@Emily4331 If I read it correctly, yes, unfortunately. It's a thread on this forum saying EA is doing away with the Exchange in July of this year.
I don't have any great personal affection for The Exchange, but can you link us to where it says that? This is the first I've head of such a thing and find it quite surprising.
The Exchange for console players was shut down last July as were all online features of the TS3 console games but those were running off of a very different server.
I haven't heard of anything of that matter.The Exchange for the console as shut down last year.But as far as I know, the sims 3 exchange is still going.
After eight years on console, The Sims 3 Exchange online service will be closing its doors on 2nd July 2018.
The concern expressed here I believe was an honest mistake, but see this is how rumors get started. There was rioting in the streets and car alarms were going off in my neighborhood all night long, thanks.
Okay, there are always car alarms going off in my neighborhood and the riots were called off because we got a snowstorm instead, but there might have been otherwise?

This.I originally thought the same thing when I read it, and even went to answers.ea and asked over there.
I haven't downloaded too much from the exchange. I've only gotten some worlds (no longer have but just a couple - Kaypapagei Come Back!) and a few lots but that's it.
I wouldn't really suggest the exchange...I've heard some horror stories about downloading from there. Download what you wish from there but be careful.
@sugarplumpeach Oh, trust me, I am meticulous about how I add stuff to the game. I put it through this thing has it go from "clickies" to easy to move files and I put it and all of its CC in a folder with its name on it.
I'm relieved to see that the exchange isn't going anywhere any time, soon. Most of my gameplay is reserved to building and putting things on the exchange. It would be pretty useless not to have the opportunity to share them anymore and I can say for certain, I would play the game a whole lot less without it.
Anywho, I've got waaaaaaay too many favorites to share individually. I'll save myself the hassle and link you to my favorites list. The vast majority say that they are without CC.

As of right now the Exchange is okay, it was just the Online Servers for the Console Exchange.
(Which closed last July)

I use http://sssvitlans.tumblr.com/sims3cc as it has more up-to-date things from current creators as well as conversions that you can't find on the Exchange. At least I'm not aware of any. I visit https://my-sim-realty.blogspot.com/ - https://aroundthesims3.com/index.html - and of course http://modthesims.info/browse/ts3/ whose community is a bit more active then here. And the big one - https://www.thesimsresource.com/index/index/category/sims3
I just downloaded and learned to use Create a Pattern Tool this very day - YaY me! I'm getting rid of all that old stuff and making fresh, new patterns. Alot of the patterns I have are not that good but at the time I couldn't find much else. Of course there are quite a few that I will never, ever part with like those from https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Cyclonesue/downloads/browse/category/sims3-materials/ and https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/ayyuff/downloads/browse/category/sims3-materials-rockstone/
So, I hope I helped you out with your search for whatever it is you are looking for.
Have a wonderful day ~
