And while The Sims 4 is still a hot topic now, I know there are plenty of Sims 2 players out there still loving the older title.
And there is a ton of community content to be discovered for this game. Whether you’re looking to improve the base game styles or change the experience completely, you’re sure to find something interesting in this list.
30. Neighbourhood
The Sims 2 was released back in 2004, so you probably want some visual upgrades if you’re playing the game in the 2020 decade (or beyond).
A good place to start would be couriousb’s Neighbourhood pack.
Textures for most terrain tiles, including grass, dirt, concrete, and roads are replaced with this mod.
Terrain looks much better now, with added detail making the environment much more pleasing visually.
This is the best-looking terrain pack you can find for Sims 2, hands down.
29. Criquette’s Linden Trees
A great match for the Neighbourhood is Criquette’s Linden Trees.
The mod replaces the default oak tree textures with linden trees. The small visual upgrade makes forests look much more appealing.
Criquiette’s textures are much less blurry than the vanilla trees making everything look much better.
You’d be surprised at how much this can change the look and feel of the game for the better.
28. Maxis Centerpiece… as Centerpiece!
There have been so many changes to the series as its grown since the release of Sims 2.
Being one of the earlier releases and given the huge number of variables that goes into a life simulation game, it’s understandable that some things were not as fleshed out as we’d like.
One of those things is that adding a centrepiece onto a table, would not allow your sim to using tables. Yes, that may seem like a tiny detail.
But what’s a life simulator if it doesn’t reflect real life as accurately as possible?
Certain items in the game already act as centerpieces, allowing your sims to use the table even when the item is placed.
However there are other small items that prevent you from doing so, and that just doesn’t make sense. Now you can decorate your dining tables with pretty much any small object and still be able to use them.
27. All Walkbys
Why is it that sims who walk by your house are mostly people you don’t even know?
Well the default game mechanic is that only unknown sims walk by, unless fewer than 8 unknowns are available.
Bothered by the lower likelihood that actual friends walk around outside your house? Well-known modder Cyjon created this fix.
With this mod the mechanic changes so that only unknowns walk by if there are fewer than 255, forcing the script to choose from pretty much all sims in your neighborhood – increasing the chances that you’ll see your friends wandering around.
26. Don’t Walk Away from Stove While Cooking
Another annoying gameplay mechanic for many fans was cooking.
Assuming your adult sims know that burning food is bad, why would they even walk away from the stove while cooking?
Perhaps they weren’t reminded enough as children that playing with fire could burn the house down.
This is especially true in Sims 2, as I’m sure no one wants their sim to die from a house fire. Well, not all players.
No need to worry about that now! Because with this mod your sim won’t walk away from the stove while cooking anymore.
The Sims 3 Free Download
25. Fire Mod
As if causing fires wasn’t already problematic enough, an actual occurrence of fire brings about a completely new list of issues.
Wanting to add to the realism of the game, modder simler90 created the Fire Mod.
Learning Fire Safety now plays a huge part in how your sims react to fires.
Compared to the vanilla mechanic where knowledge of Fire Safety doesn’t make an impact, now sims who have studied Fire Safety are more equipped to deal with fires.
More knowledgeable sims no longer panic and instead try to extinguish fires fast. The mod is well thought out too.
For example, your smarter sims won’t work on fire tiles that are already being put out by someone else. Talk about teamwork!
The modder even went further as to add enhanced reactions for children who are knowledgeable in Fire Safety. They are now likely to use the nearest phone to call the fire department, instead of being completely useless. Good times.
24. No Moaning Till Desperate Patch
One of the games features that can very quickly become annoying is how needy your sims are.
And I get it; the whole point of the game is to watch out for what your sims need.
Of course, they need to have certain ways to let you know that they need/want something.
The whining and arm gestures are a bit much though. It makes even adult sims look like children.
Well this mod fixes that. Your sim will no longer whine and throw tantrums until they’re literally dying. Be careful though, as you might end up reacting too late.
23. Cyjon’s Ghost Hack
Ghosts play a large part in the Sims games as they have a number of activities that affect gameplay.
There are multiple fixes to Ghost mechanics in Sims 2, but Cyjon built on the previous versions to create his own.
Among the changes include Amok Servos, where servos who are scared to death will run amok instead of die.
The Pushy Scares tweak makes it so that ghosts can now successfully scare sleeping sims instead of having to wait for them to get out of bed.
There’s an even a tweak for Cleaner Ghosts – where happy ghosts are more likely to clean. How nice of them!
22. CEP
Much of the appeal of the Sims series is due to the freedom it gives builders.
Players can build and decorate their dream houses, down to the little details like vases and picture frames.
If that’s something you’re into then you’re going to want to check out CEP.
CEP gives you much more options in terms of customizing objects, as it enables color settings for Maxis objects in the base game.
It’s even compatible with most expansion packs, including University, Open for Business, and Pets.
21. Sim Blender
There’s also the type of Sims fan who spends tons of time on character creation/development.
If you prefer to focus on the sims themselves instead of building, Sim Blender is the ultimate tool for that.
Sim Blender is basically sims “god mode,” allowing you to customize multiple aspects of your sims’ lives.
You can manually set or remove relationship flags. Or set child, grandchild, parent/grandparent, or sibling designations.
Heck you can even manipulate your sim’s age.
The best tool for complete control over your virtual universe.
20. Extended Family Treated as Family
For most Sims fans, the biggest part of the game has to be the social mechanics.
Forming relationships, making a family, and going through your sim life. Significant experiences makes the Sims series truly exciting. That’s what the next few mods on my list are about.
This one specifically is the Extended Family mod.
As the name suggests, extended family is now treated as family.
This directly impacts romantic relationships as they are no longer possible for second cousins. Great grandparents now have the option to family kiss or encourage their great grandchildren as well.
Why was it even possible for second cousins to form romantic relationships?
I guess that’s a question I won’t even try to answer, but you won’t have that problem with this mod.
19. Just Be Friends
This one is aimed specifically towards teens and up, making their romantic relationships more interesting.
We’ve all probably experienced this at least once. You like someone but they just don’t feel the same way.
Well if this is something you can relate to, you can probably already tell how this mod adds that sense of realism to your Sims experience.
You now have the option to decide if a relationship is not going anywhere serious, and to agree to just be friends.
Once applied, crush/love flags between the sims will no longer be present.
18. Smarter Choice Of Parent For Entering College Cinematic
Starting a family is also a huge part of any Sims game.
With that, relationships between parents and children are just as important once you’ve settled your own romantic relationships.
In line with that, you ever notice how that cinematic of sending a child off to college seems to always be a little… off?
Well this mod fixes that.
It makes that scene much more realistic as well. Absentee parents will no longer be selected to take their kids to college, as it’s now based on the child’s Lifetime Relationship with the parent.
17. Triplets & Quads
Before we get ahead of ourselves, you’re going to have to plan for your children’s future first.
Well, your virtual children.
For all you know, you might actually be sending 3 of 4 children to college.
The Triplets & Quads mod adds the possibility of giving birth to well…triplets and quads.
Not only that, but you have complete control as well.
You can decide for yourself how many children you will give birth to, assign the odds for 1-4 children, or keep it completely random. Fun stuff!
Side Note: for any Sims 4 players reading this, we’ve also catalogued a huge collection of pregnancy & baby mods in another post. Check it out if you’re big on virtual families.
16. Have/Adopt Child Want Fix
The have and adopt a child mechanic also has its flaws as they are completely separated in the game.
If your sim wants to have a child, adopting one won’t satisfy that.
The same applies in reverse as well.
With this quick fix, that will no longer be an issue as having a child satisfied the adoption want, and vice versa.
15. Free Range Cereal Bowl Set
Now that you have little toddlers running around, it can get difficult to keep them all fed.
Especially if you just had quadruplets.
No, I’m not talking about the financial impact (that’s obvious).
The actual task of caring for each and every toddler can get quite tedious. Luckily there’s a fun and creative way to automate the task.
The Free Range Cereal Bowl Set actually lets toddlers feed themselves. Weird, yet classy!
You simply place the bowl on the floor, add some cereal, and voila. Your toddlers can eat on their own. Somehow.
I’m not sure how ethically sound this is may be, but come on it’s a video game. Worse mods have been made.
14. Pets & Children Share Bed
As your children grow up, it isn’t uncommon to want to get them a little furry companion.
The Sims 3 Teens Mods
It’s especially common in Sims 2 as they even created a whole separate expansion pack called Pets.
One common complaint is that pets are not able to sleep in the bed with children.
Well now they can.
For all the pet-lovers out there, your pets can now choose to sleep on the foot of the bed while being used by a child.
Take note, though, that once the child becomes an adult this will no longer be possible. There won’t be any room!
The Sims 3 Adults Mod
They can still sleep on an empty side of a double bed though. So if you like to keep your pets close check this one out.
13. Lifespan Mod
Since we’re talking about having children, modder Phaenoh found some issues with how they grow up in Sims 2.
Most of the life stages went by too fast, making it difficult to keep up with a sim’s needs from birth.
The Lifespan Mod addresses those issues with improvements to life stage lengths in the game.
All life stages are prolonged, adding a day or two here and there.
With thorough playtesting, each life stage has been increased to give the game a more realistic feel in terms of growing up.
12. Job Seeking Noticeboard
The base game included 10 options for job tracks. But with all the expansion packs you can find even more exclusive career tracks for the game.
But the mechanic for finding a job was not updated.
You go through the newspaper or the computer looking through job postings, and by the end of it you’re given 3-4 random jobs to choose from.
What if the job options you’re given aren’t in the fields you wanted to work in?
The Job Seeking Noticeboard actually makes a lot of sense: it adds a job board posting in community lots.
Through the job board you’ll now be able to directly select any job you want without having to go through randomly generated offers you’re not even interested in.
11. Become an Author…Without a computer
This next mod is not only for aspiring writers… it’s a cool additional feature for anyone.
It’s now possible to write a novel on paper instead of having to do so on a computer.
All you have to do is purchase the manuscript in the Creative portion of the Hobbies section and you’re good to go!
As stated by the modder himself, this is a great choice for poorer sims who just can shell out cash for a new fancy-schmancy Steve Jobs device.
10. New Lifetime Wants
Among the available Lifetime Wants in the Sims 2, there were actually four college career paths that were added in the University expansion pack but later removed.
The Sims 3 Adult Mods
This mod brings those four Lifetime Wants back, as your sim may want to reach the top levels of the Artist, Natural Science, Paranormal, or Showbusiness careers.
Many people who played University enjoyed these additional Wants and now you can too.
As some sims may aspire to raise multiple pets or become Mayor, your sim may prefer a career as an Ecological Guru, a Visionary in the world of arts, or even a Cult Leader. Who’s to stop them?
9. Better Roach Stomp
Nobody likes dirty cockroaches. This is as true in the Sims 2 as it is in real life.
For those who haven’t experienced cockroaches in the game, first of all good for you for being clean even in a virtual world.
Secondly, cockroaches in the Sims are nasty little pests that spawn when the environment is dirty.
They cause your sims an unbelievable level of discomfort by cancelling actions and distracting them until the issue is resolved.
The easiest way to get rid of these pests is stomping them out, but the success rate is pretty low. Making a roach infestation even more of an unwanted stress.
This simple fix increases the chance that stomping will actually kill the roaches.
8. No Quitting
With so much going on in your sim’s life, it can get challenging to be able to manage every single aspect of it.
It doesn’t help that most of the time your sims aren’t very good at telling you what they want, either.
Many users have gotten annoyed at how their sims would sometimes suddenly leave jobs to find that they weren’t satisfied with the pay.
How were you supposed to know that anyway?
This simple mod fixes that problem. It makes your sims complain first instead of actually quitting.
Now that may not sound like much of an alternative, but at least the choice will be left to you to decide what happens next.
7. Always Flush Toilet/Wash Hands
The Sims 3 Store
For all the neat freaks out there: does it ever bother you how your sims don’t wash their hands after using the toilet?
Not only is it unhygienic, but may actually cause bigger problems down the line.
Your sim may end up clogging the toilet from forgetting to flush after using it. That would require hiring a repairman just to get it fixed, which I’m sure nobody wants.
Well messy or neat, your sims now have been gifted with much better toilet etiquette as they will always flush after use.
Sims with at least 3 points in their Neat rating will even wash their hands on their own.
No more having to micromanage toilet time.
6. Risky Woohoo
Many aspects of the Sims games have been dulled down, making the game accessible to a much younger audience.
That makes sense of course, as the game is rated for ages 12 or older.
However, many of the older Sims fans are looking for a much more realistic experience.
Leave it to the community to make it possible, starting with the Risky Woohoo mod.
As you probably already know what Woohoo stands for in the game, the mod increases the odds of conceiving.
The mod is actually a well thought out redesign & rebalance of Woohoo mechanics, as the odds change in different locations such as beds, hot tubs, cars, and even elevators. Yes, elevators. I didn’t know that was an option either.
The percentages used by the modder are even justified, as hot tub Woohoo would have a lower chance of resulting in pregnancy vs, say, if it were done in public.
5. Break Up Anytime
The next three mods come in a pack from simlogical, all affecting how relationships play out in the game.
All three aim to make relationship mechanics more realistic, starting off with the Break Up Anytime mod.
As the title suggests, this enables the option for married, engaged, or going steady sims to break up regardless of the state of their relationship.
As in real life, sometimes relationships just don’t work out. And there are an unlimited number of reasons for that. This mod leaves it completely up to you to decide.
4. More Realistic Relationship Decay
Next up is More Realistic Relationship Decay.
The modder wasn’t happy with the relationship decay mechanic built into the game, specifically how relationship ratings would drop back to 0 if sims are away for long periods of time.
With this mod, short term relationships will no longer be affected by distance once the relationship level is between +10 and -10.
Furthermore, negative relationships do not improve over time as well.
Bad blood between sims (relationship level of -95) will stay that way, and can now only be improved if someone apologizes – for which you’ll need the next mod on my list!
3. More Useful Apologies
Sometimes negative relationships can’t be avoided.
Maybe you were just messing around and someone got angrier than you expected. Maybe you even did it on purpose just for fun.
Whatever it is, once a sim is infuriated with another, it may be difficult to repair the relationship.
Luckily we have the More Useful Apologies mod which solves exactly that.
Apologizing now removes the furious state of angered sims, and the relationship rating is increased to just above 0.
If you want to give your sims a fresh start after all that fighting, this is the way to go.
2. ACR
If you’re looking for an even more realistic relationship mod, ACR is a great one to have. Really the best relationship mod I’d say.
Considered by most as an essential Sims mod, ACR (short for Autonomous Casual Romance) allows your sim to engage in different romantic interactions of their own free will.
Sims are now able to flirt, kiss, and even Woohoo with other Sims casually, without requiring them to be in love beforehand.
There are also tons of options here as you’re able to set gender preferences for each of your sims, making for a more diverse neighborhood.
The mod can even make it possible for teens to engage in relationship-related activity, adding a completely new sense of realism to the game.
But for that you’ll be needing this next mod to go along with ACR…
1. InTeenimater
InTeenimater, or known to most simply as InTeen, is a beloved mod for The Sims 2.
It adds a ton of new features focused enabling teen relationships in the game.
One of the biggest features is that teens are now able to get pregnant as well. Good or bad, I’m not here to judge just sharing the facts.
Best paired with ACR, teens are not only able to have romantic interactions with other sims, but experience the same repercussions as well.
The mod comes complete with interactions, maternity wear, and textures to now support teens and not just adults.
It also improves independence in teens, as sims over 18 can now even find their own place, follow adult career tracks, and are no longer required to attend school. Imagine playing an adult-style life with a kid in Sims 2!
What a time to be alive.

The Sims 4 Adult Mods 2020
Sims 3 offers something unique that no other Sims game provides to players – the chance to walk freely with no loading screens across any game world in the game.
Many have moved onto playing the Sims 4 since it has so many modern updates, but plenty of people love the Sims 3 for its charm and all the memories. Not to mention all the amazing mods out there.
Since the game is a bit older now it’s fair to say that mods could be added to it to make the play experience feel much better.
As such I’ve made this list of the best Sims 3 mods that you can add to your game to spice things up like never before.
25. Ultra-Plain Eyes
If you want the eyes of your sims to just look more natural then download this mod and give it a try.
It changes the masks that EA uses for the vanilla game and makes them look better in terms of illumination and coloring.
The changes are plain, but very easily noticeable!
24. Ultra-Plain Faces
Building off the previous mod we have this other one that improves face styles.
This mod makes typical sim faces look much more realistic by improving the faces and facial expressions that you see in the base game.
The mod is basically an overlay for every face in the game that makes them look plainer and less cartoony, adding some much appreciated realism to The Sims 3.
23. Zerbu’s Ultimate Career Mod
Rabbit holes have been a thing in the Sims since the first game was released.
In fact, it wasn’t until Sims 3 when some careers started having the option for your sim to work on a specific lot. And you still needed to have them do tasks yourself because they were part of career expansions.
However with this mod you’ll be able to have your sims go to a specific lot and have them do tasks in the time that they should be working.
Let’s say, for example, that your sim is a chef.
You can assign any given lot as their location of work and have them go there to do activities during the time that they’re at work.
Instead of going to a rabbit hole, your sim will then go to the selected lot and do any specific number of activities before they go home.
They might even slack off there which would be unfortunate. But hey, at least you’ll see what they’re doing and they won’t be just disappearing into a virtual car to go nowhere.
22. More Traits For All Ages
This mod allows sims to have many more traits than the game allows by default.
As such you’ll be able to have your sims earn more traits as time goes on.
For example, sims that age up will automatically receive new traits even if you’re not controlling them.
This makes the entire game experience much more interesting by giving more personality to every sim in the world you inhabit.
Many sims often feel bland, but this mod changes that completely.
Just be very sure that you want this mod installed on your file before saving, though.
You cannot revert any trait changes by simply removing the mod. Even after removing the mod, Sims will remain with the traits and you might need to remove them manually using console commands. Test this out on a new save file if you wanna be extra careful.
21. No Intro Mod
Even though this mod is quite simple and doesn’t really add a lot to the game, many people find it extremely annoying having to wait such a long time to get the game started.
One of the main issues that many Sims games have had(when it comes to basic issues and not bugs) is that intros are way too long and people just want to jump straight into the action. This is true for most video games, but the Sims loves their intro screens.
This is a judgment error from EA but hey, I think we’re all used to those.
Thankfully the No Intro mod allows you to jump straight into the action without having to wait or watch any intro video when you first boot up the game.
Don’t let your sims wait around – install this mod and start living their life as soon as the game boots up. Regions won’t have any intro videos and you’ll be able to play as soon as you select them.
20. Traveler Mod
The Traveler mod is the best mod that you can download if you like to have your sims constantly moving from one town to another.
This free mod makes it so that whenever you move a sim from one place to another on any other map, they will not lose any of the relationships the they have.
One of the worst things that you can have happening to a legacy save is losing all of the progress you’ve made with a sim because you want them to move elsewhere.
This is great for people who like to play long legacy saves and have their sims move to different locations over time.
Now the mod does edit the way things work inside the files, so if you have any other mod that greatly alters the base game file it may clash with this one and neither will work. Proceed with caution if you’re big into modding.
19. Tagger
The Sims 3 has the biggest maps of any Sims game, because plots don’t load individually but the map stays loaded at all times when you play.
This is amazing as it makes gameplay feel much more realistic. But it does present one key problem: it becomes incredibly difficult to locate things, people, and houses.
That’s why the Tagger mod was created – it allows you to tag stuff much better than you can do in the base game.
One of the main problems of the vanilla tag system is that you can’t really create custom tags and the criteria that the game uses isn’t as effective.
This mod completely overhauls the original system and makes it far more user friendly. You can create custom tags and the selection becomes much more dynamic when the entire map is in motion.
Another great thing about this mod is how amazingly compatible it is.
Tagger works well with every other mod. And it even works well in custom maps too.
You can download modded maps and use the mod to your heart’s content – you’ll be able to tag whichever you like on maps that aren’t even included in the base Sims 3 game!
18. Woohooer
Woohooer allows you to take a much more liberal approach to dating and relationships than EA allowed in the original game.
With the Woohooer mod you’ll be able to have teenage sims get pregnant, and even male sims will be able to become pregnant as well. This is kind of an anything goes situation.
This mod goes well with the Kinky World add-on too, and modders recommend using them together for a true and more realistic Sims 3 experience.
Woohooer works well as a stand-alone too but you’ll need to download special clothing for teenage and male sims that become pregnant, as the base game’s clothes aren’t made for these things to work well.
17. The Sims 1 Music
Here’s a really cool one for you old school gamers.
This mod simply replaces all of the default Sims 3 music with songs from the original Sims 1 soundtrack.
I feel like this was made for everyone who played The Sims back in the day, back when there was no sequels so it was just called “The Sims”.
I’m sure it’ll help help you reminisce of the good old times of classic BGM songs from The sims without having to go back to playing the (somewhat outdated) older games.
It’s a simple mod, but it’s undeniably one of the best that an OG simmer can get.
16. Sims 3 Loading Screen Replacement
This simple mod changes the way loading screens look in the game by adding new features and messages to the default ones.
In fact, the main goal of this mod is to take you through a trip that passes every single expansion pack made for Sims 3.
Look at this as a loading screen replacer that will help you enjoy the original Sims 3 loading screen with features of all the other expansion packs of the game!
The creator also made sure to add some humorous remarks on the screen which aren’t present in the original game.
15. The Sims 3 GPU Add-on Support
When the Sims 3 was made and the last patch was released, there still weren’t many of the current modern GPUs in the market.
As such, many GPU models are not automatically used by the game when you first run it.
This mod changes the list of GPUs that the game automatically sets to simplify the task of having to do so manually.
As such, if your powerful GPU isn’t included in the default list for Sims 3, it’s highly likely that this mod will increase the performance of your game by a notch or two.
PC gamers will definitely want to look into this mod.
14. Northeney
Northeney looks like one of those traditional coastal US towns with a ton of cozy houses and a lighthouse.
It sort of resembles the town of Windenburg that was added to the Sims 4 with the Get Together DLC, but it has a less “German” and a more “American” feel.
It’s quite a cool location to visit and an amazing place where you and your sims can live for the rest of their days. And it’s a pretty easy mod to install if you like new worlds to visit.
13. Cronor
Are you tired of the beautiful sceneries that made Sims 3 such a popular game?
Would you rather visit a dreaded place where darkness seems to overshadow everything?
Then Cronor is the place you’ll want, and this mod has it all.
If you install this mod it’ll add a new location into the game. It’s a technological place where nature is overblown by technology and it’s got one hell of a creepy Matrix vibe to it.
12. Like for Like Build & Buy Mode
The build and buy modes of Sims 3 are not the finest aspects of the game.
There are many things that could be better organized, and some prices just feel a bit off and not realistic at all.
This mod was made to correct that.
You’ll be able to better browse the pages as well as have prices that feel much more accurate.
The Sims 3 Adults Mod 1.7.10
11. Children Can Care for Their Siblings
Those of you who have taken care of a child when you weren’t grown-ups yourselves probably feel a bit frustrated by the fact that child sims cannot interact with babies as they would in real life.
I mean really, a 13 year old can at least hold their baby brother right?
Thankfully this mod corrects this little oversight. Install this and you’ll be able to have your children take care of toddlers and help them with basic needs.
You can have your baby’s brother take care of him while you’re not around – much like it would happen in real life if you decided to head out for a night on the town. Granted I don’t have kids so I wouldn’t know… but that’s why we play the Sims right?
10. “No Stretch” Children Can Series
Let’s face it: children are almost useless in The Sims 3.
But much like the previous item, this mod allows children to perform adult interactions without stretching, and making them feel as natural as possible.
Basically the mod converts a lot of adult motions in the game into children ones, which allows children to perform the same actions as grown up without having to move in a weird way.
It also enables them to perform actions that weren’t originally possible in the base game, such as interacting with fireplaces.
9. Canning Station Overhaul
Now this mod completely changes the way Grandma’s Canning Station works in the game.
It fixes a lot of annoying bugs that it had, but it mainly helps the station feel much more realistic by changing the way items on the station look.
For example, each loaf of bread now looks different depending on the jam that it uses.
Gone are the days where every piece of toast looks like it has purple jam plopped on top. Granted, this is a small change but certainly a pleasing one.
8. The Third Person Mod
Have you ever wanted to play The Sims 3 as if it was any other adventure game?
Well this mod allows you to feel like you’re really living life through your sim’s eyes thanks to the implementation of a fully controllable third person mod. With this add-on you’ll be able to move around with the WASD keys as if it was any other PC game.
The creator of the mod assures that the movement system was built from scratch, which is why it moves so naturally when playing in third person.
It really feels like the game was built for this.
Those of you looking to live a virtual life through a single sim will absolutely love this.
7. Retuned Attraction Mod
The retuned attraction system is a rework of the 1.42 patch that was implemented into the game, which makes certain aspects about attraction feel a bit unnatural.
For example, sims that can’t really stand athleticism could be attracted by the athletic prowess of other sims. Which made no sense.
With this mod the attraction system is fine-tuned to fix issues like this, without losing the essence of the vanilla system.
It also makes sims that get rejected less prone to asking the same sim out again, which adds one more layer of realism to the game.
6. Midnitetech’s Career Mods
There are many entertaining careers in The Sims 3, but there are still many of them that seem to be lacking – even with the addition of career expansions.
This mod overhauls the number of careers that your sim can chase after by adding a heck of a lot more into your options pool.
It makes the game much more expansive and allows you to create many new stories to live through.
5. GROW – Progressive Aging
There’s nothing as anticlimactic in Sims games as having your toddler become a full-grown child in a single day.
This problem is removed with the Progressive Aging mod, which makes aging happen with time instead of milestones.
This adds that extra layer of realism to The Sims 3 which seems to be more than needed in a game where everything is moving at a constant speed.
Note this mod only modifies the way teens and children age, making the transition to adulthood much smoother and much more realistic than it is in the base game. But it won’t affect adulthood in the same way.
This is really cool because unlike all previous Sims titles, here you’ll be able to see how children turn into grown-ups like it were real life.
4. Kinky World
Be warned: this is the most NSFW mod on the list!
It makes the act of woohoo-ing much more realistic by adding animations that make Sims have some, erm, romantic encounters.
This is the spiritual successor to the Wicked Whims mod that currently sits at the top of most download lists in the Sims 4 community.
You can grab animations made by the community’s most talented Blender artists, who have come together to create some very realistic(and VERY graphic) scenes to spice up your game to a whole new level.
Kinky World is the best mod for people looking for a realistic and mature Sims experience. It adds & amplifies that one element that is missing from most Sims games: sex.
3. Story Progression Mod
I’ll be the first to admit that the story progression implemented by EA in The Sims 3 is just not good enough.
This has been a recurrent issue in many Sims games (especially the third and fourth installations, which are the most complex of the bunch).
However in Sims 3 story progression was particularly bland.
This mod aims to change all that by altering the way characters interact with each other and how NPCs behave. This really does make gameplay much better and way more entertaining in long saves.
The mod was created to work in all versions of The Sims 3 so you can run this anywhere.
If you still enjoy playing this game more than Sims 4 then be sure to install this mod away. You’ll absolutely love the way things develop in legacy saves and it feels so much more natural.
2. Master Controller
Master Controller allows you to better manage all of your NRAAS mods and makes the game understand how to run them better.
In fact, this is one of those mods that seems to not do much until you realize how much stuff goes on behind the scenes.
The processes of your Sims 3 game will run much better with Master Controller, so it’s one of the most recommended mods that you can download for your game before you install any other mods.
It’s (naturally) 100% free and pretty easy to install. Plus this makes it easier for you to manage many in-game variants using simple sliders.
You can even edit many of these things by yourself by accessing the mod’s documentation. Overall a masterpiece addition for any Sims 3 lovers.
1. Overwatch
The Sims 3 is the largest Sims game ever made in terms of worldbuilding and managing the size of the worlds.
We all know how complex games can get when the story progresses for many generations. And with such a big world, it’s only natural and to be expected for bugs to happen from time to time.
However the Sims 3 might also be the buggiest Sims game ever made, which can be quite inconvenient when you play the same save for a while.
The Overwatch mod was made to combat the annoyances that often come with large scale gameplay.
You might often walk into places where certain sims are stuck, and you can’t do too much about it sadly. You’d have to manually control everything and that’s just not viable.
Overwatch makes sure to reset the state of things from time to time, making your game run smoother and helping you to avoid facing unfortunate encounters where interactions become impossible. This is also useful in case 2 mods conflict with each other.
The Overwatch mod is a simple but amazing add-on which makes The Sims 3 that much more of an amazing game.
