Gimme your best CC and mod suggestions for the Sims 3 MAC.

I dont know a whole lot about mac specific stuff on sims 3, but I do know that mac limits how much ram your sims 3 can use, so you might want to keep the number of CC you have low especially if you have alot of EP/SP, otherwise have more stability issues and Error 12.

Thanks for the tip. :)

Oh, those kittens again. :)

The OP doesn't have any EPs, or they have ITF only, as per a prior thread. Therefore, they might have a bit more leeway as to how much CC and which mods their game can carry. Unlike game utilities, which are programs, mods are cross-platform. They work the same way on Macs as they do on Windows.

For some reason, I tend to be partial to mods from a place called NRaas.
StoryProgression - of course
MasterController - offers menus of commands through which you can fix things that have gone wrong on demand, and offers a more flexible verison of CAS
Overwatch, ErrorTrap, Register, GoHere, Traffic - to kill various kinds of bugs and glitches
Relativity - adjusts the way time passes relative to the game clock so your sims can get more (or less) done each day
Traveler - Don't let your sims leave their homeworld without it
Saver - Doesn't auto-save, but instead puts up regularly scheduled reminders, totally adjustable, for you to save yourself and suggests a Save As name that is slightly different from the one before so you have multiple safe points to revert to should that be needed.

I'll let others tell you where to go shopping for CC as we all have different tastes.

Well, for actual game mods (aside from NRAAS obviously) I would suggest modthesims, for CC hairs and clothes I would suggest thesimsresource.
A word of warning on CC, get sims 3 cc clean installer or whatever its called, and check sims3packs before you install them it will save you much trouble. Though to be honest I think most corrupt CC I've had was from the exchange.

@SimKeats @igazor

I've seen people suggest tumblr as a good source of custom content -- have yall had any experience with it?

Tumblr is a free-for-all. There are some very talented developers who host their wares there, and some not so much. I have no issues getting stuff from a creator who uses Tumblr when I am directed there by another site, but tend to not spend a lot of time searching for things there generally.

Yeah, I am 100% with @igazor on this, only ever got stuff from tumblr when directed there.

A lot of the CC I have is from tumblr.

The nraas mods seem to be reliable and handy. Look up "nraas story progression" or "nraas master controller" on the net, you'll find it, and all of his other one's, just about everyone uses them.
My favourite clothing site is All About Style. She is very detailed and keeps right up to date with all the RL fashions, including outfits that RL celebrities have worn on the red carpet, and some period clothing, that is of past era's. When we had the sims 2, her stuff was the tidiest, loveliest and never bugged, unlike SOME sites.
However, I've only ever dl'd a few CC things because I have enough variety to CaS from the game, with a bit of thought. I have a custom default skin eyes that I got off of Mod The Sims. The eyes are better than in game but I don't see all that much difference with the skin. The skin and eyes were heavily advertised, like a featured download, with lots of fancy pictures. If Sussisogood was still around I bet her's would be the best. Alas, she's not :(
