Sims 3 store content you couldn't play without?

Swift (sp?) grow garden center. Specifically the composter. All my sims garden and so all my sims, without fail get this item. That and the tablets so they can listen to tabcasts say for charisma (something I don't mind if they get ahead of sooner than later)

I enjoy a lot of it.
The SwiftGro is Awesome. I love using it to get my Sims rich. :)
I like the toddler stuff more. The swing for the babies, the Playpen, and the Walker are a must for me. :smiley:

The Multitab is a must. I used to avoid it because it feels like cheating (I still avoid the baby-toddler stuff btw), but I am just so used to it nowadays and as such I can't live without it.

Shout out to the tractor, midnight hollow toy machine and its associated toys, violin, archery range, gambling stuff, and massage table as well.

The SwiftGro Gardening Station, hands down! :star:

Second, The Auto-Noms Automatic Pet Feeding Station! ?? Best thing ever for your pets. I always felt bad when my sims would forget to feed their fur babies. :cry:

Next for me would be these four rad items for babies and toddlers: The Dirty No More Baby Changing Station, the Head Start Playpen, Solace Snugababy Deluxe Baby Swing, and the Locomotion Toddler Walker. Seriously all of those make caring for babies SO much easier. :) ??

And lastly, The Infinite Zen Massage Table is nice. :blush: So is the MultiTab 6000 :)


Those would be my picks out of the Store Items I can't play without. ;)

The baking set, and the deep fryer. I use a mod that my sims have to go grocery shopping for ingredients, so when they first move in its, deep fried food XD

I loved the Old Mill Tea set.
It restored energy and increased relationships and gave my sims something to do while I focused on other sims.

Hmm, let's think about it for a moment. There isn't really that much I'd put into that category.

1. The MultiTab 6000. It saves so much time for some skills, it isn't even funny. It allows for multi-tasking, too.
2. The SwiftGro Gardening station. Helps enormously with the weeding and fertilizing. Speeds up growth with at least two pushes per day instead of one. The only negative aspect: it seems to be a bit of a performance hog, but that's a general thing with gardening.
3. The Head Start Playpen. I'm not necessarily using it for skilling, although it even does that, but for "storing" toddlers that learned everything they can from their parents directly. Works much better if you have two toddlers, because then you can forget your family has toddlers.

Honorable mention:
The Rim Rockin’ Basketball Hoop. Sims love it, plus they get their athletics a slightly different way.

I cannot play without the Bohemian Garden set (As half of my Sims tend to have the "Love The Outdoors" Trait, it's only natural I have the Bohemian Garden Set)

I cannot play without Riverview or Hidden Springs.

Actually, I can't live without any of my Store Stuff

I love this thread! I can't play without the Swiftgro Gardening Station if my sims are gardeners. It's a must have.

For decorating during the holidays, I love the Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween sets in the store. They're free!! Makes the holidays so much merrier.

And lastly, that beautiful hanging chair that looks so perfect on a porch or the side of your houseboat. Came with Bohemian set.

I love the SwiftGro Gardening Stations for underground gardens. If the garden is outside, I usually only have one gardening station and supply water to the remaining plants via sprinklers upgraded to auto-water the plants. I don't often fertilize my plants, so it isn't necessary to have all of the outside plants inside gardening stations.
