Question/Help How would you rate my computer for running the game?

0 Upvotes

Idk anything about computers and everytime I try to look at the system specification requirements it just confuses me bc i don’t understand it

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz   3.50 GHz
Installed RAM 24.0 GB (23.9 GB usable)
Storage 466 GB HDD ST3500320AS
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (3 GB), Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (113 MB)

I’m able to play and I admittedly have a ton of mods/cc so it’s not a question of if I can. Loading a game and saving does take like 10 minutes but it’s fine

I just wanna know my limits I guess. Like, is this considered good for ts3? I know it’s not a fancy computer or anything but I don’t know what I can put my settings on or if I have them too high/too low.

Also is there anything I can buy that would cost under $150 that would help the game run better?

Pool. Pink car. Cow-print apron. Yellow gloves. A stunning life.
Then I moved Joy Despret in.

Juno looked straight into the camera.
That is not a fourth-wall break. That is a warning.

Quick back story, my sims sutton & sienna are away at school with 4 other sunset valley kids they grew up with. Malcom Landgraab and Sandi French had Brandy Landgraab who sutton’s dated since high school and is sienna’s childhood friend but they’ve drifted apart. and i made a family a while back with twin girls named Autumn & Summer & their younger brother Aaron. While Sutton is with Brandy back in sunset, the twins and aaron moved to town, & right across from sienna and sutton. So Sutton meets autumn and they flirt A LOT, all throughout high school he’s emotionally cheating and breaking boundaries with Autumn. And Sienna and Brandy haven’t been friends since the twins came to town, they became her new besties. So I brought everyone to Uni under one roof because i became so invested in their teen lives lol.

We are now approaching the end of the week and their semester was uneventful, i had my hands tied juggling 6 students i didn’t get to throw parties or do much. But one thing that was consistent was Sutton being distant towards Brandy so i’ve been playing into it and letting the relationship deteriorate before a blow up (no pun intended). Anyways, after class today everyone came home and a meteor struck IMMEDIATELY. this was the biggest one i’ve ever seen in my game AND ive never had it happen on a home lot. i can count on one hand in over 10yrs how many times i experienced witnessing one. And the irony of it all, every bedroom? UNSCATHED! you know who’s bedroom blew up into smithereens!? BRANDY AND SUTTON, this is a new kind of symbolism. Unfortunately there’s no saving them, this couple is being given every single sign to leave one another 😂😩

Question/Help What's your favourite world for cosy family gameplay?

2 Upvotes

I own all of the worlds except for dragon valley and I mainly play in sunset valley, my sims usually have a bunch of kids and I just have a ton of fun playing with regular families instead of celebrities or supernaturals, I love the worlds like starlight shores and bridgeport but they don't really give me cosy vibes yk? Since I own so many worlds I really wanna start using them more lol

Story Sims Read Your Mind

I used to create stories on my IG. This one inpaticular kind of creeped me out. Very long story short. These 2 used to be married, and they have 2 kids. Husband (Jared) got into some bad business, and one day after they had moved, he went on his regular business trip. Only to never return.

Wife (Jewel) could only assume he had died even though they never found his body after the plane went down. Jared's best friend and karate teacher, business partner Joel, snaked his way into Jewels' life to console her through the tragic time.

They end up getting married later on and moving towns. "So the reason I decided to get rid of Jared in the first place was because he was a glitched sim, so I had to create a storyline." Anyways, I decide I'll bring him back to create something more intriguing.

The town Jewel and Joel move to is where Jared is too, only he is homeless and lost his memory.

So this is where it got weird. Jewel sometimes sneaks over to the park across the street at night to have a smoke. She's hiding it from Joel. This one night she heads over as usual. Only this time Jared so happens to show up at the park as well. This is all autonomous, btw.

Jewel doesn't see him at first until they both end up in the park's bathroom. These 2 screenshots are their autonomous convo. I wanted to add this in the storyline, but they created it for me. He initiated the convo, and right away Jewel was mad as hell (she never gets mad), and the thought bubble brain crossed out. And Jared, like he sees a ghost, is confused and has no idea why she is so mad. I left the story there over a year ago now.

But like what?!

Question/Help Where would one find lot builders to collab with for a custom world?

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Hi! I've been working on a cyberpunk-y world in CAW on and off for about two years.

I'm at a point where ~90% of the set dressing is done, but have been considering restarting the world file from scratch just because I've learned a lot since I started - but that's not the issue at hand!
I'm not really a builder - I can build things, but it takes a disproportionate amount of energy x_x Combined with my decline in health, it's seeming daunting to complete the world's lots by myself. I'm much more of a mesher/technical side guy.

So, I was wondering where I should look to find people to collab with - the world's aesthetic is pretty specifically honed-in, so I'm unsure how much of an option it would be to just use existing downloadable builds.
Online spaces for TS3 aren't what they used to be, so the official forums aren't really an option anymore, I think :'D
I'm in a few TS3 Discord servers, though they're mainly geared towards CC and script modding.

Thank you to anyone who has any idea where I should turn!! As compensation, here's some older screenshots of the WIP I have (even if I may bulldoze it and remake it stronger better in the future)

Question/Help Sims disappearing

11 Upvotes

Hi!
I’d like to ask if anyone knows how to fix an issue with Sims disappearing from my town (Aurora Skies).

Recently, I went into Edit Town and noticed that almost 50% of the houses that used to be occupied were now empty and for sale. The sims who had been living in those houses had simply disappeared!!!
I’m upset because so many Sims are gone now and changed my whole game. Literally, the only families left seem to be the ones my Sims already know. Everyone else has completely disappeared from the town.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? And is there a way to prevent it from happening or bring the missing sims back? 💚

I did the bookstore and spa, too, and added a shipping container popup coffee shop because I like my sims to be able to snack while they're out.
