    @AdamsEve1231 You've inspired me! I think once I get Realm of Magic I'll be creating a Bachelor/ette Challenge of my own... with a "spellbinding" twist...

    @Xantheanmar aww... thanks. And cool. Actually, I was thinking ahead, as I'm having so much fun with this type of story, to doing another season in a different setting.

    Not sure I'll do a season in the new world yet, but I'm considering an exclusive supernaturals bachelor/bachelorette contest in season 2.

    I'd love to see yours. I'd be happy to submit a Sim too. :)

    On that subject, I'm super excited about Realm of Magic. It looks amazing!

    Yes, you've inspired me as well. I'm going to start a Bachelor challenge with my Simself and then the winner will start a legacy with him! :D

    That's a cool idea. :)

    I'll share a little bit about it in my Party At My Place short story. ;)

    lizzielilyyyy I really like City Living, but everyone is right... Seasons really does change gameplay. Holidays and fall colors and rain was enough to draw me in. I just purchased Get Famous but haven't really played yet. I love the festivals and food stalls of City Living and the look of San Myshuno, the diversity of characters, and the beautiful park.

    @AdamsEve1231 One of the best parts of Get Famous are the clothes. *happy squee*

    I use the cool leather jacket and those bling shoes are so many guy Sims.

    Good to know. :) Thanks. I hope to play tonight.

    @AdamsEve1231 "Indie Jones"? Really? :wink:

    While I'm thinking about it (and while I've realized that this might actually get me a few answers), I'm considering getting my first (well. Technically second, since I had to buy Late Night with the base game because starter pack!) Expansion Pack for the Sims 3. (Yes, I own the Sims 3, I just haven't played with it much but have recently been getting back into it.) I'm trying to decide between Generations, Into the Future, University Life, and Supernatural. (The ones I don't get will go on my "wish list", so I'll get them eventually... hopefully.) What do you guys think?

    I don't know much about Sims 3 yet because I only got it fairly recently. And I don't have much in it yet. I got the .. expansions? When they were on sale for only a couple dollars. But haven't had a chance to play them yet.

    University life was fun though, I did get to play that one a little bit.

    I think you should get Supernatural, because you get so many new occults and lots of gameplay. Generations is great if you're a family player, though a lot of things happen in rabbit holes, like proms and graduation ceremonies. University Life is fun, but is only worth it if you have Sims who want to go to college (I recommend using it with legacy families - you can also meet a lot of interesting Sims who can become legacy spouses in the University world). Into the Future is worth it if you're really into sci-fi and high-tech, futuristic items - you can meet your descendants and the choices you make now has an impact on the future of Oasis Landing and your descendants - can turn out okay, really good or really bad. So, the last three packs I mentioned are great for family/legacy gameplay (in my opinion).

    @Pinmat135 Everyone has given great suggestions. It’s hard for me to pick just one Sims 3 pack cause I enjoyed them all. So my advice might be to take a look at what occult comes with the pack. For example, I liked generations a lot but I despised the imaginary friends. They creeped me out so much. I’ve got horror stories of them...

    I’ve been doing pretty much daily updates on my legacy lately cause I’ve been playing the family so much. It seems impossible that I’m at part 23 when I just started posting on August 23rd, but I do have the tendency to post multiple posts in a day if I feel like it. That and my posts tend to be shorter. I try to keep it under 15 pictures per update.

    So if anyone is interested in binge reading a goofy legacy with brightly colored sims... check it out.

    Today’s update... 1.23

    I already have updates scheduled for tomorrow and Friday, so be excited... I guess?

    i got city living well after noel and lauren died. so they had never seen apartments or any features of city living noel was in a club one night and had to "go" he used the talking toilet which he had been sitting on when he realized it talked he finished what he was doing stood up and peed just cause he was fascinated by it.

    i love that story cause most of the benders story is about being naked this one is about advances in technology since death.

    Haha. The people who submitted Sims named the characters.

    @Pinmat135 I love TS3! Uni Life is so fun. I love the classes, dorm living, bonfires, and coffee houses. Supernatural adds so many new types of Sims to play. I really enjoy fairies and werewolves. I've played a lot with vampires too. And I know some people complain about it being small, but I really enjoy Moonlight Falls. It's a beautiful forest world. I've played the least with Into the Future. I don't know if it's necessary. Generations adds fun options for teens, parties, and treehouses.

    okay its 7 hours later and the pic of alex still wont show up. if i was a newborn with 5 brothers and a sister i probably wouldn't want to be bothered either. if alex is causing me this much trouble i'm in for a intresting ride. i haven't wrote anything about ayden and alana yet.

    Dropping another chapter for everyone, 1.24

    I bought the Moschino pack and I love it. Weird clothing and gorgeous furniture/build stuff. So if you're on the fence... do it. It's only ten bucks and you get amazing loft windows, cool stuff to hang on the walls and this outfit...
    batch5_075.jpg
    It's perfect for Aiden... it may or may not be perfect for your Sims too.

    but i'm not one of the people that say this pack is horrible i still like it.

    @Not_Humanoid My advice is to have fun playing the game and set challenges for yourself. Sometimes playing a legacy becomes tiresome if all you’re worried about is taking screenshots. Sit back and enjoy the randomness that can occur during gameplay. Follow whims and see where that goes. Set challenges for your family to meet. You don’t have to use specific challenge rules, but working to meet goals every generation keeps interest up.
