I typically play each game in cycles, so this list will be updated when I’m in a Sims 3 cycle. Story Progression – Replaces EA’s Story Progression with a MUCH better system.These mods are essential, and I could not play without them. 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. Also allows you to select any Sim in the world. I also recommend the optional modules including Cheats, Integration, and Progression. Mover – I use this mod to retains the dreams and opportunities of Sims when I switch active households. Overwatch – Periodically cleans up errors and eliminates junk that accumulates while you play.Also removes the “greater than 8” and “requires adult” restrictions. I find that this mod reduces lag – especially in saves with several generations of Sims.

Error Trap – This mod catches and corrects data corruption errors.

Retuner – Another very handy NRaas mod that allows you to retune many different things.

I use it to reduce the price of groceries and books, and to lower bills.

Saver – Prompts you to save after a given amount of playtime.

This one is a lifesaver if you never remember to save.

Debug Enabler – This mod exposes EA debug commands so they are usable in game.

You can see the settings I use for the NRaas mods here any my Story Progression settings here. These mods impact babies and toddlers and their interactions in the game.

Baby Clothes with Legs – No more burrito babies.

These outfits give your babies little legs.

Baby Hair – See your baby’s hair color as soon as they’re born!.

Faster Toddler Training – This mod allows toddlers to learn skills in 1/3 the time and encourages Sims to autonomously teach toddler skills.

You will need to register an account to download from Sims Asylum. White Formula Default Replacement Bottle – Replaces the green milk baby bottle with a white milk bottle.Use a Gmail address for the best results. Careers – This mods has a lot of features and modules relating to careers.These mods affect careers or roles (as in Sims who perform a role at cash registers) in your world. I primarily use it to give my unplayed Sims the “unemployed” career to prevent them from being assigned as coworkers in jobs I don’t approve of. Register – Allows you to select which Sim you want to perform certain roles in town (such as cashiers, etc.) With this mod, you can let your playable Sims work jobs in town instead of random townies.I also like the additional self-employed options and academic careers. These are mods that affect Create-A-Sim or the game genetics in some way. No Mutated Hair/Eye Color – Forces newborn Sims to have their parents’ or grandparents’ eye and hair colors. Prevents a random (mutated) color from being chosen.
