@lanlyn The alien toddler is adorable. That is how my legacy sim had his first child and he hired his future wife to be the nanny. I know the pollinator was the mother in that case, and she did come to visit and would stand outside the locked gate and stomp her feet. He was abducted many times as he was a scientist and after the third pregnancy I started using Debug reset to stop the abductions before they happened. Three pregnancies and 4 alien babies was more than enough. I don't have seasons in game right now, so it has not been a problem in my current saves.
Oldest child, she was a teenager when I had to stop playing the save. This was my first alien snowman! I have names in a notebook somewhere, but, I can't remember them right now. Stupid memory!
The second alien child with one of her half sisters.
Pregnant with the last alien babies. He was huge by the time they were born.
Rocking one of the twins. He looks shell shocked and exhausted in this picture. Yes, I had just started using some mods and was fiddling with settings. They game kept trying to send them back to the home planet as my household was overstuffed at this point. I think I used debug to work around that also. His wife was pregnant at the same time and had triplets a few days later. No wonder the game lagged to a standstill!
@lanlyn Poor Gran having to do the harvesting. Good for her discipline though.
lol, it looks like the dragon is exercising!
Dag, he toned up nicely!
Cute pictures of Charlie and Mayra playing.
Love her new outfit and Charlie is just adorable playing in the mirror.
Cute pics of Don and his alien child.
Looks like the gardeners just wanted a day off!
lol at Laddie chasing the mailman off.
@lanlyn I should have said before that I have two monitors which makes it easy to read and comment at the same time. That's one big garden that Charlie and Mayra have! No wonder they need help with it. See, I never delved into aliens in TS2 either so there's so much I'm missing out on. That's pretty interesting that they were half-human, I always thought they were plain old aliens like in TS3.
I opened up my Clarissa save to see her and Clark arriving at the park for a date. There's something weird about his work hours because he immediately left and couldn't be contacted for 15 hours . I saw Lola Lancaster there and thought I would give her a new look.
Clarissa went through the haunted house and got cursed by a witch
It had started to rain so I took her to the library and skilled her cooking up to level 3.
Sorry for these really dark images. Clarissa was having a bit of fun at the wishing well when a frog suddenly hopped out.
There's no choice but to give that frog a big wet kiss
The frog didn't look too happy and hopped right back into the well again.
But when she wished for wealth it gave her a Tiberium gem! After cutting it, she went home and planted it.
I let her carve another pumpkin. This time it's an evil one.
Since Clark is restricted by his work hours, Clarissa has no choice but to visit him. He was pumping some weights when she found him. I gave him some new outfits, this one I had fun adding some flames to his sleeves - it's so him.
Clarissa is crazy for him but does he feel the same way? Maybe he regrets what happened...
No, these are the eyes of a boy in love
Say cheese!
I sent Clarissa to the inventing table and she made her first widget, the drinking llama.
Back at home, the Tiberium spire got bigger which means that the value of it went sky high. Clarissa now had §47,000 to her name
Goodbye little shack and hello fancy new house. I'm no 'charlottesmom' at building but I thought it was cute.
This room is a bit sparse but will be for hobbies. Oops just noticed that wall doesn't match up with the rest
That's about all that happened today. She also went to a party and made some more friends. My girl is living a happy life right now
Hello everyone. I'm back home from my travel to Moscow, ready to share some screenshots. But now that won't be a Kramer update, because that would be my other family, they live in Bridgeport. Hope you like them.
They are kind of alike with Steve and Sheryl, but yet they seem to be living in different parallel worlds.
This sim has been based on me. His name is Vincent (just like me), he's a musician too.
He's the opposite of Steve - not successful, not loved and needed by everyone, not respected and not rich. At the same time he's friendly enough, caring, loving, emotional and he does love parties, what's not about Steve. Vince is not that ignorant, his loved ones make a big part of his life.
Vince's girlfriend, Shellie, she's a "Steve" for this save, because I play opposites again, but the guy is now a friendly person and the girl is serious. Shellie wants to be a doctor. She takes care of Vince, because he's too childish. She wants him to become more serious too and behave like adult.
But she has to try better, I'm not sure she will ever fix his behavior. Vince is a good caring person anyway, but he's a forever teenager.
One of the things that Haruo loved doing was to play the violin. Whether it was reels or violin concerti, he was always yanking out the violin and playing it, most often in the most inopportune locations, such as right in front of the house front door. Y'know, Haruo, other sims have to go to work. With so many sims in the household, laundry was a chore that took several sim-hours to complete. Poor River had to go from room to room and gather up all the laundry hampers full of clothing and dump them in the washer...then once the wash-cycle finished up, she ended up having to put them in the dryer. It was a repetitive process. River knew that her husband cooked well...and the meals were delicious. And every so often he would change it up with a new dish and always, there were left-overs. ...and Brianna was getting unwanted date calls from a guy 40 years her senior who had managed to see her working at the school. Isn't this what is known as harassment? Greta and Elsa had a good conversation at the breakfast table one morning regarding Elsa's plans after Greta got married. Elsa was independent and wanted to move herself out so that Braden and Greta had privacy. Of course the whole family would come together if they decided that moving to a different community (world) was a viable option. It was the way of life. Once a child has reached a certain age and has gotten married, they make their own way in life and well, the parents have to let go. Masatoshi had his own plans about moving out of the family fold, but he would discuss that with Caitlin; he had too many things to think about and that would just make his meal unpalatable if he concentrated on it when he was eating. River enjoyed a good rousing round of chess by herself as she raised her logic level. And Braden, Haruo and Brianna engaged each other in a game of pool. As always there were lots of things to do. Aiden ended up in the flower garden where he talked to Alanna about things that were on his mind.
Aidan: "Look Alanna, I know that we've known each other for a long time..."
Alanna: "Yeah, we have...you're like a brother to me...Aidan."
Aidan: "I don't know how to make this easy, but I always found you to be really attractive..."
Alanna: "I don't think that's a great idea...Aidan...we're related. And in any case. As nice as you are, I'm just not that into you. You're a family member...and not someone that I see as a romantic interest."
Aidan: (silent, heart crushed). ...and that's the way romance goes. When she says that she's she's not that into you...., guys, she's NOT INTO YOU. Don't press the matter. Aidan would be crushed for a while, but well, he's young, he'll find the right girl for him... eventually.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
@Vincent_Vengeance Vince and Sheryl are lovely sims. Is Vince your simself?
@Nikkei_Simmer Poor Aidan! He'll find someone special someday.
@bekkasan The alien kids are lovely and the father looks devoted.
Well guys my laptop (the one I use to play Sims 3 on) is now in the shop. I accidentally broke the touch screen on it. I paid $59 to ship it lol. It better be worth it!
@tajanakamen It really was! Usually don't have bachelorette parties but this one lasted for 10+ hours. It was wild! Thanks for your feedback!
@Mikezumi Thank you! They're a cute couple. I forgot how lovely the romantic animations in this game could be. Do Eggs Machiavellian take watermelons? Never knew that. Congrats to Euan & you for completing his LTW! & I get annoyed when unfashionable NPCs show up as well... Have to take them into stylist immediately and fix them up LOL. You did well with Jamie! Would love to see what you'd do now, since your style is different.
@bekkasan It was very fun! Thank you for your feedback. And that alien snowman, never seen that before in the game. It's pretty cool!
@Achoo89 Haha! It's true. I know I laughed pretty hard (well, internal laughter) when I saw that guy climb onto the counter. Hysterical. Hope you're having a better day today love.
@lanlyn Thank you! To be honest it was easier than expected - the only issue is that my household never had money during development because it all went to the resort Love your Dragon Valley sims! You're pulling off that town awesomely - the little ghost gnomes are adorable, and so is Laddie. Also, excellent Stalker photos. Love Charlie's onesie haha. And well... The alien ordeal was unexpected.
@Nikkei_Simmer Right? Haha my sims went on a honeymoon to Shang Simla, so I know exactly what you're talking about, the devs not coming up with more accurate Chinese names. While there, I did find a sim with an accurate Korean name - Ho Sung Kim, or something to that effect. What happened? LOL. Oh well. At least Jung Hwang's name has been validated. Kind of.
Many things happened in my game last night, but unfortunately I did not take photos of some events.
Jung Hwang (henceforth known as JH) finally had his bachelor party at a bar. He had approximately three acquaintances so there weren't many people there, but it was still great. His energy got so low that he passed out on the ground. Amazing.
Iris and JH tied the knot on the Sparkling Sand's resort beach. It made for some pretty pictures, that's for sure. They had a pillow fight before heading straight to bed, and the next day they departed on their honeymoon to Shang Simla. I regret not getting photos because it was a great trip and they explored many a tomb. Maybe when they go back.
Also, I have yet to get photos but Iris is having a baby! Both her and JH have wishes to have a boy. I wanted them to have a girl, but who am I to say no to them? I'll be buying apples soon.
Plus of course Kunio thought that it was nice that there were two hot unattached females in the household.
Whoa, he's gone to the next level! Instead of calling them for dates, he'll be able to beggrovel ask them face-to-face. Hey, on the bright side, there's one less annoying caller now!
Oooh, lovely autumn scenery! Those leaves have an interesting purple tinge... then again this is coming from someone born and raised in a tropical country.
*gasp* I can hardly believe my eyes... did you just get through one whole post without anything blowing up? No meteors, no lightning strikes, no visits from Grim?
You sure you're all right?
And...Yasunobu and Susan took advantage of the shower. Woohoo at that age? They're going to give themselves a heart-attack.
Sims 4 says hello
Yeah, I hate the queues for the dishwasher too, which is why I manually drag my Sims' plates to the trash/dishwasher instead. But remind me, you're playing with, what, 18 Sims?
Ooh, just noticed that "hell" doesn't get censored anymore!
Connor, you creep! As if those scary fourth-wall-breaking stares weren't enough, now he's harassing a married woman! River's got murder on her mind... loved that dialogue between them!
I bet it's times like these that your Sims wish they could be more like ol' Master Manchu. Floating there blissfully, without a care in the world.
Ooh, can't wait to see what Grace decides to get into!
I like the look of her even though she is a 100% 0 slider sim. I don't have many of them in my game so having the occasional one actually adds a bit more diversity to my sim collection therefore I don't mind when one slips into the game.
Well, that's a really unique approach, though probably not one I'd personally take. But anyway, that's a great choice of skin and hair for her :>
Sophia is really pretty with that hair! Aliens and a PlantSim living under the same roof... I wonder what's next?
@CravenLestat Lovely shot of your apple tree! Hope you get lots of nice juicy apples this year :>
Also, TFW the only idea you have of how apple blossoms smell is from a cleaning product... ._. #citykid
@king_of_simcity7 Cool photos, the architecture is beautiful! Especially the fountain
Your girls are very pretty too! Ah, I love the little eyebrow-raise Sims do when they blow kisses... I need to re-visit the Irresistible trait.
@Charlottesmom Ramone looks handsome as a vampire! I also just noticed those grey lips... they give me the creeps! But I suppose it's preferable to an ashen-skinned vampire wearing bright ruby red lipstick.
I actually decided to time how fast I could get Jared and Claire back together, back together for me is full green relationship bar and are romantic, while still being ex's (cheatless of course), my record is 5 1/2 minutes.
Hahahaha! What's next, I wonder? Time how fast Agnes can resurrect Erik, maybe?
Man, I'm so used to seeing your Connor that I forgot how he looked without glasses!
Love that hoodie you have on Jared :>
Then Charlottesmom happened
Aww, Perri and Cassie are adoooorable! :>
Ugh, is that really what Bella looks like at YA? Good work shrinking those eyes, they were creeping me out!
Four alien babies? Whoa! I guess Connor's pregnancy book didn't prepare him for any of that
One of them doesn't seem too interested but anyway, I can't wait to see what you (and they) come up with :>
@lanlyn Aw, how lovely to see Charlie and Mayra doting on little Hamish! :>
Hope they don't pop out another one too soon, I'm sure they've got their hands full
Charlie certainly seems excited to be telling Inspector Erle about everything that's happened. Hm, wonder what's so important about the Power that it could impact on Hamish's future? Can't wait to see where the story goes from here :>
Haha, if it was me, I'd probably have used resetSim on Charlie! I'm forever paranoid that my male Sims will get abducted.
That may have been unexpected, but it's great to see you chose to incorporate it into your story!
Yay, Gran saved the day! Looks like she's good for more than just criticising Charlie and Mayra's relationship, huh?
And it's always fun for me to see what kind of sims I made when I first started playing the game.
I myself would rather not... *shivers* pudding faces... no custom skin... they all had the same hair...
Never knew aliens could have a "pollinator" last name! I swear, I'm learning so many new things from this forum!
Aww, I bet Laddie helped with the gardening too! :>
Ghillie (I didn't mix up the names this time yay) looks like he's cheering on Inspector Erle on the treadmill!
Charlie has such a cute smile
I always thought it was a cute little detail that dogs could (and would) chase the postman, but it's honestly a little annoying since it reinforces the Aggressive trait, and from experience, even dogs with the Friendly trait will do it!
@Mikezumi Great work with Jamie! I'm not big on makeup in TS3 in general, but I think the makeup you chose for Jamie suits her personality.
And I think she makes a cute guy Sim
I totally understand that peoples' taste in Sims changes over time. Back in 2013, I remember making Sims that were almost total pudding faces! That's something you'd never see me do today! Ugh... so glad I got out of that
@mycami21 That wolf shirt looks sweet! Awesome job! :>
School is busy. As usual. And I've got tests coming up too.. and then after these tests are over, I'll have a one-week study break before finals! I honestly feel a little guilty that I haven't been able to find time for writing my story... but I don't think I have much of a choice. Ah well, it'll all be over by June 22... gonna count down to that day.
@jxnnie -Great update! @Karritz -Your pets are like family members and I felt it when Sandi died.Great pictures! @tajnakamen -Thanks for the comment.It's a lone of the EA one with the pricing fixed. @king_of_simcity7 -Great pictures! @lanlyn -Great update!I use a Mod to control who can get pregnant from an alien abduction and if it is enabled as well as the chance of a pregnancy.I wish it was late for us and it can be late for my sims sometimes. @plushtrap_107 -I get that sometimes when I turn off remdering high detailed lots in the graphics options.I also have my graphics down so it happens to some of my buildings at times.I wouldn't put building shells on as I want my own designs and the shells all look like high rise buildings. @Mikezumi -Great update!Thanks for the comment. @Achoo89 -Thanks for the comment.I've been fixing the unaffordable starter home issue with a buy mode fix using S3OC to clone repriced buy mode objects as non-defaults. @CravenLestat -I'd back them up somewhere else in case I wanted them back though I've never cleaned out my library. @Silverofdreams30 -Great update! @mycami21 -Thanks for the comment. @imdragonit -Thanks for your comment. @MoonandStars83 -Great update!I suspect the forced automated role assignments might be what's making your games stick as it's know to cause others to have laggy games on slower computers and it's just annoying to me because it takes away my creativity in worlds by forcing the assignments on me when I'd rather not have them. @emorrill -It's almost the opposite though it's more that I get curls if I went overboard with blowdrying my hair when it's cut too short.I found longer hair makes the curls fall flat and my hair ends up just wavy instead of curly if I can get past that awful too short stage.My hair ended up getting fairly straight mostly because I was never too big on cutting it very short that often unless I got a bad haircut where it got cut too short by mistake.I've decided to stop getting it cut so frequently for a while unless I really have to to change the shape and style.I'll look at bowl cuts for now until I can get it grown out as that would keep it straighter. @Picke978 -I would never have use that open with option for the framework and it should've not been connected with the launcher like that.I'd look at seeing if that can be undone and redownload the file with using save file in the browser instead of open file.I've got browsers set to ask what to do with my downloads each time.It looks like you'll need to get that problem fixed at a computer repair shop to get that open with setting removed from that framework or you won't be able to add Mods to your game and it would take an expert to fix that mistake. @Nikkei_Simmer -Great update! @thuggishsplicer -I play in a window so I can keep rack of the time. @Charlottesmom -Great update! @MamaSimTee -I've fallen behind before.Thanks for your comment. @lisasc360 -Thanks for your comment. @coco -Great update! @Vincent_Vengeance -Great update! @OriginalMara -Thanks for your comment. @venusdemilosims -Thanks for your comment.I hope that computer is fixed soon. @TinySpaceFox -I hope you get time to play soon.
Here's another 100 baby challenge update below.
Storybrook County,Maine-Winter-1552.
Eli and Ami Jankowsky were both up early that first winter morning and tending the daily chores after getting ready for the day.
They both started working on writing their stories on their computers.
They eventually had to stop for lunch at noon and would start getting ready for work as well in the afternoon.
It was almost 3PM when they left for work and it was also raining out.
It was raining as the Jankowskys walked to work since no vehicles were on the roads with the possibility of the rain becoming an icestorm as the temperature fell below freezing.
They got home from work by 7:30 and got ready for bed.
They also bought more soil rugs and got into bed at 8:30.
Some of you wanted to see how purple my hair is and taking a pic in the car, with the natural light, was just the trick to being able to see it! @mycami21@plushtrap_107
Also, this tulip blooming has been my pride and joy this year! (It didn't bloom last spring, and that was our first spring in our new house, so I just thought the leaves were some perennial plant. So imagine my surprise when a bulb popped up on one of them this year! )
It's called a Greigii Tulip and isn't it the most gorgeous flower you've ever seen!?
It's almost like a rose-tulip hybrid (a combo of my two very favorite flowers!) I just can't get enough of it!
@TadOlson Thanks for the feedback! @venusdemilosims Thank you, glad you love them. Yes, Vince is my simself, as I mentioned it in my post. Shellie's based on my ex.
[img][/img]Page 2601 @Silverofdreams30 - Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. @Achoo89 - Welcome back, I know, it's hard keeping up with this thread. It's going to drive me absolutely nuts.
I tend to like messing with Sims. And I don't want to edit aliens out of the game, but I figure, let them try to do their thing...but don't give them a chance to...and get 'em back at all costs.
Mahmoud was having an argument with another sim, he had an inflated ego of his own self-worth, so I decided to give him a small head...
Yep...it's only temporary but funny as heck.
Suing for Slander in Sims is great if you have the money to keep fighting till you win and well, with §27M, the Chikamoris can pretty much out-last anyone in a court-battle..
@coco This, is Kimbra Isn't she just wow. She's technically the granddaughter of some sims I created, made through generate a child/baby in CAS.
@polrbear - Generate-A-Child sometimes tends to be surprising. In this case a very nice surprise. Great genetics too. @CravenLestat - Stunning @mycami21 - Great looking wolf shirt. @imdragonit - That's awesome... The way you work those in-game sliders is magic. I love the orcs and I'm loving the dwarf (that's a unique way of utilizing the children. ) @Karritz - Nice to see where Oscar came from.

@Karritz - Some 0-slider sims are pretty nice looking and what you did to the one that you found in Al Simhara was nice. I'm still trying to figure out. Is the teen River a 0-slider sim? Or are most SV sims 0-sliders? @thuggishsplicer - thanks. I try to be "funny" in the blogs. I find that humor makes the story a bit more fun. And the Sims do stuff that makes it way too easy to make fun of them. @CravenLestat - You live in what I consider a wonderland. Trees, Animals... I'd be in heaven in a place like that. If I win the lottery, I'm buying 500 acres and it's going to be all wooded and perhaps a lake in the center of it all. @king_of_simcity7 - great pictures. @CravenLestat - elbow macaroni? Hmmm, yep...I think she needs to pack on a few pounds to get her arms from string noodle to well-proportioned. @Charlottesmom - Looks like you really had some fun with Ramone - oh...turned him into a vampire? Hmmmm. I've never really gotten the hang of keeping vampires alive. They usually turn into a char-broiled steak in my games or they get staked. I like how you change Jared around. I like YOUR Jared better than that slicked-back faux-Elvis look that he sports in the base-game version. Which hair do you use? Maybe I might like him better...if I utilize a Jared that looks like yours - and perhaps...maybe get your simself and him together...hehehe... ~tease~ considering that you're always killing your simself off. Enjoyed your efforts in trying to get Jared and Claire together. I really like what you did with Bella. She looks really pretty. Do you have a save of her "new-improved" version knowing just how much you hate Ms. "Fish-Lips" Bachelor.
@Charlottesmom - Mortimer: "Hey...waitasecond...you don't look like Bella... Whatchu get done? Botox...lip-collagen removal...waitaminute...are you an alien????" @imdragonit - Those dwarves look really good. I'm wondering, is there a way to give "facial hair" to children? @lanlyn - great story line...interesting plot twist going on with Granesa.
Page 2602@Nikkei_Simmer I think you secretly enjoy those phone calls because you haven't stopped them
Kunio looks handsome!
The teppanyaki grill is getting a lot of use
@Mikezumi - The Watcher enjoys the phone-calls, River doesn't.
Kunio's a handsome devil... and he's got his eyes set on one of the Chikamori girls.
I love teppanyaki in real life...and it was such a find to have one in Sims 3.
Like what you did with Jamie Jolina...even though I don't like JJ's philandering ways. @mycami21 - Great job on that wolf-tee. @lanlyn - Well...that alien abduction was unexpected, but it certainly shows just how creative you are... in weaving an unexpected situation into your story-line and creating an interesting plot twist.
...and lots of pictures of alien babies. Awesome shots, everyone.
Pages: mid-2599 through 2601.@Nikkei_Simmer LOL at the Eddy's new jaw. ...L
...Giant bees pollinating the dew flowers! HA!
@lanlyn -
Mahmoud is starting to look like an mid-40s "General Tarkin" If I put him in all green...and added some Imperial General pips to his chest, he'd be a dead-ringer for GeneralTarkin.
Laddie and Ghillie are adorable. Yes...the green-dragon is so darned cute looking up at the Inspector.
@Nikkei_Simmer Brianna sounds very capable and trustworthy. ...I like the new boarders. Ah hah! Two hot unattached females. I can see the draw to living there! ...Haruo is a man after my own heart! When my husband and I go grocery shopping together, we almost always eat out that day. The bistro sounds like a good choice to me.
...Heart attack from shower woohoo. Yikes! ...Great shots of Kunio on the grill. ...In my sim homes with larger families, I also usually have two fridges and two sinks. Sometimes, sims will wait patiently in line; other times, they just give up and wander off. More options help. ...Connor's call! Too funny! LOL ...Great gnome shots.
@Featherbelle and I always tend to eat out on grocery day too in RL. Yep, Kunio and Shigeo are going to enjoy living at the Chikamori residence.
I think I only have one sink. Probably time to put in another one (in my next build - including the wok-kitchen). I decided to have River flip out because she's gotten calls from him when they were living in SV as well as him calling up every so often long-distance from SV-Riverview.
Your little Laddie is getting cuter and cuter every time you post pics of him. He's adorable. @Karritz - great alien and plantsim shots, and Sally is very pretty.

I see Lucky Palms is yet another world that I'm going to have to get one of these days. (I see my wallet turning pale) @Vincent_Vengeance - hope you had a fun time in Moscow and am glad that your travels were safe. Your sim(self?)

Wait...wut...this thread moved another five pages????!!!!!
@Nikkei_Simmer Poor Aidan! He'll find someone special someday.
@venusdemilosims - Welcome back to this thread... I know...right? He's grown up with the girls...and loved hanging out with them, realized that he cared for Alanna and then finds out that she doesn't reciprocate his feelings. That's a tough blow...but happiness is around the corner...but he needs to finish university...and get himself into a good situation. @jxxnie - Congratulations to Iris and JH on their marriage. @Silverofdreams30 - great update.
Whoa, he's gone to the next level! Instead of calling them for dates, he'll be able to beggrovel ask them face-to-face. Hey, on the bright side, there's one less annoying caller now!
@TinySpaceFox - You know...I never thought of Kunio that way before. You may have a point there.
Oooh, lovely autumn scenery! Those leaves have an interesting purple tinge... then again this is coming from someone born and raised in a tropical country.
*gasp* I can hardly believe my eyes... did you just get through one whole post without anything blowing up? No meteors, no lightning strikes, no visits from Grim?

Yeah, I hate the queues for the dishwasher too, which is why I manually drag my Sims' plates to the trash/dishwasher instead. But remind me, you're playing with, what, 18 Sims?
Ooh, just noticed that "hell" doesn't get censored anymore!

I bet it's times like these that your Sims wish they could be more like ol' Master Manchu. Floating there blissfully, without a care in the world.
If only Connor was there to see that, amirite?
Maybe Abracadabra's just waiting there for the next couple to go in so they can give him a show
@TinySpaceFox - Yup, sometimes the dishes if they annoy me go directly into the recycling. Hey they generate new ones.
Hmmm, me too... shhhh...don't want the SimGurus to notice.
Connor deserved getting lambasted by River, he's been consistently pestering her. I guess JJ cheated on him.
Connor seriously needs to get his rear-end handed to him on a platter. Haruo would be happy to kick Connor's rear-end for him...with steel-toed boots.

@lanlyn The alien toddler is adorable. That is how my legacy sim had his first child and he hired his future wife to be the nanny.
Oldest child, she was a teenager when I had to stop playing the save. This was my first alien snowman! I have names in a notebook somewhere, but, I can't remember them right now. Stupid memory!
The second alien child with one of her half sisters.
Pregnant with the last alien babies. He was huge by the time they were born.

@Karritz Cute pics of your alien kids.
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
Clarissa went through the haunted house and got cursed by a witch
It had started to rain so I took her to the library and skilled her cooking up to level 3.
Sorry for these really dark images. Clarissa was having a bit of fun at the wishing well when a frog suddenly hopped out.
There's no choice but to give that frog a big wet kiss
The frog didn't look too happy and hopped right back into the well again.
But when she wished for wealth it gave her a Tiberium gem! After cutting it, she went home and planted it.
I let her carve another pumpkin. This time it's an evil one.
Since Clark is restricted by his work hours, Clarissa has no choice but to visit him. He was pumping some weights when she found him. I gave him some new outfits, this one I had fun adding some flames to his sleeves - it's so him.
Clarissa is crazy for him but does he feel the same way? Maybe he regrets what happened...
No, these are the eyes of a boy in love
Say cheese!
I sent Clarissa to the inventing table and she made her first widget, the drinking llama.
Back at home, the Tiberium spire got bigger which means that the value of it went sky high. Clarissa now had §47,000 to her name
Goodbye little shack and hello fancy new house. I'm no 'charlottesmom' at building but I thought it was cute.
This room is a bit sparse but will be for hobbies. Oops just noticed that wall doesn't match up with the rest
That's about all that happened today. She also went to a party and made some more friends. My girl is living a happy life right now
They are kind of alike with Steve and Sheryl, but yet they seem to be living in different parallel worlds.
This sim has been based on me. His name is Vincent (just like me), he's a musician too.
He's the opposite of Steve - not successful, not loved and needed by everyone, not respected and not rich. At the same time he's friendly enough, caring, loving, emotional and he does love parties, what's not about Steve. Vince is not that ignorant, his loved ones make a big part of his life.
Vince's girlfriend, Shellie, she's a "Steve" for this save, because I play opposites again, but the guy is now a friendly person and the girl is serious. Shellie wants to be a doctor. She takes care of Vince, because he's too childish. She wants him to become more serious too and behave like adult.
But she has to try better, I'm not sure she will ever fix his behavior. Vince is a good caring person anyway, but he's a forever teenager.
Likes/awesomes passed out. Great updates @everyone!
Luke and Lauren are off to school
Later Scarlet ages up
The game still thinks that she is a boy!
I gave her the girl next door look
Next Nick ages up
He looks like Mick Jagger!
I will keep his looks
Why not?
Big Plans for Elsa; Aidan Gets His Heart Crushed.
One of the things that Haruo loved doing was to play the violin. Whether it was reels or violin concerti, he was always yanking out the violin and playing it, most often in the most inopportune locations, such as right in front of the house front door. Y'know, Haruo, other sims have to go to work.
Aidan: "Look Alanna, I know that we've known each other for a long time..."
Alanna: "Yeah, we have...you're like a brother to me...Aidan."
Aidan: "I don't know how to make this easy, but I always found you to be really attractive..."
Alanna: "I don't think that's a great idea...Aidan...we're related. And in any case. As nice as you are, I'm just not that into you. You're a family member...and not someone that I see as a romantic interest."
Aidan: (silent, heart crushed).
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
@CravenLestat I continue to be impressed with your 'fashion design' skills
@coco Love your makeover of Lola!
@king_of_simcity7 Scarlet and Nick aged up great!
@Vincent_Vengeance Vince and Sheryl are lovely sims. Is Vince your simself?
@Nikkei_Simmer Poor Aidan! He'll find someone special someday.
@bekkasan The alien kids are lovely and the father looks devoted.
Well guys my laptop (the one I use to play Sims 3 on) is now in the shop. I accidentally broke the touch screen on it. I paid $59 to ship it lol. It better be worth it!
@king_of_simcity7 Nice update, congrats on aging up
@Nikkei_Simmer Great updates
@coco Nice looking sim, and great update
@tajanakamen It really was! Usually don't have bachelorette parties but this one lasted for 10+ hours. It was wild! Thanks for your feedback!
@Mikezumi Thank you! They're a cute couple. I forgot how lovely the romantic animations in this game could be. Do Eggs Machiavellian take watermelons? Never knew that. Congrats to Euan & you for completing his LTW!
@bekkasan It was very fun!
@Achoo89 Haha! It's true. I know I laughed pretty hard (well, internal laughter) when I saw that guy climb onto the counter. Hysterical. Hope you're having a better day today love.
@lanlyn Thank you! To be honest it was easier than expected - the only issue is that my household never had money during development because it all went to the resort
@Nikkei_Simmer Right? Haha my sims went on a honeymoon to Shang Simla, so I know exactly what you're talking about, the devs not coming up with more accurate Chinese names. While there, I did find a sim with an accurate Korean name - Ho Sung Kim, or something to that effect. What happened? LOL. Oh well. At least Jung Hwang's name has been validated. Kind of.
Many things happened in my game last night, but unfortunately I did not take photos of some events.
Jung Hwang (henceforth known as JH) finally had his bachelor party at a bar. He had approximately three acquaintances so there weren't many people there, but it was still great. His energy got so low that he passed out on the ground. Amazing.
Iris and JH tied the knot on the Sparkling Sand's resort beach. It made for some pretty pictures, that's for sure. They had a pillow fight before heading straight to bed, and the next day they departed on their honeymoon to Shang Simla. I regret not getting photos because it was a great trip and they explored many a tomb. Maybe when they go back.
Also, I have yet to get photos but Iris is having a baby! Both her and JH have wishes to have a boy. I wanted them to have a girl, but who am I to say no to them? I'll be buying apples soon.
game today.

It was a hot day, so I sent all 4 to the beach area,

They also visited one of the public pools.

@Nikkei_Simmer Your Sims generally seem to get a lot of date calls... Whoa, he's gone to the next level! Instead of calling them for dates, he'll be able to beg grovel ask them face-to-face. Hey, on the bright side, there's one less annoying caller now!
Oooh, lovely autumn scenery! Those leaves have an interesting purple tinge... then again this is coming from someone born and raised in a tropical country. *gasp* I can hardly believe my eyes... did you just get through one whole post without anything blowing up? No meteors, no lightning strikes, no visits from Grim?
You sure you're all right?
Yeah, I hate the queues for the dishwasher too, which is why I manually drag my Sims' plates to the trash/dishwasher instead. But remind me, you're playing with, what, 18 Sims?
Ooh, just noticed that "hell" doesn't get censored anymore!
Connor, you creep! As if those scary fourth-wall-breaking stares weren't enough, now he's harassing a married woman! River's got murder on her mind... loved that dialogue between them!
I bet it's times like these that your Sims wish they could be more like ol' Master Manchu. Floating there blissfully, without a care in the world.
Ooh, can't wait to see what Grace decides to get into! If only Connor was there to see that, amirite?
Maybe Abracadabra's just waiting there for the next couple to go in so they can give him a show
@Karritz Well, that's a really unique approach, though probably not one I'd personally take. But anyway, that's a great choice of skin and hair for her :>
Sophia is really pretty with that hair! Aliens and a PlantSim living under the same roof... I wonder what's next?
@CravenLestat Lovely shot of your apple tree! Hope you get lots of nice juicy apples this year :>
Also, TFW the only idea you have of how apple blossoms smell is from a cleaning product... ._. #citykid
@king_of_simcity7 Cool photos, the architecture is beautiful! Especially the fountain
Your girls are very pretty too! Ah, I love the little eyebrow-raise Sims do when they blow kisses... I need to re-visit the Irresistible trait.
@Charlottesmom Ramone looks handsome as a vampire!
Man, I'm so used to seeing your Connor that I forgot how he looked without glasses!
Love that hoodie you have on Jared :> Jared happened, that's what!
Aww, Perri and Cassie are adoooorable! :>
Ugh, is that really what Bella looks like at YA? Good work shrinking those eyes, they were creeping me out!
Four alien babies? Whoa! I guess Connor's pregnancy book didn't prepare him for any of that
@imdragonit One of them doesn't seem too interested
@lanlyn Aw, how lovely to see Charlie and Mayra doting on little Hamish! :>
Hope they don't pop out another one too soon, I'm sure they've got their hands full
Charlie certainly seems excited to be telling Inspector Erle about everything that's happened. Hm, wonder what's so important about the Power that it could impact on Hamish's future? Can't wait to see where the story goes from here :>
Haha, if it was me, I'd probably have used resetSim on Charlie! I'm forever paranoid that my male Sims will get abducted.
That may have been unexpected, but it's great to see you chose to incorporate it into your story!
Yay, Gran saved the day! Looks like she's good for more than just criticising Charlie and Mayra's relationship, huh?
Never knew aliens could have a "pollinator" last name! I swear, I'm learning so many new things from this forum! Aww, I bet Laddie helped with the gardening too! :>
Ghillie (I didn't mix up the names this time yay) looks like he's cheering on Inspector Erle on the treadmill!
Charlie has such a cute smile
I always thought it was a cute little detail that dogs could (and would) chase the postman, but it's honestly a little annoying since it reinforces the Aggressive trait, and from experience, even dogs with the Friendly trait will do it!
@Mikezumi Great work with Jamie! I'm not big on makeup in TS3 in general, but I think the makeup you chose for Jamie suits her personality.
And I think she makes a cute guy Sim
I totally understand that peoples' taste in Sims changes over time. Back in 2013, I remember making Sims that were almost total pudding faces! That's something you'd never see me do today! Ugh... so glad I got out of that
@mycami21 That wolf shirt looks sweet! Awesome job! :>
School is busy. As usual. And I've got tests coming up too.. and then after these tests are over, I'll have a one-week study break before finals! I honestly feel a little guilty that I haven't been able to find time for writing my story... but I don't think I have much of a choice. Ah well, it'll all be over by June 22... gonna count down to that day.
Happy Simming everyone!
TS4 Sims in TS3
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks for the comment and nice update
@TinySpaceFox Thanks for the comments
@Karritz -Your pets are like family members and I felt it when Sandi died.Great pictures!
@tajnakamen -Thanks for the comment.It's a lone of the EA one with the pricing fixed.
@king_of_simcity7 -Great pictures!
@lanlyn -Great update!I use a Mod to control who can get pregnant from an alien abduction and if it is enabled as well as the chance of a pregnancy.I wish it was late for us and it can be late for my sims sometimes.
@plushtrap_107 -I get that sometimes when I turn off remdering high detailed lots in the graphics options.I also have my graphics down so it happens to some of my buildings at times.I wouldn't put building shells on as I want my own designs and the shells all look like high rise buildings.
@Mikezumi -Great update!Thanks for the comment.
@Achoo89 -Thanks for the comment.I've been fixing the unaffordable starter home issue with a buy mode fix using S3OC to clone repriced buy mode objects as non-defaults.
@CravenLestat -I'd back them up somewhere else in case I wanted them back though I've never cleaned out my library.
@Silverofdreams30 -Great update!
@mycami21 -Thanks for the comment.
@imdragonit -Thanks for your comment.
@MoonandStars83 -Great update!I suspect the forced automated role assignments might be what's making your games stick as it's know to cause others to have laggy games on slower computers and it's just annoying to me because it takes away my creativity in worlds by forcing the assignments on me when I'd rather not have them.
@emorrill -It's almost the opposite though it's more that I get curls if I went overboard with blowdrying my hair when it's cut too short.I found longer hair makes the curls fall flat and my hair ends up just wavy instead of curly if I can get past that awful too short stage.My hair ended up getting fairly straight mostly because I was never too big on cutting it very short that often unless I got a bad haircut where it got cut too short by mistake.I've decided to stop getting it cut so frequently for a while unless I really have to to change the shape and style.I'll look at bowl cuts for now until I can get it grown out as that would keep it straighter.
@Picke978 -I would never have use that open with option for the framework and it should've not been connected with the launcher like that.I'd look at seeing if that can be undone and redownload the file with using save file in the browser instead of open file.I've got browsers set to ask what to do with my downloads each time.It looks like you'll need to get that problem fixed at a computer repair shop to get that open with setting removed from that framework or you won't be able to add Mods to your game and it would take an expert to fix that mistake.
@Nikkei_Simmer -Great update!
@thuggishsplicer -I play in a window so I can keep rack of the time.
@Charlottesmom -Great update!
@MamaSimTee -I've fallen behind before.Thanks for your comment.
@lisasc360 -Thanks for your comment.
@coco -Great update!
@Vincent_Vengeance -Great update!
@OriginalMara -Thanks for your comment.
@venusdemilosims -Thanks for your comment.I hope that computer is fixed soon.
@TinySpaceFox -I hope you get time to play soon.
Here's another 100 baby challenge update below.
Eli and Ami Jankowsky were both up early that first winter morning and tending the daily chores after getting ready for the day.
They both started working on writing their stories on their computers.
They eventually had to stop for lunch at noon and would start getting ready for work as well in the afternoon.
It was almost 3PM when they left for work and it was also raining out.
It was raining as the Jankowskys walked to work since no vehicles were on the roads with the possibility of the rain becoming an icestorm as the temperature fell below freezing.
They got home from work by 7:30 and got ready for bed.
They also bought more soil rugs and got into bed at 8:30.
Felt like sharing some pics.
Some of you wanted to see how purple my hair is and taking a pic in the car, with the natural light, was just the trick to being able to see it!
@mycami21 @plushtrap_107
Also, this tulip blooming has been my pride and joy this year!
It's called a Greigii Tulip and isn't it the most gorgeous flower you've ever seen!?
It's almost like a rose-tulip hybrid
Anyway, Sim on my friends.
@venusdemilosims Thank you, glad you love them. Yes, Vince is my simself, as I mentioned it in my post. Shellie's based on my ex.
@Silverofdreams30 - Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
@Achoo89 - Welcome back, I know, it's hard keeping up with this thread. It's going to drive me absolutely nuts.
I tend to like messing with Sims.
Mahmoud was having an argument with another sim, he had an inflated ego of his own self-worth, so I decided to give him a small head...
Yep...it's only temporary but funny as heck.
Suing for Slander in Sims is great if you have the money to keep fighting till you win and well, with §27M, the Chikamoris can pretty much out-last anyone in a court-battle..
@CravenLestat - Stunning
@mycami21 - Great looking wolf shirt.
@imdragonit - That's awesome... The way you work those in-game sliders is magic. I love the orcs and I'm loving the dwarf (that's a unique way of utilizing the children.
@Karritz - Nice to see where Oscar came from.

@Karritz - Some 0-slider sims are pretty nice looking and what you did to the one that you found in Al Simhara was nice. I'm still trying to figure out. Is the teen River a 0-slider sim? Or are most SV sims 0-sliders?
@thuggishsplicer - thanks. I try to be "funny" in the blogs.
@CravenLestat - You live in what I consider a wonderland.
@king_of_simcity7 - great pictures.
@CravenLestat - elbow macaroni? Hmmm, yep...I think she needs to pack on a few pounds to get her arms from string noodle to well-proportioned.
@Charlottesmom - Looks like you really had some fun with Ramone - oh...turned him into a vampire? Hmmmm. I've never really gotten the hang of keeping vampires alive. They usually turn into a char-broiled steak in my games or they get staked. I like how you change Jared around. I like YOUR Jared better than that slicked-back faux-Elvis look that he sports in the base-game version. Which hair do you use?
@imdragonit - Those dwarves look really good.
@lanlyn - great story line...interesting plot twist going on with Granesa.

Page 2603 @Mikezumi - The Watcher enjoys the phone-calls, River doesn't.
Kunio's a handsome devil... and he's got his eyes set on one of the Chikamori girls.
I love teppanyaki in real life...and it was such a find to have one in Sims 3.
Like what you did with Jamie Jolina...even though I don't like JJ's philandering ways.
@mycami21 - Great job on that wolf-tee.
@lanlyn - Well...that alien abduction was unexpected, but it certainly shows just how creative you are... in weaving an unexpected situation into your story-line and creating an interesting plot twist.
...and lots of pictures of alien babies.
@king_of_simcity7 - great shots. @lanlyn -
Mahmoud is starting to look like an mid-40s "General Tarkin" If I put him in all green...and added some Imperial General pips to his chest, he'd be a dead-ringer for GeneralTarkin.
Laddie and Ghillie are adorable. Yes...the green-dragon is so darned cute looking up at the Inspector.
I think I only have one sink. Probably time to put in another one (in my next build - including the wok-kitchen). I decided to have River flip out because she's gotten calls from him when they were living in SV as well as him calling up every so often long-distance from SV-Riverview.
Your little Laddie is getting cuter and cuter every time you post pics of him.
@Karritz - great alien and plantsim shots, and Sally is very pretty.

@CravenLestat - Another stunning creation...She's gorgeous.
@coco - that new hair for Lola looks gorgeous. That wishing well looks fun (kissing a frog).
@Vincent_Vengeance - hope you had a fun time in Moscow and am glad that your travels were safe. Your sim(self?) Vince is a nice-looking guy and Shellie is gorgeous.
@OriginalMara - it certainly is tough to keep up with this thread...
Wait...wut...this thread moved another five pages????!!!!! @venusdemilosims - Welcome back to this thread...
@jxxnie - Congratulations to Iris and JH on their marriage.
@Silverofdreams30 - great update. @TinySpaceFox - I love working those date-calls into the story-line. It does help that there's a lot of them. @TinySpaceFox - You know...I never thought of Kunio that way before. You may have a point there.
https://500px.com/photo/20015427/fall-colors-by-falconrose-photography?ctx_page=2&from=user&user_id=83456
Especially when the maple leaves change color. @TinySpaceFox - You know what... I think I'd better check my temp. I might be running a fever.
Hmmm, me too... shhhh...don't want the SimGurus to notice.
Connor deserved getting lambasted by River, he's been consistently pestering her. I guess JJ cheated on him.
Connor seriously needs to get his rear-end handed to him on a platter. Haruo would be happy to kick Connor's rear-end for him...with steel-toed boots.
