what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

How to deep clean The Sims 3. 2020 (Massive lag reduction.)

Deep cleaning your game will help your game run faster it will also reduce lag and prevent sims and saves from going corrupt.

Programs. CC Magic. Ts3pe. Sims 3 multi pack extractor. Sims 3 Dashboard cc cleaner Advanced system care

Recommended file types. These files are much easier for your game to process and when managed properly much safer to use then .sims3packs. How are they safer? Well sims 3 packs cane become corrupt and its much more difficult to find a broken sims3pack. Another reason is some are affected by the sims 3 evil doll virus. .WORLD .Package

Tips to avoid save corruption. Never save over a save file. Always use save as option. Save often. Keep sim inventories empty. World adventures chest are famous for corrupting saves. Keep family inventory empty. Move family out and save them to library before saving.

Preventing the deletion of what is important to you. Place these folders in a new folder on your desktop. Label it TS3Backup or somthing similar. \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims\Downloads \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims\Mods \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims\Library \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims\Saved outfits \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims\Saved sims \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims\Saves This step insures that all of your saved sims saved games and familys are all there once you boot your game up again.

Creating new and clean game files for a smoother and less laggy game. 1 - Navigate to \Documents\Electronic Arts. Once you open your Electronic arts folder delete the folder labeled The Sims 3. 2 - Start launcher (Do not press play yet.) 3 - Enable expansions. 4 - Navigate to the TS3Backup folder created earlier place the folders you placed inside TS3Backup and move them to \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims. 4 - Install sims3packs via launcher. 5 - Delete files from DCBackup. 6 - Reapeat process as needed.

Deleting cache files. When you delete any or all of these files, as their nature is to regenerate, the next time you load Launcher or the game may take a bit longer as all these files need to be refreshed. This is normal and is by design.

Garden Poses & Lilly of the Valley Conversion by Keibea

Hello! This is a small gift I made for all of you for supporting me and just being wonderful <3 It took me ages to find something I wanted to make and could make, and in the end I came up with this small posepack! I also converted the incredibly talented @serenebluesims 's lilly of the valley accessory! Thank you so much to them for letting me do this! This is my first time making poses and converting an accessory, so there may be a few problems. However, I've checked everything in my game and there aren't any issues I've come across (besides small clipping with the poses). Let me know if you find anything wrong, or have any issues - I'm happy to help!

I hope you all like it! Thank you for being incredible!

Lilly of the Valley Accessory ~

- Original sims 4 version here - full credit to them!

- In the bracelet category (no thumbnail for some reason (instead, an EA generated one), not sure how to fix this, sorry!)

- Non-recolourable

- All LODs (0, 1 & 2)

- Feel free to use yourself with poses, recolouring or anything else! Just give credit please :)

Garden Poses ~

- All made by me!

- I've only tried it with the accessory I converted - but I'm sure it works with others too!

- Non-poselist compatible - sorry!! All codes with photos are found with the download.

Just a quick upload. This is my camper base I use for my trailer areas on a 10x10 residential lot. You’ll need Madayas Caravan Set for it to show up like that. Package file only, just put it in your library folder.

Knitting Mod - Released!

Get yer needles ready. It's time.

Knitting! This mod adds a knitting interaction and skill to the game.

To get started, buy a pair of knitting needles. You'll also need to purchase yarn to knit with. The knitting bag can be used to store knitting needles and yarn, so if you have a family of knitters, or just a sim who likes to knit an awful lot, it's a convenient way to keep the items together.

You can knit items or just practise. Skill up to get better at making more advanced projects.

Traits will affect how fast, successful, and happy sims are at knitting, and there are 6 custom moodlets related to knitting.

There are few things I want to look into adding/changing, so there will likely be updates coming up.

Thank you for all the support and kind words! I really hope you like the mod <3

Some shell buildings/boats conversions! {=

☆DOWNLOAD☆

info: 34 objects. All caw enabled. All light up at night. Some you’ll find in the roof decor section or in the buydebug.  Most of them in the first two pics are low poly, except the venice shells in the second pic, they’re 6 and 8k. Also the Couvent des Récollets, which is around 12k TS4 venues are around 5 to 10k. Townhouses are 3 to 5k. TS4 boat is 1k. Sail boat is also around 1k. The highest poly stuff are the Arts Building: 15k Yacht: 24k these meshes and textures aren’t mine, the only thing I did is texturize the yacht^-^

Hi! :) It’s pretty easy if you’re willing to fiddle with the lighting. During the daytime hours, when you place lights outside they’re already “turned on”, but they don’t actually give off any light. The trick is to toggle the day/night button (or use the L key) twice while in build or buy mode, which then triggers them to light up. If you place any new lights after you’ve done that you’ll need to do it again, and most of the time you’ll have to change their intensity to get your sims to look good. At night it’s a bit easier since you don’t need to fool with any of that to get them to light up, but I’ve also found that for one hour at dawn and one hour at dusk nothing gets the buy debug lights to work outside.

Hope that helps! If you need any further clarification let me know. :)

you would be doing us all a giant favour!!! just update us on how we can help

I’m doing a thing...

How many hours of your life do you think you’ve spent scouring the internet looking for CC / mods for Sims 3? I don’t even want to think about how much time I’ve spent doing that in all years that I’ve been playing…

Tumblr is great, don’t get me wrong… but when you’re looking for a specific type of CC, it can be…. well…. not fun. Tumblr is wonderful for following players and creators, but it’s not a CC search engine by any stretch of the imagination. Sure, you can hop from one “finds” account to another, but even that’s not efficient.

So I started thinking about this problem, and how it might be solved, and I kept thinking, “I wish there was a site where we could catalog and organize links to content all across the web.” Well hot damn… I’ve got an unlimited web hosting plan! When you see a need, fill it. So, I’m starting a Sims 3 CC & Mods link directory website. 

The basic premise is that links to CC & Mods (to the creator’s original post or site, if possible) from every corner of the web can be organized by categories and tags. This enables users to drill down to specific types of content that they’re looking for, or just search for keywords or browse the categories to see what’s out there. 

I think that’s a pretty cool idea and would be tremendously useful! And furthermore, the system I’m using enables users to submit links as well! Huzzah! I don’t have to do all of the work myself! 

Additionally, it would serve to drive traffic to creators’ sites and introduce new players to their content. Hell… I’ve been playing Sims 3 since it came out and there are still “old” creators that I’m just now discovering…

Anyway… apologies for the long-winded post. The idea is only a few days old and I’ve got the basics of the site put together, but I’m still working on refining the concept and putting the pieces in place, and I would WELCOME feedback and suggestions from y’all, and if anyone is interested in helping with the project, please feel free to contact me.

CAW for Absolute Beginners – a guide

It took me long enough, but I made a guide for CAW for those of you who always wanted to try to build your own worlds for Sims 3 but never knew where to start. And for those of you who tried but got frustrated because information is hard to find, outdated or just doesn’t cover what you were looking for.

For now it’s a PDF for you to download. And maybe sometime in this century it will be turned into a website for better navigation. Stay tuned! And don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions!
