I have something a little bit different for you all today! As much as I love the gardening skill in the The Sims 3, I’ve always disliked how round the fruit trees are. In my opinion, the fruit trees (a.k.a. ambrosial trees) from The Sims 2: Seasons look much more realistic, so I converted the mesh and made a default replacement to bring them into the Sims 3! This project would not have been possible without Lyralei’s Default Replacement Tutorial.
There aren’t any growth states between planted and mature, but there are proper textures for Fall, Winter, Wilted, Dead, and the Money Tree. The mesh itself has 1794 Vertices and 1903 Faces.
Place this package file in your Mods -> Overrides folder.

This is the fireplace i showed in my little yule cc sneak peak! it’s actually two objects - the fireplace which functions as a stove, and the logs which function as a firepit! Your sim can use both without issue :) Sims heads will clip slightly while cooking, and the cauldren disappears briefly when opening the oven.
I would reccomment a fire tuning mod such as this one, otherwise the stove might catch on fire?

Once again, I come with separated clutter by @sforzcc, which you can find here. I was not lying when I said I really want all of their cc in TS3. 😅
Do I need help? Probably. Will I? If it means I must stop converting things, nope. 😎

Info: This pond has been converted from The Sims 2 by me :)
Required: World Adventures
Notes: Can be found under Deco/Misc/1800§
This is also one of my top 10 Sims 2 objects. I never really cheated much, but I always had "unlockcareerrewards" ready because I was living for this pond.
I removed the grass from the corners and made the entire pond a bit bigger than the original. There are no fishies in this one, but you can add some using the fog emitter (the normal kois are way too huge tho, but all fishbowl effects work!).
Shoutout & and a huge thank you to the legend @gruesim who not only taught me how to convert via @sims3tutorialhub but also helped me with this object specifically <3
PS: If you like this type of deco, grandelama has a pond from The Sims 1 available here.
One tile buffet set-up with 4 small deco slots. 3 recolorable parts with 2 mask variations, 4 presets. Place over dining table height surface of choice, no need for moveobjects on, can be approached from the front and/or behind. Fits one tile round tables too but deco will be a tight fit. Custom thumbnails. Found in parties and outdoor dining. §100
Two versions. Normal EA version and one that requires Inge’s Pay Buffet mod. Install both or either. As usual, use a slot blocker for surfaces underneath at your discretion.

Your Party, Your Way: More Pay Buffet enabled EA tables with better recolorable parts.

I was actually looking for a fish file (that damned bat starfish in a bowl) when I came across the base game files for butterflies and noticed they are actually kind of simple. Simple enough to do in a few hours, even.
This changes the appearance of:
Moth (it has feely antennae!!)
Monarch Butterfly
Zephyr Metalmark Butterfly
Red Admiral Butterfly
Mission Blue Butterfly
Green Swallowtail Butterfly
Royal Purple Butterfly
Silver-spotted Skipper Butterfly
Zebra Butterfly
Rainbow Butterfly (somewhat less ridiculous-looking!)
It doesn’t alter the butterfly meshes or flight patterns, it just makes them look less grainy and garbage-y.
No DLCs are required, just base game. Plop this in your Overrides folder and make sure you’ve cleaned your caches.
