    The next thing I will send you tonight is your next test since you have the basics down.You can do it!!!!! You did great Zeegee


    @emorrill Quick reply,the original animal crossing stole my life,that game should have a surgeon general warning about it being addictive and the exiting strategy therapy and counseling needed to kick the habit.

    @Evalen thank you. In the Perfect Genetics Challenge game/video series each of the babies receive an Imaginary Friend when they are born. As a result there are a LOT, a HUGE LOT, of Imaginary Friends made real in the household. Little Bart is just the latest one to arrive. His owner is an alien. The father of the household has had 3 alien pregnancies AFTER I decided there would be no more babies for them as they have their heir. As a result of all the Imaginary Friends made real, and the 3 alien children, there are now 19 sims in the household with two more dolls still to be made real. One is following its owner around and she is trying to discover the potion to make it real.

    And there is a second household in the game with four Imaginary Friends made real.

    At least 2 pairs of these Imaginary Friends made real have romantic interest with each other. Some are very pretty. It was just that little Bart looked so uninteresting that I had to change his features. I usually try to keep them exactly as they were when they are born or become real. But I had to operate on Bart. I haven't posted a pic of him yet since I changed him. He still looks basically the same I just tweaked him a bit. I don't go for making them the most attractive or beautiful sims, I like them to be different and interesting although I do go for beautiful some times.

    @king_of_simcity7 Tammy's back!
    It's a pretty town, but I wasn't inspired to play in it very long the one time I tried.
    Nice to see your sims back in the game.

    @Brandontaylor Thanks for commenting on the picture of Fillian. He sure was close!

    @MoonandStars83 now that would be fun watching toddlers fish!
    Sims townies sure are rude! They like to come fishing in the pond on my sims lot too.

    @MamaSimTee ::waves:: I like seeing what else I can come up with and sometimes they are just nice boxy houses. :lol:

    @Turjan What a great turnout for the gnome funeral.

    @Keljah08 Welcome back to the sims 3 and to the thread. Happy simming and good luck with the challenge.

    @Silverofdreams30 Thanks. Today was definitely a nice day working.
    Adam's parents! They are so beautiful.

    @PalmArrow hehe, he sure made something screech wrong. Love that picture of her face.
    I have that pattern of yours. Now that I have seasons back in I'll have to use it on a winter coat. I've used it on furniture a few times. It makes a lovely pattern for a love seat.
    Poor Gemma what a bad start to the day.
    I will try to give Mary a better life.

    @GraceyManor :smiley: Look forward to it!!

    @Duvelina Cool pics!

    @CravenLestat Wow! What a sad story and such mean people! :angry: It is not the end though, it is a new beginning for her. So..gimme, gimme! :wink: She looks so pretty in her frozen ghost state! I'm so looking forward to giving her another story.

    @emorrill I'm sure she will have a much happier time...eventually. :wink:
    Ewwww, I need some eye bleach. That Harvey/Penny mishmash is downright creepy.
    That is interesting that she used the all in one toilet to make her bathroom stall. It is cute though so I don't blame you for keeping it.
    :grin: I still think it looks like Shane is going hurl big time.
    That bamboo tree is cute!

    @ZeeGee That is a great pattern and your sim sure looks like she loves it.
    LIPS!!! She is rocking them!!

    The boys are still wandering around in the mountains. Another beautiful sunset.

    @Karritz Still, I may test that out in one of my saves.
    ****Great build.

    @Turjan So long as she was meant to die.
    ****They all entice me. I just like to change things up.
    ****GNOOOOMES!!

    @Keljah08 Good luck with your challenge. My saves always get borked before I can finish them.

    @king_of_simcity7 Congrats on remaking your Sims! I hope they like AS.
    ****Great pics!
    ****Glad to see the gang's all back together.

    @CravenLestat How exactly does one manage to be 2 hours ahead and not notice?
    ****Tragic story. Pretty Sim.
    ****I really wish branded/LE content was giftable...

    @PalmArrow I don't think I've ever seen a reaction to a failed performance before.
    ****Cute pics!
    ****Poor Evangeline.
    ****Gotta watch out for those bears.

    @Eurosim_7202 Congrats on the adoption.

    @Silverofdreams30 Great pics!

    @Duvelina Looks like she's having fun!

    @Nikkei_Simmer It appears as though their house has gotten larger...

    @Simsophonique I've never heard of that before.

    @Lucy_Henley We all know the lure of the Store.

    @emorrill Looks like they're really into each other.

    @ZeeGee Cute Sim.

    ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

    Tried to play my Farr save today, and it kept crashing, so I moved them to Monte Vista. Barek kept glitching out of the panel, so I tried to move him by going into Edit Town, but crashed again. I'll try moving him out via computer tomorrow. Hopefully it'll work and won't move the active household with him.
    I voted for you, Kevin.

    Well spent a couple hours redesigning my Uni hood to add the Equestrian center (equestrian club/riding classes), a LN dive bar, drive in Movie theater, a skateboard park (Jasumi's awesome skateboard mod), casino, a golf course (golfing classes), a gardening center and orchard for my green Sims, a Vet center (with the chicken coop, cow corral for my pre med/vet student sims), a camping park (big thank you to ATS3 Sandi for the Sims 4 to 3 CC conversion here), and a Marina (sailing/boating classes).

    The climax was supposed to be the marina with Sailboat classes. All that work, only to discover you can't go boating because the body of water on the map (north of the dorms) was designated as freshwater :#

    But oddly enough, your sims can go windsurfing (and perhaps snorkeling? IP scuba diving?) Haven't tested these out yet. But the inability to use sail boats or any kind of boats is absolutely infuriating. It doesn't make sense that the game is looking for a salt water designator before it will let your simmies enjoy themselves :|

    Anybody know what the water level height is for Uni world? Is it as low/non existent as Twinbrook?

    @ZeeGeen hello. Thanks. Enjoy your new obsesson. You did a great job of the striped pattern I saw you post here. I had a go at using that pattern tool but gave up after almost making one. Don't think I'll try again. Too many other things to do.

    @Evalen here are some pics. A lot of the crowd around the birthday cake are imaginary friends turned real. I'll try to get a pic with just all of the Imaginary Friends in the household.

    Here are a couple of better pics of Bart after I tweaked his face a bit. I might have to have another go at him when he ages up as he might look a bit odd as I didn't check him aged up. That's his 'owner' sitting next to him reading.
    Bart-2.jpg

    Bart-3.jpg

    James having his birthday. He's now a young adult. I needed him to age up so I could get his Imaginary Friend turned real to age up as well because I want her married to Chas so I can move them out. That's her in the blue dress with spots - she's got her back to us as she watches James blow out his candles. Her name is Prue. And Chas is standing behind James. He's spinning his toy in the air to celebrate. He's wearing his dark blue acrobat costume. He is Gary's Imaginary Friend turned real and is already a young adult. That's Gary standing next to him with his arms in the air cheering. Gary is Jame's elder brother.
    Gary.jpg

    Here is one of the numerous townies leaving the lot early in the morning. There were a few of them dressed as Festival lot workers.
    Going-To-Work-Crumplebottom.jpg

    I thought this chap looked interesting. I don't usually find townies in my games dressed in strange outfits - this one was borderline strange and amusing. He didn't seem to be in costume for any particular reason.
    Townie.jpg

    Here are a few of the visitors to the lot. They were there all night and started to leave after daylight. Probably all had to go to work, I know some of them headed off to work at the festival lot.
    Visitors.jpg

    I decided to build a fence all around the lot so they townies can be kept out. They are amusing to watch but probably a bit much to have 10 or more visitors who stay all night and play and cause mayhem around the place.

    They keep running out of money so the fence building process is taking a while.

    I think it's the Group Science Project that's attracting the visitors at night. I finally got Olivia to max the science skill and then I put her GSP out in the yard. She then was set to work on the green flame. I want my sims to learn skills faster - I hope this green flame works as well for this household as it did for Donna's household.

    Langerak Family Update, Part 1

    GiF6M2C.jpg
    First of all, this is the Sim @CravenLestat made for me. Her name is Cori Lucas and she wants to go into the science and medicine field. Unfortunately, her scholarship went to someone else and she can't afford University. That is when Dwight and Melanie Langerak stepped in and brought her into their home. This update will involve her and the Langeraks. (Photo was taken in a test save I'm using to recreate Sims and mess around in.)

    jM3OYNk.jpg
    As everyone was sleeping, no one saw Eric come to visit. He just wanted to say hello but no one was around.

    eGXSJwx.jpg
    As soon as 5:00 AM hit, L4U-Rn ran out the door to garden. I love how fast autonomy works with that chip. The money trees brought in about $5,000 so I was happy about that.

    KlM84mS.jpg
    As mentioned in my last bit of feedback, I just got University back last night and had fun playing it. Ariana and Quinton quit their jobs to get a college degree. This way they will come back with higher levels than a Sim with no degree. The family went out to the diner for their last meal as a family before Uni.

    9Kan3Am.jpg
    By the time they had finished, Cori had just arrived. The three young adults each took their entry test to see how many credits they got. Here are their results.
    Quinton Sekemoto: 6 credits in Fine Arts, no scholarship awarded.
    Cori Lucas: No credits, no scholarship but scored highest in science and medicine.
    Ariana Langerak: 6 credits in Technology, Science and Medicine, and also in Communications. Partial scholarship of $1000

    wsBEc1y.jpg
    After signing up, the three young adults said goodbye to Dwight, Melanie, and L4U-Rn and headed to the University world. Cori is in science, Quinton in Fine Arts, and Ariana is in Communications. Everyone signed up for 2 weeks but will need at least an additional week or two to finish.

    HKU3mCt.jpg
    Ariana spent some time getting to know Cori. Cori is shy and socially awkward so it's harder for her to make friends but she made one in Ariana. They even have attraction for each other, but I'm not going that route for these two.

    eLeos9f.jpg
    Quinton played his guitar while the two women chatted. He knew if he wanted to be a rockstar, you got to play that guitar.

    edquYTe.jpg
    All three went to the Meet and Greet together and each got a college related item. Ariana got a kicky bag for hers.

    f8cAxdq.jpg
    Cori was more interested in the science lab and went straight to work. She'd heard Sims U had a great science department and she couldn't wait to try everything out.

    wlRmNVV.jpg
    Ariana was meeting people but she had a trait incompatibility with Brian Petersen that caused them to both get bored of each other.

    S53dLwM.jpg
    Before bedtime, Ariana turned on Luke Bryan and danced, with Quinton and Cori soon joining in the fun.

    ***Played two more days at University last night but will save them for tomorrow.

    @king_of_simcity7 Great to see Tammy again! She's one of my favorite Sims of yours.
    You're welcome and I like those boots too. Emily wore them her whole life but couldn't see them when I changed her into pants.
    Great to see them all together!
    Awesome, never played in Aurora Skies but I like it.

    @MoonandStars83 You're lucky. Not sure about your area of Illinois but this Wednesday sounds like another round that may cause more wind, hail, and possibly an isolated tornado or two. One thing I read said a few supercells may develop too.
    Great pics from the Sykes save!

    @Karritz Great pics!

    @Turjan You're welcome. Yep, he has the disciplined trait. Can't remember them all of the top of my head but athletic is another.
    Love annoying the clerks, lol
    Thanks, now to see the baby. I'm guessing he'll be close to Evan in looks unless he inherits differently than the triplets.
    Gnome army!

    @Keljah08 Glad to hear you can play the game again!

    @CravenLestat Stinks when you wake up earlier than you have to. I'm guessing you didn't go back to sleep?
    By the way, Cori looks great in game! Still says I'm missing something but it may just be a pattern or something I don't have.

    @PalmArrow I like the looks of the venue.
    Looks like everyone had a good time.
    Great pattern photoshoot!

    @Nikkei_Simmer Man, you are lucky. Have more bad severe weather possible on Wednesday so it seems I better work on the Ava story some tomorrow.

    Page 3923

    @Evalen Barry definitely is a good looking alien, can't wait to see Nakita.

    @king_of_simcity7 Forgot that hair came with Aurora Skies. It's still a pretty world but wish they'd make the hair separate from the world.
    Hope they all learn some valuable skills. Going to need that for their jobs.
    Humara always looks like she's got something up her sleeve.
    TV is a great way to get Sims to socialize. Got to utilize whatever you can in the game.

    @Silverofdreams30 Great throwback pics of earlier Sims!
    Wow, did not know they are Adams parents.

    @Duvelina Think that is a good title for it. Great seeing all of Cassandra's adventures in the future. Did they tell her what happened with Bella or not? :wink:

    @PalmArrow Don't you hate when the shower breaks before they get their showers?
    Love the Starlight Shores scenery!
    Well, what more does the proprietor want?

    @Nikkei_Simmer Wow, the house certainly expanded!

    @CravenLestat Sad story about Mary. Hope she haunts those girls from now on, looking forward to seeing what @bekkasan does with her.

    @emorrill I love the pics where Sims are merged, lol
    Bummer only one Sim can use that.
    Hang in there Shane, it'll get better soon enough.

    ***One more page and I'm caught up. Not playing tonight as I have some things I want to do. This is why I'm saving the rest of the update, I want something to share tomorrow.

    @emorrill Cool about Animal Crossing. Looks fun but have never played it or the original. Wasn't the original out in the 90's or something?
    That stinks, hope you can find something or someone knows of something.

    @ZeeGee Awesome patterns and nice pictures!
    Also, enjoyed your latest video. Watched it about an hour ago.

    @bekkasan You're welcome.
    Sky and trees combined make for great scenery in that picture.

    @MoonandStars83 Hope your save works again.

    @Karritz Great update!

    ***Had three pages of feedback to do so didn't leave as many comments as I usually do. I enjoyed everyone's updates, hope you all have a great day, regardless of the time.

    Thanks everyone! Having a blast with TS3 again.

    @Brandontaylor Cassandra did meet her descendants. There were a whole bunch of them, but she didn't pursue it besides one day of hanging out. It would have been cool if they could have solved the mystery of Bella Goth. 😂 But I'm afraid that's going to be unsolved forever.

    @king_of_simcity7 , I remember that you said that the name Humara comes from Ganhumara which is a form of Guinever/Jennifer, but I never made the connection that she was Jennifer's evil counterpart!

    @emorrill , you made me laugh with that blend of Harvey and Penny! :smiley:
    I'm not surprised the Sims 4 converted toilet works that way, because the creator had to use the animations from an existing Sims 3 object. But you are right, it's pretty enough to keep in the game regardless!

    @ZeeGee , i would never have guessed that those were your first ever patterns, because they are amazing! Beautiful pictures, too!

    @emorrill and @CravenLestat , I only play the free mobile version of Animal Crossing, but even that is addictive!

    @bekkasan , what a gorgeous sunset!

    @Brandontaylor , I'm looking forward to more about Cori, Ariana and Quinton at University!

    Yep, Adam got his looks from his dad.
    this was before they had children though.
    Is that screenshots from your new pc? Looks beautiful.

    They are all different. I took them all into CAS and gave them new CC skins but only one was totally zero slider. But I didn't check the slider positions of the others. I'll post a few pics and you can decide for yourself if they are all zero slider sims. I don't know if there is a mod for it.

    Connie - started out as Cosmo. Two Cosmos were male and she was female. I was expecting 3 identical sims because two of them came out of the inventory of two versions of the same sim. Obviously the appearance of the IF when made real is determined at the time they become real.

    Connie as a Young Adult
    ConnieYA001.jpg

    As a side note, when Haley (from Isla Paradiso Bunch) gave birth she had a little girl and the game glitched. Then I reloaded the save and she gave birth again. Another little girl. I expected them to be identical but they weren't. They are very alike but they had different skins and there are some subtle differences. I cheated a bit and managed to get them both into the game and they are currently children. I give them different clothes and hair but they still have different skins.

    Janice as a child. She started out as Jelly bean.

    There are 3 IFs and a plant sim in this pic

    There are a few more but I don't have screen shots of them all and the ones that are missing are in a different world at the moment.

    EDIT: Found some more pics.

    This is Mateo - he is another Cosmo.
