The Overwatch mod switches off all televisions and radios in the world at 3am as well as deletes any abandoned cars sitting around town. When left unchecked, all this junk can bloat your save file over time until it can’t even load anymore. This mod acts as a periodic cleanup tool that removes junk and buggy objects from your game every night at 3am.

NRaas OverwatchĪnother must-have mod to keep The Sims 3 running smoothly is the Overwatch mod. The Error Trap has fixed so many problems in my Sims 3 worlds, particularly when it comes to Sims getting stuck aging or becoming trapped in an unroutable location. If it catches an error it can’t correct, it “traps” the error and logs it so your save file can still load. This mod is a life saver! It catches and attempts to correct script errors that too often corrupt your save and render it unloadable. This is probably the game’s biggest weakness but the good news is that thanks to talented modders and players who have written good tutorials on how to tweak the game files, The Sims 3 can be the enjoyable experience it was meant to be. It was unstable back in its hey day and is arguably even moreso now with modern hardware that the game no longer recognises. However, even diehard fans of this installment can’t deny that The Sims 3 is rather… unstable. Even though The Sims 3 is not my favourite of the series by a long shot, I still find myself revisiting it fairly often these days for a few of those nostalgic features I did enjoy and miss in The Sims 4, like horses, teen rebellion and milestones, and being able to invest in real estate. Story Progression lets you spy on every single sim.There’s no doubt that The Sims 3 holds some nostalgic charm for a lot of us. Story Progression is a really cool mod to add to your collection that changes your game quickly, and helps make the world feel more real. You can manually set skills, traits, relationships, pregnancies, and relationships to any sim in the town, not just your sims. For example, you can decide to cap the population, you can choose how many sims die, get married, have children, or even how many should be vampires. The mod allows you to control demographics in the game, too. It also adds an adjustable guideline for the behavior of all sims in town. You can push inactive resident Sims in your world in specific directions so that they progress in their skills, careers, relationships, and lives.

The town Sims will realistically go on with their lives, getting married, breaking up, changing jobs, and having babies. This mod takes the base game’s story progression and puts it on steroids. Sims 3 nraas - Story Progression - track every sim in town
