    Anyone else find themselves addicted to CC downloading. Just spent like 2 hours going through my favorite sites, looking for new ones, downloading and organizing my folders. Ughh CC how I love thee!<3 :) :oops:

      My mods folder would scare most children and cause elderly to faint.

      *raises hand*
      I think I enjoy downloading CC more than I do actually playing the game itself.
      I have over 1,000 CC items... and that's not even including stuff I've downloaded in the launcher...

      I love it too but have kinda made a pact with myself to not go over 1gb in my mods/sims3pack folders...it's really hard to keep that promise. :lol:

      TSR is really nice, except the best stuff cost $$$$.

      I was, but then realized it was outrageous how much I had. Started deleting stuff I didn't really need and started to appreciate just working with store content and what the game+EPs have. :P

      I love BeoCreations, Anubis360, Juliana Sims, Jocker, and Elexis. (I'm not sure if she has a site or not, I usually just download her stuff from ModTheSims.) :wink:

      Oh, yeah! I call it "Shopping". I've got folders and folders and folders of CC and Interesting Mods. I keep it all in Separate Files...One For Sims 3 Packages, One for Sims 3 PACK Files, One for NRaas Mods, and One for Mods found Elsewhere, One for Favorite Houses, One For Favorite Simmies, One For Cars, I just started one for Boats and HouseBoats, One for My Favoite Clutter and Decor Items, One For Pets and Animals, One For Elders' Stuff (These items can be hard to find, sometimes...

      99% of the time, I never install any of it, I just "Keep It Handy" in case I need something special. The rest of it sits on my Desktop, and I browse through every now and then. It IS very much like shopping, except that I don't have to pay for any of it, LOL!

      Yeah, but playing strictly Vanilla is Soooooo boring. EA's designers have no taste whatsoever, and their patterns are downright UGLY!

      I was addicted for a while too. But then my brother upgraded my computer for me so I had to re-install everything. Twice. (long story)

      I've basically gone back to playing with just EA stuff. And I'm fine with it for now. I have a few hairs that I had saved before, and few outfits. But I don't know if I want to bloat my game with even more.

      As for good sites though, I would check Juliana's Sims, and Eternila's Stuff. Eternila has some really, really great hair. :)

      oh ive moved past addiction to plain straight up hoarding ..if it looks good ive got to have it :)

      CC is the true reason why i play. and when i was playing sims 2 i had to upgrade my computer to just play all of my CC

      for sims 3 i think i can honestly say ive reviewed almost all of the mysimsblogs pages

      here's a great site that i discovered early on and for me it just keeps getting better
      http://lunasimslulamai.jimdo.com/

      just turn on google translate

      im looking forward to the august reveal of sims 4 since im already planning my new computer, basically im planning on customizing a serious system so ill have no limits re CC

      I'm with you, Ceejay. I'm past addiction. I've been downloading stuff since Sims 1...and will be downloading custom content when creators start figuring out how to create stuff for Sims 4. I'm hoping by then, I can learn how to make custom content myself, it looks fun. But looks very confusing.. :/

      I will admit, I do download cc more than actually playing the game. But that's because I see something and am like, "Oh! I must have that!" just wish I could be in my game while downloading cc... because then I could play and download stuff at the same time... hopefully we could see a system like that in Sims 4..but probably not. Maybe Sims 5.

      I sooooo addicted to CC.... I just download stuff from some favorite sites and working another family. I is making a story family current working the world. They is India and are from Kolkata. XD Haha I download new cars, lots clutter....I have problem...I will spend lot time "shop" (browse new cc) for stuff. I keep folders organize too. Incase something not is right I can easy delete. I sometime convert sims3pack into .package for faster download. haha.

      You just gotta be careful with what you download.I download from there and my game works okay.

      A serious mental illness that strikes many a Sims 3 player, I'm afraid. =P I've lost most of my CC now, though. So I'm just keeping around the ones I really hate playing without and a few extras that I really need to comb through.

      As long as you cc smart you'll be fine. Whenever I browse TSR, I only look at creators I'm familiar with and have been downloading from for a long time. I mostly have CAS items, patterns, and script mods anymore. I got rid of my buy and build cc for the most part aside from what I get from ATS and a few things that came with a world I installed (which I somewhat regret but like the world so whatever). I currently have about 10-15gb worth in my game but I convert all my package files, decrapify my store content and and merge all the things into nice little compressed packages. I don't bother installing like anything via the launcher anymore if I can help it.

      My favorite sites to find cc are:

      Around the Sims
      Sims 3 Updates
      Simblr Updates
      My Sims Blog

      :)


      Edit: Okay so I should clarify my "you'll be fine" statement with "you'll be fine if your computer can handle modding." Just ya know, don't overdue it for your system specs, sometimes it's hard to know what you can get away with.

      In Sims 2, I was and still am addicted to CC, but for sims 3, I'm not and am too scared to download CC for sims 3! :)

      I wallow in my CC. When I upgraded my computer last year I made sure to get a gaming rig so that I'd be able to handle everything the Sims 3 (and hopefully the Sims 4) decided to throw at me...and also so I wouldn't have to cull one single piece of my beloved CC! :mrgreen:

      I reluctantly gave myself a CC cap, too, and it is so hard to stick to! I find myself swapping things in and out a lot now. Things are going in and out of my mods folder so fast and furious some days I think I actually make myself dizzy! :lol:

      *hugs*

      I, too, am guilty. It comes in waves. A couple years ago my game complete borked and I swore CC off cold turkey. That lasted about a year and a half. I'm back at it, but I certainly try not to add to much stuff. ;) I can only spend so much money on the store before going shopping for the free CC.

      And yes, I spend more hours looking and downloading CC than actually playing the game! haha
