Did you know there's a stingray hidden in The Sims 3 files? 👀

While digging through the game code, I found out that The Sims 3 actually has a stingray model — but it's completely unused and hidden! 🐠 Sooo... I'm working on a mod that brings it to life.

This mod will unlock marine animals to appear on beaches, acting both as an addon to "Get Wild & Ocean Life Mod" and as a standalone version if you prefer to keep things lightweight.

A big storm rolled through where I live IRL so I decided to play around a bit while I am stuck inside.

The storm decided to show up in game too lol so I snapped a few shots in the beautiful Salmon Woods.

Thank you @mathmodder for the storm/lightning mod, it is wonderful!

A sort of "outtake" from taking pictures to use on the post where I shared the lighting mod. The aurora from this mod by @mathmodder lingering until just before sunrise created a very pretty effect against the clouds!

A New Outlook on Life

Oh, Boy! Another new baby and some more stalking followed up by some rebound canoodling! Andrew, get it together dude!

With town drama out of the way, it's back to our actual household!

Just a little skill building to start the new day.

And a whole new lighting mod! I know I hinted at this weeks ago, and here we finally are! I started testing out different lighting mods for the remainder of my time in St. Bernie. I've been using Fresh Cut Day by @brntwaffles with @gelinagelina's Lighting Tweaks, but had been toying with the idea of using different lighting for different world play throughs.

Up first is the BEAUTIFUL Sims 3 Beta Lighting Mod by @boringbones. Seriously! It looks like I have some Reshade or HD mod going on, it is so clear and bright and the shadows are absolutely gorgeous!

Along with testing new lighting mods, I installed Tree and Plant Replacements (also by boringbones); Reworked And Improved EA Lights by simsi45; More Light Coming Through Windows by Blyss; the Electrical Storm Mod by @mathmodder; and TS3 HD Texture Series-Terrain Pack by @greenplumbboblover.

And here we are! It's a sunny spring day, perfect for a trip to the town plaza to meet up with Gerald!

I can't get over how crisp everything looks!

Hey! We're outside in the sun and you can ACTUALLY see Simili's face! She's not all washed out or too dark to distinguish! I haven't gone for Reshade or Gshade yet, because my main focus is gameplay and I've always been a little afraid that keeping either of those programs going in the background would cause my usually smooth gameplay to stutter or crash so for me and my screenshots, this lighting mod is seriously game changing. I couldn't stop zooming around looking at everything!

Simili has been waiting for a while here...where is Gerald?

Of course it did...Well, this doesn't exactly bode well for their relationship, now does it?

Guess it's back home for Simili...I wonder what was so important for Gerald anyway?

Oh look...protesting healthcare in the ocean...seems a logical place for that! Facepalm...

At least he's got principles I guess, maybe he's concerned about how much the medical bills will be for the birth of that baby...Still doesn't explain the location, but you know...Sims...

I went to see what was going on at the City Park. How adorable! Pablo is teaching little Stevie to talk! In his pajamas, that I discovered from this point on he was always wearing LOL! And who's that? Guy Summersville and one of his dogs playing drums dressed as a robot? Again with the Sims logic! Bahahaha!!

Oh wait! I hear some commotion!

Who is that!!?? Never a dull moment in St. Bernie!

O...M...G!! Bahahahaha! A burglar and a mime!!?? Why is this so funny to me?!

Nothing like a couple of random townies brawling in the park! This, right here, is the beauty of an open world with story progression! I don't even know who these two are and neither Simili, nor Barky was even here today! This is just what was randomly going on in the park while my sims are doing whatever they're doing! Same with the protest Gerald was attending! This is the best part of TS3, there is ALWAYS something going on somewhere in town!

IWTV INSP - MerMay Pt4: Something Entirely Apart

-- Excerpts from Part of Your World, by @weather-mood

MY THOUGHTS & CC CREDITS

MY THOUGHTS

A [FREE SPACE] entry for @vamptember's MerMay VC event!

Their skin color keeps changing either cuz it's different times of day/night in some of the pics, when I had to go back and redo the scenes; or cuz the vampire skin removal mod keeps borking. IDEK. 🤦

Fun Fact: I had Louis name his Jellyfish teddy bear Jelly Roll Morton.

CC CREDITS

- Mermaidia by @crowkeeperthesimmer

- Unicorn aurora borealis mod by @mathmodder

- I can't tell which clouds lighting mod removed Mermaidia's iconic whimsical clouds (I THINK it's @mathmodder's Cloud Textures mod or one of @wasset-aseskara's lighting mods--I'm definitely use their Sun Halo mod); but I like the cloudy water look it's giving, so whichever one it is, I'm rolling with it. 😅

- I made an No Stars lighting mod, that I'll upload eventually (either in Pt 2 of my Aquatic Set, or separately).

- Poses at MTS

Hi there, don't know if this constitutes as a request, I'm just curious to pick your brain, if you know how to approach this mod idea.

I've been thinking about the ts2 'more traffic' mod made by critiquette, which introduced a lot more vehicles driving on the road (vfx I supposed is what that effect is called). The sims 3 can seem pretty empty because of the lack of urban/wildlife vfx effects in neighborhoods etc. How would you go about creating mods that have to do with vfx effects? Is creating a vfx effect game object (which sims react to/can interact with) impossible? It would be nice if we had more traffic on the roads and every other car could get into an accident of some sort and leave or spawn physical debris/trash/metal scraps/fixer-upper cars that sims could interact with or salvage, you know?

Maybe I just crave more mods that add objects that spawn trash or harvestables or something haha. Wanted to know if you knew about any modders who have delved into creating mods/cc like this.

Hello!! Well, I actually have two mods that do a really good job of shaking things up around the neighborhood! And below is an example of this!

The get out project makes the neighborhood more agitated, with Sims walking and driving. What this mod also does is: instead of sims using taxis to get around, they will give preference to their cars, which will considerably increase the number of cars traveling around the city

This mod doesn't generate crashes, debris or collectibles, and it's not even a vfx, but it will make your neighborhood more alive than ever. And combined with my other Simlane traffic speed mod, it will make cars move at a slower speed, considerably reducing the chances of you seeing one car crossing another, which will make the city look almost like Simcity with traffic more realistic.

For vfx effects the best person I know is @mathmodder , he has made incredible mods for Ts3 too!!

oh…yaaay 😍

I've had @mathmodder's Get Wild mod in my game for a while now and I've waited what feels like forever to see one of the amazing wild animals. And today it finally happened. A male peacock, showing us his beautiful plumage. I love these animals very much 🙂 thank you for this great mod! It takes a bit of patience, just like in real life in the wild.

Get Wild & Ocean Life MOD Version 2.1 Trial

Hello nature lovers and marine life enthusiasts!

I am thrilled to share the LATEST TRIAL VERSION of GetWildMOD and OceanLifeMOD 2.1. This is the final trial version before the official release, so don't miss out!

What is this mod?

This mod combines two exciting projects into one, offering enhanced sound and visual effects. Now, beetle spawners in your game also spawn birds, mammals, amphibians, new insects, and much more! Additionally, sailboat effects in your world will now spawn whales, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, saltwater crocodiles, and other sea creatures. With over 300 different types of animals, this mod will bring vibrant life to your game! Get Wild and Ocean Life Trailer - The Sims 3 Mods (youtube.com)

What's new in this update:

- *Accelerated spawn rates:* Animals now appear more frequently in your game.

- *Increased sea animal spawns:* Sailboats in your world will now attract more sea animals, creating a richer, more dynamic environment.

How to test:

1. *Remove previous versions:* Delete all files from earlier test versions to ensure the new update functions smoothly.

2. *New OPTIONAL Addons:* Update of my old mod versions allow insects to fly more freely, and ALSO serving as spawners for both ground and flying animals, thus populating your map with more wildlife.

*ATTENTION:* These addons increase the number of animal spawns, requiring a PC with good processing power. If you have an older PC, use only one addon. If your PC is powerful, feel free to use all addons without worry!

Get Wild Mod by MathModder (In Progress)

What you need to know:

This mod introduces wild animals into your game map that spawn naturally in beetle spawners. It includes birds, small mammals, amphibians, more insects and reptiles in nature zones. Birds can fly and land in random locations and ground animals can be seen walking around the map.

You can choose ONE from various versions that best suit your world. Select the version that spawns specific animals suitable for your World's location.

Here's a list of potential versions that will be included in the mod:

All Wildlife (City World)*

All Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

American Wildlife (City World)*

American Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

European Wildlife (City World)*

European Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

African Wildlife (City World)*

African Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

Eastern Wildlife (City World)*

Eastern Wildlife (Medieval / Country town)**

*Versions for cities will have additional specific effects that help create a more beautiful environment for your city, such as planes in the sky, fireworks, sunshine rays during the day, and sky lanterns for the All Wildlife and Eastern Wildlife version. **Versions for Medieval/Country towns will feature additional specific effects to enhance the beauty of your world, including hot air balloons in the sky, sunshine rays during the day, and more.

These additional effects mentioned above will appear rarely and randomly in your world.

Can I place individual animals in specific locations, such as on rocks or tables?

In a future update after launch, this function will be added, for now they will only spawn where there is a beetle spawner. Ground animals on the ground and birds in the air.

Is the mod heavy to run?

Within the game I am optimizing it so that a small number of animals spawn at the same time and only spawn at a maximum distance of 500 meters from the player's camera.

How many files will there be?

Because there are many animals and specific animations for each one, the files will be heavy, will be a maximum of 2 to 3 files. In tests in my game with 150 other mods from other creators, I didn't see any loss of performance due to the optimization I'm doing within the game.

It is worth mentioning that some files will need to be placed in the Overrides folder and others in the Packages folder, they will all be specified at launch.

Is this mod compatible with other effect mods?

Yes, it will be compatible.

Bugs:

Depending on the location, there may be some bugs such as birds landing in the air or animals walking a little above the ground, this is due to calculation problems on certain game surfaces and physics, whether hills or mountains, but over time I will update and see What can I do to reduce this. In this case I depend on the engine the game has and whether it is possible to correct certain errors.

Release date:

Between January and February 2024 (It is in the testing phase)
