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!
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.
So true 🥰
“This is what happens when you read a book. You aren’t just reading it, you become a part of the book.”
Amazing Build 🥰 I love that it has so much to do, my sims new date night spot 🤩
Thank You For My First Ever Dedication, I Really Appreciate It 😘
Dedicating this build to @unwrittensims, really enjoy our geeky chats. Started this from last year when I had the Borourghsburg build bug 😛 but I paused when I heard the world was being expanded and opted to help with that instead. Now that the final version of the world is out, I can finally share this with you all!
The world creator @potato-ballad-sims doesn’t have the Showtime Expansion installed so none of the featured items were placed in the world such as the stage to host singers, magicians & acrobats. So I bring to you a full live show venue fit for concerts, VIP meet & greets, plus watch the latest blockbuster & indie films on the big screen!
Details and download below.

Make yourself here and tag other people! Thank you so much @simshai91 for tagging me, this was so much fun to create. This is also my first challenge tag so I’m over the moon right now 🤗
Don’t really know much people on here but I tag @missy-hissy @rollo-rolls and @aurorasimsworld plus anyone else who wants to do it feel free - or not 8D
YouTube, Hulu, reading and of course play the Sims3 keeps me going. Hope everyone is staying safe ❤️
Thank you for this! Saw it on YouTube a few months back and thought that if everyone used this method then I would be motivate to download many simmer’s amazing sims, especially those who upload create a sim videos with a link to download 🥰
The issue with sending a .package is:
1) You do not know what CC is attached, it may be CC that you are not allowed to share!
2) The person may already have that CC so you are giving them unnecessary extra CC, slowing down their game
3) It includes the sliders, which causes that weird chin or eyelid glitch in game as the sliders clash
4) It can cause issues with exporting sims, leading to it failing to export
Really advise not to do this but to use the method in this video instead!! It is quick and easy :)
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!

SOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!
That’s all good and more power to ya…but…WHY DO YOU DELETE ALL YOUR SIMS 3 DOWNLOADS?!?!?! PEOPLE STILL WANT/NEED THEM!!!!!!!
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
Because a few people asked if I could share some of the artwork from my post…

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.
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.
Download S-Club Eyelashes Design 3A CASP Fix HERE.
Download S-Club Eyelashes Design 3B CASP Fix 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

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

CC Shutters Included with homes but not 100% necessary: http://www.modthesims.info/d/527775…ght-pieces.html Hi again, Friends! It’s been over a year since I have uploaded anything Sims 3 related. I haven’t played as much in Sims 3 since I finished my main sims story in 2016. Lately, however, I decided to restart my main sims’ story again, so I needed to build a neighborhood for all of them! These homes were built specifically for Subalpine Blvd. in Hidden Springs, (right next to the school), but can be placed anywhere and in any town. I consider them to be legacy homes because they are built for specific sims in my story, and they will continue to live in these homes as they age (this is why they have a Surname attached instead of just a number or something similar.) I decorated each house in the style of each family living there by going into some of my previous Sims 3 houses and bringing the furniture over to the new houses! It actually took a lot more time than I imagined, but I really like how they turned out. I hope you do, too. Two of the houses was inspired by a house I already built for Sims 3 years ago, (and I also built them in Sims 4 as well a while ago), Two houses were inspired by houses I built in Sims 4 this year, and have now brought them into Sims 3, and one house was inspired directly by my Sims 4 Wisteria Lane series, although the exterior is different, as is the interior furnishings. This very well might be my last upload for The Sims 3, too. It’s been a fun ride. I know I kind of went “bare bones” with the photos this time. I just didn’t feel like taking hours to get them all finished. You can see exterior and overhead views through, which is most important. ALL HOUSES USE SUPERNATURAL WINDOWS AND FENCING. Please keep this in mind when downloading. Houses have been Custard Cleaned.

THIS IS MY SHOWWWWWWWW! First one I watched from the Chicago Series. Everyone NEEDS to watch this show along with Chicago Fire and Chicago Med 😃🤗❤️ Number 1 Fav character Along side Adam 🥰
Jesse Lee Soffer stars as Jay Halstead, a brash young detective in the NBC drama Chicago PD. Soffer’s acting career began at age 6 when he landed a Kix cereal commercial. At age 8, Soffer made his feature-film debut opposite John Goodman and Cathy Moriarty in Matinee. He also starred in the family drama Safe Passage, and as Bobby in both The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel. On the television front, he was on the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen ABC sitcom Two of a Kind, the CBS serial Guiding Light, and the daytime drama As the World Turns, a role that earned him three consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series, as well as a Soap Opera Digest Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Lead Actor. Soffer also appeared in the film In Time, as well as in guest roles in CSI: Miami,The Mentalist and Rizzoli & Isles. We got the chance to ask him some questions about his life and career. Check it out:
Yes, definitely. But mostly is was spending time with Brian Luce our technical advisor when we started the show and him sending us on a couple ride alongs. He’s still with us day in and day out and he’s essentially the heartbeat of the show. You can feel him everywhere from the cops that are on set to even specific character choices that we make every day.
I’d talk to Jay and tell him to stop being an idiot and getting his boundaries mixed up and start listening to Voight more.
I have been enjoying seeing Voight and Jay trust each other a little more. I know that there’s riffs sometimes and they butt heads but the two respect each other and they’re definitely growing and have a mutual respect more and more because of it and that’s been a fun storyline to see play out.
Probably Season 1, I still have all the photos and video of accidentally kicking Patty in the nuts. He was suppose to be wearing a cup, it malfunctioned, we were gonna do it as a joke, and it went horribly awry.
Anytime we’re on set on location and it’s winter, everybody piles into Halstead’s truck to stay warm in between setups and usually hilarity ensues.
I remember watching the Terminator movies way too young as a kid and I’m sure that played a part in me liking the action genre.
I’d love to take a political science class from Susan Rice, or someone like that.
Coffee. Block scenes. Eat snacks. More coffee. Shoot scenes. Putt. Shoot scenes. Putt. Shoot scenes. Get hangry. Shoot scenes. Eat lunch. Shoot more scenes. Putt. Shoot more scenes. I have a putting matt in the bullpen to work on my short game.
Who you are: I don’t know! You can’t fit me in a bubble.
What I value the most: Friends and family.
Food Item: Thanksgiving Dinner

I’ve had this in my game from the time Missy released it on her website and they are an amazing addition for game play 🤗
MissyHissy Mod notes:
I love my independent teens. They always want to get a job and pay for things themselves but I hate the thought of them struggling to catch up with their homework late at night.
So I did something about it. I created 12 Saturday Jobs for your teenage sims! These do not override any teen careers. There is also a bonus Community Service ‘job’ for your juvenile delinquents.
For these jobs to show up in game, you will need the Nraas Careers Mod.
These jobs were made with Patch 1.69 and are all in English and support translations in German and Russian.
If you’re interested in translating this career, there are instructions at the bottom of the page.
Most of the jobs are base game compatible, however a few do rely on expansions. I give details on each career below.
There are uniforms for each of the jobs. You can edit career outfits with Patch 1.31 and above, so I highly suggest using this feature to give your Sims a uniform of your own choosing.
There are no opportunities. These are considered Part-Time jobs and cannot have opportunities.
The Jobs
The jobs include:
Babysitting
Bartender
Hotel Attendant
Lifeguard
Modelling
Pharmacy Assistant
Retail Assistant
Stablehand
Theatre Attendant
Tutor
Veterinary Assistant
Waiter/Waitress
*Plus Bonus Community Service*

The finally has been released. Here’s the link to the thread at MTS.
I’m compiling everything now, and I’ll update how it’s going and if it makes gameplay any smoother. 🤞
