So I heard that the Sims 3 exchange is the worst place to download from. But I really like the clothes,hair,etc.I don't download lots or Sims, because that is bad and i know that. But how bout the clothes and stuff? Also, I downloaded tons and tons of cc from The Sims Resource. But people say that the site has bad viruses and there is things in the cc that can steal your information. I always do virus scans right after I download. Nothing shows up. I also have a ad-block add on in chrome which is the browser I use to download. I also use delphy's dashboard. Nothing shows up. Also, on The Sims Resource (TSR) I downloa from the most popular and featured artist since I know if millions have downloaded it, then it must be safe. But I just want to know for sure.OH! and can you guys give me some websites that are SUPER safe and don't have viruses or malware in the cc?I know of-AnubisModthesimsLianaSimsArondthesims3Ma$ims3My sims3 blogspring4simsPixicatI am mainly looking for hair, casual wear, evening wear, and shoes.Thank you so much for helping :D

i would never trust sims resource honestly i never used cc for sims 2 but for sims 3 i would certainly not use tsr mod the sims and someone has been posting links about different sites

I've been using TSR since getting Sims 3 in December and haven't had any problems. I also use modthesims and http://simshairs.com/ for hair.I don't trust the Exchange. I downloaded some sims and ended up with some very sketchy content.I also check all sims3pack files with CUSTARD and used Dashboard after installing package files.

The Exchange doesn't have malware or viruses in the CC or on the site. :shock:

I guess the exchange really is sketchy and unsafe. It's funny how we don't trust the company's own content system. hehe.

Is the exchange safe? What about The Sims Resource? What are some good cc sites?

No, use the Sims2pack clean installer... well, I still use it to pick and choose which CC I want to install (that is in Sim2pack format like lots).

So the exchange is a big no no isn't it? Well I guess that answers it. But I would like to hear from people that have experiences with TSR since some people say it is safe, and some people say it is not, I am very confused!

No, the Exchange isn't a big no no, it's a got a big Warning sign on it. :lol:

None of my worlds have any 3rd party CC attached.

Any CC can potentially be messed up. We didn't know the doll was programed wrong until it stuck to everything.

If you're asking about the malware/viruses, I don't know. I only heard of once and it was reportedly from the ads.

CC is CC and should be handled with care. Know how to install, to uninstall, and to check it.
And keep you DCBackup folder clean of all but the ccmerged.package file. That way you don't share any Bad CC when uploading to the Exchange. :D
