Ren's Sims 3 Warriors

I'm sharing this here since I think it could reach more folks in the Warriors community who could provide some insight- but basically, in my ongoing Sims 3 Warriors challenge called "Clans of the Island," one of the biggest issues has been how the clans live super isolated lives, and living on an island pretty much cut off from the world beyond doesn't exactly help. And now, there's two deaf kits in two different clans, and as of right now they're the only deaf cats on the island. So I'm trying to figure out how to handle the communication gap and how these kits adapt in a way that's respectful of the irl deaf community and also makes sense for their world.

I've tried doing research, but everything I can find is about writing deaf humans or training deaf pets, which only helps on a surface level but these are fictional wild cats in an extremely isolated community, which there obviously aren't really any sources for.

There's more information in the linked post, along with some of my brainstorming, so if anyone has any input I'd love to know your thoughts! (the post is public btw, no membership needed)

I've also found my old save for the challenge I posted here (which I've been calling the Scattered Seeds story) so if anyone were to want to see me continue it somehow... I can see if I can get it running again!

I'm not the one making the mod, that would be @echoweaver. I just use their mods in my games to add some extra flavor to my series.

Making the warriors honestly took a bit of practice. Best I can say is mess around with layers, opacity, and subtle changes. If you have a striped cat, try an extra layer of different types of stripes, maybe in a slightly different color. If you have a solid colored cat, try some subtle markings in a similar color to give their pelt a more textured look.

Making the game itself look good depends entirely on what you mean. If you mean the graphics, I'd say mess with your settings and see what your computer can handle. If you mean the lots, try messing around with the "moveobjects on" cheat, and holding down the alt key while you place plants and rocks. You can mash some rocks together, or different types of plants, and it'll look more unique than the default. I personally love to tuck ferns and small plants around large boulders so it looks like they're growing out of the cracks. Again, this has taken a bit of practice, and you might have to learn what cats will and will not interact with if it's too close to plants and rocks.
