I'm so glad the Sims 3 community is still active! I've been playing this game since 2009 and I still manage to learn a lot! Thanks a lot for your last two videos! They are really nice to listen to, the editing is great and I can't wait to see the next ones (if there are any planned) Oh and by the way, can I ask you if you have the reference of the loading screen that we can see at 0:14? It's beautiful :)
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoy my content :) The loading screen is my own, I modified an existing mod. You can find the link on my Twitter, just search for “loading screen”. But it was never meant to be published, so it might not work for you the way it works for me.
some of these secrets made my jaw drop. i've been playing sims 3 since the day the base game released all the way back in 2009 and i had no idea about some of these. the low foundation one in particular is going to be a game changer, i've been using platforms as low platforms for YEARS! and the disabling object fade cheat is so great, i've always hated how some things disappear on me when i get too close! thank you for this video
4 years after the release of the sims 4, k stopped playing it and switched to the sims 3. Ts4 was the first sims game when I finally had a laptop that could handle sims games (my first computer i got in 2011 and it was a laptop because those you can take with you when you travel and can study on them) it was a year or two after ts4 release and I struggled choosing between ts3 and ts4 but I picked ts4. I regret every coin spent on this game. It has its pro's (mods easy to manage, CC examining programmes, easier building) but those are not worth the cons, heavily overpriced (not as much as the store but...) and its kind of reperetive compared to ts3, also lacks some fun features (they try to bring back them from time to time, like they did with rabbit hole cinema)
Still playing the sims 3 upto this day. I am almost 27 and i grew up with the sims 2 at first and when the sims 3 came out i was skeptic. Later on i had a stupid moment and got sold all of my sims 2 (i needed money). Nowadays i am soooo sad i sold all of those 😭 i am seeint so many videos of features and facts i never knew about as a kid!
Definitely not enough people know that pressing F10 hides the whole interface, so you can record landscapes without any notifications interrupting the view! And also still use the mouse in no-interface view without Tab. The number of things given to a Sim, changing edge colors and rotating camera on Tab was a wow to me :O
I am a hardcore Sims 2 fan but I have played Sims 3 a bit too and wow I am just floored! They added sooo many amazing hotkeys and easy ways to use build/buy. Absolutely love that you can drag and drop styles like that, wow! Awesome video, really enjoyed this!
I always wondered why creat a style tool was so dang laggy when switching between modes. That makes a ton more sense now actually that it has so many hidden drag and drop features 😅
About the foundation trick, there is a similar trick that would let you raise the terrain at a desired height relative to wall height. If you raise the terrain between two rooms, you can use the flatten tool on the roof level of the rooms and the terrain will be at wall height, minus the height of an alt-placed foundation or platform. From there, you can change the height of the terrain by placing stairs. Holding shift and dragging when placing stairs on terrain let you choose how shallow or steep the steps is. Also, holding alt while placing stairs let you place 1 single step. Bonus for CAW users: Do you know that you can use the flatten tool to match the terrain height of a lot to your world?
been playing the sims franchise since the first one came out and didn't know some of the things you showed in this video. awesome to learn new things about a game that will never get old.
I've seen friezes on some buildings and always wondered how it was done, I used to build some walls and change their heights with "constraintfloorelevation false" but it was so expensive and unpractical... I'm sooo happy !!! :D
I've been playing since the pandemic and knew none of this! Had to pull out my notebook. The adjusting relationships and job performance feels illegal to know. But adjusting the needs 1 by 1 has SAVED ME from "Make All Happy". Hated using that since it affected everyone. Thanks yooou😊
It's been a long time since I played Sims 3, I knew something and then forgot it, but some things are totally new to me, for example, I've never changed baby clothes, usually I can't wait for them to grow up!😅
Im actually new to the pc version of the sims 3, i got it for my 18th birthday along with seasons, supernatural,university, and into the future off of steam which means sadly i dont have the quantum suit that you get from the limited edition version of into the future that you get from the retail version (disc) but its good to know several of these tips and tricks because i use to play the wii version of the sims 3. The one where you can actually controll the sim with the wii nunchuk which was epic but then i got sims 4 for free after it became free on steam which is very different from 3 because 1 TS4 has no open world which sucks 2 unlike 3 you have actual moods which is very confusing half of the damn time.
Seriously what’s with the Grim Reaper? They need to get rid of that. They should come up with an alternative like if the person to login throughout their life, they do an angel and if they do like bad things throughout the life, they get a werewolf or vampire something other than the Grim Reaper.
This video was awesome!. Very helpful tips. I've been playing this game for so long and I'm still learning so many new things, especially the build tips and the inventory one. Also the dragging the CAST preset while holding shift for changing the entire wall is a life changer. Thanks for sharing btw do you know how can I find that loading screen at the beginning of the video? can you tell me what to google?
Thank you! I’m learning a lot of new things too! The game is huge. The loading screen is my own, I modified an existing mod. You can find the link on my Twitter, just search for “loading screen”. But it was never meant to be published, so it might not work for you the way it works for me.
You mean I don't have to use constrainfloorelevation cheat when I want to have a modern roof???? I've been playing the sims 3 for so many years and never knew "placeFriezes" cheat was a thing
I learned how to use this cheat not long ago, and I was also shocked because I remember 2011 and Twinbrook where friezes were everywhere and I had no idea how to make them!
Whereas in the Sims 2 you can drag skills, personality, interests and hobby enthusiasm (if you have FreeTime) sadly you cannot drag skills in the Sims 3 or anything in the sims 4.
Would you mind if I transcribed some of these to text and photo and put it on tumblr? I'd also link back to your video, of course. There were enough things here I either didn't know or forgot about, that I wanted to share with the crowd that doesn't watch videos much.
hey thanks so much i play sims3 and its the best, but the problem is i only have base game and high end stuff exp pack. and one town- sunset valley. thats all i have. i installed some mods. i was hoping to have a night club and one more spa, also that spring harvest mod, i installed all that but they dont work, theres no that lobotomy spa or malibu night club or spring harvest recipes and extra seeds and stuff. am i doing something wrong or i need more expansions pack or that doesnt matter? i have the cc loader. few other mods are working ok. Also my freaking screen is to stretched. i disabled the full screen thing in option but then it looks normal and sharp but its to small. i played with all the available options there but its just not right. it doesnt look like yours. like, normal, you know what i mean. mine is streched, it looks unrealistic and details look slightly blurry because of it. its not clear like yous, it looks like im playing something from 20 years ago. im on acer nitro 5 laptop.
Thank you share this💙😃🌈🌈🌈🌈. Maybe only 1 in this tips tricks i try use later: give specific amount small object to inventory sim, but hope it work too for take from or put to specific object like workbench inventing, amount scrap to take or put that little save time than transfer use mod master controller.
I wonder if I have some mod already fixing it because I seriously use these cheats and objects all the time and never noticed anything like this and I do play with aging on! 🤔
@@SimMattically simler90’s mod fixed only some of it in update 152. The game still resets sims age when they get tattoo or plastic surgery. Simler90 said he’s working on mod that’ll also fix it and he’ll released in near future.
wtff I’ve been playing sims 3 and using testingcheatsenabled for like 10 years and i had no idea that you could drag job performance or add lifetime happiness :0 thanks :D

I’ve played both and I go back to TS3 way more every time. The sims 4 was a downgrade
The only cool thing about sims 4 is that resize tool, you can make a TV absolutely Gigantic. or did they remove that? :/
Not someway but better that sims 4..sims 4 is a crapy shit

I play The Sims 3 for 12 years and there are some things that I didn't know about!!
TS3 is so vast
More than a decade playings Sims 3 and I had no idea these things can be done!!!

i'm literally playing the sims 3 since 13 years nonstop and didn't know a lot of of these. Thank you!

The inventory shift to choose how many to transfer is a sanity saver! Thank-you so much!

So helpfull dude, thank you so much for making these videos about the sims 3 ( Cause I love the Sims 3 a lottt) 🥰🥰🥰

Clicking on moodlet is a game changer, especially if you have two story house. Thanks for the tip.
AMAZING VIDEO!!! Bravo! Thank you soo much! ❤

OMG THE FRIEZES I HAD NO IDEA AND BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT FOR SO LONG
I've seen friezes on some buildings and always wondered how it was done, I used to build some walls and change their heights with "constraintfloorelevation false" but it was so expensive and unpractical... I'm sooo happy !!! :D
Back in 2011 I had no idea how the houses in Twinbrook are built :D took me all these years to finally understand!
I recently started playing TS3 and it honestly blew my mind. I started playing 4 when I was 11ish but it pales in comparison to TS3.
This makes me want to go back to The Sims 3 and try all the new tricks I've learned in this video :-o Awesome video.
The 'Create A Sim' for a newborn doesn't pop up for me, and it never has in all the years i've been playing :(
Definitely learned some tricks here! Thank you~
Happy to help!❤️
oh hey I've been playing this game since it came out and you managed to get a few I hadn't seen before, good work!
Thanks!
Amazing!!!
Thank you for this video
I'm such a sims 3 freak and still i didn't knew few things for example thing about foundations and babies lol
I've been playing since the pandemic and knew none of this! Had to pull out my notebook.
The adjusting relationships and job performance feels illegal to know. But adjusting the needs 1 by 1 has SAVED ME from "Make All Happy". Hated using that since it affected everyone. Thanks yooou😊
You're very welcome!
Okay with cheats and moodlet I know u can make friends faster and or moods with needs but I didn’t know u could do it with the work proformence
I love these cheats thank you

Wait what even job performance as well dang did not knew that
Has sims 3 has something like free window placement? And if so does it work on this foundations place on top of walls?
Unfortunately no, windows have to be aligned with the grid.
With friezes - I'm not sure. It's the best to check yourself with some smaller windows.
