Unfortunately I have ran into PC issues which would mean some lost gameplay progress. I have had a lot more time to play The Sims the past few couple of months but all of my recent screenshots are up on Imgur.
As a few other players might have had more time for Simming than they would normally have why not look back at the past few month's progress?
Here are some screens from the past few months:
Lockdown is announced
Courtney and Grover. It seems like only yesterday I took this picture
As there is a toilet roll shortage in town Angie goes out to compete
It results in chaos outside of the shops
No social distancing here! The police are kept busy breaking groups apart
After I got bored of lockdown related stories I went into Roaring Heights and played Old Skool. Sadly this save file might be lost!
No social distancing rules here which is just as well as there has been almost constant parties
One household had gone to University!
More dramas and tension!
Back in Roaring Heights there had been more dramas
We have a breakup!
And the most recent. My Sims are meant to be back at University for the second term but I am not sure if I could save that game file. This would have lead to eight graduations as well!
What lockdown moments have stood out for you? All Sims games welcome
I'll let you know when it's over. We are still in lockdown. And they are talking about a second wave this fall..guess I'm stuck here forever. But I do sneek out sometimes, and wear a mask, so I can clear my fuzzy head. Sorry about your pc and lost saves...bummer.
I spent the first few months of this back in Feb and March cleaning out my overloaded pc. Funny most my files that were taking up the most space was like ten thousand saves of TS2. lol Mostly downloads, cc, and projects of cc, and saved worlds I had built etc. etc. for nine thousand screen shots or videos. lol

A second wave might still happen. Restrictions have been eased though but I have seen some ridiculous things at the start of the weekend
My PC is repaired though but I need to wait of my external drive as that has all my back up on it
March 2020 (when my province went into lockdown)...till end of May - No computer. Observing strict social-distancing standards - which meant that hanging around my house with nothing to do...pretty much drove me stark-raving "insane".
End of May (when my wife got me a new laptop - reinstalled my game...and started playing again.
End of July (now) - starting to find my way around the game again and investigating CAW.
Play is all Sims 3.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
In late March I got an idea to have my Sims 4 to have new game saves based on a different timelines with changing my worlds & lots.
My 1st was a futuristic timeline in the year 2525.
I really had fun making my Metal Trees from my Discover University decor. I got a lot of use with my Get To Work, Get Famous, Fitness & Moschino for the futuristic homes. Recently, I upgraded it after I got Eco Living.
My 2nd was a prehistoric timeline in the year 1.
I delayed all the premises in all the world.
I uses a lot of tropical Trees, Flower Bushes & Rocks from Island Living & Jungle Adventure.
I also got a lot of use with Outdoor Retreat.
My 3rd was a renaissance timeline in 1400 AD.
I mostly used Pine, Norway & Evergreen Trees.
I loved playing my fave worlds Windenburg, Glimmerbrook & Forgotten Hollow in the games Get Together, Realm of Magic & Vampires.
My 4th is based on the 20th Century from
1920s to 1980s.
I got inspired when Eco Living came out.
For this I use City Living, Cats & Dogs, Eco Living,
Parenthood, Movie Hangout, Laundry Day,
Bowling, Vintage & Strangerville furniture & decor.
As for the Sims, I have a couple of different versions of Bella, some of my own made unplayed households & my ongoing played households.
My fave so far are my:
Adam & Eve with little Moses
Peasant Girl whose an inventor
Armageddon Woman whose trying to survive
Three's Company with a supernatural twist
I was playing TS2 UC and mostly playing a BACC and setting up for Homesteader's challenge as well as setting up an apocalypse challenge town.My BACC has only two couples both living on homesteads and getting ready for the winter of 1841 in Dodge.
