#ts3 fixes

[thesweetsimmer111]

This mod fixes the issue where sims try to go to a specific location just to pick up a toddler who might be right in front of them or appear to be in a spot they could pick up anyway + some improvements to the animations.

Shaders/Rendering Issue Fix!

for anyone dealing with this :

Notice the black necklace/ black piercing? the very OBVIOUS white scalp?

If you're anything like me a lot of mods are a MUST!

One of those mods is Lazy Duchess : TS3 Shader Tweaks !

I love this mod to death! but honestly I don't want to get rid of it so here is the solution if you're having the same issues as me.

______________________________________________________________

I recently posted here about an issue I was having with skins/accessories.

If you're experiencing the following this fix might be for you! :

Accessories turning black such as rings, necklaces, bracelets etc.

Scalp textures turning white

Textures going back to normal once your sim exits a building/home.

I found this fix it fixed it just fine.. until it came back again after updates to my drivers /Gshade.

After awhile I noticed the issue didn't happen outdoors for sims.

After searching for the past 2 days.. this has been the only thing that worked completely.

BUT!! I will say it has to be done to ALL the files in the ''Shader_replace'' folder if you are having more than one thing turning black on sims.

Example :

You should be seeing something like this now as your indoors or outdoors on your sim :

Hopefully this helps someone, cause this was driving me nuts!!

31/12/24 UPDATE:

Added a download for ModularFix- the same CASt bug fixed for all modular sofas and two swing sets, plus some misc fixes for bunk beds.

Added a couple of missing counter/cabinets to CounterFix, please redownload!

In the absence of a fix, I have opted to hide the loft beds from the catalog for now. The loft variants of all three Store bunk beds suffer from a duplicate-on-load glitch and they have this behaviour in every format! Meaning EA left them in that state and it will take a while for me to find the least intrusive way to fix them.

All other info is in the document.

A great thing about the download links being in a Google Doc is that they'll always be up to date even for users who first access it from old reblogs :)

I didn't expect to write another guide so soon, but this one is a simple set of text instructions and I've also provided the fix itself as a download- the method is really just documented for posterity.

After a few false starts, I've finally hit this error on the head. If you haven't taken the plunge to only using .package installs, this was the last unsolved issue I knew of them having ;)

Download + Guide Here

Download contains a fix for (hopefully) every Store counter and cabinet, please let me know if you find one I missed.

I will release an update with the other MDLR objects- sectional sofas and swingsets- as soon as I've rounded them all up and had a chance to fix them.

. ݁₊ ⊹DAYLIFESIMS CONVERSION COLLECTION! . ݁₊ ⊹

Happy black history month, y'all!❤️🔱🖤

So today we're starting off this month with the gorgeous work of what has to be the most consistently requested creator in my ask box; @daylifesims! Most of these were supposed to be a part of my slightly ill-fated Christmas advent, originally they had weird, crooked smiddle parts. But, now they're all fixed now and ready to go!

Also, everybody say thank you to @suteflower for suggesting that I also convert these for children and toddlers!

INFORMATION:

None of this is my original work! All mesh and texture credit goes to @daylifesims!

Set contains 25 hairs for Toddler ➤ Elder Females.

Set Contains 2 hairs for Toddlers, 13 for Children, 10 for Adults.

All hairs have 1024x textures, All LODs and Custom Thumbnails.

Set Contains all of Daylifesims' ethnic hairs as of 2/7/25 that I haven't been converted to TS3 yet, if there's an ethic hair of hers that you don't see here it's either in the [Janey Braid Set] or my [1k Followers Gift]

Credits, preview pictures, links to originals, polycounts and individual download links for every hair are under the cut.

Polycounts are ALL over the place. Nothing is over 25k, but as always, please reference the list under the cut before downloading!

Texture on the Acacia Bubbles hair looks SUPER blurry in CAS for some reason? It's normal in game, though.

The [Goddess Set - Alissa] was also converted by the lovely and talented @lalasimmer, Hers is [HERE], if you like both versions they will work in your game with no conflicts!

All my links are through Madiafire now! Because I'm sick of ya'll mfers complaining to me about SFS.

[TS3] Less Banding

Haii honey buns!!! :3

This is an ASI mod for TS3 that addresses banding by giving the game a bit more color depth. Unlike my older attempt using shaders, this one doesn't have any weird artifacts!

Download: Patreon (Free)

Instructions are in the post. Simply drop wininet.dll and BandingFix.asi into your Game/Bin folder in your Sims 3 installation directory.

As a caveat, screenshots taken in-game will still appear banded as normal. You can get around this by using print screen or an external screenshot tool and using F10 to hide the UI.

Here is compilation of fixes for Shang Simla, China World in The Sims 3 World Adventures, by now today 5 April 2025.

I made these mods to fix inaccuracies of Chinese culture that the developer - Electronic Arts - made. Without getting paid or compensation at all.

DEFAULT REPLACEMENT:

► Shang Simla Forbidden City Icon MOD

► Red To Gold Colour Mod for TS3 World  Adventures EP's “FountainAsia2x2″ 

► Dragon Cave Colour Mod “Gold & Colourful” TS3 World Adventures 

► EA’s Chinese Lantern Red Colour Mod 

► Stir Fry Texture Replacement Mod

► Chinese Chopsticks Longer & Texture Replacement Mod

► Authentic Chinese Spring Rolls Replacement Mod

►Mooncakes & Mooncake Machine Maker Remastered: Mooncake Mesh & Texture with Enhanced Graphics & Enabled to Buy Mode & Renamed Mod (All Languages) & Icons Replacement Mod

►3 STBL Renamed Mods: "Asian” –> “Chinese” and others...

(All mods above need World Adventures Expansion Pack to work)

BUY MODE:

► Chopsticks Porcelain Storage

► Chinese Cuisine 【中國美食】12 Custom content (Decorative)

(Base Game compatible)

Addition not to fix Shang Simla innacuracies, but still relevant because the developer should did research to give Chinese New Year items from actual Chinese people input rather than making random "Chinese-inspired" items from Western perspective.

BUY MODE:

► Chinese Dragon Lamp from Sims 3 Store Gold & More Recolours

► Chinese New Year 2024 Decorations Collection

(Base Game compatible)

Have fun and Happy Simming~

Hello yall! I have compiled a collection of all the cc on Ersch's website, most of which was blockaded by having used linkvertise. Well, for the sake of preservation I gave linkvertise my $10 and now can circumvent any adfly/linkvertise blocks. So, now please enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Happy 16th birthday to the Sims 3!! Here's yet another mod 😊 This is a simple mod that fixes sims washing dishes in bathroom sinks, makes it so you can stack plates and bowls together, and sims will wash their hands before preparing food now!

After the eventful dreadful night the whole house was left devastated and frankly, unlivable. The simgod (aka me) did not know what to do, Sage did not know what to do either but luckily the Cenote's council offered us to relocate to their beautiful island in exchange for Sage's hard work as a Genetic Resequencer scientist at their local facility. Looks like a win-win situation!

The Permanent Fix For Counter Texture Glitch

A while ago I posted this tutorial for fixing the counter texture glitch. But it was not perfect and couldn't fix each and every cc counter out there.

I've finally found a fix for that too. Problem was corrupt TXTC resources that needed to be replaced. Now you can download every cc counter that comes in sims3pack and extract them into package and never have the annoying counter texture glitch ever again. Bad news is you have to do it all yourself. But don't worry! it's not that difficult and I've come with pictures.

What you'll need: s3pe, s3oc and texture tweaker 3 - and optionally Sims3Pack Multi Installer or s3ce. The download link for TT3 is in the 3rd post and there's a tutorial here. If you don't have them already, go download them. You can NOT use TSRW for this tutorial since TSRW itself is the problem. :)

First extract the package from the sims3pack using either Multi Installer/Extractor or s3ce. After you have your package file, open it up in s3pe. In my example, I'm using Gosik's New Vintage Kitchen Counter 1. Select the first OBJD resource in the resource list.

Also make sure you have Preview selected at the bottom of the program window in s3pe.

On the right side, you will see the preview of the resource in text. Scroll down until you see the InstanceName.

It's usually counterBaseModern but not always. This is the instance name of the object that this counter is cloned from. In modular objects like counters there are multiple objects. For counters, they are base, top and corner. Keep that in mind for now.

Take a note of or copy the instance name and open s3oc. First, Go to Settings -> Game Folders and make sure game folders are detected. If not, add them manually. You can also define your creator name under the Settings menu. Now, go to Tools -> Search.

Paste the instance name in the search bar; select Resource Name and hit Search.

You will have two results: counterBaseModern and CounterModernSuite. I suggest that you clone the suite because it's the modular object that contains all the parts of a counter: base, top and corner. If not, you have to clone every part individually which are counterBaseModern, counterTopModern and counterCornerModern.

Cloning the Suite makes the process a lot quicker so I'll continue from there. Click on the CounterModernSuite and hit Clone or Fix at the right side.

That will open the cloning interface. Make sure you UNCHECK the Renumber/rename internally. We do NOT want to renumber. Then hit Start.

It will ask where you want to save your new package and if you already have a creator name defined earlier it will add it to the package name. If not, it may or may not ask for your creator name. Honestly, I can't remember and I don't think it matters. Anyway, chose a folder - preferably a work folder you created earlier - and keep the name it suggests. It will inform you when it's done.

We cloned our package. Now we need to export the necessary TXTC resources from it. We need the Diffusemap TXTC resource for each part. Start another instance of s3pe and open the package file you've just created which should be something like this: creatorname_CounterModernSuite_someAlphaNumericals.

You'll notice that there are 6 TXTC resources in the resource list. Check the resource names and the Group IDs. You need the DiffuseMap for base, top and corner parts. Click on the resource, then right click and Export.

You can export them all at once or create a folder for each if you don't want to get confused. Notice that they all have different Group IDs and names. As we move to the next part keep that in mind.

After exporting, you can close this package. We'll go back to the package we want to fix, in this case, Gosik's New Vintage Kitchen Counter 1. Open the package again or switch to it if it's open in s3pe.

Select the first TXTC resource which is most likely is the DiffuseMap for the base part. Unfortunately, most cc doesn't have a _KEY resource so they don't have resource names. Group ID's come in handy here. For this counter suite Group IDs for parts are like this:

base -> 0x00045638; top -> 0x002794E0; corner -> 0x00D661FD3

But there are 2 TXTC resources for each Group ID. One of them is SpecMap which is not corrupted. The corrupted one will have a preview like this:

This is simply s3pe telling you it's having an 'Error reading the resource'. My interpretation: The resource is corrupted. So combine this with the right Group ID and right click on the resource and choose Replace. Do not use Import! You need to Replace the resource without changing its instance number. Choose the right resource you exported earlier. Again check the name and Group ID. it should be something like: S3_033A1435_00045638_A85033BB5A059932_counterBaseModernObjectRgbMask_Face_DiffuseMap%%+TXTC

This is for the base object. For top and corner parts, repeat the replacing step with the right resources.

After you replace all the corrupted resources, s3pe will no longer give an error reading those resources when you click on them. And neither will TT3. You will now save your package and close s3pe. A reminder: If the TXTC resources are not corrupted in CC package, skip all and continue as below.

After that you will open your package in TT3 and follow the tutorial here. But a brief rundown would be: select each 'Normal Object' one by one and switch to CASt presets tab after each selection. In this tab, all you have to do is uncheck and then recheck the box next to PatternA and hit Commit. Do it for every preset. Repeat it for every object in the package. Save. Close. Done. :)

For island counters, process is the same but with 4 parts. Base, EndW, EndE and Corner. Also this works for other modular objects like cabinets and sectional sofas.

One last clarification: If the object is cloned from another counter suite, the Group IDs that we used will be different. Also some CC will have Group IDs different from the main object it's cloned from. If that happens, you may need to have a leap of faith.

Usually the order from top to bottom is base, top, corner (counters) and base, endW, endE, corner (islands), starting with the first TXTC resource. So in theory, if you select the corrupt resources from top to bottom, you can replace with that order without the Group IDs.

That's it. I don't think anyone will bother with this. But If you have questions, ask away.
