    I'm rather jealous right now MissBrite! I would love to see some pictures of gameplay. I still need to make my purchase. I'm assuming it's worth buying? :)
    Call me Ella!

    Here's a few screenshots, i would take more but i'm in the early stages of building for both games (trying with no cheats, we'll see how long it lasts haha) ^__^) and i play with my graphic settings down, so they aren't very pretty haha (all are clickable to view full size :D )

    Pulling up into Pretty Port (yes thats what its called heehe)

    I have to play multiple games at once because i get ADD majorly playing Sims so I started a resort in Dragon Valley (remember, early stages!):

    Getting around Paradisio, the 'hard way'. Seriously, don't skimp on water transportation. On land, you get the cheapy car, and it takes a little longer, but it's not THAT big a deal. Here, it took my poor robot 6-12 hours to get from work to home. It's slow on the row boat.

    Probably not the best idea

    Sure beats rowboat

    Oo, I'm starting to crave this EP now. ;-; But I don't have the computer space, I don't think... Nor the money - I just spent a load on random books today. @_@

    I'm super jealous of everyone here who has Island Paradise!!! I've wanted this EP since the first time I saw the trailer, and now that it's out and everyone is posting pictures and saying how fun it is is making me really sad since I can't get it right now!! :cry:
    Oh, and the sims 3 facebook page is spamming my wall with stuff about Island Paradise, they're torturing me!! lol!!

    Thanks! ^^ Ahaha yeah it was a toughy choosing the heir of the third gen, either Aleron or Amaura and I picked Aleron since he already had Kate as his girlfriend and I love her so much (: Haha and I thought 3rd was hard with only 3 beautiful children to pick from! Boy oh boy, this heir picking is gonna be a toughy! XD I'm leaning towards Piper though (:

    I've started the 100 Baby Challenge in Starlight Shores.

    This is the baby mommy Emily. She's based on one of my sister's friends in RL, so my sister made sure that her simself was accurate, as she's got work experience this week, but had today off.

    9183028059_06c6f7e43f.jpg

    Here's Emily in game.

    9185246104_daf7e53d6a.jpg

    9185245572_34b5c396f5.jpg

    She's had three kids already.

    The father of the first two is Darren Lott. Emily had twin girls by him, who I called Jaz (short for Jasmine) and Sophie.

    Here's Jaz. She's quite cute; all she got from Darren was the mouth.

    9185245132_c7684b54d4.jpg

    9183036229_d60d6f2680.jpg

    However, Sophie was less fortunate. She's pretty much a clone of him and his features do not look good on females

    9185253396_50376afcc1.jpg

    [9183035513_92350d718d.jpg

    The third child was a boy called Tim, whose father is Paul Best, the granddad in the Best family. He is mostly Emily, but I think he may have Paul's eye shape.

    9185252966_4a6fe2a756.jpg

    Here's Emily's toddler picture for comparison

    Hi everyone! I wanted to ask about hq/hd mods...
    Do you use any?
    Which one do you use?
    Does it negatively affect gameplay?
    Does it conflict with default skin replacements?

    I use it when I'm taking pictures, but not when I'm actually playing the game, because it tells you not to.
    I use the one on S-Club, here... http://sclub.mktm.co.uk/en/2013/01/ts3-hqmod/
    It doesn't really make my game lag or anything, but I just don't use it when playing the game because it tells you not to.
    And I wouldn't know about the last question because I don't use any default skin replacements. But if you're looking for better quality close-ups, I'd definitely recommend it! :D

    Ok, thank you very much GreenDayGirl! :mrgreen: I'm so surprised that sims can look so good without cc default skins. Your avi is so lovely. Again thank you! :)

    I also use the HQ mod made by S-Club in it's lowest "strength" as it were. It's laggy on the computer I am using now, but not on the one which I currently play sims on. It doesn't conflict with my default skin replacement either.

    I have something called the "You are real" mod, which actually adds detailing to my default skin tone to make my sims look more realistic.

    Picture time:

    (Yes, it's the return of my derpy simself. LOL!)

    It does affect gameplay indeed. Here's an example of what it'll look like when your during regular gameplay...

    Glitch2_zpsebbaaa04.jpg

    The graphics are not pretty when your playing regularly. It doesn't affect it so so heavily, but it does affect the graphics of the sims, the cars, and the objects and such

    Thank you for showing me the pictures, Justkeepsimming. Your sims are very pretty, your simself doesn't look derpy at all.
    Thank you Angel_Zarr, for showing me how the hq mod affects regular gameplay.
    I'm always lurking around here and I see everyone's stunning photos and I just always thought you kept the mod in all of the time.
    This is one of my favorite forums to visit, I love to see how talented and creative you all are. Everything is so beatiful here. :)

    Your welcome! And also that proves that the HQ mod is in your game (if you get those glitches) :D

    Howdy Angel! You can definitely call me Ari - a lot of people on the forums do! :mrgreen:
    Thank you so much for the welcome - I've always been so intimidated to come to these parts, but I've been learning so much looking at some of the tutorials.

    Can anyone suggest any photo editing tutorials for beginners? :D
