Soocoolsim'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.

"Sandraelle;c-18263370" wrote: https://i.imgur.com/hvzuyE9.jpg Hello everyone! We figure that most people will probably want to pick and choose what lots they'd like to add to their Magic Kingdom World, but if you'd like a world with all the lots, I have created a world save with all the lots for you. It's missing two lots (see my note below). Depending on your computer specs, you may experience game crashes with a fully outfitted world. But if you have a powerful computer (I do not, lol), our hope is that it will run smoothly. Another option to minimize the size, is to split up the world into two world saves by having two copies and editing each world to your liking. Or if you have a mod, you may be able to make them vacation worlds, however, I'm not sure exactly how to do that. :# Just click on this zip file link to download the folder and place it in your "Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Saves" folder before launching your game. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don't already have the empty base Disney Magic Kingdom world downloaded and installed on your computer, you will need to do that first before loading up your game with my world save, otherwise it won't load the save. You can find the link to the world on page 1. :) :) :) Happy simming!!!! Note: Since I don't own Midnight Hollow's Golden Ticket Toy Shop, I wasn't able to place two of the lots. Here are the links for those two builds so you can add them in yourself.

Experience the magic of Disney as we invite you to collaborate in showcasing the talent within the Sims 3 community! Our launch on Oct 1/21 coincided with the official start of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations. This project began several months ago when sparky1922 expressed her hope to me soocoolsim of having a playable Disney world. This idea grew as the talented @Hidehi worked with my input and the official Disney map to create the Magic Kingdom world base. I think you'll agree that Hidehi did an awesome job, and we're hoping for your feedback as lots are added to ensure that world routing, etc works as intended. With the addition of Sandraelle and romagi1 to the planning team, this community collaboration to create the Magic Kingdom is now open for your participation! Apr 3/23 - EDIT! All lots have been claimed or accounted for so the rest of this post is no longer valid. Thanks to everyone who participated. Your submissions have brought this world ‘to life’. Thanks also to our supporters for your comments, likes and downloads. We have had a blast and hope you enjoyed being with us on this journey. Stay tuned for the grand finale to celebrate completion of this amazing project! So now onto the fine print! Here's a chance to express your creativity with choices from a wide range of building styles. The rules are pretty simple: CLAIMING GUIDELINES Take a look at the list of lots available using either the forum posts or online spreadsheet as reference. Indicate you're on board for the collab and sign up for your first claim by posting on this thread with your chosen lot and map reference #s. I will update the list with your claim (as well as the download / media links when completed). Every two weeks (approx the 1st and 15th of the month) a new sign-up period will begin. You may claim a new lot during each sign-up period after your build is completed - as long as you don't have more than two builds underway at a time. BUILDING GUIDELINES Map areas: The following posts list the world lots along with reference maps and a short description about each area. You can also view everything consolidated in the spreadsheet linked below. Thanks to Sandraelle for creating the reference maps. Optional! View the on-line Sims 3 Magic Kingdom spreadsheet (Lots on tab 1. Maps on tab 2): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cqRP4cJ8gBpwAkDmSD5UQ36V2atAw5QCFsSyOK4wxPI/edit#gid=1788133881 Community lots / Disney attractions: The intent is to replicate the exterior of the actual attractions as best as you can. The interior design is more flexible as you see fit for the use of the lot and Sims 3 game play. Please do stay with the overall theme of the area for the decor and include any special lot designation requirements. You can Google pictures of your claimed lot and we've also included some inspiration links below which may be helpful. Residential builds: Again, please stay with the general look and overall theme of the area including your chosen lot. You have creative freedom otherwise. No third-party Custom Content allowed — please Custard Check your lots before uploading to double check. Helpful notes All Expansion Packs OK for use. All Stuff Packs OK for use. All purchasable Store Items OK for use. Free Store items can be used if they can still be downloaded. Post link(s) to your lot download / media when available. You can also include a cover shot.

We would greatly appreciate feedback on any positive experiences or concerns you may experience as the world gets populated. At this stage, we do not plan to provide a completed world. It is up to players to download and populate as desired when builds become available. Once the world is full / almost full we may provide a game save file, but first things first... to create the lots 😀 https://i.imgur.com/e0NAxlX.png Feb 9/22 - New opportunity! This is mainly for those folks who love to decorate but find building daunting. See page 14 for available shells. Now it works! Post your claim on this thread (Map #, Ref #) and download the relevant shell. Decorate as you wish using the following guidelines. In the final lot description, we request you keep the credit to the shell creator. Upload your completed build and circle back here with the link(s) to your file and (optional) screenshots. Residential shell décor guidelines No budget limitations! All EPs, SPs, store items allowed. No 3rd party CC allowed. For the exterior... You can change the colours of the siding, roofing and flooring and move/delete/add windows and doors. Create your own landscaping as you wish including adding/modifying driveways, gardens, etc. For the interior... You have free rein to modify everything! Window, door or wall in the way of your fab design? No worries... just move or delete it. Want to switch a bedroom to a study? Go right ahead... the power is with you to change the layout as you see fit. STARTER HOMES Several lots have been designated for building starter homes. Of course, other appropriate lots can be used to create a starter. Check with a planning team member if uncertain. EDIT Oct 9/22 - All designated starter homes completed! Visit this post on page 12 for the list of builds. SPIN-OFFS Players are encouraged to share links to their Disney Magic Kingdom in game stories. Please touch base with soocoolsim via PM with your blog / story link(s) for approval by the planning team. Visit this post to read stories submitted by DMK world players.

Download and install the individual lots - see list and links in the Map Area posts below, OR Install the game save file - see links and instructions below "Sandraelle;c-18356138" wrote: Hi everyone! Wow, I can't believe we've completed all the lots for this Cape Albacore collaboration. That went fast and what fun it was!! We're figuring that most people like to customize their worlds and place just the lots that they choose to have in it, however, you may wish to have a complete Cape Albacore world with every single lot pre-placed in it. If so, then you're in luck, as I have created a world save file for you. :) VERY IMPORTANT: You will first need to download and install the empty base Cape Albacore world for my world save file to work. If not installed on your computer yet, here is the download link. After installing an empty world, just click on this zip file link to download the folder and place it in your “Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Saves” folder before launching your game.

Replay editor
The replay editor always does one of 3 things: Freezes on one frame and doesn’t let you rewind or fast forward so you have to back out and go back into it potentially loosing the clip you got. Gets really “stuttery”, what I mean by this is it jumps frames and makes your clips look infinitely worse Just stays on a black screen and doesn’t show the replay at all I know it’s still early access I’m not complaining just giving feedback and bringing this up and hoping it gets fixed soon!Skating Passion Since 1987 - Sharing Videos, Tricks and Stories
Hello, passionate about skateboarding and a purist with about fifteen years of IRL skateboarding in the "golden years" from 1987 onwards, I launched a YouTube channel to share this passion, without pretension, just for fun. My goal isn't to post videos at a set, calculated frequency just for the sake of posting, I simply enjoy the game while saving certain shots. These might spark an idea or a concept, and if so, I set them aside to produce a video that makes sense to me. Being able to exchange feedback afterward, whether positive or negative, but always constructive, is a significant bonus. Here's the link to the channel, along with two playlists, one of which features my latest videos, which are actually a trilogy centered around the Reaper and the Nike SB Event…. HK SINISTER - YouTube The Reaper/Nike SB Event Trilogy Skate. Street Dreams - The Pink Era : First Draft - YouTube Thank you for taking the time to read this.. Please feel free to share your thoughts; I'm open to all your suggestions. Peace !
Simsovision concert!
The RESULTS show is here!! --------------------- This performance is a Sims version of Eurovision where different countries compete. Each performance is done by a different producer so there's a big variety in music, performance type and talent. If you don't like one, skip to the next! Voting is open for about a week I think and then they'll have the finale show to announce the results. Or you can watch the performances separately as each one was posted individually after the main concert was over. Post your favorite here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBBQmEpGW0U&t=2s All the performances were also posted individually after the stream. This is the link to just the opening act by the winner from last year, Aurora, and I would post my favorite performance but I'm not sure yet! The very last one was pretty incredible but isn't it always. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acysi2isFZo
Workaround for co-op goals not counting in challenges.
From my understanding, after trial an error of trying to get a consistent workaround for the Co-op goals not counting for more than 1 player, the issue lies with the fact that whoever tricked on the spot first tricks again soon after. Example of Issue: Let’s say there’s two people in a party completing a session challenge. Player 1 tricks on the spot, and it counts for the Co-op goal like it should, but Player 2 hasn’t had a chance to trick yet. Instead, Player 1 tricks again, this immediately bugs the Co-op goal, causing Player 2’s tricks to not count. Workaround: From what I’ve seen, the only workaround for this bug is for Player 1 (the person who tricks first) to immediately stop after tricking on the spot. This gives a chance for Player 2 to trick on the spot, allowing both players’ tricks to count. This also seems to be the case with all the other challenges. Example: Line challenges. Let’s say Player 1 completes the line, but Player 2 hasn’t been able to, so Player 1 decides to complete the line again. This causes the Co-op goal to bug out as well, making Player 2’s completion of the line not count for the goal. Attached Video Below👇 with an example of the challenge goal bugging out after I tricked twice before my friend, him having to restart, and then the workaround of me waiting the second time. Hope this helps y’all continue completing Co-op challenges in the meantime, as we wait for a fix. ❤️ P.S. If anyone finds another workaround, feel free to share it here, along with any questions.
