Do not claim as your own or reupload

there is some slight issues with the uv but i quite literally couldnt get it to be any different. let me know if there are any issues that i did not catch!

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 you’re 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 there’s 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 it’s 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.

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 🥰🥰
