Favorite Mods?

My favourites are UI Cheats (i use it mostly to get rid of the sad moodlet after a holiday), Whimsoverhaul (more meaningful whims), The Personality Mod (it adds new reward traits related to sims 2 aspirations and it adds whims related to them) and a mod (i can't remember the name) that demands a degree from a certain level in some jobs. Those are my essentials.

I'm thinking about getting Meaningful Stories again. I have had it and deleted it cause i thought was overpowered, but i've just noticed that i can tune it to my liking...

Meaningful Stories by roBurky - Better emotions.
NPC Control by Paulson - No random townies.
Whim Overhaul by Bienchen - Better whims.
First Impressions by Lumpinou - Adds first impression sentiments.
More traits in CAS by thepancake1 - Allows five traits for sims instead of three.
Walk Normal by Scarlet - Stops all the silly walk styles from different moods.
Lifetime Aspirations by Ky-e - Changes the aspirations into one big lifetime goal instead of the checklist tasks.
Weather app by LittleMsSam - Allows us to check weather in all the worlds via the phone.
Personality Mod by MissyHissy - Adds whims relating to the Sims 2 personality types.

Those are my must haves, I also have a ton of autonomy mods and minor fixes but they are to many to list.

Wow so many out there I didn't even know about Lol!

Pretty much anything released by the late Scumbumbo.

The late? So I'm guessing the mods aren't updated with patches?

He passed away years ago.
While I use many of his mods(and modding tools), the ones that I use heavily in my game is his Paint From Reference Anywhere mod, and removing the filters from paintings so that they look like they were taken with as photo, and can add different filters too: Set Filters On Paintings By Reference.

Edit: His mods aren't in limbo, they are still maintained.

There is a team that works on updating his mods as needed.
