ARKHELIOS - A murder mystery and sci-fi scripted hood
It’s here!! It’s all finally here! An original, unique hood that resulted as the first collab between Red (simstate) and Nappe (nappe-plays-the-sims).
“Founded by Abraham Helios and disillusioned citizens protesting laws limiting freedom of expression (or freedom of partying) ARKHELIOS is embedded in the midst of nowhere between mountains no normal sim would dare climb. The community managed by itself up until the untimely death of Abraham. As succession is called into question and secrets unravel, will the inhabitants of ARKHELIOS be able to find peace again or plunge into chaos?”
What is Arkhelios? Arkhelios is a 10 household, 50+ sim story hood that revolves over the founder, Abraham Helios, being suddenly murdered! Find out who the killer is and look into all the drama and storylines of all the families!
What does Arkhelios require and is it CC-Free? Arkhelios was created with the Ultimate Collection in mind, so you’ll need all EPs and SPs for everyone to work as advertised. Arkhelios does come with some CC, but it’s purely for lore reasons and it’s only a little bit!
How long does Arkhelios take to complete? We recommend you play through all the households in this playing order. Please note that YOU ONLY NEED TO PLAY THEM for 2-3 DAYS at a time to solve the main mystery, no need for full rounds!
More features of Arkhelios:
Scripted events for all households!! With custom notifications!
A secret puzzle in the hood you have to solve!
After you’ll solve this secret puzzle, you’ll know who the killer is in a “machinima” style cutscene!
Secret easter eggs everywhere! Will you find them all?
DOWNLOAD: SimFileShare | Dropbox | MTS (soon)
Notes: Certain behavior changing mods like Story Progression can cause a lot reset, which will break the scripted events. In that case, I recommend taking out SP to finish the main story, and then putting it back in once you’ve completed the story :D
Note 2: Certain pics in the game might trigger your eyes- some of them are photosensitive. If you have sensitive eyes, please take care and don’t play for now!
And of course, what wouldn’t be a download post without crediting and thanking some people?
@lazyduchess who helped a lot: she helped on the modding stuff, and is responsible for making this hood as unique as it is! Thanks!
@whattheskell who gave feedback on the hood and playtested it! <3
@reginacyrkonia for feedback and help on making the video and giving filming tips to me, a newbie! <333
general inspiration for arkhelios style: @katatty and @moocha-muses’s nekojima, @penig’s widespot, @eddysims for photos, skell for story,
ninthwavesims for decorative objects, jennihaze for floor
special thanks to some people who helped: @ara-fusilli, @xwhitepolar, premiumfeel, bob aka lapis, MAGLX, ri2xe, residentgoth, superlegal, thybrid21, zan
special thanks (Nappe): Hans, 70% dark chocolate, free meditation videos, weird apartment neighbor
Don’t wanna listen to the same old Sims 2 music while playing this hood? We have two Spotify playlists based on the story of Arkhelios!! We put a lot of care in them, we hope you like them! [ Playlist One | Playlist Two ]
Enjoy! - PSYCHDUO (Red & Nappe)

I think the current game planners at EA are too detached from the whole sims community :(
Dear Laura Miele,
I read your recent interview with VentureBeat where you discussed the future of The Sims. As a long-time player of the series, I have concerns.
Firstly, there is no reason to ignore the elephant in the room. The Sims 4 was originally built to be multi-player, but with the flop of SimCity 2013 (a multi-player simulation game) TS4 got a quick makeover. While I could go on about the flaws of TS4 from its core to the stacks of micro-transaction packs built on a broken foundation, I will put aside those particular criticisms for a larger discussion.
The Sims is a life simulation game. While you state that “Play with Life” is The Sims’s brand, I remember when it was about creating. Create worlds. Create families. Create chaos. Create stories. Create life.
The Sims 4 has taken the franchise down a much different path. While we can still create our sims, we cannot create the worlds they live in or even place lots. We must purchase new packs for more locations. We find linear action/adventure storylines implemented into packs like Strangerville or Star Wars: Journey to Batuu. While I am a fan of sims lore, I find these particular packs irksome as they shift The Sims from life simulation to RPG.
It became a theme with almost every TS4 pack, especially those like Island Living and Eco Lifestyle–though less RPG–but more goal oriented to “saving the world” or in Snowy Escape “climb the mountain.” A pattern like this is something I do not want repeated in the next generation of The Sims.
While I have seen many SimGurus argue that The Sims have a variety of players (which is true) and they want to appease players who want point-and-click adventures, it takes away resources and opportunities to expand the sandbox, which is the foundation of every life simulation game.
There are endless action/adventure RPG games, many made by EA. There are few life simulation games and only one highly successful, The Sims.
While I know your interview addressed the future of The Sims and not TS4, I wanted to begin the conversation with those points as I now move to the future of the franchise.
The Sims has always been rated T for Teen, but lately a great many players have noticed the focus drifting ever closer to E for Everyone, which means including children as a base customer. I understand EA sees an opportunity for sales, but making a life simulation game appropriate for children will limit TS5 in game play and intricacy as every aspect of the game will have to be easy enough for a five-year-old to understand.
As an adult, this would be a major turn-off and opens to a more pressing problem I have seen questioned across the community here on Tumblr, forums, and Twitter. The idea of making the next game compatible across all platforms, including mobile. While I agree Xbox and PlayStation’s consoles are completely able to run a game such as The Sims, I would not want the game dumbed down for mobile. It would mean a simple, depthless game–an issue that already disappoints customers of TS4.
Again, I understand EA wants to reach as many consumers as possible. You are a company that wants to make a profit and sees an opportunity to make more sales. Making the game for children and mobile, may reach new customers, but it will ultimately lose a vast majority of players who desire a sequel that brings back that excitement like when we watched the trailer for Sims 2.
And you think the way to do that is to re-introduce multi-player, like The Sims Online? You stated you believe the “social connection” is what is missing in the franchise. I can tell you that is untrue. Simmers are probably the most vocal gamers I know. We have already made the “social connection” through the mediums we have chosen.
While I know there are already people reading this–you may be included–that think, “just make online optional,” I must insist on the single player experience.
If you create Sims 5 to be like Roblox or Second Life, it will extremely limit the core of the game. It will transition the game from life simulation to MMORPG. While I cannot say “no one wants that,” I can confirm as a long-time player and one that knows thousands of other players, we do not want that.
We do not want The Sims turned into IMVU and Second Life, which are glorified chat-rooms with an avatar and a marketplace to buy virtual, pixelated CAS items. It is already an issue–of paid content–faced daily in our community. I suggest EA not fan those flames.
We do not want the game to be centered around socializing as it is in TS4. We want depth. Memories. Chaos. Consequences. And maybe an alien abduction every now and then?
I want to reaffirm that The Sims is a life simulation game. A sandbox game where you play God and build worlds, houses, and manipulate lives of simulated people. I do not see why you would feel the need to compete with Roblox or Second Life or Fortnite. None of those games give the player the same experience as The Sims.
Stop limiting the sandbox. Embrace it. Expand it for a better generation.
Sincerely,
MDP

Here we have what was my first ever Blender project - a food truck called “The Pink Fiskur”! I based it off the ´heimahumar’ trucks in Iceland (specifically this picture) As stated in some of my previous posts, the textures aren’t super HD sorry!
DETAILS
Found under Appliances, Misc
§4500
Not recolourable
Approx. 7k polys
NOTE - There is no footprint so that you can place a register and it will function. This means that sims will walk straight through it, unfortunately.
T.O.U.
Please do not reupload or claim as your own! You are welcome to recolour or convert to other sims games but please provide proper credit.
If you plan on using this in a story, would you mind keeping it’s name as "The Pink Fiskur’’? Thanks :)

Looks interesting!
Working on furnishing all lots on St. Greer with a friend of mine. It has been a long journey but i’m proud to say it is almost done. I love this world ♥ I got most if not all of the lots from @berryique-sgi-lots, Annie’s Simblr and from Ériu Fé. Soon it will be a working world.

I am adding some simple houses to the vacant plots on the wonderful Kit Island world made by 99simsonthewall. This is the first time building homes in sims 3 and I’m finding the recolouring challenging as every part of every item seems to need changing individually, there is probably a whizzbang short cut I am missing!
Screencaptures taken with a reshade filter, another thing I am getting to know :)

Just downloading this beautiful looking little island and looking forward to making a community there!
Kit Island Release! April 30, 2020
This is the official release of my latest world Kit Island. This is a tiny world inspired by New England. The world features a complete downtown with a bar, a coffee shop, a gym, a library, and festival grounds. There is also a cemetery and a small church. The port features a “ferry” that Sims can “take” to go to more jobs on the mainland. The world has every base game rabbit hole, however, Jynx’s Rabbithole rugs were used to achieve this. The grocery store, spa, diner, bistro, office building, bookstore, police station, city hall, and military base all are in buildings on the island, whereas the rest are found on the “ferry.”
Lots:
The world features 48 lots total, most of the lots are small. (20x30 or less usually)
18 commercial lots (all fully built and usable)
20 residential lots (2 houses and 2 “town homes” are built)
The reason I chose not to build every residential lot is because my game is struggling to run smoothly. After building for awhile my game will crash and it is a bit frustrating to deal with. On top of this, I’m not super inspired by the style of this world anymore, especially for residential lots. However, I do plan on using this world since it is so small but still has everything I want in a world and will try to release houses for the empty lots in the future.
Content Needed:
Uses these packs: Late Night, Pets, University Life, Seasons, and Island Paradise.
Custom Content: The download comes with the world as well as a custom content folder. The world only uses the Jynx Rabbithole Rugs as well as Awesims’ Cornices. I’m including both of these in the download, the folder marked “Kit Island CC” can be placed in your mods/packages folder. These are both HIGHLY recommended for game play as well as the aesthetic of the world.
Known issue with a solution: Both of the town home lots in my testing were glitched slightly. When your sim enters the lot, the game doesn’t allow you to switch floors. The solution I found was just to make your sim climb the stairs by clicking on them, and then once the sim enters each floor, the game will allow you to switch between them again. I tried to fix this by removing some debug objects and other things but nothing seemed to work. Otherwise, every lot is thoroughly tested and things like swimming and boating work well, however remember it is a tiny-size world so the boats can’t stray very far from the island.
If any glaring issues are found let me know and I will fix and re-release asap!
Thank you to everyone who has been leaving me asks about this world and pushing me to release it! If you play in this world or build a house to share, please tag your posts on tumblr with #KitIsland

This looks really interesting!
Tørsvall Town Map! Click picture for higher resolution
This will be updated as I continue to expand the main town. I’ll add links to the lots that I have made posts for already :) Italics indicate I haven’t settled on a name for the lot yet.
If anyone has any suggestions for lot names or building ideas, I’d love to hear them!!
Keep reading
