@sara4562 you dug up the original Gifting War that made the TS3 community close. Of course, it got so big, we broke the thread and had to start a second one.
I do miss all the stories that went with the contests. Does anyone remember the cat lady one? That was hilarious! Was that one of yours @smashbridges20? Now, I'll have to go look for it!
oh my gosh was that one fun!! I recall a Sim being saved from Death by her cats! hahhaa!!
I remember the bikers club, too. lots of good memories in Sims 3 land.
3. A sim FS created i couldnt find any besides the one simlibby and sara found because bgatewayb has one sim in there studio and his blog doesnt work anymore
6. Name someone else's gift-giving thread in which FS participated ladyemillye's thank you thread
i) ladyemillye and computertech82
ii) what was the gift they didnt say but whatever it was that was quite generous of bgatewayb to gift them before his birth day
@seaben, I already found it a while back. When I searched for 'seaben' in the Sims store I got several hits. So I looked through one of your topics, I think it was the shell challenge thread (which I knew about by chance), where you luckily mentioned your Sims store name so I knew for sure I had selected the 'right' seaben. So for others who might want to gift you, it can be handy because your name here and in the store are not completely the same. You can also put a link in your signature (or your entries as you mention).
I'm not completely sure how to get a signature and my name is different because I used my origin name for the sims 3 but didn't add the 06 to my forum name
Edit I found out how to make signature so I will set one up today

well done! Do you know how to make hyperlinks in BBC? is BBC allowed in signatures? There's also tinyrul which can shorten signatures, could help. The store is being wonky. I'm still trying to send a gift a day later...

What exactly are hyper links like when you change a link into another word like if you want to change a download link for a build to say download like this whatyouwanttocallyour link with out the spaces and I don't think you BBC in signatures because I tried to change a name of a link when setting up my signature and it said I had to many letters

5. According to this message DippyDesigns did some recolors. Upon looking further in that thread the recoloring was done in Cabin over water.
This picture shows the rugs and couches are recolored.
I'm going to put below in a spoiler, in case other contestants stumble upon it like I did and want to use it for their entry. I already gave a entry only I couldn't resist to show this one as well, maybe because the other day I was playing around with the set myself.
She also gifted you ErnasaT as I stumbled upon your thank you thread, although I do not know what. At first I thought it was the Boardwalk. The other day I was playing around with the roller-coaster. Now I'm not sure anymore. You write "Fifi .... Thank you so much for the Boardwalk. How did you know I love rollercoasters?" Is Fifi a name you use for somebody or something endearing you would say when, for example, gifted? I did find a Fifi but she has posted only two messages (probably in 2016, your topic is from 2013) so I can't imagine you reference her. If it wasn't the Boardwalk, then maybe it was the Russian Set. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/11597139/#Comment_11597139
It's OK @ErnesaT, from where I'm sitting apologies are not needed. It's your contest, you can do whatever you want, right. I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I had a marvelous weekend. I spent Sunday with my family and my two year old niece. She can talk a little bit. She recently has started saying my name and it just melts you.
I'm not completely sure how to get a signature and my name is different because I used my origin name for the sims 3 but didn't add the 06 to my forum name

I'll give you 500 points to make me a new siggy.
Really what would you like it to look like ?
What I currently have is nice. Get imaginative. Once upon a time, I was a working pastry chef. I still do it occasionally. So any really nice looking cake ..... It's how Sweet Tee got her name.
