    Not sure if this was mentioned, but maybe put up a list of some of the most bad custom content to watch out for that sometimes attaches itself to other CC like that Arezzo Counter, I think it is and that doll?

    Crinrict has sets of pretty comprehensive lists of these linked to on her blog, together with instructions on how to get rid of them.

    @igazor A lot of the items on that list I recognize as being from TSR, which is why I'm very cautious of what I download from there and only trust a small handful of creators.

    My current setup for blocking ads and malware:

    AdGuard (Not Free- installs to Windows and puts a plug-in in each of your browsers- in my opinion, it's the strongest blocker out there because it isn't just an extension like all the others) It will block ads, trackers, and so much more.

    Malware Bytes

    Opera Browser with a built-in ad-blocker

    Adblock Plus extension added to Opera Browser (yes, I realize that this is overkill at this point)

    uBlock Origin Extension added to Opera (Did I mention overkill?)

    With this setup, I am pretty safe from ads. Every year, I dump another $70 into AdGuard for 2 PCs. There's usually a sale, so it's not that high very often. It's totally worth it since you never know what the Extensions will let slip by. This lets me safely download from TSR.

    @Nabril - I know this is a bit OT for the OP. But for controlling adware, I use a Hosts file and it does the job for all my browsers, all the computers on my network and it's free. The HOSTs file can be tweaked if you disagree or want to add more locations included in the lists in the updates.

    @ariasunshine, I'm assuming you're playing TS4 by looking at your posting history. So if that is the case, then it might better to post this over in The Sims 4 Modding & Custom Content section of the site as this is a thread for TS3 CC sites. Someone over there might have an updated/post over in that section for TS4 CC sites... ;)

    So I wanted to do a post about some safe custom content web sites. Since people are always looking for them. If you have a website that is safe and has quality CC then post the link and I'll put in here!

    Hope this helps!

    I was just saying earlier that I need new sims 3 child hair! Lol. Thank you!

    This thread is kind of old.What do you need help with? You need to be a little more specific.XD

    @Graceybacey, this member plays Sims 4 and has spammed different threads with a list of things that's missing from the game even though some of the items are already in the game either in the base game, the different packs or through patches. They're probably looking for others to share the long list of items that they have on their page.

    Hark! We hear a cry for HELP across the dark wilderness! Could it be a damsel (or her male counterpart, a damoiseau or squire if you prefer) in distress? We don our suits of armour, or ripped flannel shirts, whatever we got, jump on our horses, or little red wagons, pogo sticks, etc., and are poised to assist! B)

    Hey there,

    Since this thread had been inactive since 2019 and the reason why it was bumped is pretty vague, I'm closing it as per our necroposting rules.
    Please start a new thread if the question/issue still persists.
