Back To The Sims 3!
After years away, I'm finally back playing The Sims 3 😁🤩 I had forgotten how much fun it is to build, creat unique sims, and watch the little chaos unfold. The nostalgia hit me right away, the music, the details... it's like coming home to an old friend. I missed this so much!💖77Views5likes6CommentsSoocoolsim's Showcase ⚜️
Hi everyone, welcome to my showcase thread! I started playing since the original Sims, love building in Sims 3 the most and am happy to see others still enjoying this version as well. It’s been heartwarming and inspirational to be an active part of the Sims community individually and as a member of the DNA request team. In the past several years it’s also been my pleasure to initiate / host / participate in several Sims 3 world build collaborations. No 3rd party custom content is used in my creations and they are play-tested and Custard checked before uploading. An aspect I really love is creating unique and themed builds, especially those that involve using CFE. The builds in my SIMS 3 STUDIO also include a wide range of architectural styles and blends. I do hope you enjoy my sharing as much as I enjoy building.

Hello My main way of getting cc for the most part is just downloading cool sims I see on the exchange. But after having a recently unsolved gitch in my game, I have decided to overhaul and uninstall all of the cc sims that I downloaded. This means I lost a lot of good cc that I have no way to find again. Im fine with losing most of the cc as I have found .package cc thats just as nice. The only thing I'm stuck on are some big hoop earrings and this specific sweatsuit set! Its sooo cute and I cant find any other cc that will supplement. For the earrings I'm cool with any big thin hoop earrings, and just havent been able to find them. But for the sweatsuit, I love how baggy the pants are and the underboob of the top! Please help me find. 🙏🙏Solved108Views1like2CommentsCoastal Roads - My New Sims 3 World!
The second beta is out. I announced the first one over on my Tumblr. I also made a separate post talking about the pride flag crosswalks I created for the world. This screenshot is of the first version of the world, but for the most part, its very similar to how it looks now. It is missing the lots that CJplays will create, that assuming nothing goes wrong will be included in the final version of the map The map requires every single expansion pack and stuff pack with the exception of Katy Perry Sweet Treats as that is is the only pack I do not own. In addition it uses the following free store objects No Tricks, Just Treats More Halloween Treats More Holiday Presents Weba Yayfoo Modern HDTV by Webbsta Industries Honeycomb Bookshelf ( I'm having trouble finding this one in the store for some reason. Hope its still available ) Let there be Sims! You can download the second version along with the first official saved game file for the world. When the final version is released, the map and the saved game file will be a separate download, but for now you will have to download them together. Please make sure you playtest the map using the saved game file. The current version of Coastal Roads will have to be installed for it to work. Make sure you delete the previous version if you had it installed on your computer I am also creating some extra lots that you will be able to download separately when the final version of the map is released, that use some premium store content. Now that that's over with, here are some additional, more up to date screenshots of what the world currently looks like. Most of the sims in the pictures below are ones that I created, but a few of them are NPC townies. You will need to load the saved game file, in order to encounter them. There will not be any graveyard ghosts in the saved game file, until the final version of the map. So what do you guys think so far? Please let me know if there is anything you like or dislike about the world and if there is anything that could be improved upon. Also, please let me know what you think of my simsSolved404Views5likes10CommentsSims 3 Household Exchange
This thread is a place for people to share their Sims 3 Households, that we know are clean, and free from custom content that may cause issues in other people's games. Most user made worlds are unpopulated, and creating dozens of sims or families to fill these worlds can be a tedious experience. Sometimes you just want to get in there and play. Alternatively, people might want a fresh new batch of sims, or maybe you just might like to show off pictures of what other people's sims are getting up to in your game. Here you can post links to households for others to download. Households can be in sims3pack form, or, you can simply take the household file from the Library folder in the Documents / Sims 3 directory and share that. Sims3packs are, of course, installed through the launcher. Households in package form are dropped directly into the Library folder of your Documents / Sims 3 directory. Sharing the library file also lessens the risk of any CC tagging along. If you're using sims3packs please make sure that you scan them with Custard beforehand, to check that there is no custom content attached. To ensure than everyone can download, at this time please lets just create sims and households using base game items and traits only. No custom content or create-a-pattern please. Households can be uploaded to the exchange, if they're clean, or to places like MediaFire, Box.net, DropBox or SimFileShare ( if you know someone with a code, or are prepared to wait for account authorisation ) It's not a requirement, but perhaps include a screenshot of your household that you're sharing, and maybe their backstory if they have one. ( Please don't quote pictures in the thread responses. ) Edit - I've asked @SimGuruDrake to sticky the thread so it doesn't get lost and is easily accessible for both old and new players.23KViews5likes128CommentsI want to see your hottest sim
Let me see what you've got! And did you make them in CAS or were they born in game? I think right now Connie is mine. I did make her in CAS and I am really proud of her. I'm hoping she will pass on her hot gene to her children. ;) https://i.imgur.com/gEDuJMN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/b9UHDqV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/b1QEVhl.jpg21KViews1like83CommentsRoaring Heights Creation Sharing Thread (Updated 1/7/14)
