@Charlottesmom Is it Photobucket that is causing the issues then?
It's been 'under maintenance' for a day and a half at least, but it seems to be working again. Photobucket has been having a ton of issues lately.
What really annoys me is that even when it's down I get tons of spam about their special offers for frames or printed canvases or whatever... Makes me want to scream at my computer!
Edit: Oh. I forgot to mention that I installed my first mod today! (Nraas Owerwatch and it seems to be working very well. My Bridgeport save is quite laggy so I wanted to try if the mod could help.)

It "seems" to be working again for me too, I was reading all the scathing comments on downdetector.com and someone mentioned that they should be up and running this morning, shocking that they were. I have had a few issues this week but generally it works okay most of the time.
Yeah, I also love the "well we ruined your blog, business, ebay transactions, for almost two days... but here have a free mouse pad" type attitude they have.
Did I start you on a new subject @CravenLestat? I'll post pics of Luella too for a while now. It seems she and Ben have eyes for each other at the moment in my game.
After hanging out all day Sara stays over. She has stayed over with Tommy before and trusts him and feels safe with him.
They soon decide to meet up more often.
Sara gets her idea for her hair from another girl she saw who was happily on a date. (Sara was actually the first Sim that I remember who I gave this hair to)
They have a nice day together.
Note you can see a small dog under the table. That was my parent's Simselves dog.
They think about starting a relationship.
Toby cannot but help a bit envious however. He had always liked Sara but no she was seeing his best friend.
He now realised that he was actually in love with her.
Maybe Toby should find another girlfriend? He does feel envious when Sara invites Tommy and Marsha over.
Maybe he should ask Marsha out?
He had always gotten along with Marsha and was good looking.
Before Marsha goes home Toby tries to make a move the best way possible.
Unfortunately for Toby she is already seeing someone, a guy named Harvey he is Toby and Tommy's other friends.
Typical!
Those where the final pictures from the album but at one stage I cloned Toby, Sara, Tommy, Tim and Marsha and aged them up and sent them to University three years ago with different named.
The picture below shows Emma who is a clone of Marsha aged up and Sara (in the right of this picture) was renamed Sarah. Toby was renamed Ran who you can just about see in the picture as well. I changed the relationships around somewhat but I will share the pictures another time.
@karritz Cannot blame Ben even a little bit He is just a man after all and one does not simply walk past Luella unscathed.Her alluring scent and exceptional looks will leave scars and keep one up many hours in night.The big brown eyes nobody can resist.Poor Ben he is a prisoner of her charm now.
And @plushtrap_107 Tell that flea bitten good for nothing furball Rylee the rules Nobody gets to maul half nekkid girls wearing sheer lavender undergarments except my sim.Jupiter you know better,now march up to my room this instant
@king_of_simcity7 I like the base game hair with the ribbon and think it is really cute.It goes good for making cheerleader sims.
Didn't accomplish much story wise, I was just messing around with Billy, Luke, JJ and Kyle (JJ and Kyle are not in my story but I was remodeling their house a bit so played them a bit):
Claire Ursine threw a party and invited Luke who dragged Billy along:
Connor was there also, so the guys started chatting with him, Claire and Madison slow dancing in the background made me giggle:
I figured poor Luke needed a distraction and Sam will do nicely:
Seems the pair like each other:
When Billy and Luke got home, they did what all other best friends do...Streak!
Luke did an extra lap around the house:
Back to clothed conversation:
Over to JJ and Kyle's house, Betty was over there for some insane reason, I haven't played their house for awhile but I didn't think they knew her.
Story Idea...Betty gets together with JJ *Jared clone tweaked* and has 5 million kids, I have a feeling they would be really cute. Just kidding, they can live their Simmy lives without me butting in.
On second though Betty and Kyle would be awesome together!
She looks totally into him! *he is a Connor clone tweaked*
Lily went to the rollercoaster venue while Frankie went to work. But when Frankie got there, he just lingered around the front of the hospital missing about an hour or 2 of work until I told him to go to work.
After riding the rollercoaster and going inside for a bite to eat, she headed out to the archery section to try her hand at basic shooting...
After doing some archery, she wanted to shoot some hoops...
Now on to some skeeball...
Then she had some ghosthunting work to do. But on her way out of the venue to go to her first stop, she spotted Samuel Goth floating around the venue and she had to stop and take a look at him.
Her first stop was to the Community Center for a Paranormal investigation.
Next stop was to get rid of an angry ghost that was haunting this house and being mean to the Sims that live there.
Frankie goes out and investigate the strange lights out in his yard for a second night in a row.
Frankie: OH NO, not this again. Please let them be gentle with me.
The alien dropping Frankie off at home.
Frankie was doing this on his way in the house, just throwing his around all over the place and all.
Lily was doing her evil laugh and this here.
Frankie wanted to go and give Lily a hug...
Frankie flirting with Lily.
Lily giving Frankie a heat of the moment kiss. Now why he is thinking of a broken heart, I don't know. Maybe he just doesn't want Lily to break his heart or he doesn't want to break her heart.
The 2 doing some cuddling on the bed.
I placed out the mood light and caught this one but then Frankie had to leave for work.
Lily brought some recipe books to learn new recipes for cooking.
That's it for now as I have to go to a baby shower for a friend's son and his girlfriend who is having her 1st baby and his 2nd one. So everyone have fun and happy simming today...
Hi you all! loving all your pics and stories so I gave you a bunch of awesomes.
@lanlyn may be if you use nraas master controller there is a function "objects estatistics" (I supose because in spanish it is "estadísticas de objetos" and I don´t know how it is called in english or any other language) with it you can choose what objects to delete from a list, just select which spawners to eliminate and may be you can make it without your game crashing, it has worked for me sometimes...
We had a great wedding party at Versailles gradens, every body had a good time, the bride was gorgeous and then they started their honey moon at the hotel
I can play at last TS2 TS3 and TS4 So great that toddlers are here!!!
@lisasc360 I've had that issue with my sim just standing around at work (in fact Noel just blew his last gig by setting up the stage and then just standing there until the gig ended, I'm still not sure exactly what happened) I really enjoyed your update.
Inspired by @lanlyn 's apartment cabin that even the aliens use, I decided to build an apartment building in Isla Paradiso. I bulldozed an empty house on Greenbeard road and built my first apartment building ever. Then I decided it was ugly (it was large and dull and the windows were random and messy) and I bulldozed it again, and built another one I was I little more satisfied with:
I kept zooming on it the next day to see if it was being used. It was! Story Progression hasn't moved a household into the livable apartment yet, but service Sims kept coming, and also homeless townies like Ariel Walsh:
Auntie Nophret attacking little William with The Claw:
Don and JC decided that JC should move in with Carrie during her illness, JC was hoping she would somehow get better but all signs pointed to her going downhill as she was no longer responding to the last experimental medication. Saying goodbye for a little while...
Jamie Jolina was assigned to Carrie but Julia her co-worker was Carrie's best friend so Jamie stepped down and let Julia take over (Jamie moved out of my town recently w/o my permission the brat!):
JC took a few days off work and decided to redecorate Carrie's room to try and cheer her up, he also bought her a nice comfy livingroom set and had it delivered for her. Carrie was extreamely happy with the improvements.
Will, Carrie's best friend and now ex-boss (as Carrie has reluctantly quit her job due to her being tired constantly) has been stopping by to check on her daily:
Since Carrie is so tired all the time, the major discussions of the day are held in bed...Carrie calls it her "command center". A big discussion about the color black and computers seemed to be of great interest to the two:
I can see photos now, so I went back to look at past posts.
@Cororon Cute pics of the girls--the one with the blue jay and also the one with them playing Twister. @Summerskydreamer Beautiful Arabian horse. @ddsims3world Great beach home. I love the roof skylights. I like the warm touches you used to soften the white/black colors.
@Gernadia I'm glad Leon and Noel have welcomed Alice into their home. The pics of her with her dad and uncle are great. A nice family. ...I like their home too. 3 stories high! And Alice has a lot of space just for herself.
@CravenLestat I loved the pictures of the secret garden outfits. All the flowers with those flowered patterns were gorgeous! @KarinL Congrats to the Alto family. She's a darling toddler.
@Charlottesmom You are the Queen of Textures! That snakeskin car! Love it! ...The dynamics between Billy and Luke are something else, especially about those twins. ...Those pics of Carrie are so sad. I'm sorry the drug therapy isn't working for her. That last pic of her in bed. ...I enjoyed your recent pics too. The streaking! You know, I've never seen a sim streak in any of my games. ...Kyle is a great looking guy.
@Hemera123 Loved your CC clothes, particularly the third dress. Beautiful. Also, I like Alice Wonder--her eyes. She has plenty of room in her apartment for expanding too. Nice. ...I took a look at your Alice blog. That's neat about the meteor. ...RE: slow elevator. I recently installed a mod by bluegenjutsu that speeds up elevators. I got tired of them taking so long!
@PalmArrow Glad your apartment is working out for you. I do think it's fun to actually have the service sims living in town. But now I'm not sure about the aliens. Last night, I checked the apartment building call box to see who all was living there, and I didn't see those aliens. Maybe they were just visiting after all...several nights in a row!
@TadOlson I put a food replicator machine on one of my Lost Cove community lots and the waiter showed up. I think I'll leave him though. The world doesn't have many sims right now, so the waiter helps make the neighborhood look more populated. But I have Register installed, so I'll see how it goes. I may disable the waiter function later.
@Karritz I agree, I like that sweater dress too. ...Very nice pics of the horses near the standing stones. And the train shots were awesome! Not something you see too often. Also, I don't think I've seen a sim get into a cupboard like that. Is that a game action or a mod? It looks neat.
@coco Great pics of Sun and Saville together. And beautiful scenery pics of the park and other areas around Bridgeport. Loved the pigeons! @plushtrap_107 Funny about the burglar being afraid of Rylee cat! Love that last pic of Jupiter cuddling Rylee.
@king_of_simcity7 Sorry that Toby and Marsha couldn't get together. Poor guy. Finding love is not always easy. @lisasc360 Fun pics of Frankie and Lily at the amusement park--the archery and the roller coaster. Frankie got abducted again. Uh oh!
@junceda Your wedding pictures were lovely. I liked the idea of using the platform by the fountain. The outfits of the bride and groom were awesome too! ...RE: NRass objects by list. I have used that function before, but always forget about it. Thanks for the reminder! Next time I have an issue like the one I had with the spawners, I'll try that solution.

So, last night I found out that the game has moved 3 sims into the medieval cottage I made for a household I had planned. Darn! I should have marked the house Ownable instead of Regular until I could get the 3 ladies created.
The sims the game moved in are all high level singers. And they all have the hidden trait Can Apprehend Burglar. Strange combo. There are two females and one human male. One woman is a fairy and the other is a mermaid. Stranger and stranger!
Now I'll have to evict them. Maybe I can keep the girls and do makeovers--just evict the guy. Sorry, dude. Nothing personal.
I took out one of the harvest carts in the small park and added chickens.
Emad woke up early one day and I had him practice with the acrobat ball. Next lot to add is a Live/Karaoke venue for entertainers.
Horse transportation.
I added a small stage for guitars at the horse ranch. I might fancy it up later.
Comments
What really annoys me is that even when it's down I get tons of spam about their special offers for frames or printed canvases or whatever... Makes me want to scream at my computer!
Uggg!!! Know exactly what you mean.
@coco Your pics are so beautiful! Great update.
What happened in my game today is in my blog:
Playing with Alice
This way all the pictures will surely show up.
Edit: Oh. I forgot to mention that I installed my first mod today! (Nraas Owerwatch and it seems to be working very well. My Bridgeport save is quite laggy so I wanted to try if the mod could help.)

It drives me crazy too.

It is autumn! Mars has made friends with Loki Beaker. He was having a bad day so she gave him a hug.
Cyrus likes rabbits; he almost doesn't want to eat his Freezer Bunny ice cream because it's so cute.
Oh no, a burglar! What is this though...
He is scared of Rylee, the cat!
The burglar flees! Sadly, the police don't catch him but at least he didn't steal anything.
Team Galactic are proud of their guard cat. Here, Jupiter gives Rylee a cuddle.
Tommy and Sara decide to meet up
After hanging out all day Sara stays over. She has stayed over with Tommy before and trusts him and feels safe with him.

@CravenLestat, I just laughed so much, I choked xD Poor old Rylee! You need to fight Edvin Oss in a duel; he's currently dating Jupiter!

The annual Japanese festival is coming up in Riverview and Sun Young Kim was voted Empress for the festival which is a huge deal...
Sounds exciting right??
Except that 9 AM this morning get a knock on my office door and Sun came in crying telling me she did not even own a Kimono....
NOT IN MY TOWN
So luckily my private Jet was fueled up and sent Betty over to Tokyo to pick you up a Traditional Kimono for Sun's promo photoshoot.
Dont let it happen again.

@Charlottesmom and @Gernadia Good pictures
@lanlyn really great upgrades to the houses (hovels) yes, I haven't had a chance to try to fix my photo issues but thanks for reading.
@Cadh20000 good luck with the reinstall! I hope your save is retrievable.
@TadOlson yay summer! I bet they don't miss the blizzard.
@Karritz Lovely horse photos!
@coco Loved the update. LOL yes many of my sim's dates seem to prefer different tables.
@KarinL maybe if we buy some coffee mugs with our screen shots on them it'll work? LOL
@plushtrap_107 Yay Rylee! Saving the house what a great guard cat.
@king_of_simcity7 great update

@Gernadia, she's such a good cat, I bought her a big cat condo as a reward
@Gernadia Thanks for the feedback
It is like we were meant for each other
So much to catch up on this thread,you guys should be ashamed of yourselves playing sims 3 and posting all this awesome stuff
