Hullo! I come bearing gifts in the form of not-crunchy music notes.
When @papermint-airplane put out a call to see if anyone knew of a replacement for the music notes that emanate from musical instruments in TS3, I immediately wanted to make one, since I've always hated how awful the texture looks, and I've never seen a replacement for them. Previews are below (make sure to click on the images for the full size versions, as Tumblr of course screws up the quality of them).
These are upscaled 5x from the vanilla version and partially hand-painted (i.e. I traced over the very pixelated vanilla notes at a higher res, but they are slightly different than the originals) and Compressorized. You can pop these in your Packages folder, and they should work fine with any other headline effect replacements (I tested with this one specifically and had no issue, despite S3Dash flagging it as a conflict), but if you're unsure, stick this file in your Overrides folder instead.

download on patreon (early access) (public release - 09/05/24) I managed to make reading animation override 2.0, with different poses for different genders and places!
standard version with 8 reading poses
extended version with 10 reading poses
also, all the bugs from previous overrides have been fixed, no one will fall into a bar stool anymore and sims will be able to read on a rocking chair with normal animation, etc.
reading poses on dining chairs:
reading poses on sofas:
reading poses on beds:
reading poses at the table:
reading poses on living chairs:
in the standard version of the override, which will be available to everyone on september 5th: reading poses on living chairs are the same as on sofas
in the extended version of the override, which is available to subscribers from $5, the following poses on living chairs are also added:
I'm very happy that I was able to fix my previous overrides and expand them so much! write if you have any questions or problems.
By popular demand, I am releasing this default. But be warned, the installation process requires SimPE!
You can download SimPE here if you don't have it.
Download the files below and put them in your downloads. Use clean installer to install the Paris Hilton sim.
Go into your neighborhood and create Paris Hilton in CAS via the downloaded sim
Close the game
Open SimPE and click Ctrl + Shift + N
Choose your neighborhood, click Open, wait for it to load, then go to Tools > Neighborhood > Sim Surgery
Make sure the Service Sims box at the top of the window is checked and scroll down to find a sim named "Repo Man"
Click on the Repo Man sim and then click Use within the Patient Sim box on the right
Then, scroll up to find your Paris Hilton sim. Click on Paris Hilton and click Use within the Archetype Sim box on the right
Click Surgery
You will have to do steps 6-9 for each repo-man in your neighborhood if you don't have antiredundancy.
You will have to do steps 2-9 for each neighborhood you want a Paris Hilton repo-man in.
FAQ and credits below the cut
Is this safe? > idk, probably
What happens if I just download the files and don't do steps 2-9? > you'll have the car and gun defaults but Paris won't be the repo-man
Did you know that Paris Hilton never actually wore a shirt that said "Stop Being Poor"? > yep
Simpe is confusing me > see this tutorial with pictures that shows how to use sim surgery, should help!

as someone who dls a lot of cc from a lot of places, i’ve had to take a LOT of precaution when it comes to safety online for those pesky short links that infect ur computer with random garbage. here are the extensions i personally use to bypass most shitty linkage
disclaimer: please don’t come to me and tell me im taking money from creators by using these extensions. if you want to click on adfly links, go ahead! this is just for the people who don’t. also, don’t take these links as a get out of jail free card for online safety. people are crafty. use common sense to avoid getting a virus. this will just lower your chances of getting a virus, or just save you some annoyance.
adblock plus- p much the most popular extension out there. i use it on all sites even outside of cc downloading. sadly a lot of sites are taking action against adblock, adding counters to their links, or even keeping you from accessing the site at all. it’s easy to disable the extension for single sites though, or you can just leave the site altogether. still, adblock is incredibly useful!
the rest of these extensions are for the google chrome webstore. im sure there are similar extensions for whatever browser you use though. just check your browser’s webstore and im sure you’ll find similar, or you could just switch to google chrome
ad(fly) skipper - bypasses adfly’s counter and takes you straight to your download
short.est skipper - same deal as the last one, and currently my most useful extension, since a lot of creators are using short.est instead of ad.fly lately. short.est is annoying because it has a lot of different redirect urls it can take you to with different domains, but the devs of the extension were good about blocking most, if not all, of the domains short.est uses so it’ll skip it no matter what.
tsr ad skipper - bypasses tsr’s countdown. it’s not necessarily a safety extension, just saves you time and keeps tsr from being more annoying than it has to be.
if you have more feel free to reblog and add them. enjoy ur cc hunting!

I can't tell you what to do but… please add a variety of characters, your characters don't need to be all be the same. Adding a variety of characters makes stories more enjoyable. Don't be weird about them, avoid stereotypes.
Here's just some cas cc, be sure to look at the other content from these creators and from elsewhere.

Be sure to think about your characters dynamics, their individual dynamic and their relationships! Here's a few simple articles and blog posts. 1, 2 , 3, 4.
Recommended previously in a reblog by the lovely @xldkx, make sure your font is readable. I would also highly recommend a legible transcript. Make your story as accessible as possible! The little effort it takes can mean many more people will be able to read and love your story.
Also, 'shot, reverse shot.' Little demonstrative video here. It's used in nearly all media with dialogue. It can make the emotions of the scene shine through more.
good tip... Clutter the hell out of your scenes, with accordance to characters and setting. Most people have some clutter, a little mess adds to your setting significantly. Take the time to really build your setting.
Here's a little character building article. There's many more out there.
Most importantly!!!!!! Have fun, grow with your writing and characters. Make it a fun hobby, not a chore or job.
I greatly appreciate any added resources in comments or reblogs!!! :)
love me some good ol' Sunset Valley
Sunset Valley Renewal
What is this?
-Sunset Valley map edited in CAW to group all of the new community lots from all the expansion into their own neighborhood. Original road layout is still in place just a few extra lots added. -Relocated Most of the expansion community Lots that EA took absolutely no effort to place within the world. Almost all of the EA Expansion lots were facing the wrong direction, incorrect lot sizes etc. Now they are all in one location with the exception of the Equestrian lot as its requires a large lot so that lot has been left in its original location. ( I might update this in the future by adding a new lot within CAW) -Multiple Residential lots have been relocated in order to accommodate the new Community lots but all of the original EA lots/families are still within the world. -Fixed many of the ugly roof lines of the original EA builds. -Every House has been “toned down” with more neutral colors inside. No more mustard and olive green bathrooms and kitchens! -Multiple houses have been redesigned to a more functional floor plan. For Example: Plus Plus no longer has that ugly tree house looking addition to the back of the house. It now resembles a colonial style two story home. -Most homes have had their exterior colors either changed or toned down from their Crayola box colors.
I have to say this is to my tastes. I admit I am a fan of blues and grays so there might be a bit of a common theme with some lots. I did go out of my comfort zone quite a bit however and used some color. Overall this is a drastic improvement over the vanilla game while trying to keep the same feel of the original Sunset Valley.
** I have all of the expansion packs and some stuff packs installed. I also own some store content but I don’t think any of it was used. This isn’t necessary to use this world. If you start the game and see some missing windows etc that just means you don’t have that expansion/pack. You can just replace whats missing. The game world will still work fine. **
**Scroll for File and Pics **
The Pics…
This is an Example of how EA added Expansion pack lots into the game. The building is facing the wrong direction and placed in an odd location on the map.
New Commercial District with most of the Expansion pack lots. Fire Station, Clubs, Laundromat, Consignment Store etc.
Before….
After…
Interior Before….. So much Mustard and Olive green… Yuck!
After. Neutral colors and doesn’t make your eyeballs hurt.
Before… I don’t even know what this is lol
After… Removed that weird diagonal bit, rotated the lot cleaned up the roof lines.
Before….
After. Because everyone loves a grungy trailer.
FILE:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4bj3icoveb1l756/Sunset%20Valley%20Renewal.zip?dl=0
Installation:
Please read through these instructions carefully. Most people should understand how to do this but I prefer not having to answer questions on what should be very simple instructions.
1. Unzip the file to a separate folder. You should see a file called Sunset Valley Renewal.Sims3Pack (World File) and a folder called Sunset Valley Renewal.sims3 (Game Save)
2. Copy the Sunset Valley Renewal.Sims3Pack to you Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads. In Windows 10/11 you can just open up File Explorer and in the left bar you will see “Documents” otherwise it will be copied to X:\Users\(Your Windows Login Name)\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads. Keep the Sims 3 Folder open as you will need this again in a few steps.
3. Open The sims 3 launcher (S3Launcher.exe). Click on Downloads. If you copied the world file to the correct location you should see Sunset Valley Renewal there. Click on the check box to the left of the name and click install. A box will pop up. Wait for it to finish installing. Close the box and then close the launcher.
4. Next you will need to install my save game in order to have the world be populated. Otherwise if you start a new game the world will be empty. All of the lots will be there but there will be no sims in any of the houses.
5. Copy the folder Sunset Valley Renewal.sims3 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves. Be sure to copy the entire folder over not just the files inside of the folder.
6. Now you’re done! If you copied the save game correctly when you start the game you should see a new save called Sunset Valley Renewal. Load this up and you’re good to go. Do not start a New Game with the world or the world will be unpopulated! Of course you can always play with the world unpopulated and populate it with your own sims but if you want it populated use the save.
7. Another note… If you want to be able to start a new game in this world in the future after loading into the world Save As and rename it to whatever you want that way in the future you will be able to use my save to start fresh in Sunset Valley again.
Thanks and Enjoy!
