The grownups gathered around for Jay's birthday. I didn't want to wait until the kids got home from school.
Jay's favourite colour is purple. I might need to work on the colour of his top a bit later.
He stayed cross-eyed until it was time for cake
Josh asked Paul for a dance while Jay asked Jason for a game of catch
I sent the family to the bowling alley after Jason and Jay had had a brief game of catch Jay introduced himself to Jared Frio, now an adult.
Jason started a game of bowling while Josh ordered a drink.
Paul and Ian went for woohoo the second they walked in the door!
Jay chose to play an arcade game
Jason didn't get to finish his game
Instead of woohooing, the boys went their separate ways. Jason started another game of bowling and Josh danced.
I made Ian and Paul play pool to stop them from woohooing again
@Kesminlix Good looking sim! Have fun with your couple in Riverview
@Karritz That would have been freaky with the two versions of the IF. It's amazing that no matter how long we have played, there are still things that surprise us.
@afai1261 Cute pics of Cormac playing with Saoirse
Saoirse is a cute toddler
Awww more adorable pics of Cormac playing with now toddler Saoirse
Cormac and Morgan are very passionate
Adorable toddler skilling pics
Saoirse looks great as both female and male!
@coco Thanks for the lovely comments I did make the kids apologize because I can't stand tension in my family. I hate having to do it because no-one was in the wrong but I do what I have to to keep harmony.
Josh didn't go for risky woohoo - he went straight for try for baby! I could be wrong but I am pretty sure only my family oriented or ambitious sims do that. I have found that party animals are more likely to try for risky but not try for baby.
The population is starting to grow and there are several teens and many children so it won't be long before you see my sims socializing with others on community lots
@Brandontaylor The multi-tab is very useful! Brittany is flying through her skills
Poor sim! I don't have Seasons installed but I remember freaking out everytime there was a thunder storm when I played TS2!
Looking forward to seeing if you decide to give Brittany a makeover
@Springfairy556 Edward is right. It is Halloween and I am sure the guests weren't too worried about Charles. Edward makes a dashing ghost
I've had that happen with my fridge in one save where replacing it fixed the problem but it kept coming back after time. It was only the one save and hasn't happened since.
@emorrill Passionate pics of Emma and Sam!
Bye Lonnie!
Nice makeover for Genevieve
Bye Eunice!
Cute makeover for Astrid
Lovely makeover for Ella
I remember Edelaine! Nice makeover
I remember Carl too! Another nice makeover
Nice job on the Vanderburg roof!
Beautiful shot of Catarina and Rebecca playing in the water
What's good for the goose
You do realize that your butler is a zero slider?
Nice hair for Sebastian!
That is a very intense stare, Becky!
Cute outfit for Dace
Fester is adorable!
I should try ghost hunting one day!
Great makeover for Bruce!
Yep! Time for Dennis to find a home of his own
@LunBeauty Happy birthday Violet! She's a cutie Nice update!
Jaxon and Josie joined the boys after school.
Pia came a little later
I found Jaxon playing pool by himself upstairs
Josie took a little tumble
Jay and Pia got to know each other
Jason and Josh had a little photobooth fun
Ian joined Jaxon at the foosball table while Paul played pool on his own
I sent the family to the Diner for dinner
Jaxon rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend. Jason wouldn't take his eyes of Josh
The kids played chess to unlock the logic skill gained from the peg box.
I've seen Jaxon checking himself out before but it only occurred to me today that he does it because I gave him the flirty trait on aging up
Paul and Ian watched the stars
Jason and Josh watched the house
The kids had several potions wishes from unlocking the logic skill
@TinySpaceFox Be happy David, you're getting paid better. Think of all that money and how you'll spend it.
He doesn't know what to make of Lilith.
Whoa, interesting work clothes, Stephanie.
Very great update!
@Silverofdreams30 Thank you!
Fun time at the pool. It was a nice update.
Enjoyed the second update as well!
@Nikkei_Simmer Congratulations, Haruo and River!
I love the wedding pictures. They look good in their wedding clothes.
I love the quote, it's really beautiful.
Cute photo's of you and your wive's simselves!
@bekkasan You're welcome, I'm looking forward to the next update.
@meerkattime I appreciate the comments, I know 10 pages is a lot.
It sure did. It actually went faster than the first degree.
Thank you, I'm happy to say Andrew is growing up to be a good kid.
He will probably soon. Christopher only stays until Brittany remarries.
@king_of_simcity7 Nice update, I'm looking forward to seeing what Hana and Shelly com up with.
This is my mother sim. I took forever making her but would like some feedback on how I did since you guys seem to be much more experienced than me and I'm trying to improve my CAS skills.
[img][/img]
This is the father sim. I don't usually make male sims, but didn't want to have to worry about what I call the 'mate finding process'. And then together they have...
[img][/img]
This child, times two though since they're identical twins.
After I got them in game and had moved them into a house, I took a look at their wishes and saw that the mother wanted to join the political career and the father the business career. So I had them join those careers so they could start making some money for the family.
Also, I had a really had a hard time naming these sims, but I ended up calling the mother Rachel, the father Jo, and then naming the girls Lilac and Perri. Kind of odd names, I know, but I wanted them to be very unique and special so yeah.
But then, even though I'm not that familiar with wishes, Jo got a wish wishing for a child with Rachel. shocked
So, me being the nice family simmer I am, I had them try for a baby after a short romantic 'date'....
[img][/img]
So... I thought I heard a lullaby chime, but am not too sure. I secretly hope they're pregnant though, even though they're broke and I am a complete noob to raising kids...
Brittany decided to check her online dating profile. There were a lot of good candidates but some of the traits weren't good. She accepted the requests but she started to wonder, "Can I really keep doing this, finding a new spouse each time one dies until I'm the Ultimate Sim? What kind of life did I sign up for?"
Mom had to work but Lauren wanted to throw a party so her and Mack could meet some friends.
The party guests ate supper with Mack and Brittany after some dancing. I can't remember the names of the townies except for Don Lothario.
Brittany got promoted again! Even the ground is excited about it.
She had a wish to make $500 in tips so I sent her to The Grind to get that taken care of. Sadly, she didn't quite make it to $100.
So I sent her for an early morning protest, which was a success. I'm trying to get the painting skill finished and it is taking a while but the moodlet will help her out.
Both ladies of the house taught Andrew his skills. Mack taught him to use the potty.
After getting another promotion, Brittany went to the Grind to meet some men. She met a nice police officer there and they both learned they had a lot of traits in common. Will this man be her newest spouse?
Brittany asked George Dean if he'd like to go steady. George said yes, and Brittany was excited. Maybe she could do this.
After dating for a few sim days, George proposed to Brittany. She said yes of course, and now the two are planning their wedding. They can't decide whether to have a big one or just a quick one with Lauren, Mack, and Andrew in attendance.
Andrew had his birthday party the day after the proposal. I didn't change his clothes yet or give him hair but I will in the next update.
***I didn't plan on using George at first as I didn't even know him. I just had Brittany meet some men and George was the best one. She just can't say no to those police officers, can she? Anyway, my Sim time is cut down today so I'll have a shorter update tonight.
@bekkasan It's really not nice to borrow the neighbor's pool without asking.
@Springfairy556 I don't have sound, so I didn't watch the video, but I am curious as to which band has music video featuring a sad kitten.
****Good luck, Destiny.
@TinySpaceFox Thank you.
****Craven better not find out you're romancing his ladies.
@JadeGreen A general increase in athletic skill will also help in capturing burglars.
****With regard to parties, I eventually stopped accepting every single invitation. There's no way to attend every party and get high enough grades in classes to pass. As for the tuning, Retuner might have what you're looking for, but I can't say for certain, since I've never really explored its options.
@LunBeauty Every now and then I can catch them before they make it to their destination, but if I have more than a few Sims in the house, it's not always possible and I end up with a lot of unplanned pregnancies.
****Ginger!!
****I must be the only person in the world who can't get those plate recolors to work properly. I can only get mine to show up on bowls and plates from the toy oven. Does the file go in overrides or something?
@king_of_simcity7 Nice scenery shots.
****Nope. Still don't support the Messiah.
****Oohh, yummy.
@Hejix I'm not sure. None of the evil Sims I've had have ever randomly slapped people. Unless they did it when I wasn't watching.
****Something tells me she has a box of souvenirs in her closet.
****I love TSM. The quests can get a bit repetitive, but it's still interesting.
@TadOlson Lucky. I should actually probably take a pair of scissors to my ends, since they're starting to feel like straw.
****Great updates!
@Silverofdreams30 Congrats on the new home.
****Happy birthdays!!
****Nice swimming pics.
@Brandontaylor Congrats on the new baby.
****Yeah, I probably would have let the paparazzo burn.
@Karritz Good luck with your photos.
****Mmm... Omelette...
@thuggishsplicer Is that Archie panel supposed to be that... um... suggestive?
****Great family shots.
****Starry Night is my absolute favorite painting ever, and vanGogh is my favorite artist.
@Computerglitch8 If you have NRaas mods and/or ITF you can have same sex couple reproduce the old-fashioned way.
@Mindsimscreate All Simmers of all iterations are welcome here. Hope you enjoy your TS3 Simming experience.
****Can't wait to see your pics.
@Mikezumi Did you watch anything good?
****Did he actually cook it, or did he summon it?
****Because everyone wants to be voted King/Queen of Prom with their sibling...
****I randomly go cross-eyed sometimes, too.
Friday I was back with the Blacks. Still haven't gotten Iris and Isabelle moved out yet. I did get Alice fixed, and her trait chips seem to be mostly intact. Jocelyn and Jessamyn aged up to toddler. Here's a random pic.
Saturday and Sunday I once again tried to advance on the Moore save. Saturday I encounter an Error Code 12 and lost all the progress I made. Sunday I made a bit more progress by constantly changing my Save numbers, but the game crashed on me. I'm thinking as long as I don't repeat save numbers with that particular save I should be fine. I'll find out next time I play it (going to let it sit for a few days).
It takes a while for them to get the camera to work
When it finally works Hana explains why she doe not want The Messiah to be leader. She explains his view on the islands where she comes from and how they had ended up doing badly after they adopted policies that The Messiah supports
Shelly explains her part about how she feels that The Grey Lady has done a lot for people including making sure that TS5 related threads do not keep getting moved...
They get ready to post online and post the video on a few social networking sites...
Within a short amount of time Warren discovers the video and decides to start trolling all over it
The trolling goes on for hours and hours with the aim of trying to make Hana and Shelly seem wrong
In the end he puts his foot in it. After a heavy debate with someone who just happens to be a better debater than him he calls out the other debater when they accidently made a very slight spelling area. After calling him out Warren makes a spelling mistake of his own and then resorts to petty name calling disqualifying himself from debate
Anyway tomorrow (or today as it has gone past 12am) is a very frightening day for the UK. I cannot say too much on here due to the forum rules but the real life Messiah is really starting to get pushy at the moment and he is ready to pounce so I am nervous at the moment.
@emorrill Since I managed to go back to a back-up save, which let me start saving again without the crashes, I'm assuming that other save file just got glitched somehow, that's all. I'm a lot more careful now of what I download too and I scan everything. I also download only CC free lots and check them with Custard to make sure there isn't any hidden CC, then convert it to be able to put it in the library folder.
I've already tried it out and it doesn't put the pictures out of order too bad and it keeps the pictures in their respected folders instead of jumbling them around like imgur often does.
I hope things go well with your eyes. I think that your eyesight can get worse after a few years of constantly wearing glasses and that's why I think you're supposed to visit the optometrist once a year to get an eye exam and change the lenses if you need to. I should wear my glasses more often, but I really only put them on when I'm going somewhere as I only need them to see far away.
@TinySpaceFox I love me some guys in suits.
I love when sims throw the grumpy face.
I like the red firefighting uniform the best.
A house full of pretty girls. What's a guy to do?
I hope Kyla enjoys living across from two good looking guys.
@Nikkei_Simmer That was such a beautiful wedding and wedding photos! I loved the posing you did!
@bekkasan Hopefully glitches won't force me to abandon it either like with my legacy. I hate having to drop a story because of corruption. Although I've also been more diligent about keeping back-up files around too.
@meerkattime Thanks for the comments.
Violet is a cutie.
She's wearing purple, her favorite color.
Violet's dress is from the Store, but the pattern is custom content.
I like the investigation career.
Yeah, and she's not getting one until the triplets are a lot older and it'll be through adoption. @CravenLestat did such an amazing job! Here's hoping she passes on her hair color and some of her facial features to at least one of her offspring.
@king_of_simcity7 You see that a lot in real life too. One political side does so many things that are considered illegal and no one bats an eyel, but the other side does it just once and the entire media loses their minds and goes on a bashing rant about them. I like how you touched on the fact that there really is a lot of bias. I'm obviously not condoning the illegal activities, but it's easy to see the blatant favoritism.
@Hejix Love the Sims Medieval pictures. I can definitely see Catherine dreaming about such things.
@emorrill That's gorgeous! I also downloaded that house, along with a few other big ones that could be used as Legacy houses and a lot of them look like houses I've seen in real life.
@Silverofdreams30 Nice update! Aurora has such devious looking eyes, but she's still beautiful!
@Vincent_Vengeance Congratulations on the pregnancy! Gardenia is such a cutie! I love that hair too! Do you happen to know where you got it?
@Springfairy556 They're so cute together! It's so sad how he's tied to the manor, but those are consequences he must not be able to break.
@Brandontaylor It's not a show that's suitable for younger audiences. The first four seasons are good, but the fifth through seventh just don't have the substance that the earlier ones did.
@Mikezumi Nice update! I can't wait to see what baby Jay looks like as a child.
And he's adorable, even if a little cross-eyed. In CASt, try playing with the color wheel slider and giving him a slightly darker purple? It might look better.
Those bowling pictures are cute!
Thanks for the comment!
Ah yes, doing your homework at the bowling alley, I remember those times. Actually I don't because my parents would have never allowed it.
Oh my, I wonder what's on those photobooth pictures.
@Mindsimscreate Nice start to your family! You'll get the hang of creating sims soon enough. It took me a few years to get at least a little decent at it.
@Brandontaylor No one said being the 'Ultimate Sim' was easy. But I know she can do it!
@MoonandStars83 I've ended up with a few unplanned pregnancies in my households too.
If you downloaded the Default Replacements, you can only have one of them. It replaces the regular plate, group meal plate, the little plate that kids use when cooking on the kid oven, regular bowl, cooking bowls for human, and pet food (ones used in the cooking animations when you make the pet food.) The cooking bowls have just solid colors (body and rim) and don't have the patterns. If you have more than one of the files in your Mods folder, I don't think they'll work as it's considered a default replacement.
@king_of_simcity7 Warren is a jerk. I want him to get called out more!
Cont'd pg. 3259 @mindsimscreate Good luck with your new family. I hope you enjoy all that TS3 has to offer @JadeGreen Tomb raiding is great fun! Does your sim have a friend to take with? I find that having two sims makes it easier. Good luck with finding Gail a husband. You have a good story idea. I like 'opposites attract' stories @tadolson Good update. It looks like it will be winter soon. @SweetAndSalty Congrats on your sim's new job. I hope your sim's new partner isn't Arlo Bunch @CravenLestat She doesn't need cc she's perfect @LunBeauty I'm not convinced that that having pets and celebrities turned off in the game settings actually stick. I don't have any celebrities in my game but I think that's because I set it with one of the NRaas mods, probably StoryProgression. Converting cc to packages is what I do too, it makes it much easier to delete the stuff you don't like. Yeah I see the difference. I have edited my own graphicsrules file, I can't remember the strengths off the top of my head but I have a normal no HQ file, a HQ file and a HQ file that works in CAS too. You're too right about taking precautions to prevent any kind of hiccups. If the game came out a few years later it would probably be a different story. @emorrill Are you still getting the error message? Hopefully just quitting the program and trying again will fix it. I used to love Geri Halliwell's "It's Raining Men" when I was a kid. I used to dance to it in my bedroom
Thanks! I'm proud of it. I finished it in only a few weeks so I feel like I need an even bigger project now. Maybe if I can find the London Bridge I will buy it as a birthday present to myself
Aw no I'm sorry you're still having eye troubles. Maybe your doctor needs to give you different lenses. I dunno if this helps or not but I find that reading things on a dark grey background helps my eyes. I wish there was a way to change the background of this site so I wasn't looking at the white for so long. If you use Word to write your Sam chapters you can change the theme of it by going to File > Account > Office Theme. Then you can change the page colour in Design > Page Colour. @LunBeauty I loved Jessica in True Blood, I was such an Eric fan as well lol. She's gorgeous, I really like the eye contacts you chose for her and the hair of course. She looks amazing in her leather outerwear. I think Pam would be interesting to turn into a sim @TinySpaceFox I guess video games can really help the firefighters to unwind. I can't comment on their choice of game though... was SimAnimals really the best they had?
Ohh Martin be still my heart
I love your new siggy gif, Martin is such a good sport for taking a water balloon to the face so well
pg. 3260 @TinySpaceFox David looks so grumpy in the first pic, it's hilarious. Maybe he doesn't want to wear red He's so afraid of Lilith he can't even bear to think about her. Well I think red suits him very nicely.
Martin has got some incredible skill of being a lady magnet. Why does the game always make sims wear gloves, it's not even cold weather!
Oh hey there my SS. Lol looks like she wasted no time in finding a guy. She's got pretty good taste, Caleb is a catch! I guess she's got a thing for vampires... which isn't untrue in real life either. I wonder if he will turn her @Shadow_Assassin I hope the band is getting lots of new gigs. I love all the black interior decor. @Nikkei_Simmer Aww finally we get to see their wedding pictures that you have been hinting about. I mean, how many weddings in how many games have these two had? They both look great in their wedding attire and beautiful pictures in front of the Christmas tree. It must be difficult to take wedding photos without a third person there. Congratulations to you and featherbelle on your real life wedding anniversary @bekkasan Thanks! I think there was just a mix up because I had two spare pieces that were very similar to the ones I was missing. I'm glad I was able to find a shop that sold them as it would have been very disappointing not to be able to finish it. The pieces I needed formed part of the roof so it would have been noticeable. You're very good at expressing emotion in your writing, I really feel sad for Dwight. I'm glad I guessed underwater Stonehenge correctly @Silverofdreams30 So now some of the kids are aged up you can start thinking about Ty and Audra becoming grandparents. They look too young though
I love Isla's hair and the water looks cool and refreshing. Alex is a show off lol
Aurora looks very serious here. Why are you using the Q button? Isn't that the button to quit the game @king_of_simcity7 A lot of Australian media is biased when it comes to political reporting too. It's sad when you don't know who is actually telling the truth. Shelly has a good idea. I think The Grey Lady should employ them for all the publicity they're doing. @hejix Awesome update! I think Catherine would be a scary and unstable ruler but it's funny that in her fictional world even the prisoners love her. Sounds like she brainwashed everyone @Springfairy556 Maybe it's near the end of winter and the pond isn't as frozen anymore? I think the game is picky about stuff like that.
If only there was a way to set Edward free from the mansion. I don't think Destiny can win a snow fight against a ghost haha. It's sad that she's all alone again. @emorrill That Utah house looks AH-MA-ZING! I would like to live there
I guess the creator did a really good job because it does resemble the houses on your street. I would have felt weird stopping and taking pics of all the houses. But look at all that pretty snow! I'm sure they are all inside keeping warm @Vincent_Vengeance Maybe Sheryl is complaining about back pain because she's having multiple babies It looks like she's having a good time in the pool. Steve must be a night owl. I often don't want to get out of bed in the mornings too. I like the tiger balloon on Gardenia's birthday table. At least there was no awkwardness with Sheryl and Rosalinde. Steve seems nervous around Destry, I hope he can get used to treating him as a good friend instead of a teacher. Gardenia is a very cute girl. I love her hair in buns and her everyday hair. @mikezumi Jaxon would make a pretty good long jump athlete I think, he looks like such a tall teen even though I know they're all the same height. I would keep your mouth closed Pia while you're throwing sand around lol.
pg. 3261 @mikezumi I like that the game chose his outfit to be overalls again You will need to tell me who he looks like most because I can't work it out. I hope Jared has his own children so they can be set up as future spouses. What's so shocking Paul it's not like you haven't seen it before. I think Josh is promising a time for later. Let's hope he doesn't want another baby lol.
That bowling ball looks too heavy for Jay. Poor Josie, at least her body didn't clip through the floor. I hope Jay and Pia become good friends. Jason looks very distracted during his selfie with Jax. Jax is just trying to look good for Lara. @Mindsimscreate I think your female sim is pretty. I like the shape of her lips and the pattern on her headband. I like the names you chose, Lilac is a nice name for a little girl. Seems like you will have your hands full with 5 sims. @Brandontaylor I don't think I'd like to be the Ultimate Sim. It sounds lonely even though she will be surrounded by family. I see Don. I think there must be invisible pets or like you said the ground is excited for her. Aw sounds like not enough people were at The Grind that night. The police officer is the first man that Brittany has connected with so maybe he's the one. Geez a few days? George must really be in love with her. I'm happy that she's happy. I hope you get the chance to give Andrew some hair @MoonandStars83 Sorry you're getting error code 12 and lost your progress. It's a big pain @king_of_simcity7 Warren has changed, in the old days he would have ditched his views on The Messiah if it meant getting close to Hana and Shelly. I hope tomorrow goes well. At least you don't have DT as leader
@coco My towns don't tend to generate celebrities. I also don't think turning them off in the options sticks either. I think it makes it to where less of them generate. A lot of my hiccups are caused by the game itself and not CC that I put into the game as I always use Dashboard after doing a downloading spree and if anything shows up as corrupt, I pull it. Sometimes, I'll download some clothes from a certain site, often there's an Adult and Teen version of a few outfits that show up as conflicting with one another, but I think this is the case of false confliction since it probably uses similar resources and the scanner is picking up on that. It doesn't mean it's bad for your game.
Eric! I liked him so much better than Bill. I wasn't a Bill hater, but I just found Eric so much more interesting. I also didn't choose contacts for her. I might have a mod that lets vampire sims keep their normal eyes rather than getting the glowy ones. Pam is so sassy and I love her.
@LunBeauty The bias I am reflecting is the BBC. They are obsessed with the real Messiah and cannot wait to get a news story to try and promote him. The bias is now at it's most extreme level.
@coco I don't know how things are in Australia at the moment but in Britain we have the 'B word' to try and deal with. The BBC hate the B word due to the funding they get from the EU but I am in the middle of the argument. A lot of people are obsessed with it.
Also Warren was ditched by both Hana and Shelly and is just waiting for the next one to stalk. As for DT I wasn't sure who you meant until I realised that it was someone who's Sim name would be 'The Orange Man'
@lunbeauty I agree. I think I have a few things from Around The Sims 3 that "conflict" but actually don't
I knew I would love Eric from the first moment I saw him. It doesn't hurt that he's Alexander Skarsgard either
Oh it just looked like different eyes. I suppose I meant to say, I like the eye's you're using @king_of_simcity7 That's sad because I like the BBC. I can't really comment on the 'b' word since I'm not too well informed. But hey I wish my country was as close to Europe as you guys are. I don't want to get into it but Australian politicians are very childish and shady.
I must have forgotten that he was ditched by them. He doesn't seem the type to give up though. Yep that's who I meant. Can't stand him
Congratulations on the pregnancy! Gardenia is such a cutie! I love that hair too! Do you happen to know where you got it?
Thank you so much for everything. I think she took a lot from her parents and will make a beautiful lady just like her mom. Sadly I don't remember where that hairstyle comes from.
Maybe Sheryl is complaining about back pain because she's having multiple babies
Didn't even think of that possibility... Hell no... Just one more child would be really enough. I guess they'll be done with making children after that one or maybe, if they really want to, they'll have their fourth lately when their other children grow up.
It looks like she's having a good time in the pool.
Who wouldn't? I have an absolutely zero passion for pools because I can't swim, but even I wouldn't resist. They have a nice one.
Steve must be a night owl. I often don't want to get out of bed in the mornings too.
Doesn't have that trait, but still looks like one. He's a grumpy sim and they often wake up in a bad mood that only vanishes next day.
I like the tiger balloon on Gardenia's birthday table.
I love them too, there were also llama,fox and freezer bunny ones as well. Got them from the toy-making machine because you can't just buy it, but planning to build a toy store and put them on sale.
Steve seems nervous around Destry, I hope he can get used to treating him as a good friend instead of a teacher.
Hope he'll overcome his shyness, but the chance isn't too big. Destry has seen him getting famous, marrying and having children and he also been to all of his children's birthday parties. Steve still can't get old to just being a friend to his hero.
Gardenia is a very cute girl. I love her hair in buns and her everyday hair.
Thank you so much. I tried to pick something with a flower because in my little story she's been always compared to a beautiful white flower of gardenia by her family and she's very proud of it and tries to show it. And when she grows up, she'll wear a white flower in her hair to match that family thing. She'll be a lot like her mother, a gorgeous woman who knows that she was made to shine and be everyone's favorite flower.
@thuggishsplicer This is old school but I did Archie Betty and Veronica a while back.I still put them in town sometimes but never seen Archie hook up in my games he seems to get with townies.
@Mikezumi
Lol, I think you're right. Jaxon falls on his rear too much to play basketball.
Pia's really getting into that sandbox.
Josh is lucky, he gets some great guitar music while he works on skilling.
Great update!
@Mikezumi You're welcome and thank you. Sometimes I do rush through comments but I try not to.
She sure does. I'm mainly working on skill challenges now and the careers.
Thanks, I think he looks a lot better.
Yeah, she didn't do too well mainly because the skills she had were very few. Now with the new skills though, she should be okay for degree three.
I'll be glad to get the degrees done. I don't like leaving the family while Brittany is at uni
It drove me crazy. All of my sims usually learn the cooking skill even if they don't max it out.
Thank you, it takes a lot of patience for me to stick with the challenge but I'm getting it done, lol
I eventually caved in and put some celebrity gifts in the kitchen. Luckily no one started a fire but it was a more expensive stove.
I'm happy with her grade, I figured it would be an A but I wasn't sure.
Happy birthday, Jay!
He sure had a nice birthday at the bowling alley.
Looks like a fun game. The UFO and cows reminds me of Sims 2 for Nintendo DS.
Awesome update!
She sure is. I know eventually she won't be able to listen to tabcasts when she gets all available skills done.
Lol, the other day I was playing and not paying attention when lightning struck near Brittany's house and I about jumped out of my skin.
I decided to make her over for every town. I'm not too sure on the look I picked out, which I know you haven't seen yet, but it's growing on me a bit.
Homework at the bowling alley. Wouldn't that be distracting, lol?
I guess Jaxon wanted some practice.
Whoops, Josie. Hope you got a strike though!
Jason looks very excited about the photo's
The looks on Jason's face were hilarious!
Nice picture's of the couples and the children.
@Mindsimscreate I'd say you did a pretty good job on them.
Those are nice names, sometimes I have trouble coming up with names as well.
I really liked your first update, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
@MoonandStars83 Thank you.
Lol, I should have. I'm too nice to them, and all they do is irritate me.
I hope you can sort out your save issue.
@king_of_simcity7 You're welcome. Looking forward to reading it
I hope they can persuade some people to join their cause. The Messiah supporters need to be stopped.
I figured someone would troll it. I guess Hana and Shelly will have to do it back.
Lol, Warren made a mistake.
I'm not too aware of what is going on in the UK but I hope it gets sorted out. We've got a government shutdown in the US, but since the forum rules don't allow talking about it, I can't say much about it.
@LunBeauty I think it's sad when a show starts off good but then starts to go downhill. It usually means the writers and creators are running out of ideas.
She sure can. I'm wondering how long it will take me to complete the challenge, so far it's slightly over a month.
@coco Same here. I'd hate to have to keep remarrying and watching my loved ones die all the time.
I've been having that issue a lot. Sometimes I use one of the NRaas mods to see who is there and I reset the ones who need to be.
There were some but it was mainly female sims. I'm not against Brittany having a female spouse but the child requirements stop that.
He definitely is the one, but I have a slight issue which I'll discuss in my next update.
Lol, he was smitten from the start.
I did today. He looks better when he isn't bald.
My small makeover of Andrew. He was squinting his eyes right when I took the picture. At least he has hair again, he lost it when he aged up.
The family ate Andrews birthday cake except for Mack. Mack wouldn't wait and went to the fridge to eat sushi Brittany had made. George got to know Mack better during the party.
That afternoon, George and Brittany said their vows in front of the house.
Mack and Lauren took Andrew out so the newly weds could have some time alone. Brittany and George had their fun then lied in bed to talk.
The adults bobbed for apples while Andrew got his face painted.
Lauren is upgrading the house. Her father, Christopher Steel, had started doing this before he passed away so she decided to take on the these jobs. I'm thinking she may quit her job soon and focus on a profession instead.
Andrew's IF, Jennifer, came out to play. This is a good thing if you remember. His mother's IF, Troy, didn't get the chance to become real but Jennifer will.
Drama in the Dean household. When these two met, George was single. He didn't have a girlfriend and Brittany believed him. They became lovers, went steady, and got engaged. But shortly after their marriage, Brittany learned George had an interest in Ruby Broke. She now is very angry with him. George is upset but he is going to fix this as he loves Brittany.
Brittany: Stay away from my husband, you plum!
Ruby: Do you use toothpaste, 'cause your breath smells like rotten eggs?!
Brittany jumped on Ruby and the two fought. In the end, Brittany won the battle.
***Next update, George will do everything he can to fix this. He knows that Brittany needs another child for the challenge but she is angry and won't get romantic with him. Will Brittany forgive him or is the marriage doomed from the start? Find out in the next episode of... The Ultimate Sim!!!
Survive at All Costs Chapter Twelve - Honeymoon Deferred
Next morning, it was back to the daily grind. No honeymoon for us; we had to keep the simoleons rolling in. River trudged out in the snow to retrieve the mail. Just because we were newly married didn't mean that the bills would stop in celebration of our union. We still had things to do, tasks to accomplish and we had to keep making our life work. River met with Phil again to pass along yet another painting that he'd bought from my wife. Thank goodness for winter tires. River's a good driver so I didn't feel the slightest bit worried about her being out on winter roads. It's the other dim wits on the road that I worry about. After all, you never know exactly what they will do in a given situation. River came home and started another painting. Her canvas creations were impressive and my friend Phil, whose career with the VFD was going really well, was more than enamored of his new acquisition which he promptly hung on his wall. And it was a couple thousand simoleons more that went in the bank thanks to his purchase. River and I were now doing pretty well. I, of course, had things of a more agronomical bent, toiling in the greenhouse and keeping our chickens and cows well-fed. At least it was something that I could do with my hands and it kept me busy. ...and I had to make deliveries to our local Jules Bistro of some fresh produce from the garden. Luckily my Yomoshoto Evasion could negotiate the roads as well, considering that we'd put winters on the vehicle at the beginning of the season. Trust me, they're expensive to exchange tires. I could technically do it myself, but knowing my ineptness with mechanics, I'd probably end up having the thing go off the jack and crush me, or my tires would fall off the axles while doing eighty down Highway Number 1. Of course, the minute I got back, I got lovingly accosted by my wife. Though of course we had to have dinner beforehand. Yeah, being married made that especially fun. Hey...at least we got clean... We didn't have very many animals to deal with; cows and chickens at the most. It kept us in farm-fresh eggs and milk (which we turned to cheese). I find that the cheese sells pretty well down at the local market. Of course, there's always the sim that likes stinky cheese. That's why I've been able to sell the putrid and the well-aged cheeses. Whatever suits their palate; who am I to judge. River continued her painting from earlier and I worked on my writing skill. Once I was finished that I worked on my guitar skill which I was going to need to accomplish my Lifetime Wish which was identical to River's Yes, River and I were grateful to be living in one of the best cities in the world. Of course the prices of home in Vancouver were getting to be outrageous and it was hard to figure out whether or not we would continue to be able to hold this property or end up having to move into the Interior of BC but we figured that we would try to do our best. With the mayoral change in Vancouver, it was something that we would have to consider in the future, but for right now, we were going to hang on and see what happens. We'll do the best that we can and let the chips fall where they may.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
And from my apocalypse story that I have lots of pics still to write from. Yeah, I play ahead on quite a lot of them.
The Way of Life Chapter Twenty-Seven What Lies Above
They said that no one would ever push the button. That it was unthinkable due to the horrors that would be unleashed. In that mindset of hubris, mankind immolated itself at the first available opportunity and we were left to pick up the pieces
It was advantageous that the bunker occupants had plumbots to brave the elements topside. They were the ones able to recon the area and see that there were no intruders. Their metal bodies could stand the radiation better than the humans could, so it was logic to send them out to scout the area. Plus their eye receptors held cameras that would relay the information back to the bunker. It gave the bunker occupants intel that they wouldn't otherwise have so that a plan could be formulated. Their patrol consisted of patrolling the perimeter of the bunker and then making a recon foray into town. The warhead had detonated right over city hall; an airburst at 2600 feet above the main spire of the building. With the warhead only being 850KT yield, it only scorched the building and softened the ground around it so that Sunset Valley City Hall sank into the ground. at a precipitous angle, sealing all exits to the building that any unfortunate survivors would be sealed, still alive in their tomb, waiting to starve to death. It was a somber group of plumbots that headed back to the bunker after their reconnoiter of the area. Dawn's light fanned out over the ruins of what was once a bustling little military town. Sunset Valley was a ruin. With the meters that the plumbots had placed, the bunker occupants knew that the UV radiation levels were going up. The ozone layer had been damaged (for how long they didn't know) and thus more and more UV radiation was getting through the atmosphere. What this meant for The Eight was that they had more of a bunker stay than they realized. Of course the radiation laden clouds of soot that were circling the globe came back around and blotted out the sun which shone palely through the dark ominous layer. There were certain new species of plants that took root in the ground. Namely a vine like object that was topped with a bovine head. They named it a cowplant. But unlike the grazing ungulates of old, these were nightmare-inducing things with sharp, dripping fangs with a taste for meat instead of pasturage and lodged on their tongue, like an anglerfish had a light protrusion over its head, was a lure...a tasty looking delectable cake - a lure of death for if one succumbed to the temptation and made a grab for that cake, they would find themselves digesting slowly within the stomach juices of the cowplant. A rather horrific death to be sure. When the plumbots returned from their recon around the town, they did some adjusting of each other's circuits to make sure that they were in top-notch shape for anything that could happen. Meanwhile down in the lower depths of the bunker, Haruo did his science research and the kids were taken care of. Of course, there were still pockets of survivors here and there. But they had to brave the periodic meteor showers which seemed to coincide on the ruins of Sunset Valley with alarming regularity. Science research was going to be important because that was what would enable the survivors (the Eight) to be able to produce UV resistant foods that would help to feed them all once it was safe to emerge from the bunker to begin life anew topside. There were new radiation resistant life-forms however and it seemed as though everything that the Eight had known had been thrown by the wayside. Though one had to admit that they didn't appear to be all too intelligent considering that one ended up lighting himself on fire, by accident. Yeah, it's probably not too safe to stand out in the radiation like that. You might get a sunburn. Phil worked on the botanical garden in order to maintain the steady supply of food-stuffs and the toddlers got their rest. Everybody would do what they had to in order to survive the nuclear winter, no matter how long it took.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
@bekkasan Anubis has some very pretty clothes. I must remember to install another one I got today.
**I'm glad you enjoyed the paintings. I got the painting mod overhaul and it was even more inspiring.
**BTW, your story did make me clean things up here at home. I didn't do a full cleaning, but I managed to do some things -including break my laundry sink completely.
@Mikezumi I'm glad you liked the gym! I'm really proud of that one, even though I just picked textures from one EA built to another.
**Thanks for the comments. I'm in love with Dillon and Keith again.
**Making Elise and Liam break up that way was really wicked XD I scrapped that
**I'm waiting for the teens to age up and see how the families settle. I might give both gender options for the single ones. I also find it a good opportunity to add fresh genetics to town.
**I may have already mentioned this, but my sis and I have a picture just like this one. It was believed that it would mean we'd have another sibling and a few months later my little brother was born. XD
@TinySpaceFox You got the birthday right! Keith had some sort of bug and wouldn't age up. I sent Dillon to his house before he went to school in order to ensure that. Next time I play the game, they'll be getting married. XD
**Thanks for all the comments on my SV post! I also agree that Becky's children are very cute.
I think Kim's face is similar to Bella Goth's. Her lipe are better, though. I'm very surprised with Sam Sekemoto. I'm seriously having a crush on him.
I like Arlo Bunch and if you move his nose down a little, he looks pretty.
I've seen Pauline and Hank split only once and it was a looooong time ago. Maybe it's the kids.
I'll make sure Ash has "The Zoologist" lifetime wish. I did like that idea! XD
**Your boys looks adorable, I like how Martin looks fancy in that outfit. No doubt the girls were so interested in him.
It's impossible not to feel the hots for a firefighter in uniform. XD David biting his nails. XD
@Mindsimscreate I'm looking forward to your update. First time I played with myself. It was an adult that lived alone. I don't have screenshots nor the sim anymore, but whenever I see the bathroom in Monotone I remember he died alone in there.
@LunBeauty I've just checked out the Edwardian Kitchen set. It's indeed very classy. I like the flowers and server stands. I also like kitchend with Oven ornates.
**I think I read something about a bug in your game! That's horrible.
I hope they've grown up and are tag playing as children already. ^^
**Jessice looks lovely in your photo shoot. All the outfits look pretty and that background is cool!
@TadOlson Great update! I need to set more outwear options for my sims. It seems silly when they're all geared up in spring.
@emorrill Luckily with my vacation I can double check your comments. It's nice to see the Hollands back in the future, even though, you know my favorite story is. ;-)
**Luckily there was no glass breaking! XD
**Would you believe Agnes married Gage Briody? He's a homeless sim in Sunset Valley. Homeless sims there are the worst. I like Sunny Bakshi, though.
**Thanks for your lovely comments on that post. I added the bald hairstyle to many characters in town. I often use the game to work out some personal issues and unfortunately I'll go bald.
Hank and Pauline seem to have a modern relationship. I imagine them polyamorous or something, but unfortunately the game wouldn't allow that. I think breaking them up is the obvious choice. They seem to be the kind of couple that would date several people and end up together as elders.
@Brandontaylor I might take some RL weeks before I another update. I've just started autumn.
@meerkattime That story started at the end of 2016 if I'm not mistaken. In case you want to see my legacy, here's the link. If you want to see the first post about Sunset Valley, click here.
@MoonandStars83 I chose that Archie panel because I needed something suggestive but not revealing. XD
**Van Gogh is one of my favorites. I have a list here.
**How weird, I didn't get the message telling me about your tag.
@CravenLestat WOW Veronica and Betty look amazing!
Which traits did you choose for them? I've seen the first season of Riverdale but I got bored with the second. I also watched Sabrina on Netflix. It's cool, I like Nick, Ambrose and Luke. LOL
@coco@CravenLestat LOL I used to feel the ouline of the figures when I collected Playmobils. XD
I have a nice army of knights, a king, a demon knight and two dwarves.

Okay, I got tired on page 3260! Sorry ^^0 I'll try to check that page out later, but I tried to answer all tags.
I need to walk around.

Jay's favourite colour is purple. I might need to work on the colour of his top a bit later.
He stayed cross-eyed until it was time for cake
Josh asked Paul for a dance while Jay asked Jason for a game of catch
I sent the family to the bowling alley after Jason and Jay had had a brief game of catch
Jason started a game of bowling while Josh ordered a drink.
Paul and Ian went for woohoo the second they walked in the door!
Jay chose to play an arcade game
Jason didn't get to finish his game
Instead of woohooing, the boys went their separate ways. Jason started another game of bowling and Josh danced.
I made Ian and Paul play pool to stop them from woohooing again

@Kesminlix Good looking sim! Have fun with your couple in Riverview
@Karritz That would have been freaky with the two versions of the IF. It's amazing that no matter how long we have played, there are still things that surprise us.
@afai1261 Cute pics of Cormac playing with Saoirse
Saoirse is a cute toddler
Awww more adorable pics of Cormac playing with now toddler Saoirse
Cormac and Morgan are very passionate
Adorable toddler skilling pics
Saoirse looks great as both female and male!
@coco Thanks for the lovely comments
Josh didn't go for risky woohoo - he went straight for try for baby! I could be wrong but I am pretty sure only my family oriented or ambitious sims do that. I have found that party animals are more likely to try for risky but not try for baby.
The population is starting to grow and there are several teens and many children so it won't be long before you see my sims socializing with others on community lots
@Brandontaylor The multi-tab is very useful! Brittany is flying through her skills
Poor sim! I don't have Seasons installed but I remember freaking out everytime there was a thunder storm when I played TS2!
Looking forward to seeing if you decide to give Brittany a makeover
@Springfairy556 Edward is right. It is Halloween and I am sure the guests weren't too worried about Charles. Edward makes a dashing ghost
I've had that happen with my fridge in one save where replacing it fixed the problem but it kept coming back after time. It was only the one save and hasn't happened since.
@emorrill Passionate pics of Emma and Sam!
Bye Lonnie!
Nice makeover for Genevieve
Bye Eunice!
Cute makeover for Astrid
Lovely makeover for Ella
I remember Edelaine! Nice makeover
I remember Carl too! Another nice makeover
Nice job on the Vanderburg roof!
Beautiful shot of Catarina and Rebecca playing in the water
What's good for the goose
You do realize that your butler is a zero slider?
Nice hair for Sebastian!
That is a very intense stare, Becky!
Cute outfit for Dace
Fester is adorable!
I should try ghost hunting one day!
Great makeover for Bruce!
Yep! Time for Dennis to find a home of his own
@LunBeauty Happy birthday Violet! She's a cutie

Pia came a little later
I found Jaxon playing pool by himself upstairs
Josie took a little tumble
Jay and Pia got to know each other
Jason and Josh had a little photobooth fun
Ian joined Jaxon at the foosball table while Paul played pool on his own
I sent the family to the Diner for dinner
Jaxon rolled a wish to take a photo with a friend. Jason wouldn't take his eyes of Josh
The kids played chess to unlock the logic skill gained from the peg box.
I've seen Jaxon checking himself out before but it only occurred to me today that he does it because I gave him the flirty trait on aging up
Paul and Ian watched the stars
Jason and Josh watched the house
The kids had several potions wishes from unlocking the logic skill

@TinySpaceFox Be happy David, you're getting paid better. Think of all that money and how you'll spend it.
He doesn't know what to make of Lilith.
Whoa, interesting work clothes, Stephanie.
Very great update!
@Shadow_Assassin Nice update!
@Silverofdreams30 Thank you!
Fun time at the pool. It was a nice update.
Enjoyed the second update as well!
@Nikkei_Simmer Congratulations, Haruo and River!
I love the wedding pictures. They look good in their wedding clothes.
I love the quote, it's really beautiful.
Cute photo's of you and your wive's simselves!
@bekkasan You're welcome, I'm looking forward to the next update.
@meerkattime I appreciate the comments, I know 10 pages is a lot.
It sure did. It actually went faster than the first degree.
Thank you, I'm happy to say Andrew is growing up to be a good kid.
He will probably soon. Christopher only stays until Brittany remarries.
@king_of_simcity7 Nice update, I'm looking forward to seeing what Hana and Shelly com up with.
@Hejix Nice to see the update with Catherine.
@emorrill Really nice houses!
@Vincent_Vengeance Great update!
@Springfairy556 Great update, looks like they had a fun time.
Lol, Edward's ghost abilities would definitely be useful in a snowball fight.

This is my mother sim. I took forever making her but would like some feedback on how I did since you guys seem to be much more experienced than me and I'm trying to improve my CAS skills.
[img][/img]
This is the father sim. I don't usually make male sims, but didn't want to have to worry about what I call the 'mate finding process'. And then together they have...
[img][/img]
This child, times two though since they're identical twins.
After I got them in game and had moved them into a house, I took a look at their wishes and saw that the mother wanted to join the political career and the father the business career. So I had them join those careers so they could start making some money for the family.
Also, I had a really had a hard time naming these sims, but I ended up calling the mother Rachel, the father Jo, and then naming the girls Lilac and Perri. Kind of odd names, I know, but I wanted them to be very unique and special so yeah.
But then, even though I'm not that familiar with wishes, Jo got a wish wishing for a child with Rachel. shocked
So, me being the nice family simmer I am, I had them try for a baby after a short romantic 'date'....
[img][/img]
So... I thought I heard a lullaby chime, but am not too sure. I secretly hope they're pregnant though, even though they're broke and I am a complete noob to raising kids...
But there's always motherload
shhhh. You heard nothing.
Happy simming!
Ultimate Sim Update
Brittany decided to check her online dating profile. There were a lot of good candidates but some of the traits weren't good. She accepted the requests but she started to wonder, "Can I really keep doing this, finding a new spouse each time one dies until I'm the Ultimate Sim? What kind of life did I sign up for?"
Mom had to work but Lauren wanted to throw a party so her and Mack could meet some friends.
The party guests ate supper with Mack and Brittany after some dancing. I can't remember the names of the townies except for Don Lothario.
Brittany got promoted again! Even the ground is excited about it.
She had a wish to make $500 in tips so I sent her to The Grind to get that taken care of. Sadly, she didn't quite make it to $100.
So I sent her for an early morning protest, which was a success. I'm trying to get the painting skill finished and it is taking a while but the moodlet will help her out.
Both ladies of the house taught Andrew his skills. Mack taught him to use the potty.
After getting another promotion, Brittany went to the Grind to meet some men. She met a nice police officer there and they both learned they had a lot of traits in common. Will this man be her newest spouse?
Brittany asked George Dean if he'd like to go steady. George said yes, and Brittany was excited. Maybe she could do this.
After dating for a few sim days, George proposed to Brittany. She said yes of course, and now the two are planning their wedding. They can't decide whether to have a big one or just a quick one with Lauren, Mack, and Andrew in attendance.
Andrew had his birthday party the day after the proposal. I didn't change his clothes yet or give him hair but I will in the next update.
***I didn't plan on using George at first as I didn't even know him. I just had Brittany meet some men and George was the best one. She just can't say no to those police officers, can she? Anyway, my Sim time is cut down today so I'll have a shorter update tonight.
@Springfairy556 I don't have sound, so I didn't watch the video, but I am curious as to which band has music video featuring a sad kitten.
****Good luck, Destiny.
@TinySpaceFox Thank you.
****Craven better not find out you're romancing his ladies.
@JadeGreen A general increase in athletic skill will also help in capturing burglars.
****With regard to parties, I eventually stopped accepting every single invitation. There's no way to attend every party and get high enough grades in classes to pass. As for the tuning, Retuner might have what you're looking for, but I can't say for certain, since I've never really explored its options.
@LunBeauty Every now and then I can catch them before they make it to their destination, but if I have more than a few Sims in the house, it's not always possible and I end up with a lot of unplanned pregnancies.
****Ginger!!
****I must be the only person in the world who can't get those plate recolors to work properly. I can only get mine to show up on bowls and plates from the toy oven. Does the file go in overrides or something?
@king_of_simcity7 Nice scenery shots.
****Nope. Still don't support the Messiah.
****Oohh, yummy.
@Hejix I'm not sure. None of the evil Sims I've had have ever randomly slapped people. Unless they did it when I wasn't watching.
****Something tells me she has a box of souvenirs in her closet.
****I love TSM. The quests can get a bit repetitive, but it's still interesting.
@TadOlson Lucky. I should actually probably take a pair of scissors to my ends, since they're starting to feel like straw.
****Great updates!
@Silverofdreams30 Congrats on the new home.
****Happy birthdays!!
****Nice swimming pics.
@Brandontaylor Congrats on the new baby.
****Yeah, I probably would have let the paparazzo burn.
@Karritz Good luck with your photos.
****Mmm... Omelette...
@thuggishsplicer Is that Archie panel supposed to be that... um... suggestive?
****Great family shots.
****Starry Night is my absolute favorite painting ever, and vanGogh is my favorite artist.
@Puddinroy Good luck.
@Computerglitch8 If you have NRaas mods and/or ITF you can have same sex couple reproduce the old-fashioned way.
@Mindsimscreate All Simmers of all iterations are welcome here. Hope you enjoy your TS3 Simming experience.
****Can't wait to see your pics.
@Mikezumi Did you watch anything good?
****Did he actually cook it, or did he summon it?
****Because everyone wants to be voted King/Queen of Prom with their sibling...
****I randomly go cross-eyed sometimes, too.
@abe Sounds like a fun save.
@coco Cute miniature.
@CravenLestat I think I need those little Lego balloon animal dogs.
@Shadow_Assassin Congrats on the new residence.
@emorrill That beige/tan brick/stone seems to be popular where you are.
@Vincent_Vengeance Congrats on the pregnancy/birthday.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Friday I was back with the Blacks. Still haven't gotten Iris and Isabelle moved out yet. I did get Alice fixed, and her trait chips seem to be mostly intact. Jocelyn and Jessamyn aged up to toddler. Here's a random pic.
Saturday and Sunday I once again tried to advance on the Moore save. Saturday I encounter an Error Code 12 and lost all the progress I made. Sunday I made a bit more progress by constantly changing my Save numbers, but the game crashed on me. I'm thinking as long as I don't repeat save numbers with that particular save I should be fine. I'll find out next time I play it (going to let it sit for a few days).
Happy Simming, all!!

sad kitten? I don't think there was a sad kitten in my video lol.

Nice aging up scenes from the party
@Brandontaylor Thanks for the comments
@Mindsimscreate Nice update
@MoonandStars83 Thanks for the comments
Hana and Shelly get ready to start their vlog
It takes a while for them to get the camera to work
When it finally works Hana explains why she doe not want The Messiah to be leader. She explains his view on the islands where she comes from and how they had ended up doing badly after they adopted policies that The Messiah supports
Shelly explains her part about how she feels that The Grey Lady has done a lot for people including making sure that TS5 related threads do not keep getting moved...
They get ready to post online and post the video on a few social networking sites...
Within a short amount of time Warren discovers the video and decides to start trolling all over it
The trolling goes on for hours and hours with the aim of trying to make Hana and Shelly seem wrong
In the end he puts his foot in it. After a heavy debate with someone who just happens to be a better debater than him he calls out the other debater when they accidently made a very slight spelling area. After calling him out Warren makes a spelling mistake of his own and then resorts to petty name calling disqualifying himself from debate
Anyway tomorrow (or today as it has gone past 12am) is a very frightening day for the UK. I cannot say too much on here due to the forum rules but the real life Messiah is really starting to get pushy at the moment and he is ready to pounce so I am nervous at the moment.
I've already tried it out and it doesn't put the pictures out of order too bad and it keeps the pictures in their respected folders instead of jumbling them around like imgur often does.
I hope things go well with your eyes. I think that your eyesight can get worse after a few years of constantly wearing glasses and that's why I think you're supposed to visit the optometrist once a year to get an eye exam and change the lenses if you need to. I should wear my glasses more often, but I really only put them on when I'm going somewhere as I only need them to see far away.
@TinySpaceFox I love me some guys in suits.
I love when sims throw the grumpy face.
I like the red firefighting uniform the best.
A house full of pretty girls. What's a guy to do?
I hope Kyla enjoys living across from two good looking guys.
@Shadow_Assassin Nice update and band pictures!
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks for the comment!
@Nikkei_Simmer That was such a beautiful wedding and wedding photos! I loved the posing you did!
@bekkasan Hopefully glitches won't force me to abandon it either like with my legacy. I hate having to drop a story because of corruption. Although I've also been more diligent about keeping back-up files around too.
@Silverofdreams30 Beautiful pool pictures! Nice update!
@meerkattime Thanks for the comments.
Violet is a cutie.
She's wearing purple, her favorite color.
Violet's dress is from the Store, but the pattern is custom content.
I like the investigation career.
Yeah, and she's not getting one until the triplets are a lot older and it'll be through adoption.
@CravenLestat did such an amazing job! Here's hoping she passes on her hair color and some of her facial features to at least one of her offspring.
@king_of_simcity7 You see that a lot in real life too. One political side does so many things that are considered illegal and no one bats an eyel, but the other side does it just once and the entire media loses their minds and goes on a bashing rant about them. I like how you touched on the fact that there really is a lot of bias. I'm obviously not condoning the illegal activities, but it's easy to see the blatant favoritism.
@Hejix Love the Sims Medieval pictures. I can definitely see Catherine dreaming about such things.
@emorrill That's gorgeous! I also downloaded that house, along with a few other big ones that could be used as Legacy houses and a lot of them look like houses I've seen in real life.
@Silverofdreams30 Nice update! Aurora has such devious looking eyes, but she's still beautiful!
@Vincent_Vengeance Congratulations on the pregnancy! Gardenia is such a cutie! I love that hair too! Do you happen to know where you got it?
@Springfairy556 They're so cute together! It's so sad how he's tied to the manor, but those are consequences he must not be able to break.
@Brandontaylor It's not a show that's suitable for younger audiences. The first four seasons are good, but the fifth through seventh just don't have the substance that the earlier ones did.
@Mikezumi Nice update! I can't wait to see what baby Jay looks like as a child.
And he's adorable, even if a little cross-eyed.
Those bowling pictures are cute!
Thanks for the comment!
Ah yes, doing your homework at the bowling alley, I remember those times.
Oh my, I wonder what's on those photobooth pictures.
@Mindsimscreate Nice start to your family! You'll get the hang of creating sims soon enough.
@Brandontaylor No one said being the 'Ultimate Sim' was easy.
@MoonandStars83 I've ended up with a few unplanned pregnancies in my households too.
If you downloaded the Default Replacements, you can only have one of them. It replaces the regular plate, group meal plate, the little plate that kids use when cooking on the kid oven, regular bowl, cooking bowls for human, and pet food (ones used in the cooking animations when you make the pet food.) The cooking bowls have just solid colors (body and rim) and don't have the patterns. If you have more than one of the files in your Mods folder, I don't think they'll work as it's considered a default replacement.
@king_of_simcity7 Warren is a jerk. I want him to get called out more!
@mindsimscreate Good luck with your new family. I hope you enjoy all that TS3 has to offer
@JadeGreen Tomb raiding is great fun! Does your sim have a friend to take with? I find that having two sims makes it easier. Good luck with finding Gail a husband. You have a good story idea. I like 'opposites attract' stories
@tadolson Good update. It looks like it will be winter soon.
@SweetAndSalty Congrats on your sim's new job. I hope your sim's new partner isn't Arlo Bunch
@CravenLestat She doesn't need cc she's perfect
@LunBeauty I'm not convinced that that having pets and celebrities turned off in the game settings actually stick. I don't have any celebrities in my game but I think that's because I set it with one of the NRaas mods, probably StoryProgression. Converting cc to packages is what I do too, it makes it much easier to delete the stuff you don't like. Yeah I see the difference. I have edited my own graphicsrules file, I can't remember the strengths off the top of my head but I have a normal no HQ file, a HQ file and a HQ file that works in CAS too. You're too right about taking precautions to prevent any kind of hiccups. If the game came out a few years later it would probably be a different story.
@emorrill Are you still getting the error message? Hopefully just quitting the program and trying again will fix it. I used to love Geri Halliwell's "It's Raining Men" when I was a kid. I used to dance to it in my bedroom
Thanks! I'm proud of it. I finished it in only a few weeks so I feel like I need an even bigger project now. Maybe if I can find the London Bridge I will buy it as a birthday present to myself
Aw no I'm sorry you're still having eye troubles. Maybe your doctor needs to give you different lenses. I dunno if this helps or not but I find that reading things on a dark grey background helps my eyes. I wish there was a way to change the background of this site so I wasn't looking at the white for so long. If you use Word to write your Sam chapters you can change the theme of it by going to File > Account > Office Theme. Then you can change the page colour in Design > Page Colour.
@LunBeauty I loved Jessica in True Blood, I was such an Eric fan as well lol. She's gorgeous, I really like the eye contacts you chose for her and the hair of course. She looks amazing in her leather outerwear. I think Pam would be interesting to turn into a sim
@TinySpaceFox I guess video games can really help the firefighters to unwind. I can't comment on their choice of game though... was SimAnimals really the best they had?
Ohh Martin be still my heart
I love your new siggy gif, Martin is such a good sport for taking a water balloon to the face so well
pg. 3260
@TinySpaceFox David looks so grumpy in the first pic, it's hilarious. Maybe he doesn't want to wear red
Martin has got some incredible skill of being a lady magnet. Why does the game always make sims wear gloves, it's not even cold weather!
Oh hey there my SS. Lol looks like she wasted no time in finding a guy. She's got pretty good taste, Caleb is a catch! I guess she's got a thing for vampires... which isn't untrue in real life either. I wonder if he will turn her
@Shadow_Assassin I hope the band is getting lots of new gigs. I love all the black interior decor.
@Nikkei_Simmer Aww finally we get to see their wedding pictures that you have been hinting about. I mean, how many weddings in how many games have these two had?
@bekkasan Thanks! I think there was just a mix up because I had two spare pieces that were very similar to the ones I was missing. I'm glad I was able to find a shop that sold them as it would have been very disappointing not to be able to finish it. The pieces I needed formed part of the roof so it would have been noticeable. You're very good at expressing emotion in your writing, I really feel sad for Dwight. I'm glad I guessed underwater Stonehenge correctly
@Silverofdreams30 So now some of the kids are aged up you can start thinking about Ty and Audra becoming grandparents. They look too young though
I love Isla's hair and the water looks cool and refreshing. Alex is a show off lol
Aurora looks very serious here. Why are you using the Q button? Isn't that the button to quit the game
@king_of_simcity7 A lot of Australian media is biased when it comes to political reporting too. It's sad when you don't know who is actually telling the truth. Shelly has a good idea. I think The Grey Lady should employ them for all the publicity they're doing.
@hejix Awesome update! I think Catherine would be a scary and unstable ruler but it's funny that in her fictional world even the prisoners love her. Sounds like she brainwashed everyone
@Springfairy556 Maybe it's near the end of winter and the pond isn't as frozen anymore? I think the game is picky about stuff like that.
If only there was a way to set Edward free from the mansion. I don't think Destiny can win a snow fight against a ghost haha. It's sad that she's all alone again.
@emorrill That Utah house looks AH-MA-ZING! I would like to live there
I guess the creator did a really good job because it does resemble the houses on your street. I would have felt weird stopping and taking pics of all the houses. But look at all that pretty snow! I'm sure they are all inside keeping warm
@Vincent_Vengeance Maybe Sheryl is complaining about back pain because she's having multiple babies
@mikezumi Jaxon would make a pretty good long jump athlete I think, he looks like such a tall teen even though I know they're all the same height. I would keep your mouth closed Pia while you're throwing sand around lol.
pg. 3261
@mikezumi I like that the game chose his outfit to be overalls again
That bowling ball looks too heavy for Jay. Poor Josie, at least her body didn't clip through the floor. I hope Jay and Pia become good friends. Jason looks very distracted during his selfie with Jax. Jax is just trying to look good for Lara.
@Mindsimscreate I think your female sim is pretty. I like the shape of her lips and the pattern on her headband. I like the names you chose, Lilac is a nice name for a little girl. Seems like you will have your hands full with 5 sims.
@Brandontaylor I don't think I'd like to be the Ultimate Sim. It sounds lonely even though she will be surrounded by family. I see Don. I think there must be invisible pets or like you said the ground is excited for her. Aw sounds like not enough people were at The Grind that night. The police officer is the first man that Brittany has connected with so maybe he's the one. Geez a few days? George must really be in love with her. I'm happy that she's happy. I hope you get the chance to give Andrew some hair
@MoonandStars83 Sorry you're getting error code 12 and lost your progress. It's a big pain
@king_of_simcity7 Warren has changed, in the old days he would have ditched his views on The Messiah if it meant getting close to Hana and Shelly. I hope tomorrow goes well. At least you don't have DT as leader
Eric!
@coco I don't know how things are in Australia at the moment but in Britain we have the 'B word' to try and deal with. The BBC hate the B word due to the funding they get from the EU but I am in the middle of the argument. A lot of people are obsessed with it.
Also Warren was ditched by both Hana and Shelly and is just waiting for the next one to stalk. As for DT I wasn't sure who you meant until I realised that it was someone who's Sim name would be 'The Orange Man'
I knew I would love Eric from the first moment I saw him. It doesn't hurt that he's Alexander Skarsgard either
Oh it just looked like different eyes. I suppose I meant to say, I like the eye's you're using
@king_of_simcity7 That's sad because I like the BBC. I can't really comment on the 'b' word since I'm not too well informed. But hey I wish my country was as close to Europe as you guys are. I don't want to get into it but Australian politicians are very childish and shady.
I must have forgotten that he was ditched by them. He doesn't seem the type to give up though. Yep that's who I meant. Can't stand him
Thank you so much for everything. I think she took a lot from her parents and will make a beautiful lady just like her mom. Sadly I don't remember where that hairstyle comes from.
@coco,
Didn't even think of that possibility... Hell no... Just one more child would be really enough. I guess they'll be done with making children after that one or maybe, if they really want to, they'll have their fourth lately when their other children grow up.
Who wouldn't? I have an absolutely zero passion for pools because I can't swim, but even I wouldn't resist. They have a nice one.
Doesn't have that trait, but still looks like one. He's a grumpy sim and they often wake up in a bad mood that only vanishes next day.
I love them too, there were also llama,fox and freezer bunny ones as well. Got them from the toy-making machine because you can't just buy it, but planning to build a toy store and put them on sale.
Hope he'll overcome his shyness, but the chance isn't too big. Destry has seen him getting famous, marrying and having children and he also been to all of his children's birthday parties. Steve still can't get old to just being a friend to his hero.
Thank you so much. I tried to pick something with a flower because in my little story she's been always compared to a beautiful white flower of gardenia by her family and she's very proud of it and tries to show it. And when she grows up, she'll wear a white flower in her hair to match that family thing. She'll be a lot like her mother, a gorgeous woman who knows that she was made to shine and be everyone's favorite flower.
I did not get Warren involved with Hana and Shelly that much as I have other plan for them. I had Shelly being chased by Gareth instead lol
We seem to like the same stuff

@Mikezumi
Lol, I think you're right. Jaxon falls on his rear too much to play basketball.
Pia's really getting into that sandbox.
Josh is lucky, he gets some great guitar music while he works on skilling.
Great update!
Page 3261
@Mikezumi You're welcome and thank you. Sometimes I do rush through comments but I try not to.
She sure does. I'm mainly working on skill challenges now and the careers.
Thanks, I think he looks a lot better.
Yeah, she didn't do too well mainly because the skills she had were very few. Now with the new skills though, she should be okay for degree three.
I'll be glad to get the degrees done. I don't like leaving the family while Brittany is at uni
It drove me crazy. All of my sims usually learn the cooking skill even if they don't max it out.
Thank you, it takes a lot of patience for me to stick with the challenge but I'm getting it done, lol
I eventually caved in and put some celebrity gifts in the kitchen. Luckily no one started a fire but it was a more expensive stove.
I'm happy with her grade, I figured it would be an A but I wasn't sure.
Happy birthday, Jay!
He sure had a nice birthday at the bowling alley.
Looks like a fun game. The UFO and cows reminds me of Sims 2 for Nintendo DS.
Awesome update!
She sure is. I know eventually she won't be able to listen to tabcasts when she gets all available skills done.
Lol, the other day I was playing and not paying attention when lightning struck near Brittany's house and I about jumped out of my skin.
I decided to make her over for every town. I'm not too sure on the look I picked out, which I know you haven't seen yet, but it's growing on me a bit.
Homework at the bowling alley. Wouldn't that be distracting, lol?
I guess Jaxon wanted some practice.
Whoops, Josie. Hope you got a strike though!
Jason looks very excited about the photo's
The looks on Jason's face were hilarious!
Nice picture's of the couples and the children.
@Mindsimscreate I'd say you did a pretty good job on them.
Those are nice names, sometimes I have trouble coming up with names as well.
I really liked your first update, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
@MoonandStars83 Thank you.
Lol, I should have. I'm too nice to them, and all they do is irritate me.
I hope you can sort out your save issue.
@king_of_simcity7 You're welcome. Looking forward to reading it
I hope they can persuade some people to join their cause. The Messiah supporters need to be stopped.
I figured someone would troll it. I guess Hana and Shelly will have to do it back.
Lol, Warren made a mistake.
I'm not too aware of what is going on in the UK but I hope it gets sorted out. We've got a government shutdown in the US, but since the forum rules don't allow talking about it, I can't say much about it.
@LunBeauty I think it's sad when a show starts off good but then starts to go downhill. It usually means the writers and creators are running out of ideas.
She sure can. I'm wondering how long it will take me to complete the challenge, so far it's slightly over a month.
@coco Same here. I'd hate to have to keep remarrying and watching my loved ones die all the time.
I've been having that issue a lot. Sometimes I use one of the NRaas mods to see who is there and I reset the ones who need to be.
There were some but it was mainly female sims. I'm not against Brittany having a female spouse but the child requirements stop that.
He definitely is the one, but I have a slight issue which I'll discuss in my next update.
Lol, he was smitten from the start.
I did today. He looks better when he isn't bald.
@CravenLestat Nice job on the Archie characters!
My small makeover of Andrew. He was squinting his eyes right when I took the picture. At least he has hair again, he lost it when he aged up.
The family ate Andrews birthday cake except for Mack. Mack wouldn't wait and went to the fridge to eat sushi Brittany had made. George got to know Mack better during the party.
That afternoon, George and Brittany said their vows in front of the house.
Mack and Lauren took Andrew out so the newly weds could have some time alone. Brittany and George had their fun then lied in bed to talk.
The adults bobbed for apples while Andrew got his face painted.
Lauren is upgrading the house. Her father, Christopher Steel, had started doing this before he passed away so she decided to take on the these jobs. I'm thinking she may quit her job soon and focus on a profession instead.
Andrew's IF, Jennifer, came out to play. This is a good thing if you remember. His mother's IF, Troy, didn't get the chance to become real but Jennifer will.
Drama in the Dean household. When these two met, George was single. He didn't have a girlfriend and Brittany believed him. They became lovers, went steady, and got engaged. But shortly after their marriage, Brittany learned George had an interest in Ruby Broke. She now is very angry with him. George is upset but he is going to fix this as he loves Brittany.
Brittany: Stay away from my husband, you plum!
Ruby: Do you use toothpaste, 'cause your breath smells like rotten eggs?!
Brittany jumped on Ruby and the two fought. In the end, Brittany won the battle.
***Next update, George will do everything he can to fix this. He knows that Brittany needs another child for the challenge but she is angry and won't get romantic with him. Will Brittany forgive him or is the marriage doomed from the start? Find out in the next episode of... The Ultimate Sim!!!
Chapter Twelve - Honeymoon Deferred
Next morning, it was back to the daily grind. No honeymoon for us; we had to keep the simoleons rolling in. River trudged out in the snow to retrieve the mail. Just because we were newly married didn't mean that the bills would stop in celebration of our union. We still had things to do, tasks to accomplish and we had to keep making our life work.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
@CravenLestat ok you asked for it
https://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/imdragonit
The Way of Life
Chapter Twenty-Seven
What Lies Above
They said that no one would ever push the button. That it was unthinkable due to the horrors that would be unleashed. In that mindset of hubris, mankind immolated itself at the first available opportunity and we were left to pick up the pieces
It was advantageous that the bunker occupants had plumbots to brave the elements topside. They were the ones able to recon the area and see that there were no intruders. Their metal bodies could stand the radiation better than the humans could, so it was logic to send them out to scout the area. Plus their eye receptors held cameras that would relay the information back to the bunker. It gave the bunker occupants intel that they wouldn't otherwise have so that a plan could be formulated.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
**I'm glad you enjoyed the paintings. I got the painting mod overhaul and it was even more inspiring.
**BTW, your story did make me clean things up here at home. I didn't do a full cleaning, but I managed to do some things -including break my laundry sink completely.
@Mikezumi I'm glad you liked the gym! I'm really proud of that one, even though I just picked textures from one EA built to another.
**Thanks for the comments. I'm in love with Dillon and Keith again.
**Making Elise and Liam break up that way was really wicked XD I scrapped that
**I'm waiting for the teens to age up and see how the families settle. I might give both gender options for the single ones. I also find it a good opportunity to add fresh genetics to town.
**I may have already mentioned this, but my sis and I have a picture just like this one. It was believed that it would mean we'd have another sibling and a few months later my little brother was born. XD
@TinySpaceFox You got the birthday right! Keith had some sort of bug and wouldn't age up. I sent Dillon to his house before he went to school in order to ensure that. Next time I play the game, they'll be getting married. XD
**Thanks for all the comments on my SV post!
I think Kim's face is similar to Bella Goth's. Her lipe are better, though. I'm very surprised with Sam Sekemoto. I'm seriously having a crush on him.
I like Arlo Bunch and if you move his nose down a little, he looks pretty.
I've seen Pauline and Hank split only once and it was a looooong time ago. Maybe it's the kids.
I'll make sure Ash has "The Zoologist" lifetime wish. I did like that idea! XD
**Your boys looks adorable, I like how Martin looks fancy in that outfit. No doubt the girls were so interested in him.
It's impossible not to feel the hots for a firefighter in uniform. XD David biting his nails. XD
@Mindsimscreate I'm looking forward to your update. First time I played with myself. It was an adult that lived alone. I don't have screenshots nor the sim anymore, but whenever I see the bathroom in Monotone I remember he died alone in there.
@LunBeauty I've just checked out the Edwardian Kitchen set. It's indeed very classy. I like the flowers and server stands. I also like kitchend with Oven ornates.
**I think I read something about a bug in your game! That's horrible.
I hope they've grown up and are tag playing as children already. ^^
**Jessice looks lovely in your photo shoot. All the outfits look pretty and that background is cool!
@TadOlson Great update! I need to set more outwear options for my sims. It seems silly when they're all geared up in spring.
@emorrill Luckily with my vacation I can double check your comments. It's nice to see the Hollands back in the future, even though, you know my favorite story is. ;-)
**Luckily there was no glass breaking! XD
**Would you believe Agnes married Gage Briody? He's a homeless sim in Sunset Valley. Homeless sims there are the worst. I like Sunny Bakshi, though.
**Thanks for your lovely comments on that post. I added the bald hairstyle to many characters in town. I often use the game to work out some personal issues and unfortunately I'll go bald.
Hank and Pauline seem to have a modern relationship. I imagine them polyamorous or something, but unfortunately the game wouldn't allow that. I think breaking them up is the obvious choice. They seem to be the kind of couple that would date several people and end up together as elders.
@Brandontaylor I might take some RL weeks before I another update. I've just started autumn.
@Nikkei_Simmer Congrats on your wedding!
@meerkattime That story started at the end of 2016 if I'm not mistaken. In case you want to see my legacy, here's the link. If you want to see the first post about Sunset Valley, click here.
@king_of_simcity7 Start a vlog? That sounds exciting.
@MoonandStars83 I chose that Archie panel because I needed something suggestive but not revealing. XD
**Van Gogh is one of my favorites. I have a list here.
**How weird, I didn't get the message telling me about your tag.
@CravenLestat WOW Veronica and Betty look amazing!
Which traits did you choose for them? I've seen the first season of Riverdale but I got bored with the second. I also watched Sabrina on Netflix. It's cool, I like Nick, Ambrose and Luke. LOL
@coco @CravenLestat LOL I used to feel the ouline of the figures when I collected Playmobils. XD
I have a nice army of knights, a king, a demon knight and two dwarves.

Okay, I got tired on page 3260! Sorry ^^0 I'll try to check that page out later, but I tried to answer all tags.
I need to walk around.
