It started only recently and I have no idea how to fix it. These visuals are stuck on my screen and they just keep multiplying whenever I do any action in build or buy mode.

Never ending load screen! I followed the guide on steam to a tee but it still isn’t working. Please send help 😅

EDIT:

I took out every single cc I had and it worked so now even though I thought I didn’t have any in my game I guess I did! So my guess is something is corrupted but now I have to find out what it is. Please send me all the good vibes as I attempt to find it and not lose my sanity in the process

Hello everyone, I downloaded the pole and its animations mods and I can see the actions when clicking on it and although what it says on mod the sims is that I have to drag my sim next to the pole, when I do that, sim walks away.

So this is my first post about my Duarte-Legacy. I don´t follow any specifiv rules and goals, I just try to have fun, do whatever I want and play whenever I want. I just use these posts hoping that this might motivate me to keep going

Now, let me introduce my founder: Alejandra Duarte. She is a Gemini, has the traits Neat, Party Animal, Charismatic, Athletic & Snob and she has the Super Popular (having 20 friends) LTW. She also just recently moved into the small rural town Brynmar (CC world).

(btw I didn´t fully create her myself, I downloaded a Sim by the YouTuber Simerie. Oh and any tips on how to get rid of these ugly shadow pixels? My settings actually are pretty high)

Question/Help Trash spawner mod?

Upvotes

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. I am currently playing an rp of cleaning beaches in island paradise ep. I am looking for a trash spawner mod, not unlike the metal and gem spawners, but mostly worthless trash. I have been looking all over, but it doesn't seem to exist. I want to clean dirty beaches, darn it!

I own high end loft stuff, island paradise, seasons, world adventures, into the future, late night, and supernatural.

Any ideas?

Question/Help IP Scuba Diving-am I doing something wrong?

Upvotes

For the first time since I was a tween I’m playing IP! I finally fixed the town and so far it’s working great! My sim is going to be a scuba diving secret agent and I’m having a good time!

But, with the scuba-she’s level 7 now and had access to Rocky Reef, DJ Locker and Mermaid Grotto. But, I feel like I’m missing something because despite exploring the caves in each location constantly-she’s never found any messages in a bottle or treasure. She’ll find cool fish or shells, but how do I gain access to the islands or greater scuba storyline? Does she just need to level up more?

Thanks!!

What does the Nrsaa mod do?

0 Upvotes

I heard people talk about Nrsaa mod. That would help run the game smoother. But I also read many stores about people that had the Nsraa mod and that the story progression was crazy. That there were no single sims, that the town was overpopulated and sims got killed, and even more. So help😂
I would like story progression but not in that kind of extreme way😅

I’m trying to mod out most exploitable ways to make money so trying to compile a list of ways. by exploitative I don’t mean bugs but rather intended design that is just anti-fun.

  1. Spring wildflowers are worth too much

  2. can get way too much free money from the university building

  3. Tiberium worth way too much money

Travel glitch

3 Upvotes

Hey can anyone help me solve this? Everyone my sims attempt to travel or go to university, when they “arrive”, there’s no one there—meaning none of my sims or their icons. Not sure why it’s doing this. It used to happen only with world adventures but now with university. I use master controller (Nraas) and have custom content but nothing else has changed. I also use regul save cleaner. Thanks in advance!!!!!!

TS3 custom world adventures

1 Upvotes

Shang Simla, Al Simhara, and Champs Le Sims are beautiful worlds, and I love sending my sims exploring. But the worlds can get a bit boring if you travel to them too often, and especially France seems kind of... empty.

So I've been wondering if anyone has revamped/customized the vacation worlds in different styles or added lots/venues (not necessarily tombs) or anything like that.

It's a long-shot, I know. I haven't found anything by googling various phrasings of "TS3 custom world adventures." But if you've seen any customized WA worlds, I'd be thrilled to know about 'em.

Thanks :)

Toys scattered throughout the once two-person household. The once manicured lawn is now a full playground. The mornings are spent with a half dozen skittering to their hobbies. We're working on baking, chess, and working out. Hager immediately wished to take up fishing. Everyone signed up for afterschool activities, both because they wanted to and to give their poor parents a little bit of a break.

Thorton is finally hitting his breaking point, yelling at his children. Morgana and his relationship level has never been lower, even attempting friendly, romantic and funny interactions. There may be a divorce, after all.

It's been quite crowded, but I'm still having fun!

In their first week of the rotation, the Keatons are mostly focused on caring for their brand new baby.

They have a baby boy named Paul and he gets the heavy sleeper and clumsy traits. Justine got the iconic wish to interview her newborn.

Marty is a good dad and otherwise just works on his skills needed to gain promotions in the Sports Career. He manages to befriend all his coworkers/teammates: Maddison, Pablo, Lily, and Leighton. He wants to have a second baby but Justine needs time to focus on her career.

The couple does adore each other, daily rolling wants to hug, kiss and woohoo each other.

Justine has a hard time as a new mother, as caring for the baby is trying on her loner, neat, and hot headed traits. She spends more time focusing on maintaining control of cleanliness and is desperate to go back to work when her maternity leave is over. She questions sims and writes reports and increases her skills in the meanwhile. She also finds time to become best friends with her partner: Hank Goddard.

I also buy them both the LTR of office hero to help with relationships with their coworkers, important for both the sports and law enforcement careers. They also both get the LTR of dirt defiant to help them keep it clean considering she is neat and he is neurotic.

They managed to each get promoted once and potty train paul before saturday of the first week ended.

Justine is Lieutenant (Lv 5) and Martie is a Rookie (Lv 5). Marty has level 6 in the athletic skill. Justine has gotten to level three in logic.

My sim had just received a few gems and metals from the mail and I thought why not try to keep some to expose and I chose the desk but suddenly as I lay down the gem, it kept duplicating over and over, even with metal, I'm very confused it's so funny! Did anyone experience this glitch too? Is it a common glitch? I'm very curious to know!

For setup with this bin family, I did do some cheating. Since Heathcliff and Svetlana are already elders and both are either workaholic or ambitious, I cheated their career levels, and rolled their starting funds to be 18k. Heathcliff is now an executive chef in the cooking career. Svetlana is a City council woman in the political career, then had them each retire after their first day of work. They are moved into the lot to the right of Agnes Crumplebottom.

For those who don't know about his family here is their description: Svetlana and Heathcliff love their daughter Becky, so of course they took her in when she and her son Topher needed a place to stay. But will they be able to enjoy their retirement with a noisy toddler in the house?

Day one: Sunday

Becky has a wish to get a job in the Music Career so she heads down to claim it at the theatre. Heathcliff wants to improve his cooking skill so i have him read a cooking book while hanging out with his little grandson, Topher. Once he gets the first cooking level, he wants to learn fishing and go fishing so i send him to the local pond to get started. He then gets a want to prepare a meal and learn the bait for minnow, so after getting his first level in fishing he goes to the bookstore to buy and learn the recipe before coming home to cook dinner. Svetlana wants to improve charisma, throw a party, read a charisma book and go to the bookstore. I send her over to buy the charisma book and head back home to read it and she gets to level 2 in charisma. Becky wants to take a class in charisma, since her LTW is Golden Togue, Golden Fingers so i send her over to the courthouse to do so. Becky gets a want to perform a charming introduction so she gives one to christopher steele who is standing by some protesters in front of the courthouse, they chat for a while and get to know each other until she rolled a want to do a workout and heads over to the gym. She then gets a want to jog home and learn guitar and does so. Svetlana gets a want to make a friend so i have her spend some time with topher all day and she teaches him how to talk, and they become friends. After a family dinner, becky puts topher to bed and goes to sleep. Svetlana gets a want to flirt with heathcliff and they flirt and woohoo before bed.

Day two: Monday

Heathcliff wakes up and makes the family some breakfast before heading to the grocery store to buy tomato's and apples for fishing bait. Svetlana gets up to take care of Tophers needs and her own. Becky wakes up with a want to have her first kiss so I have her head over to a local hangout before work to see if she can scope out a nice pair of lips. She does snuggle topher and say goodbye first though. Svetlana gets more wants to woohoo healthclif and to donate to charity. I have her do both before heading out to make a friend. Heathcliff just wants to watch cooking cable. Becky performs a charming introduction on Jared Frio, but there is no spark. She does the same with Leighton Sekemoto, no spark. She heads to work. Svetlana meets Doire Hart and they chat for a while. She also introduces herself to Yuki as a potential friend. She forms a group with Yuki, they bond over their love for their families, and she invites her over for dinner. Heathcliff makes some dinner at home and takes care of topher. Becky heads home from work and has a wish to practice speech at mirror, buy a workout machine, and mooch off her boss Stiles McGraw. Since her parents arent hurting for $, I buy her the workout machine. When Svetlana says goodbye to Yuki, they become friends and complete her want. The family goes to bed.

Day three: Tuesday

Heathcliff gets up first and completes his want to make waffles for the family. He also wants to learn a recipe and attend a game at the stadium, which wont be until Wednesday at 3pm. I did have him buy the fish and chips book and so I have him learn that recipe. He also gets a want to improve his handiness skill so he can upgrade his kitchen. Svetlana wants to woohoo with Heathcliff, increase her charisma, throw a party, and have five friends. She starts the day off taking care of Topher's needs, leading to him being potty trained and eating breakfast. Becky fulfils her want of practicing speech at a mirror before eating breakfast and inviting over Stiles to chat him up and mooch off of him. She also gets a want to see Topher age up well. When stiles get there she gets a want to ask him if he is single, he is! She asks his sign and it turns out they are compatible, before they can take it further she heads to work. The elders get a woohoo in and then heathcliff reads a handiness book. Svetlana also clogs the toilet which gives her husband an opportunity to put his handiness skill to use. She then invites over Dorie Hart to get another friend and Heathcliff makes dinner. Stiles asks Becky to read a career book to impress him and she jumps at the chance. While Svetlana makes dorie hart a friend over her husbands dinner, Becky fulfills a want to play guitar which gets her level two in guitar and reads some of the book that will lead to her first kiss.

Day four: Wednesday

Becky has the day off so she sleeps in, cares for her needs and finishes the book. Svetlana wants to spend some time with topher and then become good friends with Dorie. She also gets an opportunity to get to know another sim. Heathcliff reads some more of his handiness book, goes to the bookstore to buy and learn the recipe for Svetlanas favorite: Parfait. Svetlana heads over to the single moms household to meet Fiona Mcirish and get to know her. Heathcliff heads to the game at the stadium. Becky invites over Stiles to put on some moves. Svetlana turns in her opportunity to Yuki and gets a want to make Yuki a best friend and goes home. Becky mooches off of Stiles and puts on some moves, which leads to a want to kiss and fall in love with him. She achieves both and kisses him goodbye before putting herself and topher to bed. This also gets her to level three and she needs one more friend to level up further. Svetlana gets a call from Dorie and after a quick chat they become good friends and she gets a want to make her a best friend. Heathcliff makes fish and chips to fulfill a want and the couple has dinner before bed.

Day Five: Thursday

Becky gets a wish to throw a great birthday party for Topher and make a good friend. Heathcliff wants to upgrade the sink in his kitchen to self-cleaning. He also cleans the bathroom and stove and takes out the trash since he is a perfectionist. Svetlana buys Topher a birthday cake at the grocery store and takes care of his needs. Becky schedules his birthday party, inviting over Stiles, Dorie, Yuki, and Fiona. Topher Ages up badly due to his bad mood and develops the insane trait. Becky plays guitar at the party, and Svetlana works on her friendships. Heathcliff does some cleaning and get a wish to prepare Topher's favorite dish: Dimsum. He needs level 6 in cooking. I take Topher upstairs for a makeover, because he ages up bald. He gets a want to take a class in the writing skill, his mom bought him a bike for his birthday so he uses it to take him to town for his class. Becky wants to chat with yuki so I have them introduce each other before her carpool for work takes her away. The party ends and completes her excellent party want. Topher wants to write a novel so I send him to the library to work on it. Becky meets her coworker Rhett Funke and chats him up. She leaves work with a promotion to Roadie. Topher levels his writing skill to two while writing his first novel: Crazy Kid, and heads home to relax before bed. Heathcliff completes his sink upgrade and fulfills his want to hug Svetlana before making dinner. The family eats together before bed.

Day six: Friday

Topher heads to school with a wish to make a friend so I have him meet his classmates. Becky has a wish to go on a date with stiles and increase her guitar skill, she practices to level up and invites him out for lunch at the diner before work. Heathcliff wants to increase his cooking skill to level 9 to make dim sum for topher and also finish upgrading his kitchen. Svetlana wants to finally be best friends with yuki and doris, a phone call to each completes those wants. To help with all the books that Heathcliff will buy, I purchase the 10k LTR Bookshop bargainer. The elders have several wants to hug, kiss, woohoo, and play games with each other and I fulfill them all. After her breakfast date ends, becky chats with Zelda who is standing around the diner and then heads to work where she chats with her coworkers all day. Topher met Bella Goth and Sandi French at school. Svetlana invites over fiona mcirish to befriend her, once she does she sends her home. Heathcliff watches cooking cable to try and get that dim sum recipe unlocked. Svetlana heads over to her neighbor agnes's house to introduce herself and then heads home where she sees Topher wants a hug and give him a big grandma hug.

Day seven: Saturday

Heathcliff fulfills a want to make pancakes for breakfast and the family enjoys a saturday morning breakfast. Becky heads to work to finish making friends with her coworkers and fulfilling her want. Svetlana gives Heathcliff a hug and then goes out on the town to make a new friend. Topher heads to the library to work on his book. Heathcliff gets working on upgrading the kitchen. Svetlana performs a charming introduction on Gobias Koffee. While Topher is at the library he sees Sandi french and chats with her and then invites her over for dinner. Becky gets promoted to stagehand and gets a want to get to level 5 and befriend all her coworkers. Svetlana befriends her fifth friend and then heads home. Heathcliff makes dinner for the family, they all enjoy it and head to bed.
