...in the immediate future, I have a "wedding video" planned and in the filming stage right now. It's being filmed and edited in sections. Yeah, it's a "narrative video" set to music. When I finish that, I'll try and see if I can figure out whether to "work on my legacy" or work on one of the other numerous other stories and plot lines lying around. I hate that dammed plot-bunny. It's a pain in the tuckus.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
I've got a new CAW project planned for this year. A medium sized English coastal town, with some rich history and intricate backstories. It should be a lot of fun to work on, particularly since I'm meticulously planning all the details first before even opening CAW.
My other main project is a new University system for a large group of Uni students. I love playing the Teen/Young Adult life stages with all their detailed relationships, hobbies and future plans so this is a project I can actually see myself sticking with.
Love the sound of everybody else's projects. It's also lovely to see lots of other simmers still working with CAW
Your CAW project sounds good. I am also working on an English seaside town so it might be worth comparing the two once they are complete. Should be fun seeing how two different people see a seaside town. You are so right about the planning beforehand.
Good Luck with the uni project too. Sending sims off to uni is one of my favourite things as there is so much for them to do.

The great Agatha Christie used to recycle plots like nobody else but she was such a fantastic writer that her readers never knew. With that in mind I would show the plot bunny the door The wedding video sounds good. Everyone enjoys a good romance with plenty of drama along the way. Good Luck in getting your videos made. I should imagine it takes as much time as it does terrain painting and sculpting in CAW.

As long as I've been playing, I've never had a sim die and I've never made it to generation 3. So, that's what I'd like to do this year.
I've actually been waiting on one to die for the past 3 RL days. I downloaded a couple that I had played years ago and uploaded them to the exchange. A witch and an alien who have a alien child. The alien was already an elder when he moved in. So when I started playing them again, I shortened the number of sim days for an elder. He's now over a sim-week past his expiration date. I hope I don't have to wait too much longer.

I had to laugh when I read your post as I spend all my time trying to keep my sims alive as long as possible. I get really upset when one dies because like most of us I get rather attached to them. Still I hope you get your wish and your alien pops his clogs soon. The arrival of Grimmy is a bit of pure theatre and your other sims will have a chance to plead to save the life of the one Grimmy plans to collect. He does occasionally allow one to live so you may be stuck with your alien for a bit longer. Whatever you do don't leave any death flowers lying around

My goal would be to try to and play a save file without getting frustrated. I personally was just gifted Sims 3 with a few expansions. I played the original first The Sims iteration and replaced it with Sims 4 in 2016. I was looking for more challenge when a IRL friend suggested I go backwards and try Sims 3. So, I will be exploring Sims 3 for the first time.
I've started playing a game with a long life span. I've always played normal life span in the past. With the longer life span I plan for my sim to fully explore painting and photography and traveling.
Another project I'm looking forward to starting sometime in the future is to transform and then play in Midnight Hollow. First I plan to edit every lot in town replacing the haunted landscaping with normal items, brightening the dark, depressing colors of the buildings inside and out and even doing some remodeling. Then I want to try CAW for the first time to replace all the haunted trees and shrubs in the map with normal ones. I think the town can be dark and mysterious without the extremely depressing rendering of the current version.
My goal would be to try to and play a save file without getting frustrated.
@NorthDakotaGamer , Nrass mods would probably eliminate about 90% or more of your frustrations. I would never play without them.
I am actually more frustrated with the camera and how it controls than anything else right now. I tried playing it for 20 minutes before giving up. I will keep trying it though.

It takes a little practice with the camera and I am sure there are youtube videos about it together with guidance on the keyboard short cuts. Wishing you very happy simming.

@NorthDakotaGamer: First welcome to The Sims3. I love your avatar. Cute little parakeets!
I'm going to try to play and do the tombs.
Good Luck with the tombs exploration

@Deshong04 Good luck with the castaway project. I played the game once and found it quite boring. Although it had good potential, a sims 3 version sounds awesome!
I want to play ALL the premade families! One day...
It's now May and I have finally installed a new EP! I installed Supernatural earlier today and have started a test save. Am enjoying it so far! Although I don't think I will have supernatural sims in my regular family saves, I will probably try at least one of the occult life states in this brief save.
Edit to add: I also bought Dragon Valley a few weeks ago so have accomplished what I set out to do when this thread was first made

@Mikezumi Yay, new EP and world! Fun that you have new things to discover after so long! I got Supernatural when it came out, but haven't tried much of what came with it because I prefer realism, and I think you do too since you waited a couple of years before buying it. ^^
I took a long break between December and May, and now I'm back playing again. I will continue playing my sim family and the families that married into mine. And some of the neighbours need children so thee wille be enough sims to choose from when the young ones in my family grow up and start looking for girl- and boyfriends.
I am still picking at my challenge of having one sim get all six degrees from University. I do go off the path a little every once in a while. It's been a bit hectic IRL...so, hopefully, I will be able to do this!
Is there a support group for Simming Addiction? I think I need it...
Finally reaching the end of ten generations! I'm already on six, and I'm doing a mermaid legacy. Instead of the firstborn child being the heir, the firstborn mermaid child is the heir, though that usually is the firstborn. No mermaid at the moment at the moment. Already had two. Going for number three!
