@BlackSand What the heck did he catch while fishing?
...
Deathfish ... But there is a process required, that is not cheating.
Once your Sim is capable of catching Deathfish. they can do so at any cemetery
They will also be able to 'Stock a Pond' at that point.
Since the value of fish (any) increases as you gain skill ... The value of the Deathfish you catch will continue to increase forever.
Since you can stock a pond ... You can make a spot where you can catch Deathfish any time of the day (takes 10 fish in your inventory).
Note: Ponds also freeze over in the Winter if you are using Seasons.
At that point (assuming you have bait 'Anglefish') you can start on the path to catching fish that are worth more than 3k each (and increasing).
You can buy Alley Catfish (bait) at the Grocery Store, and fish for Angelfish (bait) wherever.
Then you can go catch 3 Deathfish for close to 10k in no time.
If your Sim is bringing home 10k plus in a day, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want.
Plus the multiplier gets larger as you continue to catch fish.
You will eventually be able to catch one Deathfish for 5k (or more) first thing in the morning, and travel the world if you feel like it ...
Sorry if none of that makes any sense ... Or I misunderstood your question.
A friend's son is headed to college tomorrow, there was a party, and I am drunk as a skunk right now ...
@bekkasan Hi there! I'm glad you read my story, and there's an update coming soon. VERY soon Summer holidays are incredibly busy, not much time for writing! Honestly, I'm being incredibly lazy as wel I've been on holiday on the Atlantic coast, then we switched to the Mediterranean and now I'm back in the Alps, trying to cope with the incredible heatwave washing over us
@Brandontaylor Thank you for reading such a long story as The Grey's I've finished a new chapter and am reading through it so I can post it for the upcoming weekend!
@CravenLestat Cool picture of the beginning of the thread. I didn't start on the thread until much later. I've gone back and looked at some of the stories and simmers from back then and sure do miss some folks.
@BlackSand Thank you so much for the giggle. I needed it after work yesterday.
Sneak Peek
"Ah, Plum ... Is that dog poo?"
I'm enjoying your story very much. I love that picture of Curtis entering the town with the mountains in the background. Hmm, wonder who is buying up all the properties.
@emorrill Thanks for reposting hottie Shane's picture!
Alex and Sam look great!
I lol at you with the real Sam photo. Silly!
@Lashin Seb is certainly sowing his wild oats all across the town.
I didn't tell you about the dive lot. @BlackSand did.
@Brandontaylor Thanks for the comments on the picture. Glad you guys are ok.
Bummer about your Uncle. I read on the internet about a man in a semi getting blown over and some folks stopping to help him. Had to be your Uncle. Glad he is ok and back home.
@GraceyManor Goodness Claire is not nice at all, but she is honest about her intentions. Hopefully, William will get wise and take care of the situation at some point.
That was nice of Cosette to take him some food and talk to him about the situation.
@MoonandStars83 Sorry, your power was out for so long. Nova is very pretty.
@Evalen I see they are starting to work on the inside. It is great they are finding things they can make use of for the home.
@jillbg Great news! I'm looking forward to more of your story!
Glad you've had a busy holiday and it sounds fun going to all those places. Yeah, can appreciate the heat issues. The heat index is over 100 around here most days. It's not killing that virus either.
@BlackSand My bad! But thank you so much for the tips on creating a dive lot ^_^ I will have to try that!
@bekkasan Yep! Seb has even reaped the first eight - or nine, I should say - harvests!
Marigold Maldano's daughter - Shantel - is the eldest, and she's a Witch like her father.
Miriam Hoppcraft's son - Levar - is also a Witch... and both Miriam and Alfred now have two Supernatural children to deal with, which is a Supernatural Sceptic's worst nightmare come true.
Annie Nix's son - Corey - is a normal Sim like his mom.
Helen Hall had twin daughters - Alissa, a normal Sim; Natasha, a Witch - and they live with her and the Goth ghosts.
Dahlia Goodfellow actually didn't fall pregnant as Seb's fifth RI... more on that later!
Belinda Crumplebottom's son - Dirk - is a Witch like both his parents.
Her sister Beatrice's son - Jess - is also a Witch.
Joanie MacDuff's son - Corey - is also a Witch.
As stated in the last post, Seb asked Joanie MacDuff on a date, and they became RIs... while Rainflower Ivy is booing them.
After they successfully try for a baby, Seb dumps her and bolts for home.
The next morning, his new mark is Serena Durwood... and her poor husband, Rick, is none the wiser.
However, their son Zack is VERY annoyed. Not that it stops Seb, who's now a Player at this point.
They successfully try for a baby...
Then he dumps her and bolts...
...for the Library! Where he meets his old flame, Dahlia Goodfellow!
Who, unfortunately, did not fall pregnant.
Do bear in mind, Argus Brown made a comment about her and Pip's marriage being on the rocks. I think I might take Dahlia in once Seb's done sowing his wild oats throughout the town, and give her the Slimeball reputation. I've always wanted to play all three reputations in the same household!
Anywho, Seb and Dahlia reconciled with a Heat of the Moment Kiss... and had their date the next morning in the park, right before Dahlia was due to go to work.
Once they've successfully tried for a baby, he dumps her and bolts...
...while she does a stride of pride as she nurses a broken heart.
Seb's next mark was at the library, named Haley Sumari.
After they try for a baby successfully, Seb dumps her, while she dumps the contents of her bladder on the floor...
Seb had already befriended Linda Rodgers some time ago, but it was now time to make his moves on her after asking her out on a date.
Anyway, they successfully try for a baby...
Then, in the pouring rain, he dumps her and bolts.
Seb then proceeds to head to the gym, where all three Crumplebottom sisters, a very pregnant Serena Durwood, and her clueless husband Rick... are present and all are none the wiser as Seb makes his moves on the youngest Crumplebottom sister - Bianca.
After they successfully try for a baby...
Seb dumps her, but strangely she's OK with it... why? Because she's got Commitment Issues!
Well there's one issue she will HAVE to commit to: single motherhood.
@GraceyManor ...
Great Update, Claire might have been blunt, but that has it's benefits.
If you are going to be living with a tyrant ... It's a lot better if they are an outright tyrant than a wolf in sheep's clothing.
@MoonandStars83 ...
Good luck sorting things out with your saves.
Nova is also a lovely Sim ...
@Evalen ...
Looks like the Dexters have been busy at it.
That fabric they found went great with the furniture they put together.
@bekkasan ...
Glad you got a giggle if you needed one.
Being the total nerd that I am, when pausing the game and looking around, I often think up imaginary things my Sims are thinking or saying.
Excellent capture with your screenshot.
Three cheers for Sims 3 ... Awesome game and opportunities.
@Lashin ...
It awesome to see that Seb is committed to something ...
Of course I know the meteor was intended for him.
The game does that when you mess around with married folks all the time.
My Sim Lonny Lovelace was doing the same thing during a 112 Day Challenge.
They barely got out of the tent in time ... And it destroyed everything in his camp.
He had to finish the rest of the challenge taking occasional naps on benches at the library or in the park.
OMG...that's gorgeous... @bekkasan. Love the colors in that sunset. I need to get a computer that can handle that kind of graphics settings with a dedicated graphics card.
I love it when the sun combines with "camera settings" to pull together a fiery sunset in real life as well as in the computer.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
Curtis was able to find a lot with a house in his price range.
Unfortunately, it was listed in the Sheriff’s Sale after being seized from criminals.
The clerk at the courthouse where he signed the papers had warned him …
It was going to need some work.
Nicholas was the first to show up while Curtis was still trying to figure out where to start.
Nicholas ”Hey Curtis … I thought I heard you roll in …
Brought that book by and left it inside.
Man … Did you know this place was a dump?
And I don’t mean that like it needs a little work …
It’s literally a dump.”
Curtis ”Price Nick … Yeah, I knew what I was getting.
But when I showed up in Hidden Springs for the challenge …
I didn’t look much better.”
Nicholas
Laughing to try and lighten the mood …
”Well, we could take some of these tires,
a book of matches, and grab a package of hotdogs.
I don’t know how much of this place you can salvage.”
Curtis ”I had plenty of time to think about things in lock-up.
It’s not about where you start … It’s where you finish.
Potential Nick … I see potential in this place.
If nothing else, Susan taught me how to extract value out of a rock.”
“This place may never be the Taj Mahal …
But it can be more than a dump.”
Nicholas ”Well let me go see if I can borrow a truck.
I’m off today, and there is no time like the present to start working around here.
We can haul some of this stuff to the City Dump.
I appreciate your help with the book and my present for Carol.”
Curtis ”Thanks Nick, you’ve been inside already, what’s it like in there?
I’m almost dreading to look.”
Nicholas ”Looks like the cops probably tossed the place when they busted the guys living here.
But … I think someone has been in there since.
If you ask me, I think the yard is worse than inside.
It’s structurally sound, and there aren’t any holes in the walls if that makes you feel better about looking.”
Curtis took a look inside after Nicholas went to borrow a truck.
Nicholas had been correct, the yard was in worse shape than the inside.
It was all doable … He could fix this place.
@bekkasan Lovely shot! What world is that? i dont know if i dont pay much notice to the worlds i play in but i dont seem to get pretty skies like that while i see many people have beautiful night skies and such. I only play in ea worlds, btw.
The Winterly’s
Not long after Nicholas left to find a truck, and to Curtis’ surprise …
Peter and Adele Winterly came popping around the corner of the house.
In pure Adele Winterly style … She took no time in going off on Curtis.
Adele ”Lord Child … What in the world have you gotten yourself into with this nasty mess of a place?
Don’t tell me you have anything to do with those plum drug dealers that were up in here.
Don’t you be getting yourself in any trouble young man …
I will still put you over my knee.”
Curtis could not help but chuckle at Adele’s antics.
He was completely surprised to see the two of them.
He had helped their son with homework a few times …
but had not expected them to really care enough to show up.
Curtis ”Peter, Adele … What a pleasant surprise.
I would invite you inside, but the place is a wreck and the rats still own the bathroom.
How did you find out I was … “
Peter Winterly took the opportunity to interrupt and clear things up about that.
Peter ”Son … You ought to know by now Adele has her ways.
The two of us invited Nicholas over to the house two nights ago, and she sniffed out something was up.
She waved a plate with a big fat slice of her key lime pie under his nose …
It wasn’t a minute later and he was singing like a canary.
That boy didn’t have a chance …
I’ve seen stronger men break in the face of Adele’s key lime pie.
Heck, I married her.”
Peter Continued ”We won’t take up too much of your time …
But the two of us couldn’t pass up the chance to stop by and welcome you back to Hidden Springs.
We both thought what BlackSand Industries did to you and Susan was wrong.
Taking all your money … Like they don’t have enough.
I was going to give them a call and let them have a piece of my mind …
but those sorry individuals don’t care.
Like I said, we’ll get out of your hair, looks like you got some work to do.
Don’t be a stranger though …
There’s a lot of people who feel the same way we do, and you might be surprised about our community.
Thanks for giving us another chance.”
Cuirtis ”Well thanks for stopping by, and I cannot express how much it means to me.
Adele … I promise I have nothing to do with any of the people who lived here before.
I asked Nicholas not to say anything because I was unsure about what the people here thought.
Y’all have helped me see that coming back here might not have been a bad choice.
I’ll be around and keep in touch …
I’ll stay out of trouble too.”
The three of them traded some more pleasantries before the couple made a strategic exit …
long before Nicholas returned with a truck.
Curtis did manage to overhear their conversation as they were leaving.
Peter ”Adele, I swear that is your old car over there.
Lord have mercy, it could tell some stories about the two of us running the roads way back then.”
Adele ”If you know what’s good for you … You better hush.
And I think there’s still some key lime pie left in the fridge.”
I'm so mean to my dog... Everytime he finds an empty chip bag, snakeskin, maple leaf or feather. "Well...that's another three searches you get to load up on again..." He found five snake skins, a maple leaf and a feather. Well...he's going to be out all ~bleep~ing night.

@bekkasan Heard the Russians' got a vaccine - not yet very tested, though Trying to keep out of harm's way, worrying a bit over how to manage classes in a couple of weeks from now...
On Monday (Week 1) Brittany had already drank a potent invigorating elixir as I had kept her up late Sunday night. Her social motive was getting low so I made her call a university friend as she doesn't know anyone in Sunset Valley yet.
Trying on her daycare uniform for the first time, Brittany went downstairs to chat with any random Sim on the computer. As luck would have it, she met Christopher Steel who will be her husband in the near future. He was her husband in the last attempts and that will stay the same this time. She made them best friends by using the transmogrifying app soon after.
The two toddler's Brittany got were Sam Sekemoto and Sandi French. Of course, at the start of the game, they are the only two toddlers around. Marty and Justine had a kid during this day too so looking forward to getting him later on. Also, Brittany hired a maid as that is part of the requirements for this season.
This time, the roommates are Abraham Finkel and Sue Scotch. As you can see, they already aren't getting along. I ended up changing one of Sue's traits so maybe she'll be nicer to him.
When she finally got the kids settled down and taken care of, Brittany put them in the baby swings and then ordered a pizza. While she was eating, Leighton and Molly picked their kids up.
With the work day being done, Brittany got her performance bar halfway up. She left home for a shopping trip at the alchemy store as well as putting all of her Tiberium on consignment.
Between Monday night and Tuesday morning, Brittany did some hunting in her own yard. She found some nice items but not the ones I'm missing. She did get more Tiberium though.
Tuesday's work was very similar to Monday's. Brittany took care of the toddlers until their needs were met, then put them in the swings. This got her first promotion to level 2. Now she has a few more promotions left. Now, I need to mention one thing. Those of you who remember the last attempt know that I ended jobs as soon as she hit level 10 (or 5 in the case of the daycare). This time though, I'll be staying until the required weeks are over. Most jobs are 4 weeks but some are only 2 weeks.
Work was over so I had Brittany alternate between alchemy and hunting. She has a few more levels to go before she hits the top of the skill.
The Tiberium money came in and Brittany gained $377,000 for it. This gave her a total of $600,000 something so I bought her a very nice car.
After visiting the alchemy store again, Brittany used her newly purchased fairy elixir to turn Dustin Langerak into a fairy. This will keep him around a while and also help Brittany on her Throw 50 Elixirs skill challenge.
Before work, Brittany chatted with Abraham to get to know him. Then we got new toddlers named David Fischer and Deana Fischer as well as Sam Sekemoto. Sandi aged up so she didn't return.
Now Sue and Abraham get along. I changed their hair and used MC to give Abraham a job, but I didn't put Sue in that outfit. That's her randomized career outfit she wears at the hospital.
***The second half will be coming up after feedback. It'll continue this day and the next.

Deathfish ... But there is a process required, that is not cheating.
Once your Sim is capable of catching Deathfish. they can do so at any cemetery
They will also be able to 'Stock a Pond' at that point.
Since the value of fish (any) increases as you gain skill ... The value of the Deathfish you catch will continue to increase forever.
Since you can stock a pond ... You can make a spot where you can catch Deathfish any time of the day (takes 10 fish in your inventory).
Note: Ponds also freeze over in the Winter if you are using Seasons.
At that point (assuming you have bait 'Anglefish') you can start on the path to catching fish that are worth more than 3k each (and increasing).
You can buy Alley Catfish (bait) at the Grocery Store, and fish for Angelfish (bait) wherever.
Then you can go catch 3 Deathfish for close to 10k in no time.
If your Sim is bringing home 10k plus in a day, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want.
Plus the multiplier gets larger as you continue to catch fish.
You will eventually be able to catch one Deathfish for 5k (or more) first thing in the morning, and travel the world if you feel like it ...
Sorry if none of that makes any sense ... Or I misunderstood your question.

Curtis was able to find a lot with a house in his price range.
Unfortunately, it was listed in the Sheriff’s Sale after being seized from criminals.

As luck would have it, she met Christopher Steel who will be her husband in the near future. He was her husband in the last attempts and that will stay the same this time. She made them best friends by using the transmogrifying app soon after.
The two toddler's Brittany got were Sam Sekemoto and Sandi French. Of course, at the start of the game, they are the only two toddlers around. Marty and Justine had a kid during this day too so looking forward to getting him later on. Also, Brittany hired a maid as that is part of the requirements for this season.
This time, the roommates are Abraham Finkel and Sue Scotch. As you can see, they already aren't getting along. I ended up changing one of Sue's traits so maybe she'll be nicer to him.
When she finally got the kids settled down and taken care of, Brittany put them in the baby swings and then ordered a pizza. While she was eating, Leighton and Molly picked their kids up.
With the work day being done, Brittany got her performance bar halfway up. She left home for a shopping trip at the alchemy store as well as putting all of her Tiberium on consignment.
Between Monday night and Tuesday morning, Brittany did some hunting in her own yard. She found some nice items but not the ones I'm missing. She did get more Tiberium though.
Tuesday's work was very similar to Monday's. Brittany took care of the toddlers until their needs were met, then put them in the swings. This got her first promotion to level 2. Now she has a few more promotions left. Now, I need to mention one thing. Those of you who remember the last attempt know that I ended jobs as soon as she hit level 10 (or 5 in the case of the daycare). This time though, I'll be staying until the required weeks are over. Most jobs are 4 weeks but some are only 2 weeks.
Work was over so I had Brittany alternate between alchemy and hunting. She has a few more levels to go before she hits the top of the skill.
The Tiberium money came in and Brittany gained $377,000 for it. This gave her a total of $600,000 something so I bought her a very nice car.
After visiting the alchemy store again, Brittany used her newly purchased fairy elixir to turn Dustin Langerak into a fairy. This will keep him around a while and also help Brittany on her Throw 50 Elixirs skill challenge.
Before work, Brittany chatted with Abraham to get to know him. Then we got new toddlers named David Fischer and Deana Fischer as well as Sam Sekemoto. Sandi aged up so she didn't return.
Now Sue and Abraham get along. I changed their hair and used MC to give Abraham a job, but I didn't put Sue in that outfit. That's her randomized career outfit she wears at the hospital.
***The second half will be coming up after feedback. It'll continue this day and the next.
