MissyHissy's Grotto Of Gifts

Welcome To MissyHissy's Grotto of Gifts; a little piece of the Sims 4 fanbase where it's Christmas every day! Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy the gifts. My Sims 4 gifts will always remain free - I don't make my content for money, I make it for fun. You'll never need to pay…

This couldn’t come at a better time. Thank you soooooo much @simshai91 for sharing, I’ve recently started reorganizing my store items and I was worried that I would have to go back in and get all the Thumbnails for them but you literally saved my life 🤗

PSA for anyone organising their TS3 CC: download Sims 3 Thumbnail Extractor!

I have just downloaded a tool that will save me so much time in my CC re-organisation. Honestly, this just had me staring at my screen and going “Seriously? Holy crap!”

It’s the Sims 3 Thumbnail Extractor by Killc*a at MTS. All you do is leave it at default settings, choose a folder to scan, wait for a few seconds, and it will extract all the THUMB and ICON resources (if both exist within a file, it will extract both) inside everything in that folder. It works on package files and Sims3pack files, and it does it in seconds. (You can also choose individual files if you don’t want everything in an entire folder extracted.)

Prior to this I had been going through each file one at a time, opening it in S3PE, finding the THUMB or ICON files, using the option to open them in Paint, hitting Save As > JPG, typing the first letter of the name and scrolling to find the correct name, hitting the End key to go to the end of the filename so I can backspace out the .package or .sims3pack bit– Well, you get the general idea. Lots of work for one image. All of that work now takes literally seconds with this thing.

The video above will show you just how quickly it works. That folder contains 1,397 package files by LunaSims. To go through them individually would have involved several hours of non-stop work. This program processed them in a couple of seconds.

It managed to do 1,354 out of those files, meaning that 43 of them don’t have THUMB or ICON files, but it’ll be easy to sort those out, load them into my game and take screenshots of them.

My only bugbear is that it saves the images as PNG files, but there are tons of file conversion programs out there that will convert those to JPGs so you can save a bit of space.

(Now all I need is a program that will take the hundreds of extracted package files from a Sims3pack lot [which have gibberish names] and delve inside their XML files to rename the file with the actual item name, so that I don’t have to!)

My First Time and I’m so EXCITED! 🤗

12 Days of Christmas!

I’m very excited I have the time and energy to do this, this year. Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I feel like it’s a nice way to give back to all of you for all the love and support throughout the years. I hope you’re as excited as I am!

how it works;

Basically, I will be releasing new content every single day for 12 days during the holidays. Starting December 25th, 2019 to January 5th, 2020.

As I said, this is all for you more than any other time. So keep in mind that submissions are opened as always and your ideas and suggestions are more than welcomed! =>submit your suggestions here<=

Happy Holidays!

Come share your knowledge or learn new things 🤗

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.

A short promotion of Nraas’ amazing Dresser mod, in case you’re not familiar with it already.

Download the Dresser mod from Nraas here: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Dresser

1) A quick way to remove ALL accessories from every person in town (for those times when you get frustrated seeing sparkly sunglasses and crowns and deer antlers on townies…. or in Aurora Skies where everyone annoyingly wears gloves with every outfit by default!) You can also do this on individual sims by clicking the sim instead of City Hall.

Click on City Hall –> Nraas –> Dresser –> Check Outfits –> Accessories –> Remove All

2) Apply settings for frequency of accessories and makeup, the ages and genders they’ll apply to, and number of total items applied (ie. only 2 accessories maximum for women, 1 for men)

Click on City Hall –> Nraas –> Dresser –> Check Outfits –> Accessories or Makeup

3) Auto switch out of sleepwear/naked/athletic outfits upon leaving the house and/or auto switch out of sleepwear to everyday when leaving the room

Click on City Hall –> Nraas –> Dresser –> Transition –> Switch On Outside or Switch Sleepwear on Room Change

—————————————————–

Some related CAS functionality in Nraas’ Master Controller Mod:

Download the Master Controller mod here: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/MasterController

Click on City Hall –> Nraas –> Master Controller –> Settings –> CAS –> 

allow adult clothes/accessories for teens and/or elders

multiple accessories per location (upper and lower earrings!)

multiple makeup per location (no need to sacrifice eyeliner for SClub’s beautiful eyelashes!)

show in compact form accessories/clothing/hats (this is a performance booster - it hides all alternate colors of items so you see three different items per row)

slider multiple (to exaggerate the effects of body and facial sliders)

blacklist (CTRL + right-click on an item in CAS to hide it going forward for that gender/age/clothing type… ie. heels which are misclassified for swimwear)

—————————————————–

Sidenote - Its possible to save settings for all your Nraas mods to reapply them quickly in other towns using his Overwatch mod. Click on City Hall –> Nraas –> Overwatch –> Immediate –> Export Settings

Look Forward To This Every Year 🥰 Best Part Of December ❤️

❄️December 1st -December 25th⛄️

Around the Sims 3 | Advent Calendar 2020: it’s starting!!!

Here we are again! The famous time of the Advent Calendar! :D So, you might already know how it works: every day, from the 1st to the 24th of December, you’ll find at Around the Sims 3 new objects to download. From your 1st  December, not from mine, so it might not be time yet for you now! ;) All the objects are available for 24 hours only, and then are replaced by a new download. No worries, though, all the objects are getting available again from the 25th of December (my 25th, but I shouldn’t be very busy with Christmas celebrations this year…) Something new, though: all the gifts can also be found, on Patreon, and there, they don’t disappear after 24 hours, so if you missed a day and don’t have the patience to wait till Christmas, you’ll find them there. :) Thank you for your support! <3

I hope you’ll enjoy the gifts (all based on Patreons’s suggestions) and that you’ll spend some happy times, even if the circumstances this year might be very special, depending on where you live.

Although I didn’t get to fully finish test this career because I had to reorganize my files for my game, It was still amazing from the levels I got to experience. I excited that everyone can now enjoy it too.

Environmental Scientist Career

I originally planned this for the April 2019 ‘Climate Change’ theme for the TS3 Creator’s Cave Discord channel’s Monthly CC Theme but unfortunately, I couldn’t get it …

Brand new Environmental Scientist Career! Contains 7 levels with 13 opportunities. Requires University.

Thank you to @desiree-uk and @nostalgiagamez for testing!
