My settings file is linked in the description, simply place it in your Documents/Electronic Arts/TS3/Library folder (if you don’t have one, make it). You can then import this settings file in-game with my how-to at 1:33:01! 👉 NRAAS Story Progression video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prhonpho06_Ne2Q.html 👉 EDIT 9/21/21: A lot of people have been mentioning that, when importing my settings, their game crashes to a black screen. THIS IS BECAUSE OF NRAAS CUPCAKE. I discovered if you do not currently have the Deliciously Indulgent Bakery in your game, it will instantly crash to your desktop. I'd recommend avoiding NRAAS Cupcake, as I believe you can still import my settings no problem without it.

I'd add Nraas Relativity. You can scale down in-game time so, when you wake up in the morning, you can shower, make food and eat it comfortably all withing 1 hour game time.

Just getting back into the sims 3 after I’m sick and tired of the sims 4 updates and bugs. This is an absolute life savior! Thank you so much for not only going over your settings but for uploading them so we don’t have to tirelessly change everything ourselves. Absolutely a game changer. Love your videos and lets plays! So glad someone is still actively playing this wonderful game. ❤

Thank you. Finally someone made something I can use. I really hate the fact that most people are just like INSTALL THIS ESSENTIAL MODS and they won't tell me what they do. Briliant work.

Me as soon as this video started: Write that down WRITE THAT DOWN! Seriously thank you so much! This was an extremely helpful video and now I have some more mods to download and know how to use my existing ones better than before.

this is amazing! as someone who literally has never used mods before this was a huuuuge help, thanks so much!

For anyone struggling with lag like I was, as well as these mods, merge your cc! I was skeptical of losing some of my cc during the process, and it's why I put off doing it for so long - I got to a point where the game was lagging so badly that I was straight up just not playing anymore. I cannot stress enough how much it helped me out, and fixed the lag. I have upwards of 13GB of CC so it did take a little bit of work to do, but it's so worth the time you take to do it properly. The only bit of advice I'd give to people is to not merge script mods as they can break during the process, and to avoid merging things like kitchen counters as they've been known to cause issues too. Other than that; I advise taking the plunge.

I think that Nraas Traffic is important, too. Fewer Food and Ice Cream Trucks, Disallow Performance Career Limos (they can get stuck), reduce Traffic Delta by like -500 which reduces lag noticeably.

i felt so overwhelmed trying learn nraas on my own and gave up. but since watching your videos, i'm having so much fun playing with the mods now. thanks cotton!

Currently watching this for a second time and scribbling notes. Your channel has quickly become a favorite of mine and I'll have to finish binging your lepacy vids and livestreams after I finish rewatching this!

This is the most detailed and instruction-given tutorial I have ever had. Thank you so much darlin.

"just listen to it on x2 speed" well that's a sub from me!

Mate you're a damn legend, only content creator with relevant mod content on youtube, thank you so much for these vids, I'm getting back into TS3 modded and you're a huge resource I rely on.

I've ALWAYS wanted to be able to use mods and have always been too scared to try it just in case I mess something up or corrupt something so this is so so so helpful thank you!!

Go Here > Care Givers > Allow Babies/Toddlers To Be Home Alone. You can walk off your home lot and a babysitter will be summoned without that annoying prompt.

Bless this game and it's wonderful community. Videos and comments sections like these are the reason I'm still playing TS3.

Fantastic job! You're straight to the point, unlike various other videos showcasing the features. And it's all condensed into one video. Much appreciated :) btw a gig is 1,024mb :p

I can’t tell you how many times I have watched this video. It saves the day. If you’ve added more than what she has and it’s messing up your game try removing sleep freedom. It was making my game crash when loading up. Thank you so much for making these videos.

I know you did these a while ago, but you're really doing God's work! Your coverage is comprehensive and technically literate! I am watching many of your videos to get my "environment" set up for another deep dive into the game! You're a Sims 3 community treasure!

this is an extremely well made and organized video!!!

I watched the whole thing and definitely learned a LOT from it. Also made me download and tweak some NRaas mods that I thought would be not-so-useful for my gameplay. Your voice doesn't make me feel bored, too. This is worthy enough to watch and comprehend. Thanks a lot! *Edit: I rarely comment on KZfaq videos so I'm sorry if this sounds cheesy LOL

Thank you so much for making this! I used to play the Sims 3 so so much in middle and high school, and have been wanting to play again (but don't like Sims 4 philosophy/game play...). Your videos are so helpful in helping me optimize the game and choosing mods to download!

Sorry I'm also commenting on this video but I just wanted to say thank you for this in depth guide. Like story progression it really helped me out since I don't know much about mods except downloading and a little bit of upkeep. I don't know if this was a mod or not but I've never seen it before. It's like the scan room feature from sims 2 and if it's from a mod I downloaded from here THANK YOU. I literally had a sims child who didn't find anyone attractive and I went across the whole town.

I absolutely looove Retuner, it's one of my favorite NRAAS's mod (along with MC, DebugEnabler, WooHooer, SP, Traveler and all others 😄 I use all Nraas mod's except Dresser) I used to create several xml mods for my game, than I met Retuner and I didnt have to do it outside my game anymore, I can do it inside and I can set different tones for every save game without having to creat flavors for my mods! Simply amazing 💜

I just literally searching for this kind of video this noon 😨 thank you so muchhhh for posting thissss

Wow! Thank you so much for this. This really is a high quality production. Everything organized with time stamps, good explanations and dedication. Just one thing drives me nuts. And that is how you click on things using the bottom of the cursor instead of the tip. Drove me absolutely insane from time to time during the video, but hey, i think it's just me. Still one of the best Sims mod videos i've ever seen. Thank you! Keep up the good work

I like the notifications at 3, you learn what messes with your game the most

I have been playing for a couple of years and this really enlightened up knowledge on NRAAs mods. thank you.

Not me watching the whole video without one skip or speeding up lol

"I tend to keep the tourists back in their home countries." I love The Sims out of context lmao. Thank you for a great tutorial!

As someone who plays all 3 newer The Sims, I always forget mods functionalities, this video will help my life easier. I've never installed retuner and know I need it

Now I’m on to this guide 👏 Thank you so much for this, always knew NRAAS was very in-depth and I found it overwhelming but you make it easy to learn 🙌

OMG im so happy I found this video and I love how you actually showed us how to use the options

eyy, this is exactly what I was looking for, first time playing sims 3 so I had no idea about the mods. Thanks a lot!

This video is so so helpful, I keep coming back to it every now and then. Thank you!

Thanks so much! I can’t even imagine how long this to make. Great job

This video is so good! I know nraas helps with lots of things but it was just too much for me to mess around with so seeing someone explain everything was great

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I haven't played Sims 3 since 2017 but with Sims 4 just ... getting boring, I decided to redownload Sims 3 ... but I need mods for my game to work (and not kill toddlers instead of elders when the world gets overpopulated ... yeah ... that happened) ... so I'm SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS VIDEO! New subscriber that is super super super grateful

You are a lifesaver! Thank you for making this so comprehensive.

Omg you’re a gem!! 💓 Every time I wanted to download a certain NRaas mod I would always search for videos but there were never any!! Thank you!!

Thank you for your detailed explanations! I am brand new to modding the sims.

I love your videos!! Your game is absolutely gorgeous!!

I’ve been playing s3 for years now and I’m somehow just now learning about the extra modules that story progression has! Ain’t no way I’m going back to s4 after adding these🤷🏾‍♀️ thank you so much for this vid💕

You're a life saver thank you for this everything was so confusing before!

This guide is a godsend! Mover letting you give more money is nice. I wanted to kick out the adult son sim in my family but wanted to give him a home/money so he's secure lol

i downloaded sims 3 resently and your video has been extremely helpful,i dont mind the length you covered everthing i wanted to know about modding the game,thnaks again i off to test some mods.

thank you so much for this video omg you don’t know how much I appreciate it

Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to make this video, it is a godsend. I immediately subscribed!

drinking game for the woohooer section! take a shot every time she says woohoo :D

with nraas porter i was kind of spooked at seeing a lot of my sims t posing (i packed 25+ sims)

Wait! do I have your attention?Do you always reference this video? This took our girly hours and hours to make so comprehensive and helpful for us, don’t forget to like the video like I realized I hadn’t yet lol. The least we could do🫡

Thanks very much just brought sims 3 3 days ago and now looking at some mods thanks for the details 😊

OMG I've had Overwatch for years and I had no idea what options it had! This is an amazing video; I need all the mods now. Thank you!

this is what i needed! thank you queen

am i the only one who likes day off? I mean we still get the check and i like taking care of my babies, toddlers 😭😭

Hope this comment is finding you well, I really enjoyed the video keep up the great work 2:30!

Ty!! This has been more then helpful ty for taking the time to do this

acottonsock: guys don't waste your time watching this video at least put it twice speed or skip around me: watches this and her detailed sp video all the way through once and then both again twice while in game to tweak settings all the way through at normal speed

Thank you for bleeding my ears out at the Story Progression part

Thank you for this video!! It helped me out tremendously!

59:11 was that the Nookazon notification bell?? Amazing job with this, thank you so much!

yesss girl i love ur videosss xo

This is really so, so helpful! Thank you!

With Nraas you can also have a discrete rendezvous at the spa. It used to work with my old computer, (before I updated to a new IOS) and then sims 3 deleted itself,so I reloaded it on another computer, but now all they do is walk in and immediately walk out, can’t pick what sim I wanna “play” with

1:42 This is why you're my favorite youtuber lol

This is so informative thank you for making this video 💕

5th time I watch this still loving it

1:10:58 Omg i do that to add pet bowls and animal stuff if they adopted a pet

I am so mad at myself I was taking notes for this video because I can just get Nraas Retuner mod instead of my other 30 mods

thank you this detailed vid!

You can make only specific families keep their wishes and oportunities by clicking on the household, instead of doing it to the entire world.

u are a goddess. thank you for making this video :)

Im soooo sad. I had bad CC I had to delete EVERYTHING from my launcher😰 I’ll be careful what I download now lmao!

Thank GOD you are an angel for this.

You're the best! Keep it up.

Investigating on the internet I read that with Debugger Enabler or Master Controller you can remove the glowing effect from the eyes of supernatural creatures. I have no problems with vampires, I have a mod for that, but the sim I'm playing with is a werewolf, and I can't find where the "visual" mentioned to remove the effect is. I am going crazy. I haven't even found any mods to remove the glowing effect of werewolves. Edit: My problem is that when I click on the said SIM, be it DE or MC, the word "visual override" is not there...

THANK YOU THANK YOU! This video is very helpful!

This is my Nraas Bible lol. Thank you!

I'm trying to find a video about NRaas Vector; I'm very interested in virology in the game.

When you use the master controller to make it so your household can have more than 8 sims, is it like in Sims 4 when you use a cheat/mod to let the household have more than 8 sims can you not go to cas after that or the sims 9 and up disappear?

i still don’t understand what am i supposed to do with error trap. i have it on 😢

super helpful, thank you so much

So in my game i keep getting notifications like this sim got a new job blah blah and it’s annoying😭 can you help me

great and concise video, ty !!

i only download the errortrap, mastercontroller and overwatch. but it crash on the loading page, the skip intro with framework are fine tho. background music only for 2 seconds then it crashed :(

very complete info. Thank u so much.

Thank you so much this was great ❤️

Please tell me about the career school add on and agter i imported your settings, my sims 3 loads very slow and i can't click the computer, the options wont show anymore, please help😭😭😭

I wonder if there is a solution for all the little pets that the sim owners leave abandoned on community lots with stairs. Other than manually moving them out of the buildings with stairs and onto the ground where they will spend the next 3 hours running home. I don't know if it causes any lag. I do know it drives me nuts regardless. 🙃 EDIT - Also. Somehow I don't think using the nraas Master Contoller town reset everything command is supposed to to take, let's see, so far 1 hour an 17 minutes? Still Processing.

Thank you so much for this!

i was waiting on u to upload . HELLO.

well done

Thank you so much for this amazing video! It's so helpful and straight to the point! I just have one question: can I import part of your settings just for the NRAAS' mods that I use? For example, I don't use NRAAS Consigner and the Cupcake mod, so can I just uncheck them on that Overwatch's tab, where it asked me to select which settings I would like to import (instead of selecting "all") or would it cause any problems in my game?

I had Error Trap and I had to delete it immediately. Whenever I traveled to any world from World Adventures the game will throw over 200+ notifications.

Does anyone have any advice for NRAAS Traveler? I’ve been using it successfully for about a month, but just now I tried using it to travel again and it just keeps crashing

Looking at my favourite save file... 1,59 Gb... damn. It's runnig so well despite it's size 😅😅

omg this is SO helpful!! tysm ❤🙏

I am doing the lepacy challenge and I was wondering do I need the NRAAS traveler mod to make sure my family tree stays the same. I personally like seeing all my generations (im on gen 2).

I installed the errortrap and traffic mods but don't know if they are activated. Clicking in a computer or city hall doesn't give me that tooltip option "nras"...

Maybe I'm dumb, but I just want to make sure, does this setting includes the settings from your previous video about story progression? Or should I download this setting and that setting individually? Thank you for this guide!
