    Hi Everyone!

    Thanks for all the comments on my latest story! Mucho appreciated!

    First I should explain that I didn't realize he had the Hates the Outdoors trait until after I sent him fishing. It was then that I saw the negative moodlet and figured it out. LOL I wanted him to catch a few fish to use as fertilizer for his garden plants. I added a few of the flower pots to the back yard and Darren planted seeds in them, hence the need for fertilizer. In the future, I'll let Darleen do all of the gardening. I wasn't trying to be mean to him. Does anyone know if they'll still get the negative moodlet if they're inside a greenhouse? FuzzySlipers45, I don't have any plans to kill off Darleen at this point. In Sims 2, I would always resurrect her with SimPE and add her back to the household. But it's early in my story and plans could change. And-it-is-on, I think I'll tell Darren to get over it, too. I'm resisting the urge to change his traits. I want to play him as is.

    @Celiria - I commented in the old thread on your latest chapter but since you reposted it here, I'll comment again. I'm really enjoying this story. Kyrie is definitely plagued by self-doubt. She wants so desperately to start over yet she's still unable to let go of her past. And Jenny is a reminder of that past. I'm very curious as to Jenny's motives here. Certainly, there's more to it that just Mrs. Miller's recommendation to give her a chance. It has me intrigued.

    @rednenemon - Little Locke is so adorable with his new toy! Mignon sure seems to be a klutz! I love the pull-up bar and use it in most of my homes. Hooray for the spring rider! I never think to use them on residential lots. Guess I should do so. Nice update!

    @Mikezumi - Hi and thanks for posting in our new thread!

    @TadOlson - Thanks for posting a photo from Create-A-World. I've always been curious about that program but haven't had the time nore patience to learn it.

    @FuzzySlipers45 - the only lighting mod I've used is the one from Burnt Waffles specifically for Midnight Hollow. I've removed it when I started playing Roaring Heights and won't reinstall it until I play Midnight Hollow once again. So the lighting you see in my photos is the normal lighting for Lucky Palms.

    @MayaRose1138 - Yes, Darren is a fast mover in this story. Normally, I wouldn't rush it. But he's already several days into his Young Adult life stage at the beginning of play, so I didn't want to wait too long before having him marry Darleen and ultimately have a son, Dirk. But I'm getting ahead of myself. As for names for your Superhero Sims, I suggest Magenta and Magneto.

    @Unlockedinferno - That's so funny that every male Sim wants to flirt with Charlotte! Of course, she is adorable, so why wouldn't they? I like Charlotte's new Autumn look. Very nice! And I'm glad Gus is spending time with his daughter. She's gonna have him wrapped around her pinkie finger in no time!

    @GBA91101Nver4get - It's good to see you made it over to this thread. It sounds like you've been busy in your game. It sounds like Jack is busy with his medical career. I always hated the journals they had to keep reading, over and over again. But I guess that's like real life.

    @Colorist40 - Thanks for re-posting your latest Shrek update. I enjoyed this chapter. I have just a little inkling now of sympathy for Shrek. I didn't up until now because of his selfishness and they way he treated Fiona. I still don't like him, but there's room for that to change. He has a long way to go before I think he deserves Fiona, in my opinion. She has too good a heart for him right now. Oh, thanks for your comments on my story. Yes, I don't think Darren could actually afford his home if he weren't already living in it. The bills are kinda high for him right now and he doesn't make too much from his paintings. Of course, my next update will have him married to Darleen and she'll also bring money into the home. I just need to edit the photos tonight and upload them to Photobucket in order to do my next update. She's a musician. I'm thinking of keeping here there or I might make her a Singer live I've done before. Either way, she'll need to learn her guitar skills.

    @wickichick - Thanks for starting a new thread for us! And I'm so happy to be able to use your bakery in Lucky Palms. I do plan on having Darren paint some landscapes. I think there's a "capture the moment" option I've seen in the game. I'll have to see if he can use that to paint once he's home. If not, he'll have to suffer with the -20 mood adjustment.

    @Painterly27 - You have such a fresh and unique approach to a story. I haven't really used the Palace of Versailles set yet. I does make for a fun story! Violetta is gorgeous in her fine hair and dress.

    @XKidsInLoveX - Hi and welcome! I'm looking forward to Franchesca's story! Sounds like she had no problem meeting Andrew!

    @LunBeauty - Good to see an update from you! I love the gift giving party! I usually turn off the Winter season, so I don't get them. That reminds me, I didn't do that yet with Lucky Palms. Congratulations on the birth of little Hadley! She's so cute!

    @Simmer999 - Hi and Welcome!

    Best Regards,
    Nik

    Nik24x7- thats hilarious about darren, you could always build him a little biodome type thing with carpet to look like grass, with A stocked pond inside and planters. The green house functions as an actual room, so it wouldnt give him a negative moodlet! :)

    Well you are asking a biased person lol. I would always pick the girls. I love the girls in sims since they are so much more customizable. So go with her.

    Welcome by the way. I am loving all the new people jumping on in here. Can't wait to see more of your game. :-)

    Thanks for the welcome! I'm going to play the girl and save the guy for another file. I almost always play guy Sims so a girl will be a fun change.

    I changed two of the pictures to link form that I assumed were inappropriate.

    Darn I missed the racy pics. :oops: :lol: Story of my life a day late, a dollar short lol.

    It's a good thing links are clickable then. ;)

    How did I miss the links? :shock: You really posted that pic? lol You racy woman you lol. Good thing you took it down as EA probably would have locked this thread lol.

    I really love your sims attire! Are you playing a period game? Or are they dressed for something special? I think its awesome youve found a good use for the versallies set, Ive yet to use it in game! Cant wait to see more.

    Yep, I am doing a game set somewhere in the 18th century (1700 - 1800). It's really fun to do something different. I have quite a few pics now, so I'll get more up as soon as I can.

    I’m not 100% happy with Charlotte’s new look, I couldn’t come up with anything I was happy with in the end I gave up. I’m with you on Gus and Jared I’m starting to think they are only interested in Charlotte for the free food.


    @XKidsInLoveX Andrew is a bit yummy, no wonder Franchesca wanted the date to go on forever.

    @LunBeauty hairy chest are the best.
    All three kids seem very well skilled, hopefully the fourth will follow in there ways.
    Could the shower picture go a little lower next time please?
    OMG Hadley eyes, STUNNGING!

    @Simmer999 Welcome to the thread. I look forward to seeing your pictures and reading you stories. We are all a nice bunch here.

    I remember seeing a post a couple years ago from the Gurus or moderators taht they would lock threads over 200 pages as quickly as possible since they eat up a lot of forum resources. I'm not surprised that the old thread is now locked. Out with the old, in with the new, as they say.

    Painterly27,

    Are you playing in Côtes d'Ambonnay, by any chance? Since you're doing a period game, I was hoping you might be. It's a custom world and it looks quite gorgeous! I haven't played any custom worlds, but if I were to do so, this would be the one. Here's a link:

    I'm not great at writing a story either. I have no trouble coming up with it in my head whilst I'm playing but its a struggle when it comes to typing it up.

    Amy Valentin is surrounded by boys and fans. She doesn't understand why. Her acting career hasn't started due to the lack of studio in Isla Paradiso and she's already famous. All she remembers is waking up on an empty lot with 100 million cash in her pocket. After visiting the bank, she found much more cash, too much too count. She knows she had a life before, and she's blaming her absent-minded self for it, but is there more to the story?

    Traits:
    Dramatic
    Absent-Minded
    Eco-Friendly
    Irresistible
    Vegetarian
    Lifetime Wish: Superstar Actor
    Favorites:
    Food: Pancakes
    Music: R&B
    Color: Aqua

    I'm starting to work on the house, how does the story sound? The house will probably take a while, I'll post updates as I go along though. Don't get your hopes too high, I'm horrible at houses. I added the cash stuff so she could have a really HUGE house.

    Nik24X7: Wow! What a lovely world, it would fit perfectly! Sadly I don't have all of the EPs ... in fact I'm missing quite a few. I'm using Dragon Valley - lots of empty, rolling hills and very few modern touches.

    XKidsInLoveX: It's not too hard to stick with the times - just no modern looking things like radios, TVs, etc. I downloaded the steampunk sets too, so there may be a few "experimental" things in the future :)

    I'm here!
    A new thread will be good.

    Since we are starting 'new'. Here is an update from the Efron Family.
    In this family, Its Jen, who is me. Zac my fiancee and our dog Zeke.
    We live in Bridgeport. Zac is joining the military and I'll be joining the Political Career.
    Here is our house.
    screenshot_original.jpg

    The first day in the new house was spent learning skills. Zac learning athletic and me learning painting. (i really like this little open space for our skills.) I plan on Zac learning piano as well.
    screenshot_original.jpg

    While Zac and I are learning things, Zeke is in the yard being his independent self and running around. Zeke also knows where the food is. lol
    screenshot_original.jpg

    That is all i have for you guys. I won't be able to update for 4 days. I'm going to Salt Lake City for a Psychological association conference. I will be able to comment on every one's stories using my Kindle.

    Have a Great weekend everyone. I look forward to all the new stories as well as catching up on old stories.

    Missed out on racy pics. My day is ruined!

    Kidding. Will generally lurk on this thread and post random updates.


    So I moved one of my Sims, Marina, from Starlight Shores to Twinbrook. As a non-performer Sim, she just felt out of place. The creative and crafty town of Twinbrook should be a better fit for her, hopefully!

    Started off enjoying a nice outdoor bath after all that effort in moving. One of the local paparazzi decided to just hop on and enjoy some steam. Didn't even ask. No worries.

    PXDdQ7k.jpg

    Then another visitor decided to join on in too...

    ptmnKVC.jpg

    That face! LOL

    C2x3LeO.jpg

    But as dawn was nearing, she turned back into being a human and had a nice chat with the paparazzi fellow. As long as there's no mess to clean up, all good!

    5Q5FACL.jpg

    Decided to turn off paparazzi people with NRaas's Register mod, so the fellow became a normal Sim in town. Since he was hungry, Marina let him in to have a breakfast of pancakes.

    xMTvd6c.jpg

    Then she had to leave for work, and the guy didn't even eat the pancakes!

    2ae6Emm.jpg

    Life Fruit pancakes wasted!!!! ;x


    Will probably stick to Marina on my updates here and there, so a bit of background:

    Marina started off as a Sim in Isla Paradiso. Born from a Lifeguard father and Scuba Diver mother, she had things pretty well off from the start. The family moved to Sunlit Tides, where Marina grew up. After getting her Technology degree and earning a tremendous amount of Nerd group influence from university, she moved out to Starlight Shores on her own. The town was very performance profession-orientated, so she decided to move to a quieter town that had more of a feel she liked. Thus she ended up in Twinbrook!

    VJoEWiZ.jpg

    Her outfits vary tremendously in appearance, but she's just quirky in that manner.

    Traits:
    Bookworm
    Computer Wiz
    Gatherer
    Neat
    Virtuoso

    Genius [Degree Trait]
    Irresistible [Social Group Trait]

    Lifetime Wish: Master Mixologist.

    Mastered her mixology skill during her time in Starlight Shores, working on the Video Game Developer career path to make enough Simoleans to live comfortably. Gathering seeds and planting them, fishing, and hacking slot machines at the casino are her additional sources of income towards buying her own bar eventually!

    XKidsInLoveX: This looks like it could be a fun story. I can't wait to read more. :)

    Simmer999: I tend to find females more fun to play because you can do so much more with them, plus they just come with better clothes and hair in my opinion.

    Nik24X7: Well, I have all of the seasons, but I just turned off the weather because things like rain and hail tends to lag my game, plus I hate it when it rains everyday during Spring preventing my sims from going anywhere. I was so surprised that Hadley ended up with blonde hair and blue eyes. The last people that had blonde hair were Felicia and Castor and that was I think three or four generations ago.

    Colorist40: That's what I get for having the Decensor mod, lol. Next time I'll give her hair that drapes over both her shoulders and hides that certain part of her body, lol.

    Unlockedinferno: Well, all three kids need to max at least one skill before they can age up into teens, although I think I might make it to where they only have to get to level five of that skill, lol. As for James in the shower, um...even though my sims look like Barbies from the waist-down, I don't want to risk being the cause of this thread being locked up. :lol: I really don't need the torches and pitchforks after me. :p

    Simlish1: That house is cute. :) Liam is quite handsome and I can't wait for him and Elise to have beautiful red-headed babies. :D

    Baker9793: I like the family so far. Zeke is too cute. He reminds me so much of my dog, Sugar. :lol:

    KatieTerrorFace: I like Twinbrook better than Starlight Shores, personally, so good call on moving your sim there. :) Paparazzi sims are so weird. >.< Zombies are pretty funny in The Sims 3. :lol: Paparazzi are just annoying. I do like Marina's outfits. :) She's such a cute sim. :D
