I saw this for Sims 2 in this post, and wanted to have it, too.
It’s cloned from a Generations spring rider. While animations are cute for toddlers, they look extremely dangerous for children. If you have Supernatural installed, I recommend using the version below for children. Like all spring riders it has to be placed with “MoveObjects on” indoors. The first preset has an overlay, the second is recolorable.

TSM-Supernatural Rocking Horse
This one works as a rocking horse from Supernatural and requires that EP. It can only be used by children, but animations for them look much more natural. Costs 275§ and is found under Kids/Toys. It’s recolorable.
As the title says, this is an adaptation of the TSM monster to TS3. It’s not quite as impressive as the original, but it can still eat your Sims :)
It functions and animates like a cowplant, but some stretching and distortions were unavoidable. When the monster gets hungry, no piece of cake will appear (and I’ve fixed the bug where it turned itself inside out). But it will open its fangs very wide and wrap the upright tentacle around itself in a very elegant fashion that I’d love to say was intentional… so you’ll notice.
Lowpoly mesh and shadows are not animated - I’m sorry, bone assignment was just too difficult.
The pitmonster requires the cowplant’s script to be installed in your game. Alternatively, I included a cowplantscript, which will make the pitmonster function, but won’t add a cowplant to your game. If this should cause any problems, do let me know! I did test this, but not very thoroughly.
Found in Catalog under Pets / Misc and Entertainment / Misc at 475§
1. A smaller, basegame compatible version of the LateNight scaffolding and a 50% smaller obelisk. Still it’s about three floors high. Should be easier to place on a resizer omsp though, as it has a smallish footprint. Found under Sculptures for 4800§.
The obelisk is basegame compatible, has two textures and can be placed on an omsp. It’s under sculptures for 1800§.
They’re decorative by nature, but can be placed over (technically under) functional stairs. No cheats needed, the stairs will still be routable.
Some ts3 stairs look better with this than others, but all do clip a little bit and must be recoloured to a wood-pattern with Create-a-Style. However, the clipping is useful to select the real stairs with the cursor.
Included are a one-tile and a two-tile version. Left and right for both are already merged. The two-tile package requires the one-tile version for the textures.
The second preset is recolourable with Create-a-Style
Found under Decor/Sculptures at 1195§.
3. Filler-piece to put under stairs. It has always bugged me that the walls under stairs disappear with walls half down. So this piece can either be used inside the walls to act as a stand-in when they’re down or on its own. It’s recolourable, but as the mesh is converted from ts2, the mapping is a bit wobbly with horizontal patterns. Found under Sculptures for 100§.
This was actually part of a far more ambitious project (I wanted to make them function like baby dragons! But I didn’t even get them to show up like that :/) While poking around in the files however, I found that TSM equipped its birds with sitting poses, which could be really useful for storytelling. (Also I remembered @tyrellsimsoficeandfire mentioning something like this and also I’m still thinking about that story about Leanne the falconer/spy.)
Anyway, these are in Misc Decor, but more on the expensive side, so they’re easily found by scrolling up from the bottom of the list.
They’re supposed to be placeable on fences, but to place them like I’ve done here, you’ll need Moveobjects on. If they’re placed on a plain surface, the tails will disappear into the floor.
Included are the Falcon, Mechanical Falcon and Parrot all with open and closed wings. The falcons and parrots have four presets, the mechanical falcons only one, and they’re all not recolourable with Create a Style.
The fourth TSM bird, the skeleton parrot has been converted by Murfeelee. The open-winged falcon has also been converted before but it was easier to reconvert it than to hunt up a working link.
Conversion of the Bandit Tent and Bandit Leader Tent. They come as a decorative and as a functional version.
Decorative: Found under Sculptures at ~1000§ (reflecting that for a Bandit such a tent would be quite an investment :) CaSt-able and also including a second preset without the door-cover. The interior is not very spectacular though. The footprint is a small one, as I found this more convenient for storytelling purposes.
Functional: Found under Comfort/Misc (1000/5000§). The small tent is cloned from the IP tent, but this one actually uses the same script as the WA tent, and I renumbered it to be (formally) basegame compatible, so you may get away with only WA. The large tent uses the expensive tent script from WA and is also cloned from that object. Animations of the large tent are a bit wobbly. Also the large tent is noticeably larger than the footprint of the expensive tent.
I couldn’t let the Christmas/New-Year break pass without at least one little cc project :) So here are the TSM Strategy Tables converted as billiard-tables.
The TSM conversions are cloned from the Showtime table, but should also work if you have any other EP that adds billiard tables. If it turns out they don’t show up properly without Showtime, please let me know!
I also made a recolour of the billiards table that came with University. This one does require University, because it uses textures of the original.
Known issues:
I had to distort the hexagonal tables quite a bit to fit the animations.
The ball-rack and the used balls show up under the table while it’s in use.
Sometimes balls roll outside of the hexagonal table, but this happens surprisingly rarely.
While Sims are setting up the game, the balls inside the rack revert to their classic modern design, before switching back to my recolour.
I don’t know why the dropshadows turned out so blocky, they’re all right in tsrw.
These objects require Zoe22′s Functional Well mod to be installed.
They’re found in the catalogue under Plumbing/Misc.
The Dragon Valley well is now recolourable with Create a Style.
The ts2 well and the recolourable Dragon Valley well also come as a decorative variation, found under Decor/Sculptures.
The Dragon Valley well requires World Adventures, the waterhole Ambitions, and the pump Pets. The Fountain of Youth and the ts2 Wishing Well are basegame compatible.
Update May 19th 2020: I added some water-storage objects (lower picture). They’re included in the ‘Functional’ download. These are all basegame-compatible.
A while ago I got an ask wondering why there were so few historical custom science stations from the University EP. Now know why - these use a lot of special effects!
Nevertheless, I converted the Arcane Tomes from The Sims Medieval as science stations and the operating table as a brain-enhancement machine.
The arcane tomes are recolourable. The ‘rustic’ variation is supposed to use transparency, but stubbornly refused. I’m going to try again next weekend, so might update it then. But as this is really just a decorative detail, I thought I might as well post it as it is now.
The operating tables clip through the wall when not in use, but on the plus side this means they’re animated. The uncomfortable one is cloned from a cheap machine, the one with the mattress from an expensive one. The operating tables are not recolourable.
Including a clock and a single bed which aren’t exactly medieval, but at least look oldfashioned.
Most of these have a CaSt-able and an overlay-preset, but I didn’t include all the ts2 overlays, because actually the darker wood-tones can be achieved quite as well with ts3 patterns.

I've been wanting to do something with the scenic wallpapers from TSM for a while - but wallpaper-creation is not my strong point, and as murals they might have been a bit too much. Instead, I put them on tapestries. The meshes are from Dragon Valley and the Castle/Knight tapestry (originals not required). The maiden with flowers and the unicorn are from TSM carpets.
Update Jan. 17th 2023: Added more images and improved the placement of the first three. A fully CaSt-able preset is now included.

Both tapestry-meshes fully recolourable without any overlays can be found here.
I'd have liked to include the TSM tapestry with Knight and Dragon, but the format couldn't be adapted. It's a wall-hanging in TSM as well and can be found in Votenga's set here.
Today I’m happy to release Praaven Reworked, a new version of Praaven by jje1000/potato-ballad-sims, edited by Simsmidgen and me. As usual this project took longer than expected. But with the help of our many fantastic testers all is well that ends well.
Simsmidgen and I tweaked some things more to our liking, replaced broken CC, reduced the overall amount of required CC, recoloured EA objects and/or replaced them, fixed major routing issues, reduced world file size, replaced/fixed all those bloody arches and stacked staircases, thinned spawners, improved terrain painting (at least we think so). We added the two festival lots by lowrisim and tweaked them a bit and also made sure that the tomb can be solved (yes, there is a tomb, go looking for it!). We tried to leave the world as original as possible though (apart from the things that didn’t work well). Public release is with permission of potato-ballad-sims.
TS3: Facial Expressions Converted From The Sims Medieval
This is a mod that replaces The Sims 3's set of facial idle animations with their (slightly tweaked by myself) The Sims Medieval counterparts, resulting in subtler, more natural facial expressions. 🙂
More info, full previews and download under the cut!
This little package is one I've had in my personal folder for quite a while, but recently I got back to working on it to fix a couple issues and make some small adjustments before putting it out there.
The mod replaces 15 (out of a total of 20) facial expressions for Sims aged teen and up with their equivalents from Medieval. The 5 remaining expressions are left intact because they are identical in both games. These facial expressions are those that Sims make when idle depending on their mood; the expressions they make during interactions, socials, etc. are unaffected by this mod.
Though the facial expressions in TSM are far from perfect, the artists definitely learned a few lessons from TS3. TSM's facial expressions have reduced clipping and noticeably less distortion of the Sim's facial features, which means we can bid goodbye to Sims' eyelashes clipping through their eyebrows, noses scrunched up to oblivion, and humanly impossible facial contortions. Your mileage may vary, of course, depending on each particular Sim's facial slider combo; you will likely see more distorted animations on more distorted faces.
See a full in-game comparison of the vanilla vs. replaced facial expressions + notes here!
Now, on to the slight tweaks mentioned earlier:
By default, all facial expressions have a full blinking animation and a "noblink" pose. The TSM animations had some sort of blinking, but the Sim's eyes didn't actually close for some reason, so I took care of that for every facial expression this mod touches to bring them more in line with the few remaining TS3 ones.
The Sad 1 animation originally looked quite awkward around the lips, with the bottom corners being pulled out while the rest of the mouth was shut; I pulled those corners back up to make the facial expression a little more bearable to look at.
Moreover, from the beginning I thought the Sad expression would fit the angry mood better, so I've also made an alternate version of the mod that swaps around some expressions. In the alternate version, TSM's Sad will replace TS3's Angry 1 (untouched by the main version; not pictured in the previews,) TSM's Sad 1 will replace TS3's Sad, and TS3's Sad 1 will remain the same as vanilla.
Compatibility
Both versions of this mod have slightly different sets of replacements for a_expression_ and a_expressions_ CLIP resources, and will conflict with any other mod that replaces these resources.
This mod is technically compatible with other mods that alter different resources in order to change the frequency of, or entirely disable, the facial expressions, such as Esmeralda's No making stupid faces when idle. Of course, if you used that mod, then you'd never see the facial expressions this one has to offer. 😉
Download: SFS / MTS
Choose either the main version or the alternate version. Place the .package in your usual Packages folder or in your Overrides folder.
