One of the benchmarks of the Sims franchise has always been custom content.
While Maxis has been good about putting out Stuff Packs full of Maxis created goodies, the fan created custom content has tended to exceed what Maxis delivers both in terms of the amount of content and the subject matter – user created content is usually created to fulfill a direct need/request.
Looks like that’s about to change with the announcement of Maxis’s Create-a-World Tool.

With the Create-a-World Tool, Maxis is putting the creation of towns in your hands and will allow you to make anything that your brain can come …read more

Here I was thinking that all Fresh-Prince does is make kick-ass cars and now I’ve been proven wrong!
He also makes kick-ass pumpkins.
I don’t figure it’s much of a jump. Think about Cinderella and how the pumpkin turned into a coach. I suppose you could assume that these pumpkins might turn into coaches…or, you could just assume they are pretty decorative pumpkins that will dress up any Fall Sims gathering.
These guys aren’t recolourable so don’t try and who really wants a purple pumpkin anyway? I mean, I’m sure there are some of you out there who think that would be pretty …read more

I had some other ideas for the title of this but, “Drezella Relute – Kind of maybe possibly dead cool looking Sim chick for Sims 3″  just didn’t have the same ring to it.
This Sim has a great backstory and a lot of times, I think that story is what makes the Sims “come alive” for me. This Sim, Drezella Relute, is original enough though that I figure you could just post a picture of her and a download link and I’d get her for my game.
There are six different custom content items that you need to download if you …read more

These sneakers for Sims 3 guys make me so happy.
If you’ve been playing Sims 3 for very long [like longer than a day] then you’ve probably gotten a bit bored with what’s offered as default shoes for guys.
These new shoes are new in every sense of the word.
New mesh. New colors. New everything.
A new mesh means that these are truly new items and they won’t replace anything that you already have in your game.
Sims2Time did a great job on these and you can find even more shoes to download [for guys and girls] on her profile page for Mod the …read more

The Land Rover is one of my favorite vehicles on the road and it’s nice to have another SUV for my Sims 3 game.
I OBVIOUSLY didn’t make this since just about every vehicle I feature on here is done by Fresh-Prince. Also I lack any 3D modeling knowledge so I won’t be “making my own”.
And why should I make my own when Fresh-Prince does such fabulous jobs with his vehicles?
This spiffy 2009 Land Rover for Sims 3 will set your Sims back $60k, is obviously found in the vehicles section and the headlights don’t work…not that I figure that will …read more

I got a second message about my Fangbanger shirt [from a different person] and now it’s abundantly obvious that something wonky IS going on with my creation but it still works just fine for me.
Case in point:

I took that today after deleted the shirt from my game and then downloaded it from the file that I put on Mod the Sims.
Here’s my problem: I highly suspect that the issue is that I’m playing an EA patched game and the people who are having issues haven’t patched their games. Now, this is just an assumption but I can’t figure out any …read more

Does your Sim want nothing more than to master every musical instrument that they can get their hands on?
Do YOU get bored with the way that the default guitars look in-game?
If so, then I have the guitar for you.
Xdarkshadowx has created an awesome new mesh/guitar for your Sims 3 game and you should definitely take advantage of this great piece of work.
The guitar works just like any other guitar in the game and is 100 % recolorable so you can add your own personal touch to the color design.
New mesh means that this is a wholly new object and it …read more

I have for you a 2009 Lexus IS F for your Sims 3 to drive around.
First off, what graphics card is Fresh-Prince using? How freakin’ awesome does this screenshot look?!
This car is going to set your Sims back $58,000 but is completely worth it when you look at house wonderful this car is.
I’ve downloaded this Lexus but haven’t had a chance to play it in-game yet so my next two statements are assumptions.
Since it’s not stated that the headlights don’t work, then I’m going to assume that they work in this car. Also, I assume that the car is recoulorable …read more

Too many of the starter houses that are available for download for Sims 3 are either bare bones and ugly or they’re beautiful but have so much custom content that there’s no way that you would REALLY be able to have such a bad ass house on a “just starting out” budget.
This isn’t one of those houses.
This starter by MotorHalo manages to ride that fine line between so cheap that there’s no way that you would live in it and so much custom content that you’re essentially cheating your way into an inexpensive house.
Modern Starter for Two comes both unfurnished …read more

Love, love, love this top.
The tops that are available in Sims 3 are getting old for me and this brand new top is just what the doctor ordered…so to speak.
Both the shirt and the flowers are recolorable so you can do just about anything that you want with it.
Want red flowers and a black shirt?
Done.
Want some kind of crazy patterned shirt and some patterned flowers?
Well, you can do that too but I bet it will look pretty insane.
This necklace top for Sims 3 is a young adult/adult top so you have two different age groups that you can outfit in …read more
