I have updated and added some new object hiders for The Sims 3.

Built, or (for my older packages) work with 1.69.

I’ve learned a new way of making these. I did not redo all of my packages as they still seem to work fine, and there are a TON. The new way also solved some of my previous issues, like build objects not being hidden anymore.

I tried to get most objects/build mode items, but there might still be a few stragglers. Feel free to report any you find in my ask. Some I intentionally stayed away from as they are the only one in the game that exists, and I might actually use. This isn’t consistent across all games as far as not hiding these “one in existence” items, as some I never intend to use any time soon, and I did hide. So just keep an eye out. They should still be in the Collections folders if you do miss any. Feel free to request a hider for any of these items. I don’t mind adding them in if someone else wants them hidden.

Read before downloading:

These will hide objects from showing in the buy/build/buy debug catalog. You can still find them in Collections. These do not remove any objects from in game, and will still show up as normal if they’ve already been placed in game, or if they come with a lot, etc.

I strongly suggest choosing wisely when it comes to what you want to hide, as hiding everything can be problematic. An example would be all Beds being hidden from the catalog.

These come with their thumbnail pictures where available to make it easier to pick and choose what to keep.

I would put these in your overrides folder, but they should still work if you don’t.

I converted this back in the day, however I noticed some shadow issues that needed to be fixed. While I was at it, I also added a recolorable version, too.

This is still nonfunctional. It does have slots on the top, but nothing crazy (TSRW won’t stop crashing when I try to add slots).

I THINK it’s base game compatible.

↪ Preview of the recolorable areas (NOT an actual in-game swatch! As cool as the 90s were).

I made peacemaker-ic‘s Lustrous Metals color palette into Metal Patterns for TS3 for personal use (I took an EA metal pattern, and recolored it in every color+saved/exported them), but I thought I’d share in case anyone is lazy like me, and likes things to match.

They use an EA Metal Pattern that can tile in any direction. It’s slightly shiny, but not too over powering (imo).

All credits go to peacemaker-ic, and EA. All I did was copy+paste the color codes into TS3.

Definitely need some “old school” walls, so I converted my 80s Paneling.

They have 2 color channels, and a custom normal map. One color option which is the one pictured above.

An update to my mustluvcatz-reloaded AC conversion.

Edited the shadow, and moved it back a tick as a small bit was visible at certain angles.

Edit: Probably should add this is not recolorable, and has only the swatch shown above. Costs $75 and found in Deco>Misc.

I’ve been messing around with retexturing hairs, and I like how this one turned out. It’s a mash up of Plumblobs, and Remi’s Nymphy wavy textures. The control is by Plumblobs.

Compressorized.
