For the first time ever I installed mods in my sim game.
I downloaded no hobby stalkers, stopping people from breaking into my house and giving me hobby cards. I also got a breastfeeding mod that I'll have to check and see if it works right. I also downloaded a bunch of foods
Now I have tacos, jerk (wow really. this word is censored. It's a Jamaican food) chicken, bibambap and supreme pizzas XD

The Sims has currently lost its identity. Bring it back for TS5

I have a lot right now, I guess. I have a smarter lights mod that turns the lights off and on when Sims enter and leave the rooms in homes.
One to make more walkbys and cars drive by my Sims' houses. (doesn't cover community lots). It's fun to see cars passing by my Sims houses with a real Sim in them. lol (cars, trucks, cabs, police, busses, custom travel busses too, all of them in game and or any custom cars in game so it would seem).
One to stop witches from appearing on my owned business lots. It got very annoying years ago. I just use a cheat to turn my Sims into witches these days, so I can get down to hexing Sims. They can still travel to the hidden witch lots.
An old one to stop the effects on stereos from animating but it no longer works.
I can't remember if I have the startup cheat in folder so I don't have to type the whole boolprop for every boolprop cheat.
Mods I pull out and put back in:
Dirt road and different type neighborhood cars and or wagons or classic cars, or cobble stone streets etc. that affect all hoods.
A mod to keep witches looking like they are in the normal state.
Semi Global:
Many different paintings and objects so I don't have to enter cheats but can just click on the object to change something. Or dance animations and or things for machinima clips such as running through reactions and or emotions etc.
TwoJeffs' object mod to correct any relationships if they have become disassociated by me doing something silly like controlling a visiting Sim which can result in a disconnection of family ties. It does a lot of other stuff, too.
I used to have a mod object to change aspiratons and LTWs but can't remember what happened to it.
And a mod that allows me to control any Sim on any lot, even visiting my own Sims so I don't miss visiting neighbors so much. lol I switch to that Sim while on a home lot and it's like visiting my own Sims. lol
A mod to live above a store in an apartment building. It was great, but I pull that one in and out depending on what hood I'm playing or if I remove a custom hood where I do that.
A mod that allows the Uni worker to serve food to Sims living in apartments. ( common area of the building)
A mod that allows my Sim (long before AL) to be the landlord of any house in the hood. Set the rent then collect and get paid from my other Sims.
Invisible driveways and extensions. Those are great.
Things I don't have in game right now but have used:
Toddler being able to climb stairs.
Rideable horses mod.
Rideable trikes, and other things.
Clown NPCs at carnavals in my game. They entertained my Sims while at a fair or carnaval. (npc place holder they stand on)
Rideable carnaval rides such as rollercoasters, water falls they rode through, etc.
Custom chickens and sounds. Sims go watch them. (for fun)
All sorts of custom Star Trek weapons that some could kill off Kirk or Picard. lol
And a lot of different custom careers but have to remember not to delete those before having the Sim quit the job so I don't use much of those anymore.
One of my favorites I still use the sit anywhere with drink (instead of standing) they will look (probably) for the most comfortable chair in the room so it seems they are normal and sit with drinks in the living room or a parlor etc. It's great as some Sims are having a drink while seated and having a conversation just like on the soaps. lol But with the drink machine drinks they will choose the floor on community lots.
I used to have a lot of custom buffet foods and different desserts such as icecream in the fridge. Used to have a lot of custom foods to serve, but some custom plates actually messed up my game a long time ago, (when game was current) so I never did use custom plates anymore. But the foods may not be the problem but custom plate.
ETA: I think I may be addicted to cc because I had 13GBs at one time, many things extracted from many different games, more of a darker, grungy look to them such as Silent Hill etc. those also may have an assoiciated action but mostly decor and or building materials etc.
I know I have more, those are just the ones I thought of. I'm very picky about what I add to my game and I still ended up with hundreds of mod and CC files.
If we're talking gameplay mods and not so much objects/clothes/etc. then I have quite a few things that fix annoyances or that just tweak gameplay more to my liking. This isn't everything but they are the ones that stick out most to me. Note these are the places that I originally found them, it's been a few years since I downloaded them so they may be hosted elsewhere now:
Squinge (from InSIMenator) -
Simlogical - Various and depends on what you are looking for but well worth a look as there's a lot of useful things there.
Jfade (DJS Sims)
MATY
ModtheSims
Simbology - Various fixes and annoyance fixes including
Sims2Workshop
If you want things for your business Retail Sims has a lot of good sets for different types of shops. I've heard the site is closing down soon though so best to get there sooner rather than later. There's also a nice bakery set on MTS (Antique Bakery I think it's called).
Buggybooz on blogspot has a couple of lovely kitchen sets which I use a lot.
OMSPs (One more slot packages) - I use sets made by SilentLucidity, JohnBrehaut1 and AriffRazalin.
Fakepeeps has some adorable default replacements so your babies wear an outfit instead of just a nappy. You can only use one at a time but it looks so much cosier than just leaving them in a nappy.
Hysterical Paroxysm - Default Replacements for the bedding.
Phaenoh - Clean Social Bunny
Awasegg - Ultimate Pet Eyes (I use ice set 2)
Last thing I'll mention is that I'm currently trying out the Honeygold Redux skintone set by Dreadpirate. Not sure if I'm going to stick with it but I like it a lot more than some of the defaults out there as it's more Maxis Match like, it's almost too pretty though.
I also like the baby outfits!
Faster universities
The 'ask to be just friends' interaction, deletes the romance relationship without any consequences/(bad) memory
Children can chat on computer
Last name dialog when you get married
Hacked coat to buy clothing (for free)
Job noticeboard
Bring friend home from work/school dialog
Invisible driveway
I use to have default skins/eyes etc but I kinda like the oldschool look from the Sims 2.
