Thanks For All The Subs So Far, Now Over 50! Lol.

Hey, let me start saying I love your builds, can’t wait till u upload more 🤗 I am currently setting up a grocery store using your build and just wanted to know where did you store your fruits and vegetables, herbs for sims to buy?? Thank u in advance for your help 

Hi, thanks for the love! There are actually a couple ways I choose to do the above based on who it is that owns the supermarket.

1. If one of my homeworld sims is the farmer and also owns the supermarket, then I usually have a fresh produce section, meaning I just place the stuff they harvest directly unto the savvier seller shelf from their inventory. I usually prefer to use the shelves that came with the indulgence bakery set but use the transmogrifier mod to change the script into savvier seller shelves. Since the farmer own the supermarket, all profits from sales would go to their household funds.

2. If my farmer does not own the supermarket I usually have him consign the produce. In this case, I place one consignment register and one savvier seller register in my supermarket, that way other sims can buy the fresh produce from the consignment register. And therefore profits would go directly to their household fund. Another option is to place the humble harvest stand outside your supermarket and consign produce there, so sims can buy fresh produce from the stand. However, the supermarket owner would not make any profits from the produce only the farmer. 

3. You can also have the farmer “sell” the goods to the supermarket owner. This means adding up the value of the produce being placed on the shelves, subtracting from the supermarket owner’s household funds and adding to the farmer’s household funds. I’m however too lazy to go this route 😜

4. If there is no main farmer but I still want fresh produce being sold in the supermarket, then I have the supermarket owner purchase from the rabbithole supermarket and place on the savvier seller shelf in the fresh produce isle and then sell at a markup to earn some profits.

5. Another option is to place the produce in a treasure chest on the lot such as this vegetable stand by Sandy and have sims purchase using Ani’s Shop from Inventory mod. In this case, one of the supermarket registers will have to be a WA register that will have the new shop from inventory interaction on it. In this instance, whoever owns the LOT will receive the profits from the sale. Why I stress the LOT is that the LOT owner does not have to be the same person as the savvier seller register supermarket shop owner, and therefore they may not receive profits from the sale. But if they are one and the same then no issues.

Maybe more info than you were asking for, but there are so many ways to make it work so you can do whatever is best for your gameplay situation. Let me know if you have any further questions!

Around the Sims 3 | Advent Calendar 2020: it’s starting!!!

Here we are again! The famous time of the Advent Calendar! :D So, you might already know how it works: every day, from the 1st to the 24th of December, you’ll find at Around the Sims 3 new objects to download. From your 1st  December, not from mine, so it might not be time yet for you now! ;) All the objects are available for 24 hours only, and then are replaced by a new download. No worries, though, all the objects are getting available again from the 25th of December (my 25th, but I shouldn’t be very busy with Christmas celebrations this year…) Something new, though: all the gifts can also be found, on Patreon, and there, they don’t disappear after 24 hours, so if you missed a day and don’t have the patience to wait till Christmas, you’ll find them there. :) Thank you for your support! <3

I hope you’ll enjoy the gifts (all based on Patreons’s suggestions) and that you’ll spend some happy times, even if the circumstances this year might be very special, depending on where you live.

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!

Reduce CC without deleting!

First Method

So I found this program on my computer: s3rc redux, and decided to run all my packages through it (not mods, poses or sliders). It reduced my CC by 7.5GB without me deleting anything. All items still work so far, although I haven’t checked all functionality.

But if someone wants to reduce their CC easily, then I have uploaded the s3rc here, as the original here is down. Just drag and drop .packages (and sims3packs) onto it :D

But backup just in case!

Second Method

So you might all realize that skins are probably the biggest files you have in game. This is because they usually contain a load of HQ images.

BUT

Most people don’t know that when using Skininator, you need to “Compact Save” not “Save”. What this does, is if your skintone uses the same image for dark and light, or the same images for teen/YA/A/E, instead of saving the image multiple times, it only saves one copy, and then links to that picture for the rest.

This saves A LOT of space!

So if you wanna quickly reduce CC, then just open all your skins in Skininator one by one, and press “Compact Save”, then open the next. I saved around 2-3GB doing this!

This probably won’t make your game load much faster, but it is still worth it.

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.

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.

Amazing Build 🥰 I love that it has so much to do, my sims new date night spot 🤩

Thank You For My First Ever Dedication, I Really Appreciate It 😘

WILSONOFF COMMUNITY THEATRE (Live Show Venue)

Dedicating this build to @unwrittensims​, really enjoy our geeky chats. Started this from last year when I had the Borourghsburg build bug 😛 but I paused when I heard the world was being expanded and opted to help with that instead. Now that the final version of the world is out, I can finally share this with you all!

The world creator @potato-ballad-sims​​ doesn’t have the Showtime Expansion installed so none of the featured items were placed in the world such as the stage to host singers, magicians & acrobats. So I bring to you a full live show venue fit for concerts, VIP meet & greets, plus watch the latest blockbuster & indie films on the big screen!

Details and download below.
