A new mod by Clxng! Clxng mod notes: A conversion of The Sims 4 pregnancy test to The Sims 3.

Why does this mod exist? One special milestone for many during their pregnancy journey is taking their pregnancy test. This interaction was included in The Sims 4 and I thought it would be a great addition to The Sims 3. The ultimate goal was to add a lightweight mod that would allow players to use the interaction along with or without other mods to support everyone's playstyle.

What does this mod do? When sims have completed a WooHoo or Try for Baby interaction, a new interaction Take Pregnancy Test (§15) will appear to allow sims to take a pregnancy test. The actual interaction will be similar to using the toilet as normal with a pop up after stating if the sims is pregnant or not. The interaction will disappear after 24 hours if the sim has not taken the test. This is also when a sim will start showing and receive their pregnancy moodlet in the game by default, if they are pregnant.

FAQ There are other mods that add pregnancy tests. Why create another? Yes, there are a few different mods that have pregnancy test. Some great examples include MonocoDoll's Menstrual Cycle 1.0.0 & Mingos' The Birds and the Bees. Those are amazing and I fully recommend checking those out. This mod is a standalone pregnancy test without changing how pregnancies are determined.

There are a couple of packages, what is the difference between them? The file descriptions and titles should help select which one to add your game. They all use the same code and are just configured using an XML file. Guide to file naming: MF = Male and Female F = Female only TeensAllowed = Teens are able to use the interaction

Why can't I see the pregnancy test interaction? The interaction will show up if a sim participates in WooHoo or Try for Baby interaction or becomes pregnant and passes the gender and age checks for the version installed in the game. The interaction will only appear once, so if you have taken the test the interaction won't show up until the sim participates in another WooHoo or Try for Baby interaction.

What does this mod not do? This mod will not change how a sim becomes pregnant. Examples: this mod does not add teenage pregnancy or allow pregnancy through a WooHoo interaction. Those functions would need to be added by a different mod.

Does this remove the pregnany chime from the game? No, there are other mods that already do that. I've included one in the recommended mods below. If are using the chime, you can still use this interaction for storytelling purposes.

Recommended Mods Mods that I would recommend playing this with include:

Future Plans There would be potential to add a pregnancy test object and have sims go to the grocery store to purchase one before they take the test, but I like the simple nature of the mod in it's current state. Maybe a future add-on but no promises.

I'm messing about in Create-A-Style! And I'm having fun! 😀 I don't really spend much time in CASt, so I've forgotten about most of the patterns I had installed. This beautiful (massive!) set by Simming Berry Land is a good reason to get back into it and check them out. I've only just started looking at the furniture, there are many more things in the set! And they're all low poly! Every piece of furniture is lovely so far! And I can't wait to to try out the functional community items! And did I say they're low poly? (Yes I did, but it's worth repeating lol). 👍🏾 I don't know if it was intentional or it's just in my game, but all objects have a simple colour that loads in MISC, so you don't have to wait until CASt fully loads up for all patterns in a category to show up before you can recolour them. I'm very grateful for that because I have ALOT of patterns! lol It also means they're a nice blank canvas for you to use whatever pattern you want and they'll look good and seamless! I'm impressed how well everything recolours in CASt with some very bold patterns I've never used before. I usually use ReShade, but I toggled it off to see how they look without it. The shots are not edited, just cropped. This leather pattern is not one I'd use in most instances, but it actually looks really nice! I'd use it more on the bench, not so much on the sofa, I'll use a more subtle pattern on that lol.

Wood and wicker patterns can be a bit hit-and-miss sometimes, but every one I've tried looks amazing. Just look at the wood grain on the tables! I have a lot of patterns that don't have names so I couldn't tell you where they're from, but I'll be definitely looking for some more, especially stone and marble patterns. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!

This end table looks great with polished or grungified (it's a word!) metal patterns.

Thank you so much for a lovely set @simmingberryland 💜 Okay that's it, I have more objects to try out! Bye! 😊🙋🏾‍♀️

A new script mod by Eca! Eca mod notes:

Further Description As it's self-explanatory, the bulldozer button can be used to bulldoze lots without having to go to the town edit mode and evict the existing household from the lot for bulldozing. During the process, all Sims and pets on the lot will be safely moved right near the lot if possible. Any lot is available to bulldoze. Whether the active household gets money from bulldozing depends on whether they own or have rented the lot. If a lot is owned or rented by a household, that household will get the money. If there is an owner household, there will be an option to pack the existing furniture before bulldozing. Owned vehicles and graves on lots are always preserved whenever possible.  Owned vehicles will be sent either to the owner Sim's inventory or to the owner household's inventory, whereas graves will be sent to the owner household's inventory or to the mausoleum, otherwise, they get destroyed.

Notes The bulldozing process is undoable. Bulldozing is disabled in the preview mode of the blueprint mode. Despite that, if you place rooms from the blueprint mode and then bulldoze the lot, you may get a very low amount of additional money (like 1 to 10 simoleons) from bulldozing compared to if you have never placed the rooms in the first place. Depending on your computer, your game, and the active lot, furniture packing and bulldozing may take some time, though it usually takes a few seconds for a lot to be just bulldozed. Sims and pets get relocated to right outside of the lot, which is technically off the lot. Bulldozing a WA base camp will not give the active household money, whereas bulldozing an ITF base camp will. Bulldozing penthouses, apartments, and dormitories will give the active household money as well. If your Sims become invisible after bulldozing, use NRaas MasterController to reset your Sims, instead of the resetSim cheat.

A new script mod by Destrospean! You can now customize uncustomizable outfits! Destrospean mod notes: Requires Lazy Duchess' Mono Patcher

Allows players to edit and toggle on/off the outfits for the following objects:

Also allows editing the singed and skinny dipping towel outfits for each Sim (interactions available from a dresser).

None of the aforementioned expansions/store items are required for this mod to function; the objects from the add-on content not installed will simply not have the interactions available for their respective outfits (because those objects are absent from the game).

Editing and toggling on/off the outfit for each object is done for each Sim rather than globally.

A tuning mod by VirtualHugs!

Teen Sims now have a chance to learn about the teen hangout in town when chatting with another teen in person or on the phone!

Did you know that there's a mechanic in the game with which your teen Sim can learn the current teen hangout in town from another teen? Probably not, because silly EA set the chance to learn this to 0. This tiny tuning mod will enable this function in your game!

This mod edits the LotManager xml. It includes the following tuning:

Yes, looking good, phwoar! Now go and get your suit on! 😄 (Actually he looked better with the beard lol. Don't worry it will grow back! 😄)

The new and improved search pie menu mod from Arro!

Arro mod notes: This mod requires Mono Patcher to work! Description

Full compatibility with Tiny UI Fix is coming in v1.1, which I'm currently testing.

Installation guide If you use my UI Tweaks mod then please see this tumblr post Make sure that you have installed Mono Patcher • Download & unpack .zip, and place Arro_PieMenuSearch.package file in your mods -> packages folder.

Usage guide This mod is similar to Smarter Pie Menu mod for The Sims 4 • To search, simply start typing while the pie menu is open.

1. Searching for Interactions

• You can search using full words, such as “purchase,” “additional,” or “home.” • Partial matches are also supported. For example, typing “pur,” “ad,” or “h” will still display relevant results. • Even searching with multiple initials like “p a h” will return the correct interaction.

2. Selecting a Search Result

• If your search returns only one interaction, pressing Enter will automatically select it. However, if the interaction expands into more options, pressing Enter will not select anything to avoid unintended actions.

3. Keeping the Search Box Active

• The search box remains active at all times unless you manually click elsewhere. If you lose focus from the search box, you can easily refocus by: • Closing the pie menu and clicking the object again. • Clicking on the interaction that includes the ellipsis button (...).

Correction to my NRaas Master Controller Tutorial! (9th Feb 2025 - desiree-uk - Additional mods needed for filters and door-locking system!

GoHere v.45

Tagger v.5

Apologies to everyone! 😌 I forgot to list two more mods needed for filters and the door-locking system (I assumed everyone already had GoHere and Tagger installed!)

GoHere notes:

* Adds a slew of options to any door, gate, arch under Lock / Door Options.

* Enable/Disable Filters:

* Allows one to use the powerful filter system launched with Tagger on each door in the world to allow/disallow Sims access. * You can have multiple filters enabled at once if you wish.

Requires MasterController version 134+ to work. Both parts of the tutorials are corrected! PART 1 - Using NRaas Master Controller's Filters

PART 2 - Using NRaas Master Controller's Skill Stamps and Hotkeys

Using NRaas Master Controller's Filters, Skill Stamps and Hot Keys - Part 2

Skill Stamps and Hot Keys

This is part 2 of my NRaas Master Controller tutorial on how I use filters, skill stamps and hot keys! (Tumblr wouldn't let me have my fun and use more than 30 images on one post, so 2 parts it is 🤨)

Mods needed for Filters, Skill Stamps and Hot Keys to show up:

Master Controller v.135

Master Controller Cheats v.134+

(9th Feb 2025 - desiree-uk correction: Additional mods needed for filters and door-locking system (my apologies! 😌) GoHere v.45 Tagger v.5

Skill Stamps:

I use skill stamps to add a whole bunch of skills to a single sim or sims in bulk!

When adding a newly created sim to your town, they may not have any skills yet until you play them, but a skill stamp can quickly add some skills to them as if they were already played for a while.

MC Cheats Interaction: Skill Stamp> Add New Stamp

Allows the user to define a skill set to apply during "Advanced \ Skill Stamp". Once added, selecting one from the listing will allow you to specify the levels for each skill.

I want some sims to be able to have some basic skills such as cooking.

Click on Town Hall/Computer>NRaas>Settings> Skill Stamp

Add New Stamp: name the skill stamp (e.g Basic Skills).

The skill stamp is listed. Click on it and set the cooking level to whatever you want it to be. I have both the regular cooking skill and the hidden child-skill level, just because. I don't know. 😄

I maxed out the child skill to 3 and set the regular skill to 1.

I've set other skill stamps such as ones for artistic sims (painting, photography, writing) and outdoor sims (athletic, waterskiing, gardening, scuba diving, snowboarding, diving, windsurfing)

I also set one for sims who I want to be able to drive! We now have the 'Sims Need Driving Lessons' mod by the awesome Phoebejaysims! All sims (except NPCS) can't drive until they've reached the maximum level of the driving skill.

Of course you'd want some sims to be able to drive in an already established town, right?

I want my adults and elders to at least have the driving skill, even if some don't have a car yet.

Set a skill stamp for driving:

Click on Town Hall/Computer>NRaas>Settings>Skill Stamp

Name the skill to something driving related, e.g Sims With Driving Licence.

Click on the 'Driving' skill.

Max it out to 3.

Adding skill stamps to a sim with no skills:

Click on a single sim: NRaas>MC>Advanced>Skill Stamp

You see the list of my skill stamps. When I click on each one, all the skills under the stamps will be added to the sim all at once (you'll see the notices that appear in the top right hand corner pop up notifying you the sims have the skills.)

Check their skill panel to see all their added skills. The driving skill is hidden, so it won't show on the panel, but you can check the sim has it by checking their skill levels in Sim>MC>Advanced>Skill Level. It should show 'Driving: 3'

To add the skill stamp to multiple adults and elders, I'll use the filter I made earlier in Part 1.

Click on Town Hall/Computer>Sim>Advanced>Skill Stamp

The filter 'AGE: Adults/Elders' is listed.

Click on it to see a list of all the adult and elder sims.

From the list you can select some of the sims who you want to be able to drive or scroll to the top and click 'All'.

The Skill Stamp list will pop up - choose the 'Sims with driving licence' skill stamp. The skill stamp will be applied. As stated before, you won't see the hidden skill in the sims panel, but they'll be able to drive. You can of course check their skill level via MC>Sims>Advanced>Skill Level.

While you're at it, you can edit some of the selected sims driving skill levels according to whether you want them to do a driving test, theory test or have their skill maxed out so they can drive straightaway when you give them a car...

PJsims mod interactions notes:

Now you can make and add as many skill stamps to any single sim or multiple sims in a filter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hot Keys:

MC Interaction: Hot Keys

Allows the user to specify which interactions are to be shown directly under the "NRaas" menu

You can add any MC interaction to the uppermost level of the NRaas menu when you click on a sim, household or terrain as short-cuts, especially your most often-used interactions.

I added the 'skill stamp' and other interactions as hot keys so I can easily edit a sim when I click on one.

Click on Town Hall/Computer>Settings>Hot Keys

I added:

* Change Autonomy

* Reset Sim

* Skill Level

* Skill Stamp

Make sure 'True' is next to the interactions you want to see in the NRaas menu:

Click on a sim or the terrain and you'll hopefully see all your created hot keys.

See my screenshot - all 4 are there!

With the skill interactions you can quickly and easily set a sims skill level or add a skill stamp to them when you click on the sim in less clicks than clicking on multiple dialog boxes.

The other two are self explanatory, turn on/off a sim's autonomy and reset a sim.

Note: The more hot keys you add, the slower the pie menu will take to pop up, so keep that in mind.

If you still don't want to click so many times in the menu to find your interactions, you can use Arro's UI Tweaks mod (currently in testing, soon to be released - it's an excellent mod, I highly recommend it! 👍🏾) You can search the menu by clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the menu or press the 'F' key and type the interaction you want, using a full or partial word!

That's it! That's how I use filters, skill stamps and hotkeys. It will become second nature the more you use them and they can be as easy or as complex as you want them.

If you use them already, how do you set them up and in what scenarios? Share in the comments or let me know if I can add or explain anything! :)

Mods needed for Filters, Skill Stamps and Hot Keys to show up: Master Controller v.135 Master Controller Cheats v.134+

(9th Feb 2025 - desiree-uk correction: Additional mods needed for filters and door locking system (my apologies! 😌) GoHere v.45 Tagger v.5

Filters:

I use filters, skill stamps and hotkeys for various things, mostly to edit bulk sims, refine door locking options, set filters for parties, functions etc and add short-cuts of often-used MC interactions to the NRaas menu when clicking on a sim/household/terrain. Once you know how to set these, you can set as many as you like and use them in a lot of different combinations.

Here are a few examples on how I set them up, but you can name them whatever you like.

MC Interaction: Save Filter Prompts the user to save a custom filter that can be used for Sim queries.

There are already a lot of default filters for sim-criteria like Age, Species, Residents, NPC etc, but I want to set one specifically for Adult and Elder sims together so I can set door options and skill stamps for them (more on skill stamps in Part 2!)

Click on Town Hall/Computer>NRaas>MC>Settings>Filters Click Save Filter - Age - Adult and Elder Oh, also set 'Species' to Human otherwise all adult and elder cats, dogs, horses and the Grim Reaper will show up! I always forget that part. 😄

Name the new filter (e.g AGE: ADULTS and ELDERS) Click Accept ☑ Your new filter will show up in the list of filter criteria.

I only want these sims to use a particular door. You can use the EA door locking system to select sims you want to use the door if you want, but if you want more stringent rules, then the filters are better.

Click on the door>Lock…>Door Options… Click on 'Door Filter Type - Deny Click on 'Enable/Disable Filters' - 0

Click on the new filter you made earlier 'AGE: ADULT and ELDERS Click on it until it shows 'True'. Click Accept ☑

On the previous dialog box you'll now see the 'Door Filter Type: Allow' and 'Enable/Disable Filters: 1' You'll also see two new options 'List Sims Allowed Through' and 'List Sims Denied Access'.

Click on them to double check you have the right sims listed. ALL human adult and elder sims are showing up in the 'Allowed..' list. The 'Denied Access' list should show all the baby, child, teen and YA humans and pets. (Allowed: 1st picture. Denied: 2nd picture)

You can set any filter with as many different criteria as you want. When you set a filter with more than one criteria and you specifically want that sim to use the door e.g a YA female, with the charisma skill level 2, make sure to set 'Match All Active Filters' to 'True' (above screenshot) so only a young adult, female sim, with a charisma skill of 2 can use the door. If the 'Match All…' option isn't set, then any YA sim or any female sim or any sim with the charisma skill of 2 can use the door - it's more flexible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the next part, I'll be showing how I use skill stamps together with filters and hot keys!
