My Sims 3 Mod Recommendations!

 My favourite Sims game in the Sims series 💗 I just love the open world and NRAAS mods, that make this game super lively and fun! I know the Sims lore but in this game, I just move my favourite Sims from all over the world to the same town and make them live there and have their own lifes. 

Essential Tools for Organizing and Optimizing Your Sims 3 Mods

Sims 3 Multipack Installer  This tool is super easy to use and allows you to convert all your mods into .package files, eliminating the need for the launcher. I personally convert everything except kitchen counters, houses, and hair, as I’ve noticed that hair in .package format sometimes doesn’t show up in the game.

Sims3pe Sims3PE is a program that lets you compress your .package files. This can significantly speed up your game’s loading time since the files are compressed into one file. However, it’s important to check what can and can’t be compressed, as some files may cause issues if not handled properly.

Nraas Error trap This mod works behind the scenes to catch errors in the game that would otherwise cause crashes. It’s especially useful for users with a lot of mods installed.

Nraas Overwatch Automatically cleans up the game by removing unnecessary Sims and objects, fixing stuck Sims, and reducing lag. It’s perfect for making sure the game runs smoothly over time, especially in larger towns.

Nraas MasterController provides an all-in-one control panel for your Sims, allowing you to edit Sims, households, and lots more easily. It also helps with managing Sims and fixing bugs, which is perfect for keeping everything running smoothly.

UI & Visual Mods

Invisible Plumbomb  Hides the plumbombs above your Sim’s heads for a cleaner screen.

Sims 3 Clean UI Changes the blue UI to a light theme, making the game look much more modern and sleek.

Modern downloading screen A new loading screen with helpful tips on how to improve the game's performance.

The Sims Medieval music for Sims 3 Replaces the Sims 3 music with that from The Sims Medieval. It’s a more enjoyable soundtrack! ( at least for me! 😁)

Worlds & Game Enhancements

The Sims 3 Pleasantview  A custom world by the Pleasant Sims, bringing the iconic Pleasantview to your game. It also includes imported families from Riverview and Sunset Valley.

Blue skies & Sunshine lightning mod This mod enhances the game's lighting with vibrant colors, giving you beautiful skies and stunning water effects. I personally use the version with Isla Paradiso water, normal 50% chance of an Aurora, Lunar Lakes size Sun/Moon, and default Sunrise/Sunset Times.

Skyrim Starfield Makes the night sky in The Sims 3 truly breathtaking, mimicking the starry effects from Skyrim.

No Memories A mod to prevent Sims from gaining memories, helping your game run smoother and maintain stability.
