Getting into TS3; some questions
Hi everyone, :) I'm thinking about getting into playing the sims 3. I do own most of the packs, and played it briefly on my old PC but I never really did much with it but am considering doing so no...

Hi, BabySquare. I have Windows 10 and have no problems with Sims 3. Sometimes, if you have OneDrive active, Windows will put a copy of your Sims 3 documents folder there, which can cause some problems, so it's best to just deactivate OneDrive unless you need it for something else.
Some of the NRaas mods are, in my opinion, pretty much must haves for this game. Error Trap and Overwatch do a lot to keep your game running well, and MasterController gives you tools to fix some problems that might crop up or ways to change some things, plus has some other nice features (like Stylist). There are couple others that would be recommended in the keep-your-game-trouble-free category, but these three are the ones I always have.
Their Story Progression mod is very popular and allows you to control a lot of things that the game's story progression does not. I'm not the one to tell you what all you can do with it because I developed my play style when I had a computer that was a little under powered and thought the mod was going to be "too much," and I just never got around to playing differently. I have the game's story progression turned off, and I switch households. Not necessarily recommending that, but playing that way I do see that some of the sims in households that I switch to have gained a few skills even without any story progression (for me, it's mostly athletic, social networking and musical instrument skills - maybe charisma if the sim already has a point or more in that skill), and they do develop relationships. Thinking that is probably something you can control with NRaas's Story Progression, but someone else will have to help on that front.
I use and like some of their other mods, too, but not sure I'd classify them as must haves, and it might take all day to talk about them. :)
