Around the Sims | Advent calendar 2019

If you chatted with me not so long ago, I had probably told that I wouldn’t do an Advent calendar this year. Too much stress in RL, not enough time, too much work, not enough support, too much this, not enough that… So, instead, it was supposed to be a “12 days before Christmas”. But then, I thought to people who might expect that advent calendar, who might come to my site the 1st of December, hoping finding something and who would be disappointed… It broke my heart! So, I changed my mind, and you’ll get a complete Advent calendar, just as usual, even if it means I won’t sleep before a while!  :D The “idea” of the year was to re-do what I had done for my very first Advent calendar, for Sims 2, about 10 years ago (yeah, I know, do you hear my bones cracking?), with “hidden” gifts: you see the gift wrapping and you have a hint about what’s inside, but you don’t see immediately what you download. But you still can get a preview if you like better knowing! Anyway, you download the gift wrapping and the mystery gift. :)

You’ll find tiny gifts or much bigger ones, depending if they were planned or not (or if I slept or not! ;))

Starting on YOUR 1st of December!

Reminder: New objects to download every day from the 1st to the 24th of December.They’re available for 24 hours only, but don’t worry if you missed one, all the objects will be available again from the 25th of December! ;)

Gifts will be the same for Sims 3 and Sims 4 (with eventually different functions, though). Around the Sims 3 Around the Sims 4

(and don’t forget you can support the sites, so I know you enjoy the Advent calendar! ;D)

PS: I post this on the 29th of November, so there’s nothing yet to see on the sites. It’s just to be sure you’ll be ready! ;)

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I've been pretty quiet on here, but that doesn't mean I've stopped simming! First up I'd like to say thanks (and sorry!) to all the lovely people who've sent me messages :) I'm gonna try my best to reply to everyone asap!

For christmas I wanted to share something special - so here is the public release of the first version of my Decorating Tools mod (or S3DT)

Quick Description - This mod adds hotkeys to the game to allow you to move objects up/down, left/right and rotate in all directions, similar to T.O.O.L for TS4 PDF Guide included below!

To my wonderful patrons - thank you for your support <3 I feel bad that real life has gotten in the way of me delivering more content to you all, so I'll likely be closing it soon! If it's possible, I'll also refund the last couple of months due to my inactivity. Anyone who wants to can still donate to my Ko-Fi

MOD INSTRUCTIONS AND DOWNLOAD BELOW THE CUT

This version is compatible with icarusallsorts' Transmogrifier Mod, and until I can figure out how to script it better, my mod actually REQUIRES it in order for them to be compatible together.

*** EDIT - For some, you might need to use CTRL + SHIFT + Click to bring up object menus! ***

If you would like a version that does not require the Transmogrifier (but is therefore incompatible) send me a message!

FUTURE PLANS: - Adapting movement depending on camera direction - Adding a UI interface for interactions and manual rotations etc. - Scaling interactions with hotkeys

Don't be afraid to reply to this post, send me an ask or a private message if you have any questions or problems. I'm also in the Creator's Cave discord, so feel free to @ me there too :) And please tag me or use the tag #S3DT if you come up with any cool ways to use this mod!

This couldn’t come at a better time. Thank you soooooo much @simshai91 for sharing, I’ve recently started reorganizing my store items and I was worried that I would have to go back in and get all the Thumbnails for them but you literally saved my life 🤗

PSA for anyone organising their TS3 CC: download Sims 3 Thumbnail Extractor!

I have just downloaded a tool that will save me so much time in my CC re-organisation. Honestly, this just had me staring at my screen and going “Seriously? Holy crap!”

It’s the Sims 3 Thumbnail Extractor by Killc*a at MTS. All you do is leave it at default settings, choose a folder to scan, wait for a few seconds, and it will extract all the THUMB and ICON resources (if both exist within a file, it will extract both) inside everything in that folder. It works on package files and Sims3pack files, and it does it in seconds. (You can also choose individual files if you don’t want everything in an entire folder extracted.)

Prior to this I had been going through each file one at a time, opening it in S3PE, finding the THUMB or ICON files, using the option to open them in Paint, hitting Save As > JPG, typing the first letter of the name and scrolling to find the correct name, hitting the End key to go to the end of the filename so I can backspace out the .package or .sims3pack bit– Well, you get the general idea. Lots of work for one image. All of that work now takes literally seconds with this thing.

The video above will show you just how quickly it works. That folder contains 1,397 package files by LunaSims. To go through them individually would have involved several hours of non-stop work. This program processed them in a couple of seconds.

It managed to do 1,354 out of those files, meaning that 43 of them don’t have THUMB or ICON files, but it’ll be easy to sort those out, load them into my game and take screenshots of them.

My only bugbear is that it saves the images as PNG files, but there are tons of file conversion programs out there that will convert those to JPGs so you can save a bit of space.

(Now all I need is a program that will take the hundreds of extracted package files from a Sims3pack lot [which have gibberish names] and delve inside their XML files to rename the file with the actual item name, so that I don’t have to!)

Turbo Travel Mod

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. 🤞

Shoutout

I just want to shoutout a thanks to @simfileshare

I know you guys have been down for a few days and may be getting some heat because of it, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU.

Thank you for making a site for us to host our CC, for not limiting how much we can upload, for trying to make sure it runs fast and moving server when needed. I know it is a lot of work to run a site like that and so far nobody else has done something similar. I feel like people in the background never get enough credit so this is for you guys :)

Have a great Easter!

Childhood Activities

Just a small pack this time, only 3 activities but they’re all for children! I was recently putting a list together on my forum of all the skills available in Sims 3 and I rediscovered some C…

3 Childhood Afterschool Activities for your children! Only requires Generations but makes use of some of the boarding school skills! 🚌

After a long time in testing, the Events Management ‘Degree’ Career for Sims 3 is finally uploaded and ready for release! I’m just so sorry this took as long as it did!

Many thanks to @unwrittensims and @simshai91 for testing this one! Your help and support has meant a lot.

finally got around to giving ardwen the proper greenhouse she’s always wanted and deserves  😌🌱🌻
