THE SIMS 3 STORE PRE-INSTALLED

Today marks 25 years of The Sims. Since EA forgot TS3 exists, I’m releasing the entire The Sims 3 Store as an Anniversary Gift. It's all pre-installed and works flawlessly!

It comes with all available fixes and collection folders I’ve personally created for every set. You'll get over 5000 new Buy/Build and CAS items, 11 new worlds, and tons of new gameplay!

INSTRUCTIONS

Go to "Documents/Electronic Arts" and rename the "The Sims 3" folder (or move it).

Create a new folder and name it "The Sims 3" (or whatever the name is in your language).

Extract the contents of the ZIP file in "The Sims 3." Now launch the game.

You'll have to adjust your setting again. Don't forget to disable the in-game Store so you don't get duplicates.

Quit the game. Copy the "Saves" folder from the folder you have previously renamed. You can also copy your Mods and CC in package format.

CAUTION

Never copy over or overwrite the DCCache folder.

If you have content installed through the Launcher (Sims3Pack), you'll have to reinstall it.

I strongly recommend you don't install things through the Launcher from now. It already has a lot of content and it is a known fact the Launcher becomes more and more unstable the more content it has to handle.

Since the entire Store has been decrapified, if you want to install lots or world that contain Store content, you'll have to decrapify those too using MATY's TS3 Recompressor.

I had a report that there was an invisible top in CAS. It doesn't seem to have a CASP resource so it shouldn't cause any issues (like being assigned to a random Sim). It's best to avoid it or hide it or blacklist it using NRaas mods. Do NOT try to save the game while your Sim is "wearing" this invisible top.

UPDATE #1: MARCH 2025

Added some missing content: the Mother Russia CAS Set and the Cool Chap Cap that was given as a secret bonus item in the "Make Me an Offer" page. If there's something else missing, please let me now.

Now NRaas MasterController and the Cheats and Integration modules are included in the pack. This version NRaas MC comes with CAS Compact Mode enabled by default. This should fix the issue of blank/invisible CAS items and also speed up the loading of CAS items. Keep in mind, these mods aren't compatible with Lazy Duchess' Smooth Path, but you can have both. Her mod will automatically disable the fast loading of CAS items.

If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to me. I've put a lot of effort into making the installation process as smooth and straightforward as possible. Dag Dag!

Saw some cute flower cc and had to do something with it, trying to get my sims groove back. Hopefully this inspires me to start creating again. ❤️

#TheSims Turns 25 Today. Happy Anniversary! 🥳 🎂

[imnotgoinganywhereok]

My life is such a constant line of pain and suffering, why don't these nightmares ever end... OMG my fav Sims townies. 🥹

Juno's living her life without bigger issues. She enjoys indulging in her hobbies like reading conspiracy books she bought from Erwin and watching him tend the Curio shop. She's also been learning new delicious recipes. Erwin's a tad like a lab rat to her, she's gifting him almost all new baked goods that come out well. Let's hope he doesn't gain too much weight from that. (˶˃⤙˂˶)

Then again, she revealed herself to him there!! Wouldn't you take pies and muffins from a friendly alien with connections to the military? Especially after her getting promoted to a higher-role agent with lots of info at her disposal? Sure, they're on the same side!! Shame they don't know the gov is on their asses now... Oh, well. We'll get there when we get there. (๑`꒳´๑)

Romancing townies sure is fun. This is what I loved doing when I first started with save. I can't wait to further the Strangerville mystery next time I post. I saw a cute ginger and got distracted so hard!! XDDD This ain't right. Congratulate Juno on her promotion, and we'll be on the move soon.

PS. I just watched that 25th anniversary video... Pathetic. The best part was the background pic with Erwin Pries, Bonehilda, Vladislaus, Morgyn, my werewolf girlie from the cover, and a happy Servo. I love my supernatural elements XDDD

WIP: Massive Recategorization Project

I just wanted to share what I’m currently working on: a massive RECATEGORIZATION of the entire Buy Catalog.

We all know how messy the Buy Catalog can be. Items that should belong in one category often end up in the wrong one, and the Misc Decor category is practically unusable because it has so many unrelated items. This makes it really hard to find anything.

I decided to take on this project, and then I had a breakthrough: I discovered how to sort each subcategory without changing the price of the items. There’s actually a system in place that lets you assign priorities to objects.

With this new discovery, I began organizing some of the most disorganized categories, and I’m really happy with the results.

It’s so satisfying to see everything so well-organized!

Here are a few examples of how the subcategories look after I reorganized them (and I didn’t change any prices).

Misc Appliances:

Misc Comfort:

Misc Electronics:

As you can see, everything is super well organized and neat! Now it's super easy to find a stool, or the smoke alarm.

I'm also fixing a few objects, making ALL WALL OBJECTS SHIFTABLE, and adding a few debug objects to normal categories.

So yeah, I'll be sharing this project in a few weeks. First I'll share a file for the Base Game + All Packs, and then I'll start working on the Store content (which is even more poorly organized).

What do you think? Is this something you are interested in?

Is anyone able to get the Sims 2 Scriptorium Lighting mod working in Legacy while also having the Ultimate Collection installed? The auto installer only recognized the UC and I am struggling to get it manually into Legacy. Desperate for any help!
