Details:

Price: 28,940 Lot Size: 10x10 Version: 1.42 Store Content: None CC Used: None Packs Needed: The Sims 3, Ambitions File Type: Package

Hello! I created this lot a long time ago when I wanted to place a consignment store in Sunset Valley but didn't really liked the premade lot EA provided because it was too big and a consignment lot was not a priority for my active family at the time.

Click on the Keep Reading below for more information and pictures on this lot.

I cleaned this lot of CC clutter and kept it strictly for Ambitions expansion pack, which is required for the consignment lot to work in your game.

This is a flat lot with a size of 10x10, making it easier to place in any world or flat surface.

For some reason, this lot is popular with inactive sims and it can get a little crowded. So I removed anything that requires them to linger in that small space (television, radios, gaming tech) except for the small bookcase in the corner. I placed two couches upstairs for them to use and it's mostly decor on the second floor with a "dressing room".

This lot has been play-tested and I've used it in all my saved games. Let me know if you experience any problems on your end.

1st Floor:

Consignment Register

The Sims 3 and Ambitions Clutter: Kitchen items, old end tables, mirrors, paintings, lamps, books and knick knacks

2nd Floor:

Clothes Rack

Dressing Room

Couches

Mirrors

I'm having so many ideas at this moment, my WIP list with half finished builds is growing lol (this is the new consigment store :P)

[declaration-of-dramas]

This is what paintings look like if my sim buys them from the Consignment Store, painted by other sims who have allegedly placed them up for sale.

This one has a back story, that I might tell soon. But does anyone know if it's my painting overhaul mod causing this or do you have the same issue if you buy other sims' paintings from the CS?

Tiny Town Challenge Expanded - The Sims 3

The inspiration for this challenge came from Deligracy's Tiny Town challenge for The Sims 4 (Original rules HERE). I loved the idea of the challenge, but The Sims 3 has a huge advantage: it already has an open world, so the houses didn't need to be restricted to one lot, but instead, we could build a real community. That's why, in addition to translating, I took some time to adapt it in the best possible way to everything that TS3 offers us.

I kept the characteristics of the Sims from the original challenge as best as I could, but adapted them to keep them as "autonomous" as possible.

I have all the expansions and stuff packs, so feel free to do only what fits into what you already have in your game and/or adapt it as best you can.

When I saw the Stardew Valley map by @boringbones, I felt this would be a perfect match! You don't have to start on the same map as me, but I strongly suggest you start on a tiny or small mapto really have the proximity between the lots and, even better, if it's empty so you can populate it as you play with the Sims.

I'm just starting to play this challenge, so not all the rules have been tested. I will adapt as needed and welcome suggestions.

Tags: #TinyTownTS3 #tiny town challenge ts3 or tag my "@". I would love to know you're playing too. 😍

The Goal

The goal of this challenge is to build a town with tiny houses for up to 16 Sims (depending on whether you want to use mods or not or which packs you own) that match their desires and skills.

You can watch my gameplay of this challenge on my YouTube channel here. (link to be available soon)

The Stardew Valley map can be purchased here (link for download).

The Rundown

Each Sim has a set skill that you must utilize to fund the construction of their tiny home. For example, Frank Stem likes flower arranging, so you must sell flower arrangements to fund his Tiny House build.

You must also represent each Sim's favorite style and color in the build (see the Sim characters below). You can only work on one Sim's house at a time, moving each Sim in individually as you "unlock" them.

To "unlock" the next Sim, you must complete the previous Sim's home.

How to Play

Start by moving your first Sim into a lot of your choice.

To select your first Sim, you can use an online randomizer or simply choose your favorite.

After moving your first Sim in, use a money cheat to set the Sim's money to $0.

Each Sim should start on their lot with their skill item of choice and some useful items. They also start with a sleeping bag (requires Generations), a mini fridge, and an All-in-One Bathroom (requires Island Paradise, Into the Future, or Movie Stuff). Feel free to adjust these items if you don't have the necessary packs. After placing these items on the lot, set the money back to $0.

After finding your skill items, start earning Simoleons by selling your creations!

Use this money to build your Sim's tiny home!

Since we don't have a sales table in The Sims 3 like we do in The Sims 4, I suggest that all collectibles and creations be sold at the consignment store (requires: NRAAS Consigner - [link HERE]).

Extra Rules and Ideas

Your Sims can contribute to community areas to help other neighbors when they move in and to create a pleasant sense of community and lifestyle. Ideas could be a shared laundry, bathroom, BBQ area, garden, central square, pool, etc.

As you play, your town will grow and your community will become fuller. When you reach the last Sim, you can go back to playing with the first family, and here, my suggestion would be to put everyone in a rotational household using Story Progression and evolve with each family.

If you don't have all the necessary packs, feel free to alter the challenge to suit the packs you have, or use the base game features. There are many ways to make money, including tasks like collecting valuable objects or careers.

You can play on any lifespan, but I suggest playing on epic or disabling aging altogether to get the most out of your Sims.

According to the original rules, you can use cheats, rewards, and anything else to make it easier, but keep in mind that the easier you make it for yourself, the less challenging it will be!

100 baby tricks and tips for a more fun and easy gameplay!

turn off aging :After you make your mama for the challenge and place her where you want to live turn aging off! ( don't worry we will turn it back on later ) once aging is off collect enough satisfation points to buy the beugiling trait as it will help you when flirting with donors.

(optional) keep aging off while you gather a bunch of money for you sims family to live comfy and have everything they need i.e a nice house, all the stuff inside the house. a good time for making money fast is using the selling on plopsy game feature (if you have that pack) go to the consignment store in cooperdale and create outfits to sell, set the prices for each out fit starting at $100,000 or more. then just keep relisting them till they sell and make you a ton of money… here is one of lilsimsie's videos that shows how to do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZWUDguCYQw&list=PLR2BL6OmNjXb4x3zo7kAQ2PkObs70OkwJ&index=35

if you dont want to use the 2. way of making money then turn aging back on and i would reccommend gardening as it makes a ton of money quickly.

make sure your house has an area for just toddlers in it, make this room kid of big as they will need room to skill build. to help toddlers gain their skills as quick as possible (level 3 in all areas) use the following items, the toddler slide for movement, the blocks for thinking, the play tent or allow your toddlers to make messes for imagination, the blarffy for communication and obviously a potty for potty skill. DO NOT USE THE WABBIT TABLETS THEY ARE SLOW AND TAKE FOREVER FOR TODDLERS TO GET THEIR SKILLS. 5.kids and teens: create a group for the kids and teens in your household (remember to remove them once they move out of the house to make room for future kids in the group) this group will be for doing their homework togeather so that they actually do it. create the homework group, and make the only activity doing homework, call meetings for the kids whenever you need to have them do their schoolwork.

finding partners for your mama sim: if you have lovestruck use the blind date option it will send you sims who are already interested in you, once on the date use that beugile social interation you bought earlier (it is important to do this action first so the rest of the romantic interactions dont get rejected) then just proceed with romantic socials until first kiss pops up and your set to make another baby! 7.if you don't have lovestruck i suggest making another group for just mom and potential donors, have mom be the group leader, add donor sims into the empty spot and for group actvities choose things like kissing, romantic socials, woohoo etc. call the meetings when you need a new donor. 8.recommended mods for easier game play: mcc command center/mc woohoo and UI cheats

if you have mcc installed, when it is time for the kids to age up, instead of doing birthday cakes, a much quicker method is by clicking on the birthday sim > mcc command > sim commands> set age> click on desired age group

making food: since there will be a lot of sims eating i reccommend buy your household the banquet table. once placed select "serve all" and place the food that appears on the table into a fridge. also buy the bakery display case fridge for any toddlers to grab food from so that your older sims do not have to feed them they can just grab food whenever needed.

if you have crystal creatations pack, get some plumbob off the gallery or find it on your own, and craft a gem from it, charge it and place it in the toddler and infant areas to keep them happy all day and night so they can sleep/eat and cry less and just skill grind! HAVE FUN!

extras: download mystery costume donors off the gallery, or make your own! give each of your kids their own indiviuality in cas ! take pictures of your kids before they are moved out of the house to hang up and look back at or pictures of the baby donors! use the birth certificate mod or realistic birth mod for more realism in the game. use the reverse aging potion to turn back the clock on your baby mama if you want to use her for the whole challenge.

CHAMPIGNAC ... FEW LAST DETAILS :)

Nothing, everything is fine under the sun of this hot summer :D

The General Hospital is a Maxis one, but from Riverview. @nornities ( thanks A LOT for his/her patience to check Champignac ) pointed to us different things : missing mostly. so, somes of you may not see the Hospital ( Hopital des Bleuets ) in their game.

Bad links are currently corrected and both CC sims3packs folder and CC packages folder updated to include few missing stuff, including the Fresco Market items and the Skylight Studio roof elements we used + the Riverview Hospital :) HERE

The Open Swimming pool ( Champignac Bains Romains ) has lost its border texture ... don't worry : just replace with a one you like :)

The School is not the good one : too many missing stuff there, so we are currently uploading a new Champignac save game which should correct the little mistakes here and there HERE

Our Carpets Rabbit Holes folder had to be updated to get the Bistro RH : it is currently done ! But, you have to re-download the Rabbit Holes HERE

Our apologizes for this ! Really ... Anyway, we'll upload in the next hours a folder with ALL Community Lots and another one with ALL the residential Lots :) Just in case ... And here the 2 listings :

We have carefully furnished all the houses of Champignac to avoid half empty houses when visiting your Sims friends in town but not too much to avoid useless weight ;)

Do you know the origin of the name Champignac ?

We'll ... Champignac is a village from Spirou & Fantasio which is one of the most popular classic Franco-Belgian comics. The series, which has been running since 1938, shares many characteristics with other European humorous adventure comics like The Adventures of Tintin and Asterix. It has been written and drawn by a succession of artists ... Spirou and Fantasio are the series' main characters, two adventurous journalists who run into fantastic adventures, aided by Spirou's pet squirrel Spip, the Marsipulami, and their inventor friend the Count of Champignac ... :D

Once again, sorry for the inconvenient. All files should be ok now, and oh ! one last detail ... Have Fun ! \o/

My first real post about my Sims story! I don't have main characters anymore because I'm playing rotationally, in the manner Sims 3 intended. I use Nraas to keep dreams/opportunities but I don't stop my sims from doing anything else.

I can predict a question " What if your Sims do something you didn't want?" It's simple you see, I kill them. Just kidding 😅 my whole point with this is to experiment with boring bone's social consequences mod and see what they get up to. Anywho, onto pics!

Welcome to Capp & Capp Co. My assignment for the day. I know it takes some simmers days to finish a building this big, but I'm short on time, so I'll show what I've done so far. BTW I decorate, I can't build to save my life (or sims lives for that matter). This building is off the sims 3 exchange.

On the first floor we have...a damn mess. The whole thing is tagged as a consignment store, and the first floor was decorated as one upon download. I've been perfectly happy with it until today, when I started messing with it because I was decorating upstairs. I'm thinking about making it a jewelry store 🤔 and the dimensions are good for one. I added a couple glass counters and a changing table to the bathroom. I deserve no credit for this 😅.

Upstairs thanks to the fabulous phoebejaysims, is a boutique! It took so long to decorate it that the mannequins don't have outfits yet. But I'm really happy with this store. I'm considering making a more male friendly store, since I did make this pretty girly. Maybe upstairs?

The top floor currently houses my real estate office. I only have one real estate agent, and she's rich. So maybe I should make her a home office. If I were to make a more male centered clothing store, it would definitely go up here.Make the whole thing a department store, and switch the lot type to market. I'll probably end up switching the lot type regardless, since i do have plans for a seperate consignment store.

Maybe the male centered clothing store would be blue? 🤔 I have the cc to accomplish my vision. I didn't mention this before, but I'm playing in Northbend. It's so gorgeous! I don't have any closed rabbit holes in my town (all playable buildings) and I'm having a ball making everything fit with the sims who live there.

I'd like to take a moment to thank each and every person who makes mods and cc for the Sims 3. I've been playing this game for 15 years, and right now I am having the greatest time I have ever had playing. There are not enough words to express my gratitude, and I deeply thank you all! 💜

More Veronaville

Lately I've been making sims for my three cemeteries. Yes, there are 3! Because God knows, the Capps and Montys can't bury their dead in the same place - nor do they want the town's riff-raft next to their dearly departed. Anyway, I hate CAS - as you all know - so in between creating dead sims, I'm still working on the town itself.

One of the things I did, was replace the city hall with one of those 3-in-1 rabbit holes. Mostly because 1) I am too lazy to do the whole military base and 2) I needed the spot where the police station was for my live show venue. In any event, I think this rabbithole looks nicer in this town. I'm guessing it came from that boat ep, but since I hardly ever play that world, I didn't remember it. But I do like it here. I've added a podium so my politicians can wax poetic, trying to con the populace into voting for more taxes, and a soapbox for my protestor sims. Plus Sandy's bike park shelter for the bicycles.

This is my new consignment store. It's right across the street from where the old police station was. I found the original lot over on TSR. I just "fixed" it, by redoing the landscaping, adding some vines on the building and signage. The white building I left empty, mostly because it has a weird set-up inside, having been built on a different level than the main build. So, it's just set-dressing.

And here's the new live show venue lot where the police station was. In danjaley's version, she had also had an old Globe Theater in her town, which shared a lot with a theater rabbithole. I really liked that idea, so when I saw this lot over on Mod the Sims, I grabbed it. In my town history, this was scheduled to be torn down, but Consort Capp said, "Over my dead body!" To which Patrizio responded, "That can be arranged!" Anyway, the Capps prevailed in saving it by having the building registered on the Sim National Register for Historic Sites. For those of you who don't know, that means it can't be torn down - ever. Anyway, old Patrizio blocked all funding for its restoration, so the Capp family footed the bill - with the stipulation that their name be added to the National Registry plague out front. This royally ticked off the Montys, since 1) it makes the Capps look magnanimous and 2) this building is actually on the Monty side of the main island. So, they built a new theater on the Capp side. (More pictures of that later).

Anyway, I think this was built before Showtime came out, since the original stage wasn't a 'real' stage. I made it a bit smaller so that I could put those benches out front and then used that smaller 6 by something stage. Then I went outside and relandscaped the lot. Go, me!

Heacock’s Department Store, Roaring Heights - community lot makeover #1

Formerly the Landgraab Sell n’ Swap Consignment Store.

This was a little project that I did the past few weeks, a lot makeover of the Landgraab Consignment Store. I converted it to a “department store,” adding many features from different DLCs, such as selling nectars, elixirs and clothing, a cafe, and a photo studio, where I can take pictures of my sims for my mood boards and portraits. The lot has now a total of 3 floors.

The name and design of the building was inspired by an old department store building in Escolta, Manila of the same name. For reference, you can go to the Manila Nostalgia blog post about the building.

The first floor has the window displays, shelves of goods and decor, toilets, and the consignment, nectar and elixir cash registers. The second floor has the clothing store, with mannequin and clothing displays, and fitting rooms.

Note: THIS IS NOT A DOWNLOAD... yet. If you’re interested, I can upload this to my Google Drive or The Sims 3 Exchange. I used A LOT of EPs, SPs, and Store stuff here, so I’m having second thoughts on uploading this online for download. Let me know what you think. Thank you!

[gnomeofinvention]

Hobbyhorse Consignment Store

A lot of the Sims in this town make their primary income through consignment sales, since there are a limited number of careers available. It's also a popular lot for group outings because there are some fun things to do, like have tea, read books, or use any skill items that may be for sale that season (I randomly select two items each round).

The consignment store takes up only a quarter of the building; the rest of it is virtually empty to leave room for Sim-owned shops using the Savvy Seller set (with the Savvier Seller mod by @anitmb).

[alexbgd]

Today I’m sharing a lot inspired by The Elixir Consignment Store from The Sims 3: Supernatural. 🎃

http://simfil.es/1411950/

All cc is in the RaR folder and just to say huge thanks to all creators who made this possible as @shastakiss, @hafiseazale, @zeussims, @esotheria-sims and others. 👹

Oh my goodness, so much better! ❤

LANDGRAAB SELL N'SWAP

Remodeling of Landgraab Sell n'Swap, a consignment store in Sunset Valley.

Renovated on patch 1.67 - Lot from Ambitions (Size: 30x30) -  Lot label = Consignment Store. Changed the front facade quite a bit and added a few more shop shelves inside. I might recolor the sign above front doors (from Supernaturals), if I do so I'll add a link to it here.

Using Items from: 

No CC, No Store Item

EPs: WA, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Seasons, University Life and Island Paradise.

 SPs: High End Loft, Fast Lane, Outdoor Living, Town Life. I also own Diesel, 70s,80s &90s and Movie Stuff , but I’m pretty sure I haven’t used anything from these in this lot.

DOWNLOAD

I use markers on my lots: level skip, hidden room, public room… So to be able to modify any of  these buildings you need to have cheats on:  ‘testingcheatsenabled true’, then ‘restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false’ To see/remove the markers you need ‘buydebug on.

[3rdculturesims]

This department store is zoned as a consignment store

[wanderingsimsfinds]

As mentioned previously, I like to build my community lots rather than use Rabbit Holes. Instead of taking millions of pictures of all the individual CC, I decided to share sets/pieces that I find useful for making specific types of community lots.

100 baby tricks and tips for a more fun and easy gameplay!

tips n tricks

turn off aging :After you make your mama for the challenge and place her where you want to live turn aging off! ( don't worry we will turn it back on later ) once aging is off collect enough satisfation points to buy the beugiling trait as it will help you when flirting with donors.

(optional) keep aging off while you gather a bunch of money for you sims family to live comfy and have everything they need i.e a nice house, all the stuff inside the house. a good time for making money fast is using the selling on plopsy game feature (if you have that pack) go to the consignment store in cooperdale and create outfits to sell, set the prices for each out fit starting at $100,000 or more. then just keep relisting them till they sell and make you a ton of money… here is one of lilsimsie's videos that shows how to do this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZWUDguCYQw&list=PLR2BL6OmNjXb4x3zo7kAQ2PkObs70OkwJ&index=35

if you dont want to use the 2. way of making money then turn aging back on and i would reccommend gardening as it makes a ton of money quickly.

make sure your house has an area for just toddlers in it, make this room kid of big as they will need room to skill build. to help toddlers gain their skills as quick as possible (level 3 in all areas) use the following items, the toddler slide for movement, the blocks for thinking, the play tent or allow your toddlers to make messes for imagination, the blarffy for communication and obviously a potty for potty skill. DO NOT USE THE WABBIT TABLETS THEY ARE SLOW AND TAKE FOREVER FOR TODDLERS TO GET THEIR SKILLS. 5.kids and teens: create a group for the kids and teens in your household (remember to remove them once they move out of the house to make room for future kids in the group) this group will be for doing their homework togeather so that they actually do it. create the homework group, and make the only activity doing homework, call meetings for the kids whenever you need to have them do their schoolwork.

finding partners for your mama sim: if you have lovestruck use the blind date option it will send you sims who are already interested in you, once on the date use that beugile social interation you bought earlier (it is important to do this action first so the rest of the romantic interactions dont get rejected) then just proceed with romantic socials until first kiss pops up and your set to make another baby! 7.if you don't have lovestruck i suggest making another group for just mom and potential donors, have mom be the group leader, add donor sims into the empty spot and for group actvities choose things like kissing, romantic socials, woohoo etc. call the meetings when you need a new donor. 8.recommended mods for easier game play: mcc command center/mc woohoo and UI cheats

if you have mcc installed, when it is time for the kids to age up, instead of doing birthday cakes, a much quicker method is by clicking on the birthday sim > mcc command > sim commands> set age> click on desired age group

making food: since there will be a lot of sims eating i reccommend buy your household the banquet table. once placed select "serve all" and place the food that appears on the table into a fridge. also buy the bakery display case fridge for any toddlers to grab food from so that your older sims do not have to feed them they can just grab food whenever needed.

if you have crystal creatations pack, get some plumbob off the gallery or find it on your own, and craft a gem from it, charge it and place it in the toddler and infant areas to keep them happy all day and night so they can sleep/eat and cry less and just skill grind! HAVE FUN!

extras: download mystery costume donors off the gallery, or make your own! give each of your kids their own indiviuality in cas ! take pictures of your kids before they are moved out of the house to hang up and look back at or pictures of the baby donors! use the birth certificate mod or realistic birth mod for more realism in the game. use the reverse aging potion to turn back the clock on your baby mama if you want to use her for the whole challenge.
