Sims 3: CC Backup Post 01




I made these for TS2, and I figured I’d go ahead and make them for TS3 while I was at it. These were originally floors from Cottage Living, but I made them into terrains. There is a terrain version of this in TS4 but it only comes in 1 color (pink), and does not match the floors (Why EA?). No transparency version only. I didn’t test this in game, so let me know if I’ve goofed something up.

I made this as a quick edit of the Beach Towel + Umbrella for myself, as I couldn’t find one that felt “medieval themed”. Please keep in mind I didn’t make this with the intent to share originally so it’s a bit “rough”. I almost forgot I made this, so I wanted to drop it here for the future. I am not currently playing my medieval save, so the above preview is just the texture. Feel free to edit, etc.

57 4t3 Terrains



Here are some 4t3 terrains. 57 to be exact. These are not all terrains, only the ones I might use in my medieval save. There are also some converted floors that have been turned in to terrains.

Some are slightly edited in either color, or saturation, but the original TS4 version of the terrains I edited are still included.

There are two versions. They conflict with each other, so you can only have one!

Version 1: No alpha transparency. All transparency is handled in-game. This solves the “halo”  effect around the terrain from the world terrain poking through when trying to blend terrains. I prefer this option, as the halo can be pretty noticeable in certain situations and/or with certain terrains.

Version 2: Alpha transparency.

GraphicsRules made in 1.69 - For TS3

I wanted to save my GraphicsRules for my future Sims 3 playthroughs, and I thought I’d share.

🚨 MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR GRAPHICSRULES BEFORE USING THIS!! I can’t stress this enough.
This is for version 1.69!
*Edit* I am now on 1.67 and this seems to work fine.

Found in: Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
or
Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
I don’t remember which is the default as I have mine in a custom location.
Installation for non-origin users:
Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
 
Changes from the default are as follows:

  • Graphics when set to the Very High setting will either be 2K, or 4K, depending on which version you download. I recommend 2K for gameplay.
  • Better Shadows included. It uses 4K shadows in both versions. You must set your shadows to the High setting.
  • I have the seti textureMemory (how much RAM your computer has) set to 16GB of RAM. 🚨 I highly recommend changing this to how much YOUR computer has. I have never tested this on a computer that has less RAM than 16GB.
  • ShaderSkinCompositing set to false on the High, and Very High graphics setting. This fixes improperly rendered body hair and tattoos (stops them from becoming blurry).
  • Bloom is removed. Example of what Bloom is here.

Find more bug fixes, and performance tweaks in this guide! (I have included some of the changes to my GraphicsRules)

Medieval Fantasy Names for TS3 - Default Name Replacement

I wasn’t able to find any name replacement mods that I wanted to use for my medieval save, so I made one! Let me just say this took way longer then I initially thought it would.

The names I chose are mainly medieval-ish (I used a lot of names from old, and middle English). I also used some sim names (or made names out of sim places), e.g. Dragon Valley, Henford on Bagley, etc. There’s a small fantasy element thrown in there as well. I tried to stick to ~sim lore~.

I’ve tried it out in my game, and it seems to be working fine, but there’s over 8,000 different strings (name possibilities, basically). I did duplicate most of the names to a degree. It should work with other languages, but I only played / tested in English.

I’m still messing around with it, but I need a break. So I thought I’d share this version.

Credits to lesbisim for the base mod (I changed all names).

I used Easy STBL Manager, Notepad++, and a ton of google.

And in case anyone else wants to change the names, line 3-1012 = Female, 1013-7266 = Surnames, 7267-8303 = Male. This is assuming you use the above programs to edit these.

Veil Of Dreams Upscale from 128px to 256px





These curtains are one of my favorites, but when I went to recolor them I realized the texture size was only 128px. I upscaled 2x to 256px.

Top is original. Bottom is the upscale.

I’m not sure how much of a risk upscaling is for pink flashing? I think 256px should still be a safe size? Maybe someone more knowledgeable could chime in.

psd if anyone wants to mess with it.

Woodberry - Build a City Challenge



I started a BaCC in TS2. I have yet to take pics of the founders, but here is the Mayor of Woodberry, Amara’s house. She doesn’t have much, but she brought the basics, and a few extras to stave off boredom.

I also need to decorate the neighborhood, but I was too excited, and wanted to start playing.

Bootlegged Sofa Recolor



I kinda need mothz’ patterns on everything, so have the Bootlegged Sofa blanket with mothz flannel patterns. Some patterns don’t tile the best, but aren’t horrible imo (example above).

Credits: Mothz, & Datapeach.

I also have an extra dl. Leather part of the sofa upscaled*, and one of my leather patterns slapped over it (yes, leather on leather lol). 1 recolor in total.

*psd, without the extra leather pattern if you wanna mess with it for whatever reason.

I have some more in the works, but I thought I’d release these now as they fit nicely together.

Update 8/18/21
You can only have one version, not both! As they conflict.
No Transparency (transparency handled only in-game). Pure white alpha. This can solve the “halo” effect around the terrain from the world terrain poking through when trying to blend terrains.

Upscaled pet fur & details for TS3 - Not a final mod!







**EXPERIMENTAL**

This is not a final mod.

Pictures on left are EA resolution, pictures on the right are upscaled. Top pictures are EA. Bottom is upscaled.

I want to share my upscaled pet fur & details (ears, mouth etc) in case anyone else might be interested in messing with it. Due to the websites limitations that I used, these are only 2K.

These are not edited in any way aside from upscaling and then slapping them into a package. There is some wonkiness (see the paws on the dog, ears are lighter, especially on cats). These are meant to be more of a resource for other cc makers, rather then a full fledged mod.

These textures come from lazyduchessdefault textures.

The pet eyes are from hiddengnomesDayDreaming defaults.
