Y'all were dirty minded when it came to plants and rocks... *lmao*

I swear one day I'll figure out why the hell I'm locked out of speedtree. I haven't been able to run the program since I had to reinstall.

Well... if anyone needs me, I'm going to be spending the next week resorting all the new stuff I've *mass downloaded* in the last few days, lol.

The Merchants are HERE! These are my gifts to you as we celebrate opening the new Market!

Presenting three rabbit-hole ships for your Villages!

Merchant Ship - Grocery Store

War Ship - Military

Pirate Ship - Criminal

[You can swap the script out for any rabbit hole that you need. Just be sure to build a bigger port!]

All ships are around 14K, but remember they are rabbit holes - so it shouldn't harm your game at all to have a few - it's no different than any other world with rabbit hole buildings.

The ships float on water but can be placed on land as well. The "door" is near the anchor. If the ship is in water, the sim will simply swim to it. No lot is needed for the ship to perform as usual.

_____________________________________________________________

The second item I have for you is a Merchant wagon!

The wagon performs the same way as the humble harvest stands - and it has slots! I've tested several items and it seems hit or miss whether you can interact with the objects inside the wagon, but either way it's cute and functional! Not lot is needed for them to perform - you can place them anywhere around your world to have easy access for food and supplies!

You can swap the script out for ani's OFB stand if you would prefer that instead!

These will be in my warehouse at the Market!

Thank you everyone who has joined us so far! The server looks great!!

Is this the sims three world? What world is this and where can I find it?

It is not - I used an image I saved for inspo to catch attention. However, if this isn't GOALS I don't know what is! I'm hoping to recreate it for my world here soon!

The Market is up and running!

There is already a host of content to explore, and we're only a few days in! Feel free to join us as we continue to share new, old, and archived content from around the community.

Have an older but favorite piece of content that your game just couldn't live without? Drop a link and share it with the Village! Have something new you finished and want to share? Bring it along!

We look forward to seeing you there!

* Village Event Announcement *

Market Day at TS3 Medieval Market

This Saturday (February 22, --25), saddle your horses, load up your wagons, and head on down to the new Market to sell, buy, trade and barter your goods with other Villagers!

[This is a free event involving no real currency, just downloads]

The Tavern & Inn (Storytelling, Show & Tell, Discussions)

            The Tavern always has some sort of story to tell or news to share amongst the locals, but perhaps a new tale would be nice? Share your adventures with the Village as you have a meal, sit by the campfire, and people of all ages and walks of life listen to tales of woe and foreboding, folklore, songs and dancing. Of course, say hello to your friends and catch up on the local gossip before you leave!  

The Market (All the CC Categories)

            There’s so much to acquire in the market that it might take a while to see everything! Make sure to ask around, people are always happy to point you in the right direction.

Have you tired of looking at the same old items around your home? There’s a stall for default replacements to help give your belongings a fresh look!

Need to upgrade or improve something? Mods will have what you’re looking for.

This Village doesn’t suit you anymore? Ask about worlds-caw, and start planning your move.

Love the Village, hate the house? There might be rentals available at lots.

A busted fence, a broken window and a squeaky door… You need build, they’ll craft something custom for you!

New furniture and home décor will be over in the buy stall.

Oh, my dear… that hair… and the young Lady will be needing a new dress for the season… of to CAS with you both!

The Castle is looking for staff. Find work in Careers.

Need someone to help around the farm? Find a helping hand in SIMS.

This horse is lame, the stable will be able to help you buy a new horse, there might be pets for sale as well.  

Looking for textiles, lumber or stone? Oh yes, you’ll find those over in patterns.

What’s that lovely smell? That must be recipes-ingredients!

Our barn is cluttered with old holiday decorations… let’s free some space and dump it off at the holiday stall to resell!

Cargo (Requests, Conversions, Tutorials, Trades, and more!)

Have something you can’t find, but want? Are you willing to trade or barter? I’m sure someone will be willing to make a deal!

You could also ask in cc-requests, or the suggestion box. I’m sure there are people looking for ideas in collaborations as well.

Wanting to host an event in the Village? Put it up on the board at challenges-events.

Have too much to carry by wagon? Request a warehouse and you can store all of your stuff there! You can also explore other warehouses, just make sure not to leave your own cargo there!

Vendors

The Village Market thrives on sales and purchases alike! Be sure to come with something of value, or the merchandise may run out sooner than you’d like!

Remember, the Market accepts newly crafted items, sentimental favorites from the past, and everything in between! Just make sure not to sell granny’s quilt without permission, or we’ll all be in trouble!

See you there!

Note: There is a poll going in the "Market Day" forum over on TS3 Medieval Market!

Join us here before this weekend: https://discord.gg/e6skNu9t

______________________________________________________________

Hello, lovelies!

We're starting to see new members pop into the Market! It's so good to see all that have joined thus far!

_____________________________________________________________

An exciting update I wanted to share with everyone is that I've purchased Nitro for the year! The server will allow up to 50MG (per file) uploads until at least next year! So if you have bigger zip files that you would like to upload to the Market, it's open! Just pick your category and drop it in.

Links back to SFS, mediafire or Tumblr are always welcome as well - it doesn't have to be a direct upload. That's just one of the options.

____________________________________________________________

The second thing, much less exciting - but still fun - is that I made a few custom emojis for us to use in the market! Just to make it a bit more whimsical / medieval!

They're just typical reactions, but I thought it would be fun to see people sending coins or cheering with tankards when they're excited about content!

_____________________________________________________________

Last but not least, get ready for *Market Day*

I uploaded a few simple patterns to start off the Market! The brick is one I made a while back for my own game. The two wood patterns are from "Ayuff" over on TSR. They're much older, but only had the pattern going in one direction, so I made the match. Enjoy!

Found on TS3 Medieval Market > Patterns!

Hello, my lovelies! Today I would like to talk about an opportunity for our beloved medieval (and historic) TS3 community!

Interested? Well, I guess let’s get into it and see how far it goes.

Why Discord, rather than a Tumblr Community or a personal page?

That’s a great question – and one that might be better explored as time goes on. However, here are a few perks that I’ve noticed.

1: A discord server as a download market presents an ideal solution by combining accessibility, organization, and engagement.

2: Organization – less scattered forums/websites. Discord allows structured categories and channels to keep content well-organized. We have the option to create additional channels or categories to keep content separated – so there’s less confusion when people stop using a tag, or add a new one that other’s aren’t tracking. There are also transferable roles assigned by moderators, so if someone wants to leave – there is no data lost, and the server stays active as usual.

3: Direct downloads – requiring no additional host/server. If you’re a part of the creator discord pages, then you’ll notice there is a hoard of available downloads that bypass the need to go to an alternate download site. Creators can upload their content directly into the appropriate category.

4: Discord servers have little to no spam bots (that I’ve noticed, anyway), and if there are issues, it’s relatively easy to remove those pests and keep the community protected.

5: By centralizing downloads in a dedicated server, creators can upload their content, receive immediate feedback, and build faster relationships with their community, and followers can immediately engage, comment, or download. Discord mimics Tumblr in that it allows for real-time interactions, sneak peeks, polls, events and more.

Here's what I've established so far inside the server:

A welcome channel established for people to drop into the server, and members to say hello!

More channels to host discussions, show off real life/other games/hobbies/etc. And of course, everything TS3 - because we like seeing people play!

All the "Market" tabs you could want! (And if it's not there, we'll add it to the list - free of charge lol)

The "Cargo" section mimics the creator discords a bit in that it allows you to ask WCIFs, make CC requests, trade and barter another member/creator for CC (I.E - swap CAS for BUILD/BUY items, etc), start collab projects, and more.

I highly recommend also keeping up to date with the other creator discords, there's already so much activity there!

_____________________________________________________________

Is the market meant to replace Tumblr pages, other creator discords, or personal pages?

Absolutely not! As we all know, there are many Tumblr pages/websites/servers dedicated to the TS3 community at large. Ts3 has thrived for so long partly because it has such a dedicated modding community, and hosts player-made content. However, distributing and protecting all of the content effectively while also fostering a sense of community is challenging. There has been a massive amount of effort put into the community through wonderful pages such as @katsujiiccfinds and @pis3update, (as well as all the other CC pages out there), I am personally a member of two creator discords that have been essential to me as I’ve learned to create, and now tumblr is exploring the new community options. However, the fallback of this is that hosts get burnt out, stop creating themselves, or abandon pages/websites all the time. There are many of these “ghosts” haunting Tumblr as we speak – though we all love a good comeback story, so to those who have returned, or will return, we all welcome you back with wide open arms! Right? Right! Huzzah! The point is, this discord is not meant to replace any of these options, but it might help us find a centralized location.

Modern/electrical CC will be booed – but possibly tolerated lol

This Discord is being opened as of right now – so don’t be surprised if you pop in and there’s no CC yet. These things take time – Rome wasn’t built in a day.

You will need a Discord account to follow the invite!

Paid only content will not be allowed on this discord. If you would like to upload paid content - you can always start free servers on Discord! When your content is free - absolutely feel free to add it to the market!

See you there! (Please let me know if there are any link issues!)

These have been on my wish list for a long time! Being a medieval/historical player, I've always had a file full of cc candles that I use everywhere in my game; while I definitely have my favorites, I was still looking for the "perfect" ones. After poking around for a while I think I got pretty close to what I was looking for.

This is one of my manor rooms. It's midnight outside (thank the lord for the set hour cheat), and there are only four or five candles lit, yet the room is well lit and cozy. It's a 5x9 room I believe.

Same room and time, but with all the candles lit. It's bright, and probably warm in there at this point.

The best part about these candles in particular, in my opinion, is that they're real candles with a flame. @zoeoe-sims provided me with an amazing override script that allows the sims to recognize that there's light in the room, and removed the "dark" moodlet requiring you to put a real light somewhere in the room.

Additionally, I edited the lighting to have a warm candle color rather than white, and raised the brightness settings considerably.

Per usual, I added in plenty of extra textures for variety, and wound up having some beautiful results. You can apply any pattern you have in the game to the first texture slot, or simply recolor them to your preference.

If you don't want to go around lighting / extinguishing candles everywhere, I made an additional set that acts as a regular light. There won't be a flame, however, unless you have @omedapixel's candle mod (found on the making sims 3 medieval discord) which I highly recommend! I'll also be posting a separate file over there with her script enabled if you're interested.

I think that's about it. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
