Halloween is my all-time favorite holiday.
Plenty of candy, fun costumes and the perfect excuse to scare the crap out of little kids. What’s not to love?
Another great thing about Halloween is it gives Sims custom content creators great ideas and what they create is sometimes just plain awesome.
Take this Sims 3 Halloween House, for example.
Victorian styled with just enough “creep factor” to make you walk a bit faster as you pass the house. Sure, there are cheerful sunflowers in front, but those flowers are just there to make you complacent and fodder for the ghouls and zombies that want to …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

If you like color and you like modern design then I’ve found the perfect modern Sims 3 house download for your Sims 3 game.
The “house” is actually collection of three houses and each house is a different primary color: yellow, red and blue. You can purchase the “house” furnished with modern furniture for $121,222 or unfurnished for $99,982.
There are spots for three cars [though the cars aren't included in the download] and the primary colored fence is there to give you some brightly colored privacy from the prying eyes of those boring neutral toned neighbors.
Even if this house isn’t your …read more

Pretty bathrooms are SO last year.
What’s all the rage right now is the “distressed” look and I bring to you four different takes on that perfect look. I’m joking, but in all seriousness, sometimes you don’t want to make the perfect bathroom. You want/need a space to help you tell a story and this bathroom set is perfect for the “struggling artist” story or the “crackhead” story.
The walls and tiles are included in the download and the tub/shower works like the tub/shower combo that comes with The Sims 2.
Download the set and let your imagination run wild. Who knows? Maybe …read more

Are your Sims’ baby things getting a bit tired and boring?
Do you yearn for more true-to-life baby and kid things?
Hopebayler has made some cool [if a little industrial] baby furniture and they all work [they're not just statues].
If the default color isn’t your style then you can find recolors at this link. The recolors offered are pink and blue and everything [including the diaper bag] have been recolored and look pretty cool.
Here are the things that babies and toddlers gain from using the objects:
Animated Jumparoo-They jump and gain fun
Animated Swing-Fun gained in swinging back and forth
Playmat-For infant only, gain is …read more

Sims are notorious for not cooperating when you’re trying to take pictures of them.  Either they won’t stand still and you have to pause the game or they get a funky look on their faces and it takes forever for them to cycle through to an expression that’s what you want.  Sometimes, no matter how long you wait, you’ll never get the shot that you’re after.
Here are a few things that you need in order to get the exact picture that you’re wanting.

Now that I have the majority of my custom content loaded, I figured that I would share a couple of pictures with you.  I think the only base items are the floor and the wall colors.  Since Mod the Sims2 is undergoing maintenance right now, I can’t link to some of the cool stuff.  But, once they get everything maintained, I’ll come back and link to some of the stuff.  Bear in mind that I didn’t make any of this stuff other than taking the pictures.

I’m sure that I’m the only person in the history of playing Sims 2 who gets tired of driving to a community lot to buy clothing.  Right?  Well, obviously not since this isn’t the first hack that has been created to allow lazy players to stay home and still buy clothing.  It’s kind of like QVC for the Sims 2 but without the annoying D List celebrities.
The concept is incredibly simple and is illustrated perfectly buy the picture above.
Head over to your coat rack [which you downloaded from here] and give the thing a good ole click.  Dialogue boxes will …read more

I like custom nurseries.
I’m not sure if it’s because the stock items that come with the different games are kind of boring or if I just want to add to what’s there.
I guess it really doesn’t matter WHY I like custom nurseries as much as it matters that I DO like them and I’m willing to share with you what I find.
since I’m such a nice sort of gal, I bring to you a stork crib that Maylin made that think is pretty darn funny – and functional too!

Looking for that perfect gift for your favorite Simmer?
Are you looking for awesome Maxis created custom content for cheap?
Look no further than the Sims Cash Card.
The card can be purchased from Walmart and 7-Eleven [anyone else find that odd?] and come in 10 dollar increments which will buy you 1k SimPoints at the Sims 2 Store.
Right now tons of things are 75% off and new holiday items are being added.
You can also redeem the cards to download a new Sims game.
I haven’t seen them around our local Walmarts yet but they are available so keep looking.
