I discovered the “Brunch at the Old Mill” during a particularly deep Simming binge in Dec 2020 (COVID during Christmas, I was bored and lonely lol). This was around the time that “Cottagecore” was taking off in the mainstream. I ended up downloading the set from the Sims 3 Store and it was so delightful. The tea set and jam making station don’t add much to gameplay but the vibes are immaculate. Listening to Folklore and Evermore on repeat while creating the perfect cottagecore sims and houses was a special silver lining during my COVID cloud.
Aghhh I LOVE the brunch at the old mill set!! The canning station especially was very close to making it on this list - and will definitely be mentioned if I do a follow up video in the future! I’m so glad that that set could bring you a little joy during that really rubbish time, for me it was animal crossing new horizons that dragged me through that Christmas period 🥲 thank you for sharing!💖
@@elliensiai have the link. To download them simply put them in your downloads folder and download them thru the sims 3 launcher (that’s how i do it anyway)
Can you add them to your game if your game is legit? I got the entire collection on steam when they were on sale for like $70 total a few years back, but I hate the thought of giving more money to EA
There are so much great store content. I have everything from the store, but forget about a lot of it. I never use the venues. This inspired me to go back and use some of these and start a new save. Also, the home lot that you are using is that one from Riverview or did You build that one yourself. I like your setup on the outside.
I can be the same to be honest! I went through a mad phase last year where I downloaded loads of discounted sets using the daily deals spreadsheet - but even then I can forget to visit the lots I have 😅 so the very little house was one I built myself in Appaloosa Plains, the big grey one is a pre-made one in Riverview, and the one in the footage showing off the toddler items is a modified pre-made one in Monte Vista, hope that helps!🥰
Will buying items from the Sims store make me connect with Origin or EA? I assume yes. I only use physical copies to work around using these platforms.
Absolutely! I believe those are the daily deals sale items - some players made a crazy spreadsheet that will tell you exactly when store items will be featured in that sale section!!😍
Great question! My top 3 expansions for the sims 3 probably have to be: seasons (weather makes the worlds feel so much more alive!), ambitions (I love the skills, active careers, and world of Twinbrook), and world adventures (which adds a couple of new skills, a bunch of new collectibles, and of course the travel worlds which are super fun!) - hope that helps!! :)
Hi, I have a question. I was wondering is it possible to purchase and install content from the Sims 3 Store if you purchased the actual game from Steam?
Hello!💖 I believe you should be able to buy store content if you purchased sims 3 via Steam… I’ve checked a few wiki pages and it says that players may have trouble with installing the content depending on the browser they use, though it looks like using Chrome is where players have the best luck! Try checking out this wiki page for more info: ‘game guide: getting store content to work with the Steam version of The Sims 3’ ! Hope this helps 🥰
One can acquire sim points by either buying them through the EA app (search for ‘sims 3 currency’!) or you may be able to get some for free on the sims 3 store depending on what packs you have!! Check my channel for a video guide ☺️ unfortunately I’m not sure how you can get them if you’re playing through steam though 🥲
@@YasminsCorner I'm not sure if it's still possible, but those who buy the Steam edition can redeem the codes on their origin account! Because if you go to manage game tab via Steam, if will showcase your CDkeys, which you can then use on EA via the redeem tab in account settings. This should give the players on steam their points! Plus access to 1.69 version if they ever want to use that version!
Also there is a lot of free items in the store that are extras for some packs and for holidays like Halloween stuff.
Ohh yes!! I always forget about them! I definitely need to go through the store one day and get them all in my game 🥰
Yes this stuff is great if you love playing with Seasons!

gurl there is a site where you can download everything from the sims 3 store for free. every town, set, objects etc. dont pay for that :-D
do you have the website link or name by chance ? :)
@@elliensia just look at youtube free store content. there are videos who link the sites x
pls respond
@@shitpostingonceinawhile9033 blams

leaving a like for reminding me of Riverview, I knew something was missing
Aw thanks! Riverview is such a stunning world: getting the clips for this video really got me hankering to play in it again soon ☺️
The fact that a forgotten Sims 3 world like Riverview still has more lore and personality than most Sims 4 neighborhoods pretty much says it all IMHO
I forgot about how much content there was on the sims 3 store!!
Right?!? There is still so much stuff that I’ve not got yet!😅
You can some items from the sims 3 store for free if you search hard enough 😅😅
Haha I believe so yes! As I don’t know how legit (/ safe / legal?😅) some of those external ways are I didn’t really want to promote it🙈

@@RetroFishkeeperyou can. I've installed hundreds of store items this way :)
Omg, Riverview is free??!! Thank you so much for this info ❤
RIGHT!?! Definitely get it in your game if you can, it’s such a fab world!😍
Great video! I luv the sims 3 and was always interested in store items but never got any
Thank you so much!! I was in your exact position until about a year ago when I finally caved and bought some sim points 🙈😂

When yoi open the sims 3 launcher it promotes an item thats on sale
Absolutely! I believe those are the daily deals sale items - some players made a crazy spreadsheet that will tell you exactly when store items will be featured in that sale section!!😍
I only have 1 expansions pack for my sims 3 which is the late night, but what expansion would you recommend?
Great question! My top 3 expansions for the sims 3 probably have to be: seasons (weather makes the worlds feel so much more alive!), ambitions (I love the skills, active careers, and world of Twinbrook), and world adventures (which adds a couple of new skills, a bunch of new collectibles, and of course the travel worlds which are super fun!) - hope that helps!! :)
My favs are late night, ambitions, generations, seasons , World adventures (uni and supernarural are cool too but you dont need them)
not the zombie coming out of the dirt xddddd
Pahaha I know!! I was cracking up as I was filming that clip - gotta love the sims 3’s janky charm 😂
