pics related, Sims 3. Made a journalist sim who quickly climbed the ranks, currently sitting on 240k~ in a 110k~ house. Never had her in any proper relationships til she was rich because all the dudes in twinbrook look like kronenbergian monsters. Just created a dude for her cause I was tired of waiting for someone who didnt look like a gored ogre.

Most of the rooms are empty because only two people are living here.

I'm no architectural expert but i think it looks nice.

bump with a short glass of milk

...

ayy lmao

any trustworthy place to find sims 3 torrents? i've been thinking of reinstalling but i dont know where from specially considering the whole kickass torrents being a honeypot now.

What's the best place to find all of the sims 2 games?

piratebay is probably the only place left with a good sims 3 torrent. in past days i would redirect you to kickass though lmao

RIP KAT you were good son, maybe even the best

New to the Sims and looking to get into it.

Is 3 better than 4, and where would I find a torrent for it?

3 is definitely better than 4 in almost every regard, with the exception of 4 having prettier lighting and better socializing.

Is 4 still devoid of content?

Thought so, but now that KAT's dead I don't know where to get it.

from what I understand, yeah

as far as I know, the sims 3 still has more active players than 4

muh dick

...

4's got some interesting shit, but it's outweighed by all the things it lacks in comparison to the previous games. I wish clubs were in 3, but I'm not about to pay $60+ for them.

feels good

Why don't we make worlds and lots together, Holla Forums?

Am I the only one who starts making worlds and lots and stops part way through? Maybe we could finish each other's content?

isnt there a sims 3 world builder? why dont we make an official 8/v/ collab where we all make a family/house (with varying wealth of course) and then release the final world with the population and rabbitholes and whatnot to the sims general?

I have a tropical island world that's based on that film with Leonardo DiCaprio with the big mountains and the sexy see through water

I never put down many lots or tropical trees because it would take forever, I can't into laying it out and because the terrain is so steep

Also the rabbit holes didn't really fit in

But I spent ages on one of the bays and it looks pretty damn beautiful, I'm really proud of that shit

Got any pics?

When my SSD arrives and I'm done reinstalling the world editor and OS on it, I'll post the world file and a bunch of textures and assets I've collected over the years.

I'll see if I can find the heightmap I used in the meantime.

When are you plebs going to start using private trackers for your games?

I'm the most tech savvy person I know and I know no one who would ever invite me to any private tracker.

It's a bit of a social process and can potentially take a few years depending on how involved you get, you find one "Semi-open" tracker, one that has occasional "free registration" periods, likely a fetish porn one, get up a good seed/bonus point ratio to prove you are a good seeder, and then every once in a while people will post "Will trade invites to [Closed Invite Site] if someone seeds/Gives me bonus points." on forums and if you have the point or the material they are asking for? congrats, you now have a "In" to a popular private tracker with mainstream musicm movies and vidya.

Then you start guarding your ratio like maniac until you get invites that you blow when you want THAT SPECIFIC PORN VIDEO that is only on that one specialized tracker and the cycle continues.

nigga im not putting in years worth of work just to pirate shit

...

Sims 3 is a buggy laggy headache of a game, Sims 4 has nothing in it and seems like they are in no hurry to fix it.

I already know the answer, but is there really no decent alternative?
Is the genre so niche that no one is working on something similar?

I'll invite you, what's your email?

there's your answer

One thing I really love about The Sims, is slowly making a town my own. I just added a chess table, a coffee corner, and a children's room to the library in Riverview. Small changes, but they make a huge difference in how the place feels and plays.

Over the course of the game, every public place in the town will see changes like this. Some will be replaced with new builds, some upgraded with expansion/store content and CC, some just tweaked a little bit to fit my play-style.

I find this incredibly satisfying, for some reason.

the alternative is to git a gud build and play 3

I know, it sucks. I did the same not exclusively for 3 but being able to play it without crashes was a big bonus

i know the feeling, user

I was running out of space in my home garden so I built an additional property behind it for a much wider garden space

for some reason the extra property wasnt costing me any money to build on though, which bothered my cheatless, purist attitude

oop, forgot pic

I did the same, when SSDs were still much more expensive, and it was worth every single cent. You might also consider using a RAM disk, at least for the cache files. See: modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=548125


Either learn how to properly mod and tweak TS3, or have a look at The Singles 2. It doesn't have families or multiple households, but it comes with graphic sex, and a build-in pose editor.

Next OP I suggest you put in Games4theworld link to get the torrents. It has all of the expacs separate and a full collection. Unless you want to keep getting questions from anons like this and this and this

Does an SSD make a big difference with Sims 3, or is an high speed HDD fine if you have monster specs elsewhere?

Well, I have a town with Holla Forums house (Bane, CIA, Hitler, Shygirl, Doomguy, Trump, Ghurza cuntcrusher, Moonman) and populated with all kinds of memes and characters (Gabe Newel, PC Masterrace, Pepe, Wojak, Bayoneeta, Samus Aran, Lara Croft, Duke Nukem, Serious Sam, etc, etc..)

It made a massive difference. Even compared to the already fast RAID 0 I used before. Switching tabs is CAS went from ~30 seconds to almost instantaneous. And loading my biggest, and most corrupted, save game changed from ~15 minutes to ~5 minutes. Clean saves take less than a minute to load now, no matter how big they are.

be sure to make my man sergeant cortez

OK, this is just wrong. I thought these two would use the shower to celebrate their anniversary. But no, the just went and did it right in front of their daughter.

I can't tell if the kid is disgusted or intrigued.

You don't fool me user.

She is too young for shame and morals, but she can speak and should be old enough to understand that the two are having lots of fun.

Judging by here gesture, I'd say that she is trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

...

I don't know what the fuck is happening but it's pissing me off

get master controller, i think it has an option to reset lots which usually cleans up bugs like that

That sounds like leftover jigs. Try buydebug to see if they become visible. Otherwise, try resetting the lot.

Also: Never play without Overwatch. It automatically cleans shit like that every night.

nraas.wikispaces.com/Overwatch

That was the first thing I tried and it didn't do shit


Nothing's showing up with buydebug on either


Have that too. Do I have to wait until nightfall for this shit to unfuck itself?

It should clean up every day at 3am, or you can force it through the nrass menu. Do you have anything hanging on the ceiling or wall? Sometimes those can block shit.

Nope, thought it might be the ceiling light near there so I deleted it and that didn't do anything either

You can find this shit even on non private trackers, Russian trackers are pretty good alternative, the only catch is to watch for supported languages when you're torrenting repacks.

Speaking of Blackcats, is it good Underground Gamer alternative? It was the most valuable game tracker

So, can anybody post a guide on how to install the sims 3? i know there are some expansions that are nothing but bloat but i forgot which ones.

I bought sims 3 in a way that I cant torrent expansions for it

is supernatural worth it? I wanna make qt ghost grils but i dont know if i wanna deal with all the extra fluff that comes with it in the day-to-day world. is any of it frequent? can i disable it?

How do I make futas in kinkyworld?


It's good if you like alternate life states. Alchemy is pretty neat too. You can disable randomly generated sims from being certain supernatural life states and also fully control the lunar cycles in the options menu.

I think I'll go ahead and get it then, thanks user :^)

question: when making a ghost sim, can you customize how the sim died to change the color?

yes

Futas are still in beta, so you need the latest kinkyworld patreon patch, then enable debug from the kinky settings menu. Then go to debug , and select 'transform to shemale' from that list. It appears if you have the 316 patch, you can also get surgery from the hospital to become a futa.

Sims 4 finally got a crack for all expansions and patches, so you can get that if you want

It's still not worth it, really. The content they're pushing out for 4 is way more boring than the stuff the older ones already had at this point in the game's life cycle.

Avoid it, sims 4 is so devoid of content it still feels like an unfinished prototype.

If you have Sims 4 installed, pls extract skintones, clothing and shit so we can put it in Sims 3 to fix the puddingfaces

That's all Sims 4 is good for

a-user what

The only problem is bothering to install Sims 4 in the first place

the meshes and UV alignments are completely different though

it would be impossible to directly convert them over and any attempts to "adapt" textures from one game to the other would end up garbage

nigga I've been doing 3D for almost 3 years I know how this shit works and this shit aint gonna work

...

You say it as though you're putting a sim's textures onto a fucking coffee table's mesh and UV map

A Sims 3 mesh and UV and a Sims 4 mesh and UV obviously aren't going to be that different from each other, all you have to do is extract both so you can see where the UV alignments are on each

kek

God damn it.

They might be in your downloads. World's are treated like other CC and need to be installed manually. Unless they're both .world files then you have to put them in the world's folder in the game directory

There is a decrapified third party package installer on MTS, you should be using that

what's she thinking about, Holla Forums?

Thank you

...

Jacking off two dicks at once, obviously.

I did something similar and made a Neckbeard and an SJW and made them live together, they actually turned out to be friends.

Sims 2 is still good, Tons of content, Graphics haven't aged to bad.

Well, I made sure Hitler and Schlomo became enemies.
Hitler also has assasination skills.

...

Forgot image

It’s just not Sims 3 until you’re fucking your daughter while the ghost of your clone is fucking your other daughter.

how many gnomes do you have, Holla Forums?

Loli mod?


Loli mod?

who the fuck built this house?

that deck has no supports

i decided to sell them when I find them when I caught one sneaking around in my bathroom

selling them is useless to me since i make like 10k weekly just from the properties i own and 15k weekly from book revenue.

also probably around another 8k for my two outstanding money trees among other vegetables i COULD be selling (but am not)

i had all my adult sims retire lmao

where the fuck do i download lewd mods?

just this once I'll spoonfeed and it's only spoonfeeding because I'm shocked that you've somehow missed the kiny world threads that have been going on since december
go here, read up:
8ch.net/hgg/res/10256.html

There are a few for ts4 now, what's funny is that it hasn't taken very long while ts3 has taken forever to get loli mods

I've been on Holla Forums more, but thanks.

rate my triplets niggas

their hair colors are natural, a true miracle of nature coming from two parents of dark brown hair

their mother is T H I C C and for the most part they inherited that as well, the indigo one clearly being the thickets of the three

I also gave them each their own color schemed clothing. left is indigo and grey/black, middle is orange and pale yellows, right is white and red

am i autistic

Good thing you explained what colors their clothes are, I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.

i was just clarifying that it's their every outfit

I think i finally got down the Tumblr Sim clothing style

r8 my uwu/10

I really need to make another email for that troll blog I plan on making

would anyone watch if I streamed the sims 3

They should have made all jobs intractable in the sims 4, at least then I would play it instead of 3.

Best Sims game?

This one.

I loved simant.

Nice move, however I'd have to counter with this.

If you want to break the game, you play as self employed when you can or one of the interactive jobs. I remember I had a sim who was making a large chunk of change daily even as a low level in one of those interactive jobs that it was like a high level rabbithole job.

So an user on halfchan's sims thread made a parody of Tumblr's sim models…

looks like someone came into her eye

the user who made her said the facepaint was supposed to be a cumstain because she's a semen demon

Building protip: Have a look at your build in first person, and ask yourself if you would want to hang out there.

This is a great way to find subtle improvement, or glaring flaws. Like missing walls, roofs poking through, or your sauna not having a ceiling. (pics sadly related)

Eyes need to be squintier and she needs fucked up teeth.
Otherwise, 10/10, would throw in trash.

Wicked woohoo got updated and apparently it's working now

i wanna download some shit i got on the sims 3 store years ago but whenever i hit the download button on any of the items in my purchase history, it just opens a new blank tab with a bunch of gibberish text in the search bar and doesnt do anything

anyone know how the fuck you fix this shit? i just want the small handful of things on there (including riverwood)

Just get the stuff you want off g4tw

I have sims 3 on steam so IDK if i even can

i know for a fact I cant pirate expansion packs on the steam installation

also I personally just dont like pirating for games I already own and enjoy, or pirating for the most part. I know there's objectively nothing wrong with it it just doesnt sit right with me regardless it's like the difference for me between emulating something like GBA or actually owning a nice clean GBA and playing those games on the actual system. for me nothing beats the proper way to play. just a self satisfaction thing

I've sort of got around that feeling with DRM-free titles or owning phys whenever you can.

Fortunately you can still go the phys route for Sims 1-3, and go from there.

has this place changed i havent come on much recently

Well, you shouldn't do that either to be honest, if you have other options open to you.

In the case of Sims 3 though…at least you aren't on Origin.

to be fair ive owned the sims 3 itself since 2013

i get the feeling times and opinions have changed

Cracked store content runs perfectly fine on any version of the game. Just make sure that you also install the storefix from g4tw.

Urbz vs Sims vs Bustin Out vs Sims 2 vs Sims 2 Pets

Which is essentially best console sims?

urbz is the only one i played besides bustin out but i'd argue that urbz is

TS2 and Pets are cut down versions of the mainline titles. At least on the PS2. Urbz and Bustin Out are much more like "real" games.

Urbz. but only because I like the music.
Both Urbz and Bustin' Out are good console spin-offs. The handheld versions are also pretty decent.

Okay, i guess i'l try Urbz.

Did you skip your teenage years bro?

This one?
modthesims.info/d/497903

Already found it, thank you.

Is it normal for Kinkyworld that the descriptions don't work?
It's always something like "Interaction Feedback public denied". Is it because my game isn't in English?

That's normal, I don't know why it worded like that but it just is.

Where did you guys get the Lady666 animations from?
The download on Loverslab is just a text file saying the download will be available in the future.
I remember having the animations for Animated Woohoo some time ago though.

...

still struggling with this, any help?

Why? You own it who cares how you download it.

All fixed, now. Except for the screen shots still being super dark. (Looks like Afterburner does not like SSAO.)

I am not sure about the color scheme, the ceiling needs a pattern, the sauna needs… something, and everything could always use more clutter. But, it's playable, and much better than EA's sad excuse for a gym.


Pirate it, or learn Hindi and bother EA customer "support".

Oh, and the indoor basketball court did not end up as awesome as I imagined it. I might replace it with a climbing wall, or something.

what expansion/stuff packs are you using here

All of them, and all store content, and some CC.

Jesus. How does your game run?

Perfectly fine. It's all a question of the right settings, tweaks, mods, and save game hygiene. And using an 1800€ water cooled gaming PC.

GUBGUBGUBGUBGUB

The railing is the support system. It’s high tensile steel.

Don't know how to help you there, EA has basically already abandoned support for Sims 3. I'd say see if you can pirate the stuff off G4TW

They have abandoned all the previous games, you can't even buy the sims 1 or 2 on origin.

whats the best stuff pack in terms of furniture? i just refunded something on steam ~20 bucks and dont have any games i want to get with it and cant refund that to my paypal

The High-end Loft furniture is nice. Master Suite Stuff has really nice lingerie, though. None of them are worth their asking price, though.

Save it for a later sale and just pirate all of them instead.
EA overpriced everything, even neighbourhoods costed more then brand new AAA costs for fuck sake.

...

No reason to buy Sims 3 on steam or any of it's expansions bro.

Seriously? I remember them giving away Sims 2 Complete for free on Origin a year or so ago.

And that was it for the game. You can still download it, if you have a license, but they no longer sell it.

id pirate them if you could pirate expansions to the sims 3 steam install.

regardless, i've got 20 bucks sitting on my steam account with nothing to do with them, so what's the best expansion/stuff pack besides generations/seasons/pets/ambitions? i already have those

Late Night. It has awesome stuff, Bridgeport, and the best gameplay additions (except for the celebrity system) outside of Generations and Ambitions.

aight, I trusted you and I got it

hope you're right

Have fun exploring Bridgeport, getting your Sims drunk at a dive bar, getting bitten by a Vampire in the VIP room of a fusion lounge, and starting a Band.

Also look up all the mods and fixes you need to actually make it playable.

You dun goofed, Late Night is… mediocre and celebrity system which is the main thing it adds is shit.

Though i think LN did add new instruments to play atleast but "yuippie fucking yay"…

Seriously, Bridgeport is great. I wish I had more screenshots ready to show some of its cool vistas and Sims.


LN's main features were Vampires, City Worlds, and apartments.

Aparments are shit because they feel out of place unless you have a bustlin big city but such cities are nothing but bad performance in 3 and cant even really make your own high-rise apartments it's all premade shit.

City worlds… yeah performance and dont you dare go all:
Maybe if you only had LN installed then… maybe.

Vampires?
Who the fuck gives a shit about some shitty Twilight-tier bloodsuckers other than those with shit taste?

...

Bands, Bars, Clubs, Mixology, the new dances, and dancing on tables are all reasonable cute too.


The high-rise shells are just a bonus. You can make your own apartments, in houses more appropriate for your town of choice. And big worlds only run like shit for people who do not know how to fix and maintain their game.

Vampires are cute, and there are mods for the sparkles. (Which are an optional top tire LTR, anyway.) Never mind that it is always better to have more options, than to have less options.

I've tried, fucking tried cutting down the necessary expansions down to bare minimum with Seasons+Gen as core and playing small island maps with 70-100 pop cap and fiddling with Nraas to disable everything unnecessary and the game will still start running like ass eventually because that's just how it was made.

And considering my computer is built this year solely for gaming it's not even the issue of having a toaster and only mods i use are Nraas because everything else adds nothing but shit.

I get you. And I honestly wish I could help you, but the game is too broken, in to many places, I would not even know where to start.

Maybe it's too broken, even for enthusiast gamers, to fix it. Meanwhile, my last game in Bridgeport lasted for almost 600 days, on a Propus Athlon II, had all expansions, the whole store, a bunch of CC, ~300 Sims, and it never had any problems.

I just try to play on small worlds, 50pop at most these days though those have their own issues usually with there not being any worlds custom or EA that are specifically made for small 30-50pops and the lack of things you can put in though i dont see why you need more than 1 lot for the whole village to hangout/get drunk in.

Sure my game hasnt run like absolute dogshit especially with this computer but after Sims 4 running well and other games do so too it's really hard to forgive some slight hiccups in performance after you've played 100-150days.

Worst are the nights though when my sims are sleeping and passing of time suddenly takes twice as long even at max speed, the waiting even if it's just couple extra seconds…
i still enjoy the game occasionally though, why else would i be in this thread and think 3 is the best Sims game despite it's obvious shortcomings which is probably why im so critical of it. I like it too much that the faults piss me off

The create a style and open world were major additions that were arguably the biggest steps forward in the series since aging, that's why you defend it.

Other than that, i dont really miss it much as it just made me go too damn autistic.

You could try TS2 style rotational play for super small worlds. No story progression, no automatic aging, and regular control of almost every inventory in the world should do wonders for performance, too.

That's one of the reasons why TS3 is a binge game for me. I rarely play for more than a few weeks, with months in between.

But that's why I miss it.

have you tried Sims3booter and accompanying FPS limiter?
the animations in Sims 3 are capped at 30fps but the actual framerate will go as high as it wants. This fixes that, freeing up more cycles for eveything

IIRC the animations and particles of certain idle things (plumbbob, trees) are handled on a completely separate process/string of some sort than the actual game functions so wven when the game lags, things like idle animations stay active.

I have those going on everytime i play because windowed mode and without it the fps goes absolutely ballistic which will just fry my computer up.

EA's own is dogshit but i cant play without Nraas Storyprog anymore so no going back to 2. ;__;

Not when I played it, the lag was atrocious to the point were it became unplayable, plus the numerous map errors such as roads stacks on top of each other, routing issues and a part of the map were sims will get trapped and die.

modthesims.info/d/452601

sauce?

I forgot how bad the sims 3 really was, it's actually more technically inferior then bloody skyrim and fallout 4.

simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3_Game_Help

One of these days I'll find the time and energy to write a big tutorial (more likely a small book) on how to get this piece of shit to run, at least somewhat, stable.

If they ever make Sims 5 i hope they've learnt from their mistakes and will try to hit fine line between 3 and 4, probably with segmented "open-world" as in 3-5lot areas you can freely go from lot to lot but who am i kidding next Sims game will likely have loading screens between different floors at this rate!

Apparently they're going ot make a SIms 5 if ts4 doesn't sell well. What i'd like to see is freeform lots (You change the lot size to whatever you want) and a playable heaven with an angel lifestate, then add an underworld in an EP

I forgot to add things like a first person mode and VR support

That will just be one of many horrors to come, friend.

Sims 5 will be dev'd by an all-pajeet team.

Though if the devs are/were Indians i do hope there'd be quite a bit neat traditional Indian clothing and furnitures (other than shitting accessories) to go with.

Pajeets may be filthy shits that literally shit everywhere but damn if their more traditional dresses and such arent neat.

Fun Fact: With kinky world, since it adds public bathrooming, you can make real streetshitters in TS3.

Grrrrr! I have disabled SSAO, but screenshots made with Afterburner are still too dark and those made with by the game are just black. I might have to reinstall the gpu driver to get the default profile back.

In other news: I found the save game my Bridgeport screenshots come from, and discovered that switching the store-content install from .package to sims3pack doesn't break anything.

Does anyone know of a bikini top similar to this(Like the one Liru wears) for Sims 3(or even 2)?

On the upside: The dark screenshots seem to be a problem with Afterburner. I "solved" the issue by switching to fraps.

On the downside: My heiress is ugly.


There is a similar top in the store. It's not shiny, though.

Pretty sad when games require an SSD to run properly when they do not require it. The latest Batman Arkham game had the same problem.

Still, yet another question; I have 32GB of reasonably fast RAM and have recently come under a windfall and am thinking of a ~250GB SSD for a variety of reasons but Sims 3 could fit into there. So would a RAM disk or an SSD be a better solution for this game, since I can go either way?

EA wouldn't release any flashy clothes. That's a modders job.

…provided there's a that kind of clothing for is something that Sims 3 fans are developing, if not that exact article.

32GB would not be enough to fit my install. I currently use a RAM disk for caches and thumbnails, and an SSD (two actually) for everything else. I plan on eventually going to town with process explorer, to find the most accessed files during gameplay, and add them to the RAM disk too.

modthesims.info/download.php?t=389824
Maybe not what you're looking for but i really dig this set.

And dont forget to check out how it looks with Leopard-prints! *hnnghh*

I was expecting loss

Can you do that?

Gnomes are everything that went wrong with TS3 expansions:

They are only fun once. They are forced on the player, with no option to disable them. They are unbalanced to the point where they can be game breaking. And, they can cause performance degradation and instability.

Sims could really use a more "realistic" spin-off without any of those "lel so funny :-))" shits in it.

overwatch apparently seems to think a sculpting sim is unroutable and places them elsewhere

lmfao

...

It's not the gold that I like, It's the ring in the middle that shows the cleavage.

Thanks though.

reminder to zoom in and look at your house from under the ceiling

it gives you a sense of size and how well placed your furniture is when you actually see the scale of the rooms. having the open-ceiling view makes rooms look bigger than they are

lol

i know it's supposed to be akin to new york, but bridgeport actually reminds me a lot of downtown portland, OR

Or what?

That would fit much better with the hills. Not so much with the sea and the peninsular, though. Bridgeport also has a subway, instead of a tram.

Portland would still be a much better fit for how the city feels to me, than New York. I think of Bridgeport as a tire 2 city, like Portland or Chicago. Sure, it's big, and it's old. But, the rest of the country would take a week to notice, if everybody there, except for logistics workers, disappeared over night.

...

I want a sims game that gives you more linear progression alongside the usual open-ended nonlinear sandbox gameplay, and WASD active sim controls (akin to The Urbz or Bustin' Out for the GBA/NDS)

maybe create a bunch of stories that actually affect the open-ended sandbox gameplay in minor ways that arent totally intrusive but do provide some additional challenge.

Perhaps one of the stories is to take down a corrupt multi-millionaire who owns most public lots and raises the prices of products found in stores and restaurants for profits.

Another could be that ghosts and poltergeists are causing havoc among the town's populus and it's your job (as a ghost hunter in the ghost hunter profession) to take the ghost onslaught out and restore peace

it wouldnt be difficult to tie stories to the career paths you choose and if there's a lack of story content they could drip-feed more in updates, or bundle many in EPs/Stuff Packs

Which version of the Sims have the best loli mods?

Have a look at the "The Sims Stories" series, The Sims Medieval, The Singles series, and "Desperate Housewives: The Game", if you like premade stories and progression in TS style games. They do not have direct controls, though.


TS2, but it looks like TS3 is getting there. Don't have any links, though.

I'd also like for them to add a gentrification system where houses can cost more than they did after you move in

holy shit

it couldnt be sold either so i had to use cheats to delete it

How did you manage that?

it just happens at random

I love how something like this exists. That's a nice insight into the development process at EA.

Memory corruption. The game "knows" that there is an object there, but it can't "remember" what exactly was supposed to go there. So, it places a Failure Object, to let the devs know that something went wrong.

it's happened at least twice now too, which means there's something unstable about the memory processes used to handle sculpting, or something like that. too frequent for it to be a rarity, at least.

Are you using Overwatch and ErrorTrap? If not, start using them. They should catch most problems like this.

im using overwatch, not errortrap

and another lmao

Another possibility is that this happens when the game can't create a sculpture object, of the item your Sim is sculpting. I have no idea how to fix it though.

well i learned that you can just sell it if you leave it on the podium though, so it's no real issue

I'l have a better solution setup soon.

She might be a butterface. But, her butt is great.

Eeh, that's what paperbags are for.

why do sims 4's models look lower poly than 3's

Because they mostly are. A lot of them also have lower resolution textures. TS4 is a fucking joke.

or maybe sims 3 was just super ambitious

having such high quality models and virtually uncompressed textures at the time with create-a-style and a totally open world is pretty ambitious for 2009 and wouldve been hell to optimize for systems of the time. they likely didnt have the same tools to optimize back then that they do now and it would explain a lot of the framerate issues most people have with the game.

The graphics engine of TS3 scales extremely well. The performance problems are caused by the outdated .net/mono VM, and by some flawed and lazy design choices for the simulation.

Fortunately my disk is from way before Origin was a mote in EA's eye, but damn. The change log doesn't even announce any other fixes, barring that policy alteration. Hell it even breaks some features (which I am sure they are never going to fix because EA).

Here it is. #F!ONsyALoL key is in the subject line..
The base game (Core)+expansions+stuffpacks seperated out you can pick and choose.I currently only have three uploaded. I thought I had two and one as well but I can't seem to find them. Friendly reminder, the password for all of them follows this schema {around-the-file-name} . The sha256's are to help ensure that the files haven't corrupted during uploade/download.
I orginally did this for the hgg Kinky World thread, >>10256 .

4 might not have as many polys compared to 3 but to my eyes it looks more pleasing than pudding. and the mods for it are coming out a lot faster than the ones for 3 are.

After the technical disaster that was 3 instead of trying to improve the engine and actually put some fucking effort into making the game run well they just downgraded everything and called it a day.
At least it has a 64bit client now, about fucking time.

I had a Sims 3 from 2009 too, it got detected by Origin and now it keeps trying to update it to that latest patch. I have to run and cancel it every time I open up Origin.

4 was supposed to be an always-online MMO-like game, but they gave that idea up after SimCity's disaster.

They already tried that years ago with the sims online though.

Fixed my own link >>>/hgg/10256

Holy shit Stev where have you been?

Holy shit i thought someone remade the thread and it got bumped up to 200 its just a 2 week old thread from last month.

if people want, I'll make these threads regular

Stev 'ho?

Shit that kid looked like one of Lydia's characters


It might be slow but on the upside we don't die as quickly and the bump limit isn't retardedly high

Does anybody have a spare 4GHz Xenon system for me? Because, I need more RAM to go fast.


I hate buying soap. (pic/vid related)

I guess we can't have embeds and pics.

Don't you mean Xeon?

I don't think they make 4ghz Xeons. Though I'm planning on getting more ram and a new pair of quad cores for my rig

Of course I mean Xeon. (Xenon was the Xbox360 CPU wasn't it?) They have had some models with 4+ GHz boost speeds since Ivy Bridge.

what the fuck game is this

Lydia's gone?
Shame if it is so, one of the few story/avatarfags that werent annoying on cuck/vg/.

I only hope that cunt with the shitty 60s waifu/self insert hasnt come back, Paige or… Betty? i think it was.

Concept art for Olympus, the online game they aborted after the Simcity flop.

The main reason TS4 is so terrible is that they only had a few weeks to turn what was left of Olympus into a single player game.

is there any mod to bring sims 2 music back into the sims 3 as replacements?

bobba

Nah they aren't gone, they're still around. There's also Betty and Norman. Which characterfag were you on cuck/vg/?

wait fuck wrong one

this is the real bobba

That's where any kind of "mmo"-sims fails, who the fuck plays Sims the life fucking simulator to have you're perfect family,waifu,husbando and all that jazz and has friends?

Probably this 100% Aryan übermensch with his honorary Aryan waifu though it's been more than than a year.

that chink's tits are huge

is sims 4 worth pirating and installing? the aesthetic looks both great and awful at the same time but i like the character creation barring the lack of create-a-style

She's Nip not some filthy disgusting subhuman who eats doges you pleb.

Yeah it's worth it, not a bad game on it's own right. Even refreshing to play it at times compared to 3 because the AI/routing? works a lot better+you have to really try to make sims that look shitty which atleast for me made me more invested into their actual daily-lifes compared to how it was in 3 because errything's made of pudding.

Every EA game had to be online at that time. Because, that's where the suits thought the big money was. SimCity, sort of, cured them from that obsession. Sadly, TS4 was already too far into development when it happened.


It's really, really bad. Not to mention: boring. Give it a try, though. A lot of people do seem to like it.

The only good thing about TS4 is that with one of the newest dlcs you can have social clubs/cults with which you can force people to do all kinds of crazy shit, like have Eyes Wide Shut masked fuck-parties. Its a neat feature, but it doesn't justify the complete lack of content or personality.

You can use the NRAAS mod suite with TS3, or a bunch of mods I since forgot with TS2 to do similar things. It's just a bit more involved.

What other characters do you play as?

I can't play this game on a gtx 1080
help

Last time i had a pair of dykes and a loli living in a middle of fucking nowhere.

Nothing that lasts long enough to make me one of the avatarfags though i do have a recurring theme of going all Asian with Honorary Asian+Slav mix for sims.

I had some trouble with my 1070, too. You need to edit GraphicsRules.sgr to bypass the gpu detection. I'll try and find some sort of instruction for it.

I don't really post my actual characters anymore, my main one was this pregnant loli character I made in ts3, she's an adult in my ts4 game

pics related are various screenshots of her

Could not find anything. So let me try:

Find your install directory. Probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3
find the Bin directory, there.
Open GraphicsRules.sgr in your favorite text editor.

Close to the beginning there should be some line looking like this:
if ($textureMemory == 0) seti textureMemory 32 setb textureMemorySizeOK falseendif

Change those to:
if ($textureMemory == 0) seti textureMemory 4096 #setb textureMemorySizeOK falseendif

(Ignore the code tags, if Holla Forums does not support them. )
Then force Vsync and texture filtering via the Nvidia Control Panel.

There does seems to be a surprising amount of interest here, even if its a little slow.


Shit looks comfy. Makes me wanna screw around with Create A World.

Too bad there is no CaW TS4.

Do the preggololi mods well in 3?
Never thought of doing that yet.


Small worlds the best.
I was about to make some small desert-world myself too to play with but got burnt out for now.
kinda shame how there's tons of custom worlds but most "small" ones are either really small 1-lot challenge worlds or not that small after all because almost everyone suffers from "hurrdurr gotta have all the bars and all the nightclubs even though it's supposed to be tiny island-community with pop of 20-40 in the middle of no-fucking-where".

The worst, even simpler neighborhood editor would be great.
It's easy to make lots in 4 that dont look like ass but the placement? and that fucking facebook-iphone game-tier overworld-view just pisses me off

Thy work well, but because there's no clothes you have to either make them yourself from scratch or get The Clothing pack from me, you're also going to need Cmar's pregnancy controller and Progressor's woohooer hack

Lemon Jelly did sims music?

Looking at Sims 4, it's lacking rather a lot of stuff in comparison to the previous games, not just CAW.


It might be fun trying to import USGS data into there for new maps. Or maybe even high res terrain exports from Space Engine, if that's possible.

Nothing has ever come close to the experience sims 1 afforded me. But that's probably because now I play the sims 3 vicariously and feel like a piece of shit for not being able to trim hedges for mucho bucks.

thats what growing up does to you

your childlike awe at things you cant comprehend the inner workings of, things that seem like magic, is replaced by skepticism when you realize that video games are often a shallow assortment of numbers and letters and what impressed you then has become routine now.

I remember when I first played minecraft when I was younger and more impressionable. I was blown away by the sheer infinity I had in my grasp. just being able to move and place blocks at my own free will was enough to send me into a stupor

now it looks bland, I expect it. it doesnt spoil me with new experiences. what was fun back then I can only see as "not the best way to play the game".

The first Sims game was a work of passion by Maxis, as was SC3K concurrently. It really shows when you play them because they are comfy titles you can spend an evening on.

What the fuck, I just wanna play video games.

Welcome to the sims 3, a game so poorly programmed you can't play for more then an hour without the game dying.
Have you tried cleaning the DCBackup folder in "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3" yet? also don't delete the ccmerged.package file just everything else.
You can also try removing "compositorCache.package" "simCompositorCache.package" and "socialCache.package"
You could also try deleting the world cashes but to be save just move them to another folder.

Building protip: Remember that light does not propagate between floors. Use the invisible light from buydebug, to ensure that rooms with high ceilings look right. You can also hang lamps on the upper floor, and then use invisible lights on the floor below.

Also:
Why does the pool table need such a huge footprint? Seriously, how am I supposed to make this look good? I can't even place chairs, or a cue rack around it.

lol I just noticed the floating lamps over the counters. That's EA quality for you.

Is there an invisible light in ts4?

No idea. I don't play TS4. But, I am sure somebody made one, if it's missing by default.

So I pirated Dine Out recently, and what's the fucking point? I have a 5 star restaurant, fully staffed, all staff have max skills and I'm selling the most expensive food. After a 12 hour work shift I only make about 1k-3k. That's fucking nothing, I can make a lot more money doing other jobs, making one painting takes much less time and gives me a lot move money

That seems really weird, considering that even with the other jobs the lowest position you get still pays like 20 bucks an hour

EA doesn't do balance anymore. The go strictly by the rule of "Looks OK, doesn't crash." for their game design.

But, there are probably some XML files you can edit to tune things to your liking.

page 11 a no go

bump

That's a serial killer grin if I ever did see one

That's the biggest reason I don play TS4. The facial animations all look so fake, forced, and insincere. To the point where it puzzles me how they ended up in the game. Have the artists and producers never met a human being? Are they so unattractive that nobody ever genuinely smiled at them?

sims 3 has very genuine, if exaggerated facial expressions. it seemed to take a lot out of the cartoonist's handbook in that a sim could give a very wide array of facial expression in a pretty short span of time

it's one of the things I like so much about 3, the expressions makes it seem as though my sims are actually feeling what the post-its on the top right of my screen are saying they feel, or what their mood meter/moodlets say they're feeling

far from perfect, but even with its faults the game is very expressive

anotha one

I guess it's supposed to look like the thing in the thought bubble.

O.K., there is some fuckery going on here. The upper area is always darker. No matter how much, or what kind of light I throw at it. Even pointing an invisible wall light directly at the wall won't fix it. Adding a floor doesn't change things either.

There is also a dark spot above the pool table, that is resistant to any lights. Even, as shown in the last post, when they are directly below it.

Eeeh, i like the expression on 4 more than in 3 though mostly because half the time my sims open their mouths in 3 it's all fucked up shit.

can someone make a mod that allows you to put ketchup on mac and cheese dishes to turn the quality immediately to "horrifying"

modthesims.info/download.php?t=523004
modthesims.info/download.php?t=520711

Joke aside, the first mod allows you to make mac and cheese with tomato. Use plasma fruit instead, and the second mod will make mortal Sims ill from eating the resulting meal.

...

They all pull dreamworks faces, they look smug all the fucking time even when it's not appropriate to be.

Same, though I actually sort of grew to like the smug faces, especially on Miriam and a bastard lovechild I made her have with Rick

...

meant to say women, not woman

Please no, you better just be some user using /tsg/-town or something and not that fag him/her/xiryougonnagetgassedself.

Building protip: If you can't solve a problem, cheat.

The lighting glitch is still there. It's just less glaring, now. The bottom wall covering would be better with a crown, but I have fucking had it with this lot.

Biggest 'glitch' in that picture is the negress working. :^)

She looks really confused in that image.

She's the only darky in the town. I usually fix those, when the game creates random puddings. But once in a while I try make one look African or mixed, instead.

...

Role Sims stay out of the gene pool. So, keeping a single black chick around is mostly harmless.

Nah, I'm just some cunt who happens to have /tsg/ town. I'm putting most of my attention towards my self-insert and his family in the game at this point

but who did you mean by "him"?

A god the game glitched out and summoned a duplicate.

Would it be gay, if it was with a clone? Or, would it be more like masturbation?

...

Yes

If you were a girl and you had a clone, would you fuck yourself?

Yes.

ive got these 5 EPs, are there any others that are good? I have my eye set on uni life.

UL has nice stuff, but I am not a fan of the gameplay. It adds at least two week to your Sim's lifespan, that you have to play out of town, with a single household of young adults or adults. No family, no switching households. And the rewards for it are not really worth it.

Let me be controversial and suggest Showtime. It has awesome stuff, adds three active performer careers, a town with some nice rabbit holes, new lot types, street performers, and the ability for your Sims to watch live shows that you can see too.

Everything in Showtime seamlessly integrates into every type of game. UL, in my opinion, only really works for single household, one generation games.

I'll think about it then, i was worried about the same things you mentioned about UL so I think I'll hold off on it.

I didnt get much of a chance to try Supernatural, I refunded it on reaction because it populated the CAS with a bunch of shit none of which I wanted and I felt that supernatural stuff wouldnt work well with how i play and enjoy the game. I honestly only REALLY got it because creating qt ghost waifus and i was hoping it had good build/buy/CAS additions

Oh, SHT also has the Diva trait. And the Natural Born Performer trait, with its "TaaDaa!" interactions.

I wish I had a video, but the TaaDaa! alone would make it worth it for me.

It also has the pool table, the domino table, the pull-up bars, the dance sphere, and the infamous banana tree, not to mention sing-a-grams.

Is there a world in Sims 3 that's similar in feeling to Willow Creek from Sims 4? I love that deep south New Orleans type aesthetic.

Twinbrook from Ambitions has a Louisiana, damp, swampy, southern feel to it.

any other suggestions?

how well does showtime mesh with the celebrity system of LN?

Witches and Fairies from Supernatural are super cute. If you like that sort of stuff.

World Adventures plays like a spinn-off game, if you go for the whole adventure thing. Although traveling integrates much better with the rest of the game, because you can just go for a day or two. Which can be nice for stories like honey moons and such.


Almost not at all. I think the careers do give you some LN points, now. But, it has its own reputation system, and initially they did not interact at all.

will it feel redundant to have both though? i dont want convoluted conflicting shit but showtime sounds cool overall

And then there is Supernatural's Alchemy. Which is super fucking cheaty, but sort of useful. It has potions to double LTR points, make your Sims super happy, turn them into supernaturals, turn supernaturals (including Simbots from Ambitions) into humans, make them gain skills faster, and to mess with Sims and cause a bunch of havoc in the neighborhood.


They really don't interact with each other. SHT's reputation system is also not as invasive as LN's. It is only relevant to the SHT careers.

Can I still pirate the expansion content if I buy TS3 from steam?
I've been downloading torrents for weeks and none of them have worked.

nope, cant pirate EPs to a steam installation

Just pirate the base game, too.

I've been trying.
got a magnet link?
anyone?

games4theworld.org/downloads.html

Base game alone is near the bottom of the page.

got showtime, hope user was right

Shame on you for giving EA money.

i accept money from valve anyways, im already too far down the jewish rabbit hole

The fag who made "teehee such unique quirky speshul snowfleik :^)" LionGrill in the first place.

I dont usually dislike cuckchan's /tsg/ avatary~fags but her/him whichever it is fucking pissed me off.

The objects are shit, so are the what few new clothes there are and your "seamless integration" is jackshit atleast for me because the worlds i play are small for comfy and performance reasons so there's only 1 hangout slot or dive bar and im not ruining that lot with some shittyass stage for "m-muh magician/acrobats" shit.

It's the worst fucking expansion, atleast LN added some nice instruments and the rest of the objects and clothing werent bad either.

Oooh, you mean Blackroom. Yeah they're a cunt, a hypocritical one, too, cause at first they actually didn't mind me and were even interested in my character and now they see me as an unoriginal hack because obviously The Sims needs fucking copyright discourse

So… let me guess…
You gave one of your sims the tail and ears while having some 'slight' similarities perhaps with hair/colors to lionshit?

anyone here somewhat proficient in modding?

this shirt has no reason to be locked into a full outfit. I assume the shirt and pants are one model, but would it be possible to splice the shirt out and convert it into a top? if someone can decompile/recompile that sort of shit, I could use my intermediate 3D skills to chop it up.

shit forgot image

Not even that, I was just using their characters in my game, I did make a catgirl but she's black and a lot skinnier, unless he thinks he somehow owns the concept of a fucking neko

Pic related is the black catgirl, her name is a fucking pun on two different cat breeds

...

Were past the bump limit.

New thread when?

New thread

This. If you really wanna buyfag an EA game, get a used physical copy. And if that doesn't exist, then don't bother.
