ACottonSock's Sims 3 Mods Masterlist
I frequently get asked about what mods I have in my game. Here is a masterlist compiling every single gameplay and "fix" mod I have in my game. This does not include hair/clothes/makeup etc. Just my mods!
Last Updated: 2/17/26 - Swapped out to @xiasimla’s new eyebrows.
Click "keep reading" to see the entire compiled list!
NRAAS Mods
NRAAS Master Controller: This mod adds countless options that allow you to easily control and change just about anything about Sims in your town. Featuring a robust filter system to allow you to find the Sims you want to target and execute actions on.
NRAAS Master Controller Cheats Module: This mod includes the more advanced, and therefore "cheaty" aspects of MasterController. This is an optional module of MasterController, and as such you must have the base-mod installed for this module to work properly.
NRAAS Master Controller Expanded Tattoo: This mod increases the number of tattoo locations available when using the "Basic/Tattoo" interaction in the base-mod. Note you will also need cmar_XCAS_TattooLocations_V2.zip for the expanded tattoo locations to show up.
NRAAS Master Controller Integration: This mod replaces all the CAS interactions in the game with the one managed by Master Controller, including the "Create-A-Sim" button in "Edit Town". This is necessary if you want to overstuff your households and still want the "Add Sim" and "Pollinate" options to work despite having 8+ Sims.
NRAAS Master Controller Progression: This mod adds progression related interactions to the "Master Controller" menu. This is an optional module of Master Controller AND Story Progression thus you must have both base-mods installed for this module to work and to prevent a main menu crash.
NRAAS Careers: This mod is used to load custom careers into the game. It is also possible to load custom book lists, custom skills, and standing social interactions. You are still limited to the the set provided by EA (totally new opportunities would require script coding), but you now have the ability to customize and add variations of those events to your custom careers.
NRAAS Careers Data Unemployed: Let's me give the "unemployed" career to people without the game auto-finding them a job.
NRAAS Consigner: This mod replaces the "Buy" interaction on the Consignment Register with one that allows the sale of potions, gems, rocks, metals, insects, relics, and sketches.. If you have Pets installed, a new interaction called "Sell Pet" will be added to each consignment, general store, and pet store register in town. A new standing social interaction has also been added called "Sell Pet", available between friends, that allows the transfer of pets for profit.
NRAAS DebugEnabler: Basically developer tools for TS3. One of my favorite NRAAS mods!
NRAAS Errortrap: This is a core-mod intended to catch and correct data corruption errors that can render a save-game unloadable. Any corruption errors that can not be corrected will be trapped and logged, allowing the save-game to load regardless. Unhandled script errors may be posted on the forum for review and possible repair.
NRAAS GoHere: This mod replaces the "Go Here" interaction, with one that can be stacked in the queue, allowing the user to better direct the route of a sim. It also makes inactive Sims less likely to go home, restores haunting ghosts in the grave yard, fixes common routing errors and adds a robust set of door locking features.
NRAAS Mover: Makes the moving system generally better. Also allows you to control how much money a Sim takes when they split from a household.
NRAAS Overwatch: The primary purpose of this mod is to act as a periodic clean up system for correcting errors and eliminating junk that accumulates over a regular play-session.
NRAAS Porter: This mod adds a custom version of the import and export system used to create Library families. With this, it is possible to transfer entire towns worth of sims, preserving relationships across households, and reducing the amount of manual intervention required afterward.
NRAAS Portrait Panel: This mod changes the Portrait Panel to display a maximum of 24 sim portraits, useful for playing overstuffed families. Clicking a portrait with the middle mouse button will now bring up the sim menu. Similarly, double clicking on a portrait will do the same (for those of you sans middle mouse buttons).
NRAAS Register: This mod alters the rules governing role assignment in the game, allowing sims to maintain regular careers without losing their roles. In addition, it provides the ability to select which sim you want to perform specific roles in town. I use it to control how many stray animals I have in my town, as well as the disabling of world tourists.
NRAAS Relationship Panel: This mod changes the Relationship Panel. Changes have also been made to correct the "red box" relationship error that occurs when the window bounces while displaying certain types of sims.
NRAAS Retuner: This mod provides the ability to alter which interactions are autonomous and/or user-directed via an in-game interface, both ITUN and SocialData based. It also allows altering the value of most non-table-based tunable fields normally available in _XML tuning.
NRAAS Tempest: This mod provides a more detailed approach to controlling weather on a town-by-town basis, providing the ability to adjust weather profiles on an daily basis during any particular season.
NRAAS Traveler: This mod replaces the travel code, and re-enables the script error logging. If the travel system fails, the logs will make things easier to track down the issue and repair it. It also has the capability to load any World as a Vacation destination.
NRAAS Woohooer: This mod alters the romantic game systems allowing for more relaxed rules when compared to EA's. With added trait scoring, things like jealousy make more sense. It also allows for teen woohoo and pregnancy along with risky woohoo.
NRAAS Woohooer Kama Simtra Module: This is a custom skill to facilitate tracking of woohooing. It also gives the option to woohoo for money. You must have the original mod, NRAAS Woohooer, as this is an add-on.
NRAAS Story Progression: This mod is a non-core story progression replacement. The EA story progression will be disabled by this mod, and a new, hopefully better, system is started in its place.
NRAAS Hybrid: This mods updates interactions and game systems to properly handle having occult hybrids.
ALL mods below are add-ons for NRAAS Story Progression and thus require the base mod, NRAAS Story Progression, to work!

CAS and Default Mods
Clean UI: Adds white UI to the game for a cleaner, more modern look.
Eyeball Size Fix: Sims 3 eyeballs are extremely large and stretched, which makes sense if you zoom in and see how blurry they are. This mod fixes that.
