What We Need Is... More Books

After long last I realized that instead of battling with the constant urge to swap my book defaults, I could just give my sims more books to read.

This mod combines both of mine + iSimChi's book defaults and makes the game randomize between those for each genre. So instead of 7 books, there are 21 ✨

I made my older covers use the pages of my newer ones since they have more details.

The mod also fixes the following book behavior:

Books placed outside of bookshelves will no longer turn upwards when a lot is loaded

The 'read to sleep' interaction (that was added in Apartment Life and appears on minors who are in bed but haven't yet fallen asleep) will use children's books instead of the skilling one

This mod consists of two files. In addition to the mod file, there's a texture file that includes the needed book defaults.

If you want to use the mod with some other defaults, simply replace the textures from the texture file. You can also use that file as a base for making your own default set of 21 books.

📚 Download (SFS) (alternate)

Free Time is required. Conflicts with other book cover default replacements, remove those before using these. Also conflicts with ftminifixes by Pescado, if you want to use both make my mod load last (you'll lose the golden book that ftminifixes brings back to the reward bookcase since this mod randomizes textures for that bookcase too).

⚠️ A replacement for novel icons isn't included. You'll probably want to get the one from my newer defaults, as those covers will be used for the novels with the included texture file.

Many thanks to @isimchi for the permission to use their awesome textures 💜 for full credits, please see the original posts.

Update (11.11.2024): The covers are now also randomized for the bed/hammock reading interactions and for the film & literature reading while walking hobby idle. For all of these, sims can now also pick books other than skilling and will show an individual taste in books based on the sim's interests, hobbies, and aspirations, as well as on 3t2 traits* if those are used.

*Includes trait checks for bookworm, computer whiz, dramatic, hopeless romantic, natural cook, and perceptive.

All the books have 512x512 textures and use a 64x64 specular map. The mod file includes improved material definitions that also fix some lighting issues for the drama and the scifi books.

Random Main Menu Images - Time of Day Based [TESTING]

This mod randomizes the image you see on the main menu background. By default, it selects an image based on your computer's time (daytime is from 6 AM to 9 PM). Alternatively, you can change a tunable for it to display a random image at all times. The mod also hides the mod info dialog by default. However, you can change a tunable setting to display it the first time you enter the main menu, or you can use the "mods" command anytime in your game to see it. Things to test: If the image doesn't change, please let me know. I’m unsure about the mod’s timing and how it behaves on different PCs. My testing showed that the image is being replaced all the time.

Three lots united in one and transformed into apartments: 170 Main Street (Dina and Nina’s house), 150 Main Street (Don’s house) and 30 Lakeside Drive.

Notes: no upper deck for Calente’s and Lothario’s condos to make them compatible with apartments.

Completely cc free but contains two portals in the file as I made it a corner lot. You can install the lot without these portals using Clean Installer.

Alright, finally I could get both parts of this uploaded. So, November 10th is when Fallout 4 released back in 2015, making it 9 whole years old today. I decided I'd try doing some conversions of stuff. These are conversions from the "Modern Domestic" set in the game, you get the two end tables and a chair, plus a loveseat add-on for the chair.

Details:

The loveseat is linked to the chair, and the end small end table is linked to the big, meaning you will need those meshes for the others to work. The end tables and chairs aren't linked in any way, however.

And yes, they're both in end tables, and stand at typical end table height. The two-tile one is cloned from a conversion of an awesims sideboard (to get the slots and all that right) idk where the original download is but I got it here.

The chair has two subsets while the tables have just one.

The cushions on the chair are in the same 28 colors from last time, the woods on both sets are an assortment of 7 natural colors, using color actions by Hafiseazale.

Textures are 512x512, Files are compressed

Polycounts -

Chair - F:956/V:1235

Loveseat Add-On - F:1422/V:1803

Big End Table - F:612/V:636

OH I almost forgot to mention, the end tables. They are about half the depth that they are in fo4, these things are massive by default. Like, they're too damn big in fo4 they're as thick as the shoulder span of an X-01, as I found out.

I' m playing this game over 10 years 🤍

Reblog if you don't plan on leaving The Sims 3

I’m sad because a lot of blogs I like are choosing TS4 and completely dropping TS3. I just want to know if at least some people are sticking with TS3 or both TS3 and TS4

Fun, good quality tattoos for TS3!

Recently, I realized my sims' tattoos were not flattering. The styles in the original game weren't exactly what i was going for and didn't represent my sims personality. I found THIS website:

sims3tattoos.webador.de

Sims 3 Tattoos

fine lines, animals, flowers, mandalas, Disney, letters, Astrology, Star sign, gaming, download

This site is run by a wonderful team of people offering free ts3 tattoo designs. Their page is organized by themes, and there's a section for tattoos as accessories if you are seeking that. Otherwise they function as regular skin tattoos which can be applied in CAS.

Im pretty sure they've posted their designs here on tumblr before as well!

Thanks to these creators, i revamped my sim and im very happy with her ink now. Have a wonderful day, simblr users, enjoy :)
