Murf's Top 50 Mods - Part 3 (2020 - 2023 Edition)
Tumblr media
I made a Top 50 list (Pt 1 and Pt2) back in 2016, talking about mods that I've used & love. But with all the goated content that the amazing TS3 community continues to churn out, I NEEDED to update my list! This one in no way diminishes or negates the other mods I've already listed--like, I shouldn't have to sit here and explain how NRAAS continues to carry TS3 on its freaking shoulders, ok. This is just MORE mods, the Top 50 most RECENT ones I've tried out since, like, quarantine.
I am a VERY niche simmer--I love fantasy gameplay, so my fave mods are the ones that not only offer general quality of life improvements, but also add new abilities and interactive objects inspired by different cultures, time periods, or genres. So y'all already KNOW which ones have earned my top spots. They're not based on which mods are "better," just which ones I personally have been using the most.
1: Smooth Patch, LazyDuchess
I've already gushed about this mod, but oh well. Like--I use an EFFTON of CC. My Live Mode gameplay itself doesn't tend to lag so much as my game's slow to LOAD, slow to save, CAS is a nightmare, I can do my taxes waiting for the Misc Decor section to open, etc etc. But the Smooth Patch loads everything so much quicker for me! 😭
Tumblr media
One thing is that on the EA App version (curse you, EA) the Master Controller package didn't work on my end, so I took it out, but everything else has been great!
2: Search Mod, LazyDuchess
Speaking of the Misc Decor section -- HOW LONG did we ask EA for a Search function y'all? Only to be ignored. Then the second TS4 is released, it ain't got a effing thing in it, but it's got a Search function??? 🤔 ISTG it's like the simgurus were told to take all of the TS3 community's best suggestions, and poach them for TS4 (like vampire coffins--NO I'm not over it!). WHY do modders have to do your frikkin job for you, EA?! I call EA lazy all the time cuz EA you suck, so it's the most ironic thing ever that LazyDuchess is out here KILLING IT.
Tumblr media
My ONLY "complaint" about the Search mod is the position of the icon. I use A LOT of Collection Files, and I noticed that the Search icon actually covers the Delete button when in the Collection viewer. So I can't delete items in collections with the Search icon in the way.
Tumblr media
But this is a MINOR nitpick--I almost never delete items, it's just something I noticed is all.
3 - 8: OCCULT MODS: EVERYTHING by @puddingface1902
Tumblr media
Y'all already know the Enhanced Witches mod is my favorite mod ever made. But PF1902 also made cool enhancements to the Fairies, Genies, Vampires, Werewolves, and Mermaids too! My sims are usually Nraas hybrids (e.g.: Sakura is a faery, witch & plantsim; Magnus Bane is a witch & genie; etc.), so it's FANTASTIC having so many new abilities for my magical occults. 😍
9 - 11: OCCULT MODS by xantak22
Tumblr media
Even more occult mods at MTS are for enhanced Plantsims, Ghosts, and Mummies! I was dying for more Plantsim abilities, omg, they're my 3rd fave occult after Witches & Fae.
12: Sim Control Tools by Knight
Sooooo many quality of life mods have come out! ^0^
Tumblr media
I've been ABUSING the Teleport To Me function, to quickly get sims off of lots & where I need them to be. It also lets sims unlock more Social/Romantic interactions. (Now all we need is a way to interact with sims from EA's useless thumbnails.)
13 - 18: @anitmb's mods
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are SOOOO many--most I've yet to even try. But so far newer ones I've been using are the Deck of Cards (FINALLY something other than EA's bulky AF poker table!), Farm Mod (look at all these CHICKENS!), and Hunting mod so my 8000 archer sims can actually hunt! (Ofc I've also used the Woodcutter and Anvil mods in my older gameplay posts, too.) And @mspoodle1's edit of the Cup of Tea mod is so pretty.
Tumblr media
19: @mspoodle1's Poker table
Tumblr media
Another excellent cards mod is this medieval style poker table I use a lot now, too.
20: @omedapixel's Wildflowers DR
Tumblr media
I like EA's default wildflowers from SSNS, but Omeda's are just sooooo much nicer. (I haven't gotten around to trying out their Harvestable Plant DR yet.)
21: Swordfighting mod by CyrusBanefort
En garde! This mod is so freaking epic!
Tumblr media
One thing I've noticed is that the game lags while it waits for the mod to boot up (a message has to first pop up saying it's running when you first launch your saves). But other than that this mod is excellent.
22 - 24: Yoga rugs
Tumblr media
I've long been using the yoga rugs by Kitabalibar and the edited one from @mspoodle1. But now there's the newest one by @twinsimming, with brand new animations & features. The more the merrier I say, LOL. What's especially neat is the kids wobbling around as they try to do yoga! :3
25 - 30: TheSweetSimmer's mods--so cute! :3
Tumblr media
Omg so frikkin many, I can't even catch up! The interactions are so freaking precious, like from the More Toddler Interactions (cuddle, look at, etc) & Biggest Little Mod (hug legs), I've never had so much fun playing with kids! <3 And I LOVE that they can Catch Butterflies and Pick Flowers--you'd think plantsim children would be able to do this by default, EA! Honestly, just grab everything by TSS, your kid sims will thank you!
31 - 33: @spheresims Medieval/Nature/Tribal mods
Tumblr media
Y'all know I'm crazy about the Functional Fireplaces mod (the cauldrons, baby! 😈), but the One with Nature and Wildlife Hunting mods are great too, perfectly complimenting the off-the-grid realness.
34: @olomayasims/Cmomoney Smoking Mod Overhaul
The original smoking mod was on my first Top 50 list, so it's awesome seeing it get new upgrades, interactions & animations.
Tumblr media
I've never smoked IRL, but sooooo many of my sims just puff-puff away; I'm such an enabler. U_U Now all we need is cigars and pipes!
35 - 38: Callia-Evergreen/Camkitty's CAS CC for animal hybrids at MTS
Tumblr media
Not a "mod" per se, but whatever--my list my rules! I love ALL of their CC, but I get SO MUCH use out of animal-themed CC like the digitigrade sliders, wolf feet, lizard tails, and fae wings. Do check them out if you like to play with horror and monster-sims!
39: @greenplumbboblover's Sheep
Tumblr media
EASILY one of the most incredible mods I've ever seen. Like....HOW? (Once @omedapixel's Goats are done I'm gonna start screaming someone do llamas pleeeeeaaaaase!!!)
40: Arsil's musical instruments mod
Tumblr media
I used the sax most recently in my IWTV gameplay, and it was excellent, perfect for the NOLA vibes! However, although I use the flute A LOT more (for my Untamed gameplay--it's been such a GODSEND!), I really wish the hands were positioned better, preferably using the poses from Chisims' flute poseset. (But I don't eff with poses/animations, otherwise I'd do it myself. U_U) Ah well, it's still one of my fave mods though.
Tumblr media
41 - 42: Flower Arranging mod by zoe22 + @mspoodle1's Florist Collection
Tumblr media
Guys, I've been wanting this mod since FOREVER! ^0^ (I swear, the best thing about TS4 is all the 4t3 conversions, LMAO!) I just wish Teens could Dabble and use it, too--all they can do is stock the table.
43: Just Sit/Nap Anywhere by FloTheory
Tumblr media
Sometimes you just want sims to fall asleep anywhere, DANG, EA!
44: @sweetdevil-sims' Toddler Food DR
Tumblr media
Cuz EA's food is UUUUUUUUGLY~! I kept forgetting to install it, only to be rudely reminded every time I had to look at my toddler sims eating MUD.
45 - 46: @mspoodle1's mail pen quill DR and @omedapixel's pencil quill DR
Tumblr media
I looooove quill pens IRL (ballpoint pens, not the fountain pens--I'm way too messy), so having mods that let my sims use them too is 👌
47: Fireflies Enhanced! by Canibal_MLO
Tumblr media
I love anything that enhances the wildlife and collectibles/harvestables to be more dynamic and interactive. And I was JUST about to do a firefly catching scene for my IWTV insp. gameplay, so this came right on time! The falling leaves effect is delightful, but I kinda wish it was falling flower petals instead, cuz ofc I do. 🌸
48: Unicorn Aurora DR by Canibal_MLO
Tumblr media
GORGEOUS. This mod replaces the unicorn mist with northern lights, like.... I love the genius ideas simmers have.
49: Custom Plumbbob Color tool by CrossTheMersey
Tumblr media
What a neat idea! Although the default Maxis colors are ingrained in my psyche, with the iconic green plumbbob, as soon as I saw this mod I knew I wanted to at least try something different and play around with it.
50: @aa6x7's Teru Teru Bozu + other edits [Honorable Mention]
Tumblr media
I rave about Cmomoney's Time/Weather Mod all the time, I use it constantly. AA6x7's Teru Teru Bozu (Japanese "Sunshine Monk" charms) is kinda like a simpler version of it, as it just resets bad weather back to Sunny. But it's such a cute idea and perfect for my gameplay. Plus, AA6x7 makes all kinds of neat edits/mods to EA's bulky AF meshes, so if you haven't checked them out already, DO!
Tumblr media
And that's all the mods I've managed to try out recently!
I don't have anywhere near the kind of free time that I used to, so my simming has been put on the backburner and I've missed all kinds of cool and exciting releases. But trust: I am taking note, so that I know what to try once I have time.
All my deepest & sincerest gratitude & love to the entire sims community, for keeping The Sims 3 going--this year was the 14th anniversary! Here's to 14 more! 🥳 Happy Simming!

TSM to TS3 Conversion of Random Medieval Garments
A TSM to TS3 conversion compilation of several previously unconverted clothes for all your Sims! I finished this project about two months ago but wanted to save it for a special occasion... and what's more special than a followers' gift? lol. Hope you like it!
This is part ONE of my 2000 followers' gift. Yes, there is more, and it’s coming very soon! :)
💖 💖 💖
————— —————
Based on my testing, I haven't found any issues with the clothes. They mostly use the same bone assignment system, and the only difference is how TSM handles skirts, which I adapted for TS3. If you come across anything, please let me know!
LIGHTING GLITCHES ONLY APPEAR ON CAS! (THE BURNT PAJAMAS LOOK ESPECIALLY BAD THERE)
* Note that teens and elders have neck gaps. This is sadly the price for having them available! For teens, try using this and this slider by gruesim! I might convert these for those specific age groups someday, but for now, I just activated them!
————— —————
ALL OG CREDITS GO TO EA AND MAXIS! IT’S NOT MY MESHES, AND IT’S NOT MY TEXTURES, I JUST CONVERTED THEM TO THE SIMS 3!
+ @aprilrainsimblr​ FOR THE EXTRA TEXTURES ON SOME CLOTHES & FOR DOING MOST OF THE WORK IN THE COMMONER WHITE DRESS! THANK YOU SO MUCH APRIL!
————— —————  
NOTES (PLEASE READ):
As mentioned before, April played a significant role in this project, not only with her support but also with her contributions! The Commoner White Dress was primarily converted by her, and it comes in two versions: the regular one and one with a floor-length skirt! She also added extra presets to certain clothes, such as the Flowing Dress (purple), which has three lace variations! Once again, thank you, April!
IMPORTANT: Except for the burned pajamas for female Sims, you'll need to use the invisible shoes mesh by @danjaley​​, which you can find here! This is because TSM clothes have feet/shoes attached to them!
In the "Making Sims 3 Medieval" server, I saw an idea for making the Altar Necklace outfit (the one with the cross necklace and purple details) more historically accurate, along with directions on how to do it! So, for those who enjoy super realistic medieval gameplay, I included an edit aiming to achieve that, as shown in the preview! It's only available for male Sims. Hope you enjoy it!
The polycount for all the clothes is relatively low, as they were made similar to TS3's clothes. So don't worry about that and use them without hesitation!
All the clothes have 3-4 recolorable channels! They have many overlays, but I hope that won't bother you because I made everything I wanted to recolor recolorable!
These conversions have a different thumbnail style! I wanted to retain the original TSM thumbnails but added my logo to let you know these are mine! Here's an example thumbnail + the collaborative dress between me and April:

New stuff for beautiful royal brides and fiances!
Mena Wedding Headgear from Crusader Kings III
Poly count: 3,000
Category: Accessories, Necklace
Gender: Male & Female
Sliders: Hat slider compatible
Recolourable: Yes
Download: here
Important:
The item has glitchy extra-elements in CAS. They aren't displayed in game mode, it's CAS glitch.
There is a hole in one of folds, which is visible if viewing by specfic angle. Cannot fix it 'cause I have no idea why it is still displayed after being deleted literally from every place.
Published as is.
If you have ideas how to make this mesh better, please share your thoughts. CK3 wardrobe items are low poly and currently it's the best quality I can get.

Maxis-Match Medievaloid Miscellany, Part 1: Young Adult and Adult Male Clothing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Item 1: The Al-Andalus Tunic Skirt. A retexture of EA's Large Belted Kilt mesh with editsims' Tara Skirt textures, this tunic is a simple and classic tunic-style bottom. One recolorable channel at 4x4; available for too many categories to list, but it is fully morphed.
Tumblr media
Item 2: The Dalriada Tunic Skirt. Another retexture of the EA Large Belted Kilt mesh, this time using PoppySims' pleated skirt textures, this tunic has pleats (or gores) for extra flair. One recolorable channel at 4x4; available for too many categories to list, but it, also, is fully morphed. Works well with lower-slung belt accessories.
Tumblr media
Item 3: The Danelaw Tunic and Trousers. This is editsims' Disparate Youth skirt layered over EA's Kung Fu pants; suitable for the more active (or cold) individual. Three recolorable channels at 4x4 tiling. While it's available for quite a few categories, it doesn't have a pregnancy morph.
Tumblr media
Item 4: The Byzantium Top. This is EA's World Adventures Chinese Sophisticate top layered over Supernatural's Top With Infinity Scarf. It's a very fancy top, in my opinion. Four recolorable channels at 4x4 tiling; available for Everyday, Formalwear, Career, Makeover, and Maternity to make it more ~exclusive~ than the others.
Tumblr media
Download them all here (package file only): http://simfileshare.net/folder/196853/
Or download them at simblr.cc here.
Credits, in alphabetical order:
@aprilrainsimblr for holding my hand through morphing the Danelaw bottom, as well as providing Alasdair's top | @camoflash004 for the bones and morphs from their TS4 skirt conversion, which I used as a reference | @club-crimsyn for Kiran's hosen | @danjaley for the Bayeux Tapestry, Standing and Talking, and Temple of Aphaia poses | EAXIS for their textures and meshes | editsims / littlecat for their skirt textures and meshes | MograSims for Alasdair's and Bruno's shoes | @nectar-cellar for walking me through Mesh Toolkit about a year ago now; additionally, for Kiran Prasad, who I Maxis Matchified and used as a model | @ninjaofthepurplethings for Karl Melton, who I also Maxis Matchified and used as a model | OneEuroMutt for Alasdair's and Bruno's hosen | PoppySims for their skirt textures | @simlicious for the patterns (your wool fabrics save my life every time) and for providing Bruno's top | @sweetdevil-sims for Kiran's shoes

Travel Pouch as Accessory
teen-elder female
2 recolor channels: fabric and buckles
classified as "right garter"
This is a Skyrim conversion, extracted from the mage apprentice robes. Works best over bulkier clothing.
I classified it as "right garter" because I wanted it to be layerable and - who even uses that category?

  TSM to TS3 Conversion of TSM’s King’s Closet Collection
A TSM to ts3 conversion from 4 royal outfits for all your kings, ‘cause we can’t get enough of some tsm conversions, especially for royalty! Hope you like it! Enjoy! <3
Many tsm conversions coming, along with the remaining hls conversions and VS re-conversions! :)
————— —————
Known Problems:
The capes clip with the arms when the sim moves their arms back a lot. Apparently TSM has some bones that ts3 does not, and the capes work fine there, but on ts3 they don’t work as intended lol. But I did my best and think these are the best results!
LIGHTING GLITCHES ONLY APPEAR ON CAS!
* Note that teens and elders have unsolvable neck gaps. This is sadly the price for having them available! for teens, try using this slider by gruesim!
————— —————
ALL OG CREDITS GO TO EA & MAXIS! IT’S NOT MY MESHES, AND IT’S NOT MY TEXTURES, I JUST CONVERTED THEM TO THE SIMS 3!
————— —————
NOTES:
IMPORTANT: I decided to make a new thumbnail style for these TSM conversions, as seen at the bottom of the previews, because there isn’t really a way for me to take screenshots of them in Blender since they don’t have presets like ts4′s cc, and because they already have thumbnails attached to them I decided to re-use them! Hope you’re all okay with that!
The outfit with the fur coat has 6 presets, all courtesy of @aprilrainsimblr​, with different jewel colors and masks! I hope you enjoy them!
The one with the coat of arms has 2 presets: one with it, and one without!

TSM to TS3 Commoner Outfit conversion part 1
Tumblr media
Or, alternatively, my designated Beefcake Blacksmith™ outfit. It’s a very neutral and versatile outfit for your peasants and craftsmen, and it’s actually quite low-poly for a full-body outfit with shoes and 3D laces, so the NPCs in your town can rejoice 😄
Tumblr media
The outfit is enabled for everyday, formalwear, athletic and career, it has all morphs including the dad morph, and the shape has been adjusted to fit TS3 body more closely. The shoes are part of the outfit, so you’ll need these for it to work properly. I’m sorry for hyping you up with the ‘part 1′ in the title since my next upload will be an outfit for noblemen but I have more peasant clothes in the working.

Credits to EA for the textures and meshes. See under the cut for previews and more info.

Polycount: LOD1 - 4773 polygons, LOD2 - 2210 polygons, LOD3 - 935 polygons.
Four presets: dirty with ripped pants, clean with ripped pants, and two presets with mended pants, but I have the dumbest ass in the West so I forgot to take in-game pictures of the edited pants, I’m sorry for the crappy TSRW preview :(
