What are the mods you find essential?
Hi everyone. I've just started using mods in Sims 3. I have some nraas mods and they have improved my game in so many ways!! What are the Sims 3 mods you find essential for your game?

I play using the folder method, so I have different mods for different worlds depending on how I have developed each world. Here's a few mods which are in all of my worlds. Nraas Mods (of course) as all of their modifications are top notch and very well made! There are also mods from 'Mod The Sims' which I also use and enjoy. Here are a few:
I like sleeping to look like sleeping so I use:
HystericalParoxysm's - No Sleep Zzzs (no 010101s (for simbots) & Vvvs (for vampires)

I like to listen to music my guitarists play, not see it so I use:
HystericalParoxysm's - No Musical Notes!

(The radio still has vibration animations but no musical notes which is handy in telling which stereo is turned on.)
Carpool is used in my game for Sims who do not have or cannot afford transportation. Otherwise, they use their own transportation to get to work. This mod also disables the school bus (if you choose) which is very handy for me. The closer they live to the school, the more they use their own transportation, the school bus is only for kids who live a long way away.

Apparently at one time The Sims team considered expanding the business career, but later changed their minds. Fortunately, they left the complete code in the game files. I use this mod to expand the careers of Sims I have designated as investment brokers.

I don't really allow the game to 'auto generate' things for my Sims and this is especially true when it comes to the restaurants I have created. I use this mod so my sims can cook in the kitchens of their businesses instead of at home and taking the food with them.

For Financial Independence from the 'Family Funds', I use:
Non-Core Global Online Banking Mod

This is just a small sampling. There are many more mods I use to add various levels of depth and maturity to my game. Or, to expand functionality of items.
