I rarely make New Year Resolutions because I know that I rarely keep them.
However for TS3 I thought a few resolutions would not hurt and would perhaps help keep my game running smoothly. I invite you all to add your own
Remembering to save and rename each game rather than just save and quit.
Remembering to backup regularly, in my case to an external hard drive.
Saving a copy of each sim as I create them and removing earlier versions from the saves bin.
Clearing out my customisable content regularly and only saving what I will definitely use again. So many wallpapers !
To have fun. If the game or the building project has become a chore why continue with it ? Who knows a fresh start might bring something much better that makes you want to play for hours without noticing the time
I no longer use Origin or My Page. You can find me on YouTube or Twitter as Bettyboop711000. You are welcome to contact me as I explore options for a PC sandbox life simulation game.

2) And, for that matter, get to generation 2 of my current family succesfully
3) Don't.make.a.heavily.scened.story.you.won't.finish.again.
4) Have fun in the game - even when I don't manage to do the previous things because of it.
5) Maybe start using a little less custom content again.
Ultimate cc-list
My top 5
1)Make it into the next generation in my legacy challenge in Deery Meadows.
2)Get Logan settled and start getting the reisdents there into later generations.
3)Get to the second or third generation in my 100 baby challenge in Storybrook County.
4)Keep using the Mods and CC that enhances my game and use awsomemod to keep school routing from becoming a nightmare in larger worlds by having automated assignment disabled.
Sounds like you are a lot more organised than I am. Good Luck getting it all completed

I don't use third party cc but can imagine it will difficult to reduce your collection. Some of it is absolutely gorgeous particularly the hair.

2) Complete a game where I am not as controlling of a perfectionist.
1) Complete my remodel of Riverview
2) Try to loosen up the reigns a little bit. Let my sims do the stupid things they will end up doing.
3) Focus more on single play. Not everybody needs a family ASAP.
It's a good resolution I make my sims grow vegetables and go out gathering. Really helps in the early stages of a legacy when simoleons are tight.

Not sad I have been working on my CAW project for well over a year. Good Luck and I look forward to seeing the results in the World Builders section as I am always interested in what others do with CAW

Sounds like two tough challenges. I don't think I could manage a game without my sim finding a magic lamp Hope it all works out for you

1) To actually complete both of my pet-challenges. I'm playing a 50 Foals challenge and I'm determined to finish it.
2) To make it to at least generation 4 of my family before my challenge ends.
3) Remember to SAVE SAVE SAVE!!
4) Enjoy the game, take delight in the little surprises your Sims throw at you and roll with it!
5) Ease my way back into CC a very little at a time. Still CC shy after my last pc crashed to BSOD...
6) Remember to Gift back all those who send me gifts in game
To move forward with my main family try to get to *at least* the next generation.
Try to work out if I can make CAW work *properly* with steam so I can try to tackle a world again (one of my resolutions last year was to make a world... and I've put a lot of time into CAW, it's not a lack of effort. Just moving to steam messing things up. But I desperately want this resolution to work out this year)
Clean up my CC because wow do I have so much that I never use and my game is kinda cranky lately... probably related.
Back the stupid thing up way more often. I always say "I haven't done that much in months... it's fine" then I lose a save somehow "hmm wow I'd done more than I thought" or "oh.... wow... this backup is waaayyyyyyy older than I thought."
Would love to see the remodel when it's finished

Never played a pet challenge. Best of luck with it sorry to hear about CC, I understand that Delphi's CUSTARD helps detect bad CC. Not sure if it is still available. Perhaps someone else knows ?

You never know perhaps this time it will all work out

I have one backup folder which will include The Sims, music, word documents and videos
My only good resolution for TS3 is to add another great year of enjoying the game! And maybe to be a bit more daring where CC and mods are concerned...
Get a new PC so I can start using mods and cc.
Learn how to take and post pictures to make you guys suffer through resolution one.
So my new years resolutions are:
Fix Sims 3
Start a new generation play with no cheats
Choose different traits and different career path to my usual that I gravitate to
Good Luck fixing your game
