I just got back into the Sims 3 after years of not playing. My old portable hard drive isn't working, and of course that's where I had all of my CC saved! I had hundreds, if not in the thousands, of things downloaded on there. All the hours I spent searching years ago down the drain!

I spent hours last night scouring the net for CC, only to end up with tons of problems that took awhile to resolve. Some places have mislabeled their old CC, or redirects, broken links, etc; and I ended up having some TS4 and TS2 files in there. That kind of broke my game, but after using Delphy's Sims 3 Dashboard, I got it all sorted out.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their cc collection, if you have it all merged with s3pe. I'm mainly looking for hairs, clothes, and furnishings, but I'll take anything. Or if anyone knows of a site that has any? :-)

My collection is looking pretty grim right now!

eeeeeeeeeee, I can recommend where I get and have gotten most of my cc from. The tumblr Sssvitlans has a pretty extensive archive of cc from around the web, mostly tumblr though. I definitely suggest looking through the s3 tags it if you have time to spare.

I can recommend some creators that are consistently good quality and have many items.

Also this tag: http://sssvitlans.tumblr.com/tagged/s3CCfolder is useful for CC reuploads from creators who've left the community.

What I've done to find some of the really old cc is to go over to Ruby Red's Website http://rubyred-sims3.blogspot.tw/se...idential%20Lots and just download one or two of her lots. ( I'm fairly new to the Sims 3 and alot of that really old, cool stuff was very hard for me to find). Her lots are full of the best, and oldest cc. Also Frau Engel has some of the most beautiful lots full of all that lovely old cc. http://frauengel.blogspot.com/
Another great place to find some of the really old stuff is Sims Models - http://www.thesimsmodels.com/
This is mostly for old cc, if that is what you are looking for. All of Repulsive Desire (RD) is here - https://www.mediafire.com/?l8d1iybtgu425
