SOLVED! Despite the error message saying it was something on EA’s end, it was on mine. The launcher has failed on EA’s end for the second day in a row. Have I received a single reply to the reports I made? No. Anyone else have service?

How can one create a mod? and also, a mod that needs to be made is one that allows your sim to get more than 3 different outfits per style when planning the outfit!!

Played the Sims 3 after 12 years and I feel a bit lost?? Anyone has any tips?

Upvotes

As kid I was obsessed with the Sims 3 and I wanted to go back for a while, so started playing the Sims 3 again after 12 years. It feels so nostalgic but I am a little bit lost...

I feel like I never truly connected to the Sims 4 like how I did with the Sims 3. When I play the Sims 4 it's basically 80% of the time decorating. I love decorating houses but I miss the open world and the game play. Sims 4 feels a bit flat storywise? But graphic wise it's so nice. There is so much cc, I can decorate and build houses easily.

But getting back to the Sims 3 now has me confused. I am used to the Sims 4 and cc by now and I am like how does everything work😂 I didn't even know how to rotate the camera. Decorating the houses is hard. There isn't even that much furniture. The sims aren't the prettiest. I love the open world so much but it's also a bit overwhelming? And I don't like how much time it takes to get somewhere. I also struggle a bit to get used to the graphics and the way the sims look.

I remember how much fun I had as kid but didn't really experience that fun yet. But maybe that needs time. I haven't done much yet. It was basically me being confused, met some Sims and explore a bit of the town.

I started playing in Island Paradiso cause I was obsessed with it as kid but I feel like that might not be the best choice?

I also cheated in money, I am to inpatient to start with nothing and having a very simple house😂 but maybe that takes away the fun? Cause I am like okay what do I need to do now? I have enough money anyway😂

Anyone feeling the same way? Does anyone have any tips? What could help me feeling a little bit less lost? Which world is fun? How to find story ideas?

(Also I am playing on mac which is a terrible idea I know, it has annoying bugs like not being able to be in the water, eyelashes being a black line 😐 I am saving up for a PC but for now I have to go with what I have. )

Question/Help Would you rather watch an island paradiso or Appaloosa plains let’s play?

4 Upvotes

I’m stuck between doing what the title suggests. A family in Island paradiso owning resorts, being lifeguards and scuba diving or should I do the ranch/farm life let’s play with competitive horse riding and lots of pets. What do y’all find more interesting to watch?

Sim Showcase Just finished reading Modelland by Tyra Banks and simply had to make the De La Creme family

318 Upvotes

If you don't know, Tyra Banks published a completely self written YA dystopian fantasy novel titled Modelland in 2011. The story follows a 15 year old girl named Tookie De La Creme and her experience attending the exclusive modeling school Modelland, which also serves as homebase of the autocratic ruler (the BellaDonna) of the world (Metopia) that Tookie and co reside in. I can't recommend this novel enough if you're even the slightest bit interested, and if reading isn't your thing Tyra also fully wrote and produced a song inspired by her insane work of fiction for your listening pleasure 🙂‍↕️

Slides go Tookie, her 13 year old sister Myrracle, their mother Creamy and their father Christopher/Chris-Creme-Crobat, a once super famous and nimble acrobat 🤸‍♀️

A friendly reminder that today is Quxxn Day 💛

For those of you who don’t know, TheQuxxn was a well known Sims 3 YouTuber during the game’s peak back then. She specialized in let’s play series, create a sim videos, store content reviews, stuff pack reviews, and showcasing her off-camera households.

Unfortunately she passed away on July 13, 2013 due to surgery complications and fans designated July 22nd as Quxxn Day.

She’s the reason I got into playing the sims 3 and her enthusiasm for the game made her videos so fun to watch. Back then I remember I’d listen to her videos in the background while playing lol.

Anyways I just wanted to take a moment to honor her memory. Please share your favorite Quxxn memory in the comments if you have one!

Hope you all have a super, fantastic, awesome, splendid, amazing day :)

A fire spontaneously spawned on the house while my sim was unclogging the toilet :/

**Things that caught fire:**

the newspaper that was on the table along with said table, the ground in front of the kitchen, a counter, the car, the mailbox, the garbage can and a coffee table that had two fish bowls with fishes in it

The fire was extinguished by the firefighters while I was constantly cancelling the "FIRE!!" interaction from my sim. He kept trying to get close to the fire just to scream

Now my sim caught a cold but at least Gayle and Brennan are okay (the fishes)

Only got $159 as compensation...

Legacy genetics

I’m doing a super lax 10 generations run where the child that gets the carry on the main line of the family is whatever one gets the imaginary friend in the mail as a baby. I’m on generation 4 at the moment so my sim has an imaginary father and an imaginary grandfather (human great grandfather since the original sim was an adult and couldn’t have an imaginary friend) and it occurred to me that by the end of the 10 generations my lead sim will be less human than imaginary friend

Sims aged up travelling to the future?

Upvotes

I’ve sent my household to oasis landing and two of my sims aged up while going through the time portal?

One from an adult to an elder and another from a teen to a young adult?

They were both nowhere near their birthday.

Is this normal?
