She looks a bit like she is staring at him until he notices so she can tell him about this REALLY INTERESTING article she just read xD
LOL! Well, that sounds like something I would do! Heehee 😉 The back story is she thinks he's hot and she was trying to flirt with him but he wasn't interested and he walked away (he already has a partner) She finds a nice quiet corner to read her paper, He comes along with a book and sits right next to her! I laughed so much when I saw her glaring at him as he sat down while still holding up the paper, like she couldn’t believe what she was seeing lol. She's was either thinking 'Of ALL the empty seats you could've sat in, you chose the one next to me!' Or 'Oh, okay. So this is how you wanna play it?' :D
I wanted some grotty looking posters for my current save, something different from my usual bright and colourful images. So I threw these together today. I changed them to Simlish except for the Russian Robot poster as I didn’t want to mess it up by trying to convert Russian into Simlish!
As you would expect, I am sharing these publicly to help highlight @sims3hasstoppedworking‘s dreadful situation, being the sole carer for her mum who has terminal cancer. Your generosity helps Eve to be able to buy and pay for what they need at this extremely difficult time for them, in a country that has a really brutal health system.
1.) Donate to Ewa’s PayPal or Polish Crowd Funding Site. A little goes a long way!
2.) Reblog Ewa’s post about her mother’s situation to help spread the word
3.) Send Ewa and her mother a message of love, support, encouragement
Also, check out @ccforsims3hasstoppedworking for the other Sims 3 and Sims 4 CC that has already been shared and for update posts on Eve’s and her mum’s current situation.
Thank You! 💜
Fantastic! Thank you Nina :)🖤

Ooh, I was looking forward to these lovely trailers! Thank you, Nina 🖤
I made these posters to help raise awareness of Ewa’s (@sims3hasstoppedworking) fundraising for her mum’s cancer which you can read about HERE. Eve has been a mutual of mine on here for a few years and she is also a friend, which is why I am doing this. Just over 11,500 Złoty (PLN) has already been raised, out of a target of 20,000, so things are heading in the right direction! 💜
Whether you like/ download these pictures or not please consider helping out a fellow Simmer as we celebrate the beginning of a new year by supporting Eve- either by donating via her PayPal, re-blogging the post about her mum’s terminal cancer to make people more aware and/or by sending her a message of love and support.
The mesh is base game but the amazingly generous @baufive improved the overlay etc for me to improve the quality significantly and I hope that you will also appreciate the time it took to edit these images and make them Simlish (so please do not use it for your own paintings or convert to Sims 4 without asking permission).
Both package and Sim3Pack formats. I hope you like them.
🖤 These are so striking, I love them! Thank you Nina :) 🖤

I was waiting for these! Thank you, Nina, they look amazing! 🖤
I have been working on some new Simlish Retro travel posters as my previous set (HERE) was quite well received. This first follow up set (there will be more ;p) uses posters by Harry Rogers for Qantas Airlines because I think they are adorable!
This is a New Year gift but I also made them to help raise awareness of Ewa’s (@sims3hasstoppedworking) fundraising for her mum’s cancer which you can read about HERE.

They are §8 and found in Decor > Wall Decorations
It’s the boy’s turn! I made these paintings last year after > THIS SET < when someone asked “but where are the mens?!” XD
It should be noted that I did try to find art representing Black men by Black artists- but it wasn’t easy. A lot of the stuff that came up when I searched for Black men in art were of slaves or servants and other stereotypes (yes I know painting 2 is probably supposed to be a pimp but the painting is so good and he looks so freaking cool I couldn’t resist)… so the pickings were thin. As a result I did use 3 photographs and tried to make them look like paintings to make the set a little bigger (painting 4, 6 and 13). I never shared them publicly at that time. (For those I have already shared these with I have reduced the file size and compressed it so feel free to replace them with this version).
They aren’t perfect but I hope you like them because I have decided to share them to continue to raise awareness of Ewa’s (@sims3hasstoppedworking) fundraising for her mother’s cancer which you can read about HERE.
Please consider helping out a fellow Simmer by supporting Ewa by donating via her PayPal. Please help Ewa give her mother a pleasant and stress free time as the New Year approaches 💜
(THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR DONATIONS SO FAR! IT REALLY HAS HELPED MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!)
*credit to @baufive for the painting mesh- thank you 💜*
Men! 🖤😍
Thank you, Nina! 🖤
I made these back in June as a private birthday gift for Sims3hasstoppedworking as I thought they would fit well in the home of her legacy of “The Failures”. However, she never got the chance to put them in her game because things have changed a lot since then… her mother is terminally ill with cancer.
Ewa made a post about it because she needs help raising some of money for both essential things like medication and additional things like nutrition drinks, a mattress, supplements etc that will make her mum more comfortable, as the Polish health system is brutal.
You can read her post HERE (which has a link to her Paypal) and if you click the link to the Crowdfunding site you can see that she has provided the appropriate documentation to prove credibility of her situation. If you check her blog you will also see that it is more or less a relentless list of hospital admissions and prescriptions and posts about how Ewa and her mum are repeatedly let down by their health system.
I know things are pretty dire on here with all of the changes Tumblr wants to make and people are angry and distracted. You might not like or want these posters or even if you do you might not want or be able to donate- that’s OK. There is no obligation to do either. I just want to try to help my friend make her mum more comfortable, so any donation (no matter how small) is appreciated.
(Credit to the wonderful and generous @baufive for massively improving the quality of this simple base game mesh 💜)
These are so cool! Thank you, Nina :)
Just need to say a BIG thank you to @desiree-uk for her post on Nvidia graphics settings- it has made a huge difference! To me anyway! I don’t know how this looks to all of you???
(Top one is only re-sized and framed, the bottom has a photoshop action applied)
Ooh, the pics look great! I’m glad my Nvidia settings are useful to you, Nina 🖤(and others!)
mspoodle1 replied to your post “What the crib?! Finally!!”
Oh I remember this. I used to have that mod installed and it caused issues way back when. I took it out. The only ones I use from Twoftmama are - always eat at the table, auto. potty training, don't eat from inventory, fish don't die, no auto bar drinks-computer games or chat-play in ocean-view objects, no child curfew (teen), and play with sprinklers all child only.
@mspoodle1, Ah, so this problem was more popular than I thought lol. I wonder what other issues that mod has been causing I didn't know about? If I can somehow keep the 'comfy seating' part of it and not the 'routing' part, that would be good because that part does work :) I think I have all those mods from Twoftmama lol.
ninjaofthepurplethings replied to your post “What the crib?! Finally!!”
YAAAAAYYYY! Oh gawd I am so happy that you figured it out! Stuff like that drives sends me over- I hate when things are wrong in my game so I am genuinely so happy for you! *mwuah* and also *squishy hugs* and also ������ I think you should go and install a ridiculous amount of cots to celebrate!!! XD
@ninjaofthepurplethings, I know, it’s soo frustrating to not have the game work the way you want because of missing an update or not knowing something that now seems so obvious! LOL, I’m way ahead of you, I’ve installed lots of cots! 😜
simsarahsarah replied to your post “What the crib?! Finally!!”
Wow! You took out ALL your mods and tested them in batches of 10? That must have taken you AGES, knowing how many mods you have lol! Haven't you heard of the 50% Method? ;-) http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Finding_Problem_Custom_Content
@simsarahsarah, LOL, I knew you'd have something to say about this! I did slightly exaggerate on the number of mods I have, it's not 'many hundreds', probably about 250, give or take. Remember I had a big clear out of my mods some time ago? :) I actually didn't think of the 50% Method way! whoops lol Anyway, I didn't mind how long it took (a day and half a night) because I sorted them out in types and concentrated on the mods to do with toddlers, babies, beds, cribs, blankets etc, anything that might've been related to this problem. It was only when @mspoodle1 mentioned routing, it got easier :) Plus, I also got to do another cleanup along the way, so more mods were thrown out lol. Silver lining and all that ;p
I know how you feel- I sometimes ignore things in game for a while until someone kicks me up the bum! I'm pretty sure that it's going to be a mod issue so testing them in batches sounds like a good plan. Fingers crossed you figure it out! Keep me posted!
Yay, I found out which mod was causing this problem just this minute! LOL Yes, I did take out all my many hundreds of mods and put them back in batches of 10 and it turned out to be this mod from Naughty Sims Asylum: Sit On More Comfy Objects and Better Routing for Game Objects Update 8-12-14
I feel so silly for not updating a mod for 4 YEARS! I can’t believe I didn’t see the post where Blue actually mentioned the crib glitch, someone reported it on NRaas apparently. How did I miss that??
Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was me and I just forgot LOL
It’s all based on this one part of the GameObject xml:
<kAutonomyMultiplierForObjectSelectionWhenInUse value="0.1"> <!--When object is in use, autonomy will multiply the score to pick this object by this factor. Positive float between 0 (do not pick object in use) and 1 (object in use should not effect autonomy).--> EA Original Value: 0.2
Blue said:
‘It was reported to me over at the NRaas site that this mod caused problems when a sim was trying to do an interaction with a baby that was in a crib. In order to do an interaction with a baby that was in a crib, you would first have to have the sim "hold" the baby and then you could do the interactions. Through testing, I found the problem that was causing it and fixed it....’
That’s exactly what I was dealing with for 4 years! lol The original mod had the value of ‘0′, so Blue changed it to ‘0.1′ :)
I’m just happy I can finally have cots in my game, and still keep the mod because it does make sims choose better chairs to sit in. It’s just so odd that it was this particular mod that was the problem, because it’s not so obvious. Thanks to @mspoodle1 for mentioning a possible routing mod because otherwise I would never have paid any attention to it lol.
Thank you Nina for your help, you are a sweetheart! 🖤
Tehani is taking good care of Kurt :D
🖤 So cute!
Hey Nina, does Tehani take Kurt out of his cot autonomously? For the longest time (years, actually) I’ve never been able to get sims to autonomously interact with babies or toddlers while they’re in a cot, I’ve had to direct a sim to take them out of one. The baby would just sit in it, starving and weeing itself, while the parent is hovering over it to pick it up. The action is queued, so it obviously wants to get him out, but something is stopping them. Unless I click on the parent to do something, nothing happens. I don’t know what the glitch is, whether it’s a mod or some cc. Do you or anyone else have this problem or have any idea what the bug is? I would love to have some pretty cots in my game but since they don’t ‘work’ I don’t bother install or use them lol
I just popped into my game and Leilani autonomously put Kurt in the crib (I had actually directed her to check the mail but she had other ideas clearly) so I definitely don’t have this issue. Kurt looks pretty chuffed about it.
Can anyone help the delightful and gorgeous @desiree-uk with this issue? Anyone know why her Sims can’t autonomously interact with babies/ toddlers in the cot??? 💜
Nina!!!🖤
Ah, this cot thing! It’s doing my head in, seriously! lol.
I’m in game now (new game!) testing things out again, really paying attention to every detail this time and its very weird! So frustrating! The toddler can be picked up and put IN the cot when he’s sleepy, so it doesn’t seem to be a cot problem because the kid doesn’t get reset when he’s in it. But when he wakes up, he just sits there. When he gets hungry or soiled, no other sim attempts to go and attend him. I direct Mum to go to the room, thinking she’ll autonomously go to him. She goes to the spot where I sent her and then stops. The kid is crying and having a breakdown, starving and dirty. Mum doesn’t move, but she’s not stuck because she’s idling lol I noticed that the thought bubbles of the toddler crying doesn’t pop up from the other sims - I used to see them all the time! I don’t see the reactions any more. If I direct Mum to pick up or hold the toddler, the interaction continuously cancels itself. If I save the game to close it, it saves okay but it crashes before exiting - and this always happens during the baby crying/parent interacting dropping out of the queue scenario.
This has been a problem for so long I just got use to it and left cots out of my game, but I really miss them! And now I know for sure it’s not happening to other players (I actually thought it was a common problem due to a patch or an expansion or something!) It’s the kick up the bum I need to get to the bottom of this problem once and for all! (Haha, see what I did there? 😋)
I guess I’ll have to go through every single mod and custom content now *sigh* I may even have to reinstall the game from scratch! *shudders* lol
Thanks to everyone who replied to Nina’s query for me (see under the line :)) Your answers are very helpful, it will be easier to know what to look for 🙂
