll have to reinstall it.

I strongly recommend you don't install things through the Launcher from now. It already has a lot of content and it is a known fact the Launcher becomes more and more unstable the more content it has to handle.

Since the entire Store has been decrapified, if you want to install lots or world that contain Store content, you'll have to decrapify those too using MATY's TS3 Recompressor.

I had a report that there was an invisible top in CAS. It doesn't seem to have a CASP resource so it shouldn't cause any issues (like being assigned to a random Sim). It's best to avoid it or hide it or blacklist it using NRaas mods. Do NOT try to save the game while your Sim is "wearing" this invisible top.

UPDATE #1: MARCH 2025

Added some missing content: the Mother Russia CAS Set and the Cool Chap Cap that was given as a secret bonus item in the "Make Me an Offer" page. If there's something else missing, please let me now.

Now NRaas MasterController and the Cheats and Integration modules are included in the pack. This version NRaas MC comes with CAS Compact Mode enabled by default. This should fix the issue of blank/invisible CAS items and also speed up the loading of CAS items. Keep in mind, these mods aren't compatible with Lazy Duchess' Smooth Path, but you can have both. Her mod will automatically disable the fast loading of CAS items.

If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to me. I've put a lot of effort into making the installation process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Dag Dag!
