    Peeks in and says hello everyone.

    Look what I have!

    Buddy Letter form:

    Username: Puddinroy

    Link to your Sims 3 My Page:https://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/Puddinroy (read no. 3 listed above!)

    I have installed the following Expansion Packs:ALL

    I have installed the following Stuff Packs:ALL except for Fast Lane.

    I own the following Store Content: Most of it.

    I own the following EA-made Worlds: Riverview, Twinbrook, SunsetValley, Lucky Palms, Lunar Lakes, Hidden Springs, Midnight Hollow, Moonlight Falls, Barncale Bay, Dragon Valley and Apposla Plains

    Some of my favorite colors are: BRIGHT COLORS

    I really don’t like this color: PINK, OR LIKE GIRLY PINK

    I love to use items from this set: Anything

    I prefer to play in this EA-made World:Lunar Lakes

    I enjoy playing in this custom world (please include link):https://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/Rflong7

    ANY OF THEIR WORLDS

    I enjoy this style of build the most: GET CREATIVE(Examples: Craftsman, Victorian, Modern)

    I really don’t want this in my game:N/A

    I would or would not like lots in the following sizes: (If you’re a fan of tiny lots, then here is a great place to mention that! If larger lots make your game lag while loading them, mention it!) Just the normal sized lots. :)

    I want/don’t want berry sims: ALL COLORS OF SIMS ARE GREAT.

    I want/don’t want occult sims: (Be sure to specifically list those that you are fine with or mention which ones you don’t want to see in your game!) ANY. I will warn you, I'm not very good with vampires. Teeheee

    I want/don’t want pets in the household: (Like cats more than dogs? Prefer cute puppies to horses? Don’t want any critters? Mention it!) I would like a dog or two. Prefabbly a mini schnuazer and a keeshond.

    Do you want your sims and/or pets skilled up for you? If so, how much? (Example: A couple of points, but not maxed out) Yes, a couple of points in cooking, fishing, gardening. The dogs 1 point please.

    Are there certain skills you want skilled because you really like having them ready when you start with a new sim or household? (Example: A few points in Cooking would be nice so sims don’t burn the grilled cheese and can make more than a mean bowl of cereal!) Points in cooking

    Are there particular skill items that you really like having in a build? (Example: I love having sims that can cook, garden, paint and write so having those skilling objects would be awe-sim!) Collecting. The gem cutter from Supernatural.

    How do your sims travel around town? Taxi ... vehicle ... bicycle/scooter ... horse ... broom? (Mention your preference and whether you want a parking spot or two, garage, bike racks, stable, broom stand. Some sims prefer to put transportation in their inventory, if applicable.) Is it bad that most of the sims I play don't have a car.

    Other: (Describe here anything that you’d really like that might or might not have been previously mentioned!) I love the WWE. It would be cool if a Jeff Hardy sim was made.

    Here would be a good place to mention what you do NOT feel comfortable making. There are Simmers who don’t enjoy occult things … they shouldn’t have to create that for another or receive that type of gift in return. This is just one example off the top of my head and I’m sure there are other preferences I haven’t thought of. If you would rather send a private message to me with your answer, please feel free to do so.


    This text is to certify that I have read ALL the posts and will follow the rules for participation as well as pay attention to important dates.

    Your Buddy will <3 what you make for them!

    Buddy Letter form:

    Username: SimLibby

    Link to your Sims 3 My Page: https://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/SimLibby

    I have installed the following Expansion Packs *: Worldadventures, Ambitions and Late Night. The holiday’s are around the corner so I’m going to install Seasons for this gift exchange as well. Seems fitting, right.

    I have installed the following Stuff Packs *: Fast Lane.

    * Please don’t go by what is listed on My Page. With what I currently have installed and all my store items it already takes long to load.

    I own the following Store Content:
    • Premium content: All except Wood Fire Oven and Dragons.
    • Venues: All except The Golden Ticket Toy Shop (Thanks to Kylieb191 I do own The Titanic Toy Machine).
    • Worlds: All except Monte Vista and Dragon Valley.
    • Build/Buy: All.
    • Create a Sim: I own a lot but not all. If you would like I can provide a detailed list of this section. I started making such list but I’m not sure if that is helping anybody. It probably just clutters somebody's mind, like it did with me so I stopped making this list and prefer not to make such list.
    • Sets: All except Fifth Avenue Fashions, Homecoming, Runway Riot, Loud, Fast, Clash! – Attire, Everyday Teens Collection, Date Night.
    • Free stuff **: I own lots of free stuff except that Dr Pepper stuff, Katy Perry Poster, shopmode only, achievement items, promotions, no longer available for free or even at all: first row #5, second row #4, 5, 6, third row #6 and 7, fourth and fifth row all.
    ** I used this comment as reference/to clarify: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/6786144/#Comment_6786144

    I own the following EA-made Worlds: All except Monte Vista and Dragon Valley.

    Some of my favorite colors are: I like natural colors, earthy tones, greens, blues mostly turquoise, shades of purple and pink and muted yellows (I copied a big part of that sentence from Hidehi’s buddy letter, thank you). Other colors are fine too.

    I really don’t like this color: Nothing to busy, bright or hyperactive (or in moderation/balanced out with the rest of the colors).

    I love to use items from this set: So many cool sets so I’m not going to pick and choose. I use many items of many different sets in my creations. I’m very much into details and decorating my builds (but I keep my builds calm and not overly crowded), love to use flowers and plants in them, and I like to have my builds with plenty of activities for Sims.

    I prefer to play in this EA-made World: Sunset Valley and Lucky Palms. Although this might gets extended since recently I got some extra EA worlds where I have not played yet extensively.

    I enjoy playing in this custom world: N/A.

    I enjoy this style of build the most: In no particular order Farm (house), Wild West, Suburban, Cottage, Cabin, Craftsman.

    I really don’t want this in my game: Custom Content. No rooms for Sims up to teen (it can be in the game, of course, only I prefer it to not be on the residential lots I play with): I don’t like playing with kids of any age form in The Sims 3. Some other buddies have written things that applies to me as well so I’m going to copy a bit: I don’t like playing with big households (I tend to play with one Sim at a time. Two is fine too). I don’t usually like anything taller than 3-story in a build. No very rich Sims.

    I would or would not like lots in the following sizes: Please nothing larger then 40x40 and no odd lot seizes from the world editor, the library or worlds like for example Sunlit Tides. Just plain default lot seizes (20x30, 30x40, 30x30, 40x40).

    I want/don’t want berry Sims: You mean Sims in crazy colors like green, purple, pink or something? No berry Sims please.

    I want/don’t want occult Sims: No occult Sims please. If I go occult, I prefer to make my Sim(s) occult during gameplay and not directly from CAS. Depending of the type of build, I do not mind occult stuff/activities/decorations in builds or in parts of the build.

    I want/don’t want pets in the household: I love animals (I have a cat <3, a naughty sweet little monster). However, I often don’t have Pets installed because it takes more of the graphics. Therefore it’s best not to make me a pet.

    Do you want your Sims and/or pets skilled up for you? No thank you. I prefer to do that myself.

    Are there certain skills you want skilled because you really like having them ready when you start with a new Sim or household? No thank you. I prefer to skill up myself. It’s also not needed to improve appliances in builds. I enjoy doing those things myself.

    Are there particular skill items that you really like having in a build? I like such items, I use them myself. I leave it up to my buddy which skill items are going to be used, if you want to use them.

    How do your Sims travel around town? Taxi ... vehicle ... bicycle/scooter ... horse ... broom? Taxi, car, motor, bicycle or scooter. Depends on my Sim and the available funds. No horse or broom. A place for parking would be nice.

    Other: I mostly play with a YA female single Sim, with aging off, and love Worldadventures (and collecting treasures and collectibles while there) and transfiguration when my Sim is back from vacation. I also like the real estate system of the game very much and gardening. One of my favorite places to live with my Sim is on the water in Lucky Palms. I’m not into marriage, the constant parties my Sim gets invited too frequently (all in moderation), making babies for my Sims, starting a family, legacy’s and such.

    Here would be a good place to mention what you do NOT feel comfortable making. I can’t think of anything.

    This text is to certify that I have read ALL the posts and will follow the rules for participation as well as pay attention to important dates. Check ;). I have written down all the dates in my calendar which is hanging in my kitchen.

    Wow, @Mmdrgntobldrgn, that is my kind of spread! I started off grabbing a couple orange slices and pomegranate seeds. Then I grabbed a few berries and a cute little kiwi star. Then, I saw the avocado and those awesome seed crackers. I LOVED munching on the spread you provided, but I did leave lots for everyone else!

    So glad to see a couple more letters! I love reading about how everyone prefers something just a little different in the game.

    Hey, @TnT_Terry! GREAT to see you here. There is a separate gift exchange that runs at different times than the Sims 3 one, I think. You are welcome to lurk though!
