basically makes it a dedicated porn game if you're into that. follow the instructions through the link.
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.
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.
Eli Russell
What's the best place to find all of the sims 2 games?
Eli Carter
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
Brayden Smith
New to the Sims and looking to get into it.
Is 3 better than 4, and where would I find a torrent for it?
Brandon Perry
3 is definitely better than 4 in almost every regard, with the exception of 4 having prettier lighting and better socializing.
Connor Miller
Is 4 still devoid of content?
Elijah Perez
Thought so, but now that KAT's dead I don't know where to get it.
Christian Green
from what I understand, yeah
as far as I know, the sims 3 still has more active players than 4
Dylan White
muh dick
Jack Edwards
...
Isaiah Myers
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.
Caleb Powell
feels good
Sebastian Brown
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?
Ethan Reed
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?
Ryan Johnson
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
Juan Taylor
Got any pics?
Wyatt Bennett
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.
Michael Davis
When are you plebs going to start using private trackers for your games?
Brandon King
I'm the most tech savvy person I know and I know no one who would ever invite me to any private tracker.
Bentley Gray
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.
Ethan Harris
nigga im not putting in years worth of work just to pirate shit

Samuel Sanders
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?
Oliver Myers
I'll invite you, what's your email?
William Cruz
there's your answer
Sebastian Peterson
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.
Michael Howard
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
Isaiah Rivera
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
Jacob Thomas
oop, forgot pic
Landon Thompson
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.
Jaxon Brown
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
Lincoln Rivera
Does an SSD make a big difference with Sims 3, or is an high speed HDD fine if you have monster specs elsewhere?
Ryder Edwards
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..)
Ethan Hughes
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.
Ryder Reed
be sure to make my man sergeant cortez
Jose Taylor
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.
David Turner
I can't tell if the kid is disgusted or intrigued.
Joseph Cooper
You don't fool me user.
Leo Jenkins
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.
Evan Allen

Ayden Richardson
I don't know what the fuck is happening but it's pissing me off
Michael Jones
get master controller, i think it has an option to reset lots which usually cleans up bugs like that
Cameron Parker
That sounds like leftover jigs. Try buydebug to see if they become visible. Otherwise, try resetting the lot.
Elijah Brooks
Also: Never play without Overwatch. It automatically cleans shit like that every night.
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?
Anthony Martin
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.
Aiden Phillips
Nope, thought it might be the ceiling light near there so I deleted it and that didn't do anything either
Justin Williams
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
Blake Parker
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.
Joshua Lopez
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?
Brayden Harris
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.
Carter Brown
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?
Aiden Cruz
yes
Noah Wright
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.
Christian Gonzalez
Sims 4 finally got a crack for all expansions and patches, so you can get that if you want
Thomas Nguyen
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.
Noah Wright
Avoid it, sims 4 is so devoid of content it still feels like an unfinished prototype.
Ayden Anderson
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
Jordan Adams
a-user what
Oliver Fisher
The only problem is bothering to install Sims 4 in the first place
Levi Myers
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
Jace Barnes
...
Hudson Sanders
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
Sebastian Kelly
kek
Jordan Rivera
God damn it.
Evan Parker
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
Oliver Thompson
There is a decrapified third party package installer on MTS, you should be using that
Eli Butler
what's she thinking about, Holla Forums?

Loli mod?
Loli mod?
Isaac Rodriguez
who the fuck built this house?
that deck has no supports
Levi Parker
i decided to sell them when I find them when I caught one sneaking around in my bathroom
Mason Clark
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
Jackson Davis
where the fuck do i download lewd mods?
Jace Smith
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
Kayden Watson
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
John Foster
I've been on Holla Forums more, but thanks.
William Green
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
Cameron Baker
Good thing you explained what colors their clothes are, I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.
Wyatt Ross
i was just clarifying that it's their every outfit
Thomas Gomez
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
Daniel Hill
would anyone watch if I streamed the sims 3
Christian Ramirez
They should have made all jobs intractable in the sims 4, at least then I would play it instead of 3.
Colton Bailey
Best Sims game?
This one.
Jayden Rivera
I loved simant.
Jaxson Cooper
Nice move, however I'd have to counter with this.
Anthony Perez
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.
Chase Sullivan
So an user on halfchan's sims thread made a parody of Tumblr's sim models…
Cooper Rogers
looks like someone came into her eye
Robert Nguyen
the user who made her said the facepaint was supposed to be a cumstain because she's a semen demon
Jacob Russell
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)
Michael Rivera
Eyes need to be squintier and she needs fucked up teeth. Otherwise, 10/10, would throw in trash.
Colton Jones
Wicked woohoo got updated and apparently it's working now
Brayden Robinson
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)
Julian Wilson
Just get the stuff you want off g4tw
Mason Howard
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
Adam Rogers
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.
Aaron Allen
has this place changed i havent come on much recently
Tyler Cruz
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.
Nicholas Ortiz
to be fair ive owned the sims 3 itself since 2013
i get the feeling times and opinions have changed
Leo Bell
Cracked store content runs perfectly fine on any version of the game. Just make sure that you also install the storefix from g4tw.
Elijah Richardson
Urbz vs Sims vs Bustin Out vs Sims 2 vs Sims 2 Pets
Which is essentially best console sims?
Michael Lewis
urbz is the only one i played besides bustin out but i'd argue that urbz is
Jackson Gomez
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.
Parker Edwards
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.
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?
Leo Green
That's normal, I don't know why it worded like that but it just is.
Jacob Myers
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.
Jacob Murphy
...
Nicholas Phillips
still struggling with this, any help?
Jace Ramirez
Why? You own it who cares how you download it.
Sebastian Carter
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".
Ian Brown
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.
Samuel Martin
what expansion/stuff packs are you using here
Cameron Parker
All of them, and all store content, and some CC.
Parker Brown
Jesus. How does your game run?
Gabriel Barnes
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.
Ryan Watson
GUBGUBGUBGUBGUB
Lucas Ward
The railing is the support system. It’s high tensile steel.
Asher Ortiz
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
Jack Martin
They have abandoned all the previous games, you can't even buy the sims 1 or 2 on origin.
Nicholas Thomas
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
Aiden Gutierrez
The High-end Loft furniture is nice. Master Suite Stuff has really nice lingerie, though. None of them are worth their asking price, though.
Joshua Hernandez
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.
Ryder Harris
...
Sebastian Morales
No reason to buy Sims 3 on steam or any of it's expansions bro.
Cooper Torres
Seriously? I remember them giving away Sims 2 Complete for free on Origin a year or so ago.
Jace Perry
And that was it for the game. You can still download it, if you have a license, but they no longer sell it.
Blake Anderson
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
Ethan Bailey
Late Night. It has awesome stuff, Bridgeport, and the best gameplay additions (except for the celebrity system) outside of Generations and Ambitions.
Angel Lopez
aight, I trusted you and I got it
hope you're right
Luke Edwards
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.
Noah Lewis
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"…
Thomas Scott
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.
Dominic Garcia
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?
Cooper Rodriguez
...
Leo James
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.
Colton Sanchez
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.
Elijah Rogers
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.
Joseph Adams
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
Hunter White
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.
Blake Fisher
Other than that, i dont really miss it much as it just made me go too damn autistic.
Landon Hughes
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.
Ryan Butler
But that's why I miss it.
Aaron Carter
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
Daniel Rodriguez
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.
Jace Phillips
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. ;__;
Anthony Clark
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.
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.
Angel Brooks
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!
Andrew Ramirez
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
Joseph Powell
I forgot to add things like a first person mode and VR support
Evan Moore
That will just be one of many horrors to come, friend.
Sims 5 will be dev'd by an all-pajeet team.
Brody Rogers
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.
Levi Murphy
Fun Fact: With kinky world, since it adds public bathrooming, you can make real streetshitters in TS3.
Kevin Collins
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.
Wyatt Davis
Does anyone know of a bikini top similar to this(Like the one Liru wears) for Sims 3(or even 2)?
Gabriel Miller
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.
Mason Morris
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.
Liam Lopez
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.
And dont forget to check out how it looks with Leopard-prints! *hnnghh*
Adam Davis
I was expecting loss
James Clark
Can you do that?
Hudson King
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.
Ian Russell
Sims could really use a more "realistic" spin-off without any of those "lel so funny :-))" shits in it.
William Anderson
overwatch apparently seems to think a sculpting sim is unroutable and places them elsewhere
lmfao

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
Charles Howard
lol
Eli Gray
i know it's supposed to be akin to new york, but bridgeport actually reminds me a lot of downtown portland, OR
John Reyes
Or what?
Thomas Price
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.
Ryan Brown
...
Luke Nelson
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
Nathan Russell
Which version of the Sims have the best loli mods?
Liam Butler
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.
Colton Fisher
I'd also like for them to add a gentrification system where houses can cost more than they did after you move in
Gabriel Brown
holy shit
it couldnt be sold either so i had to use cheats to delete it
Ian Lee
How did you manage that?
Elijah Morgan
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.
Ryder King
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.
Grayson Edwards
Are you using Overwatch and ErrorTrap? If not, start using them. They should catch most problems like this.
Ryder Fisher
im using overwatch, not errortrap
Joshua Ward
and another lmao
Robert Hughes
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.
Lincoln Collins
well i learned that you can just sell it if you leave it on the podium though, so it's no real issue
Blake Kelly
I'l have a better solution setup soon.
Asher Hernandez
She might be a butterface. But, her butt is great.
Nathaniel Taylor
Eeh, that's what paperbags are for.
Jason Garcia
why do sims 4's models look lower poly than 3's
Mason Ortiz
Because they mostly are. A lot of them also have lower resolution textures. TS4 is a fucking joke.
Juan Brown
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.
Dominic Phillips
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.
Nolan Hughes
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).
Xavier Jackson
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 .
Luke Carter
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.
Matthew Jackson
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.
Eli Hernandez
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.
Landon Wilson
4 was supposed to be an always-online MMO-like game, but they gave that idea up after SimCity's disaster.
Wyatt Williams
They already tried that years ago with the sims online though.

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)
Jonathan Long
I guess we can't have embeds and pics.
Lucas Cooper
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
Oliver Harris
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.
Kevin Lopez
what the fuck game is this
Caleb Turner
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.
Luke Young
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.
Colton Scott
is there any mod to bring sims 2 music back into the sims 3 as replacements?
Brayden Carter
bobba
Mason Wilson
Nah they aren't gone, they're still around. There's also Betty and Norman. Which characterfag were you on cuck/vg/?
Owen Bailey
wait fuck wrong one
this is the real bobba
Benjamin Turner
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.
Robert Harris
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
Grayson Richardson
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.
Isaac Hall
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.
Asher Ortiz
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.
Luis Collins
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.
Connor Morales
What other characters do you play as?
Gabriel Garcia
I can't play this game on a gtx 1080 help
Adrian Green
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.
Joshua Edwards
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.
Anthony Davis
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
Logan Peterson
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.
Gavin Wright
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.
Jose Taylor
Too bad there is no CaW TS4.
Camden Reyes
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
Bentley Parker
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
Adrian Morris
Lemon Jelly did sims music?
Isaiah Martin
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.
Jackson Williams
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.
Jayden Brooks
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".
Grayson Brown
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.
Robert Hall
What the fuck, I just wanna play video games.
Ayden Reed
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.
Ayden Campbell
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.
Adrian Foster
lol I just noticed the floating lamps over the counters. That's EA quality for you.
Parker Peterson
Is there an invisible light in ts4?
Leo Ramirez
No idea. I don't play TS4. But, I am sure somebody made one, if it's missing by default.
Jason Morgan
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
William Stewart
That seems really weird, considering that even with the other jobs the lowest position you get still pays like 20 bucks an hour
Nathan Powell
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.
Connor Lee
page 11 a no go

Ryder Nguyen
That's a serial killer grin if I ever did see one
Bentley Harris
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?
Blake Thomas
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
Camden Gonzalez
anotha one
Carter Garcia
I guess it's supposed to look like the thing in the thought bubble.
Ryan Richardson
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.
Jason Wilson
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.
Camden Sullivan
can someone make a mod that allows you to put ketchup on mac and cheese dishes to turn the quality immediately to "horrifying"
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.

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. :^)
Luke Green
She looks really confused in that image.
Jacob Perry
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.

ive got these 5 EPs, are there any others that are good? I have my eye set on uni life.
Aaron Nguyen
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.
Ian Jackson
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
Aiden Hernandez
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.
Ryder Martinez
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.
Cameron Brown
Twinbrook from Ambitions has a Louisiana, damp, swampy, southern feel to it.
Anthony Morales
any other suggestions?
Camden Hall
how well does showtime mesh with the celebrity system of LN?
David Robinson
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.
Connor Green
will it feel redundant to have both though? i dont want convoluted conflicting shit but showtime sounds cool overall
Ian Stewart
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.
Isaac Hall
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.

Asher Stewart
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.
Henry Murphy
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
Ian Robinson
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?
Chase Taylor
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.
