This one is a lifesaver if you never remember to save.

Saver – Prompts you to save after a given amount of playtime.I use it to reduce the price of groceries and books, and to lower bills.

Retuner – Another very handy NRaas mod that allows you to retune many different things.

Error Trap – This mod catches and corrects data corruption errors.

I find that this mod reduces lag – especially in saves with several generations of Sims.

Overwatch – Periodically cleans up errors and eliminates junk that accumulates while you play.

Also removes the “greater than 8” and “requires adult” restrictions.

Mover – I use this mod to retains the dreams and opportunities of Sims when I switch active households.

I also recommend the optional modules including Cheats, Integration, and Progression. Also allows you to select any Sim in the world.

Master Controller – Adds options that allow you to control and change just about anything in your Sims 3 world.

I also recommend downloading the optional modules for this mod especially Career, Extra, Money, Others, Population, Relationship, and Skill.

Story Progression – Replaces EA’s Story Progression with a MUCH better system.

These mods are essential, and I could not play without them. I typically play each game in cycles, so this list will be updated when I’m in a Sims 3 cycle. I update this page as I add mods to my game or remove the ones I no longer use. Just like my Sims 2 mods list and S ims 4 mods list, this list is a constant work in progress. These are all the mods I use in my game, organized by category. Here is my recommended mods list for The Sims 3. Little Mortimer scours the web for all the best Sims 3 Mods.
