MTS mods for menu enhancement and machinima
PLEASE NOTE**I kindly (but insistently) recommend (do it) that you BACK UP your game before dabbling in these mods.
chaos carrier mod by ChaosMageX
This mod allows sim to to carry certain objects, great for staging.
You can put them in your inventory too--which is sweet for whipping out swords and stuff, incognito.
GIVE mod
Allows your sim to give stuff in their inventory to other sims, with or without relationship perks.
Chaos mod painting
ANIMATION aid to machinima makers! I've used this to create some great pics of sims in burning buildings. Adds a whole plethora of actions.
Twallan's treasure
SuperComputer
This mod adds a menu called "Master Controller" to the following items in town:
1) Every Sim
2) Every Computer
3) Every Lot
4) City Hall
Adds tons of customizable options, just be sure to read through the description as it contains tons of data.
You can also look into Twallan's other mods to suit your needs, he has many options for mods that are generally found in core mods so if core mods scare the bejeezus outa you, he is your man.
