  • I'm so glad the Sims 3 community is still active! I've been playing this game since 2009 and I still manage to learn a lot! Thanks a lot for your last two videos! They are really nice to listen to, the editing is great and I can't wait to see the next ones (if there are any planned) Oh and by the way, can I ask you if you have the reference of the loading screen that we can see at 0:14? It's beautiful :)

    • Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoy my content :) The loading screen is my own, I modified an existing mod. You can find the link on my Twitter, just search for “loading screen”. But it was never meant to be published, so it might not work for you the way it works for me.

  • some of these secrets made my jaw drop. i've been playing sims 3 since the day the base game released all the way back in 2009 and i had no idea about some of these. the low foundation one in particular is going to be a game changer, i've been using platforms as low platforms for YEARS! and the disabling object fade cheat is so great, i've always hated how some things disappear on me when i get too close! thank you for this video

  • Still playing the sims 3 upto this day. I am almost 27 and i grew up with the sims 2 at first and when the sims 3 came out i was skeptic. Later on i had a stupid moment and got sold all of my sims 2 (i needed money). Nowadays i am soooo sad i sold all of those 😭 i am seeint so many videos of features and facts i never knew about as a kid!

    • 4 years after the release of the sims 4, k stopped playing it and switched to the sims 3. Ts4 was the first sims game when I finally had a laptop that could handle sims games (my first computer i got in 2011 and it was a laptop because those you can take with you when you travel and can study on them) it was a year or two after ts4 release and I struggled choosing between ts3 and ts4 but I picked ts4. I regret every coin spent on this game. It has its pro's (mods easy to manage, CC examining programmes, easier building) but those are not worth the cons, heavily overpriced (not as much as the store but...) and its kind of reperetive compared to ts3, also lacks some fun features (they try to bring back them from time to time, like they did with rabbit hole cinema)

And also still use the mouse in no-interface view without Tab. The number of things given to a Sim, changing edge colors and rotating camera on Tab was a wow to me :O

  • About the foundation trick, there is a similar trick that would let you raise the terrain at a desired height relative to wall height. If you raise the terrain between two rooms, you can use the flatten tool on the roof level of the rooms and the terrain will be at wall height, minus the height of an alt-placed foundation or platform. From there, you can change the height of the terrain by placing stairs. Holding shift and dragging when placing stairs on terrain let you choose how shallow or steep the steps is. Also, holding alt while placing stairs let you place 1 single step. Bonus for CAW users: Do you know that you can use the flatten tool to match the terrain height of a lot to your world?

  • Im actually new to the pc version of the sims 3, i got it for my 18th birthday along with seasons, supernatural,university, and into the future off of steam which means sadly i dont have the quantum suit that you get from the limited edition version of into the future that you get from the retail version (disc) but its good to know several of these tips and tricks because i use to play the wii version of the sims 3. The one where you can actually controll the sim with the wii nunchuk which was epic but then i got sims 4 for free after it became free on steam which is very different from 3 because 1 TS4 has no open world which sucks 2 unlike 3 you have actual moods which is very confusing half of the damn time.

Also my freaking screen is to stretched. i disabled the full screen thing in option but then it looks normal and sharp but its to small. i played with all the available options there but its just not right. it doesnt look like yours. like, normal, you know what i mean. mine is streched, it looks unrealistic and details look slightly blurry because of it. its not clear like yous, it looks like im playing something from 20 years ago. im on acer nitro 5 laptop.
