  • Welcome to the 10th episode of The Sims 3 details and features series. Today we're taking a look at 22 epic details and features (wow, who would've guessed) that prove just how underrated this game is, at least from the details standpoint.
    Please note that some of these details (just like in all my showcase videos) require specific expansion packs to work. Also, if you know any cool The Sims 3 details, feel free to leave them in the comments down below. :)

    Some random knowledge 😉
    1.) If you right-click on the pattern swatches in CAS, they’ll be completely randomized on whatever category you’re on. So, if you’re on geometric you’ll get a wacky plaid or something. Useful for making a tacky Sim or finding inspo.
    2.) If you can’t decide on what shoe, shirt, hairstyle, outfit, etc, right-click on the icon at the top and it’ll choose for you
    3.) This one’s in build & buy mode: when you’re looking through the catalog, you pick the item you want, and if you look to the right of the pre-made colors, there’s a dice button. If you click on that, it’ll randomize all the assets of that item.
    Hope some find this useful. Keep Simming 💚

      Without mods, you can drag the swatch(es) from item A to item B in CAS, which will copy the swatch & texture of item A onto B. My favourite thing to do is to collect swatches from different pre-made houses, and add the ones I like to the library and use them in my home world.

    Late Night: if your sim is a celebrity and someone falsely or truly accuses them, they can 1) file a lawsuit at city hall, which costs money but can get more if you win the case. 2) bribe the journalist (business center) or 3) sweep the dirt under the carpet and take the case to another Sim in the city (you can choose who)

  • @ericcy2052
    @ericcy2052 Před 9 měsíci +2

    1. If you have a dog, you can take your dog for a walk in town or to a destination, and since TS3 is open world and real-time, where to take the dog to walk does affect gameplay.
    2. There are also hidden shortcuts in World Adventures sub-worlds, and these shortcuts are secret “lots” that are not marked on the map. For instance, there is a hidden passage way in Egypt in front the large tomb on the North side of the map.
    3. Technically, since the entire map is open world, you can play the entire game like a city building game, which adds a lot more gameplay details. For example, for those pre-made parks on each map, you can put a gypsy caravan on the lot, and the park will now function like a gypsy caravan rabbit hole, but your sim can still make money by purchasing the caravan. You can also change any lots to restaurants or other career related venues by placing the corresponding lot component from build mode.

    If your Sim has a romantic trait and they randomly turn on TV it’s always the romantic channel. It works for bookshelfs too, if they choose something to read it’s usually a romantic literature. I think it works for other traits but I didn’t try all the combination. Probably childish Sim always chooses kids show and books.
