Crimson Cliffs Inhabited - latest update 13.4.2026
Here are the basic information of the world I've made. I'll add more information later in the comments about families, community lots etc. I've uploaded additional lots (and will upload more later) to the Exchange, and I'll add those to the comments later as well. Download from Exchange Story: The remote and rugged island got its name, Crimson Cliffs from an old legend: centuries ago, rumors of a massive gold vein lured ships to its dangerous waters. Powerful currents and sharp reefs crushed most vessels, and the blood stained the coastal cliffs red. The few survivors who made it ashore found the gold deposit and settled on the island. Later, with the help of machinery, the shores were made safer. Today the gold mine is still in operation, and the island's stunning yet unforgiving nature gives its residents the very best... or the very worst - depending on who you ask. Used items: I've listed below all EA/Store content I own. Not all of it have been used, but since I don't remember exactly what I used, better to play it safe... No third party CC used. Expansion/Stuff Packs + Worlds: Generations, Seasons, Late Night, Ambitions, World Adventures, University Life, Island Paradise, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, High-End Lofts, Master Suite, 70's 80's & 90's, Midnight Hollow, Roaring Heights, Hidden Springs, Sunlit Tides, Lucky Palms and Riverview Store Items listed in pictures.

Highlighted items still happening even after the may 12th update
Hello im just coming on here to say even after the may 12th update on console the issue kf highlighted items still happening everytime you log onto a new session and idk if this is an issue within game but I have tried disabling and re-enabling the packs through market place and even redownloading the packs but nothing is working so please tell me this is an issue that I can fix and just dont know how or if the sims has to fix it themselves that is all I ask thank you!
Build Catalog doesn't jump to selected item when using Eye droper tool
When you eyedrop something, it takes you to the top of the section/category. Not to the item. It's highlighted, but it doesn't take you to the item. Before it would actually take you to that item or wallpaper/flooring/whatever. Usually if I eyedrop a wallpaper it's because I want to change the swatch and with this bug, it makes that difficult. I'm hoping this and the bug below could have a hotfix as it's highly annoying. This is similar to the issue in CAS where it doesn't highlight the item your sim is wearing when you clicked on that category. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title
Ottomans/Pillows/Poufs Mistagged as Living Chairs
For whatever reason ottomans/poufs/pillows, are either in misc comfort/ottoman category or actual living chairs, this inconsistency should be fixed and all of them should be ottomans regardless if they're one or two tiles. The following Items are mistagged: [CoL] Hay Bale, Hay [CoL] Inspiration Grows - By FanniFungi Furniture [HSY] Benchmark Seating [HSY] Beat Seat Pro [GRO] Ewe-**bleep** Sheep Seat [HR] Sturdy Stool [LS] Gothic Tassel Leather Seat [LD] Giant Mollusk **bleep** [BH] Stool by QWIRL [AA] The Butterfly Backless Folding Chair [W] Tired No More Seat [MHSP] A Poof In Time [TSP] Plump Pillow Pad [LCK] Makeshift Extra Seating [CKCK] Comfy Groove **bleep** [CGK] Precious Pillow **bleep** [MRCK] The Embrace Rib Ottoman
Actions glitching and build mode items disappearing
When I was building my most recent home I discovered that if I placed an item then moved it, sometimes it would disappear. This would mostly happen with objects that would snap with others like countertops. I then started to play and my sim got continuous actions to chat on the computer that just kept popping up

Dancing Cockatoos are Hysterically funny when they dance and can be taught or learn on their own like Snowball the Dancing Cockatoo Interactions When large birds get mad they mutter and puff their feathers Birds can also bite when unhappy Feed Treat to Bird Hunt "Polly want a Cracker?" Peregrine Falcons can be taught to hunt (Falconry) Sims can sing to Birds Cats Can watch birds and make them nervous Can potentially jump on cages Can be shoo'd off and will learn to not do that if told no enough Will attack birds if the cage isn't locked and not shoo'd off Cats who hunt can bring back Birds - Not Falcons or Owls Lizards Rodents Sims will mourn Pet Birds who pass away They get a small urn or headstone that indicate it was a bird and maybe what kind Moods Birds can have a wide range of emotions Afraid Cats Fire Thunder Angry Ruffled Feathers Vet Visit Happy Hungry Sad Sleepy Perching Little Birds will generally be left in their cages, Larger birds if you leave the door of their cages open they will explore and eventually return to their cages. Perch Arm Fingers - Little Birds Only Hand Head Shoulder Create A Pet Updates Body Dimensions Leg Length Short Legs Breeds that actually are short legged will be represented properly Note* In future the Sims really ought to have more than two sizes of dogs. It just looks odd, seems weird and is definitely lazy considering other games don't have these issues. I believe that the Sims should make a commitment to have 5 sizes of dogs. Heterochromia Sims & Pets - If they haven't put it in game yet.

When I want to move or delete an item during game play I have to delete an item go into live mode back to build mode to them delete another item or move something around. Same when I want to delete out of household inventory. When I want to build I have to build a wall, click on a tool or cancel, click wall again to make a new wall and repeat over and over until the build is complete. And when I want to place furniture I have to place item, click a new tool then back to the move object tool again to move it or change it and repeat that process for all items on the lot.

Petite Alsace collaboration - Open for participation!
Happy New Year and welcome to another Sims 3 community collaboration hosted by Hidehi2 , Sandraelle and soocoolsim ! Introducing Petite Alsace inspired by picturesque Strasbourg, Colmar and Ribeauville with a dual French and German blend of charming, flower-laden villages and half-timbered homes. We anticipate the completed world will be a lovely addition to your game. Experienced creators (Intermediate+) are invited to join us in creating builds to add to the base world. If you love decorating but building isn’t your forte, let us know and we'll try to build a shell for you. Everyone can experience Petite Alsace taking shape by downloading the base world and installing builds as they become available. Please keep an eye on the "News and Updates" post for milestones and links to new creations as they become available. Constructive comments throughout this event are also welcome, so don't be shy. Without further ado, onto the details below and come join in the fun! LOT LISTINGS Map A: Colmar (Medieval, half-timbered houses with flower-filled balconies) Map B: Ribeauville (Pastel, half-timbered 15th - 18th century houses) Map C: Ribeauville Outskirts (Farming area) Map D: Strasbourg (City area, mix of old and new buildings) Map E: Avenue du Rhin (Wine region) Map F: Route de Alsace (Rural area) CLAIMING OVERVIEW Download the empty Petite Alsace base world created by the talented Hidehi2. Take a look at the available lots using the Map posts as reference (see links above). Indicate you're on board and sign up for your first claim by replying on this thread with your chosen map lot reference # (eg A8). I will update the lists with claims and add download / media links when builds are completed. Every two weeks (around the 1st and 15th of the month) a new claiming period starting with a 'Claiming Day' post will begin. During this period, if you join the collaboration or have a build in progress on Claiming Day, you can claim 1 lot. For ongoing participants, if all previously claimed builds are completed and (no cc) download link(s) submitted by Claiming Day, you may claim up to 2 lots. BUILDING GUIDELINES Please stay within the theme of each map area and overall Alsace inspiration. You have creative freedom otherwise. Inspiration links at the top of this post may be helpful. All / any EA Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and official Store Items can be used. Free EA Store Items are OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion. NO third-party Custom Content is allowed. Please Custard Check your exported file before uploading to double check. We highly recommend play-testing your build before uploading to ensure no routing concerns and users can enjoy as intended. Do test placement of your final build. This helps identify any potential issues (e.g. windows / floor tiles out of place). To do this... export your build, save your game, delete the existing build, then replace with the exported version from your library. Take a careful look around and fix as needed. It will be useful for players if the Petite Alsace lot address is included in your build description on the Exchange, albeit optional. Do take the time to put your best foot forward to make your build(s) shine inside and out. Just be cautious about using a ton of clutter since that can add to lag when playing. Each build will be showcased with credit in video walkthroughs on YouTube once the world is completed. Once your build is available on the Sims 3 Exchange, please post a reply on this thread including: name of build / map reference and/or address / download link / cover picture / custard screenshot confirming no 3rd party custom content included. Optional! Link to additional picture site / thread. SIMS / HOUSEHOLDS This collaboration focuses on builds since the final world save file will be unpopulated, however we are happy to link to Sims / Households created for Petite Alsace. Petite Alsace builders can submit Sims / Households for their completed claims as well as Townie use. All / any EA Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and official Store Items can be used. Free EA Store Items are OK for use. Note: Some are no longer available for download so use at your discretion. NO third-party Custom Content is allowed. Please Custard Check your exported file before uploading to double check. Once your Sim / Household is available on the Exchange, please post a reply on this thread including: name / map reference or address (or identify as Townie) / download link / 1 cover picture / custard screenshot confirming no 3rd party custom content included. Optional! Link to additional picture site / showcase thread. Looking forward to participation by the Sims 3 community! 😀 STORIES / VIDEOS Players may wish to enjoy this world as it evolves and we welcome links to any Petite Alsace story threads / blogs / media.
