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. Four 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.

[ TS4 to TS3 ]  Teen Outfits（TF）

My friend pitheinfinite's account has finally been restored! Thank you all for helping to reblog and tag the staff!

Teen CC is really scarce. I never thought about making CC for teens before because kids are even cuter.

But I've changed my mind recently!! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)♪ Since the conversion process isn't too complicated, if the style of clothing is suitable, I'll convert it for teens as well, not just for adults. Clothes make the man, so let's dress up those cute teens!!

I used the same thumbnail. The file links are also on the adult version page.

我的朋友 pitheinfinite 的帳號終於恢復了！謝謝大家幫忙轉格還有召喚 STAFF！

青少年的衣服真的好少啊。之前我也從來沒想過要給青少年做點什麼，因為他們很明顯的沒有小孩子可愛（←過分）

不過，我最近改變主意啦！由於轉換的步驟並不是很麻煩，如果衣服的風格合適的話，除了大人以外，之後我也會一起轉給青少年。 佛要金裝人要衣裝，來打造可愛的青少年吧！(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)♪

PowerMax on Resorts now count as a valid gym object by Dandelion Sprout

"Among the more infamous oversights that was done during EA's development of Sims 3 expansion packs, was that Showtime's PowerMax 50x120 chin bar was not counted by Island Paradise as a gym object that would improve resort ratings. With this gamemod, it now does. The Buy Mode values "Resort" and "ResortGym" have been added to the existing object's OBJD values, and the result is therefore not CC. PowerMax will show up in "Resort" > "All" (alongside its usual "Entertainment" > "Sports" listing), but will not show up in "Resort" > "Miscellaneous", due to the difficulty of adding a "FunctionSubCategoryFlags2" section to OBJD files that didn't already have such a section. ———Notes——— • I tried to do the same for other gym-esque objects, e.g. the driving range, WA's martial arts training dummy and board breaker, and AMB's sliding pole, but the game didn't make the "+" sign show up for any of those. • This gamemod was a side-effect of tests I did to see if it was possible to force Island Paradise to have more than 3 maintenance per resort (It refused to do so). • The one main image covers every aspect of what the mod does, as far as I can tell."

Update regarding the toddler bed

It seems like I messed up somehow while making @olomaya's bed CAStable. 😓

I fixed and updated the olomaya_ToddlerBed_CAStable.package. So if you downloaded this version of the bed, you need to redownload it from the original post HERE. The CAStable version is in the 1st paragraph of the post. You should have either the CAStable one or the non-CAStable one; not both.

Oh, I also fixed the pattern issue so everything is now base game compatible. Sorry for the inconvenience. 😣

TheBleedingWoodland’s FIX #2

When I was fairly new at creating poses, I didn’t know how to fix overlapping thumbnail problem of ‘!!! Pose Pack’ and ‘Hide And Seek Pose Pack’ . 

Apparently it was because of thumbnail name. Thumbnail name has effect. Do not name Pose List thumbnail “ 1, 2, 3....”, because it will overlap other thumbnails with same name from other poses.  

Now the thumbnails & naming issues are fixed, no longer disorganized, as long as you sort my poses by poses name. I also simplified pose name for Hostage With Knife and Chinese New Year Poses,  and made them sequence. 

For TS3 Poses:

!!! Pose Pack DOWNLOAD FIX

Hide And Seek Pose Pack DOWNLOAD FIX

Hostage With Knife Poses DOWNLOAD FIX 

Chinese New Year With Angpao Poses DOWNLOAD FIX 

Re-download and replace/install file as usual, except for !!! Pose Pack, make sure you delete old file / folder first (to avoid conflict with newest update), then install updated poses, because I made 2 separate packages with different name from old file: poses from 1-20 and 21-43, due too many poses in number.

TS3 Ambitions - Unlocked Tree Shrub! by simsi45

"Apparently The Sims 3 Ambitions, came with a tree shrub that in classic EA style, they forgot to make it available for the build catalog. As I'm working on a custom world, I made this simple mod that fixes this EA oversight and thought I would share it in case anyone else needs it.

This an override of the original OBJD (0x319E4F1D-0x18000000-0x0000000000989DDD) so you can use it in your lots or worlds freely, and the tree will still show up (on the lots not the catalogue) for downloaders even if they don't have this mod installed!

The Sims 3 Ambitions is required (obviously) for this to show up."

Sims 3 Pose Tools For Blender 2.79

So, I finally reached my frustration limit with being forced to use Blender 2.67 to pose sims, particularly since Nvidia’s latest drivers broke 2.67 for me to the point of being practically unusable. Frustrated enough to see if I could update the pose tools for myself; turns out, not that hard! 😅 I’ve tested everything I can think of, and everything seems to be working exactly the way they did in 2.67, sooooooo... yeah. 

Install it the exact same way as the original, by going to File > User Preferences > Install Add-On From File, and choosing the .zip file (don’t unzip the download!). Enable both plugins and voila!

All Credits go to the original creator of the tool, I just added a couple lines of code and tweaked some others!
