  • ◁◁ Essential and recommended mods you have to download to customise your game! The Sims 3 modding community is still active in 2021/2022 and the options are endless. It can be overwhelming to know where to start. Some help reduce lag and fix bugs, others add new functionality or tweak game play options.
    I’ve somehow managed to narrow down hundreds of mods into a Top 10(ish) list for you!

    Been playing less and less of sims 4 lately when I finally decided "why am I doing this? sims 3 was way better" and now I'm reinstalling my old copy and tryna get some mods.
    Thank you for your list!

    • @TheSimGeek

    Once again blew my mind with that Relativity mod! This might sound silly, but my sims can get so much more done in 1 day now!

    One note on the traveler mod: it's absolutely essential if you're using the travelling features that come with World Adventures, University or Into The Future. One of the updates of the game (2010-2013) broke the travel code, so more often than not, you will experience problems and corruption when using the native travel code. Don't do any travelling in TS3 without the Traveler Mod in your Mods folder!
    And, another note on one of the mods: even better than the learn skills online mod, is the Online Center mod: it allows you to learn skills, read books, check social network, learn recipes, shop online, and more!

    • @MileinaJuarez
      @MileinaJuarez 2 роки тому +7

      Thank you, I had no clue at all. I’ll download it definitely. I always avoided traveling because of the issues.

    • @annaamariaa
      @annaamariaa 2 роки тому +9

      THANK YOU! i had no idea why my sims save file kept getting corrupted! turns out it's apparently because i had them not only go to university, but also travel to china and france without this mod installed :/ will install traveller asap!! :))

    • @TheSimGeek
      @TheSimGeek  2 роки тому +8

      Thank you, I didn't realise travelling was corrupt without the mod - good to know!
      I like the Online Centre too! I believe you still need the Study Skills Online mod for it to appear in the computer options 😀💚

    • @annaamariaa
      @annaamariaa 2 роки тому +5

      oh my goodness, downloaded the traveller mod yesterday after around a week and a half (real time) trying to take my sim's daughter and her boyfriend to university and it worked like a charm. Previously it kept bugging out and i could never make it through the first term without some game breaking glitch or an issue with saving, but now they both managed to graduate!! thank u so much i honestly can't express my appreciation for this tip!! ♡

    • @TheSimGeek

    What a great compilation! 🤩 For some reason, however, I can’t use Nraas Error Trap as it keeps deleting certain objects from actual game files, like it deleted one plant that came with Roaring Heights (all official and legal, not pirated versions). 😮

    Thank you for sharing these! Your earned a new sub. I’m having issues starting my game, it keeps getting stuck at 98% loading screen. I had mods installed before I first started my game.. did I mess up? Maybe I should’ve started the game first then installed mods. I’m clueless

    @beckstar2010 2 роки тому +1

    Heyyy so all the mods are quite old do you know if they are still being updated or if they are still tested to make sure they dont mess up the game etc?

    • @septemberbaby1064
      @septemberbaby1064 2 роки тому +10

      Hey! I would imagine since the sims 3 is no Ionger being updated by EA there wouldn’t be a reason why the mods would need to be updated as well. I believe the ones mentioned in this video are set to work with the final version of Sims 3 EA put out. And if you find that a mod is messing up ur game u can delete it from the file (and if really worried go into origin and fix the entire sims 3 game).

    Hello, I don't understand the "Relativity" mod, you say it's to slow down time, but in the end it accelerates to "19" and to "0" that doesn't change anything either. I would like the time in the game to be equal to our real time.

    Do all of these work together for patch 1.69 (or 1.67)? I checked the No zombies, one more slot please and traits for all ages and they aren't updated. I want to use this with other mods like NRAAS ErrorTrap and Overwatch.

    what gb ram does your computer have?

    • @TheSimGeek
      @TheSimGeek  Рік тому +1

      8GB. Although the Sims 3 can't use anymore than 4GB as it's a 32bit program, so having loads of RAM won't make any difference :)
