    Unpopular opinion but I love the blue UI. I think it looks nicer than any colour replacements

    Another mod that has become indispensable for me is Nraas Traveller. The ability to travel to other installed worlds the way you travel to vacation destinations and Sims University is a huge bonus. Plus I think it reduces the risk of corruption when you travel.

      @freethegays 2 місяці тому

      ​@@beesasa Your comment is kind of old now, but that is just because of the amount of data it adds to your save file to have multiple worlds loaded. Traveling using world adventures will also add a lot of data to your save. It's not a fault of the mod, its just how loading more worlds works.

    it's kinda a small fix, but Buzzler's scribbling pad is a piece of cc I highly recommend, because I like playing as a writer, but it's completely out of the question if your sim hates/doesn't want to use electronics. The scribbling pad works like a notebook that you can use the computer's writing interactions with

    Two of my favorites not mentioned are
    - Pregnancy Progress Controller by CmarNYC: lets you pause, speed up, or end pregnancy and choose how many babies you want. I mainly use it so I can see how long I've got until the baby comes and what we're having.
    - Retuned Attraction System by Fentonparkninja: Changes how the attraction system that came with Seasons works. I use the Easy Variety flavor.
    Also big fan of anyone who makes pregnancy compatible clothes. Seeing the same 3 outfits for every pregnancy in a legacy gets old real quick.

    • @Rekowcski
      @Rekowcski  2 роки тому +4

      I can practically replace the first mod with a master controller and a debug enabler, with MC you can stop and remove pregnancy, control the gender of the child and in twins. Debug enabler has the function of entering the time that has passed before contractions started and there you can see how much is left. Other functions of the debug enabler - you can clone things in sims' luggage, unlock the knowledge of a chemical potion, and prepare alchemical potions without ingredients. Additionally, it is used to decorate the building

    Thanks for this video I enjoyed it!
    The mods I have are:
    1. NRAAS - it’s been a year since I’ve had it and I feel so sad for players like me who never knew it existed! It changed my life so much.
    2. Cooking & Ingredient Overhaul - Adds more ingredients for making food because the base game ingredients are soooo limited.
    3. Autonomous Fun in the Sun - Makes townies and my sims autonomously do water related things when at the beach or pool more frequently. Very impressive
    4. Hot Beverages Add Energy Mod - Coffee and beverages need to give my sims energy lol
    5. Wedding for inactive mod - Can allow my inactives to get get a wedding at parties which NEVER happened before

    Rabbithole rugs - allow to create custom rabbit holes. For example you can delete the rabbithole restaurant and build a real restaurant. Your sim won't actually sit behind a table while dining, but you will at least be able to furnish it and see inside.

    Beside technical mods by Nraas I like having in my game default replacements by Alverdine sims. She made recolors for umbrellas, taxis, ice cream truck, beach towels and more. Now all sims in my game have elegant navy blue umbrellas, and taxis are in cadet blue color. Also there's mod for grid to be visible only on active floor while in buy mode. It's also by her.

    Literally use every single one of these mods so I agree with this mod list being everything! the only one I don't use is the gray UI I use like that modern one that's still being updated cuz I kind of like being jarringly thrown back into the old blue UI when I'm using create a Sim. (One of like the niche mods I use probably is advanced genetics module for nrass, I use a lot of sliders when I'm creating my Sims and I kind of push the Sims 3 to its boundaries if you know what I mean.

    • @Rekowcski
      @Rekowcski  2 роки тому +9

      I think a lot of these are what us hardcore players have grown accustomed to, but players rediscovering the older games sometimes find modding older games daunting and intimidating... I know I did
      I'm sorry I can't relate to enjoying that blue UI haha, but I do understand how certain things can be enjoyable when they are linked to a positive memory. All I remember from that UI is my university laptop melting and crashing when I try to recolour my counter top.

    I have a lot of gardening mods to expand on it since even in Sims 2, it's my favorite activity. And since Sims 3 expanded on that, I love it even more. And with the flowers from into the future, there's a lot of mods that let you use them for like potions and recipes which I think is really fun! (I've downloaded and carried them with me for a long time so I don't remember who they're by though.)

    At the moment my current laptop won't play the Sims3 , but at some point in the future I plan to return to it when I can replace my computer. (2-3 years probably) The Sims 4 is unplayable without mods and barely playable with them. I had no idea what a MOD even was when I was playing the Sims 3 years ago. I had never heard of them. Good to know that they exist so I can fix glitches etc when I get back to it.

      It's better to fix you cpu detection check in you documents you log file, if you game is rating you cpu less than 3 it's reducing the max number of sims, you can edit the graphical rules to force the game to rate you cpu as 3 this will allow the game to push the sims it wants it's better than to use a mod, cause the mode sometimes force sims to be on the dance club that should not be there for example sims that should be working or other stuff.

Is that only for the scenery or the "lighting" in-game from the lamp (because I actually got weird lighting in the ultra setting, like too bright/too sharp)?

Emails keep saying that they are "prioritizing" fixing it, but I am livid that I literally can't play a game that i paid for. I have wanted to return to the Sims3 for a long time. I will be trying in the next couple of days to re-install it. Maybe that graphics card and other efficiently mods (other video) will help get 3 to run on my laptop.
