Sunrise/Sunset Mod
« Reply #31 on: April 08, 2021, 06:29:28 PM »
Hi, I'm not sure where to put this so you can put it where ever  you think best Mrs Flynn. From time to time, I work on a challenge where my sims are stranded on an arctic island. There are a couple of  sunset/sunrise mods that go w/it. The first one called Stockholm is normal, but still modified to be more real w/sunrise at 3:30 am and sunset at 10 pm in the summer and each season has its respective sunrise and sunset times. The second one is called  Polar and mimics sunrise/sunset times in the North Pole. In the summer, the sun never sets and in the winter it never rises just like real life.

Thank you for sharing the lot mod, Sonshine. I merged it with the Suggested Mod List. :)

I think it's cool that you can modify the mod to edit the sunrise/sunset times.

Found another light mod to note...

Still -loving- the one I was given, but wanted to share the one I found while perusing Reddit. lol

Builder's Island
« Reply #36 on: June 19, 2021, 08:39:12 PM »
I wanted to save the link and share it too. Wasn't sure where to put it. lol

Bigger Builder's Island
– Info: https://modthesims.info/d/546927/bigger-builder-s-island-updated.html
– Direct Download: https://chii.modthesims.info/getfile.php?file=1500790&v=1422553676
– Zipped file to be extracted with 7zip (https://www.7-zip.org/). Windows does have a zip utility.
– To be copied into the Downloads folder - \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads
– Install .Sims3Pack via the Sims 3 Launcher.

 ----

It's island with no empty lots, just roads. You need to add the lots. It loads quicker than say loading up Sunset Valley to build in. Build your house or community lot, save it the library and then place it into your new play-save.

It's not CC or a Mod, but I'm adding it here anyway. I kept reading about it, but didn't think to look it up. Then tonight was reading through Reddit and saw someone mention it and share the link, so I grabbed a copy of it.

Click on images to see larger view

When installed correctly, the island should be found in the drop down menu.


Don't mind the silhouetted houses in the menu. Those are build saves. That I didn't remove before taking a photo. *Blush*

And look something like this, when you first load it.


There are no pre-loaded lots added to this island. You add the empty lots yourself.


Use the mod Any Size Lots to create lot size that aren't in the in-game world editor.

Add Any Lot Size
https://modthesims.info/d/471164

To use this mod type in in the cheat console:

AddLotSize width height

For example:

AddLotSize 60 60

It does load so much faster than any other town, but that's expected, as there's not much land space to the island. lol

Has anyone used the mod that has your family sitting and eating together? I have an island and a dining table and it seems my 2 don't like to sit together to eat.
I tried to d/l it yesterday but it's a .rar file and I don't know what to use to extract it.

I use 7-zip to unzip rar files. https://www.7-zip.org/ 

Download 7-Zip 23.01 (2023-06-20) for Windows x64 (64-bit):
https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2301-x64.exe

If you've already tried that, let me know the link of the mod you tried and I'll see if I can get it to unzip.
