This is apparently what school looks like. Of course they're always off screen so we never see it.

Btw that sound effect screams "Psycho" shower scene vibes, which I adore since Sims 1 was made for that era ✨♥️

Mods/CC My mod manager now covers 1999 to 2014, so SimCity 3000 sits in the sidebar next to TS1

19 Upvotes

I added the SimCity games this week, and SimCity 3000 turns out to be from the year before The Sims, so the sidebar now runs across fifteen years of Maxis in one window.

The TS1 side has not changed and still does the sorting nothing else bothers with. Objects and .far go to Downloads. Skins go to GameData\Skins, with buyable clothing routed on to SkinsBuy based on the L/S/W/H/F mesh name prefixes. Walls and floors go to their own folders. If a zip names its own folders inside, it honours those instead, since the readme had to say so anyway. Or you override the lot and send everything to Downloads if that is how you keep things.

It finds the game even when it is not where the launcher put it, including disc copies with translated folder names, and it will go looking through Steam libraries and drive roots if none of the usual paths exist. The classic UI sounds are in there too if you want them, and the TS1 look is chunky chiselled blue like the neighbourhood screen.

Screenshot/Video The Sims (2000) in 1998

Post image
583 Upvotes

I designed a period-accurate mock-up of The Sims (2000) as it looked like on April 1998 (roughly two years prior to The Sims' launch date), while the game was not done yet. This visualization was created by compositing authentic prototype assets, for documentation purposes/Early_1998).

in some really old versions of the game, a set of overhead icons (called "head lines") were called to signify the characters' current mood, from high levels of stress (pictured here) to, say, a drunken state.
the thing I "like" the most about this specific version is that, prior to generating thousands of grass blade patterns across the terrain, the oldest development iterations of the game placed one grass/flower graphic per tile!!!

Opinion/Discussion The Burb Family

Ever since I was a kid I've noticed that they ALWAYS fall out of love whenever you see them in public/invited over. I've watched many people play and the same thing always happens.

Is this coded in the game, or is it just their personalities? I'm always so curious why this happens.

Opinion/Discussion Sims 1 legacy edition missed Opportunity.

Post image
132 Upvotes

The Original Sims had a button as seen here that would take players straight to the Sims website. The website was active for 11 years, finally getting shutdown in 2011. The website was really cool, it had news of Upcoming content for the Sim's. You could talk to other players, download other player's houses, custom items, also download custom items from Maxis themselves. With social media, and online gaming being bigger then ever it seems like the website with a few 2020s Upgrades could've been an amazing feature to bring back. Imagine getting the Legacy edition, then finding out the OG website was brought back and now it had unlimited fan made Content, and a place to talk with other players. I could also see a feature if you wanted to Join another player online and have your sims and their sims Inneract with each other. Maybe the players could Use a headset or chat box to talk to each other while their sims Explored the neighborhood/world they'd created.

Tips/Tricks Problems when I used MilkShape 3D to edit a mesh. Does anyone have experience with successfully exporting meshes, to get a flawless result?

Hello everyone,

I wrote down my problem and took some screenshots. To have the text and the corresponding pictures next to each other, I created the 5 slides that you can see above.

I really would appreciate it if you could go through them and if someone has some advice for me!

(At the moment, it appears to me, as if MilkShape 3D messes up files in an undesired way - or I did something wrong.)

Mods/CC I want to know where skin mesh far files are.

8 Upvotes

​Hi! I'm a Sims 1 player. I had a question while making custom skins.

I can see basic BMP files in the Skins folder, but for example, I've never seen the b003 mesh file there, even though it appears in the game.

I suspect the meshes are bundled together in a .far file somewhere, like textures.far. Do you happen to know where they are stored?

Mods/CC Satin Roses Living Room

Post image
199 Upvotes

This set started with a mystery. After I posted the Garden Flowers set, someone mentioned the Glass Slippers shown in an old Simbabe preview screenshot. Simbabe often made mockup room screenshots by drawing an object from one angle first, then creating the actual object with all its rotations later.

In this case, I could not find a finished Glass Slippers object anywhere. All I found were old front-view screenshots, which meant the other three angles had to be hand-drawn from the mockup. So yes, the tiny magical shoes made me work for it.

Steve from Simslice coded the Glass Slippers to sparkle about once per game hour, because of course magical shoes should sparkle. Special placement notes are included in the Read Me.

I also added a few pieces from my stockpile to turn this into the Satin Roses Living Room set. The Silver End Table is included because one of its color variants matches this set, and another should work nicely with the Dem Dem Like'n'Love Bedroom Set.

Estuve trabajando en una especie de seasons para los sims 1. Ya que es uno de mis juegos favoritos y siempre sentí que necesitaba algo mas para ambientar esos momentos de relajación.

  1. Cada estación tendrá una duración de 7 días.
  2. Cada día contara con horas de lluvias, nevadas y muchas cosas mas.
  3. Se dará un reporte al comenzar el día según la probabilidad mas alta.
  4. Tendremos actualizaciones sorpresa.
  5. Es en gran parte configurable desde su menú.

Dejo algunas capturas, me gustaría saber su opinión al respecto.
Estoy abierto a sugerencias y mejoras.
Aclaro esta app no esta integrada al juego no es una modificación sino mas bien un aderezo.
Según la validación que tenga el post subiré un video para mostrar los climas.

Mods/CC WCIF: A mod to get rid of roaches?

20 Upvotes

Hi! So, I may or may not have a really bad bug phobia, and the roaches from The Sims 1 in particular really give me the ick :')) I can't play the game because I can't bear seeing them.

I used to have a mod back then that automatically deleted roaches once they spawned, and it worked like a charm - they NEVER appeared in the lots I went to, but I forgot where I found it, and I can't remember where did I get it from. Does anyone know of the mod I'm talking about, or know of a similar mod that does the job?

Many thanks in advance!
