I've been sick in bed with a cold.

My abdominal muscles pain from coughing too much.

★ゴーゴー喫茶の編集(Go-go kissa Edit)★(Disco)

It's difficult to explain "Go-go kissa" in English… Excerpt from Wikipedia. "Go-go kissa is a type of coffee shop that was popular from the 1960s to the early 1970s. This is one of the so-called music cafes where you can listen to go-go with live music by electric bands and loud LP records, and dance go-go in the center of the floor. "

The "Go-go kissa" posted on April 5th has been slightly self renovated.

I'm really bad at choosing exterior walls. I wouldn't say it's very nice.

I created a signboard in the style of the late 1960s.

I made the tables, chairs, and floor look old-fashioned. Full of retro feel.

The Sims seem to be having a lot of fun chatting, dancing, and drinking, so I'm glad I built it.

☆I can’t write it all down, but I’m grateful to the many CC creators.☆

Thank you for always reading my posts！

See you next time.

Tip: smaller save files

Guys, no one asked for this xD but I thought I should share with you!

I bought a new PC and was looking for ways to clean my savefiles, so i found this tutorial. It is a way to delete those useless memory pictures that are stored in your saves. It would be 1000% reccomended to turn off the memory system btw!

Seriously, just look at this hundred of files just stressing the game!!! I managed to get rid of 310MB x.x

🌼 Default Replacement Wildflowers 🌼

to celebrate my one year anniversary of this blog, a small gift! this is something i’ve wanted for ages - a default replacement of the wildflowers (without the weird red vase, what was ea thinking??) i ended up changing some of the flower types to something that i thought was prettier! the text changes are currently only in ENGLISH, but if you would like to translate this mod, send me a message! (i would have loved to add other types of wildflower like larkspur or yarrow, but all of them share the same mesh so i had to keep it simple)

WHATS INCLUDED

- new mesh for wildflowers - new mesh for wildflower vase - new 512x512 textures - text replacement for some flowers

TEXT CHANGES

azalea > columbine indian blanket > poppy sulfur > anemone sweet william > queen anne’s lace black eyed susan > candytuft

CREDITS & THANK YOU

flowers are from this mesh by babayaga vase is from ea store

i would especially like to thank @enable–llamas for helping me with the textures and @zoeoe-sims and @greenplumbboblover for helping me change the string files for the flowers! i would have been lost without you all 😊

WASD → ZQSD ; Controls for AZERTY mod

Hello fellow Simmers who use an AZERTY keyboard like me and play The Sims 3. Isn’t the camera hard to control if you don’t switch to QWERTY when you get into the game? It is… unless you get used to it.

:-(

:D

So I created a mod to fix that. Unfortunately, as you know CTRL+Z is “Undo”, it conflicts with the shortcut because there are “pitch up / down” controls (CTRL+W / CTRL+X on QWERTY), which just make the camera rotate on the X axis. I tried to change it but… idk, it was the same as before. :c + I did look pretty much everywhere if someone already made a mod like that after all these years, but I didn’t find anything. Instead I found people saying it was impossible to change the controls lol

🐓 Pour les francophones qui me liraient (et/ou qui chercheraient ce genre de chose sur un moteur de recherche), j’ai créé un mod pour changer les touches contrôlant la caméra dans Les Sims 3, parce que bouger ses doigts dans tous les sens et se tromper de touche à chaque fois juste parce que j’ai pas envie de passer au QWERTY euh… non merci xd J’ai testé, ça fonctionne sans souci. Bon, si, il y a un souci… CTRL+Z ne fonctionne plus (plus pour annuler, ça bouge la caméra à la place). :’-( Il y a un fichier que j’ai tenté de modifier mais ça créait plein de conflicts donc j’ai laissé tomber. Au moins c’est moins la galère pour bouger la caméra avec un clavier azerty donc je ne trouve pas cela si dérangeait que ça. Bon voilà, j’ai pas créé de version FR pour les images au dessus mais si vous avez un anglais basique correct (niveau école primaire quoi), vous devriez comprendre sans problème.

Instructions: 1) Cliquez sur MF ou MEGA au dessus, ça vous redirigera vers Mediafire ou MEGA où vous pourrez télécharger le fichier .package. 2) Une fois le fichier téléchargé, mettez-le dans le dossier Overrides qui se trouve à l’adresse suivante: C:\Users\(nom)\Documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 3\Mods\Overrides ; si vous ne l’avez pas, cherchez comment installer des mods sur Internet. 🤔

Anyway, no need to credit me for this. Don’t repost and claim as yours though. And especially don’t repost behind a paywall or on a paysite! That’s nasty, yikes

ps: I did consider posting on MTS but um… I’m not sure how to do it properly so… I’ll think about it >< and I don’t have an SFS account

pps: If the mod causes any issue other than what I already mentioned lmk

AINALI by technicallyswagpizza

Ainali lies at the northern end of Finland where pristine blue lakes are surrounded by dense green forests. The rural village itself boasts of pretty, colourful traditional houses. Ainali is a destination for people who want to experience wild nature and love being outdoors, be it fishing, hiking, biking or simply getting lost. Also a great place for introverts to unite! As far away from other people as possible, of course.

I turned into a bit of a world collector *coughhoardercough* while I have been on a mission to find a perfect world that suits my playstyle and aesthetics plus is relatively small and lag free. I haven’t found many worlds that are based on Scandinavia let alone Finland, but I stumbled upon Vera’s Sammallampi awhile ago and I fell in love with it! It made me feel all fuzzy inside as it reminded me of my childhood and sweet summer holidays by the Ainali lake. I edited the world for my own enjoyment initially, but as I have been doing so I figured I might as well share it with the rest of you simmers since it really is a nifty little world!

What has changed then?

The playable area is now a medium map within a large world map, if that makes sense. Even though the lots are a little spread out around the lake it won’t take several sim hours to drive from one end to the other.

The original distant terrain didn’t load for me, so I replaced it with ones from Twinbrooks and Island Paradise.

Updated some of the textures such as grass and soil to use Nilxis textures instead.

I have fixed all the roads, spawners and overall routing, I removed one of the piers as it was causing routing issues as well. Sadly, I had to make the small islands unroutable too.

I removed quite a lot of trees, but it is still very much a tree heavy world.

I have tamed all the floating grasses and trees.

I added more lots and changed the size for some of the originals.

I created a lighting mod and included it in the world file.

Finally, I renamed it after my childhood stomping grounds.

But wait, there is more! I have made two versions for you to choose from!

#1 Empty world // Requirements:

Base-game and Ambitions, Island Paradise distant terrain is included in the download incase you don’t have the pack installed.

Map is completely empty, has a wide variety of spawners and ready to be built by you. Go crazy!

⇩ Download // Mirror ⇩

#2 Built and ready to move in! // Requirements:

Base game, World Adventures, Ambitions, Generations, Late Night, Showtime, University Life, Aurora Skies store world, (Island Paradise is optional).

CC included in the download: Aurora Skies, Rabbit hole rugs & doors by Jynx (Pet fixed), distant terrain from Island Paradise. CC not included: Bistro rug by Misty as per her TOU, download it here. (Registration needed)

All the lots are built and furnished.

I want to emphasize that this is very much a base game friendly world with some items used from the rest of the packs listed above simply for their functionality (Late Night for bars, University for baristas and grocery rabbithole, Ambitions for skilling items, Generations for a wedding arch etc) and as the world is based on a nordic village I used Aurora Skies stuff in it as well but it’s mostly just roofs, paneling and the lovely lupin flowers that come with it. If you don’t have some of the expansion packs or don’t want to install Aurora Skies the items I have used will simply be replaced by something else from your own game. Nothing should break, but some bits might look a little bare or funky due to the replaced items!

More pictures in my blog under the #Ainali tag over here

⇩  Download // Mirror ⇩ 

Almost there, just few more bits!

I have created a lighting mod for Ainali and included it in the world file itself, I would recommend at least trying it out (by taking your own lighting mod out of Mods/Packages folder to see it in action)! If you like Ainali’s lighting and want to use it in other worlds or as a standalone mod, shoot me a message and I’ll make a package for you.

This world comes with 16 Community lots, 14 Residential lots and 2 empty lots. I have not included population.

Ainali comes with basic rabbit hole careers you would get in a vanilla game. Even though I have all the expansions I rarely if ever play with pets or occult sims, so lots related to them you have to add yourself (Festival lots, future and showtime bits).

I would strongly advise downloading Nraas Go Here and disabling boats. They will cause lag as townies have a habit of looping around endlessly. Same with horses, really, as they tend to get stuck.

Some houses and lots may look familiar as I have edited and used EA lots as a base + 2 lots from doublemedion694′s Cladbridge-on-Stowe (one was made by Reachsim) and 1 lot from CAW blog’s Amberville.

You do NOT need the original Sammallampi world installed for Ainali to work. This is a completely new world that simply used Sammallampi as a base.

So just to make sure this is clear, everything else aside from the rabbit hole rugs/doors are entirely, utterly, completely cc free. I used Nilxis textures while building in CAW, but you don’t have to download them nor will they have an impact on your game outside of Ainali. The rest is just pure vanilla EA base game stuff, part of expansion packs or Aurora Skies.

If you post pictures, please let me know and tag them with #Ainali or simply holla at me. I’d love to see any and all pictures!

Congratulations, you have reached the end credits!

Special thanks to @verakasthethird for creating Sammallampi and allowing me to edit and share it forward. Shoutout to @nornities for answering a buttload of questions related to CAW, playtesting and witnessing my brainfarts without judging me, you have been a massive help! High5 @starburstshores for finding the time to test Ainali for me, you are golden ♡ Also final thanks to @nilxis for sharing the beautiful grass and soil textures!

Octumblr random set

Made with love and care, this set is a mix of CC fix + new meshes (painting and book ♥). I didn’t do it thinking about autumn because I had already started working on these objects a long time ago. But I think it was completed at the right time :).

Hi! :) It’s pretty easy if you’re willing to fiddle with the lighting. During the daytime hours, when you place lights outside they’re already “turned on”, but they don’t actually give off any light. The trick is to toggle the day/night button (or use the L key) twice while in build or buy mode, which then triggers them to light up. If you place any new lights after you’ve done that you’ll need to do it again, and most of the time you’ll have to change their intensity to get your sims to look good. At night it’s a bit easier since you don’t need to fool with any of that to get them to light up, but I’ve also found that for one hour at dawn and one hour at dusk nothing gets the buy debug lights to work outside.

Hope that helps! If you need any further clarification let me know. :)

Johnson Brothers "Indies Blue" Plate and Bowl Default Replacement

Kinda random, just a default replacement for the plate and bowl sims eat from.

I think it's such a pretty design IRL so why not let my sims have it too!

Textures are 512x512

The bowl looks a bit weird but I think that's the mesh's fault :p
