Cookies for simmers XD
This post is prior to read before downloading something from wich have additional note: CC-packaged
So i have a huge amount of really nice patterns, objects, and other stuff wich were in packages and couldn't be decompressed into sims3pack by some special programs? but i use them much. Also due to that Sims 3 game has the same read\write-file technology* as Simcity 4 has, i compressed that huge amount into 6 packages only!!!
So here will be 6 links to this special packages. Those with "part" in the file name should be downloaded as all of them.
After
extracting you should copy all of them to specified folders. (except
for "Compressed_Store", this packages were made specially for russian
version of game due to some of the Store content not always work T_T, and it means that you MUST delete those store packages!!!)
Packages to the folder: ~/My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages/
Rescource.cfg file to the folder: ~/My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/
Compressed_Packages_03.package
Packages.zip (this package needed only for NYC-styled buildings)
This is the only way, the game will recognise the needed files for some houses.
* This technology means that if you have a lot of files in folder "mods", and size of all of it is about 2-3gb the game will be too slow, BUT (sic!) if you have like 10-15 files but the size of all of this is the same, the game will run faster. The Simcity 4 had DAT-packer program which collected all the addon files into some, or you could even create only one large file. The Sims 3 has such program too. It compress large amount of package files in some files of any size you want *you could change the size of resulting file, but due to DBC files are about 200-250mb, i also used this size*.
I can't find it!
Ok, so first off hi! I'm Paradoxia, I am a simmer like the rest of you. My favorite thing to do in game is build. I spend weeks on one house but then only end up playing it for a few days before getting bored and building a new one. lol. So, anywho. I am going to try my hand at designing some custom content. I am doing this because one, I can't find some of the things I want for a certain design and two, because I am uber jealous of all the wonderful creators here that get to see their items in game.
There is however one slight issue. My PC is not very good so I can't read the files they use to post tutorials. So with TSRworkshop and Milkshape 3D in hand I set off on my mission.
Wish me luck!

p.s. Any tips?
The Grey Wardens
Some history on The Grey Wardens.
"In war, victory.
In peace, vigilance.
In death, sacrifice."
-- Grey Warden motto
The Grey Wardens are an ancient organization of warriors of exceptional ability dedicated to fighting darkspawn in all of Thedas. They are headquartered in the very place of their founding, the Weisshaupt Fortress in the Anderfels, but maintain a presence in most other nations as well. The Grey Wardens are known for ignoring a recruit's racial, social, national, and even criminal background if they deem the person valuable in terms of character of ability.
Despite their small numbers, the Grey Wardens have been instrumental in defeating each Blight so far, and thus are vital to the survival of the world as a whole.
History
The first Blight had already raged for 90 years. The world was in chaos. At Weisshaupt fortress in the desolate Anderfels, a meeting transpired. Soldiers of the Imperium, seasoned veterans who had known nothing their entire lifetimes except hopeless war, came together. When they left Weisshaupt, they had renounced their oaths to the Imperium. They were soldiers no longer: They were the Grey Wardens.
The First Blight & the Founding
The First Blight occured in -395 Ancient (395 years before the Chantry calendar), or 800 TE (800 years from the founding of the Tevinter Imperium), a plague was unleashed upon the world. The Deep Roads, underground highways built by dwarves, were swarmed with monstrous creatures that became known as the "darkspawn". These creatures seemed limitless in number, and spread a taint that infected other living creatures, mutating them into monsters, and corrupted and poisoned the very environment around them. The cult of the Maker claimed this was the result of Tevinter mages entering the Fade through a ritual and attempting to usurp the Gold City, although dwarves and other non-humans discounted the theory. Nevertheless, this invasion of darkspawn -- named the Blight -- soon destroyed most of the underground kingdoms of the dwarves and spread to the surface world. Thedas was in chaos and entered a dark age. The darkspawn were found to be led by an immensely powerful dragon tainted with the darkspawn corruption; this creature was named an archdemon and believed to be one of the Old Gods worshipped by Tevinter.
In -305 Ancient (890 TE), after nearly a century of bitter war against the darkspawn hordes, a group of veteran warriors came together in Weisshaupt Fortress in the Anderfels, the western part of the Tevinter Imperium. They had somehow discovered the process of Joining, and employed it to found a brotherhood that cut all other ties, as a price, in order to dedicate themselves to fighting the darkspawn. They called themselves the Grey Wardens, and would accept anyone, no matter their race or background, without distinction if only deemed suitable to join the order.
The Grey Wardens first appeared on the battlefield during the attack on Nordbotton, arriving mounted on griffons, plunging into the darkspawn with each Warden taking on crowds of ten or twenty darkspawn at once. Incredible, they broke the horde and won the battle. They proved to be a desperately needed spark of hope in the darkest of hours, and quickly gained renown since. The Grey Wardens started receiving tithes, supples, and recruits from all lands; they grew, building fortresses and functioning as elite shock troops making quick and devastating strikes wherever darkspawn appeared, as well as rallying the mundane armies to greater deeds.
During the next 100 years, humanity slowly managed to stand firm and push back the Blight. Finally, in -203 Ancient (992 TE), the Grey Wardens gathered an allied army composed of soldiers from the Tevinter Imperium, the tries of the Ciraine (the lands that would become Orlais), and Rivain to confront the main darkspawn horde, led by the archdemon now indentified as Dumat. The massive battle was waged at the Silent Plains, in what is now southern Tevinter or nothern Nevarra: the legion of darkspawn was defeated and Dumat was slain by the Grey Wardens: with the archdemon's death, the horde's will to fight on was broken. It took several years to eradicate the remaining darkspawn from the surface, but the deed was done and the Grey Wardens had carved our their legend. After the battle of the Silent Plains, they were much celebrated and most nations gave formal promises of support for further darkspawn invasions. The Grey Wardens were also given the Right of Conscription to guarantee sufficient recruits.
*Right of Conscription - Should they need to, the Grey Wardens possess the Right of Conscription; they may demand that any individual from king to criminal be drafted into their ranks. However -- especially in Ferelden -- this right is used sparingly for fear of political reprisal. Further complicating matters, the Grey Wardens won't accept just anyone. Only the best and brightest are invited, regardless of race or social standing.
Hero of Ferelden - Background notes (The Blight)
Since my stories have an extensive back story behind them, I wanted to share. Hopefully after every story I post, I will post a blog afterwards with side notes & whatnot :) It's a lot of reading, and if you love fantasy & medieval lore, read on my friend!
The Chantry teaches that is is the hubris of men that brought the darkspawn into Thedas. The mage rulers of the Tevinter Imperium sought to usurp the Golden City -- the afterlife created by the Maker for mortals - but were cast out, twisted by their own corruption, only to return as monsters; the first of the darkspawn. The dwares hold no such beliefs; to them, the darkspawn simply appeared one day and have been their bitter enemies ever since, although it is suggested that some Dwarves (if not all) believe the humans are the reason for their existence.
The First Blight - After the corruption of the magisters, the first darkspawn awaken Dumat, the first among the Old Gods, as the first archdemon. Thedas is nearly overrun; the dwarves come near to extinction, leaving only Orzammar and Kal-Sharok. The first Grey Wardens appear, and Dumat is finally slain at the Battle of the Silent Plains in 992 TE. The Tevinter Imperium is left severely weakening, resulting in a barbarian invasion led by Andraste (Maker's wife).
The Second Blight - Zazikel awakens in 1:5 Divine and the second Blight begins, with the darkspawn coming out of the mountains in all corners of the continent. They slaughter the entire city of Nordbotten in the Anderfels before the Grey Wardens finally get the word out. The Free Marches and Orlais are hard-pressed to defend themselves, but the Grey Wardens and the armies under Emperor Kordilus Drakon I make the difference. Just over ten years into the second Blight, the Orlesians defeat several hordes of darkspawn, including the hard-fought victory at the Battle of Cumberland. As the Orlesians and the Grey Wardens share continued victories, the second Blight winds down to it's last battle in Starkhaven. Led by the Wardens, the human army destroys Zazikel and the darkspawn are routed for the second time.
The Third Blight - The Old God Toth awakens in 3:10 Towers and the third Blight erupts in the central lands of Thedas with darkspawn coming in greater numbers than ever before. Darkspawn swarm the Tevinter cities of Mamas Pell and Vyrantium as well as the Orlesian cities of Arlesans and Montsimmard. The Grey Wardens in both of these countries are able to quickly organize a defense, and despite heavy losses in the besieged cities, the darkspawn are pushed back. Darkspawn proceed to ravage what is a modern-day Nevarra as well the Free Marches, attacking cities along the Minanter River. Pressure from the Grey Wardens in Weisshaupt (Grey Wardens home base) convinces both Orlesians and Tevinter to unite, but consent to send aid to the beleaguered city-states. After fifteen years of conflict, the armies of Orlais and Tevinter in Hunter Fell and join the Grey Wardens in ending the Blight. Toth is destroyed, and the darkspawn are slaughtered in one of the bloodiest battles in history.
The Fourth Blight - The fourth Blight begins when the archdemon Andoral arises just as the Chantry's exalted march against the Tevinter Impreium ends. This time, the darkspawn appear in great numbers in the northeast and northwestern regions of Thedas. As Antiva is overrun, and its entire ruling family slaughtered, the darkspawn pour into the Free Marches and Rivain. Meanwhile, the Blight rises in the Anderfels once again, with the capital city of Hossberg coming under siege. Orlais and the Tevinter Imperium are attacked by fewer numbers and are able to drive the darkspawn back into the depths of the Deep Roads; despite these successes they send next to no aid to the devastated nations.
In 5:20 Exalted the elven hero Garahel leads an army of Grey Wardens and Anders to the city of Hossberg and breaks the siege. With his fellow wardens from Orlais and the Anderfels, Garahel marches to Starkhaven and forms an alliance between the minor kings and teyrns of the Free Marches. Under the banner of the Grey Wardens, this united army marches north, eventually freeing the nation of Antiva from the terror of the darkspawn in the battle of the city of Ayesleigh. It is here where Garahel dies, having personally defeated and slain Andoral in single combat.
So many darkspawn are slaughtered in the fourth Blight that it is considered certain that they will never return. This belief is compounded by rulers choosing to tell people that the Blight was forever defeated as a way to restore order. Despite the fact that the surface world would not see another Blight for 400 years it is continously felt underground by the dwarves of Orzammar, a fact that is largely ignored by most except the Grey Wardens.
The Fifth Blight - Where my story takes place
The Sixth & Seventh Blight - Since propechy foretells of 7 Old Gods, it is likely there will be only two more Blights.
My arm is starting to cramp -__- Well that's some background history on the Blight! More to come
Do you build to suit?
I've been trying to get the tiny lot out of my mind to little avail! I've started three homes recently, one is almost completed and ready to go. (Pics coming soon) None of them are anything fancy, at least in my mind, but I like them and I think that they suit the sims that I designed them for. So I ask you, when you build your homes do you already know which family is going to get them? Are you anything like me and you tend to create a few sims, play around with them, and try to get a handle on the neat little careers and hobbies the game has to offer before you fall into your normal role?
My current obsession is a gardener sim. I don't know why but I made her a gardener/author. She was the original intention for the tiny lot. Eco-friendly, Green Thumb, Angler, Natural Cook and Loves the Outdoors being the perfect combination for my "green" sim. As I build, geared towards other families, I keep coming back to her and finding I'm throwing in some "greener" options to these homes. I don't think the idea will ever leave my mind until I have built the home, so I'm not giving up. I'm hoping Generations treehouses and bunkbeds will give us the option of ladder stairs - it's an exciting prospect!
I guess I'm wondering a couple of things - am I the only whack job that builds with a particular family in mind? and is too much greenery a bad thing?
What do you think?
