CC Recommendations?

rubyskywalker

Recently I browsed TSR and The Sims 3 Exchange for cc to add in. So far 1 out of 3 I've tried installing would install (Guessing they require an ep I don't have but didn't specify)

Anyway, I'm looking for some CC Recommendations for my TS3 game. I currently have Pets, Seasons, and Late Night eps as well as High End Loft Stuff SP, and plan to get Generations, University Life, Ambitions, Showtime, and either IP or WA for "Vacation Destinations" ( Leaning towards IP since I prefer a tropical resort to trips to france/china/Egypt)

I like a realistic game experience. Extra things to make gameplay interesting would be cool (Such as a naptime mat I've seen but don't remember where it's from?). I'd also like more clothing and accessories, and furniture. I was looking for decent looking Disney items to add to it for the little ones
If you know any that would include EPs I will get soon do include those as well so I will know of them ahead of time.

Do you like player made towns? You could try Mesa Grande. It's a base game town with some CC that comes included. Of course, everybody's game experience is different but for me this town performs immaculately. There's no lag. I have the 1.5 version which has a unique sports center and more trees but I don't see it on the official forum post. Maybe I missed it...in any case the 1.5 version can be found here. The official forum post has a link to a Seasonal Festival lot as well as Ambitions lots if you decide to pick that EP up. That post is here.

The napping mats can be found here.

Forgot to put Ambitions and Showtime EPs up there...

I don't use much CC, but I use a lot of game enhancing mods:

When sims get married they used to be able to write "Thank you" notes to the guests, but a patch broke it.However someone created a mod to fix that.

This mod adds more prizes to the festival ticket booth

This one adds more recipes and plants

I love Ruby's home designs

This one adds longer seasons

This one let's you order "Delivery" from restaurants and also let's you buy "take out"
http://modthesims.info/d/413311/buy-takeout-and-order-food-at-restaurants.html

This one makes it so you you don't have "unlimited" food in your fridge, without it you could just buy the ingredients from the fridge.
This one makes it so you have to go to the grocery store and get ingredients.

@Mikezumi Thanks for the link. A nap mat seems more appropriate for some of my sims' families than carrying their little ones a ways to their cribs or them falling asleep anywhere!

@KatyFernlily Thanks! I'll check that out soon.

@GraceyManor Thanks! Those sound interesting! Especially Longer Seasons one (Will help me with my realistic sim families who I want to age after a year (all 4 sims seasons, currently 28 simdays...) which seemed a little short after I tried it... though maybe not, considering I made baby and toddler shorter since they're much more stressful on working sim families who can't afford a babysitter every single day (guess that's where logic comes in... one sim on day shift, one on evening, so someone's home at least, until they can afford a babysitter? [At least until I get Ambitions and can do Self-Employed or Daycare... I like a challenge])

GraceyManor

Yeah, I love the seasons one, it maxes out at 84 days per season, so about 363 days total, almost a full year.

Is there a mod to add more holidays if you did do longer seasons?

Some suggested settings can be found here - https://simsarahsarah.tumblr.com/tempest
I believe you will also need Story Progression and Master Controller to add those days off work as well.

@KatyFernlily thanks!

Anyone know any good cc Disney posters or paintings or room decor?

@KatyFernlily Thanks!

I have so much cc to look for tomorrow.... o.o

rubyskywalker

One more to ask for... realistic cc clothes

Example: Nike, PINK, Aeropostale, Hollister, etc
Anything like that.
