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

I would live in this house.

I would move into this house in a hot second and never look back.
What’s not to love when you have such an awesome beach house that’s decorated so perfectly?
The house is a two bedroom, 2 3/4 bath with a living room and office area. The yard is landscaped already, you get a pond and the lot is 30×20.
There is also a decent amount of custom content [which is all included in the download] and links to that custom content are listed on the overview page.
The furnished version will set your Sim back $81,577 and the …read more

This gym is SO much better than the ones that are available in Sims 3.
Included in the download is a pool, picnic area, training area, huge bathhouse/bathroom, a basement AND an underground pool.
According to the creator, no custom content was used so you don’t have to worry about strange things happening in your game.
The furnished lot costs 109,423§ and the unfurnished lot costs 89,775§. Considering that this is a 30×30 lot, I think that both of those prices are really reasonable.
This is going to sound completely weird, but my favorite parts are the bathrooms.

This is such a great townhouse.
Three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and no custom content. That means that you don’t have to worry about something going crazy in your game or showing up blue. Ever had that happen to you? Yeah, that’s an interesting thing to encounter in your game and it’s caused by custom content that doesn’t quite work in your game. But, now worries with that with this download.
The furnished price is 126,372 § and the unfurnished price is 79,788 §.
Considering the size of this townhouse, I think that’s a pretty fair price. Head on over 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 haven’t noticed yet, I tend to enjoy the “modern” style of houses that people put out for the Sims games.
They just seem so much cleaner and streamlined than the other styles that are out right now and I guess those are really some of the definitions of modern design.
Anyway, this “Sunrise” house is awesome.
The original design comes from Dan Tyree, a modern house designer, and is a gem.
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. A pool and a great view.
I’m assuming that the house comes unfurnished since links to the custom furniture is given and “furnished/unfurnished” downloads aren’t included – just …read more

21 Rhondal Drive is one of those houses that I would totally buy in real life if I only needed one bedroom and one bathroom.
The layout is simple and makes sense. You have a nice sized entry way that comes off of a cute little front porch, a good sized living room, a small dining area and the kitchen holds the back wall. There’s a hallway that leads from the kitchen connects with the one bathroom and leads to the one bedroom. There’s no garage but there is room to park one vehicle.
The bedroom is plenty big enough to hold …read more

Costa Villa is one of those Sims 3 houses that takes modern house design and makes it pretty.
The house has two bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a gym room and a swimming pool. If you put it on a beach lot then you can also get the awesome views that are shown in the screenshots.
The house is on the expensive side with the furnished house costs 195, 368 § and the unfurnished house will set you back 122, 940 §. However, with a house that looks this good, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and pay up.

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

Even your most redneck Sim needs a good house and why not get them a redneck mansion?
This puppy has ten different totally cool and redneck areas for you to explore and what redneck mansion would be complete without wooden pallets? You need not worry your pretty little head about wooden pallets since they’re included in this download. Ten custom items are included but the satellite dish [a must for any redneck mansion] isn’t included and neither is the patio chair and recliner. However, the links for those downloads are included.
Don’t your Sims deserve a redneck mansion to call their own?
