#default replacements

I know this is very subjective and there are tons of options out there, but I thought I would share my favorite default replacements! Big thank you to all of the creators! <3

Sorry in advance, this list is long! Some were already on previous lists but I wanted this one to be comprehensive, so these are literally all of my DRs (except hairs). Some are fixes and others are just enhancements!

Default replacements don't necessarily need to go in the Overrides folder. It's only strictly necessary if you're replacing something that's inside the Packages folder (like store content, CC, etc)

Lighting / Environment

Lighting

Dream Dimension 2.5 with Aurora Skies Water - I find this water type looks good in most worlds, but if there's a water version available for the specific world I'm playing I switch to that one! Such pretty sunsets and sunrises

Clouds

Dishonored to TS3 Clouds Replacement - These are new and are my favorite clouds I've tried in S3! They almost look watercolor-ish which I love

Stars

Twinkling Stars Night Sky Replacement

Snow

Snow but better! For less memory usage, there's a version posted by mat1122 on the NRaas Forum with reduced texture sizes, or a fix for EA snow by the same creator (only use one of these!)

Shaders

Shader Tweaks Eye Shader Tweaks - Removes the weird EA catchlights * These aren't really typical DRs but do replace EA shaders. They need to be installed through the Bin

Sims

Normal Map Replacement

YOU ARE HYPERREAL - Sooo nice and really makes bodies look more detailed (it's more on the realistic side)! Really could not play without at this point

Default Skin

Apple Cider Vinegar v2 - This has been my default skin for such a long time. It's pretty maxis match and not too shiny

Default Eyes

Ephemera MS93 Edit (No Spotlight Version) - I switch these out a lot, but I think these are my longest running eye defaults

Eye Mesh

re:Cerberus Default Replacement Eye Mesh and Sliders - I recently started using this and love it! It makes the irises a bit smaller by default and gives you sliders to adjust them

Teeth

Pearly Whites No Sclera - When I removed this one on accident recently the EA teeth were like a jump scare...

Facial Hair

Default Replacement Beards: Base Game & Expansions

Feet

Sexy Feet - The name is weird but I promise they're better than the blocky EA feet! Cute Feet - More realistic feet for toddlers and children

UI Poses and Expressions

New UI Poses (Retouched Flavor) TSM to TS3: Converted Facial Expressions

EA Fixes

EA Eyeshadow Texture Fix Muscle Slider Fix for Teens and Elders Fixes for missing pregnant morphs

Animations

Walk Cycle Edits - Fixes the weird smiley expression male sims always make when they walk due to an EA oversight Receive Text Edit Nicer Vendors + Ask Animation Edits (requires Mono Patcher)

S-Club Eyelash Fixes

S-Club TS3 Eyelash Hotfix (Balanced) - Reduces the polycount of S-Club lashes S-Club Eyelash Design 2 CASP Fix - Makes it so the lashes don't clip over hairstyles * These two are compatible by the way! Put both in Overrides if you have the S-Club lashes in Packages

Vampires

No Pale Vampire Skin (requires Mono Patcher) TS3 Vampire Neck Mark Default Replacement

In-Game Objects

Dark Cloud Pink UI S4 to S3 Likes Icon Overhaul Pretty Pause Frame Subtle Build Grid Active Level Only Object Placement Outlines Redesign The Sims Sans University Life Visual Fixes CAS Room Replacement TS2 to TS3 The Sims 4 UI Sounds for The Sims 3 Sims 2 Audio & Musical Cues Replacement * The last two will show as a conflict in the Dashboard but I haven't had any issues! I think in some cases one may override the other but nbd!

hi there!

i've compiled a spreadsheet of known Default Replacement options for hair in ts3. so far, i've included 4 creators and their DRs:

@carversims @agnelid @maryjanesims3 @firefoxsims3

the first page compares the DR options from each creator. if two options look similar, they likely differ in their file size/in-game quality! in that instance, it's worth going to the og authors to compare the details.

each page after that is dedicated to the individual creators, if you find you would rather keep it consistent and just stick with one body of work. only Firefox's page currently includes links to the hairs as CC rather than DRs, but i'm hoping to expand each page to have these options too.

TS4: Backyard Stuff - Food Items Override

Sul sul ^^

I hope everyone's doing well ^^

I was creating an override for the kitchen bottles, and some time ago I was asked to replace this drinks tray from "Backyard Stuff". So I decided to create a separate override for this pack :)

🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊

*It overrides: the drinks tray, the juice jar, the three drink glasses, and the powdered drinks can.

*The sim use the wooden spoon to mix the juice. So I created a golden spoon for them to use instead (it's golden to match the tray handle).

NOTE: This golden spoon does not override the wooden spoon. It's a new item that they'll use only to mix the juice. The overrides for the kitchen spoon will be posted soon, just like the spatula overrides :)

*I also added a mod to change the drinks prices to be §15 simoleons. It makes more sense, at leats in my opinion (I wouldn't pay §144 for a jar of powdered juice I made in my own house, would you? 😅).

ABOUT THE JAR: At first I had made another juice jar, in a more rounded/realistic style. But that animation of the ice cubes and lemons inside it, and also the juice the sim pours, are all premade meshes that can't be edited.

I tried removing them, but then it looked empty and boring. So I decided to just remake EA's jar design, so the effects could stay there :)

🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊

These are the can versions, and the items that were replaced:

🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊

Read the installation guide on the Patreon post :)

I hope you’ll enjoy it a lot!!!

If there are any problems, please let me know :)

There are more overrides coming soon :)

Happy Simming ^^

You can use @thesweetsimmer111 Functional Baby Carrier Mod to bring your babies and toddlers with you in a boat!! AND you can swim with them on your back! I LOVE THIS MOD!!! Thank you so much for this amazing mod and all of your amazing creations! They bring so much life to The Sims 3!

This is a replacement for the pubodyleafy using the 4t2 SP12 OnesieCollar. I hate the leafy skirt for toddlers. Meanwhile, I love the fairy-esque vibe this onesie gives. I also changed the collection file information, so now this outfit is properly unhidden and shows up in bodyshop.

Do I have an EA hair (Supernatural) but a cc hair is showing? YES!!!

So I found a very easy way to do this last night. But its really different from guides Ive found out there so I'm still messing around with it. I actually feeling very sus about it... there is no way it was this easy...

Outfit Organiser V2.1

The Accessory Bin numeric entry area has been changed to a combo-box. In addition to entering a numeric value (and pressing Enter to make it stick) you can now add your own named values via the new Resources/XML/config.xml file - see Resources/XML/config_example.xml for details. Additionally, the mouse-over tooltip for the Accessory Bin column will display any associated name for the value in the cell.

Added an Advanced Mode to hide numeric layers, meshes and townify options/buttons if not selected.

So recently I found this lovely yet simple hairstyle by Nightcrawler, converted by @time-p1ays and retextured by Amalia and I thought it would be a perfect replacement for fhairlongsimple. Before I started working, I found another replacement - @plumbtales replaced this hair with Leah Lillith's Kiana and I liked it too... the polycount is rather high there, and @roxanna-moxie uploaded lower poly mesh some time ago. And I prefer different colors for DR. So I decided to make two replacements. Of course you can have only one. Colors: Flash Powder as black, Depth Charge as brown, Volatile as blond, Pyrotechnic as red and Mail Bomb as grey.

CHOOSE ONLY ONE:

Nightcrawler's Lumi, 16k polys, textures by Amalia (I added Depth Charge and Pyrotechnic recolors): DOWNLOAD (SFS)
