Are you looking for some of the best Sims 3 mods of all time? Well, today we are creating a list of the Top 25 Sims 3 mods of all time.
Many people still love Sims 3 more than the Sims 4 new update because Sims 3 offers something unique that no other Sims version can provide to players, not to mention all the amazing mods out there.
To make the play experience feel much better on this older version of the Sims, you can use these Sims 3 mods.
Let’s begin the countdown for the best Sims 3 mods that you can add to your game to spice it up.
25. Ultra-Plain Eyes
These are default replacement eyes and tricolor contacts(face mask) that have a plain texture like EA eyes.
They don’t have dramatic contrast. Instead, neat in-game and Maxis/EA-Match. It suits every sim, I think.
Same size as EA. Smaller pupils. Defined outline. Similar color tone and fine texture.
Description of this sims 3 mods:
General
– Requires No EP.
– Tested in the game version 4.2.32x
– The default eyes are the same as this I up-loaded already.
About Contacts

24. Ultra-Plain Faces
These are default and non-default face skins. For both genders, all ages (toddler to elderly). These faces are MAXIS/EA-Match type, like my “Ultra-Plain Eyes”.
And I uploaded a package of “Face Overlay Fix” together.
This fix removes the female’s unnatural lipstick and cleans her eyes. This function is the same as missy harries’ and Shady-‘s. My version uses EA’s white eye. All previews use Face Overlay FIX.
Comparison:
Same color tone range as EA. More realistic details around eyes. Moderately sharp nose. Pretty nostrils. “Pudding”-free shading.
Description of this sims 3 mods:

– For both genders, all ages (Toddler to Elder)
– Requires No EP.

Non-Default
– Requires UI Mod by Rez Delnava
– EA default 6 colors (separate 2 packages, as “Natural Tone” and “Fantasy Tone”.)

23. Zerbu’s Ultimate Career Mod
The end of career rabbitholes is here! With Ultimate Careers, instead of going into a rabbit hole to work, Sims will spend the work day at a community lot, doing work-related interactions – or slacking off.
The mod scans the Sim’s interaction queue, and increases performance depending on which interactions are being used.
You can assign a career to a lot by clicking on that lot, selecting “Zerbu” then “Ultimate Careers” then “Add Career or School“, select the career or school you want, and select an existing rabbithole that contains that career or school.
All Sims in the selected career/school who would normally be sent to that rabbit hole to work will now be sent to the lot you assign it to.
From there, performance will increase or decrease depending on which objects your Sims are using.
Inactive Sims will be automatically pushed to use certain objects. The speed that performance increases also depends largely on metrics defined in the “Performance” area, such as mood and skills. All metrics are automatically supported, including career-specific ones.
The sims 3 mods supports custom careers, and there is an option to choose which of the existing careers to base it on (which determines which objects increases performance, and which objects inactive Sims will be pushed to use).
A text file containing a list of supported objects for each career is included in the downloaded file.

22. More Traits For All Ages
Upon adding this mod, any Townies or NPC’s will be automatically assigned the maximum number of traits allowable for their age
any New Sim that are generated by the game will be automatically assigned the maximum number of traits allowable for their
If your sim gets an additional trait via social networking, you should decline it. If you’re using this mod you already have the traits you want, by game default it will assume your sim has 5 traits and you’re adding a 6th one. So if you accept the social trait you will lose any above 6 and will need to re add them.
If you’re using a mod to unhide traits, all traits will count toward the max total.
Sometimes active sims have issues aging up and need to be reset. You may need to remove additional traits, age them up, then add the traits back in.
This mod does not affect pets, I’ve looked for the equivalent tuning for pets, but have yet to find it.
Simply removing this sims 3 mods will not return the trait limit to default, they will still retain the number of traits you gave them unless you remove them. See Below

21. No Intro Mod
This is an awesome Sims 3 mod!! Just some minor issue that makes in-game text kind of blurry. Maybe it’s conflict with other Sims 3 mods.
No, extracting there will likely overwrite an existing Resource.cfg which is needed by the game, potentially breaking your game install if you didn’t back the file up first.

20. Traveler Mod
This sims 3 mods replaces the InWorldState, LiveModeState, and PlayFlowState control objects, and will conflict with any other mod that does the same.
By default EA’s adventure board always defaults to the Egyptian model, and cannot be changed. Worlds such as older Downtown worlds have a different town-file name and must be manually processed via tuning.
It is completely unnecessary to install this file, unless you intend to change the contents.

18. Woohoo
This mod alters the romantic game systems allowing for more relaxed rules when compared to EA’s. With added trait scoring, things like jealousy make more sense. It also allows for teen woohoo and pregnancy along with risky woohoo.
- Allows you to order the services of a professional. The professional is chosen at random making it cheaper than the interaction above.
- Only available at night

16. Sims 3 Loading Screen Replacement
I would like to introduce to U some new funny creation – The Nostalgic Loading Screen for The Sims 3. This sims 3 mod doesn’t need to be updated (atm). It’s no risk to use it with the latest patch.
The Sims 3 is almost over, and we all will be missing such an amazing game. This loading screen takes you to the very beginning of The Sims 3 Base Game and leads toward the Into The Future Expansion Pack, entertaining you with famous jokes.
File Type: Package
Setup: Put into Mods/Packages folder
Languages: See the list bellow.
Conflicts: This mod changes the XML LoadingText & LoadingScreen resources so any mod that edit these will have conflicts with this mod.

14. Northeney
Just want to relax and let your mind wander? To enjoy freshly caught fish at the restaurant “Friday’s”, which is known across the island’s borders? To rediscover your own creativity? Welcome to Northern, here you can do all this!
For a long time Northeney had stood in the shadow of larger neighbor’s islands. But especially in the last few years this has proved to be a great advantage. While the others have turned into tourist ghettos, Northeney can offer (almost) untouched nature. Enjoy endless walks in the dunes, experience fantastic sunsets (weather permitting), have a barbecue at the beach.
However, please don’t forget to bring a rain jacket and warm socks – here on the island in the Northern hemisphere the weather can change quickly!
Please note also that large parts of the dunes are subject to nature conservancy protection. Please keep on designated trails. Camping is only allowed at official camp sites. Please take your litter with you and keep your dog on a leash at all times.

13. Cronor
The beautiful forest, mountain meadows, and crystal clear lakes invite you to hours of walking. Majestic trees and a rich variety of beautiful and rare flowers make the area most attractive for nature lovers and families alike… Agreed, this is not something you would write in an advertisement about Cronor. But if you enjoy greenery you might like the local water.
Why would someone visit such a dreary place voluntarily anyway? Well, it’s the very kingdom of science with several breakthroughs in various fields of research. Some other breakthroughs, too, but we don’t want to talk about them right now. But scientific progress with it’s advantages is not the only thing you will find in Cronor.
Except for the obvious lack of nature Cronor has everything you could possibly need. Or don’t need it right now. It seems Interstellar Police don’t have such a keen eye on this place. Or maybe it’s that your travel pass has expired and you just can’t get the local authorities to renew it. So whatever reason you have to be here, welcome to Cronor!

7. Retuned Attraction Mod
If you’re like me, you might think the attraction system EA included with the 1.42 update is poorly implemented, but at the same time, worth fine-tuning rather than shutting off altogether.
So I’ve gone and made this XML tuning Sims 3 mods, which revises a bunch of the parameters that control the attraction system, changing it to something I think is a little more selective, or at least, makes more sense than a Can’t-Stand-Art-er going weak in the knees at the sight of someone’s painting skills.

This is a huge career pack, based on Barbie’s careers through the years! With more than 200 careers on her resume, (You get over 80 careers!) Barbie continues to take on aspirational and culturally relevant roles.
She recognizes careers in which women are traditionally underrepresented to show girls that they can be anything and to encourage discovery and exploration through play. Now you can play through her career!

You can use MC Command Center to promote your Sim (From a computer in-game, click Cheats>Career>Promote), OR if you have UI Cheats Extension you can right-click on a job icon in the career panel to promote or demote your Sim, OR the cheat below if you don’t want to complete the objectives.

This Sims 3 mods updates Children and Teens every night to simulate the physical process of growing up.

Of course, you can activate and deactivate the mod for each Sim. Or have the Sims 3 mods auto update everyone.
You also have to activate it manually for each world/savegame you are playing. So having one game with growing Sims and another with standard Sims is no problem.
How fast they grow depends on the lifespan you have set for Child and Teen in your game.
