Two Sets of Chinese Sign Tattoos: Warrior and Maiden

That the sims now can have tattoos is great! But I quickly got bored by the only four options. Looking around I couldn't find all I wanted so I decided to make my own and here present to you my first Sims 3 Creation: Chinese Tattoos.

All tattoos are "real" in-game tattoos, meaning they show up in the tattoo-tab in CAS and that you need Base Game Patch 1.12 or Ambitions installed. They look good in all places though the smaller ones can look a bit blurry unless you change the size/opacity. The tattoos are all recolourable and have three presets: black (the one in the pictures), red and blue. They only have one recolourable channel (really, how many different colours do you need for one sign? :-) ). I spent quite a bit of time on these and hope you are as happy with them as I am.



I know that there already are a few chinese sign tattoos out there, but my problem was: If I have many different chinese signs, how can I remember what they mean? And I don't want to tattoo some cool sign just to later find out it means "soup" (thumbs up if you get the reference!). Therefore I've changed all the thumbnails for the tatto to display a descriptive text (see below). This text will not appear when choosing the tattoo.

NOTE: I've checked all the signs to make sure they are correct. Unfortunately I don't read chinese so I've been at the mercy of Google Translate If any of them do happen to be wrong, please let me know and I'll change them.

So far I've made two sets: Warrior and Maiden but I have plans of doing several more sets if these are appreciated.

Install Instructions

Quick Guide:

1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.

For Package files:

1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Files^wiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).

For Sims3Pack files:

1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).


Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
