I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.

SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.

Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.

Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.

Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

A long time ago, Huge Lunatic extracted the content of three Stuff Packs and put them in neat package files that a Mac can use. Those three packs were: Ikea, Teen Style Stuff, and Kitchen and Bath. Edit: Make that four. She also did Celebrations.

You can download all three from the link at Garden of Shadows.

Installation is easy, but the package files do NOT go in your Downloads folder. They go in the Mac equivalent of your Program Files.

In Applications, right click on The Sims 2 Super Collection and choose Show Package Contents. Click to open Contents->Assets->Expansion Packs->Bon Voyage->TSData->Res->Catalog->Bins

This is where the buy and build packages go.

Almost done! Next, you need to go back a level, to Contents->Assets->Expansion Packs->Bon Voyage->TSData->Res->3D. This is where the bodyshop packages go.

Once installed, it is the same as owning those Stuff Packs. There are no custom content stars in the catalog, and recolors of the objects work just like on a PC.
