#ts3 royalty

[awingedllama]

do you know if someone converted the costume chest from ts3 generations (with ofc the gameplay part and stuff)?? can't believe nobody still did it even after growing together :(

so when i first got your ask a couple days ago, i thought to myself, "aw, i could do that for them. converting the costume chest is probably relatively easy to do!"

narrator: it was not, in fact, relatively easy to do

TS3 Costume Chest Conversion

It works like this in game:

There's a simple happy buff the kid gets from being in a princess costume. The 'Renounce the Throne' interaction gets rid of the outfit (you can't get rid of it in cas). And Sims in the costume have the social interaction 'Inform About Newfound Royalty.'

Beyond that it doesn't do much else, but I didn't want to offer you a useless deco object. There's a bit of functionality :)

I only had the energy to convert the one outfit from TS3 (I'm not really a CAS cc person and i was very out of my element), but if there are any more in-game TS4 assets you'd like me to add to the costume box (or a less ugly dress), just send me another ask!

and here are some swatches on the costume chest

Julia Howard Machado had an adventurous spirit and a wildly successful career as a travel writer. She wrote guides to every TS3 and TS4 world, and was still receiving royalty payments on her last day of life. She died of a broken heart, and I'm sure she will be happy to be reunited with Caio and all the family that has gone before her.

  TSM to TS3 Conversion of TSM’s King’s Closet Collection

A TSM to ts3 conversion from 4 royal outfits for all your kings, ‘cause we can’t get enough of some tsm conversions, especially for royalty! Hope you like it! Enjoy! <3

Many tsm conversions coming, along with the remaining hls conversions and VS re-conversions! :)

————— —————

Known Problems:

The capes clip with the arms when the sim moves their arms back a lot. Apparently TSM has some bones that ts3 does not, and the capes work fine there, but on ts3 they don’t work as intended lol. But I did my best and think these are the best results!

LIGHTING GLITCHES ONLY APPEAR ON CAS!

* Note that teens and elders have unsolvable neck gaps. This is sadly the price for having them available! for teens, try using this slider by gruesim!

————— —————

ALL OG CREDITS GO TO EA & MAXIS! IT’S NOT MY MESHES, AND IT’S NOT MY TEXTURES, I JUST CONVERTED THEM TO THE SIMS 3!

————— —————

NOTES:

IMPORTANT: I decided to make a new thumbnail style for these TSM conversions, as seen at the bottom of the previews, because there isn’t really a way for me to take screenshots of them in Blender since they don’t have presets like ts4′s cc, and because they already have thumbnails attached to them I decided to re-use them! Hope you’re all okay with that!

The outfit with the fur coat has 6 presets, all courtesy of @aprilrainsimblr​, with different jewel colors and masks! I hope you enjoy them!

The one with the coat of arms has 2 presets: one with it, and one without!

Storytelling Secrets

Thank you for the tag, @sircesimblr

1. Some musings on my Dudley family with a dash of historical trivia: by 1322, the Dudleys are steering towards a succession crisis because Ralph, the earl, only has a daughter. Noblewomen with no brothers could and did inherit (for an example, see Isabel and Anne Neville, daughters of Warwick the Kingmaker), but if Clement, Ralph's brother, has a son, he might just think his line has the better claim. To avoid this, the obvious solution is that Ralph and Clement have their children marry.

Alas, it's not that simple.

Contrary what the infamous Habsburgs might have you believe, cousins marrying hasn't always been legal. It was actually prohibited for a good while, which means you had to get a papal dispensation for the marriage to be legitimate. Getting one of these was very common for royalty and apparantly not uncommon for the nobility, but I haven't decided what I'll do if that Dudley succession crisis comes to pass.

2. I was initially against having the Townsends get into nectar production because a) I did that in my last go at the UDC and b) everyone has their sims make nectar. But I also really like the idea of Malcolm using his family's nectar to later in life become a merchant. So I might have them do it anyway.

3. I'm toying with the idea of having a family/maybe just a lone sim move into another world, should I think of a fitting story. TS3 doesn't allow having multiple "normal" worlds in one save (there are the vacation and university worlds, though), but if I save the sim as a household, delete them from the save so the story doesn't have two of them running around and plop them down in a new save/world, it would work. The problem is that the sim wouldn't be part of the original save anymore and I would have to play through events in both saves, which sounds like it could get really tedious. And the sims couldn't have inter-save contact.

4. You may have noticed already, but I'm a sucker for romantic drama. The mess that is the Dudley family is probably my favorite storyline at the moment.

5. I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but Robert failed his baby roll initially. I just decided to ignore that because it felt anticlimactic. And I'm glad I did.

This was fun!

I'm tagging @zelenxa, should you have anything you want to share. :)

I think I found what inspired EA when they were creating ts3 sims - inbred royalties.

Anyway, here she is after the makeover. Still looking…'royal'

She isn't even the worst offender in Moonlight Falls.

[anachrosims]

This is... Arthur!

Y'all seem receptive to more OC info so, here you go.

I've been simming with this loser since TS3, and some of you might be aware, he is........................sort of... based off the anthropomorphic "England" in H*t*lia. But let's be real, he's about as far from that origin as you can get, short of changing his name and nationality. I took a concept for a character and said, "fuck you, I do what I want" and ran with it to make my own shit for over a decade.

His traits usually end up being some combination of Hot-Headed/Active (Athletic)/Creative (or Music Lover)/Bookworm/Animal Lover/Loves the Outdoors/(Hopeless) Romantic/Child of the Ocean/Loves Family/Adventurous/Gloomy. (Depends on what kind of gameplay I'm going for since I only have 5 traits in TS4 and you start with 5 in TS3.)

He's a rebellious, emotional nerd who loves cozy sweaters, guitar, petting cats, and being near the ocean. Also he's always a witch. And he loves baking. He also falls for partners way too easily and prone to depression and telling dad jokes. He's an idiot and I love him.

Favorite color is green, and if he had a fave food it'd be either a big grand breakfast or pancakes?? Waffles are OK too.

He's featured in my ongoing story over at @prydainroyals where I dump characters and/or character concepts I like into my pixel sandbox barbie story about royalty for shits and giggles. I am an absolute fraud, a hack of a writer, and there's nothing y'all can do about it.

EDIT: I've also tweaked his features over the years to look similarly (ish) to actor JJ Feild x

when i played ts3, i loved the idea of having an active prom.

now when i play ts4, i'd love the option of a rabbit hole prom or at least a prom gameplay that's actually fun.

remember back in the early 2010's when your teens would go to prom in limos, arrive at the school with all their classmates, get pop ups/story progression notifs if your sim was voted prom royalty, had their first kiss, got into a fight bc someone had the same outfit as them, got embarassed when they slipped on the dance floor (which all would have responding moodlets) and in the end they got a prom picture, crown or new partner/new enemy? those were the times

Hey new family members just dropped!

Working on the Rose family tree because I have nothing better to do, and as you know, whenever I say that, it means I have better things to do and I’m just avoiding them. *cough* philosophy paper *cough* As I said, I’m kinda doing this CAS legacy style, meaning I just let the sims have babies in my photoshoot save, then I immediately age the kids up, give them a makeover, take a picture of them, put them on my family tree and cry about how pretty the tree looks. Link on the legacy page on my blog if you’re interested - warning, there are spoilers and it’s all still a wip. I just found that the link isn’t working, nevermind, I’ll fix it later. Also it doesn’t match the actual family from the legacy because I wrote some characters off and added some that never appeared in the legacy and probably never will because knowing me I’ll never take pictures for those stories. Don’t worry about it, I’m too invested in this.

Anyway, these are all from Tyler’s side of the family, the side of the family that was supposed to be in the spotlight, but then Caleb went and got abducted and the rest is history. You might remember that originally, gen 5 was going to be about Tyler’s daughter James, therefore gen 6 would be about Mio and gen 7 would be about whoever comes next. And today, I figured out who would come next. The girl on the left is Clementine, the girl on the right is Phoebe, they’re Mio and Calypso’s daughters. I’m not sure which one of them would be the heir, so...thank god I don’t have to deal with that. And in the middle is their uncle, James and Hayley’s adoptive son Simon. They adopted a child in the original legacy too, I just...didn’t really like him anymore and wanted a new one. Also, his name was a Harry Potter reference and I kinda can’t enjoy that anymore. We don’t like JKR in this house.

I can’t tell you much about them, but I’ll probably continue expanding the family tree hehe. It’s pointless but really fun.

The Absolon Kingdom: General information

I uploaded the picture of Idris’s face because he’s the King of the Absolon King, not because he’s totally my favorite character. 

I think it’s where the Absolon Kingdom (AK) is located.

@lunanelfeah suggested that creating a separate post to explain about the Absolon Kingdom might be a good idea, I have to admit it’s an incredible idea. And @dynastiasimss​ also suggested me this website https://www.notebook.ai/ , I love this site, thank you. Brace yourself for long af essay, forgive me if some political things just don’t make sense, lol. 

The beginning of the Absolon Kingdom dates back to the 16th century, when witch-hunt was a prevalent practice. That was God’s intention to gift ordinary people special superpower, so he could encourage the Gatekeepers to start treating people reasonably. The Gatekeepers’ duty is giving moral assessment and advice to human beings, so they can improve themselves and become a better person. But the Gatekeepers haven’t even thought about developing any sort of guidance or regulation regarding this matter, they only give people points based on their feelings. If the Gatekeepers have bad mood, or just don’t like someone’s appearance, they may give a person extremely low moral score that later affects their chance of reincarnation without any single reason. 

So God wanted the Gatekeepers to understand human better, but their ego got in the way. They found it offensive that angels and demons had been granted the Heaven and Hell respectively from the very beginning, yet the Gatekeepers had to build their own territory. They refused to accept they have equal position as the Human Beings, refused to be restricted to one country on Earth. Therefore, the Gatekeeper’s great ancestor, King Park V, had to gather people with special ability on his own and found an island following God’s prophecy.

HISTORY

First King: Park Byung Ho (Park I (Park V to the Gatekeepers, he's the 5th King of the Gatekeepers)) Second King: Idris Bennett (Idris I)

During the reign of Park Byung Ho:

He managed to establish the Absolon Kingdom, to build cities in an empty, deserted island. But he is a highly conservative man, who had been living for 1000 years. Due to the Gatekeepers' inability to accept the Absolon Kingdom as their territory, he had been sitting on the throne for approximately 500 years.

By the 1800s the Absolon Kingdom was already flourishing, but that was when a long period of stagnation started in the country. Some people began to have problem with his reign, they claimed he was too power-hungry to step down from the position and his long reign could lead to detrimental effects in the future. According to the political analysts, King Park V had become overly content with the Absolon Kingdom's current stage of development, that his conservativeness could only hinder the country's further progress. Due to these articles, censorship was tightened, significant human right concerns were observed in the AK. A great number of books, which were claimed to contain "harmful" ideologies, weren't allowed to be published (including The Realm of Magic book, that was mentioned in Lizzy's Issue).

In the beginning of the 21st century, the AK's economy still relied heavily on agriculture and magic, poverty and starvation were prevalent in the rural areas. As the country is located in a small island, the residents in disaster prone areas didn't receive neither prior warnings to evacuate nor helps from the government. Some of these areas were claimed to be abandoned by the King, but the residents were too impoverished to settle somewhere else. But the press wasn’t free to report such topics. By the end of King Park I reign the Absolon Kingdom had become severely underdeveloped. Literacy rate of the country was only 61.5%.

King Idris I reign:

(Unlimited opportunity to post pictures of my favorite boy)

During 16 years of the reign of King Idris I the Absolon Kingdom has experienced more changes compared to the last 100 years of King Park I ruling. Idris took Tran's family political ideas into account and sent groups of expedition to report on the outside world's level of development. Idris acknowledged that the current AK's agrarian society needed changes, that the country will only progress if the Absolonians find a way to combine magic and technology.

After 16 years of reign the Absolon Kingdom's farming, fishing, mining, manufacturing, textile..... industries shift to automated works. The services sector of economy grows in importance, accounting for a large percentage of employment in the AK. Many new private banks, business companies are established during Idris's ruling. The country's appearance has also been transformed significantly:

Capital city: Bloomingdon 2004 (world credit: https://thesimscatalog.com/sims3/downloads/worlds/large/wild-wild-west/)

Bloomingdon 2020 (credit: North Bloomingdon @descargassims​)

Censorship rules have been eased, for the first time people start obtaining the freedom of speech and freedom of assembly and association. Even if the fear to express their political views still exists within the country, many controversial publications (such as the Realm of Magic book that promotes the idea of connecting with the outside world) are allowed to be released to the public. A great number of broadcasting and news companies have been established in the span of 16 years, the Absolonians have the opportunity to gather information from other non-governmental news sources than the NNN (National News Network) chanel.

Many disaster prone villages have been rebuilt thanks to Idris, early warning systems have also been set up in these areas to avoid the severe impact of hazards. If storms or earthquakes do occur, Idris will offer relief and humanitarian aid to these areas, he even takes time to personally visit and use his healing power to treat injured locals. Hence, that's how he's called The Angel of the Kingdom.

Despite all the changes, the practice of public and cruel executions is still prevalent in the AK. The term “Minimum wage” has never been determined in the country, in order to achieve the current level of development the subjects of the Kingdom sometimes are required to work 20 hours a day without additional pay. Prisoners are treated as subjects of torture and human experimentation. The AK is still “underdeveloped” from a legal standpoint.

Regarding the connection of the Absolon Kingdom to the God Helpers and the territory of Hadesiallania (northern part of the AK).

During 1750s the Demons and the Gatekeepers had conflicts regarding their authority as the God Helpers. Eventually, their conflicts led to war (the demons attacked first), the Reapers just silently watched the bloodshed and remained neutral. The Gatekeepers realized they were losing, so they asked for the Reapers’ help. 

The Reapers had always been considered as the sinners, the unluckiest God Helpers. They had to witness death every day, God never granted them any sovereign territory. There was a theory that the Reapers committed grave sins in their past life, so they had to live this life to pay for their mistakes. Some people rumored that the Reapers were the humans with 0 moral score, so God couldn’t decide whether to send them to hell or let them reincarnate.

So the Reapers made a deal, they agreed to support the Gatekeepers, as long as they were given part of the Absolon Kingdom territory. Hadesiallania is still a part of the Absolon Kingdom, but it’s an autonomous area. They have their own legal system, government (parliament and local executive authority), taxation system.

Edit:

The aftermath of the Tran family’s insurrection: 

During a national survey, which was conducted in 2003, 80% of Absolonians voted against the idea of introducing the Absolon Kingdom to the global world due to the fear of witch-hunt. In October 2020 (after the rebel of Chi’s family) one unofficial online poll indicated that 90% of Absolonians would prefer staying hidden from the international community. But this data might be unreliable, since after the Tran family’s execution people with similar political views are discriminated against, so they’re afraid to speak out

Loch: *sigh* Haven isn’t a monarchy, Ash. 

Asher: Of course, of course... your highness.

Loch: Shut up.

Asher: Make me.

Loch: Gladly.
