Tutorial: Custom Lighting, Moons, and Weather For Each Installed World
For those of us who play in multiple worlds, it can be hard to choose an appropriate custom lighting mod; what suits Monte Vista may not be entirely appropriate for Aurora Skies! When adding weather mods to the mix, and moon replacements, and cloud replacements, it’s very easy to tear one’s hair out in frustration and despair. However, it is entirely possible to have custom lighting, moon, and weather mods in each installed world. Here is how it’s done.
Necessary Items
A custom world you wish to edit
Various lighting, moon, and weather mods you like
Basic knowledge of S3PE (opening packages, exporting files, and replacing package contents)
Step 1: Collect Your World and Mods.
Choose the world you wish to edit. In our example, I am editing risastorm's alien world, Lunestia, to have the following aesthetic changes:
Brntwaffle's Triple Cotton Candy Mint Swirl Berry Lighting Mod
sims3legacies’ Titan Moon Replacement
Memeingfulcorndoge’s Moon Resizer (at 2x enlargement)
I like the weather from Triple Swirl, so I am not copying another mod’s weather, but you can do that if you wish!
Step 2: Turn Your INIs into Outies!
(I slay myself.)
Once you have downloaded all your chosen mods, open each mod in S3PE and extract their INIs and/or Keys. Use CTRL-A to select all the files, and import them to a working file by right-clicking and choosing “Export To File.”
Step 3: Editing Your World
Open your Installed Worlds folder (Documents→EA→The Sims 3→Installed Worlds) and find the world you want to edit.
Copy it and paste it into your working file, where you extracted all your INI and Key files. It should look something like this.
Open your world in S3PE; it will look something like this.
Click “Resource→Import From File.”
Navigate to your work folder and import all your INI and Key files.
Click “Open,” and the following window will pop up. Be sure to click “Replace Duplicates,” or else we will have done nothing to your file, and then click “Import.”
Finally, save your work!
When you’ve done this, just replace your original world in your Installed Worlds file with your new one, and enjoy your aesthetic improvements!

@nornities for informing me that moons for each world was a possibility!

Back over in the downtown area as I transform My Sim Realty’s world Meadow Glen V4 to Harveston County, and I’m once again working on the interior of the build I downloaded for the police station in an area I’m thinking of calling Ash Street Square... or something like that.
Anywho, as I noted previously, Harveston County’s Police Station shares a lot with several other little shops. The one featured in the above pictures is located in the larger of the buildings that comes with Missyzim’s Victorian Grocers Market lot (TSR). It’s a little pizzeria that uses @anitmb‘s Business as Unusual Mod, and @sigmundsims‘ Custom Functional Menus, which are edits of Ani’s menu.
I don’t often use the kind of hot wheels red that I colored the walls over such a wide space. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve used the color in the past on anything other than vehicles. I was trying to give the place that odd plastic look often used for child oriented spaces, but with this particular wall it came out more like newly renovated hipster nod to retro cafes. As the space above this restaurant is occupied by a yoga studio, and the square itself is relatively close to the community college and affluent neighborhood, I felt that my oops walls fit better than my original plan.
I still have to select ceiling lights, but other than that this pizzeria is ready for route testing.

@sigmundsims replied to your post: @windermeresimblr replied to your photo: Smug. ...
I think Pescado has a mod that stops death from removing the “married” flag, but I could be wrong.
There’s probably mods about it somewhere, but I sort of like how it works vanilla! I think remarrying a properly rezzed spouse is potentially very romantic.
And not being married to an improperly resurrected spouse is potentially very . . . convenient.
That’s definitely been my main takeaway from @nappe-plays-the-sims‘s Widespot gameplay.

Ooh, what do you mean by an injector? I didn’t realize you could make reshade work with TS2.
It’s an dll injector. It will force the game to run reshade. I use Xenos injector and works great.

Girl, you take such adorable family photos! I know you've shared some poseboxes of your own before, but how are you posing your babies? Especially the Saunders and Cinderford babies in your most recent (Round 11) summary. They look so natural and cute!
Hi! Ahw, thank you :3 I hope you don’t mind if I share it publicly in case if anyone else is interested!
I mostly use this, this, and that poseboxes, and for the Cinderford one, I just put the baby to the danglemaster thingy, then put her to Alice’s hands. You need testingcheats or some kind of selector mod to make the babies selectable, and make them pose (when I pose families, I always save before, and quit without saving after, so it doesn’t cause any problems). You probably need angled OMSPs for some of the poses, though.
I hope it helps a bit hehe :)

For anyone who might find it useful, here’s link to simple random trait generator, based on traits from the list provided by @hexagonal-bipyramid . Just hit f5 and each time you’ll get five random traits.

Yes, It would be great to create a mod which assigns these traits to sims, according with their personality.
I have some great news for you! Part 2 is coming...
@sigmundsims reblogged your photo and added:
I wanted to mention Simlogical’s Annoying Game Suite, which I think could be used to make these traits functional. (...)
Woah! I’ve never heard of Annoying Game Suite before! Thank you for mentioning it! It can totally be something like this! I’ve started making mods with the traits and it’s definitely something that can be done (imagine an unflirty Sims having limited flirts interactions or Flirty ones can unlock these interactions faster). The possibilities are endless!
@4w25-sims replied to your photo “Traits Project (Part 1 ) - TS3 Traits for TS2 Here’s the first and...”
These are just objects... What the hell is going on with community, why everyone is so happy about OBJECTS with textures of traits? What don't I understand?
You are right. These are just objects. It’s only the first part of the project so there will be other things in the future.
Objects in inventories can work as tokens, so that can open so many possibilities for mods. There are mods that already use that concept with other objects, such as @midgethetree‘s Mermaid mod or simlogical’s Electronic Prisoner Tag.
Even without mods, it can be useful for roleplay purposes. They can be a good indicator for choosing a Sim’s aspiration, the job they want, the business they can own, their interests, their lifestyle and so many other things.

Hey, just checking in with some of my favorite simblrs to see if they have any alternate accounts (dreamwidth, wordpress, etc)? Don't want to lose track of you if you move. :)
Hey!
I did make a dreamwidth (https://simper-fi.dreamwidth.org) but it’s still empty at the moment. (I also made a Wordpress I think?? but tbh I find the site very confusing and the importer isn’t working for me anyway, so if I was going to move anywhere I’d probably just use DW). I have no immediate plans to leave tumblr unless shit REALLY hits the fan, because I’ve been here for six (!) years already, and I have so many blogs I follow and lovely followers and I’m an old fart who hates change and doesn’t particularly want to start over. :D
I would never just up and disappear without at least posting something here, so no worries! I also do have an offline back-up saved of my blog in case I need to repost things elsewhere and I can’t seem to get the damn Wordpress importer to work.
Thank you so much for checking in! :D

The eyes are probably part of the skin. If you keep your downloads folder super organized, that would explain it.
But that doesn’t explain how Carl went from having one of the eyes from my eyeset, to having... those? Because I still have the eyes he’d been assigned. It’s weird!

Maybe if I did this more frequently it wouldn’t seem like so much work.
@deedee-sims normally I do too, but sometimes this happens (this is a very minor case that I’ve seen), and so instead of being bummed about having to go back and fix the mesh, I just redo the bone assignments in the first place. :)
@deedee-sims and @princess-arystal21 you guys are too nice.
@brittbratt4567 I’ve answered this ask here. You may have seen it already. If you have certain bottoms that you want I’d be more willing to look for you. :P
Thanks @princess-arystal21! I hope you had a good day :)
@needlecream, @sigmundsims, @jeeks-sims, @deedee-sims, @mrs-mquve-cc thank you all for the kind words. It really means a lot. <3
@sigmundsims I love your avi so much - I say that to myself everytime I see it :P I figured I would let you know
Thank you. I really wanted to do the ‘proud’ pose from acnl as a gif response but I couldn’t find it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you so much @needlecream !!
I should’ve picked Tribute by Tenacious D because I can never be sad listening to that. I also can never not sing along to it.
@aeonpixels that’s a really nice offer! I’ll probably message you about sending me the ones I wanted from Cool Kitchen, Luxury Party, and Dine Out soon. :)

A big thank you for your lovely comments about the trait randomizer! Hopefully it will come in handy for some of you! Next step is to make actual mods with these traits!
Other replies:
@phinae-simblr replied to your photo “Traits Project (Part 2 ) - The Trait Randomizer Don’t know what traits...”
questions : est-ce que ça ne ralentit pas le chargement du jeu ? Est-ce que les traits peuvent démentir le hobby favori ? Je ne les ai plus en tête mais par exemple un trait disant "horreur de la nature" avec un sim ayant pour hobby favori la nature.
Le seul moment où le jeu pourrait ralentir est lorsque le Trait Randomizer trie l’inventaire du Sim. Ça ne dure qu’un bref instant, mais ça peut durer plus longtemps si le Sim en question a énormément d’objets dans son inventaire.
Pour l’instant, ça ne démentit pas le hobby favori. Le jeu choisit le hobby principal d’un Sim en fonction de sa personnalité, donc il est quand même rare qu’un Sim possède un trait de caractère qui vient en contradiction avec son hobby (si le randomiseur regarde la personnalité du Sim avant de lui attribuer les traits). Même avec Les Sims 3, certains traits n’ont pas trop de sens entre eux même s’il n’y a aucun conflit. Par exemple, un Sim qui est à la fois Allergique à la nature et Pêcheur ou Main verte (quoique ce Sim pourrait sûrement être heureux avec un jardin intérieur !).
phinae-simblr replied to your photo “Traits Project (Part 2 ) - The Trait Randomizer Don’t know what traits...”
En tout cas +10000 pour la dispo en français, c'est bien rare et à souligner même si c'est ta langue natale.
Merci beaucoup ! :D ♥
@clstldrmr83 replied to your photo “Traits Project (Part 1 ) - TS3 Traits for TS2 Here’s the first and...”
I like this a lot! It will make it much easier to flesh out story characters now. Have you thought about doing Traits from Sims Medieval too? https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Trait_(The_Sims_Medieval)
Thank you! ♥ For now I will focus on the original traits but that’s a cool idea!
@palechildwitch replied to your photo “Traits Project (Part 2 ) - The Trait Randomizer Don’t know what traits...”
It'd be great if traits were assigned according to personality/aspiration/and interests
The Trait Randomizer already does this with the exception of interests. I hesitated including interests since they can be easily changed during a Sim’s life by reading magazines and doing hobby-related activities. I’m pretty sure it’s possible to make a mod so that Sims love talking about a certain subject related to their traits regardless even with low interest points.
@princesspiratecat replied to your photo “Traits Project (Part 2 ) - The Trait Randomizer Don’t know what traits...”
Cool, but these traits don't actually do anything, right? It would be cool if they did.
They will. It’s just the beginning of the project ;)
@sigmundsims replied to your post “Replies! ♫”
Ahh, so you are ahead of me, then! :D I've got a list going of ways I'd like to use these traits, can't wait to see what you do with them!
Cool! I’d love to see that! I’ve got a list too but it’s definitively not exhaustive and there are so many things that can be done with these traits.

For @holleyberry, @lady-bane, @strangetomato, @ajaysims, @mustluvcatz-reloaded, @sideblogsimblr, @kayleigh-83, @simper-fi, @spectral-cat, @sigmundsims, and @phoenixdaisy...
holleyberry replied to your photo “Adventures in floor plan “shopping.” I was looking on some floor plan...”
That is a cute house.
It really is. I wanted something tiny, that I can put on a 2x2 lot (and then maybe chop down to 1x2) with two full floors and outdoor living space, and that’s one of the few I’ve found so far. It has a cute screen porch on the back, too, in addition to the wrap-around. I’ll probably use it for the custom beach vacation neighborhood I want to build, too.
lady-bane replied to your photo “Adventures in floor plan “shopping.” I was looking on some floor plan...”
THEY'VE FOUND US GET TO ZE CHOPPAAAA
VE CANNOT HAVE A MOMENT’S PEACE EVEN ON HOLIDAY!
strangetomato replied to your photoset “And while we’re in vacation neighborhoods, have you ever looked...”
I agree. :) And I've never noticed the the mer-llama before!
Honestly, I only noticed the mer-llama when I took that pic! I never really looked at the back of the ship much before because, on the lot it’s sitting on, it has big rocks behind it. But I wanted to take a pic of the “windows” back there, and saw that, which was pretty awesome. :)
ajaysims replied to your photo “Thing I Just Noticed in a Game I’ve Been Playing For a Decade”...”
Have to admit that I can count the amount of vacations my sims have taken on one hand. BV is my least-played expansion. Mainly because in my mac version it was glitchy as hell and I ended up with sims stuck and all sorts, so I just gave up on it. Now I'm playing a PC version, I should give it another whirl.
You really should. I confess I’m really not all that excited about the doing all the things on vacation anymore, since I’ve already done them. (Although I do like bringing home Bigfoot from Three Lakes. I have modded objects that will spawn a Bigfoot, but that’s just not the same. :) ) It’s more being able to send Sims there and let them relax and do different things they wouldn’t normally do, without any jobs (or, for me, childcare, since I usually send only singles/couples and sometimes adult siblings on vacations) and other things to worry about. It can also be a place for singles to find romance amongst people they wouldn’t otherwise meet. Just make sure you’ve patched, if you’re not using the UC, because BV as it was released was super-glitchy, even the PC version.
Also, I like building vacation houses, both “rentals” and ones that can be owned and that aren’t ugly like the Maxis ones.
mustluvcatz-reloaded replied to your photoset “And while we’re in vacation neighborhoods, have you ever looked...”
And of course I notice the unmapped bottom of the whateverthatssupposedtobelayingonitsside, lol.
LOL, yeah, that was the one thing they missed. I’m going to guess that they just chopped off one of the mesh’s masts to the make the extra lying-down one. (Which is what I think that’s supposed to be; sailing ships of the day often carried an extra mast on board in case one was destroyed by weather or blown up by a cannonball. Either that, or it’s supposed to be a fallen mast, since the ship is dilapidated anyway.) So, the bottom wasn’t mapped since otherwise the masts are standing upright. Too bad they didn’t fix that. Maybe it was an afterthought sort of thing and the non-mapping wasn’t noticed or there wasn’t enough time to fix it.
I love the cannons in that pic, though. Especially the one lying on its side. They have a really lovely weathered-bronze patina, which is a nice touch.
sideblogsimblr reblogged your photoset and added:
i had totally forgot about the llama figurehead,...
It’s an awesome figurehead. It’s not surprising that it’s a llama, of course, but the texturing on it is very nice, too. Someone needs to restore the gold leaf on it, though. ;)
kayleigh-83 replied to your post “My fellow vegans...”
I’m not vegan myself but I know people who are/were and I know daiya is sold in Canada for sure
Ah, good to know for when I find myself up there again. :) I was about 80% sure I’d bought some up there during one of my extended stays, but more and more my memory is becoming less dependable, so...
kayleigh-83 replied to your photoset “And while we’re in vacation neighborhoods, have you ever looked...”
I always thought the pirate ship was pretty amazing and well done!
simper-fi replied to your photoset “And while we’re in vacation neighborhoods, have you ever looked...”
I LOVE the pirate ship textures!
They did a really good job with it. Whoever textured the pirate ship should’ve textured more things in the game, IMO. They have some excellent attention to detail, unmapped bottoms of masts notwithstanding.
spectral-cat replied to your photo “Thing I Just Noticed in a Game I’ve Been Playing For a Decade”...”
I honestly just noticed it tonight as well, as I was making over this lot tonight.
It’s actually quite authentic to cover the entire floor of a structure in tatami mats, from what I understand. (I’ve never been to Japan. Other countries over there, yes; Japan itself, no.) I’m not sure that type of building would be one that would be done that way, but it was nice of Maxis to do a little nod to the culture that way.
sigmundsims replied to your photo “Ahhhh, Three Lakes. There’s lots of room once you demolish all the...”
I love the idea of “off road” rentals! It’d feel more rustic.
Yeah, honestly, I’m trying to make Three Lakes...Well, more like home. :) Where I live is a ski resort, primarily, but there are all sorts of other outdoor things that are big in the general area. (Which is SW Colorado/the Four Corners in general.) Aside from skiing, hiking/climbing, mountain biking, hunting/fishing, jeeping, kayaking, snowmobiling, horseback-trekking, etc. are all huge here. Ice climbing is big in the town where I live, specifically, since there’s a big waterfall right outside of town that freezes every winter. And yes, people who do those things will stay in out-of-the-way rustic cabins. Some, of course, will stay in luxury hotels/lodges, true, but the real outdoorsy (and non-rich/celebrity) people don’t. So I want to give at least the appearance of those activities being available, and I’m building the rustic “amenities” to go with it. So basically, less “lumberjack village” and more “artsy-hippie-outdoorsy ski resort.” I’ve already placed a lot in an off-road, out-of-the-way location to be a hunting camp using Sun & Moon’s hunting spawners, and I’m going to take a look at Chris Hatch’s skiing mod to see how it works...
phoenixdaisy replied to your post “And another thing I'd like!”
Maybe someone could steal animations off a closet or single shower to make one for you? I'd think that would be easier than all new animations, but I'm neither an object nor animator creator so I'm just speculating. If someone does make this for you, I'd totally download it, too, though. That'd be super useful.
@kayleigh-83 linked me to this object by @midgethetree which is very close to what I’m looking for but is for recharging servos, not for “recharging” vamps. So if that object could be merged with the coding (or whatever) for vampire coffins...Yeah, that’d be what I’m looking for. :)
