    Name: Micah Grace
    Traits: Loner, Shy, Computer Whiz, Easily Impressed, Artistic
    Funds: 1,168,967
    CC/CAP/Spawners: Nada/None/Zero
    Reason for downloading: He is a third generation Sim I had who was lonely so I signed him up for Cmbaker16 Are You Marriage Material? Micah is busy there trying to find his soul mate :hushed:
    Backstory/blurb: Descended from my first Sims 3 sim, Micah is the youngest of six and was doted on by his mum. He didn't spend a lot of time with other children including his own more boisterous siblings. He spent most of his time on computers instead… until he met Sofia Stanley online and fell in love <3 Sadly for Micah it didn't work out as he wasn't "sociable" enough for the more outgoing Sofia :pensive: Which probably explains why he is now a lonely computer hacker with millions of simoleons but a hole in his heart :cry: Is there hope for Micah yet? Will he find someone to share is life with? Or will he carry on being a complete and utter nerd stereotype? :*

    Name: The Lamonts - A 1950's Couple
    Traits:Hazel: Good, Family Orientated, Hopeless Romantic, Excitable, Friendly Christopher: Schmoozer, Snob, Ambitious, Frugal, Heavy Sleeper
    Funds: 20,000
    CC/CAP/Spawners: Nada/None/Zero
    Reason for downloading: Created for Teegers and NagyGina for her most awesome Gift Of Creation Game Go there, make things, win things!
    Backstory/blurb:Hazel was a cheerleader in college who enjoyed socializing, having fun and being full of pep. That's why everyone was surprised when she fell for the hard working, money minded Christopher who despite being quite the charmer had always been focused on getting ahead and less on girls and parties. But this was the fifties and no matter how hard you worked if you didn't have a company wife to be the hostess with mostess you were going nowhere :confounded: So Christopher went looking for the perfect housewife and ended up falling in love with Hazel and proposed :heart: Now they graduated they're looking for that perfect home to start their new married life together and hopefully a family. Hazel loves being a housewife and enjoys spending her time gossiping to her neighbours and getting involved in the local community. But that gossiping might be affecting ambitious Christopher's career as he is not moving up that corporate ladder as fast as he hoped :open_mouth: Is it Hazel or is he just not as good at business as he thought he was? :fearful:

    Name: George Prattle-Grace
    Traits: Couch Potato, Loner, Insane, Bookworm, Daredevil
    Funds: 421,392
    CC/CAP/Spawners:Nada/None/Zero
    Reason for downloading: A fourth generation sim who was bit different and adventurous so I wrote up this elaborate backstory for Teegers Create A Sim Story Challenge
    Backstory/blurb: Born and raised in a happy, respectable and wealthy home in Bridgeport with his big sister Angela by stay at home mum Seraphina and her wife professional "businesses woman" (career criminal ;) ) Melanie. Melanie's job was always kept hidden from her family but George picked up from an early age the sense of being above the law, he has never really thought rules applied to him and the families wealth encouraged this.

    He has begun to find his home town of Bridgeport getting a little dull :/ You would think his bear fight would be exciting or his cool pent house would be enough to make him stay but sadly no :pensive: He wants to take his new vampire powers and see the world! He is a freelance journalist he loves trying new jobs and experiences so he can write up articles for magazines. His hobbies include his book club, exploring the mausoleum and finding trouble. He has only had one not very serious romance which was with his nephews ex-wife that started the day the divorce became official. It was hushed up by the family to avoid scandal but rumours have swirled as to whether the affair started earlier :open_mouth: Point being with his insane trait and low boredom threshold he will liven up any town!

    He looks a bit grumpy in these photos maybe because he's a vampire in the midday sun? I have no idea :*

    I love the new thread. George is fun, I've used him in a couple towns and in my college "world." Thank you so much for creating him! :)

    The Lamonts are great also, I've placed them in Hidden Springs and added them to my college world as well. Thank you so much for your creations, Alpha! :)

    Name: Rani and Amala
    Traits:Rani (in red): Slob, Mooch, Party Animal, Ambitious, Flirty
    Amala (in blue): Perfectionist, Bookworm, Neat, Hopeless Romantic, Coward
    Funds: 19, 144
    CC/CAP/Spawners:Nada/None/Zero
    Reason for downloading: Made for ObviouSecret as part of Jammin July Gift Exchange
    Backstory/blurb: This is it! Rani is finally moving out! No more curfew, no more pretending that she was going to “study” at a friends house. Rani's motto had always been work hard and play hard, her parents had been very happy about the former less so about the latter…. Sure she had got into some trouble but who doesn't when they're young? Oh right… Amala Avninder goody two shoes extaordinaire :unamused: The only reason Rani can afford to move out is because her parents paid up on the condition that Amala, daughter of Rani's mother's best friend, became her roomate. Rule breaker Rani wants to be rich, successful and most importantly party! Rule obeying Amala an aspiring author wants an ordered, quiet life of reading, writing and no loud music. Will Rani's parents plan to have Amala be a good influence on their daughter work? Could Rani unleash a hidden inner wild child in Amala? Or most likely, will they just tear each other apart? :kiss:

    Backstory/blurb: When studying how to perfect her artworks in college, Kimiko met high achieving Kenshin and she fell in love! Sure he had a bit of temper but she knew that the right woman ie her ;) could, with hard work and dedication, completely remove all his flaws, make him perfectly happy and build the perfect designer picket fence life with him! Years of marriage later Kimiko is a smug housewife and queen bee of the neighbourhood. She and high flyer Kenshin are officially the most perfect couple with the most perfect daughter Akira. That is until the night Kimiko's unreliable, free spirited “It's not a party until someone's set fire to the curtains” mother Hanako turns up at the front door with all her luggage beside her….

    Backstory/blurb: Yes, Boran has just been fired and yes it was a freak birthday cake accident that burnt his house to the ground but what's a life time of crippling bad luck when you have buckets of misplaced optimism? Boran is ready to start again somewhere new, preferably near the water in case of spontaneous cake combustion, where he just knows he'll find the Sim of his dreams, a beautiful fireproofed home and at last all his luck will change for the better!

Luckily she has found a distraction in her new “lifestyle coach” Pablo who is handsome, athletic and did she mention handsome? But does Pablo feel the same way? After all he has dreams of his own. Dreams of being a musician with fame, fortune and did he mention fame? :kiss:

    So THIS is where you've disappeared to. Found ya >:)
  • ObviouSecretObviouSecret Posts: 233 Member
    Oh my goodness! Thank you sooo much! Where to start?!

    Darzi Household: These are two of the most beautiful sims. I especially love Amala's formal wear! It's gorgeous.

    The Yoshidas' Household: I love the idea that grandma is the crazy fun one! And again, you did wonderful on the outfits! They look great and fit the sim's personalities perfectly!

    Boran Chey: Aww! I love his optimism! Though, I feel like I need to have a casino just for him! >:) lol

    The Fuentez Household: Oh my! *Grabs popcorn* This should be good! I can't wait to see how it plays out!

    Alexeyev Household: I love your backstory for this one the most! "Will Tatiana ever convince him to wear shoes?" lol

    You make such beautiful sims and the outfits you chose(and CaS) are perfect! This will definitaly help liven up my game! I can't wait! <3

    A Starter Cottage: How sweet! I love the ivy around the door! It's such a nice detail! And the colors are beautiful!

    A Starter Hacienda: I love that you framed the doors again! (And sunflowers are some of my favorite flowers in real life!) I also adore the fact that you used a picnic table for the dining table; I'v never thought of that before but it fits so well!

    I Iove it all! Although, I think I definitely have a favorite in darling Boran Chey! I'll be adding these gems to my game just as soon as I get the rest of my gifts finished! (And maybe even stealing Mr. McHandy) <3

    *Dances a jig while playing the banjo* :p

    Hi Alpha! Great job on all of your creations and such a cool idea to have them all displayed in one thread! :)

    Sorry to crash the thread, but I had a quick question - I love the way you have your Sims lined up in a row, seamlessly, showing them in each stage of dress. Are you using the Poser mod for that?
    Here, among friends, you can call me Jewels (or Julie).
    My not very profound or life-altering signature quote: Life is short, so laugh often - it will make your children nervous. B)

    My thread of Sincere Thanks
    No more wishlist for me! It disappeared in a poof of gift-giving smoke!

    Thank you to all my visiting friends who came to check out my thread <3 Especially those who I hadn't told this thread existed...you creepy stalkers you :hushed:

    @ciane :blush: Thank you so much for the two thumbs up! I was quite nervous about starting this thread :| and means a lot from a creative giant like you :kissing_heart:

    @mothersuperior2 Hehe I knew you'd find me >:) Thank you for your alliterative compliments :'( and use of the word awesome, a word so special to my heart :blush: Thank you forever for always stopping by to observe and support my foolishness <3 and thank you especially for bringing your trouser dropping smiley sig which just adds that special touch of class to all my threads :*

    @ZeeGee Nooo! You found me :weary: The only reason I started this thread was to escape from you :bawling:

    @jbsquared2000 It wasn't really my idea to display them here :p Though as always I'll take the credit B) Anyhoo you're are most welcome to crash and ask questions! I am honoured :blush: I was originally a bit embarrassed by my pics especially after seeing your lovely collages. As to your question: No I'm not using the poser mod. I'm not very tech savvy (and at this point I had no photo editor to help) so I went to CAS selected my saved sim and made 5 twins put them in my test lot, changed each into a different outfit and then paused the game while they all looked relatively normal. I then used moveobjects cheat to move my sims into a line and took pics! Then I promised my Sims that all photos were private then put pictures of them in their underwear on the internet o:)

    @ObviouSecret :star: YAY :star: I'm so glad you like them :blush: Thank you for such lovely detailed feedback <3 Especially your comments on the outfits as I wanted to get the colours right for you (Some people might say a bright yellow leopard print bikini might have been a risk too far :* ) I tried to make different scenarios for you to enjoy as you mentioned somewhere on the exchange thread you wanted something new to liven up your game. I genuinely hope my sims do that for you and you have tons of fun :kissing_heart:

    I'm looking forward to seeing your next gift for your buddy as Owen's Docks look so great especially the aquarium :)

    Thank you for being an amazing buddy to build/create for <3

    P.S Dancing a jig and playing the banjo simultaneously? You have some insane talent :hushed: I can dance a jig and fall over at the same time....
    ....which is much harder to do then it sounds :kissing:

    Kevin was thrilled to accompany me into your thread showing other Sims in their undergarments. We are both amazed at the thought of quins posing for you, without apparently suffering any permanent damage. Well done, on everything! <3
