Your first/earliest screenshot??

I don't know if there has been a thread like this, but I thought it'd be interesting to see everyone's first/earliest screenshots.

Mine is from November 2013, in a long-since-deleted save game. All I remember is that they were Fairies, and that the first four kids (there were six in total) were called Scarlet, Meredith, Fleur and Claudia. The mom was a redhead (shown in later screenshots) and the dad was blond. The eldest four girls (a singleton followed by a set of triplets) were blonde, and the youngest two (twins) were redheads. They lived in Sunset Valley, originally in "El" Urban Sprawl, then moving to Unabridged (one of the lots on the same road as Gobias Koffi lives). I can't remember what the parents were called, nor the names of the two youngest.
It wasn't the first time I'd played, just the oldest screenshot on my current laptop.

This is Scarlet chatting to a triplet, don't know which one. I think Meredith is the one in red. I remember Scarlet wore white/that cherry pattern, Meredith wore red, Fleur wore green and Claudia wore purple.

    Oh, wow. I'm pretty sure my first few (ummm... few dozen?) screenshots were the result of me accidentally hitting the C key when I was trying to do something else. I really didn't bother with them for years, and anyway the three or four game folders that existed on my old computer at different times are long gone by now.

    The oldest shot I have on my current computer was one I took just because it amused me. Trevor only had enough money for two rooms, hence the giant blank space where the rest of his house eventually went. But somehow, he still had absolutely no sense of shame:

    (I like to think I'm slightly better at taking screenshots these days.)

    My laptop is only 2 years old. I took a long break from the sims when I moved back to Australia but I have been playing the game since it was released. I brought all my screenshots with me when I moved and I know where they are but I would be hesitant about looking through them as I might find myself spending a whole day reminiscing ;)

    Hi :)

    This is one of the first when I was remaking Sunset Valley into a Mythical island. :)

    Looks pretty cool @Rflong7 !!

    Sometimes I do just look through old screenshots. I never remember that much about them, which is annoying. I'll remember some things like names, and I'll remember playing with them. What's particularly annoying is when I remember some of the names (like with the above) but not with all of them! With some I don't remember any details at all.

    It also seems that most of my Sims have been redheads. Guess what colour my hair is? :D:D:D (Mine's more an auburn/copper shade than the orangey tone that Sims have).

    I have thousands of screenshots over the years but those are some of the random ones I picked.

    I don't think I uploaded my very first set of screenshots. This is the first one I uploaded to Flickr in 2012. When I went from a cruddy eMachine to a slightly less cruddy HP.

    Scratching my brain trying to remember this sims name. :D Devon maybe? He was a bit of a sleazeball.

    I don't have any photos from my first time playing, but I remember the sims I'd made:
    Carson and Annabeth Lowell. They had three sons, two daughters, and eventually had 12 grandchildren.(never EVER give two parents Fertility Treatment because the eldest daughter ended up with a set of twins AND a set of triplets!)

    Thanks to the photobucket fiasco a while ago I lost 5 years worth of photos that it held hostage when I closed my account. I guess it's not all bad... nobody has to see how bad my graphics were in 2009 lol. But I was able to go back to 2014 with this one, surprised I could go that far back even. (though I think I still have a flash drive *somewhere* from like 2012 or something... it turns up randomly and vanishes as fast as it appeared so idk)

    I vaguely remember this sim. I don't remember her name lol (I'm lucky if I remember MY name though) but I remember sending her off to university and then ruining her life by having her get pregnant with some 🐸🐸🐸🐸/deadbeat dad. I know I had a blast playing her, but I had major game and/or computer issues and lost the save I think just after she had her baby (might not even have made that far, idk tbh). I was really bummed. Now I'm kinda bummed again lol.

    To tell you the truth, I only started playing in January of 2017. :D Yeah, a newcomer to the TS3 fold...as of 2017.

    I didn't take any pictures from 2009-2011 but I sorely wish I did.

    This was my first screenshot on 31st March 2012 and it's horrendous! I can't believe I thought he looked good haha :grimace:

    My second screenshot is a much better shot from within CAS.

    This is the oldest one I have right now. I lost an account somehow with the photo site and had to start over so the earliest ones are gone. :( The copies may be on an external drive but I have not looked.
    I don't remember all their names but this is my legacy family, the Bannister family and they actually have more children later. Nick Bannister is in the red shirt. Founder, his sister, I think she is Lexie is in the white outfit. Her husband, a warlock, is next to her and they have two kids. Nick's wife is a fairy, named Sapphire. They have 6 kids in this picture. Only two of the kids are human, the rest either alien, fairy or plant sim. Nick is a scientist and keeps getting knocked up by aliens. He has 3 more alien kids later in the story.

    This is an interesting idea for a thread, @Lucy_Henley!
    Oh, wow. I'm pretty sure my first few (ummm... few dozen?) screenshots were the result of me accidentally hitting the C key when I was trying to do something else.

    ^^This is also me! :lol:

    And I’m not that great at remembering to take pix while playing, even now. But I still have some old shots from about 2010-2011. It was fun to look through them, even though I had no clue about using the tab key at the time for better angles.

    As I mentioned in my earlier post, I have only had this laptop for 2 years. I hunted through my various screenshot folders and found the first pic I took after setting up the sims on this laptop. It makes sense that it would be of Eddie, my first favourite sim :)

    I have quite a few more screenshots of that family. I have a feeling the surname was Asquith, for some reason I use that surname a LOT with my Sims, although I haven't recently.
    Here are some of them.

    This is when the parents were off to the hospital to give birth to the twins.

    My computer also needed to be repaired as well, so I lost all of my screenshots including a 100 baby challenge that I nearly completed. I remember that I was on 93 babies. Anyway, these are my screenshots:

    My earliest screenshots were lost, because my computer died. This is the first picture after I´ve bought a new one. It´s from 13th November 2013 (edit: and it´s from a Sim I´m still playing with)

    Mine are from 2009 when the game first came out. When we couldn't move lots or add/delete lots. Good times... good times.
