Overwatch – Periodically cleans up errors and eliminates junk that accumulates while you play.Also removes the “greater than 8” and “requires adult” restrictions.

Master Controller – Adds options that allow you to control and change just about anything in your Sims 3 world.I also recommend downloading the optional modules for this mod especially Career, Extra, Money, Others, Population, Relationship, and Skill.

These mods are essential, and I could not play without them. I typically play each game in cycles, so this list will be updated when I’m in a Sims 3 cycle. I update this page as I add mods to my game or remove the ones I no longer use. Just like my Sims 2 mods list and S ims 4 mods list, this list is a constant work in progress. These are all the mods I use in my game, organized by category. Here is my recommended mods list for The Sims 3. I like my sims to not look like corpses, thanks.Little Mortimer scours the web for all the best Sims 3 Mods. For example, I don't like ephemera's skins, while the rest of the simblr community seems to swear by them. Honestly, when dealing with skins a lot of it comes down simply to personal preference - what one person likes, another might hate. In checking ILTS' blog I also noticed a new skin, Candy Crush, which claims to be similar to Cake Face but smoother and more defined in the eyelids, but as my game's busted I've not gotten to test it out. It's quite realistic-looking and the colour sliders are lovely - I'm particularly fond of the one labelled 'Honey', it makes for a nice darker-but-not-actually-black sort of tone. If you want something a little further towards realism, there's also Cake Face, which recieved an update a few months back that eliminated the scalp-seam issues the skin originally had. It's very matte, which I like a lot as I personally dislike the shiny effect some HD skins give. So, here's the ones I like.Īpple Cider Vinegar v2 by Noodlesims is quite simple and still keeps a somewhat cartoony look to the sims, but at the same time it gives them some definition. I know you said HD and, for most people, that probably means photo-realism, but I personally think they can look seriously creepy.
