Making a mall. Dos and Donts
Hi folks. I wanted to make a big mall for my sims. But I can't think of what I can place inside to make it both look and feel like a mall without just being total chaos. I will make some stores just "fake" stores, either look like forever closed, or just like, you to to browse but nothing more. I think I will have one or two of those food court things from Seasons inside. And maybe one of those consignment cashiers. My main Q's are 1. If I put down a rabbithole-rug for the movie theatre, will this jumble up some of the other things on the lot (being a rabbit hole), or will it work like normal / have no effect on like, a cashier etc. 2. If I put down a performance stage, where they can have performers etc, will this affect anything else? Like, make the lot a venue so some things will not work?
Need Room for Rotational Play in Sunset Valley
I realize that not many people play the Sims 3 rotationally. At least, not many people document that type of gameplay online the way they do for the Sims 2, but I'm planning quite a big undertaking in my own personal game. I have added several families (including plans for new businesses / community lots) to Sunset Valley and plan to play them all in rotation Sims 2 style using NRAAS and other mods. However, I need room for the extra families and the expansion of descendants over time, and unfortunately there's no option to add more space via subhoods like there is in Sims 2. All that to say, does anyone have ideas / techniques (probably using create a world to modify the map I guess?) to expand Sunset Valley with more residential lots in a way that feels organic and keeps most of the premade houses intact? P.S. ~ I know it might sound like if I like Sims 2 style rotational play then I would be better off playing that game, but I love so many things about the Sims 3 like the traits, customization, and open world detail, so I feel like I could better tell my sims' stories the way I want in that game, even if it takes some tweaking to get it working the way I need it to.
mystery house
Hi all ... it's my first time posting here, and I'm wondering whether any Simmers out there can help me find a CC house. I downloaded it a couple of years ago; then my computer crashed, and I lost a lot of stuff. I had placed the house on a lot in one of my save games, so I just saved that lot to my new memory bin when I got a new computer and reinstalled everything. I wanted to find the original house because I had placed my download on a larger lot than the house was built on. So I recently began looking for it online--but I've had no luck whatsoever. I have a feeling the original builder removed it from whatever site they posted it to, which is a shame because it's a lovely split-level house that must have taken a ton of work and care to build. Here's a photo of it as installed in another save game (the original was on a 40x40 lot): Does anyone else have, or recognize, this house? Maybe someone even knows who the builder was...? If anyone can help me find this house again, I would be so appreciative. Thanks in advance!
New world - Need houses.
Hello, my name is elliskane3, and I've just built a world called "Dogwood Forest". I'm going to try to make a populated version and send the save to mediafire to be available to download. What I'm asking is: Since I don't have the best building skills, I would like some of you to build houses and respond with links to them, that I could feature in the world. Here is a list of the size of lots there are: 20 x 30 30 x 40 40 x 40 30 x 30 Thank you :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
