WCIF This World?

It’s a Sims 3 world that I played about 4 years ago and I sadly deleted the file. I think the name of the world is Stillwater? I do know that it was a world made by Sommarblomma and I do believe I found the world in one of forums in MTS. It was a beautiful world to play and was one of my faves… Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted it when I was cleaning my laptop…. :( if anyone has it or knows where to find it, then please let me know. It will be very much appreciated.

you would be doing us all a giant favour!!! just update us on how we can help

I’m doing a thing...

How many hours of your life do you think you’ve spent scouring the internet looking for CC / mods for Sims 3? I don’t even want to think about how much time I’ve spent doing that in all years that I’ve been playing…

Tumblr is great, don’t get me wrong… but when you’re looking for a specific type of CC, it can be…. well…. not fun. Tumblr is wonderful for following players and creators, but it’s not a CC search engine by any stretch of the imagination. Sure, you can hop from one “finds” account to another, but even that’s not efficient.

So I started thinking about this problem, and how it might be solved, and I kept thinking, “I wish there was a site where we could catalog and organize links to content all across the web.” Well hot damn… I’ve got an unlimited web hosting plan! When you see a need, fill it. So, I’m starting a Sims 3 CC & Mods link directory website. 

The basic premise is that links to CC & Mods (to the creator’s original post or site, if possible) from every corner of the web can be organized by categories and tags. This enables users to drill down to specific types of content that they’re looking for, or just search for keywords or browse the categories to see what’s out there. 

I think that’s a pretty cool idea and would be tremendously useful! And furthermore, the system I’m using enables users to submit links as well! Huzzah! I don’t have to do all of the work myself! 

Additionally, it would serve to drive traffic to creators’ sites and introduce new players to their content. Hell… I’ve been playing Sims 3 since it came out and there are still “old” creators that I’m just now discovering…

Anyway… apologies for the long-winded post. The idea is only a few days old and I’ve got the basics of the site put together, but I’m still working on refining the concept and putting the pieces in place, and I would WELCOME feedback and suggestions from y’all, and if anyone is interested in helping with the project, please feel free to contact me.

Clean UI 1/3 Beta Release!

It’s finally HERE!

So what is this you wonder? It is a first third of clean UI release, currently in beta testing phase. What does it include? Well, here’s the list: - Completed Game Intro Loading Screen (separate download) - Complete Main Menu - Complete Save Loading Screen - Complete Buy mode (without blueprints) - Complete Build mode (without blueprints) - Most of live mode in progress (without most of EP content) That’s 30% of it complete already. Here’s some images of it:

Issues with this build: - going into CAST in build/buy gets rid of half camera control background graphic - career tab days off are colored light blue and are thus barely readable These are two issues that don’t seem to be easily fixable but for final release I’ll try my best.

Now onto downloads!

- Clean UI Main download - HERE - Clean UI Game Loading Screen - HERE (no need to download if you already got it from here) - Clean UI compatible Gamefreak’s Loading Screen Overhaul - HERE (required if you use Gamefreak’s Loading Screen Overhaul!!!)

Some final words.

Thank you everyone who follows this project. I hope this is enough for now, there’s more to come later, but I will be taking a break from this project for a bit. Next module is CAS and edit town/tutorial/family management. All of my downloads have also been migrated to google drive, because drop box banned me for some reason. All links on this blog work once again. I also have a Ko-Fi page here that is open for donations. If you want and can please consider donating. Thank you once again.

Ephemera Fresh Skin

This is Ephemera’s Fresh skin default replacement remade as a non-default with seven tone ramps, the three natural tones from the base game plus four tones from Kurasoberina’s Primer skin. It is for all ages and both genders. The texture sizes are 1K except for the adult bodies, which are 2K. The tone ramps have custom thumbnails with blue text (seen below) and a matching blue preview dot, and they should group together in Create-A-Sim. Pictures of the body are here (NSFW). The screenshots are unedited apart from the background, and they were all taken in game. Furthermore, the sims use no sliders and are wearing no makeup, so what you see here should be what you see in your own game. :)

Download the skin HERE.

TS3 Skin Collection by Ephemera

Just saw a post regarding how to use pan baidu to download this skin collection which contains 32 skins by Ephemera. I have no idea that ppl are looking for ways to download from pan baidu or I’ll help out sooner. If anyone has difficulties to deal with Chinese content, just msg me. I’m glad to save you some trouble. 

Besides, there’s some risk to download any cc from baidu, so please make sure there’s no virus in the zip before you open it. Since the original creator allows re-directing links (the baidu link is not stable), I uploaded the zip on SFS instead. 

Ephemera‘s TOU: re-direct the link  O re-edit the cc X

Alternative SFS Download

Hi! I love your sims but can't seem to find them in the gallery. I've checked under vagabondaura and have include cc on. Are they still available?

Hello Anon,

As of current, most of my sims are not uploaded to the gallery, as answered previously. It is pretty simple to download them into your game!

Head to one of my sim dumps, (or whatever sim you are downloading) download, and drag the folder to your desktop. Unzip the folder, or double click if on Windows 12, and drag the 5 files (Tray Item File, HHI files, SGI Files, etc.) to your own personal tray folder.

If you want them to look exactly as pictured, open up the mods folder within my download, and drag each package file that you so desire to your own personal mods folder.

When I'm done with my most recent design project, I think I'm going to work on uploading most of my sims to the gallery, as numerously requested by you all.

Hope this helps!

May i ask wcif the reshade you use for the sims 3?

Hello frostedshore,

Huge fan of your creations for ts3 (hopefully my game can finally reopen someday)

I actually use GShade- and use the same presets I use in ts4, answered here

I also remember (when my game was properly working) using these presets for a few of my cas photos, which an be found here

Hope this helps!
