But if you’re like me, you haven’t updated your Sims game in a coon’s age and before you can use the items in your game, the website is going to force you to update your game.

So, if you’re one of those people who never updates their game then these are not items that you’re going to want to install.

Right now, the patch is 21% downloaded and I know for a fact that AwesomeMod isn’t going to work and that makes my heart sad. I got entirely too comfortable playing Sims with AwesomeMod and I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back to Sims life before AwesomeMod. Hold me?

Anyway, head over to SimTimes [link at the very top of this post]. The site is in German but you can use Google Translator to get a really good idea of what they’re talking about over there. Some of it is pretty awesome [lips couch] and some of it I can do without [burning time clock] but it is all free so why not just grab them all?

The smooth, clean lines. The symmetry. The way that everything has its place and things are ultra-perfect.

The Eclectica modern house for Sims 3 is a perfect example of this wonderful modern design that I love so much.

With this house you get a pink princess room for a teen girl – even the bathroom is done in pink. You get an impressive master bedroom and a lovely open kitchen that any chef would be proud to call their own. The kitchen, living room and the dining room are all one room so your Sims will be very happy with the open floorplan .

The second floor is beautiful and I particularly like the second floor bathroom – I like green.

If you’re looking for one of the best Sims 3 lots available, then you have to download Eclectica for Sims 3.

You won’t be disappointed.

Really.

The only issue with this lot is the fact that it lacks any bathrooms. SO, if you’re planning on using this for something other than a church…basically if you’re planning on using this as anything other than “town dressing”, then you’re going to want to add a bathroom or two.

Or, maybe you can add a Porta Potty. I think that will probably mess up the lot’s look but when a person’s gotta go…

I’m going to add this little part from the Overview since I don’t totally understand it and don’t want you guys to download the lot and then gripe because it’s not what you thought it would be.

Outside your church is a rather ugly excavation. Fear not! In fact, that’s your Emergency Church Repair Kit™! In case you decide to screw around and end up messing up while having the ‘constrainfloorelevation’ cheat enabled, just use those to fix up any wonky parts.

As always, read the Overview because there is some custom content that you need to download and install so your church looks cool and make sure that your Sims have been saving up their simoleons since this lot is going to put you back $313,467.

There’s just something about the glowing band of light where there should be eyes or at least normal darkness that seems wrong…but I guess wrong in a good way since I’m featuring it here today.

These babies go all the way from Teen to Elder and are not only recolourable but are also repatternable which means you can basically make them look anyway you want them to look.

If you’re noticing that the glasses aren’t showing up all glowy in your game then it’s probably your graphics card. If you’re running a lower end card, the glasses will look mirrored – still cool looking just not as cool.

No custom content to worry about. Just download these glowing wraparound glasses for Sims 3 and go.

Meghan Fox is probably the most recent celebrity to invoke Marilyn – with a tattoo on Fox’s forearm of the dead starlet – but Fox is just one in a long, long string of actresses who feel some sort of special connection.

And, you know, it’s not just “famous” people who connect with Marilyn Monroe. Tons of “regular” people still love Monroe and the fact that Audrey created a Marilyn Monroe for Sims 3 shows the draw that Monroe still has on today’s public.

You’re going to have to really read the Overview with this download. I counted 12 different links to custom content that you need to make Marilyn look as phenomenal in your game as she does in the screenshot. The custom Seven Year Itch dress is included so rejoice for that since it’s a really cool dress.

Maybe some more 50s celebreties will be created for Sims 3 soon and then you can do a complete themed story – how cool would that be?

The bed has a 4 Energy rating and a rating of 3 for Stress Relief – not amazing stats but there are mods out there to bump up those numbers if you’re so inclined. The arch is…well…an arch. Do something amazingly dungeony with it or something.

The Tomb Sled Sleeper – which I like better than the Sleek-Sleaper from an aesthetic perspective is another bed that you can get for free. It carries the same stats as the Sleek-Sleeper.

If you’re more concerned about what’s going in your living room, might I direct you to the Not-A-Street Floor Lamp, Desert’s End end table, and Modern HDTV by Webbsta Industries?

Don’t forget that World Adventures hits stores this week. Tons of cool items are sure to be included.

But, if you have Sims 3 for iPhone, you should cheer-up since EA has released a Vampire Theme Pack exclusively for iPhone and iPod Touch simmers.

Happy?

Since I don’t have either an iPhone or and iPod Touch [I'll happily take one or both for Christmas. Hint. Hint.] I wasn’t able to go to the iPhone Sims Store to check out the new additions but the Sims 3 website has a full list of the stuff that you can expect.

It wouldn’t make me sad at all if EA released similar things for PC based Sims 3 players.

No word yet if blood sucking is included.

Deus Ex is one of those iconic RPGs that has a very loyal fan base and a very hot female bionic character by the name of Anna Navarre.

I can’t even begin to express just how much I think this Sim rocks.

Everything is there from the red left eye to the outfit to the personality [Daredevil, Grumpy, Athletic, Ambitious, Mean Spirited].

Make sure that you add that red eye as an accessory to all of the outfit choices. If you forget to add it to one of the outfits, you’ll end up with a normal eye and then the look won’t be right.

Get Anna Navarre for your Sims 3 game and check out the other Deus Ex offerings by EsmeraldaF.

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 cool but pumpkins are meant to be a nice shade of orange.

No need to go messing around with nature.

They’re $25 a piece and can be found under Decorative. Go download them and place them everywhere.

You can never have too many pumpkins.

If you’re in the second group then might I direct you to these two sets of patterns.

The Jack Skellington pattern set looks great on clothing – especially tank tops for your chicks – but it would also look great in a kids room on key pieces.

The Halloween pattern set is another that would look really good on clothing but why do that when you can Halloween up your entire house like tragedyanne420 did in some of the screens for the download?

Both downloads are exactly what you’ve been looking for to make your house and your Sims Halloween ready. Now, all you have to do is download them and get to playing!
