Christmas Story 2024 help/ideas :)
Hey y'all, I know it seems pretty darn early for me to be thinking about writing another Sims illustrated Christmas story this year. 😜 But I guess that whole "Christmas in July" thing got to me. 🤣...
Forum Discussion
EDIT TO ADD - CAUTION! I just tested Manu in Custard. Manu includes the dreaded Arezzo bathroom counter! However, it is the Left version not the right counter which has been identified as bad cc. But why does Manu need the left counter either?
ZeeGee1- Thank you for teaching me how to test Sims 3 packs before installing them.
What a fun request! Your model is definitely handsome.
I don't have any of my own sims to present. I browsed through quite a few pages of search results on the Exchange. I picked out a few sims for you to consider. I have not downloaded any of them. I do not know any of the creators with the exception of Wallin, who was a regular on the Daily Deal thread over 10 years ago. I am basing these picks on the first photo on the Sims Exchange page. Since I have not downloaded them, I have not seen them in the game. The sims may need some tweaking by changing hairstyles, eye color and adding glasses.
The image is also a link to the sim's Exchange page
Link to Sim has been removed as it contains the Arezzo counter! Manu Ramirez is my first pick for the leading man of your story
Please note that I have not tested any of the following sims for corrupt custom content.
Shane by Marlec89
I wonder if Shane will look the part with a pair of glasses and brown eyes?
Darwin St. Clair by Wallin
Darwin may have CC. Wallin provides a link in his blog telling where to get the CC. So, the sim downloaded from the Exchange may not include CC. I have no idea what Darwin would look like without the CC.

Kevin is also known as Lupino Atletico in PedroRafaelLopez's studio
Henry Strauss by n8eulchen1979
Henry may need more of a makeover; eye color, hair style and hair color
Chase Montgomery V2 by fendelhorg
Chase's creator states that this sim does contain CC.
I am looking forward to your Hallmark Sim Christmas story. 😊
Ooooh! Wowza me1620 ! 😮 You have just made my day with your Exchange male sim suggestions! 😍 They are PERFECT! You have quite the eye! 😏
I will say I found Chase Montgomery (just the other day actually) for a friend and she said she couldn't get him to download into her game for some reason...and I fear it might be the same with the others. ☹ But I will certainly try! I agree that Manu looks the closest to the way I picture my leading guy - most likely because the glasses are the same. 😜
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! ⭐ 💜
Yeah it says I need to have the "latest software updates" in order to add those guys to my game. Mega bummer! 😩 (I play using disks so I dunno if that is the reason. I'm on version 1.67)
I has a sad right now. 😥
However if you add Manu - or any of the others - to your game, save them to the Sim bin, and then send their .Sim file to me via Sim File Share that would work. 😊 But if that's too much work for ya I understand. 😘 No worries.
I am also on version 1.67. Oh no! I know that Darwin was created a long time ago.
I will try to add Manu and see if I get the same error message.
Edit to add - Worse than an error message. I found the dreaded Arezzo Bathroom Counter.
Edit to add again - I had no issues installing Manu and I am on version 1.67. (I download from the Exchange with Add to Game option.) Manu comes with lots of CC. I deleted the counter, clothing, tattoo and accessories that were listed separately in the launcher. I then brought Manu into CAS. The sim itself has CC skin, glasses, hair and some outfits. I can clean him up and send him via Sim File Share. Sim stuff isn't "too much work" 😀
me1620Oh my gosh you are a lifesaver! And awesome! ⭐ Yeah that ridiculous Arezzo counter was the bane of my existence for a while years ago! 😬 Took me forever to track down the cc it was attached to.
You're so sweet. Thank you bunches! ❤️
Edit: If his beard is cc that's perfect and I'll need to know where to find that. If you can find out from the cc he came with. 😉
