Your Prettiest Freesite Creation Find: Round Two (Apparently)

[dstar]

FP is killing my finds list for today- 5 out of my ten TS3 finds are from FP- his pumpkin, nutcracker, column, deco car, and now real car. Two more cars 2008 Audi A4 http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=365426 and 2008 Jeep Commander http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=365361

SimsControl uses TSRW for clothes, which comes in Sims3Packs, as you all know.  I would love to have the Nazariopilar's clothes in my game, but her Sims3Pack files are not compressed. The elder shirts are 20MB, that's a bit much for me. She have some gorgeous tunics, but the S3P file is 24MB.

I am still trying to understand how to compress files in S3P's just so I can enjoy Nazariopilar's work.

Use Pescado's S3rc to compress everything you like, even *.packages files
Edit: here's the link http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15129.0.html
Read the thread to know how to use it.

Want your sim to buy a pink limo? (or any unbuyable car?) All the cars and fully unlocked and buyable here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=364790

Thanks House. I know that program and use it on all S3Ps, that's the only way I can install them. Doesn't reduce the package enough.

I love Adele's new floors for the sims 2

I heard that geneticized skins are bad (if you decide to pull them out after some time of playing with them), but if this is the result, I might forget about the warnings. I wanna alien burglars, and alien maids, and alien everything in my game!

This is actually possible without geneticized skins, I think. Somewhere out there there is a hack that allows your NPCs to spawn as Creatures. Like Zombie Maid. Not sure what exactly the hack entails - I'm still trying to find it - but I think it should be possible to have alien NPCs/Townies, and they of course will use the default alien skin. My default currently is FantasyRogue's green Canvas one, so that would be pretty awesome. Crap. Now I have to find that mod!

lewisb, I don't know of any other tools.

I have to warn casual users that it's true that genetized skins or eyes are extremelly bad! You can nevar remove them forevar!

Thank you for posting that! I hated that my pregnant sims weren't shower-proof. I don't go to sexysims very often, so it probably would've been another month until I noticed it there.

More work for you, dstar FP posted 2 more usable cars!

He is keeping my TS3 update section full. I can't wait to see these in action.

You can extract Sims3packs to package files and then compress the textures in S3PE. There's various tools to do the extracting from Jfade, Delphy etc.

I should go try it on those elder clothes and yeah I agree that files size is nuts.

Edit: Okay got the Elder Tunic file down from 22 MB to 1.5 MB  

Here it is if someone can't be arsed

But here's what I did. First I loaded it in JFade's 3Viewer tool. I 'installed' it but chose to install it on the desktop. It created a package file with a hashed up gibberish name which I renamed. Then I dragged the package file onto Pescado's s3rc.exe and voila 22 down to 1.5 and no launcher needed to install.

Oh and found this by randomly looking at the BBS (don't ask)

Windchimes for TS3:

http://simmingitup.org/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=504 (note: you do have the register for the forum to download but the registration is instantaneous and the download is free)




Apparently, patterns won't show on it but you can change the color.

Poly count is 1882 so not so bad.

Well I was wondering if the same file being compressed with S3rc would have a different compression rate if it's a sims3pack or a package. Since I only use packages for CC except for EA's store stuff I didn't care much to find it out myself lol. Thanks for the confirmation. 'Tis true that s3rc does wonder with packages, a while ago I compressed a mere top package which was 10mo to 250ko, Awesomeware is indeed awesome!

Arg yet another forum to subscribe! Damn I love windchimes so I'll just have one more log to add to my collection of one gazillion subscribes. Plus the size seems correct. (compared to the windchimes CC that was for sims 1 lol that thing was so damn huge) Great find Motoki. Edit: ROFL I was already subscribed to this one! ^^

You're welcome Snowflakes, I rarely go there myself too since there are barely new adds

I have followed your tips at MATY and they were successful, so I am thankful for this. I am afraid my brain can't figure these tools, but your tip above looks easy enough.

EDIT: I was so excited about learning something new, I forgot to post Heidi's conversion of my favorite Sims 2 set to Sims 3 @ Exotic Elements.

Somebody really needs to make a simple program to extract a sims3pack to package without some fancy pants installer asking you a bunch of questions. I know Delphy has his sims3pack installer thing so maybe try that one out.

Once you get it to a package it's super easy to compress, just drop it on the s3rc.exe file from Pescado's site and that's it.
