Okay, I’ll admit it—I didn’t see this coming. I was looking for some backups to restart a The Sims 4 series, but my attention suddenly shifted to a long-lost folder from an unfinished 2022 project. That’s when I thought: “Heeey! This is the perfect opportunity to bring Pleasantview to life, especially after what we did with OldTown in the past few weeks!”
At first, I wondered: “ 2024-11-19 12:39:35 +0000 UTC View Post
It’s not uncommon, when encountering projects like this, to see players and creators striving to present the biggest and best version of Pleasantview, especially given how much affection we have for it. However, that wasn’t my goal here.
Taking a different approach, I aimed to recreate an experience similar to The Sims 2, intentionally leaving parts of the map less dense without plants and ensuring it is 100% base-game compatible. The design is simple yet functional.

Classic Sunset is my recreation of the Sunset Valley Beta, a nostalgic milestone for The Sims 3 fans. During the rebuilding process, one of the biggest challenges was redesigning the Rabbit Holes, aiming to respect the classic look while adding a fresh touch that enhances the essence of the base game.
These revamped Rabbit Holes have been carefully adjusted to align with the aesthetic of the original Sunset Valley, with a few improvements to ensure both functionality and charm. Every de...

It is with great enthusiasm that I present to you the most detailed and faithful recreation of Oldtown — a true tribute to the starting point of so many Sims players, now revived, renewed, and more captivating than ever!
This project was a fast-paced, intense, and ambitious journey. It all began with the question: "Is it possible to create an entire neighborhood in just one day?" Then I thought, "What if I did it in 5 hours?" And that's exactly what I did. In 2024-11-09 18:44:00 +0000 UTC View Post

It all started with 2024-11-01 23:02:58 +0000 UTC View Post
I’ve waited a while to share this with you and took advantage of every minute to incorporate and implement new pieces. I'd like to thank you for your support and enthusiasm—that's what kept me focused enough to bring another major building set for you! Read more about this set Here.

I've been working hard on the pieces to make sure they convey the right feeling while also making your lots even more special. In other words, some of the pieces I've made are being edited so they can convey the true rabbit hole feel.
We currently have 39 new pieces. In other words, the time I've been taking has provided an even greater variety of pieces. I appreciate your patience...

I'm very excited to share with all of you the next step of the Modular Build! While our first set focused exclusively on simple geometric pieces, our next set will be entirely dedicated to allowing you to rebuild Rabbit Holes with surprising accuracy!
What I've done here is isolate certain parts of these lots and extract them so you can build your own enterable buildings! The concept is simple but powerful!
Something important you need to know is that, since I still don’t know h...

I wanted to show you how the current frames can be combined with the new ones to create enchanting results! In this example, we see the OldSunset region, which I had shared before, but this time with the buildings colorized and pre-finalized in modular terms, now incorporating the new frames.
I'm creating Window Frames based on the Rabbit Holes from The Sims 3, and I'm also taking other elements from these buildings and converting them into modular frames, such as the frame on the corni...

This project began with a clear vision: to transform the way you view and build your spaces in The Sims. Over the years, I felt the need to offer more possibilities for those who, like me, want to pay attention to the small details and create truly unique and personalized builds. Molding, trims, cornices, and baseboards are often underestimated, but it’s these details that make a build special and memorable.
I wanted to combine the sophistication of traditional plaster moldings with t...

A few days ago, after failing to convert my set of Modular Build for The Sims 2, I started tinkering with shaders in The Sims 3. Eventually, I managed to restore the glass shaders used before the release of The Sims 3 World Adventures.
It's very likely that this expansion updated and added a greater variety of shaders to the game. The interesting thing here is that, while many people thought we would need to break shaders to get there, in reality, we just needed to modify them!

Some time ago (in March), I shared one of the last updates on OldSunset. As you know, OldSunset has always been quite an ambitious project! I believed that in the future, many of the limitations we faced in 2012 would be resolved. And indeed, many have been. However, even today, on a high-end PC, running a massive world with over 200 lots and a multitude of Sims is impossible without crashes or errors. ...

Well, if you’re from the 2009 era of The Sims 3, before the release of World Adventures, you definitely know all the things we had to give up to keep moving forward.
It was during this period and with this update that the shadow between floors was broken, but it wasn’t the only thing. The window reflections were never the same again. Although there was a faint reflection, it was far from what it was in the base game. I don’t kn...

Frames have the power to tell stories, convey messages, and beautify each place they adorn. Frames show us the delicacy, care, attention, and love invested in what we observe. However, it was extremely challenging to clearly showcase what was in our minds—until now. Although there are incredibly talented people who create art using the limited tools available in The Sims, this barrier is about to be broken. A set of simple geometric models is coming, and with it, a world of infinite possibi...

Reinventing how things work in The Sims 3 may seem simple at first. In theory, I thought that adjusting a gear here and there would make the game suitable for my best needs. However, when your ambition is to make them as credible and realistic as possible, things get more complicated.
