I'm using this video as a guide on reinstallation, because i'm already lost and tired because it took me two days to regain sound after formatting the computer.

Misc Tech Stuff
I thought I'd share, I just followed this tutorial to try and keep an automatic Win 11 update from happening unless I want it to, since it kept threatening. Hopefully it works. I'm not the most tech savvy person so this might be a "well of course" situation for some, but I'm just out here doing my best :P
On the topic of programs, I had to do a fresh reinstall of the game and used a utility I remember seeing on this video by the always helpful @acottonsock, and it worked amazingly. It's called The Sims 3 GPU Add-on Support by alfa1295 on Nexus Mods. Now, NexusMods does require registration to download mods and whatnot, but I already had one because pretty much most Stardew Valley mods are there, and I don't just use mods for the Sims, ha.
Cannot recommend this enough though. It updated my GraphicsCards.sgr and GraphicsRules.sgr automatically, and saved old versions of both files. Yes, I did go through and check them to make sure it was done correctly it absolutey was. I think the only "usual" things I actually had to do manually for the reinstall was to change the cpu level numbers in GraphicsRules and limited FPS in my graphics card control panel.

InZOI and The LGBTQIA+ Community
Disclaimer: This is not an attack on anyone involved here, and I really hope nobody else attacks them. Madi was nothing but helpful, and I’m sure the creators of inZOI aren’t being deliberate here. A summary of this article is at the bottom of it.
Background
Sims 4 and Expression
The Sims 4 may not be the favourite game in a long-running franchise, but it’s clearly got one thing right; Gender Expression and Sexuality. Although the game was originally built on a binary system, you could marry same-sex couples, and now with a recent patch, you can express a diverse gender range. They are actively working on being inclusive, and that’s great!
The Competition
A long list of coming-up competitors to the Sims features Paralives, Life by You, and now inZOI. It jumped up very recently, yet it is planned to release in late 2024, although it seems near finished now. It looks, and I don’t say this lightly, amazing. The graphics are stunning. The gameplay seems fun. It is one of the best competitors in a long time. But, in their own trailers, one thing seemed missing.
LGBTQIA+ People and inZOI
The inZOI marketing campaign is HEAVY. It’s almost unavoidable. One user now has access to an early copy, acottonsock is their username on YouTube. Madi’s been making videos for 3 years, something surprisingly impressive. They are a unique breed of Sims YouTuber now, as they do not appear to make ANY Sims 4 content, instead focusing on 2 and 3. Sims 2 and 3 do allow same sex relationships, however they do not allow any diverse gender options. 
This is a bit of an odd choice in terms of inZOI’s marketing team as, although Madi is honestly a great creator, and I do actually plan on watching some of her non-inZOI content, they’re not the most popular Sims YouTuber. There are an expansive number, but I am being honest when I say that inZOI could’ve reached a much greater audience by catering to someone like Plumbella, Vixella, or lilsimsie, who definitely would’ve been down to do it. 
I must admit, I’m glad they didn’t choose one of them. InZOI has made a deliberate move here, and it has calculated risks and benefits. One of the benefits of choosing Madi is the mutual benefit. Madi gains more followers, and inZOI gets to showcase their game. 
I posed 2 questions in my email to Madi, “Can ZOIs engage in same-sex relationships, or any LGBTQIA+ relationships?” and “Can ZOIs be anything other than Cisgender Male and Females?”
Tumblr media
Madi responded openly and willingly, and I must admit that not watching the four hour livestream was partial bad journalism, but I didn’t have the time to do anything but a skim. This is wonderful, as Same-Sex Relationships appear to be receiving love in inZOI, but I fear that the gender expression beyond a binary system is sorely lacking, and unless they add it soon I don’t think they will ever be featured in inZOI.
Summary
InZOI is a notable competitor the Sims franchise, and it does feature same-sex relationships, but unfortunately the ability to have beyond the binary system of Gender is sorely lacking. I really hope that something can be done to combat this, before the games release in late 2024. I fear that if it's not, it will be too late.

Welcome to Riverview Reimagined - A complete overhaul/redo of Riverview as you know it!
" Riverview is a flourishing riverfront town with a diverse population nestled in the beautiful rolling countryside. The town was founded by the Harrington family some 200 years ago, and it has since grown significantly and begun to truly flourish, with a great sense of community. This is the ideal small, yet lively town to call home for a variety of reasons, including stunning panoramas from nearly every angle, a wide range of activities to do and sights to see, and interesting individuals to meet. Riverview is undoubtedly a remarkable town! "
WARNING:
The world may be laggy at times and take a while to load, depending on your computer specifications, but then again, The Sims 3 is a rather poorly optimised game.
Here are some general 'stats':
103 lots in total
55 residential lots (7 empty)
48 community lots
150 sims (including NPCs, role sims & animals)
30 households
This world has been PLAYTESTED by 5 other people, so no major issues should occur when playing this world, at least not any issues unheard of when generally playing this game.
REQUIRED:
ALL Expansion Packs
Tumblr media
RIVERVIEW (Free)
Since it is somehow not possible to include the bridges and distant terrain in the exported world, that metadata will not show up and you will need to download them and place them in your mods folder to appear in-game. Technically, these are not required, however, without them, parts of the town will not look very good. Luckily simsample on ModTheSims has our backs! Get them HERE
Scroll to the bottom of the page and download the following 2 files:
Bluefunk_Riverview_Bridges_InGame.package.zip
Bluefunk_Riverview_DistantTerrain_InGame.package.zip
Then, simply place them in your packages folder within your mods folder. If you do not have a mods folder, please refer to THIS easy tutorial.
They should show up in your game now.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
NRAAS MODS
NRAAS Mods are essential to a smooth, significantly less buggy game, as they assist in dealing with errors and things that cause performance issues in-game. - NRAAS Master Controller - NRAAS Overwatch - NRAAS Errortrap - NRAAS Register (optional) - NRAAS StoryProgression (optional)
HERE is a fantastic, in-depth explanation video of the NRAAS mods and what they do/how they work by the lovely acottonsock
FOR CAMPGROUND I could not find a way to place functional tents on the campground without them disappearing once the world was exported. There are a few workarounds, though.
1.) Simply type in the cheat "buydebug" and look for the tent/s that come with World Adventures. Purchase it for your sim, have them manually place it in their inventory, and from there you can place the tent/s on the campground for your sims to use. Alternatively, you can use the tents that come with Island Paradise, found in the miscellaneous part of the comfort section in buy mode. Do the same as instructed above and place the tent/s on the campground.
2.) Download this mod that enables the World Adventures tents from buydebug. In Edit Town, edit the campground and navigate to the community objects icon in build mode. From there, click on the infinity sign to load all community objects and rabbit holes. HERE you'll find the unlocked tents. Place them on the campground and they should be functional once you enter live mode.[I used the first option, "Tents as Community Objects"]
(NB!!! IF YOU INSTALL THIS MOD BEFORE LOADING THE WORLD, FUNCTIONAL TENTS WILL SHOW UP ON THE LOT.)
I'm really sad that I couldn't include the tents already, but I tried several different methods and none of them worked.
The world is populated, with 30 households in total, but there are plenty of houses available for purchase, as well as 7 empty lots.
CHANGES MADE TO THE WORLD ITSELF:
I manually replaced and added trees individually. It's a bit cluttered, but more lush, especially in the area around the campgrounds.
I manually replaced all the roads, intersections, and sidewalks. Credit goes to GrandeLlama
Added a small bay in the lake into which the river flows to add a campground with a pier.
Swapped the bridge near the campground with the green one found in Twinbrook.
Small changes and additions to some sidewalks.
Some lots were added and/or changed.
Some street addresses changed.
Other minor details.
~ I really wanted to add ghosts to the cemetery and some other lots, especially to add to the lore, but unfortunately it is not possible when exporting a world through CAW.
~ Most of the interior tips and tricks I used to make custom furniture/unique decor were my own, but for a few of them, the credit has to go to the wonderful and talented @theplumdot.
DISCLAIMERS/ISSUES:
~ I had several issues with the apartment lots but managed to fix most of them, except this one... The apartments are set to 'EP09 Apartments', which I accidentally set and even if I changed them to regular residential, they reverted back. This means roommates will appear after a while, but BEFORE you move your sims in, you can fix this by going into Edit Town, clicking on the lot, and changing it to 'Regular Lot'. If roommates still show up, you can cancel roommate services by clicking on your sim's phone and going to 'Real Estate and Travel Services'. Also, choosing where to move your sims in, two apartment lots in the central town area will be available for rent that is actually occupied and will add the existing sims as roommates. The only unoccupied apartment in town is the "Midview Apartments".
~ Some female sims have the weird two-tone blue and green lipstick from Into The Future for some outfits, mostly swimwear. I have no idea why this happened, but I tried multiple times to get rid of it but it keeps showing up again.
~ Pretty much all of the sims have gloves for their outerwear. I have this glitch where even if I remove them, they somehow show up again. Hey, Riverview gets cold in the winter!
~ The female butler, Arasha Shreshta's face goes all EA's "pudding face" when she is in her career outfit, but normal/the way I made her in her normal outfits. I have no why idea why this happens.
~ Some role NPCs might get stuck in the apartment buildings, but a simple reset should fix them. I've tried several workarounds to stop this from happening but to no avail. This tends to often occur in Bridgeport and would generate NRAAS "Unroutable Sim" popups.
~ Upon loading the world (no fly-in, unfortunately I'm not that technically inclined), you might notice the household thumbnails taking a while to load and pets showing up pitch black, it's just a simple graphical issue.
~ Most of the big houses are quite expensive, which I apologise for. I'm quite the perfectionist and detail is very important to me, which means it doesn't take much for my builds to become quite pricey.

Alternatively, you can fix this issue with the old version by installing the NRAAS SleepFreedom mod, although it does not apply to existing saves with the old version, unfortunately.
- (.sims3pack) SFS - (.world) SFS
MIRROR: - (.sims3pack) DRIVE - (.world) DRIVE
I hope you enjoy it! My amazing friend ShanFindsPixels made a world overview on his YouTube channel, please go show him some love!

4to3 Spa Day Freefall Water Wall Set Conversion *Requires WA*
I really liked these fountain from Sims 4 Spa Day. But since no one has converted them yet, so this is my first attempt at converting these kind of animated objects :D :D
Details & known issues (nothing major, just some info on what to look out for) on my modthesims page. !!Requires World Adventures!! Direct download links below:
The links below has been updated to Version 2: footprint fix. You now can place them perpendicular to a wall without using moveobjects. It is not necessary to update to this version if you are okay using moveobjects.
Small Freefall Water Wall v2: SFS | mediafire
Freefall Water Wall v2: SFS | mediafire
Deluxe Freefall Water Wall v2: SFS | mediafire

hii i love your blog it inspired me to play ts3 again!💘
i was wondering how you run isla paradiso so smooth. In my laptop (in every computer) is so laggy and i really love the world
Oh yay! I love ts3 too much! I'm not playing on a laptop (im killing my pc yall) so ymmv but I followed a lot of the steps and mods from @acottonsock's video on isla paradiso. the first time i played IP it lagged so bad i quite playing the game so this is the first time it's worked for me!
Right now What's in my Game (more listed in the tag/link) that i found helpful for IP:
simler90's Gameplay Core Mod (if you are using nraas Overwatch than the Nraas Overwatch Compatability File override found in step 4 IS A MUST!)
NRAAS: Master Controller with MC Integration, Overwatch, Errortrap + Saver
The Sims 3 Smooth Patch 1.2.1
Twoftmama Route Fix Flavor 3 v9
Reduce/Remove Lag caused by Houseboats (MUST HAVE FOR IP)
Isla Paradiso Fixed World by ellacharmed (MUST HAVE FOR IP)
if your 'game is still lagging there is a save out there that might help
and I can't live without this guide, its the ts3 bible as far as I'm concerned: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1131162350

As requested by someone on acottonsock's discord server I am uploading my Taylor Swift Legacy sim Rainey. I didn't create the challenge but someone on Simcord did so full credit to sugar. Also I was inspired by (am using their template) Johziii's sim download posts
Rainey is Over-Emotional, Loves the Outdoors, Virtuoso, Childish and Ambitions. Her LTW is to become a Rock Star.

DISCLAIMER!
You have to have her cc for her to look like her in the photo. Also, I am using the faerie gshade preset made by molly on simcord, I’ll link her gshade preset and the download for gshade in Rainey’s CC List

THE LINDASIMS2 RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTATION: PART ONE
No idea how to really make one of these posts. Most Sundays I'd wake up and post my own CC. But not this Sunday.
DISCLAIMER: This is not really a callout post. This is a warning to anyone who intends to download Lindasim's stuff. And a genuine one. I have nothing personal against Linda, this is only what I've found from my own deep dive into Linda's files. I have no proof that what I've found is stuff that Linda herself did, but the stuff does exist. And it's terrible.
WARNING: Some of these images contain racial slurs that may make you uncomfortable.
You can find the nails file I use for my 'research' post here. It's part of the reuploaded March 2021 set and from what I can see that entire set is a giant mess.
Credits go to @dystopianam and aga on @acottonsock's server for providing the links to the files I needed to inspect.
Continue to read if you really want to know what you download when you download Linda's files.
OPENING THE FILE
Obviously, step 1 to any research regarding Sims 2 CC is... opening the file. And at first glance, this may seem completely normal to a CC newbie. It's from 'Base cc #333', 'LS_ACC_TF_AF_nail_M1_4swatches', 'LS_ACC_AF_nail_1v290321_mesh'.
Tumblr media
I mean, it looks like any normal Sims 2 file, right? It's a mesh!
Until you open one of DeeDee's own accessory files.
Tumblr media
Yeah... notice how there's a TON of stuff that isn't present in the other two?
Now, at first, I gave this the benefit of the doubt. Maybe, I thought, this was just another sign of my lack of knowledge regarding Sims 2 CC. It's been awhile since I've done my own accessories. But let's move on to the next part of my research...
THE 3DID REFERENCING FILES
There are 57 3DID Referencing Files in this nails mesh files. And maybe I'm ignorant, but I'm pretty sure sims don't have 57 fingers.
Tumblr media
I didn't have time to actually see where they're pointing to... but... why the heck are they in a mesh file?
THE AGE DATA
This was what originally stood out to me the most. Why the heck is there AGE DATA in a nail accessory?
Tumblr media
THE BHAVS
In @dystopianam's post, they mentioned the game reading some of Linda's files as mods. Well, I found the reason why.
Tumblr media
There are... BHAVs? In a mesh file? For those who don't know, BHAVs literally alter the game's code or add new code. From what I can guess these BHAVs probably have something to do with the sim embedded in this file?
THE CATALOG DESCRIPTION
This was the icky part. And why I was hesitant to make this post.
Tumblr media
Yep, turns out that whoever made this file is a big fat racist. Also fatphobic. Also probably aware that catalog descriptions shouldn't be in accessory files. Most of the ones I've seen were for objects or... sims. But this one isn't.
THE GMDC AND ASSOCIATED MESH ELEMENTS
Okay, through all of this, I was under the impression that the GMDC, GMND, CRES, and SHPE would be the most boring elements to inspect. I... was wrong.
Tumblr media
Yep, the sim has a face. No clue what their name is but they are more present in this file than I expected.
THE JPG IMAGES
It's the hero you've all been waiting for... LIGHTNING MCQUEEN himself!!
Tumblr media
Yep, he's here too! He's real! And he doesn't just accompany hairs, I can tell you that much, because these are nails!
Apparently these were based on Bruno's files? (From MTS), since there's a Bruno JPG slipped in there.
THE MATERIAL DEFINITIONS
There are 38 random material definitions. IDK why they're here. They're just... vibing.
Tumblr media
THE OBJD (OBJECT DATA)
I was baffled to see this here. Why's there an object in here, I wondered. Until I realised the game sees this as a person. So, yep. That's the moment I realised there's an actual sim in here.
Tumblr media
There's a bit more stuff in this file (most notably the Texture Overlay XML) that wouldn't fit in this post because of the 10 images limit... but fun fact, our secret sim has grey eyes! Wow!
THE CONCLUSION
Phew, that was a rollercoaster!
I didn't dare actually loading the game with these files (mostly out of fear that secret sim will haunt my dreams forever...) but as you can see in this post, the reuploaded files from Linda are completely fucked. No way around it. These aren't nail files, they're probably nail files merged with a whole-ass sim.
I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject of sims or BHAVs, but this is what Part 1 of my research has yielded and it's made me pretty fucking terrified. How long have people been downloading this 'leaked' stuff only for it to corrupt their game? It makes me wonder how many neighborhoods were lost to 'corruption' that was actually reuploaded Lindasims2 files...
For now, if you have thought about sailing the seven seas to get Linda's Sims 2 CC, I would recommend reevaluating that idea. Unless you want your game to be destroyed like @dystiopianam's and several others.
aga was kind enough to link me to some pre-2020 files of Linda's and they seem OK (so far...) but I would also not recommend supporting Linda on Patreon until we have proof that these files weren't corrupted by her, but by whoever reuploaded them to SimFileShare.
Also, it's not just the mesh file that's corrupted, in case you thought that. Nope, the recolor files have also been given the hidden sim treatment.
I can't really get my thoughts straight right now and really wanted to make this post before I forgot or the hidden sims came to murder me in bed, but for now, cheerio. I'll be back with more 'what the heck is in these files' ASAP!

Everyone needs more clothes for elder Sims, especially men, so I decided to convert one of the best EA's meshes in my opinion for them and also made BGC adult version too. Many thanks to @nightospheresims for her Half Texture Half 3D meshes tutorial. @oddballik for fixing neck seam for me (I was having difficulty with milkshape) and @agnelid for some advices.
I also plan to do a big series of retextures (similar to what @mellosakicc does for ts4) and this t-shirt mesh I think is perfect for that purpose for men (for females I will use this one from @sweetdevil-sims). Hope You like it!

I uh...might have done a thing. 😮
Yesterday I went downloading for like 7 hours... I went through the poppet hairs tumblr all the way as far back until before v2 was made and opened tabs of every creator there was and downloaded 1000+ alpha hairs in poppet v2 textures/colors. Then today after weeding through and deleting anything I didn't actually like and/or duplicates I've ended up with 658 different hairstyles. 👍
Why did I do this? Well, three primary sources are to blame. 😆
how freakin hot acottonsock's ajay loner is (this is actually the catalyst)
keoni's gameplay pics
kayleigh-83's gameplay pics
But also I've always kinda wanted to try poppet hairs 🤔 in fact I did try this exact thing a few weeks ago but my download sample didn't convince me so I kept using clay. Then platasp released her defaults which tbh I feel a little bad about giving up on already but I've been losing interest in clay for a while now I think actually. the defaults gave them a bit more life but I'm not quite so sure atm.
Back in the day when I used more realistic cc my primary hair system was pooklet/io/digi etc but back then I also downloaded anything and everything. When I first switched to maxis match I started with NHS but at the time there wasn't enough styles in it for an addict like myself and I ended up switching to simgaroop. Then I switched to using only clay hairs in eaxis colors. But I've always kinda liked poppet's colors and wanted to give them a shot. I haven't downloaded any defaults yet (although I know rudhira and loosiap will have me set) because I just wanted to focus on custom to start.
I haven't yet put them in my main game so everyone in Strangetown still has their clay hairs atm (and obviously will for the rest of what's currently in my queue) but my plan is to make a backup of the hood and label it clay and then go in and give everyone new hairs and see how I feel. In the meantime, here's my fav cc model Ben with kewai-dou levi. It's the only hair I specifically searched for by name to make certain I had because it's been my favorite alpha hairstyle for years idk what it is about it but I needed to make sure I had it if nothing else.
Tumblr media
So yeah... I guess new cc hair aesthetic just in time for 2024? I'll still be keeping all 500+ clay hairs in a backup so I can answer any wcifs and obviously in case I've made a terrible mistake and wanna switch back 😂
