Hi!
I'm curious about what custom content (CC) you all use if any.
Maybe we can inspire each other?
It can be anything from favored Build/Buy objects and patterns to CAS items.
As long as it is not breaking the posting rules of the forum, naturally.

Hmm.... I've been thinking of sharing my secret list of CC favorites. lol -- Thank you for asking!! :)
CC Hair is my main weakness, but there is some jewelry by shoot can't remember their name that I absolutely love.

= § 1,250

✽ We have a Help thread - here (https://jadekitten.net/mfhot/index.php?topic=131.0) for the sewing machine. Take a look ifin you're stuck on something. :)
----------
Reported issue with fix: (Invisible Machine)
Texture detail needs to be changed.
From whatever your setting is, set Texture Details to low. After change, game must be restarted. Save, quit and relaunch the game.
Change the setting back to what you had before. This should "reset" the machine's texture and shouldn't be invisible anymore.
If having any other issues, please check with the creator's thread (https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=643837&c=1&ht=0&page=1&pp=25#startcomment) about the sewing machine. Though if I can help I will. :)
-
This is really cool! I loved the sewing machine and also the potter's wheel in TS2.
-
I shop daily on TSR. I seem to spend more time shopping that I do playing/building. I am working on a project now and looking for specific items but I've downloaded so much CC that I can't find the piece I need. Very frustration. I also accidently deleted many of my items the other day and have to track them down again.
Some of my favorites are:
Cashcraft for misc items,
Kardofe - building and furniture,
Mutske for doors/windows,
and if Craftsman style is your thing, check out this website - https://www.b-5studio.com/. He's done a series of referencing an area of Atlanta called Grand Park. It you're into vintage, this one will be of interest. He also has a lot of other very cool stuff on the website including art and rugs.
-
I'm familiar w/Cashcraft from TS2. I didn't know she created things for TS3. I love some of Mutske's things, especially patterns. I'm a real sucker for patterns, lol.

Praline Sims is where I get the majority of my makeup - https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Pralinesims
Rusty Nails has some GORGEOUS dresses. I have way too many in my game - http://blog.naver.com/PostList.nhn?from=postList&blogId=jinhee_a&categoryNo=80¤tPage=1
-
I knew of PralineSims Thanks to Mpart *Snicker* and the name RustyNails seems familiar too, but not those pages of dresses/outfits.
Jumping down a cc rabbit hole. Wha-hooo!!
-
I'm just glad I'm not into the whole wardrobe thing. Those dresses are gorgeous.

Haha, good luck! Have fun.

I totally forgot until today that BEO on TSR who creates gorgeous wedding formals and other stuff has her own website at:
http://beocreations.com
You need to watch carefully though to see if the creation is for TS3 or 4. She does both.

Oh that set looks cute!! Thank you -so- much for the links!! I'll have to try it out to see if it works.

I have found a default replacement skin that I really like and some default replacement eyes over at Mod The Sims:
Matt Default Replacement Skintone (https://modthesims.info/d/403630)
Honest Gaze Default Eyes (https://modthesims.info/d/433459/honest-gaze-default-eyes.html)
-
Love those eyes!
-
I kinda like them too. They brighten eyes slightly. Now, Aggie's eyes appear grey instead of black which is good.
-
Thanks for the share! I also really like those eyes. Much more realistic looking.
-
I actually prefer Maxis Match CC in general. My Sims are my dolls, not real. I love the "clay" look :P
-
Does anybody know if there is a default replacement alien skin tone? I really don't like the dark gray green one and usually tweak them in CAS.
-
I have some new favorites that are used by YouTuber Pleasant Sims (her TS3 mod list (https://pleasantsims.com/sims-3-mods-list/)):

Yay, toddlers can now have white milk instead of green milk ;D

And here I thought the green was just the bottle color. *Blush* I guess I never really paid that close of attention.
Thanks for sharing!! :)
-
It might just be the bottle color, MrsFlynn. Or maybe it is alien-milk?
-
It's alien milk dontcha know. lol!! ;)

Lots of CAS default replacements : Simple Life (https://simplelife.chagasi.com/sims3.html#Default)
Skysims Hairs (https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Skysims/downloads/browse/category/sims3-hair-hairstyles/) on TSR (The Sims Resource) - many of her hairs come for toddlers and children as well, so they can keep the same style as they grow up.

I am playing with this in my Aggie save currently. It is very pretty and has more daylight hours.

-
I wonder how many thousands of people, like me, have no idea all this extra stuff is available. Amazing.
-
Yeah. If one does not know to look for it, one will remain oblivious. I was for the first many years of playing. It wasn't until I began to frequent forums that I learned of it all.
-
Guess I'm going to have to start catching up in the forums. But since I'm in the process of moving, that will have to wait.

As I was scrolling through Reddit/Sims3 (https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims3/new/)
Someone linked to this awesome built-in-wall-shelf and wanted to share:

Thanks! I grabbed both of those. :)

I just want give a heads up here and I've come across this before. The downloadable "Fit as a Fiddle" conflicts w/being able to smelt any metals in the artisan glass blowing furnace. I like to use that a lot, but when I do want to use it I'll have remove the cc violin and then reload the game and smelt the metals. I like doing it at the Prism Art Studio b/c it saves tons of money. I came across this w/the non EA cc toy maker as well,but I don't remember what it conflicted with. Anyway, just another work around. :)
-
I was looking through my list of some Reddit links I shared and saw a few that had links to some cool stuff, so I thought I'd share:

-
That's awesome!! I'm very happy to join you in those rabbitholes, as you well know. :D

Went on a hunt to find something specific and well... Found these so I thought I'd share. :)

I saw the MTS one yesterday but I didn't go through it.

MrsFlynn, you may recall me commenting on how great it would be if objects could be placed in the bay window. I came across this mod and it seems to be exactly what I was wanting.

I was looking through TSR's Dining section and found one of my favorite dining sets. It's a booth/bench seating and table. It also has hutch pieces and wall paneling.
Hunt Dining by Mutske
https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims3-sets-objects-diningroom/title/hunt-dining/id/1206360/
✽ The set may not work as intended, as the corner piece doesn't snap together with the chair/booth pieces like shown in photo in creator's photo. Or at least I couldn't get them to snap together.
The Sims pull out the chairs, so the set can't be placed against the wall like is shown in the creator's photo.
-
I have that set and I'm pretty sure I sent it to you months ago when you mentioned that you liked it. :D
I used it in a build that I don't have anymore and now I'm having another crisis (as usual).
I spent a lot of time making over a house from the original Riverview (New Orleans style that I called "The Bourbon") and I can't believe I didn't save it. I have a large family in it and something in the house or with the family is bugged. The parent's won't interact with the toddler who seems to get stuck at the top of the stairs and when a parent is sent to look after him, they end up going outside. Right now dad is wandering around outside in his boxers while the baby sits at the top of the stairs howling because he's hungry, stinky and tired. It's 3:00 a.m.
I've tried resetting each family member but it didn't help so I think I'm going to evict them and move them back in. I was going to reset the house as well, but unless I can find a copy, I'm hooped. I will save it to the library after evicting the family, then bulldoze the house from the lot and replace it to see what happens.
It's a crazy family. No structure at all. Kids are still running around at all hours of the night. So much for letting them run their own lives. :D
-
I happen to visit ModtheSims yesterday and saw this cool custom kitchen set by Enable_Llamas. I had to share.

I am sure ATS3 has been mentioned in this thread before, but I felt the need to note this set, because it's summer time and it's camping stuff. lol

I found some cute window boxes (Mutske, of course), but what's cool is that you can layer the individual boxes to get multi colored flowers.

I have decided to try this CC skin out: Kurasoberina Primer (https://kurasoberina.tumblr.com/post/137273135579/primer-hd-skin-for-all-ages-baby-elder-this-is)
But I actually like teru_k's better. It is found over at Mod The Sims: ESkin-nAtural+ (https://modthesims.info/d/493687/eskin-natural.html) (this is my fave)
But I actually also like the Sugar & Spice default replacement skin by Fairstead Sims: Scroll down the page a bit (https://fairsteadsims.tumblr.com/tagged/download%3Acas/page/2)
And I actually also like her Peek-A-Boo default replacement eyes very much: Scroll down the page some (https://fairsteadsims.tumblr.com/tagged/download:cas)
NB: Both of these CC files go in the Overrides folder - not the usual Packages folder!

I don't think these have been added to this list, but wanted to add these anyway as note to myself. Will delete this post if these are already somewhere in the thread.
