What's my experimental TS3 Core Mod about?
Added 2021-12-31 12:13:48 +0000 UTCHi!
So, as I've mentioned on my Tumblr, I'm currently working on a TS3 Core Mod. I thought I'd dump the juicy info for my patrons here :)
It's multi-layered, the first layer being an .asi mod that adds new functionality to the game's scripting engine like networking and Discord features. This was inspired by Battery's S3SE, he gave me useful pointers on how it works. I've named it RPCLib, in reference to its similar TS2 counterpart.
At the moment, the mod implements some very rough multiplayer and Discord Rich Presence functionality. I had to edit a lot of core things to make them properly networkable, hence why it's a core mod.
Some other quality of life things such as no pudding faces and no pie menu lag are also implemented to make it a good experience.
Currently the mod is a little side project of mine, I can't really promise much, but if I hit any milestones I'll let you know! This is very experimental, after all.

Is there any updates on the state of this? I've been using pretty much all your mods and I have to say you've somehow fixed like almost everything.

2022-01-05 14:23:07 +0000 UTCI love the sound of this! However I've been using Awesome for so long and I tried taking it out recently and I found that Pescado changed/fixed so many things that I didn't even realise it was kinda hell to play. Like a minor thing is how he disabled sims changing into the lab coat and googles when using the chemistry set from Ambitions, I never knew they did that cause I've been using Awesome for so long.

2022-01-05 10:59:11 +0000 UTCThank you <3 It's entirely new code. It's meant to be realtime multiplayer unlike SimPort, currently using Discord Networking so that you don't have to share your IP, open ports, etc.

2022-01-05 10:38:48 +0000 UTCSounds exciting! Thanks for all the work you have put into sims 2 and 3! Also is the mulitplayer functionality based on the simport feature or is it entirely new code? I'm more a solo player but this multiplayer functionality has me intrigued.

2022-01-05 06:18:22 +0000 UTCThank you! Honestly though?? Sims 2 is actually really clean under the hood despite its bugs. Sims 3 not so much though, spaghetti code is fitting for sure in its case :p

2022-01-03 12:46:28 +0000 UTCWoah sounds very exciting! I'm so thankful for creators like you who care and create for the older Sims games, even if they are basically spaghetti code under the hood haha! - William, a proud subcriber.

2022-01-03 12:04:21 +0000 UTCYup, that's just what I intended. No problem!

2022-01-03 09:59:17 +0000 UTCI see, I guess I could adapt my mods to the gaming experience I most want at a given time, solo VS multiplayer. It should be just fine, thank you!

2022-01-02 15:35:34 +0000 UTCUnfortunately it won't be as they're both core mods. I don't think it's that big of a deal, as most people would probably want to only use it when they want to play multiplayer. I might make it a general alternative to other core mods later and not just for MP, but I'm still not sure about that as a lot of people aren't willing to get rid of mods such as awesome.

2022-01-01 20:16:56 +0000 UTCIt sounds promising and can't wait to hear more about this (I need to check out your Tumblr, I seem to have missed this post). I do have the AwesomeMod core mod installed, I understand it'll be compatible with your mod?
