Sims 3 store content you couldn't play without?

It restored energy and increased relationships and gave my sims something to do while I focused on other sims.

@CK213 Ohhhhhh you're not in TS4? Or maybe both? I have this and I keep meaning to add it to my town. I have an idea for it using the bathroom doors so to prevent the gifting of flower fests that I see among my already married to someone else sims. :)

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.

Things I can't live without:

Definitely the MultiTab 6000.

The Sweetly Swept Back hair for guys. The Curly Tuft Hair and The Toddler Hawk for toddler boys. The Cinna-Sweet Hair Rolls for toddler girls.

Dr. Prosper's Glowing Orb wall light. I use this all the time for the porch light.

The Excessinator Stove (learning cooking faster).

Techniphobic's Terror Television (Gothic Glamour Living Room).

Straightforward Short Bookcase End as it is stylish and only takes up one square. Because of its low profile, I can hang paintings above it. I have one for cookbooks, recipes, etc in the kitchen, one for skill books in the living room, one for books my Sims have authored in the living room, one for the toddler books and the pregnancy books in the nursery, and one for all the other books in the living room. Sometimes I put the authored books and the other books together in one bookcase.

The 110% Treadmill. I like the design of it and blue is my favorite color.

King of the Park Chess Table is the one I almost always use.

Technically not store items as they come with Supernatural, but I always buy the Gem-U-Cut machine, and Mrs. Stingley's Beekeeping Box.

If I am farming, the Milkin It Dairy Corral and the Fowl and Feathers Chicken Coop.

As weird as it may sound, I have played without store content and I end up liking to use less and less.

Right now, there are a few clothing items that I really like. I also reinstalled Lucky Palms, the Casino, the violin and the chicken coop and the cow stable.

C'mon...no-one mentioned Lord Vladimir's Conjuring Pot. If your computer balks at playing with Pets...(like mine does)...I only have my Pets EP active for Spherefish's hunting mod and max out the number of deer and raccoons in Register, you need something to conjure up those priceless gemstones that are your way to riches. Every so often before you pass out (if you conjure too long) you conjure up a Tiberium. Soulpeaces and Pink Diamonds are the true riches though.

Just a warning though, don't conjure TOO much. Or you'll end up like Haruo here.

Rustic Loaf Box:

I know this probably seems like an odd 'must have' object because it doesn't do anything or help my simmies advance on any way. It's just a simple little wooden bread box which sits by its lonely on a counter or sometimes on a shelf in my sim's kitchen.

To me the bread box serves as a symbolic reminder to always be grateful. And, I am grateful for all the joy this game has brought me and the things it has taught me.

If my simmies were to open the box and find it empty of bread, that's not a bad thing, it only means 'prosperity' for them is still in the making and not ready yet. If they should open the box and find it full, well there's peace in knowing they won't be hungry.

Solace Snuggabunny Deluxe Baby/Toddler Swing.

Some of the Store hairs and clothes. My go-to clothing sets are Loud Fast Clash attire, Romanza Bridal Party, Street Couture, Homecoming, and Diva & Divo.

I have 5000 points. I am not sure how I got them. They came packaged with some packs and worlds that I bought I think.

I have waited to spend them, until I know better what I am doing. I just bought the MultiTab 6000. It was on sale for 200 points.

I have been looking at Lucky Palms. It is one of 6 worlds that I do not own. What is Katy Perry Sweet Treats? I keep getting told that I do not own it.

I have looked at Stiff As A Board, Light As A Feather Dance Collection. Does anyone have this?
