Hey Simmers, Rudi has a small fix for you today: it's time for my eleventh mod 🦙

While I built my asian mansion, I stumbled over this pretty cool looking paper window, which just emits no light. For no obvious reason. So I fixed it. With this mod, the asian window (catalog-name: "King Qing’s Window") from the World Adventures Expansion emits a realistic level of light.

How to install

Installation: just put all the files in your packages-folder, the usual way, nothing special required, you can merge them as well

requires the World Adventures Expansion Pack to work

merging is no problem

Recommended Mods, that further fix windows, lighting and related objects

Technical Details

this mod edits the "LITE" resource from the asian window, name: "windowAsianRectangular_lightingdata", instance: 0xE9F65BE1B3D53ED4

Conflicts: only if you have a mod installed who's editing exactly this resource as well, but I assume that's pretty unlikely

use delphys dashboard to check for conflicts

Enjoy your newly enlighted freedom. 😊

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)

Here is the list of animals that will be included in the mod:

Betting Mod

Big thanks to @cheejer for the mod idea!

Make your trips to various town competitions more exciting by placing bets. Sharpen up your sims' gambling skill!

Your sim can make 4 different types of bets at the grocery store. Buy:

Horse Racing Tokens

Star Player Tokens (For Sports Stadium Games)

Bot Competition Tokens

Food Lottery Tickets

Tokens must be used within 5 days after purchase otherwise they will expire.

Who wins:

All sims have a base (5% or 10%) chance of winning.

Chances increase or decrease depending on certain traits or buffs (such as lucky, genius, equestrian, bot-fan, loser, unlucky...).

How to check winnings:

Food lottery tickets will be automatically used after shopping at the supermarket.

Star player tokens can be "redeemed" by watching the sports TV channel on game days after the match has started.

Read the newspaper on weekends (Read/Check Current Events).

Otherwise attend the competitions at the relevant rabbithole.

What's won:

Food lottery winners will receive 10 random ingredients.

Otherwise, the prize is a random amount of money between 100 and 500 simoleons.

Other:

Participating in betting will increase gambling skill if you have the required store content installed. It will also contribute to win and loss statistics.

You can discuss your bets with other sims : Friendly -> Discuss Bets.

If you want to buy tokens from a lotto machine, apply this script: Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Miscellaneous.PhoebeJaySims.Betting.BettingMachine

Tuning:

Most values can be tuned in the XML including win chances and prize amounts.

Compatibility:

Made on Version 1.67.

Bakery Stand Mod Fix

Not something I usually post but I just found this mod that helps fix the issue of the children's bakery stand from generation not letting sims automatically buy from them. I figure I should share the good fortune since it can no longer be found normally

It's in this reddit post right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims3/comments/138c81h/childrens_bakery_stand/

2024 Update!

Hello all, it's me again with this ghost mod. Never thought I'd be updating this but here we go:

I finally found a solution to the non-shuffling issue (see 'Known Issues' section in the original post): and that is pretty much the only thing that has been rectified in this mini-update, no new musics added.

For those of you who had downloaded the previous version and wish to install this update, you may either

(a) add in the needed files for the music to shuffle properly by manually importing them using S3PE following the instructions included, or

(b) re-download the updated package file (~400MB) and replace the older version with it.

whichever floats your boat!

HERE (~400MB) [SIMFILESHARE] or

MIRROR [MEGA]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[!] This file down below is only required for those who do not wish to re-download 400MB and is comfortable with using S3PE to manually add in the files themselves:

UPDATE KIT (3KB) [SIMFILESHARE] or

MIRROR [MEGA]

Just put this chunky big phat boi in your Packages folder and you are set to go! :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[!] For those who chose to manually install the update, please consult the instructions attached in the UPDATE KIT.

Do read the original post for more info on this mod. Should you have any other questions, please feel free to send me an ask and I'll try my best to answer them.

Happy simming and enjoy! :)

Idle reducer and/or phone idle killer

These are two little mods that change the tuning of the idles in the game.

Idle reducer The Idle reducer halves the chance of an Idle animation happening. Good for people who likes the Idles, but think they are to much sometimes.

The reducer changes the IdleManager XML and conflicts with other mods that changes the exact XML.

Smartphone idle killer The phone idles are one of the many Idles EA disabled by default by one of the updates for some reason. The Gameplaycore mod from Simler90 brings all these Idles back (And ofcourse the phone idle too).

The phone idle killer is here relevant for people who have Sim Simler90's Core mod or any other mod that reenables these disabled idle animations.

The idle killer changes the Idles XML and conflicts with other mods that changes the exact XML.

Enjoy

Fix: Sims need less Space

TL;DR

with this mod, your sims need half of the space for all interactions, which vastly improves routing in small spaces

each package file requires a different expansion pack. The requred expansion is part of the filename.

Installation: just put all the files in your packages-folder, the usual way, merging is no problem

Conflicts: highly unlikely, see below for detail

compatible with all my other mods

compatible with Interaction on sloped terrain enabler by nikel23

also here's my other BIG routing fix for pets

Download

ModTheSims | Simblr | SimFileShare

Hey Simmers, Rudi has a big mod-achievement for you today: it's time for my tenth and biggest mod yet

Just recently I play tested my new awesome house, that's cramped up with clutter and plants all the way up to the roof, just to realize, that my Sims are walking in the garden to interact with each other, cause many of the spaces are too tight. But no more! With this mod, those issues will forever be a sorrow of the past.

Explanation - how the mod works This mod reduces the space that sims need for doing things, similar to my other mods. It does this by overwriting the jig size for each sim interaction. A jig is an invisible object that’s auto placed on the ground, while e.g. two sims are talking to each other. Other sims will walk around the other sims talking, cause the jig (placed under the sims talking) obstructs the routing-way for other sims. By default all jigs are quite big, in most cases even way bigger than they need to be. But if you reduce the jig size by a mod, than those interactions are possible even in tiny over-cluttered rooms.

Now these mods do the same for all sim interactions.

How to install

Installation: just put all the files in your packages-folder, the usual way, nothing special required, you can merge them as well

each file requires a different expansion pack

the required expansion pack is part of the filename

if you don't have the expansion pack, it's just doing nothing, but it won't cause any other problems

Recommended Mods, that further improve routing

Hairdresser Mod - Download

It’s due time that hairdressing made its way into the sims 3! Time to sharpen your styling skills and start taking clients (if they’ll agree to it, that is)!

Hairdressing is playable from the hairdresser side as well as the client side and you can choose whether or not using the chair takes you into CAS.

Client Interactions

Consider Getting Hair Done

Keep track of your successes, fails and styling skill level with the new portfolio object. It’s handy to keep around the salon/your sims’ kitchen; it may end up getting you new customers—or potentially losing them.

The chair is compatible with the Ambitions Styling Career; you can fulfil hairstyling jobs (even without going to CAS) and gain XP.

Requires: Ambitions.

Recommended: Consort’s Age Mod. Also, if you have FloTheory’s Just Sit Mod, sims may autonomously relax in hairdresser chairs. Keep an eye out and your hairdresser can shoo them off the seat.

The documentation for this mod is included in the download and on the MTS page. Please make sure to read it thoroughly for the feature break-down as this was only a short overview.

Special Thanks To: @aroundthesims for the object and prop meshes which I used—a big, big thank you once again. The lovely @desiree-uk​ for helping me test the mod and @zoeoe-sims​ and @greenplumbboblover​ for their help over on the Creator’s Discord. Also, @misspats3​ for helping me test and penning the majority of the text for the trait-specific notifications. Appreciate you all! Lastly, TS4: Get Famous for the hairdressing animations I converted, and another S4 pack for the other misc. animations.

Near Future Plans: more hairstylist specific interactions, hair dying without genetic hair change, perhaps barbering interactions.

Last Notes: None of these items override the original ATS objects so you can have both versions in-game at the same time.

Please enjoy using this mod, 

Phoebe :)

Three New Pasta Recipes

I was eating one of my absolute favorite foods, Chicken Alfredo the other night, when the realization that I know how to make custom recipes sunk in, and I had a new idea. And that idea turned into this!! Here are 3 new Fettuccine Alfredo Recipes for the Sims 3!!!!

The Recipe Details:

These all require Level 4 Cooking Skill and can be served during Lunch and Dinner.

Fettuccine Alfredo: Requires Garlic, Butter, and Parmesan Cheese

Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo: Requires Shrimp, Garlic, and Parmesan Cheese.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo: Requires Chicken Breast, Garlic, and Parmesan Cheese.

Please Note: The Butter, Parmesan Cheese, Chicken Breast, and Shrimp ingredients come from various cooking mods, but because all 3 of the recipes have Garlic, a Base Game included ingredient, they are also Base Game Compatible and you don’t need to download the mods if you don’t want to. However, if you want the custom ingredients, they are listed below:

1. Cooking and Ingredients Overhaul by Cinderellimouse-

https://modthesims.info/d/548787/cooking-and-ingredients-overhaul-more-nectar-ingredients.html for the Chicken Breast and Shrimp.

2. Baker's Basket Plants, Ingredients and Recipes by Icemunmun-

https://modthesims.info/d/594851/baker-s-basket-plants-ingredients-and-recipes.html for the Butter.

3.   Green Vegetable Plants,Ingredients and Recipes by Icemunmun-

https://modthesims.info/d/555310/green-vegetable-plants-ingredients-and-recipes-update-23-02-2016.html for the Parmesan Cheese.

I hope these make your sims as hungry as I was making them! Have fun and enjoy!! I couldn’t upload the file to Simfileshare at the moment for some reason, so it’s on mediafire instead. Sorry about that.

Insane trait name change - default replacement

Maybe it’s because I’m not a native speaker, but the ‘Insane’ trait name has always seemed so... needlessly rude to me? That’s why I changed it to ‘Zany’ which, in my opinion, is still fitting for the trait and blends in well with the more light-hearted tone of the game. Now sims with this trait will only be called ‘insane’ during rude interactions when the other sim is deliberately insulting them. In every other instance they will be called ‘zany’.

(The icon change is not included in the download. It is from my other mod that you can find here)

The mod is completely standalone and overwrites only a few text strings, and therefore it should not conflict with any other mod that doesn’t replace these exact text strings. But if you run into any issues, please let me know.
