The Invisible Bikemobile: For when you want to go unnoticed

Found under bikes, costs twice as much as the normal bike. Can be clicked without issue.


Glasses Marks

When your sims who otherwise wear glasses 24/7 take them off to shower or sleep...they should have marks on their noses like the rest of us! Or like me. My glasses droop all the time but still manage to make a mark on my nose.


Child - Elder, both genders. It's found under BLUSH and as a result is recolorable for skintones and severity purposes:


It might be too high/low depending on your sim's facial structure, but usually it looks fine. :D You could easily make it any other makeup/facepaint/whatever if you wish to use blush along with it.

Leotard-kinda Set for Guys (and girls) (YA and Adult)

Do male leotards usually have tights under them? I dont know. But this one can.

I really liked the dance leotard from The Sims 2 Freetime but am too lazy to recadoodlefy it over to the sims 3. So here I converted a few female items over. The straps on the back look a bit odd on a guy, but whatever. Yep! That's a guy in these pics. If you are not secure enough in your gender and sexuality to handle that, then get the hell over yourself.

This "set" is the Leotard itself, as well as the long stockings converted for Males, and, if you need one, a nude lower bottom (the leotard is a top, but the texture extends to the bottom. So to use it properly, the sim must be nude on the lower part).

 The back part looks a bit odd, since I don't think most tank tops for guys would have that sort of a strap :p But it works for what I wanted it for, so that's how I left it.


Gymnasts and dancers and musclemen alike love it :D

All pieces can be found in every group but Formal.

How to Use:
-Find the Leotard Top under Tops
-Find the nude bottom under bottoms (I have included one if you do not have one)
-Find the tights in Accessories

FEMALE VERSION is just the swimsuit converted to every outfit type. Use it with stockings, tada.

"Maxis-Match" Low Cut Bikini Briefs

Way sexier, but still briefs, so still not all that sexy.

Butterfly Park Arch Sign

Yknow the graveyard sign? I removed the scary text and added BUTTERFLIES!


It looks better when you aren't up close, as in, always. :p

The fun part about this is...it's just an alpha edit. I took the Graveyard sign and changed the Alpha. It didn't require meshing at all. Technically, I could make an entirely new arch, but that's beyond my scope of attention. This is cute enough. :D

Costs the same as and found in the same places as the graveyard sign.

Enviromental Institute of Modern Art (Sunset Valley Museum/Club/Aquarium)

I changed the museum to be half club. Also to have a lot more to look at.

CHANGES:
-Outside walls are different
-Outside floors are different
-Main art room is slightly altered, has new staircase
-Dark room on the side has a purpose, is now a Club/Aquarium
-Rooftop has a hangout spot with random art


And the dark room has become a small bar and aquarium. It is called "The White Room". WHy is it white when it is clearly purple and cyan?


Because everything is actually white.


Has NO CC but this clean dive pool, but uses furniture from WA and HELS and requires the Renault pack from the store (for the windmills and solar panels). 31x50 in size, just like the original museum.

Cleaned, Buyable Dive Well (No more stone!)

The Dive Well has a stone texture on it that can't be removed. Because of this, I removed it! I also made it buyable. It is NOT a replacement!




Left is clean, right is original. Both have the same texture on them in this shot.

These are the default color options for the new one:



But be careful, the texture flips on one half, so some textures might look a bit odd.



Cost is 2,500. Can be found under Decor, Misc Decor, Outdoor, Lawn Decor, and Community Buildings. Compatible with the default dive well.

Mod Brick Slats Pattern

I wanted a pattern like this for the outsides of clubs and stuff. but I don't have a club to display it on, so I slapped it all over my self sim's house.


It's a brick-ish pattern. Has two channels, the black and the grey. Found under Misc. simply because I like knowing what patterns are custom content, and so I put them under Misc.

First crappy attempt at a pattern: ...Astroturf carpet, I guess?

Well, it's intended as astroturf. Whether or not it looks like that depends on your point of view, I'd imagine. Personally, I wasn't satisfied with any fabric or carpet textures for such a thing (actually, I don't like any carpet textures AT ALL, they're all striped or weird.). Did I miss an existing in-game one just like this? Maybe. I dunno.

Anyway, it's supposed to be astroturf, but it works for general carpeting too. The detail on it can be easy to miss, it's not very exaggerated or anything. So click the pics to see, or it'll just look like solid color :p

Is that some brady bunch lawn I see?


Or maybe a sports fanatic wants an outside inside room. (This is the default color)


Or just general carpet purposes.


It's kinda eh, I know. I want to do a true pattern but am having difficulty with the color masks, so this is all I've got for now.

Found in Misc.

How do I make a cloned object unique?

Trying to make my own wall art, but i dunno how to clone it to be my own unique non-replacing objects. And...I can't...figure it out ;-;

Sims Unleashed for Sims 3: The Vanilla Home (Starter)

"For the family with more imagination than means."

I used to always pick this home as my first in The Sims 1.


30x30, no CC and WA is not required. Cost is just over 14k, meaning a single sim would have 2k leftover for a bed and couch and TV.
