Giveaway?

My tumblr is almost reaching 2,4k and my wattpad account is almost in 600 followers. I was planning on doing a giveaway - i forgot if it’s the correct word, sorry LOL - with two of my strollers and more 3 other items, that you just need to be following me on both sites and reblog the post for entry! It will be three winners, but it can extend for five depending on the entries!

What do you guys think? xD

Also, it will be up for sims 4 and sims 3!

I am gonna copy this thread right here if you’re ever thinking of going back into Sims 3 because this is the first time one of those “Reduce Lag” tutorials has really really worked for me!

TUTORIAL OVER MAKING CUSTOM SIMS 3 PAINTINGS:

Okay y’all, here’s my first tutorial. I broke it down barney style for those who have never worked with the programs before, so forgive me if you’re more advanced. I wanted anyone to be able to follow this. [Forgive my background noise, I have a sensitive mike and a 4 year old who doesn’t understand the meaning of quiet yet lol]

If you have any questions - See that I missed a step - or can think of a better way to improve the process, PLEASE let me know! I hope this helps.

Hey!

I got an i9 12th gen laptop and my sims 3 still won’t work after the patch. It will occasionally load to a totally black screen, finish loading but remain black, and then other times it will show a black screen and then just perpetually hang with the windows loading arrow and never start. Most commonly though it crashes altogether, after about 2 seconds if it’s in full screen it always crashes. Tried applying the patch a few times and no dice. Might try installing the origin version and see if that works

Hi!

Hmm, interesting. You could try setting the launcher to 1 CPU in the task manager and launch the game through the launcher. That miight do it? You can then change the affinity back to normal on the game when it's already loaded.

The finally has been released. Here’s the link to the thread at MTS. 

I’m compiling everything now, and I’ll update how it’s going and if it makes gameplay any smoother. 🤞

Some of our gameplay tips and tricks

Hey! We’re going to share with you some of our sims 3 gameplay tips:

1. Always save games while in “Map View”. Each time I save the game i always make sure to press M and save my game from the Map View. I can’t remember exactly where i found this or who suggested it to me but it has REALLY helped me with the game saving. Or maybe it’s just an illusion, either way it worked smoothly ever since. ( @simplyimaginarypeople :  saving in Map view uses less RAM and sometimes prevents Error 12) 

2. Always save games with “Save As”. Whenever it prompts the “Already existing town” just make sure you hit “replace”. Just like above, I can’t remember why or how but somehow it helped me avoid issues, endless loading screens and processing.

3. Make sure you always backup your game. And not only! Keep a backup of everything:  CC, sims, files,pictures,library, videos everything you want to keep safe. Not sure what a backup is? Click here or here 

4. Make sure you clean Cache files each time before you go in game. Not going in depth here on how or why, instead click this link , link 2 and if you have a Mac click here 

5. Never keep Screenshots/ Videos in the documents folder. It will just slows down the game. Always move them somewhere safe.

6. Make sure your sims’ inventories are as clean as possible. Keeping too many items in the inventory can lead to some ugly bugs.

7. Suggested by @simplyimaginarypeople “Turn off memories in game. They pile up the Cache files and never delete properly even if you delete memories.

8. Use Nraas Master controller when your game is acting weird. Head over to the City Hall click Nraas Master controller and fiddle around with the settings: Reset Everything is the best option when your town is buggy. Another option would be to use Nraas Master Controller on a specific Lot to use Reset Lot, it does the same thing but resets one single lot. Always use the cheat “Resetsim *” to reset all the sims in the town. And cheat “resetsim SimFirstName SimLastName” to reset a certain sim that got stuck. 

These are some of the tips that always helped me with my gameplay and i hope people will take note of them too from now on. Again, i can’t guarantee it will always work for you but you can always give them a try.

Tutorial - Hiding objects from the Build/Buy catalog - A slightly faster method for CCMagic users.

AKA Declutter your Misc Decor section!

So, I found tutorials on how to hide things from the catalog that requires manually opening and editing each package using s3pe, but I’ve found a somewhat faster way to do this, whilst keeping the original file unchanged, that I haven’t seen anyone else mention, so thought I’d share (I mean, someone else has almost certainly worked this out before me but I couldn’t find it anywhere). This requires CCMagic, and an understanding of how to make collections using CCMagic (very straightforward), and s3pe. Doing this will mean you can find all the items in collections, but they won’t be clogging up your catalog, eg Misc Decor (I had to do this as my Misc Decor had become so full, it often crashed my game when loading haha).

(This is also possible if you manually merge your CC, but you will have to add them to collections however you do that without CCMagic, I assume in game.)

Now, this is still a rather tedious process, and goddamn if someone could just create a program to do this for us I would die of gratefulness lol. But anyway, it’s still faster than the other method. And hey, maybe this will help someone 😊:
