Recolors
There are no recolors in Sims 3 since we have the Create-a-Style tool, now.
Organize your Content
It is not uncommon to have several thousand downloads, and it is helpful to have some way of organizing your content.
The easiest way of organizing content is with the use of subfolders. Subfolders are new folders you would create inside of your Downloads folder. Certain content can be put in subfolders, and some can't.
- For a full guide on organizing your content, see: Game Help:TS3 Organizing Custom Content.
Know what hacks you have!
Even if you throw all the rest of your content in your \Mods\Packages\ folder and don't care about subfolders, you need keep track of your hacks!
You can do this by keeping a folder called Hacks within \Mods\Packages\. In it, put any hacks or hacked objects you have.
When you get a new expansion, you can generally just take out your Hacks folder, and play the expansion with the rest of your content with very little problems while you wait to see if the hacks will work with your new expansion. It's also very easy to take out your Hacks folder if you have a problem in your game.
Know what default replacements you have!
You will also want to keep another folder for Default Replacements. In it, you will put any default replacement skintones, eyes, pet eyes, etc., you may get. Like hacks, you don't want your default replacements getting lost in your downloads.
If you download two default replacements for the same thing, it can cause extremely weird, ugly, and undesirable display issues. Having your default replacements separate can be helpful if you run into such issues. It also allows you to easily remove old defaults if you would like to use new defaults.
If you think you're missing something important...
