Did you guys find any mods that you didn't have previously that I introduced you to?! I'd be really interested to know! And do you have any mods that you use daily that you recommend to me? I'd love to check some of them out! twitter.com/acottonsock

[@lem0nplays469]

The sleep on sofa mod is great I've been looking for something like it, thank you!

[@Zonnyzone96]

All traits for all ages. I was wondering why my second generation sims were pretty vanilla when it came to their traits

[@stacybibi3058]

Thanks for the Sleep on sofa mod, its perfect :) it’s always bothered me when my sim have to take several naps on the couch because his relationship isn’t enough high with another sim to sleep in the same bed :(

[@acottonsock]

Right! It totally feels like they should already be able to do this in base game!

[@IAmMomhousekeeperinhartfordct]

I do not think, there will ever be a new sims that will out do the sims 3. I played all of them till 4, went back to 3 been playing it for years. I Am a 45-year-old female. I did delete the stupid pt 4 as soon as I bought it. That was the worst ever created. So thank you for your shared info.

[@floraltart]

i agree! 🤍

[@totaldramasimmer1]

Fun fact children can have the mean-spirited trait without the all traits mod. I don't have the mod and my children can have the mean-spirited trait :)

[@acottonsock]

It’s hard for me to tell, haven’t played without the mod in a long time 😩

[@MPPlays]

You can also use master controller to remove days off but I like the method of the mod in this video much better! Thank you for showcasing it because I didn't know it existed :)

[@acottonsock]

I actually didn't know about the master controller method! Thank you!

[@stacybibi3058]

Yes I always use Master Controller (sim > Intermediate > Career > Time off). You can choose how many days off you want to add or cancel to any sims, pregnant or not. It’s easier to use than Retuner and it doesn’t change maternity leave to all pregnant sims.

[@thenowhere2]

I was literally looking for transportation fee mods and I was going to specifically search them after watching this video but, whoot here it is! Also THANK YOU for being a considerate communicator in your sims 'remastered' videos- being clear and concise and even slowed down in your speech and repeating big concepts. This is such a pet peeve of mine across the web in general... don't get me started on flashing prompts >:(

[@probablyjustsnails]

Thank you for this ! They're tiny tweaks but really helpful ones ^^-

[@acottonsock]

💖💖 Of course!

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

I really enjoyed this video, I’m gonna sub now

You're so welcome!

[@deyz7429]

I really like your content, will we ever get your mods folder?

[@acottonsock]

Unfortunately uploading my mods folder would violate many of the mod creators TOU! But I have videos of me CC shopping and showing my favorite sites!

[@deyz7429]

@@acottonsock Thanks for the answer

[@CiseilEverburning]

Thx for suggestions 😃😃

[@acottonsock]

No problem 😊

[@FoxTrap86]

Great video, however I'm not sure the all trait mod you linked is the same as the one you were talking about? I've been taken to More traits, which just up the max of amount of traits for anyone, not unlock traits for young age groups.

[@acottonsock]

I've just corrected the link in the description! Thank you for letting me know!

[@seatheparade]

Thanks for the recs, especially the maternity leave one! I recently installed sims 3, I'm going to set up my mods folder soon but I heard I can only install mods if I register my CD key on my EA store account (for sims 3). Is this true? I hope it's not cause' steam doesn't show my original sims 3 base game key on there 😅

[@acottonsock]

Nope, anyone can install mods!

[@seatheparade]

@@acottonsock Thanks so much! :D

[@menaoleehoshizora6671]

Hello, there is a mod where you're sim can wear any clothes from any age, exemple a teen can wear adult clothes

[@acottonsock]

You have to find CC conversions that people have made of adult -> teen clothing. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the "teen pregnancy clothes" mod, which converted almost every piece of CC base game clothing for female teens. Don't worry, your Sim DOES NOT have to be pregnant in order to use it. Non-pregnant teens can also use it! modthesims.info/d/492712/teen-female-maternity-wear.html

[@pearldiver6949]

You can change CAS settings to let teens wear adult clothes using MasterController, however the clothes will still be modeled for adult bodies, i.e. they’ll be thicker/curvier, and will probably clip with teen clothing and heads/feet

[@amandamyshrall]

where did you find the mod for time to work again cancel time off mod for the sims 3 I would like to have it in my game

[@acottonsock]

It’s in the description!

[@joycemontanez3949]

I'm having trouble with my mods! They aren't showing up in the game :( Can someone help me?

[@catradora.]

My sim was pregnant and she returned to work TWO WEEKS after. It made me so mad. Thanks to you, now I can cancel this bullshit. Again, thank you so much!!!

[@camyxx991]

How does your pregnancy moodlet say 33 hours left? 😮😮 Mine just has a straight line with no specific time remaining!

[@acottonsock]

It's a part of Awesome mod!

[@marinacrespo1]

The mod all traits for all ages is not working for me :(

[@lu_li_lu]

Why do we need additional mods to remove weekends from pregnant sims, if MC has a function to remove weekends. I do it in my game)

[@sentimentalmariner590]

Hi if you find the time can you tell me what face mod you are using?

[@acottonsock]

Face mod?

[@TheDullestGuyThatEverExisted]

There isn't any mod to play with a raccoon which is in our actif family? By the way nice video! I can't believe i still playing this since 2009... time go fast...

[@acottonsock]

I don't think so, but that'd be really cool!

[@TheDullestGuyThatEverExisted]

@@acottonsock True! I am not a modder in Sims games so i can't do it sorry. I have another question by the way, do you know why do some sims have a lag whiche make them be on the floor? We can't see them, we only see their thoughts and the green cristal that i don't remember the name... that arrives to some of npc who are not neighbors and to my actif family too. Sorry what i said is a little confusing but i hope you understoop.

[@pucksheet4456]

do you guys know any mods that ignore the death of other sims

[@acottonsock]

Do you mean a mod that removes the reactions Sims do when they see ghosts?

[@user-mv8pm9xj8h]

retuner is my fave, along a lot of other mods. my problem is the dresser mod, i just dont know how to block some dresses for master controller. retuner, you can fix the swim for fatigue, how long can child be out on curfew etc. get thunderstruck (lol, if you want to thunder struck any sims at any age, lol) and if i dont want those dolls becoming adults automatically none. but i havent been playing for a very long time. i can remember some stuff when i got back in the game again after many years. i really need a lesson on dresser, i can reroll their dresses, but i feel like i dont wanna do it everytime. only way is the block list, which i dont know how until now. i do want to control npc, or do total annihilation, i dont want story progressions, since i want to control my own town. i wish there is a mod for npc not wearing the dresses that i downloaded, sometimes they mess up the whole town, like when i am playing roaring heights. its about the 1940s era theme, but they keep giving me probs. i want to make it from 1940-1980. but mods are messing my game when they grow up on how they dress. lol

[@acottonsock]

I actually looked into blacklisting (as it’s called) with Dresser. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to block CC clothes with Dresser, which is literally all I wanted it for & I couldn’t even do that. 😕 I ended up getting rid of it. It’s one of the only main stream NRAAS mods I do not have because I wanted it for ONE reason and I couldn’t even do that! (You can only blacklist the in game clothes, not CC. 🥲)

[@soreyuri]

i thought this was sims 4 for a minute

[@acottonsock]

It's as beautiful as TS4, is it not?

[@SinfulSimming]

Grabbed the sleep on sofa mod!! Ahh!! Did you know about the petrol mod?

[@jesseMadoo]

Where did you get the "Hollywood" sign for Sims 3? I've looked but was never able to find one. Thanks!

[@acottonsock]

It's part of the Sims 3 Showtime world, Starlight Shores!

[@jesseMadoo]

@@acottonsock Ok, I do have Showtime, but I play Sunset Valley. Is there any way to "transplant" that item?

[@OpalKramerable]

@@acottonsock yes, it's in a debug menu

[@allisonsroom9420]

@@jesseMadoo you need to go to edit town, you'll find this in the three dots to go to save but press edit town and not options. Then you need to do cheats (ctrl shift c) and do " testingcheatsenabled true " now do the debug command which I don't remember... I believe it is "debug on" but just type help and you will find it. Now you need to actually build in the town and find the Hollywood sign, all you have to do now is put it somewhere where it will fit. If you can't get it in the place you want, maybe try "moveobjects on"

[@aysu1420]

I cant download cc. Does anyone know why? I already created a mods folder and downloaded resource
