﻿Calendar Life — Installation and Requirements

For full functionality, The Sims 3 and the following expansion packs are required: Seasons, Generations, Late Night, and World Adventures.
1. Original Wall Calendar — Required Separate Download
MTS Official 2026 Calendar by aisquared, Heaven model.
https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=695392
Extract the author's archive and place MTSTS32026Calendar.package in Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages. This file must remain installed in your game.
The calendar can be found in Wall Decorations and costs §25. The Calendar Life menu will provide access to the calendar, holidays, family dates, and lifespan settings.

2. Table Setting — Sandy / Around the Sims 3
The mod specifically requires the Table Setting collection from 2012.

The mod uses 17 objects: Plate and Dish in four variants each; Cutlery casual/formal; Table Napkin casual/formal; Glass casual/formal/color; Bread Plate; and Table Mat.
To have access to all table-setting options, install all of these objects. The separate Table Settings collection from 2023 is not a replacement for these models.

Starting with version 0.3.95, both Around the Sims 3 trees are recognized by their exact object IDs, regardless of their names.
These Christmas trees must be installed separately through The Sims 3 Launcher and are not included in the Calendar Life archive. Installing just one compatible tree is sufficient. All other requirements for New Year's gifts remain unchanged.

5. Installation Instructions
.Sims3Pack files must be installed through The Sims 3 Launcher. .package files must be placed in Mods/Packages, with package file support properly configured.
