Now Updated With The Simblr.cc Link As Well! I Know SFS Was Being A Pain For Me Yesterday As I Was Trying

Ahhh Matt...Gracie’s next boyfriend but not end game poor girl. Loved using some base sims for these gorgeous sims

“Can I sit here?” Gracie’s timid voice squeaked as she asked. She cleared her throat.

“Yeah, totally!” The girl in the Hawaiian print shirt smiled openly. “But you have to promise not to judge me for this plate of dessert.”

Gracie giggled as she sat down, “Deal.”

“So are you new here?”

Gracie brushed at the wisps of hair threatening to stick to the sweat on her forehead. “Yeah, I just recently moved to Appaloosa Plains for a teaching job. I’m a little anxious…” Gracie trailed off as a muscular man approached. It took her all of three seconds to know he was one good looking guy.

“Oh this is Matt,” the girl pointed.

“Hey” he waved with one hand.

“Oh and I’m Nicole!” The girl said apologetically.

Matt across his plate towards Gracie “and remember it’s Nicole, not Nicki, otherwise she’ll hate you forever and probably hurt you” he winked.

Nicole rolled her eyes “That’s only half true, I just hate the nickname Nicki”

“Got it” Gracie said. She found conversation came easily and before she knew it Matt and Nicole felt more like long lost friends than recent acquaintances.

“Any one else want seconds on dessert?”

“Me!” Both girls replied and giggled. They got up and waited in the buffet line, with Matt also grabbing a variety of other left overs.

“Uhm Matt, why are you giving that old lady a death glare?”

“Because she’s eating the last piece of key lime pie” He pouted, turning his puppy dog eyes on the girls.

“Well I can help with that, I made it so how about you guys come over soon and I’ll make you some?”

“Yes!” “Great”

I guess moms recipe was a success, Gracie thought.

——————- A big thanks to Frankie @simplyimaginarypeople whose sims from the SSFF challenge I used as a base for Nicole and to @plumblobs whose base sim Jack I used to make Matt.

This is an awesome mod that I have play tested and it make so many new types of businesses possible! Gone are the Sims 3 days of savy seller rugs everywhere, instead we’ve been gifted a marvelous Sims 2 ofb inspired mod that makes business dreams come true! I’m seriously so excited to see what the community can do with this. I have so many ideas for new shops, and I’m sure so do many others. If you’ve ever wanted to run a ts3 business this is the mod for you! 

Yay, it’s finally here! Sim State Dude’s Open For Business for Sims 3 has arrived! I had the privilege of being part of a fun and great group of simmers who helped test this mod over at MissyHissy’s Discord and this mod is amazing, definetly a game changer! *Download and install Dude’s mod and enjoy!*

Watch the launch trailer video on his Youtube channel here!

Sims State & Co mod notes:

Welcome to Sim State! A new mini expansion focused on adding ownable stores to the game in an open ended format. Create a store, hire employees, set objects for sale (without rugs!), restock objects, earn XP on sales to increase your rank and more! Check it out below! DISCLAIMER: The mod has been thoroughly tested by myself and other simmers but due to the nature of public release I cannot guarantee you won’t run into a new one! As a rule make backups to keep your saves safe, but you can shutdown a business by purchasing a computer and using the ‘Manage Business’ option on the lot, this should fix any Sim State specific issues for a buggy lot. Thanks! DONATIONS Completely optional but for anyone who enjoys the mod and would be interested in helping out financially you have my deepest appreciation! FEATURES -Ownable Stores Create and run stores across town, you can open a maximum of one business per lot, but there are no limits on the amount of stores you can run! Pay the $1000 set up fee and start today! -Hire & Manage Employees Use the scripted OFB register to manage your store and hire/fire employees! Call them into work and assign them roles, you can even switch households and work at a store run by another sim, create managers and complex economy systems around your town! Running an upmarket boutique? Customise your employee uniforms to match the style. -XP & Ranks Stores level up in rank similar to resorts. Using a custom UI system you can earn up to 5 stars which allow for more employees and higher prices! The ratio is 1:10 per Simolean earned! -Customer Satisfaction Points Inspired by a similar mechanic used in The Sims 2 your businesses earn points for each purchase. Use these points to purchase the $1000 cash reward or a security system! -Petty Theft Yup! Crime can be an issue for your stores, keep and eye out on sims eager for a freebie! If you see a notification popup and your stock diminishing you may be able to catch the thief quickly by clicking on them and using the 'Stop Thief’ interaction; this will call the police and have them arrested! Purchase the security system to automatically call them and halt any negative impact on your Customer Satisfaction Points! Keep an eye on those Kleptomaniacs and Evil sims… but anyone with the right motive could leave you missing a few items! -Mystery Shoppers Randomly sims that visit your store will have a chance of being a mystery shopper which will earn you a nice bonus of funds! Keep objects stocked up and prices fair to stand the best chance of high rewards. Can you get a perfect 100/100 score? -Frugal Sims… Not everyone will be happy with your inflated prices, keep some objects set to a low mark-up to ensure frugal sims don’t complain! -Power Surges Randomly during thunderstorms your sims have a chance of experience a power cut! Don’t worry though, the don’t last long… usually! -Custom UI’s & New In game Lessons A few visual improvements to the notification system give a fresh look to the game. You can also find 8 new lessons under the 'Sim State’ heading! Well after months of work and the great sims community I am pleased to finally release the mod! As mentioned above it may have a few outstanding bugs but hopefully nothing too serious, let me know how you find it in the comments! I would love to see what stores you run with Sim State so please post about the mod and your experiences on social media and YouTube! A few special thanks go out to Battery, GameFreak, Lyralei and Zoeee for all their help getting this project to release and helping me understand the Sims 3 API and learn C#! Finally I will be posting the source code and assets as open source in the near future, I am stepping back from active development myself but I know there’s a selection of active simmers interested in supporting the mod into the future. I would appreciate credit for the original idea and version but if you wish to take the mod/update it or release it in an updated form elsewhere I would be interested to see where it goes! Thank you to everyone who helped out and everyone who tries the mod, I really hope it adds something new and fun to The Sims 3 scene! I really believe that with the right motivation someone could create an entire new EP for TS3 it really is very moddable when you get stuck in! Enjoy! Regards, Sim State Dude (& Co)

Needed to build a house to take some preview pictures for my next cc conversion set and I was in CC heaven today. I mean look at this sim with hair by @rollo-rolls​, beautiful dress and hat by @keibea​ who makes the most perfect outfits. I just am so happy with little test sim Callie that now I have to find a way to keep her. 

But also, checked out the world of Mount Estelle by @pxelblobs​ and IT IS SO FREAKING GORGEOUS! The parks are fan-freaking phenomenal and I was blown away. My build is taking shape and is based off of this wonderful Sims 4 one here X but had to check out the rest of the world too. The parks are so beautiful and the library is 100% amazing. With all that beautiful cc I couldn’t help but take even these unedited photos. (Also shame on little Callie walking in a library barefoot ;) 

Just wanted to say thank you to these wonderful creators and share so hopefully others can enjoy too. Also hoping to finish up the last little things and have a conversion released soon. TSRW has been kicking my butt! But I’m very hopeful that soon I will have some wonderful, high quality conversions to share. 

*Also I fixed my Hylewood save and just need to organize some screenies and queue them up. Also have a few more Christmas conversions I just need to finish and post and then who knows where the new year will take us!

~ S U M M E R ~ “Hey!” A stranger in a polka dotted bikini waved at Gracie and Matt as they emerged from the water glistening wet.

“Hi!” Matt responded waving in a friendly manner while Gracie tried to follow suit by sending the girl a reserved wave. From the safety of Matt’s shadow of course

“We just lost a few players for our volleyball game. Want to play?” Her eyes were open and kind.

“Sure!” Matt responded without so much as a glance towards Gracie. He started walking towards them. Gracie followed and began to towel herself dry, watching Matt and marveling at how being friendly came so easy to him (and at his muscles).

Matt gave her a friendly nudge, “Earth to Grace. You ready?”

“Uhm it’s just that I’ve never done this before. You know, volleyball.”

He didn’t bat an eye, “Then it will all the more fun to teach you. Come on”

Gracie opened her mouth to argue but Matt was already walking away so instead she obediently followed. Much to her surprise she found herself enjoying the company, especially the outgoing Natalia. By the end of the day Gracie had exchanged numbers with some of the girls and promised to come play again.

A fun collab for @simblrsimplyforfun with @simming-love and her beautiful sim Natalia. My computer kept crashing so I didn’t get to take as many photos but at least I could finish  This was to complete challenge 9! Frankie could I have the Fleur skin?

~ F A L L ~  “How many more boxes?” Holly asked sitting beside Gracie on the porch steps.

“Too many,” Gracie rolled her eyes and tried to hide the tired muscles she felt everywhere. “Holly, have I ever told you how much I hate moving?”

Holly giggled, “Hmmm only a million times when we first  moved into our old dorm room, and another half a million times over skype last time you moved.”

Gracie smiled, “Okay, okay. Easy now.”

“Luckily I’ve come to your rescue” Holly struck a pose and Gracie laughed, wrapping her arms around Holly’s shoulders.

“I knew it was smart befriending you. Supergirl, aka Holly Swann.”

Holly suddenly perked up “Hey! Gracie, we should take a break and go to that pumpkin patch! I mean this is a farming town, and where better for you to meet a cute farmer? Uh, I mean pick a cute pumpkin!”

Gracie smirked, unamused by Holly’s latest match making schemes. Holly widened her big eyes and pulled out her best puppy pout and before Gracie knew it, they were off to the pumpkin patch.

“So what are you going to make, Gracie Grace?” Holly asked, snacking on pizza while they drove home, complete with large pumpkins in the back seats.

“Probably a cat,” Gracie shrugged while driving.

“Crazy cat lady,” Holly whispered under her breath.

“Hey!” Gracie flicked Holly in the passenger seat, eliciting a whispered ouch. “I am not a crazy cat lady, thank you very much. I only have one. One cute little Willow so I’m not a total spinster.

"You’ll find him Gracie. You will”

“So will you,” Gracie said with a smirk.

Hours passed quickly with such good company, and soon enough the pumpkins were carved and lit, almost all the boxes had been moved, and Holly’s plane was nearing its departure hour. “I’ll miss you.” Gracie said.

“I’ll miss you too,” Holly replied, giving Gracie a hug.

“Thanks for the help, it meant a lot, and I like this getting together more than just once a year at the penthouses.”

Holly smiled, “Yeah, me too.”

With lots of well wishes Holly was off, and Gracie sat on the steps of her new house hoping it wouldn’t always feel as lonely as it did now.

Thanks for collabing with me @plumdrops Holly is such (!) a beautiful sim! Thank you to Frankie for the fun challenges @simblrsimplyforfun

Could I have the Rosie Skin please?

Blown away by the beautiful world of Rosewood Park by @gruesim. Fell in love with this little cottage that has a big back garden overlooking the sea and had to start decorating.
