Frequently asked questions (TS3)
Please check this post for an answer to your questions before asking, thanks :D
1. Where can i find that hair?
- I will for the future leave a comment in the creator notes with a link to the creator of the hairs.
- On my sims you will always find a direct link to the hair in the creator notes, if the hair is not included in the download. You will then have to seperately download and equip that hair in CAS. I do use donate hairs and if you want it you will have to pay for it yourself. I will not in any way help aquire it for free.
2. Do i need the EP's you have for the sim to work?
- First off please read creator notes and make sure your game is updated. Usually it has no affect on the sim. I might use some clothes or hair from my EP's but if you dont have the same EP the items will simply be replaced and have no affect on the sim.
3. Do i need World Adventures for the sim to work?
- First off please read creator notes and make sure your game is updated. No you do not necessarily need world adventures for the sim to work. It is stated as a required EP because i have the EP. Same as above question applies.
4. The Sim does not look as pictured?
- Please read the creator notes to see what is included and what is not and make sure your game is updated. I do use skins for my sims. You can find the skin here: Skin by Teru_k
To be able to use the skin your game has to be set up for package files, here is a guide to help with this: Package file setup guide.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUIDE STEP BY STEP. If this is not the issue please PM me with the issue and i will check the sim and get back to you.
The Skin i use is non-default, this means it does not replace game skin and you actually need to switch to it for it to display on the sim. Heres how the skin should look like when installed: Ingame Skin.
Heres a picture of the difference with and without the skin: Skin difference, this difference can be more or less significant from sim to sim.
The sim is missing clothes, shoes, etc and it's not stated in creator notes?
I often use content from EP's like clothes, shoes and accessories and if you don't have the same EP's these items will be replaced by similar clothes from your game. When you download a sim you can check your launcher and you should see a yellow warning sign that says: "This item has dependencies on EP content that seems to be missing. The missing EP content will be replaced with proxies" if you hover over it.
5. Why are some CC not packed with the sim?
- As a creator at TSR i am bound to follow some rules when i submit a sim. You can read more about the rules here: Sims and Pets submissions requirements.
In short no CC outside TSR is allowed to be packed with the sim. Only TSRAA-yes CC is allowed to be packed with the sim (some clothes, accessories and most hairs on TSR is not). Lastly no package files is allowed to be packed with the sim. These rules has mainly been set to protect the downloader from faulty CC and game issues but also to respect the wishes of other creators here on TSR and outside TSR.
6. Where can i get those shoes?
- On my sims you will always be able to find the CC either in the tab: TSR creations if it is included or in creator notes. For other creations i can only say ask, and i will get back to you.
7. I can't find the Sim i installed?
All installed sims can be found in the CAS (create a sim) section along with saved Sims. If you can't find it there you should see if you can locate it in your downloads section of you launcher and see if there is any error. If you can't find it in your downloads you did not install it and should try again.
If you did not find the answer to your question here, feel free to ask on my creations, questbook or PM me :)
