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.

Various types of self storage is available. Safe deposit boxes (wheel lock, dial/pin code lock or biometric), drop slot postal boxes and shutter rooms.

Thank you Sandy, always look forward to this at the end of every year 🤗❤️ Can’t Wait!

Around the Sims | Advent calendar 2019

If you chatted with me not so long ago, I had probably told that I wouldn’t do an Advent calendar this year. Too much stress in RL, not enough time, too much work, not enough support, too much this, not enough that… So, instead, it was supposed to be a “12 days before Christmas”. But then, I thought to people who might expect that advent calendar, who might come to my site the 1st of December, hoping finding something and who would be disappointed… It broke my heart! So, I changed my mind, and you’ll get a complete Advent calendar, just as usual, even if it means I won’t sleep before a while!  :D The “idea” of the year was to re-do what I had done for my very first Advent calendar, for Sims 2, about 10 years ago (yeah, I know, do you hear my bones cracking?), with “hidden” gifts: you see the gift wrapping and you have a hint about what’s inside, but you don’t see immediately what you download. But you still can get a preview if you like better knowing! Anyway, you download the gift wrapping and the mystery gift. :)

You’ll find tiny gifts or much bigger ones, depending if they were planned or not (or if I slept or not! ;))

Starting on YOUR 1st of December!

Reminder: New objects to download every day from the 1st to the 24th of December.They’re available for 24 hours only, but don’t worry if you missed one, all the objects will be available again from the 25th of December! ;)

Gifts will be the same for Sims 3 and Sims 4 (with eventually different functions, though). Around the Sims 3 Around the Sims 4

(and don’t forget you can support the sites, so I know you enjoy the Advent calendar! ;D)

PS: I post this on the 29th of November, so there’s nothing yet to see on the sites. It’s just to be sure you’ll be ready! ;)

BLACK LIVES MATTER

We are not staying silent and we are definitely not accepting any kind of racism.We need justice for all the lives that have been taken and for all the horrible times that we have been through. The world is broken and even though this is only a tiny step forward, it is a start for something big. If we all stick together, watch out for each other and pull up for those that are in need of help..we can make this world better. Staying silent in those kind of times, just means you are totally fine with what is going on. I see you all, all those who prefer to go to fancy events and posting their fashion pics instead of marching with us. Pull up!

As always, the Job Centre’s looking for mod testers for anyone who’s interested. Feel free to DM me here, Discord or on the forum if you want to help out!

This is so AMAZING!!! I am so happy I found this now because I am setting up a world that uses Zerbu’s Ultimate Careers Mod and I am now renovating the grocery store but wasn’t sure how to make it functional.

Also the detailed tutorial on how to set up uniforms for schools just blows my mind. I also don’t like playing with supernaturals, I like more of a family oriented game play so the tip on how to use the alchemy station to create herbs for medical purposes is amazing cause I do have one in my science and medical building.

I was most excited about the pregnancy section because I hate the walk that they do sooooo much, it makes them move so slow. I know I’ve seen it somewhere before but just can’t remember and I’ve searched and searched but couldn’t find where so I’m happy to actually find it again.

I love every aspect of this, THABK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH for this, I found this just in time.

How I Play - Sims 3

What I love about the Sims 3 is the freedom to play anyhow you wish! Want to live in an alien/futuristic world? You got it! Want to rewind to medieval times? Go for it! Want to simulate real-life? Then you’re in the same club as me 😊

For those in the realism club, I’ve spent some time geeking out on my page sharing all the inside details for a more fun realistic game-play. 

If you’re interested in geeking out with me a bit, have a read and leave a comment telling me how you play!

Shoutout

I just want to shoutout a thanks to @simfileshare

I know you guys have been down for a few days and may be getting some heat because of it, so I just wanted to say THANK YOU.

Thank you for making a site for us to host our CC, for not limiting how much we can upload, for trying to make sure it runs fast and moving server when needed. I know it is a lot of work to run a site like that and so far nobody else has done something similar. I feel like people in the background never get enough credit so this is for you guys :)

Have a great Easter!

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
