If you could only have...

If you could only have 2 CC mesh sets per room - which sets would you have and why?

These are my Sims2 choices:

Here are 2 rooms that I can think of, off the top of my head.

Kitchen - Buggy Booz - Shakerlicious and Basic. Because it has a lot more class than the Maxis kitchens and works well together, but it also has quirky deco touches that can suit a lot of different types of houses.

Nursery - Huge Lunatic - Caress of Teak Nursery. Because it has a nice style to it, it automagically has lots of recolours due to repository on EA meshes, and can fit lots of different styles because it's a classic shape.
Nursery - Menaceman44/MsBarrows - Using Basegame textures on the Free-Time set with fixed animations. It makes the Free-time set usable! (I'd also have to include the canopy-less Freetime crib with this too)

I also love Honeywell's add-on nursery sets and Michelle's matching toddler beds - so it would be a hard choice to choose between them.

What are your must-have sets for each room?

AND! Do you have any rooms where you're not fussed? e.g. Dining?

Is keeping custom content to a minimum easier in Sims3? Do you have must-have sets?

Oh, hard question. At the moment I'm not really using much CC in my TS3 game (well, sort of not, I still have Store content), apart from some mods.

I have found that with the expansions, and since I play more than I decorate, I can do without furniture sets, mostly I tend to download clothes. Although I guess with the ability to change colours and patterns may also limit my downloading.

But! One thing I do miss in my current non-cc state is wall art. I have a folder of lots of lovely wall art, although the game has quite a bit it never seems to be enough for me

As for Sims2 I loved all of Sandy's sets, so my favourites there would probbably be something of hers. I'll check next time I load that game
