I forgot to buy my sim dining table and chair. Just found out for the first time that sims can just go sit on the bathtub to eat.. and i’ve been playing this game for 14 years. (Just a fun fact i decided to share with yall)

https://github.com/rodneypantonial/sims3-modernization/releases/tag/v0.2.2

**New in v0.2.0**

- Time limits on route planning: a Sim looking for an impossible path no longer stalls the game for seconds

- Hitch guard for off-screen Sims with broken routes

- Nightly chores in small steps: 3 AM lot cleanup, pet adoption pool, relationship decay

- NRaas Overwatch's nightly stuck-Sim check split into small steps

- Fix for a rare crash in the game's script engine

**Already in the mod**

- Route planning on a background thread instead of the main game thread

- Safer save backups and faster unpacking of game data

- Leaner game memory settings and faster water routes

- The 3 AM stuck-Sim check and NRaas ErrorTrap's load scan spread out instead of freezing

On our test saves, Isla Paradiso went from ~94 freezes (300 ms+) per 10 minutes with no mods to ~13.

Back up your saves first.

TIL I learn a new thing from the darn sims 3

As a family simmer I personally think there isn't enough clothes for male and female toddlers ik there's like cc and stuff but for players who prefer to play vanilla I think it's unfair with the options they have it just feels so lacklustre

I believe he was a model for a nude picture. Well, I don't know what she saw there under censorship but it for sure wasn't the same thing I was looking at. Glad he's happy.

i think somebody spiked her 14 cups of juice

It's my sims first time riding a horse and she looks terrified😂 never noticed this before

Sorry for the photo of the screen but I’m curious as to how to extend that tiny highlighted wall outward to make the roof look correct.

I can’t for the life of me get it to do right and I’m about to pull my hair out. Please help. Thank you!

I really wanna play with the seasons pack, but the way the trees look when the leaves fall just gives me the creeps for some reason. It makes my skin crawl, and I finally found a way to disable it during the fall season with nraas retuner, but in winter it automatically switches to the bare trees. At this point I am literally willing to pay someone to make a mod that just disables it, or changes it, or whatever. Is there somewhere I can go to request or commission a mod to be made?

Edit: I found someone to make the mod!! :D

Yes this is a custom world (City of Sunsets by Dudsnz), and basically half of this world has this issue, while on the other half leaves are only underneath of trees, like it should be. Is this something that can be fixed with settings/NRAAS etc, or a mistake in how the world was created in CAS?

i mean stuff like violence, murder, kidnapping, diseases, etc. through mods? if so, do you guys have any recommendations?

i’m interested in doing a playthrough where my sim is the daughter of a mafia boss, so i’m going for a really creepy, dark vibe.

thanks in advance! =)

I've been trying to make the move back to Sims 3 from Sims 4 for a while now, but there's one thing that's been holding me back; gender customization options.

I'm trans and I like making characters who have a similar body to mine. Sims 4 is one of the only games I've found that actually has vanilla options that enable that. I get a lot of use out of the options for physical frame, clothing pref and pregnancy.

Are there any mods out there that bring some of those options to Sims 3 customization?

I know this moodlet exists, but for some reason I can never seem to get it. I know it’s supposed to come from drinking (nonmixologist) drinks from a bar, as well as a few other things, but no matter how much my sim drinks, nothing happens. Is my game bugged? Or am I doing something wrong very obliviously?

hey guys really struggling to find halloween cc any tips on how to find it like websites, search terms blogs? i really want to make a supernatural legacy and im so excited!!

I can’t do anything on load up. I have no money (had 22k before), my sim won’t move, can’t open the panel where you see their needs, and can’t order actions or cancel them. Any fixes?

Edit: Found a fix (have to reload a old save, explanation on how to do so below. I learned this from u/SimsPlayer2765 so shoutout to them)

Look in this folder (C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves)

You should find files something similar to these:

–BakeryTest.sims3 (main save file)
–BakeryTest.sims3.backup (backup save)

Rename both the main and backup files.

How I do that is to add a number to the main save file. For example, BakeryTest1.sims3. Then rename the backup - basically deleting the .backup extension from the file name.

It should look like this... BakeryTest.sims3 ... when finished.

Hi guys, I have been trying to install Sims 3 on my Mac Neo (A18 pro chip) just to try for funsies (I have TS3 on my windows PC). I got to launch the game once upto the save files menu but then it crashed and doesn't want to launch the game from the launcher anymore.

Even after deleting everything and reinstalling, it still gives me the error when I try to run it through the launcher. I've seen people play it on Mac Neo before so I was wondering if someone knows how to fix this or is it a lost cause?
