  • I'm going to add you guys, my username is Lilinss :)
  • I just saw this and finally coped Supernatural and Island Paradise, thank you! :D Now the only mising EPs in my collection are Showtime, Pets & Into The Future, which...I don't really care for tbh so I'm good
  • And now SN & IP are tied :D @izecson What do you mean by "granular"?
  • @Nikkei_Simmer Haha I feel you. But I do think there are some EPs and SPs I'll just never get lol An easy example is Pets because I just don't like them IRL and in-game so there's no point. As for SPs I already own all the ones I find interesting but I might be tempted to buy more in the future, that's for sure. Regarding…
  • @KNORear I LOVE gardening. I'm currently playing my legacy family and all of them always max out the gardening skill before they die. So that's definitely good to know. Regarding IP, do you guys have worlds that include its features and are actually playable? I've seen some but they usually include EPs I don't have…
  • Seems like it's between SN and IP, I might just go ahead and get both lol
  • Thank you for your replies! @berginon thanks for the breakdown, that helped a lot!* From what you said Pets is def out of the question lol * Seems like with ITF, it would be nice to visit each state like once but knowing me, I'd get bored very easily. I love modern furniture though, High End is my absolute fave SP and…
  • Thank you all for your answers! I had put them in my Mods folder and I never realized until now that I couldn't find them anywhere lol @skybaker @GraceyManor Originally they were .sims3pack files that I converted into .package because I hate the installation process via the launcher and it's way harder to remove completely…
  • Install .package files with the launcher? Isn't the launcher only for .sims3pack files?
  • Oh thank you @JACKIEJOY ! EPs : WA, LN, Generations, Ambitions, Seasons, University Life SPs : High End Loft, Master Suite, Outdoor Living, Town Life Size : Never really thought about but I guess at least 30x30? I usually see it in terms of rooms, I need at least 3-4 bedrooms, a backyard with space for gardening + a little…
  • Thank you all for the recs!! @GraceyManor I can't seem to be able to find where it's specified which EPs / SPs were used on the DNA website?
  • I'm not a huge fan either to be honest. Plus, it's super hard to get to Lvl 10. My sim was literally writing all the time, so much as that I would get that "going insane from staying inside" mood pretty often and she still didn't reach Lvl 10 before she died :| But it is true that's it's a pretty good way to get rich.
  • Ah that makes sense. I'm guessing it will just take more time since the Celebrity requirement will be in the "red"?
  • I would say no since a certain Celebrity level is required to advance. My female sim is currently in the Actor branch, lvl 9 and I need 5 stars for Lvl 10. But since it's always been enabled for me, I'm not 100% sure. As for the Celebrity system being too easy, I downloaded a mod that makes it harder, you can even choose…
  • Oh I never even thought about that, thanks for the tip @Karritz I'll try copy-pasting my Sims 3 folder somewhere else as it is. Then install the world, play for a while to see if it's manageable without the missing EPs. If it is then great. If it isn't then I'll just revert back to the Sims 3 folder I backed up. That…
  • That's good to know! I guess I'd have to actually install the world to see what would be missing/replaced, since it's never specified in what capacity each EP is used. But I'm weary of installing sims3pack because I know they are a pain to get completely out of your game. The only sims3pack files I have are houses (4-5…
  • Same, especially with worlds and houses. I have seen so many beautiful ones that I can't download because I'm missing a couple of EPs (EPs I'm just not interested in), which sucks :( Storybrook County for example, and most of the modern houses :( For houses, most of them also have CC and I usually don't feel like adding…
  • Super important because I did not know about this when I bought a bunch for SPs during a Steam sale. I ended up having to buy the base game as well, thank god it was a pretty big sale so the base game + the SPs was still less than the SP's combined full price :D
  • I def recommend getting High End Loft stuff next @Sleepstar , that's the first SP I bought and 4-5 SPs later it's still the one I use the most!
  • Definitely yes. Although Photography isn't my cup of tea either, I absolutely love nectar making; It's super fun and a relatively easy way to make money (over generations if your lifespan isn't that long, like mine). Of course, the destinations are beautiful and I love the exploring. Although I'm guessing fun is over once…
  • Reading all your posts I wish I could remember with such detail how I started with the sims :# But I only remember getting and playing TS2 at some point, I remember LOVING Apartment Life and Open for Business, loathing the never-ending loading screens until it eventually broke and stopped working. Then I moved to TS3…
  • I usually play with just one (female) sim and it's only way later that I have her get married, have children (usually just one), and only to have a next generation when said sim dies. I started a new game a few weeks ago and I'm currently on the second gen. My female sim got her Fine Art degree and she's close to getting…
  • I have 6 EPs out of 11 : World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Seasons & University Life. I have no interest in the other EPs, except maybe Island Paradise but I'm afraid it might break my game so I'm not taking any chances lol As for SPs, I only bought the ones that would enhance my gameplay : High end…
  • Just a random pic of my sim because I thought she looked pretty
  • Aaaanddd it’s gone, she now has a Naughty reputation :D
  • My sim, who is currently in University and has a boyfriend back home in Brooklyn Heights got a « Faithful » moodlet (from a Pure reputation) after making out with 2 different sims at 2 different parties :#
  • Thank you for the rec @Aaeiyn, I had never heard of the mod before, will def be downloading it!
  • It was occasionally rising above 100 fps and staying there. Which is why I downloaded RTSS as per @igazor post above and now it's always under 60 so thank you!
  • No worries @igazor ! I tested in-game today and it did lower the rate but it still goes in the 100 sometimes. I'll try out the 2nd trick and let you guys know!
  • Thank you so much for this @igazor ! So I've been trying to find the options you mentioned in the AMD control panel : - Vertical refresh : is it this one higlighted in yellow? - Triple buffering : I found it just below in "Advanced"
