Playing the Sims 3 with all the DLC in 2022?
Sul sul, I've been getting into the Sims for the past few months now, and I've tried out the Sims 2 and the Sims 4. Sims 2 was probably better overall, but the Sims 4 had a few extra features which we...

Over 5 years ago, I had the game installed on Origin and took advantage of the supplied codes from Steam to buy some expansions and stuff packs that were greatly reduced. I don't remember which ones though. I did have to buy a copy of the game from Steam in order to buy the others to take advantage of the sale. I don't know if that still works now.
The mods from NRAAS are absolutely essential in improving the performance of your game. Specifically, ErrorTrap and Overwatch take care of bugs and stuck sims and animals, as well as clean up the game of excess vehicles, turning off stereos, etc. Master Controller allows you to customize your game in many different ways, which can also improve the graphics. And Story Progression replaces the glitchy EA story progression. I've played my game for years with just these four and have slowly added almost all of the others over time. They have helped me in so many ways when I wanted to find out about a specific Sim. I can look to see if they are pregnant and who the father is. I can view their family tree to see how they are related (a must-have for playing Legacy generational games). I could go on, but I will spare you the details.
I just discovered the youtube creator "acottonsock". I just watched her video called ULTIMATE SIMS 3 FIX GUIDE ? (2022). She is very good at explaining things to the point that I think anyone with limited knowledge of computers could actually follow her instructions (with some pausing and backtracking if needed.
She has an entire series on the NRAAS mods. There are eight in all if you search for "acottonsock nraas". I haven't watched them yet, but I intend to in the near future.
Regarding KP Sweet Treats, I would love to have a definitive answer to this as I want to get it as well. After a lot of research, I was under the impression that this DLC is no longer available and they are selling on ebay for hundreds of dollars. I will never buy a game, expansion, or stuff pack on ebay, because there is never a guarantee that a key code has never been used. People can shrink-wrap packages to make them look like they have never been opened, and EA will never provide a code for a product that wasn't sold on their site.
