Where I can download other's CAS?

[Gladyy34]

Like Sims 4 got this whole separate section that is only for sim creations, I was wondering if there is any place for sims 3, which also got sims like pornstars etc.

[Omicr0n]

On this site there isn't a dedicated sub-forum for sharing S3 sims. They're just mixed into the regular download section, so you have to search for them. Here's some by JoshQ for example:

 

[landess]

I'll repeat this as long as I'm living and using this site:

 

'IF' someone can point me to specific instructions on how to save a Sim to share while keeping all the hair/makeup/etc. (much bigger file) on the Sim, then I would likely begin my own sharing post.

 

At first I was worried about creating duplicate CC in other's games until I realized players can add the Sim and if they don't want all that 'fu-fu' they can simply copy that sim (clone it) in CAS and then remove 'MY' version which will remove any extra/unwanted CC from their files - while keeping the basic Sim (slider settings) and any of the same CC that player and I may share.

 

If someone wants an example: Search for the Sim file upload created by a long inactive member named  DCSLAYSMARVEL

 

 

 

I use all these Sims myself as I wanted some Sims besides the default world Sims or my own to look at. (I spend too much time seeing my own, and the default potato faces wear me out)

I have the same problem. I've shared my Sims privately a few times, but I've had to create a zip file with everything needed for them to work (sliders, hairstyles, skins, eyes, cleavage, and so on). I'm not the author of any of these, and I don't know if I could share them publicly without breaking forum rules. There are so many that it's hard to remember where I got them or if they're even available. I also don't know if enough people would be interested to have them in their game.

I was curious and did a test - and it was working for me.
Went in CAS with the Sim to export and say "put the sim online" or whatever it says in English.
After the "finish" message in CAS you will find a Sims3pack file in the "Exports" folder.
Then I convert this sims3pack file with S3CE into a package file.
Finally re-named the *.package into *.sim and copy this file to the SavedSims folder.
All CC clothes, shoes, hairs, tattoos, the skin a.s.o are included in this *.sim file created.
BUT of course not the sliders may used on that sim. That is the only difference to the original sim of your game.
Mean also, such file can be huge !!!
Further I do not know if collision happen, in case there are CC come with the sim what you may have already installed in your mod folder. However, I experienced no trouble due to that so far.
Attached my test sim to try. The sim should look alike the picture, depending on your installed sliders. Used mostly clothes and the skin I modified and re-numbered. So, there should be no collisions at all with maybe installed CC you have.
Have fun !

How did yours compare in size to the one's from the download I linked?

 

For those curious, those custom Sims will include a combination of:

  Skins

  Hair

  Make-up

  Accessories

  Preset slider values

All the clothing is base game I believe but no custom CC clothing beyond Acc.         

 

Also in my experience the slider settings are the easiest thing to share as long as the downloader doesn't mess with them - the values should be constant unless CAS values are exceeded beyond default multiplier of 1. Setting CAS sliders to 2 makes the new top value high enough to accept most exaggerated settings.

I did not check that, but you can open the *.sim file with S3PE. If therein other tags than SIME, SIMO and SNAP, then this sim carry some sort of CC contend.

For my part, I only use *.sim without CC and those *.sim files are between 250 and 700 KB of size only. To my experience, if a *.sim file is bigger, than it carry some CC.

However, if you want, you can easily delete all files inside the *.sim file other than SIME, SIMO and SNAP with S3PE and modify in CAS this sim to your needs then.

 

Earlier I downloaded such ready-made sims from WWW. The biggest *.sim file is about 160MB of size !

All the CC used for the sim I upload - clothing too - is included in this file. Think the game routine include all stuff into this sim, what is not part of your installed original game to make it ready to share as a *.sim3pack file.

Setting CAS sliders

I use only slider setting 1 and the *.sim carry all slider settings. But the question is, if one have all those CC sliders used installed in the game.

 

 

Finally, I do NOT let such *.sim files in my game anymore, because all the CC what comes with such a sim is available to use in game for others too. So you lost the overview of your CC in your game. (if you later delete such *.sim, it affects all other sims, where you used CC of that deleted sim. Mainly I used some skins from such a ready made sim for others, and after deletion I wondered why suddenly some sims had this black skin 🙂 ) 

[landess]

Well, I guess the way DCSLAYSMARVEL was able to keep the .Sim files small will forever remain a secret for now.

 

I just tried again and my file size is around 230MB while comparing that to the Jennifer Kinsey.sim which is 21.2MB in size is a problem going forward.

 

I used the naked outfit on all selections (which includes the custom default replacement bottom by CHBoom! which I cannot find a download for on this site for some reason), Custom skin, Bloom's foot replacements, Custom Hair and some CC make up.   EDIT: Accessories include more eyelashes, fingernails and toenails.

 

Anyways, to go forward with this process for now I'll upload my version of Emily Browning as described above and any feedback on the appearance in other's games compared to the screenshots included is very important. If that ALL goes well, there will only be one remaining piece of the puzzle.

 

(I'm likely going to post in the Sims 4 section for some help as many players went to that game and some may have the knowledge I seek)

 

So here we go:

 

Emily Browning.7z

 

Remember this isn't a 'mod'.      .sim files must be copied into the saved sims folder in the main Sims folder (Documents) that contains everything. Remove by deleting.

 

 

 

 

Things to consider: Allowing more than one makeup per slot (Master Control/CAS settings)   I tend to use multiple eyeliners/eyelashes and costume makeup FYI.

 

Good luck - let me know how it goes. As mentioned - if she looks as she should in your game, then shrinking the file size is my next concern - it may be possible the Replacement Bottom is affecting the size some but when custom hairs being included on both mine and DCLAYSMARVEL's are known to be rather large files in themselves - I just don't see how it should be such a huge file size difference when all is said and done.

 

Let us crawl so we may walk and even run someday.

 

As for future worries - I cannot upload any sims without the bloom's feet or replacement bottoms as those ARE in my game and I'll not be removing them. Slider adjustments I made are not exaggerated and should be fine in your game. Just like the custom sim families created by EA to populate their worlds.

Needed to mention accessory CC included

[landess]

I thought I'd do something just to 'see'.

 

The above option was made using the In Game Export Function, changed to a package file as explained by @Clydie, renamed to a .sim file and then compressed for upload using 7z.

 

I then saved that sim to the saved sim bin in CAS and then took that incredibly small file from the saved sim folder - compressed it the same way and decided to share it as well.

 

I have no idea what she will look like this way . . . 

 

Emily_Browning sim save file from bin.7z

 

size 515kb

 

 

Edit: For those whom may worry: The base Sims install doesn't care about your CC. Only the saves made using them does. You can place and pull any CC at will and the game will load just fine. When you choose a save and the game goes to 'build' that world and populate it - the instructions for that will include any CC that may have been using when it was made. Most times a substitute will be used for missing references when it's only object CC. Script based CC or other core based mods if missing can cause that save to not function.

To include a disclaimer for different types of CC use and how it could affect your experience.

[landess]

I've done heavy searching and the only thing I could find was S3rc from MATY.

 

Using the -r command on the .exe to enable recompression only changed the files size from 230MB to 227/225MB depending on if a .sim file or a .package file.

 

Still hoping for the best.

Had a look to Emily. 

 

1. The small file came out as I expected. All stuff I do not have in my mod folder becomes replaced by the game : Standard hair, black skin aso. But with a few clicks one can make it nicely looking in CAS.

 

2. The big file : Once you export the sim out of the game, the game can nothing else do as implement the whole packages used for this sim. The function is like a merge of all stuff used for that sim. So far so good, but what bloat this file then is mostly the skins.

In the Emily case - and just for fun - I extracted the skin out of the 230MB file. So you used a 4K full package skin what contain separate skins for cf, tf, af, ef, tm, am, em aso. 

This skin you used is one of the biggest skin files I ever saw 🙂. This extracted skin package alone have a size of 220MB !!!

 

So if you like to shrink the sim package, use the standard skin and only mention the skin file you used for. But, the sim file can be still large, depending on all CC (clothes, shoes, hair aso.) And still, if one have -by chance- some of the CC already in the mod folder, then it may cause problems because it is twice installed in the game.  You lost the overview of your installed CC -and that is why I do not let such sim files in may game anymore.

 

To share a sim in sims3 is always a crux. Even if you used the standard skin and stuff what comes with the game, then it depend on i.e. what the one who will use it have installed in regard to the SP and EP's and  used sliders.

So all the slider values remained as they should be? Body shape, and facial changes?

 

I can live with that. 

 

I'm not about to get into creating a list of stuff I use as it's long, with sources mostly unknown at this point and add that many links are broken now compared to years ago, plus I get no benefit from that hassle.

 

I can always do the same thing - a loaded version and a basic version. Of course changing the skin is possible, but I also have a default replacement as should anyone using nudity. Once enough things are removed from a download - the illusion I create evaporates leaving a stripped down version that would be questionable when compared to the image which garnered attention to begin with.

 

If you could my man, upload a shot of Emily as she sit's in your game so a comparison can be made - that part is IMPOSSIBLE for me unless I jump through a bunch of hoops which I would - if I was 'selling' them. This is just for fun and people love free stuff.

 

I'll mull it over after seeing your version of Emily and then make decisions. I do have so many Sims, and apparently some people don't like CAS or have little patience with it, giving me 'some' motivation to do this.

 

 

Edit: Before even leaving this post it occurred to me players could download say - one loaded sim - for the extra skins, makeup, etc. and then apply those new CC to other 'Basic' versions they download. As for Sims 'controlling' you CC - I consider them CC and like the DCSLAYSMARVEL uploaded Sims = I use the extra content on many other sims in many other saves.

 

I understand this type of 'control' doesn't suit you and like a doctor - prefer your install to be sterile with everything in a particular place. My install is a bear cave - enter at your own risk!

I have some duplicate 'Icons' in my CAS options. It doesn't bother me. Nor does it affect the game. They are just copies with a different reference ID's - Imagine the Sims 4 where you have no CAS and have to download multiple copies with different colors . . . .

Actually yes. But it depends on the sliders one have installed, I think. I have around 120 sliders installed, so all or most of the shapes should be there.

Hey guys!

 

 I'm curious about this as well. I've just recently come back on here after a looooong break for the holidays and stuff. Apparently had some request messages for my sim girl creations used in the Adult Movie Poster pack.

 

I'll try the stuff mentioned in this thread, see how it comes out.

 

If anyone wants a specific girl from my regular cast of Mr. Denison's beauties, let me know which and I will try and prioritize her first.

As promised here what I found. Modified the base Emily (small sim file) in two versions. One with my installed sliders and one with the sliders disabled.

Exported them with CC and put them with some pictures and a txt file with some more info in one ZIP file. 

Much hope it is that what you would like to see.

If you don't mind, just prepare your sim from the first picture. I am curious to see the result in my game.

Out of curiosity, I opened up the .sim file you uploaded with S3PE. Then I selected all the resources in it and set them all to Compressed in the Resource menu and saved it as a new file. It is definitely not small, but it did shrink down to 137MB that way.

To be honest - now that I 'look' at it, I have no idea but it must be similar to this:

Sims3Pack Multi Installer.7z

 

I place this in a folder and then change each Sims3pack into a .package file. The .package file will keep the name of the Sims3pack if you do it one at a time - otherwise they all assign numbers as a batch process (I guess that is useful if you just want to then turn them into a merged file with S3PE) keeping the '3packs' for an archive instead of individual packages. I keep the .packages and dump the packs.

When I went to MATY to try and figure out how to use S3rc. I know better than to post when the answers are somewhere, but most information seemed to assume the reader had some advanced knowledge. I say this because many of the posts mentioned a significant decrease in size where my results were somewhat pathetic. Yours how ever are pretty damn good. Yet when I look at the custom sims from DCSLAYSMARVEL with custom skins, hair, makeup, and accessories (slider values are a given) having less than 25MB size - I cry . . . 

[FreakyRufus]

@landess this may be helpful: https://simblr.cc/ts3/mod/7154-sims-3-easy-extractor-merger-tools.html

 

I just now found it, but haven't tried it yet. It seems to have two separate programs. One that extracts and splits up things, and one that combines CC to make your start times faster.

 

For the extractor program, the description specifically mentions separating out CC from saved sims.

 

Quote

Extracts any CC merged with a Sim file into a separate package file so you can easily delete it if you don't need it.

 

EDIT:

Hmm. Maybe I got too excited, too soon. I tried it with the 260MB sim file you uploaded, and the only thing it extracted was a thumbnail image of the sim.

It is a tiny but handy tool from MTS. Unfortunately I do not find it there anymore. Think it will not hurt to load it up here for you.

I have configured in a way, that if you right click on a *.Sims3Pack flle then you see an option "Extract with S3CE". Assigned a temporary directory in which the extracted package becomes written. Nice and simple !

Edit : May be it helps when I additionally add the PDF of S3CE which I downloaded 6 years ago....

 

@landess

Again about the size of the Emily file : Extracted again the included skin by using Cmars Skinator, gave them a new name and made a screenshot of the contend. (pic 1)

I stated it already above, only this skin have a size of 220MB.   All the compression can not shrink it to an acceptable size. It needs to get rid of the -for this sim- not used skins, especially when you want to use an UHD 4K skin. But this mean, you should have a acceptable skin package available what covers the gender and age of this sim only. (pic 2)

As per requests, this is my FIRST EVER very creaky attempt at sharing a Sim.

 

Please be gentle.

 

We start the guinea pig testing process with Sara!

 

Let me know how she turns out in your game. If this works, I will refine the process and share more sims!

Thank you for providing Sara.

Did a short test in my game. The Sim came out as of your pictures in my game too.
All your CC have been found in the game, skin, hair, clothes, tattoos, body accessory a.s.o. All fine and as per your intention I think.
But the sim is petty heavy in terms of the sliders used. So, in my game it looks a little strange about body shape.

Some sliders affect more or less the alignment of the character in the in game animations. First of all the sim height slider (lower body height let the sims i.e. sink into the ground or bed. Calf, butt, waist and some other sliders can create such misalignment too.
Maybe we have different slider packages in place and may some of the sliders you use I do not have installed. But this is one of the basic problems in Sims3 when sharing a character.

However, after some slider adjustment, your Sara turns out good in my game.

Cool, thanks Clydie. I now know a little more, I'll have to make the sliders package more explicit in my readme when I put out a formal download for everyone. I think I have some custom slider settings in Master Controller Create-A-Sim section. I assumed (never make assumptions lol) that if everything was included in the sim file the settings and sliders would be too? Oops.

 

Anyway, the SlutQueen looks great in your game. Enjoy her starring in your own sim's private movies. That Georgia Peach loves a challenge!
