Hi Kimberly! TS3 is my favourite game, although I also love TS2.
And me, I reinstalled a few days ago and then I saw you had recreated pleasantview! I just reinstalled The Sims 3 after months of having it off my computer. Since shopping works differently in The Sims 3, I like using mods to add functionality such as shopping for clothes and selling things in player-owned shops. These are mods that affect the environment in some way. I actually like the Sims 3 hair textures, so I use the in-game hairs and I also own a ton of the store hairs so I have a large, matching selection. Check back soon! These mods affect careers or roles as in Sims who perform a role at cash registers in your world. I will update it as I add mods to my game or remove the ones I no longer use.
Just like my Sims 2 mods listthis will be a constant work in progress. These are all the mods I use in my game, organized by category. Here is my recommended mods list for The Sims 3.
