Reblog If You Don't Plan On Leaving The Sims 3

TUTORIAL OVER MAKING CUSTOM SIMS 3 PAINTINGS:

Okay y’all, here’s my first tutorial. I broke it down barney style for those who have never worked with the programs before, so forgive me if you’re more advanced. I wanted anyone to be able to follow this. [Forgive my background noise, I have a sensitive mike and a 4 year old who doesn’t understand the meaning of quiet yet lol]

If you have any questions - See that I missed a step - or can think of a better way to improve the process, PLEASE let me know! I hope this helps.

Some of our gameplay tips and tricks

Hey! We’re going to share with you some of our sims 3 gameplay tips:

1. Always save games while in “Map View”. Each time I save the game i always make sure to press M and save my game from the Map View. I can’t remember exactly where i found this or who suggested it to me but it has REALLY helped me with the game saving. Or maybe it’s just an illusion, either way it worked smoothly ever since. ( @simplyimaginarypeople :  saving in Map view uses less RAM and sometimes prevents Error 12) 

2. Always save games with “Save As”. Whenever it prompts the “Already existing town” just make sure you hit “replace”. Just like above, I can’t remember why or how but somehow it helped me avoid issues, endless loading screens and processing.

3. Make sure you always backup your game. And not only! Keep a backup of everything:  CC, sims, files,pictures,library, videos everything you want to keep safe. Not sure what a backup is? Click here or here 

4. Make sure you clean Cache files each time before you go in game. Not going in depth here on how or why, instead click this link , link 2 and if you have a Mac click here 

5. Never keep Screenshots/ Videos in the documents folder. It will just slows down the game. Always move them somewhere safe.

6. Make sure your sims’ inventories are as clean as possible. Keeping too many items in the inventory can lead to some ugly bugs.

7. Suggested by @simplyimaginarypeople “Turn off memories in game. They pile up the Cache files and never delete properly even if you delete memories.

8. Use Nraas Master controller when your game is acting weird. Head over to the City Hall click Nraas Master controller and fiddle around with the settings: Reset Everything is the best option when your town is buggy. Another option would be to use Nraas Master Controller on a specific Lot to use Reset Lot, it does the same thing but resets one single lot. Always use the cheat “Resetsim *” to reset all the sims in the town. And cheat “resetsim SimFirstName SimLastName” to reset a certain sim that got stuck. 

These are some of the tips that always helped me with my gameplay and i hope people will take note of them too from now on. Again, i can’t guarantee it will always work for you but you can always give them a try.

Reduce CC without deleting!

First Method

So I found this program on my computer: s3rc redux, and decided to run all my packages through it (not mods, poses or sliders). It reduced my CC by 7.5GB without me deleting anything. All items still work so far, although I haven’t checked all functionality.

But if someone wants to reduce their CC easily, then I have uploaded the s3rc here, as the original here is down. Just drag and drop .packages (and sims3packs) onto it :D

But backup just in case!

Second Method

So you might all realize that skins are probably the biggest files you have in game. This is because they usually contain a load of HQ images.

BUT

Most people don’t know that when using Skininator, you need to “Compact Save” not “Save”. What this does, is if your skintone uses the same image for dark and light, or the same images for teen/YA/A/E, instead of saving the image multiple times, it only saves one copy, and then links to that picture for the rest.

This saves A LOT of space!

So if you wanna quickly reduce CC, then just open all your skins in Skininator one by one, and press “Compact Save”, then open the next. I saved around 2-3GB doing this!

This probably won’t make your game load much faster, but it is still worth it.
