I've noticed some loosening on the rules regarding talking about CC, so I think I give this a go since the community in Finland is rather quiet (nearly dead). I still love the game and have some huge projects with it, and I'd need some help finding some realistic stuff, mostly build/buy mode items at the moment. I'm quite aware of googling and all EA items from all XP's, Ep's and Store, that's why it's a CC hunt, but there's most likely some stuff that I haven't come across if they're on small sites or Simblrs.
Have you happened to come across:
Anything related to Finland, Nordics or Fennoscandia (or Scandinavia, which Finland isn't part of but has much in common) (Fences, windows, trims, doors, roofs, fireplaces, furniture, designers...)
Mushrooms! I've seen so many perfect mushrooms like chanterelle and boletus and some shrooms that grow on trees for TS2 and TS4, but not to TS3! Why is that?
Some neat
Skyrim conversions I have found...
Forest berry plants
Realistic northern hemisphere trees and other plants, a juniper that grows straight up, apple tree (found one perfect with red apples Strawberry Acres via
MinaSims)
90´s stuff (a mood ring! I've seen one somewhere once)
Hay pole! Basic, single hay pole
Sauna items (yeah no mud baths in sauna) (Found
1,
2)
Saw or planed log wall (logwood that is not round
)
Pirttipöytä! (Found one in this
set with no details)
Knitting items
A mangle (This one in the picture would be the ultimate goal and perfection
)
Wall piece to fit besides the stairs that go above the stairs, not under (open space under the stairs, but wall in the place of railings. I'm still looking for a picture, my explanation isn't great 😅)
Bunnies and guinea pigs (found
hares here and
here), and
http://helen-sims.blogspot.com/2010/08/shed-and-rabbit.htmlhelen-sims.blogspot.com/2010/08/shed-and-rabbit.html. No guinea pigs.
Räsymatto Lots of these with many colors! Recycled canvas made into a rag rug
HimmeliJäälyhty, ice lantern Honestly you don't do these anywhere else in the World?
Snowslide and plastic sleds (ie not that wooden Santas sleigh) and anything related to snow. (Found
snow shovel here)
Piianpeili, "maiden's mirror" I've had this in maybe TS2 ages ago...
To be updated
Thank you!

Guinea Pigs are already in game.
Apple tree is already in game but there are these, I'm sure you can find something to work. I think there are mushrooms at the bottom of the page - https://aroundthesims3.com/objects/function_decorative_plants_09.shtml
There is a cute basket with knitting in this set (my internet was not cooperating so couldn't get to the specific item) - https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims3-sets-objects-livingroom/title/jasmine-living/id/1250269/
Not sure what you mean about stairs, but here is objects for under stairs. https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims3-sets-objects-study/title/under-stairs-shelving/id/1090382/
There are a few others as well, dog house, dresser and bed that will fit under stairs. Google "under stairs objects".
You can use regular walls along stairs instead of railings.
Doubt there is a "hay pole" (had to look that up) but hay stacks and bales, both square and round are in the game already.
A mangle (had to look that one up as well). Doubt it. But there is this set that looks rustic - http://modthesims.info/d/418119/budget-bathroom.html and https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims3-sets-objects-kitchen/title/🐸🐸🐸🐸-kitchen/id/1108440/ - not sure what you want the mangle for.
There is this too but the animations are not quite right - https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims3-objects-furnishing-plumbing-sinks/title/victorian-charm-kitchen-dry-sink-tsraa/id/1026089/
The only berries I'm aware of come as part of a set - https://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:72092
or this - http://modthesims.info/d/516243
Juniper tree, already in game. See here - http://modthesims.info/t/427058
This could pass as a mood ring - https://www.thesimsresource.com/themes/goth/downloads/details/category/sims3-accessories-rings-middlefinger/title/sintiklia--ring-brilliants/id/1252143/
Pirttipöytä! - Looked this up too. Picnic Table from what I gathered. Google search "around the sims 3 picnic tables", look at images and click the one you like, or all! I found 4 of them. Picnic tables are outdoors only furniture. If you are looking for something for indoors???? You might have to mix and match something to make it look like one. The thing is...benches don't work with dining tables, sadly.
For all other objects - Google is your friend. Or http://sssvitlans.tumblr.com/sims3cc
Well, hope this helped you and I just wanted to say that I found a really cute Scandinavian world just yesterday, so this 'ask' is ironic, in a way. It's here - https://gemeinsamesims3nachbarschaften.wordpress.com/adventskalender-2014-2/adventskalender-2014/
Good Luck, Create a World Tool, Beta is a pain.

Thank you so much for your post @KatyFernlily! I've been waiting for two days to be able to write back. I'm still going through the links, you made a massive work there! Some findings are for sure to be in my game, like the whole Jasmine Living set.
As I'm going for realism, I'm very picky and the EA items are in most cases a bit... off... I have all EPs, SPs and Store items, and things like the apple tree makes me just sad, so I'm replacing them with better ones
I forgot to mention, that there's no need for the items to be functional, since I'm not going to play anyway, but arrange pictures. I also posted a picture of a mangel I'm still looking for the picture about the staircase wall... I only need it for one place so far and have to live without it there doesn't exist one. Google is not my friend anymore I've search so much and for an example all the linked items I updated above are found other ways, some just by accident. Apparently Google is indexing Pinterest very well, since the pics there can be found much more easily than the original ones, which I think is a shame, but Tumblr post are hardly ever in the search results (if ever?). I think I'm getting old, since I'm one of the very late adapters of Simbrls!
I'll be testing the Smaskargard this evening! I'd do anything not having to mess around with CAW...
This is the closest thing to a "mangle", I think. Maybe it can be recolored? https://simsmarktplatz.blogspot.com/search?q=washing+machine
Thanks for updating your post - love looking at what you found!
These are my favorite rugs - http://lpvinyl21.tumblr.com/post/85041514844/hey-yall-i-uploaded-some-stuff-at-bps-today-a
Have you seen this set? https://aroundthesims3.com/objects/room_kitchen_04.shtml - https://aroundthesims3.com/objects/room_seasonal_04.shtml - https://aroundthesims3.com/objects/room_bedroom_07.shtml
Found some beautiful rugs (download spree!) Cool that it's color specific! - https://ohmysims.tumblr.com/tagged/Download:Rug
Candles - https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/browse/category/sims3/search/candle/
The only "himmeli" thing I've seen would be a ceiling lamp like this - https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Pilar/downloads/details/category/sims3-objects-furnishing-lighting-ceilinglamps/title/collector-lightingceiling/id/1319679/ or https://www.thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims3-objects-furnishing-lighting-ceilinglamps/title/erin-ceiling-pendant/id/1416370/
That's one massive dump of rugs (or two actually)... I found some that really caught my interest as räsymatto, but there were so many other beauties that I really need some time checking them...
Last night I was planning my Play Date on SSFF challenge 3. and realized there's no snow slides in TS3! That wouldn't be too impossible since we have the water slides, right? I haven't really used them, but the sims might always slide on their tummies rather than bums... Though that's a minor problem. The search continues! ^^
At least some of the lovely lpvinyl21's download links are not working, and lead to very disturbing sites where you can get malware. I tried to connect to them but haven't received an answer. I hope they're still active, because that stuff is amazing!
Here it is, once again sorry for the dead link I gave you - but you can at least can see what they look like and get the names, etc.

/waves hi!
Found another one, but it's attached to a dresser - http://sunsetsims.mustbedestroyed.org/index.php/2011/01/09/vitasims-princess-bedroom/
Now I realized there's no rye bread in my game, and I haven't found any... Rye bread disks drying under the ceiling or basic bread on the table, anything is better than nothing.
