    Hi ArretStrife, I know...I know I'm not your buddy but I'm gifting you on behalf of your buddy,SjappielovePaul (hopefully she don't mind me revealing her to you, if so sorry :blush: ) as some things were sprung on her and she wasn't sure if she'd get something done in time so asked Tanu and I for help...I only had to read your letter once, for my head became full of ideas for you. I know I should probably wait for your buddy to annouce herself but I'm having a desktop issue were all my sims stuff is and before I did anything I wanted to make sure you had your gifts.

    In your letter you made mentioned of wanting some sims and lots based on Sims 1...Now re-creating sims and lots excatly like Sims 1 is a bit diffcult but how about sims and lots from Sims 1 with a Sims 3 twist? Perfect right? I hope so :D ...

    I present your first gift...

    Apothacarey Todd the III -Todd's family have been Apothacarey's for three generations ever since his grandfather Apothacarey Todd started his small business in Magic Town. Now every witch an wizard flock to the family for indigrendients to make that perfect potion. It was no surprise to the family when Todd's father, Todd the II, married a witch. Todd the III is now the last of his family and growing old by the day will he find that special someone and start a family before his time is up?

    If you played Sims 1 Apothacarey Todd might be familiar as he was always found in Magic Town with his wagon of goods for your magic needs. I decided since I couldn't make an excat replica why not make a descendant based on the info I could find :D !

      Gift 2 is another Sim and she might also seem familiar, She was also found amongest the Magic Town NPC's within Sims 1 and had her own wares for magical needs.

      Vicki Vampress -When Vicki claimed her indenpendance from her family she fled her childhome with nothing save a few simoleon's. After getting with a few men and seeing how they'll spoil her just cause they like her Vicki now picks the men she dates very carefully. They just can't resist her charm and the gift of immortatilly that she has.

      Gift 3 is another sim as I just had alot of fun making descandants of Sims 1 sims..The last of the Sims I made is...

      Faeire Queen Mara - Mara was named after her grandma who was a beloved queen by not only faeires but also humans. Mara is now conflicted about her duties as she's not sure she can live up to her grandmother and the fact that the people no longer trust the family because her mother ran away from her duties to be with the one she loved. will Mara be a dutiful queen like her grandmother or run away from the duties like her mother?

      Another NPC sim found within Magic Town, she was actually the first fairy in a Sim game even though she wasn't playable she had her own cart of flowers and things that sims could use for their magical needs as well.

      I hope you enjoy these 3 sims in your game and they bring you lots of interesting gameplay...If they have Store content you don't own on them please let me know so it can be gifted :D

      Gift 4 is the first of two lots I created now this first lot isn't really a Sims 1 re-creation but the idea sprung from a Sims 1 item which was the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 wagon Apothacarey Todd had to sell his goods from...I present...

      For Your Magical Needs - This caravan belongs to a traveling merchant who has everything you could desire for your magical needs...looking for the perfect wand he has it, looking for a spellbook? he has it, Need toad eyes for a potion? he has it...So stop by today for all your magical supplies...Shop no longer in business but make it your home today!

      The lot is set to be residental but if you'd wanted you could change it to a hangout it is by no means a store so you won't need savvy seller unless you chose to change it to be a functional store :) ...Again if any Store content was use that you don't own please let me know :D

      Hi CM,

      I want to thank you for these great gifts! I couldn't have done it any better :)

      @ArretStrife I was very excited when I read your letter and then all of a sudden I had to move to a new place! I had a couple of moments I thought I was going to make it to create something gorgeous for you, but unfortunately I haven't finished anything :( I really am very sorry, but so glad I knew it quite early so I could tell CM and Tanu in time. I'm so glad you still get awesome gifts now eventhough I failed!
      Don't forget to take care of yourself every now and then in this big chaotic world!

      @cmbaker16 I love the sims! They manage to have the feel of the first sims, while still fitting into 3 very well.
      The two builds are amazing as well. You did a great job at creating something that fit in the theme.
      And thank you so much for the store content to go along with the builds!
      I'm not on my computer right now, but as soon as I get a chance, I'll download the creations and head in game.

      @SjappielovePaul It's okay, life just gets crazy sometimes, and things come up we couldn't see coming. I'd still like to thank you!

      Ok, I'm loving this walk down memory lane! Makin' Magic was by far my favorite part of the entire sims 1 series. (and I was quite disappointed in the "magic" expansion we got in S2, after the awesomeness of Makin' Magic!)

      @SjappielovePaul It was my pleasure and don't worry things happen when we least expect it, Hope you are enjoying your new place :)

      @ArretStrife Thank you very much it was fun looking back at pics on sims 1 and finding out info on the NPC sims and seeing the lots from magic town again it was extermely fun and challenging to make the Sims and lots to have a Sims 1 theme but fit in with Sims 3 :) It was my pleasure to send the store content :)

      @Bookworm742 I'm glad you had fun going down memory lane :D

      @cmbaker16 I hate having to say this, since you've already done so much, but yes, I don't have all the store content needed. I don't have the Understated hair for Mara, and I only have three of the items for For Your Magical Needs (the three that I do have being MonoModerne Toilet, Hydrocombo Sink, and the counter).
