Error Trap – This mod catches and corrects data corruption errors.

I find that this mod reduces lag – especially in saves with several generations of Sims.

Overwatch – Periodically cleans up errors and eliminates junk that accumulates while you play.

Also removes the “greater than 8” and “requires adult” restrictions.

Mover – I use this mod to retains the dreams and opportunities of Sims when I switch active households.

I also recommend the optional modules including Cheats, Integration, and Progression. Also allows you to select any Sim in the world.

Master Controller – Adds options that allow you to control and change just about anything in your Sims 3 world.

I also recommend downloading the optional modules for this mod especially Career, Extra, Money, Others, Population, Relationship, and Skill.

Story Progression – Replaces EA’s Story Progression with a MUCH better system.
