Queenstown Pets Update - Free Sims 3 Downloads by Awesims!
Please read and understand all information below about the world before installing.

Hey guys!
Well here it is, after much stress and toil, I give you the updated Queenstown, with a new country area – Gibbs Valley (thats Gibbs as in Gibson, not gibs in the gruesome counterstrike sense of the word! That would be hilarious though…). Gibbs Valley is a place for your Sims to get away from the hustle & bustle of Queenstown, get back to nature, and spend time in seclusion.

This isn’t a massive overhaul of the town or anything, it’s just a small addition to enrich the functionality of Queenstown to keep up with the Pets EP.

As you drive through Gibbs Pass towards the valley, you’ll notice the scenery change from Alpine, the flora is a little less evergreen, a little more dynamic. There’s room for your pets to run around freely, with large lots perfect for farms, or for breeding horses. Speaking of horses, what better way to train them by taking them for a nice long nature walk up Opal Peak, to take in the breathtaking views of Queenstown from the top. You can also relax in the hot springs at the top, and if you’ve got kids and they’re not already worn out from the major hike up the hill, there’s a playground to keep them occupied while you relax.

Gibbs Valley also houses the Equestrian Centre, and a jumping park to build those horsie skills. Dogs and cats are not forgotten, there is a large, landscaped dog park and cat jungle next to the Gibbs Valley Shopping Centre. There really is no need to go into town if you don’t want to! Unless of course you have school or work in the town… Then I guess you should!

A few other things have changed since the last release of Queenstown.
I have named & numbered all the lots with street numbers, and I’ve included a handy map for your convenience. I have also upgraded a few lots to be a little more functional and/or aesthetically pleasing, for example the restaurant now has an outdoor eating area, and there is a small cafe type place (serve yourself of course) outside the grocery store/theatre. The fire station now has the missing fire alarm too (still can’t believe I missed that in the first edition). I also included my Family Fun Park that I released separately in the world this time, as my sims use it all the time and I figured I might as well!

I’ve built 2 new houses – both farm houses in the new area, but apart from that there are no new residential lots.

World Requirements and Custom Content:

Before installing this world it is recommended that you back up your save games and additional lots you might have, delete your world caches folder and uninstall the original Queenstown. This world is updated using the original Queenstown world as a base, and so I think the old world will need to be uninstalled before installing the new one. Make sure the old world file is removed from the “Installed worlds” folder too.

The EP and Custom Content requirements are exactly the same as for the original Queenstown.
The same CC objects that were attached to the Queenstown world file are the same, except they have been updated for pets if required. I have attached a rar with the fixed CC separately for convenience, which includes the rabbit holes made by Raven Shadow @MTS. If you have already got Queenstown installed and updated all your CC then you will not need to do anything, just install the new world. Please ensure you read all the information for old Queenstown as well.

See the required Store Content list at the original Queenstown page.

OK, well I think thats everything! I hope you enjoy the new additions to Queenstown :) I’m off to play it finally! As always, let me know if there are any major problems that can’t be fixed in your own.

(Also, I will work on updating my CC over the weekend. Its apparent that most people will have already fixed their CC so I’m not sweating it too bad, but yeah, I’ll endeavour to have it done at the weekend…)

Please note – Sims 3 Pets Expansion & Patch

Posted on October 18, 2011  |  Comments (23)  |  Banter, PSA

The Sims 3 Pets patch has pretty much borked a lot of CC, so until a solution is found and the files fixed please refrain from downloading any objects. I’ll let ya know when things are updated.

Edit, I see that TSR have released a batch fixing tool, and it is with limitations at this stage so I am going to hold off “fixing” things for a little while to see what happens. Of course you have the choice to fix any of my stuff that you have in your game already! No need to redownload uneccessarily :)

I have still not decided how I am going to handle my old downloads, because one of the limitations of the tool is that it creates files that don’t work on unpatched games and I know a looot of people (for whatever reason) don’t patch their games..

If you have suggestions I’m happy to hear them :)


Modern Designer Kitchen for The Sims 3

Awesims Modern Designer Kitchen - Free Sims 3 Downloads by Awesims!
Hey guys, hope life’s treating you well!

I know I said I’d never make a kitchen again because it really is a complete nightmare, but I saw a pic of one I really liked, and it was all over. So here we are :P

Its not a huge or particularly complete set (I didn’t bother with appliances, there are plenty of usable EA ones!) but it includes:

Kitchen counter;
Kitchen island counter;
Fridge surround (specifically made for my favourite fridge – the late night one, found in the wall cabinets section);
Wall cabinet;
Full wall cabinet;
A vertically shiftable wall mounted credenza (found in display surfaces);
A soffit that works as a wall cabinet (it has a corner piece included), plus a free standing version in case you wanted some sort of dropped ceiling or something, I dunno, I found it useful :P
A simple halogen ceiling spotlight;
A deco bowl of oranges (found in misc sculptures);
A craspedia (aka billy balls) plant in a vase (found in plants);
A 1920’s industrial style pendant light;
plus I included a separate horizontal and vertical version the wood pattern I made specifically for this kitchen.

Kitchen counters must be installed via the launcher as far as I know, but everything else can be installed as package if you so desire. I’ll leave conversion up to you!

If you encounter a problem where the counters name appears to be blank in the catalogue, or the corner or end pieces of the counters seem to disappear when connected to another counter, try restarting your game, and if that doesn’t fix it, try reinstalling the counters. There should be no issues with anything else!

I hope you have more fun playing with this kitchen than I had making it! Hahah :D

Curve Living Set for The Sims 3

Curve Living Set - End Table & Cat Deco - Free Sims 3 Downloads by Awesims!
Hey again everyone :)
I have another mesh set for you, and this time its for the living room! There’s a curved sofa – which looks like a 3 seater, but actually functions as a two seater… I honestly could not bring myself to mess around with RIG files, and it looks better as a 2 seater anyway, no sims sitting on uncomfortable cushion edges! Also included is a lovely simple & compact bar & matching barstools, my favourite floor lamp ever, a coffee table in both glass top and a solid wood, an awesomely bright red end table, a cute kitty deco (adler inspired of course!) and a requested sunburst clock to top it all off.

There’s a bit of a trick to the sofa. I made the pattern specifically for it, but when I applied it to the sofa the pattern was a little small. So I reduced the tiling so the pattern appears larger, and I added another variation with a smaller tile so small patterns look better on it. The original sofa I modelled this off was super fuzzy, had almost a fur-like texture, and I wanted to sortof replicate that but I also wanted to be able to have patterns over the fuzz if I wanted, so what I’m trying to say is there is in total 4 variations (on the same mesh of course), 2 fuzzy (with different pattern tiling sizes) and 2 plain (with different pattern tiling sizes). You’ll get the picture when you play around with it in game, its not as confusing as I seem to be making it out to be. I just like options :P

I also Made a few patterns to go with it, the pattern you see on the couch (which is Marimekko) I am including separately, plus a couple vintage Knoll upholstery patterns which I figured I’d share with y’all as well :)

Mid Century Comfort Bedroom Set for The Sims 3

Comfort Bedroom Set - Free Sims 3 Downloads by Awesims!
Hey guys! I have a bit of a bedroom set for you. Its a little odd, but it fitted what I needed and I think the set turned out pretty well.

You get a platform bed (with actual legs this time, not a solid base), which looks great by itself or with the headboard/sidetable combo dealie (found in Misc Surfaces), the curviest table lamp I’ve ever made (lol) a matching dresser, a super sleek diamond shaped mirror, a channel back armchair, some fabulous Japanese panel artworks, and a decorative fitted bedspread (found in Misc Decor). ~ Please note that the bedspread covers the entire bed, so won’t be suitable for normal gameplay. But it’ll look fab if you’re just into taking pics! ~

In case you’re wondering, I made the bed and headboard separate so I could have the maximum of options – slots for the tables, the ability to mix and match headboards for the bed etc. You will need to use moveobjects on to place it at the head of the bed. So there ya go :)
