MissPat mod notes:

Why this mod

We were chatting on Discord about cute features from TS4 Toddler Stuff Pack, that we wish existed in TS3. “Play dates” came to mind. Renlyna surprised us all when she said:

Quote: I did have a townie mother once call my active household’s mother up and ask if her kids could come over for a play date and I clicked yes and within a few minutes the townie mother came to my sims home with all her kids. I didn’t even know that was possible in The sims 3 and I have no idea how it was triggered. It was so random.

The above scenario never ever happened in my game. (It turns out it’s a feature that came along one of the Generations EP patches.)

I was curious to see if something could be tweaked to trigger the play dates more. When I looked up the game’s code, I found the tuning file related to play dates. I made changes and tested the new tuning files for 3 sim weeks. The testing was successful, so here goes - enjoy the mod.

I tuned the minimum relationship down to “5” to account for the natural relationship decrease between two sims over time. So if your active parent and child start as aquaintances to townies at “20”, then overtime, they will still get the playdate requests on week-ends, even if the relationship is way down to “5”.

Play dates Insights

While testing the mod I could gather the following insights:

The play date feature seems to only affect child-aged sims. I looked up closely and no toddlers are mentioned in the play dates code. If the townie parent comes along with toddlers to your sims’ play date, great! But it is not by design. It would likely require script modding to intentionally include toddlers in the play date scenario.

If after accepting the play date, the townie parent shows up alone sans his/her children, do not panic (like I did)! Townie children enrolled in a school with week-end hours will not show up. Indeed, the custom schools provided by the “Schools” module of Nraas Careers require kids to attend classes on Saturday and Sunday by default. You will need to enroll townie children in EA’s default school or tune the days of custom schools, to get these townie children to show up at your play dates.

I had no problems getting townies to request play dates on Saturday, often in the morning. To trigger play date requests on Sundays however, I had to quit the game on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. When I’d restart the game after that, I’d systematically get a play date request on the Sunday afternoon. In the play dates code, there is a line called “clear statistics”, and I can only assume that somehow, it takes reloading the game to clear data generated by the Saturday play date, so that a townie play date request can be renewed on Sunday.

Hey guys! Long time, no see! How’re you? I hope you all are fine!

I took a break a couple of months ago, since I changed a bit. I was in a writer vibe, and sims wasn’t even being one of my hobbies for awhile, so I stopped everything related to it. But now, I’m thinking to come back and I wanted to do this contest, since I’m also going to start posting stories in English too in my Wattpad! Write is a good hobby for me, I found myself on it, and soon I will be posting my 1st original story on Wattpad! I’m hosting it not only for followers or anything, but I want to own a new public for new stories I will be posting soon! So, I would love if you all can enter on it!

The contest!

It’s a contest with 5+ items + 15 poses! The amount of winners will be by the number of followers: for every 10 followers (here and in Wattpad) it will be one winner. 

The prizes! 15 poses - 5 couple, 5 family, 5 randomly. Two Strollers: Stokke Xplory + Mima Xari (both full version w/ bassinet and seat!) (Preview: x, x) Unicorn party set. (Preview: x, x, x) Monte Design Ninna-Nanna  (Preview x) 4Moms Mamaroo. (Preview x)

How to enter! You must be following my tumblr account and my wattpad account. Reblog this post! (+1 chance to winner for every reblog, but the max. is 3 reblogs per account).

Other informations: No giveaway blogs, pls! Sims 4 accounts can participate, specially if you know how to convert from S3 to S4 (if not, we can talk and see a solution!) The constest ends at November 20, so I can have time to set everything. Any other information, feel free to contact me via inbox.

Good luck for everyone!!! <3

I am gonna copy this thread right here if you’re ever thinking of going back into Sims 3 because this is the first time one of those “Reduce Lag” tutorials has really really worked for me!

SPAM WEEK SCHEDULE 

(10/21/19) - (10/27/19)

Its starting to be holiday season and I’m so excited. I thought the most PERFECT way to start off the holidays is to do another Spam Week for Fall (which happens to be my favorite season). Unfortunately, it’s always summer in Texas. So fall? We don’t know her.

Tutorial - Hiding objects from the Build/Buy catalog - A slightly faster method for CCMagic users.

AKA Declutter your Misc Decor section!

So, I found tutorials on how to hide things from the catalog that requires manually opening and editing each package using s3pe, but I’ve found a somewhat faster way to do this, whilst keeping the original file unchanged, that I haven’t seen anyone else mention, so thought I’d share (I mean, someone else has almost certainly worked this out before me but I couldn’t find it anywhere). This requires CCMagic, and an understanding of how to make collections using CCMagic (very straightforward), and s3pe. Doing this will mean you can find all the items in collections, but they won’t be clogging up your catalog, eg Misc Decor (I had to do this as my Misc Decor had become so full, it often crashed my game when loading haha).

(This is also possible if you manually merge your CC, but you will have to add them to collections however you do that without CCMagic, I assume in game.)

Now, this is still a rather tedious process, and goddamn if someone could just create a program to do this for us I would die of gratefulness lol. But anyway, it’s still faster than the other method. And hey, maybe this will help someone 😊:

Just started using S-Club’s lashes and I stumbled on this little fix, so excited. 

S-Club’s 3-D eyelashes look awesome, except when you have a hairstyle that overlaps them and they bleed through the mesh. My fix corrects this issue by changing the layering priority of the lashes in each texture’s CASP.

You will still need S-Club’s eyelash meshes and designs, found here. I only altered the CASP resources, so to use this mod either A) delete S-Club’s original eyelash packages (but ONLY the ones with the word “casp” in the title) and replace them with my fixes or B) place my fixes in your overrides folder. I decided to keep the name of each package essentially the same so you can easily tell which packages to swap out and which ones to keep. Furthermore, I only fixed both design set 3A and design set 3B. I don’t use the earlier sets in my game, so I don’t know if they have the same issue, but I can correct the layering on those too if anyone wants them. I went ahead and fixed design sets 1 and 2 as well. You can read more and download them here.

I hope that wasn’t too confusing, but if you need any more help please let me know! Also, if you’re still not sure what this does, click the pictures to enlarge the images and check out the sim’s left eye. It’s kind of hard to see on these smaller screenshots, but the clipping drives me crazy! XD
