ATS has a huge collection of really well made musical instruments. There are 4 different sections; strings, wind, percussion and world instruments. They are only decorative but some items perform other tasks such as the amps which are seats. They look really good when used with the real instruments.

Great desert world by Magic_Dancer on Thesis3.com! Very nice sculpting, painting and details, straight roads so you can place lots yourself, and empty lots in the center to let your own creativity go!

These really are awesome, its a full set of deco luggage, perfect for stories or pics. Some of the pieces are fairly high poly, but these are just too luscious to resist

YESSSSSSS! If you wanted to build your own rabbit holes, these tiny, simple, nondescript objects (done as rugs) can be used to do it, with easy routing. Yay!

This awesome set is perfect for those dark alleyways between your downtown buildings, where food is hard to come by, and life is rough. After seeing a pet in one of these, you will instantly want to take it home!

There is a new shiny lighthouse in Sunset Valley, but the old, defunct one still stands proudly on the cliffs overlooking the bay. It's been repainted and refurbished, and it's ready to be loved once more - as a home or community lot! The lighthouse is decked out in rustic seaside decor, and is quite scenic walking from room to room. **Please note we used the 'Insulator Bay Window' from the EA Store in the screenshots as it really suits the style. The Lot has the base game bay window which also looks good.

This site has lots of cool designer stuff, but this caught my eye because it's something that I could see myself wearing. I don't have much nice CC for teen girls, so I was pretty excited to find something this cute.

This isn't just any old mobile: it's animated! The smaller Leefishes swim (or rather spin) clockwise and the larger Leefishes swim counter-clockwise. Unless you tell them to swim backwards, that is - they can do that, too. They won't automatically start swimming when you place the mobile, though, because they're polite like that. Also, when you feel they need some rest, just tell them to stop swimming and they will.

Feemwald is a growing German site (on-line since 2007) with quality Sims 2 downloads. It's described as a "Treasure Chest for the Sims 2".
*There are both Theme-based (at present Castle and Cathedral only) and Modern downloads.
*There are Categories for everything from Clothing to Accessories (Note: A few of the Subcategories don't have downloads YET, but there is much to see!).
*There is an awesome collection of library shelves (some being 2 stories high).
*There are 2 picture frame TVs with a collection of picture and frame recolors available (noted in the picture).
*There are a myriad of carpets and period paintings (with some being paired with Doors including another version of the Harry Potter Fat Lady useable door).
*There are a few excellent props for story telling (my favorite being add-ons for Dragon-Slaves horses and a Posebox to place people on them)!

If you haven't seen this site...be sure to check it out!

Note:
The site is available in both German and English. Of course, I found it easy to navigate in German and didn't realize that there was an icon in the upper right corner with the UK flag on it for until after I had thoroughly explored the site!
