Hi yall. I just did some quick calculations treating each sim day as the equivalent of three months. I defined the child/teen boundary at 12 and the teen/young adult at 19 because I like the teen stage, and I set the minimum lifespan of elders at 75 years.

This gave me 4 days in the baby stage, 16 in toddler, 28 for child and teen, 84 for young adult, 100 for adult, and 40 for elder. A total of 300 days. If I change it so each day in an adult life stage is the equivalent of 4 months, I have only 244 days instead. Currently I'm torn, because 300 days sounds like a lot but I really liked keeping it mostly proportional. What do y'all think? Does anyone have other customized age spans they'd like to share?

Is there a way I can send an email to the Nraas staff about one of their mods?

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. )

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?

I just use simler90 core mode instead.

(not pic by me) everytime i walk pass physalis plants it remind me of flame fruit

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?

i just moved my legacy family to a new town, mostly to get rid of stuttering (rip legacy island 3, you were good to me for 5 generations). i added a few lots, got them set up in their new home... now what?! how are we meeting the new sims? any fun lot recommendations? i'm considering avoiding premade sims+families entirely and making my own and furnishing their homes, but i think my nraas settings are still out of sorts because there's a lot of moving and shuffling just in the first few days.

I tried to build a resort inspired by the luckee star motel in another game called vampire the masquerade bloodlines. I'm playing in midnight hollow and the atmosphere is always dark and gloomy...

I was looking at the Sims relationship panel, and I just saw a sim with some WILD hair. Not sure what caused it, but it made me chuckle lol

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!!

I’m in the process of trying to collect all limited edition packs. Pets and season are currently what I’m on the hunt for .

I'm looking for a proper royal uniform and I found some but sadly only for sims 4, but not sims 3. is there anyone who can convert these?? I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one interested. thanks in advance

Playing sims Rn and suddenly I got a notification where one of the townies said "The woman said her daughter had died 20 years ago" while my sim was chatting with the townie.

What the actual hell is this notification. It creeped the shit out of me

Made the common urinal even sadder

I used to use shader tweaks to fix the bugs left by EA related to things such as the nudity blur being almost black, the dogs and cats having a black dot in their eye and body hair looking like a smeared something when they were outdoors on higher sim settings.

its a few years old now and hasn’t been updated and I don’t see it talked about a lot, but is it still the way to do solve these bugs?

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

didn’t know sims of a cheating spouse could tell the mistress. 😭 sounds so sassy too. “OTHER… relationship.”

I have been trying inzoi and I m not sure if I should invest any more time on it, I just have alot of fun memories from sims 3 from 2016-2021 that makes me wanna try it again

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?
