Anach's Sims 3 Mods - Updated 18th September 2014 (1.67)

[Anach]

These are my own personal mods that I use to tune the game to my liking. Many of these tweaks will make the game harder by increasing expenditure and decreasing income. The mods are modular and will not conflict with each other.

All these have been updated for 1.67, and while you may find similar mods elsewhere, these versions are my own personal settings and entirely updated for the current version of the game with all EP/SP installed. I do not support any other versions than the version I play.

It is likely my descriptions do not list every tweaked value, as it can be difficult to recall each setting. If you don't like the settings, you can easily change them yourself or remove them without risk to your save-games. I do not do custom requests of these tweaks, as the majority are easily tunable to your own liking using S3PE. Use at your own risk.

Anach_Sunset_Valley_Expanded_1.2

This is an altereration of Sunset Valley to include room for the various EP/SP/Store lots.

As I like Sunset Valley, and have an established family line within this town, I wanted to continue playing this town, but was finding it increasingly difficult to place the lots that keep coming with each expanion. I looked at some other custom worlds, but none of them were exactly what I was looking for.

My main goal was to make minimal changes to the terrain and leave all the original lots in place, while adding enough lots to include the new lot types from the various expanions and DLC. The size and location of the lots is to suit my own game and may not be to everyone's taste.

I have used NO store or custom content and all new lots are vacant. All standard lots and town families are untouched.

Added:
15x20 x1
35x25 x2
30x20 x7
30x30 x6
40x30 x3
40x40 x2
60x60 x2
64x64 x2

1.0
+ Intital release.

1.1
+ Routing fixes
- Removed rogue shrub

1.2
+ Routing fixes
+ fixed edges on some default EA lots.

Yes

9 day pregnancy?  With "rule of 6" aging mod, the pregnancy lasts longer than the entire baby/toddler stage, the most useless stage of a sim's life.

Then use one or the other. Are you playing on epic?

BTW, before anyone asks where the tweak file is, been having trouble with my router today, so intended to upload a fixed version of the annoying sound removal mod, but have only just been able to do so now.

[roger]

Well done! Thank You.

[cassblonde]

I know thank you posts are totally lame but I am so happy that someone finally got rid of that annoying build/buy music, it was driving me sane! Great job and I plan on using quite a few of the other tweaks as well

[Northstar]

Thank you. My game seems to be working now, and is devoid of mods, so these may come in handy!

[jolrei]

Not quite epic.  Sort of mid-range aging.  My sims (if they survive) tend to live about 175-200 days.  I just like more instant gratification - 9 day pregnancies are too much like waiting in line at the supermarket.  Not meant to be a criticism of the mod itself, just a comment.

Seems like the standard setting is more for you. Hopefully one of the other modders will update their pregnancy mods and give you some more options, I only included one option, simply because they are my personal mods and I only use one option. In this case its all about me

Can this be used without WA? and with update 1.8?

Most of it should work fine without WA, as long as you have the latest patch.

[AloeOwl]

Can you enable same sex pregnancy? Or is it too much of a hassle with the pregnancy morphs and stuff? (Since these are compatible with AM and the present ones out there aren't).

My mods are released as is, the only tweaks I'll be doing to them are bug fixes or if I want to change something to suit my tastes. However, you can tweak my files yourself with s3pe, or go find yourself the pregnancy morphs on MTS, then head over here to get yourself a custom pregnancy mod compatible with AM.

[Anach]

Uploaded the limo. I was surprised I couldnt find it anywhere else.

Thanks, Anach I understand that you don't want to add things; So thanks for the link, I didn't know it existed.

If anyone is using the Teen Pregnancy mod with the 1.9/2.4 patch, make sure you update to the latest version (As of today)

[Anach]

Cleaned and updated the AF elder pregnancy clothing to include the nude model so there are no more floating heads in the shower either.

Hopefully someone will do some proper elder pregnancy clothing and body at some point so we don't need to use the AF mesh.

[tinaa]

Thanks for these Mods!

[Anach]

Thanks for these Mods!

No problems.

Added a couple additional files.

[Anach]

Make sure you guys update your mods for Ambitions. There are a few files broken by the new patch.

Some of the mods should work as long as you have the latest patch. Of course the WorldAdventureBuyable you will need WA. Certain other mods like Teen woohoo and mods marked WA have some code relating to WA, which may cause issues with non-WA. The limo, elder clothes, life time reward debug items and bikini will work regardless of version. For some of the minor tweaks, you maybe able to find non-WA versions elsewhere, or even open up S3PE and the The Sims 3\Game\Bin\Gameplay\gameplaydata.package, find the files I've edited using their instance ID and make your own versions.
