@everyone Actually I've thought a little bit about where all the sims 3 worlds are based, what do you guys think? So far I reckon it goes like this:
Sunset Valley: i have no idea (this could be anywhere maybe?)
Twinbrook: Louisiana/Arkansas & everywhere southern & coastal as far as Florida with swamps!
Bridgeport: New York City
Appaloosa Plains: Missouri/Iowa/Kansas
Starlight Shores: Los Angeles
Riverview: I guess Texas or something, like Sunset Valley i feel like this could be a lot of places
Lucky Palms: Palm Springs/Nevada/Arizona
Moonlight Falls: Washington/Oregon maybe
Sunlit Tides: Hawaii/Fiji/Micronesia
Isla Paradiso: Jamaica/Cuba/Haiti etc
Monte Vista: Southern France/Portugal/Spain/possibly southern Italy?
I know there are many more worlds but I've just listed the ones i have

Yes, I always have felt that Sunset Valley was inspired by Santa Cruz! We've got the bay to the south, like the Monterrey Bay, the hills and mountains with redwoods to the north--even maybe a few hidden waterfalls! The garden mall in the center of town. Even the architecture is Santa Cruz-like! I also feel that Riverview is a lot like Chico, CA, or the inland Northern California, and Appaloosa Plains feels like Davis, CA, to me.
I agree with all your others! And there's that cool World with the hot air balloon--I can't remember the name of that one ATM, but it's got those brightly colored homes and hot springs--it reminds me of maybe Iceland or something!
I played TS3 last night and had a blast! The Sims were way smarter and way more complex than I'd remembered or noticed before. Through playing TS4, my style of play has shifted a lot (more observant, more respectful of the Sims' decisions and self-direction, and more relying on autonomy) so that probably affected the experience.
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!

Riverview reminds me a lot of the smaller old countryside towns that are all over Finland too. So yeah, it could definitely be a lot of places.
Speaking of Riverview, hi, everyone! Here's a new chapter to The Chrysanthemum Tango!
Chapter 15: Light Side, Grey Side
Things are going smoothly in Riverview. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t going downhill elsewhere.
A.k.a This is like two mini chapters mashed up into one. Yay for confused tones!

"As Tears Go By," Chapter 9, He*ll Hath No Fury

Hi guys, I'm ready with the next chapter of the Talented. You can read it here!
And a little reply:
@thesealofthesims I'm sorry to hear things have been rough for you. The heat here has been pretty unbearable as well - actually, it's mostly the humidity. When we went outside the past couple of days it's felt like we were hit by a wall of heat. Ugh. It's not even sunny - just hot and humid. Awful. I hope you'll get back into your writing again, soon. And thanks. I do hope that I can get the license soon so I don't have to keep doing lessons and so on and so forth. It's not fun.
In reality news, I was laying in bed just now and my very gentle, attentive cat named Finn whom I have dubbed to be my "nurse kitty" since he never leaves my side if I'm sick or in pain and he will stroke my cheek very lovingly if he senses I am in any kind of distress and he still loves to lay as close to being in my arms as he can despite him weighing seventeen pounds, and just now he hopped up on my bed and was staring at my wall my bed is up against very attentively and normal I don't give that any credence since he just stares into space all the time or stares at something I can't see, but this time I had this instinct to look up just to see a huge black spider lingering on my wall, so very close to dropping on my bed and I lunged out of bed, grabbed the nearest sturdy item I had available which was a coloring book, stood on my bed which is a very risky thing to do since I don't have great balance as it is, but thankfully I managed to slam my book flat on that spider and it is now nothing but a pancake. Gosh, my Finn becomes more and more amazing every day lol!

Despite being a 40+ year-old male, I've been a Sims fan from the start. I recently invested in a laptop and The Sims 4, which I've been enjoying playing for the last 3 months.
I currently have three generations living in a huge mansion and life is cool...for them anyway!

On that note - I must put on clothes and get booking or else I'll be late and everything. Hope you all have an awesome day!
no worries, and it's not too severe of a leg injury, just some nerve damage is keeping me down haha
i used to write on tumblr and followed a lot of story blogs, but when you get busy it can be really hard to keep up sometimes hahah or if it's been awhile since the last update, you eventually forget to check it as often and when you remember, you're like 5 updates behind. it's why i have my story set to publish on the same days every week; cause i hate getting left behind by random updates hahaha.
as for hope, my challenge focused on me playing her as the only sim (The Lonely Child Challenge) since they can't cook, work or clean. it was more interesting to play a sim where you have really little control. i think my main issue was more than i'd get frustrated or bored playing as the child (and i had been planning on starting my legacy as well, and i think my excitement for my legacy overwhelmed my excitement for my child challenge). thank you for the advice though, and the friendly welcome! (:

Also, if you want to add them to your Origin library (like if you've already bought TS3 on there but bought add-ons in Steam), you can transfer them to Origin using the serials. Here's a good article on it.

Just curious. Those of you who have it, how are you liking the new Kids Room Stuff Pack? I'm a diehard Sims 3 fan, but IMO, they really did an awesome job with it.
