    @king_of_simcity7
    This just popped up on my Facebook timeshare. I did not realise that I made Stacy on New Years Day 2019. I knew it was at the start of 2019 but not as far back as that!
    ^Wow.
    And New Years Day 2019 seems like a lifetime ago after these past couple of years following... :neutral:

    Can you believe I starting writing my Sam Beckett story 5 years ago!? :open_mouth:




    So you gonna start sharing more of your stories and gameplay? :)

    Happy New Year. Didn't play today but my team lost 2-1, though they did play brilliantly against the League Champions, they're still fourth in the League though and with some tough games coming up, but the Transfer Window is open for the month so they could make some sales and purchases (Half the team are in the last two years of their Contracts, so long-term replacements are vital)

    Just a random (close-up) picture of the My Little Ponies Sandy at ATS3 created for her Advent Calendar gifts this year. :blush:

    @Silverofdreams30 Thank you. Looks like Morgana - your version looks stunning btw - has some good line-up to choose from :smile: . And if she can't decide, she can just keep all three :smiley: .

    @emorrill Thank you, good you got a laugh out of it :smile: . And yeah, my game needs some housekeeping. I wish it was easier to sort through custom content.
    I'll keep the Stardew Valley stuff in spoilers:
    Yes, my explanation was too short, given I didn't want to get too much off-topic. Your first idea was correct: Alex doesn't do it for me. His problem isn't his focus on athletics and not much else - except hair gel maybe - but that he is dumb as a fence post. He has a sad backstory, yes, but you don't spend your life with someone because of a feel of charity (except your professional life - maybe). I've seen every villager's 10-heart event (I had my char buy 12 bouquets - Pierre didn't judge), and I know what Alex's 14=heart event is - just No.

    To make it short: I went with Abigail. She's quite interesting. Though she seems to be mostly interested in eating, at least eating rocks doesn't yield many calories, and we have the money to pay for the dentist's bills (j/k). Her 14-heart event is one of those moments of ludo-narrative dissonance this game has so many of. It makes a big deal of one monster you probably killed hundreds of at that point. But the whole game has that issue, and it's nice to walk past that little grave once in a while.

    The other villagers:
    The girls fare a bit better than the guys, I think.
    Emily - Does that girl ever slow down? And I don't share her interest in the healing magic of crystals or clothes. Funny event in the woods, but sorry.
    Haley - I understand the hate she seems to get from the community (first impressions), but she actually turns around admirably. She will always overthink everything and hardly ever really relax. Solid choice, I guess.
    Leah - probably my second choice, given we both know what she wants, and I think it's something that's compatible with farm life.
    Maru - I don't mind that she is a bright girl, but I mind that she needs to emphasize all the time how much brighter than the farmer she is. Also, she really should do something else with her life than sit on a farm.
    Penny - I wanted to have a dialog option to tell her: "If you think that your dissatisfaction with your living situation and your disapproval of your mother's drinking and cleaning habits is enough to base a life with somebody else on, you are sorely mistaken." Hard pass. I found that attempt to try to whine herself into my char's life off-putting.
    The rest of the guys:
    Elliot - He seems nice enough, but he's nice enough as a neighbor.
    Harvey - Unlike your version, he has low self-esteem and is deep in depression - I can imagine why he often stands at the river - but he has a nice turn-around when you get to know him better. Really charming. Solid choice, I guess. Also, still has a job after marriage.
    Sam - Scatterbrained, but remarkably resourceful when it's necessary. He actually takes the initiative into the relationship, and he organizes the band. Then again, you probably destroy all that when you bring him onto the farm, where he basically does nothing anymore.
    Sebastian - Actually has a job and earns real money. Then again, he never does anything to achieve his dreams, but stays in his emo role. He needs a kick, not a room on a farm where he will always stay a stranger.
    Shane - This may be "helper syndrome, the game" but my helper syndrome has limits. I understand that you succeed half-way to turn him around, but I think it would be a constant struggle. Not sure I would want to organize my life around something like that.

    And those were too many words. Anyway, I can appreciate how those characters contrast with your versions :smile:

    Oh, Sims3? I sometimes ask myself what crosses the mind of the person who hires the personnel that staffs the kissing booths.

    Maggie scored a date with the hottest up and coming doctor in Bridgeport, Indi Nicholson.
    q6sDX2U.png

    She was ready togo and meet him at a local dance club, but things weren't going great for her...
    LVFzXbS.png
    0KeYzOl.png

    Tonight was a full moon, but it still startled me to see a zombie standing outside of Maggie's apartment.
    BVVuEIP.png

    Yep, not weird at all.
    eYTPkNJ.png

    We made it to the club in one piece.
    oR5ffru.png

    Low and behold, while she was chatting up her date a zombie COMES OUT OF THE GROUND right next to them.
    Talk about frightening.
    A9mdp4e.png

    Oh well, let's not let zombies ruin the night.
    Maggie ordered a round of drinks for her and Indi.
    uOelf1G.png
    6v9Wmxy.png
    xbn45Ze.png

    They danced a little...
    GneO8Fj.png

    Well, actually a lot. I queued up a few different interactions for them to do together, play shuffle-board, sit in the hot tub, but they kept going back to dancing. No problem with that. :)
    QI8U8Hw.png

    Maggie went to use the bathroom, she came back to see Indi dancing on the table. Seems like he had to much to drink, lol.
    CLdsYHH.png

    Maybe tonight wasn't the best night to go out, this was the second zombie attack of the night.
    qGbU25K.png

    The night was coming to a close, as was the bar. The date seemed to have gone well.
    I guess they stayed out all night, the sun was already coming up.
    38ZvbC9.png

    While they were both waiting for their taxi's Maggie managed to sneak in a kiss.
    59aOElH.png

    The date was a success!
    Hopefully there will be more to come. :)

    Sorry for not sharing screenshots, but I had some unexpected (because I'm inexperienced?) things happen that were the kinds of surprises I love about Sims 3.

    So I have an Sixamite/Human household headed by two married dads, and their three alien/human-hybrid offspring, and a clone made, ironically, by the oldest son once he came home with his medical degree...from DNA he asked his father for a sample of. So he cloned his own dad and then the household had another baby to raise. Oops.

    Fast forward, there were then 2 teens and a child, about to have a teen party while the adults were away, and the youngest, the clone, aged up to teen as well!

    So it's a full moon, a teen party is starting, and I hear some flirting sounds, so went to see what was going on, and to my shock it was the third oldest and only daughter, flirting with the barely-teen clone son! Wut?! Then I realized, of course. They aren't actually siblings.

    But he's...genetically identical to her father so still a little ewwww.

    out of curiosity I let them roll with it if only to see what happens.

    Zombies are breaking out of the ground outside and the two flirts are getting buffs from kissing under the full moon.

    The flirting is going really well (full moon does that apparently!) and they're going steady.
    I realize this could be dicey because she's irresistible. Everyone who can, gets attracted to her. She'll probably end up breaking his heart.
    But they don't care, they're all over each other!

    And then I saw "propose marriage" in the pie menu and was shocked teens could do that but since I was having so much fun with surprises, decided to go for it. He proposed in the hallway and now they're engaged. I can't imagine how this is going to make drama at school with her being irresistible and all.

    It's funnier because he's barely a teen and she's about to age up to adult. As if his being a clone of her father, and brought up as her sibling weren't enough.

    Oh, it's awful, but sometimes awful is just so danged entertaining!
    :D

    Cool looking sims, I have not used the zombies for
    years hehe.

    @Turjan

    Thank you, I let her choose the first one she went up and chatted too and they are a good
    fit.

    @emorrill

    I will post the final one after this!

    this will be the final post of the story, the holidays are over ( Well, I still have a week off from my courses), so I don't want to drag it out
    any longer.

    " A Christmas we will never forget"

    Final chapter

    Fitting opening screenshot over Thorntons home

    KtaZesd.jpg

    Morgana was happy to be in her own home, she had three roommates and all were guys, but she was not bothered one bit
    about that.

    DSgVMzu.jpg

    She had a choice to do, one of the roommates would be the one for her, so she needed to think
    really carefully.

    Tez5ITt.jpg

    9nQkyQ6.jpg

    She hugged each of them not to be rude, and to see how the chemistry was.

    Lnw4CKy.jpg

    This guy though was something else, she felt the best chemistry with him, and he was also more
    fitting personality with her.

    8VkAvbk.jpg

    IJkP7em.jpg

    She made up her choice!

    This guy Walter Fullman was her choice, and they are very cute togheter!

    @Silverofdreams30 Nice ending to your christmas story. They look like a nice match and their child will be very cute i am certain.

    @Astro what a nice date and awesome pictures! Your sim seem a bit clumsy, and Indi sure likes to wear his party shoes! :p

    Happy New Years to all!

    @Turjan I can't quite bring myself to play StarDew Valley with the pixel peoples. Hubby played it and I watched him but gosh that takes me way back to the beginning of my console gaming with Mystic Quest RPG's. Not counting Frogger and things like that on the old Atari system.
    I enjoyed seeing the pictures of your family, you make me laugh at your descriptions. Tyler Tulip would definitely get a makeover in my game. Ouch!
    I don't think I would pay to kiss that guy.

    @Silverofdreams30 Great choices of guys for Morgana!
    I'm kinda glad she picked Walter. And she's preggers! Awesome. Definitely a Christmas to remember.
    Beautiful scenery pictures.

    @Astro Glad to see Maggie managed to get to her date and have some fun.
    Fun seeing the zombies get to have some fun too!

    @ignominiusrex Welcome! Interesting storyline.

    @king_of_simcity7 Great going down memory lane with our sims.

    @emorrill I still have not taken time to see what she had this year. The ponies are cute!

    @sulfurstyless Cute pictures. I love raising aliens.

    I had some fun messing around in Supernatural Island yesterday for a little while. I've started adding the main families. I hope I will have some pictures later this week. Depends on work and helping out with my grandson.

    oh wait, were these supposed to be storylines? i was just laughing at the absurdities of my game that day and wanted to see how far down the rabbit hole of weirdness went, wasn't making an intentional storyline. I could see how the clone getting with an unrelated household member who was nevertheless the genetic daughter of the clone's...whatever you call the DNA source of a clone...the original? LOL I dunno. But I could see that being tasteless, to formulate as an intentional storyline.

    @Silverofdreams30 what cc do you use for those amazingly attractive faces? I have never used CC in sims 3 but seeing what's possible makes me want to try!

    Hey friends. :)

    So I was all set to make reply comments this morning when the power went out (again) just as I was about to... We had 3 power outages today all within in an hour time frame and by then I was done until the power company fixed whatever they were fixing.

    We had the largest temperature drop in the past 24 hours that I've ever seen in an area where we've lived! The high was 60 on Saturday and a cold front moved in that night, dropping the temps into the 20s, and now the high today was 35! :open_mouth: Wow Arkansas weather, you may be more bipolar than Utah's weather. :lol:

    Any of the rest of you in this part of the US enjoying the drastic cold front? :p

    Anyhoo!

    @Turjan You always make me laugh. :lol: Your wit is very similar to my husband's. :blush:
    I thoroughly enjoyed reading your rants about the Stardew Valley characters. :lol: You were on point for the most part! And I'm the same as you, my "helper" trait has limits now when it didn't used to. I used to be one of those that had a hard time saying No to anyone because I always wanted to be nice and help. I learned the hard way that...people will take advantage of that if you aren't careful. :pensive: And also, sometimes your help can be enabling.....Anyway.
    Can you believe that some people out there actually believe that a Penny and Shane pairing would be perfect? I would have to give an emphatic NO to that! I don't even think I have to explain, based on what you said about them. But if you feel like sharing your thoughts on it, do enlighten me. :blush:
    Hard pass on kissing that booth guy! :grimace: No offense dude, I'm sure someday love will find you. :lol:

    @Karritz
    Your 'My Little Ponies' brought back memories. Didn't you have a story on that theme a few years ago?
    ^Why yes, yes I did. :blush:

    ^If I were single, I wish I was in her shoes. :smirk:
    Despite how much I don't like man buns, he looks pretty cute in that last picture there kissing her. :love:
    Welcome back to the thread! :grin:

    @Silverofdreams30 *Squeal!* I am SO glad Morgana had the best chemistry with Warren! <3 I mean, he just looked like the perfect match for her.
    And she's having his baby. Awww. <3 I would love to see a wedding celebration for them. If you feel like doing like that. No pressure. :kissing_heart:
    I know the story had to come to an end, but I wish we could see a little bit more of Thornton and Morgana's new relationships. :blush: Great job!

    @bekkasan She (Sandy at ATS3) didn't have much that interested me on the advent calendar this year again. She did have a Cabbage Patch doll and I had to snag that for nostalgia. :smiley:
    Supernatural Island is looking great. (And bright. ;)<3 )

    @Cororon
    Yeah, I love them! I used them as studio props, and the details look fine even when they are enlarged 500% :smiley:
    ^Sweet! :smiley: A tribute to Sandy's talent! :star:
    AH! I LOVE your pictures with the girls and the ponies!!! :grin:<3



    *Well folks, I've been taking pictures in my game for the next part of my Stardew Valley story. :mrgreen: Stay tuned!

    ***Is there anyone else who would like to participate in my "Twinbrook Homeless Sim Makeover Challenge?" If so, let me know and I'll be more than happy to pass the rules on to you. :) Thank you SO much to those of you who have participated already. Oh how much it warmed my heart to see how it brought us all back together on here and socializing just before Christmas. <3 It was one of the best gifts I could've received after a rough year.

    I haven't been on Sims 3 much in the past two-three weeks since...well...Double XP...on SWTOR. And I evidently have a new couple...on SWTOR... Risha and Satoru. Oh, they're going to make some fireworks.

    Just like River and Haruo - but unless I port Risha and Satoru into Sims 3...their romantic story-line is predetermined.

    @Silverofdreams30 Looks like your Christmas story found a happy end! :smile: Beautiful winter shot, btw.

    @ZhakiraP True! I doubt the kissing booth made much money that season :lol: .

    @bekkasan Thank you very much. I don't mind pixel games, and I also love Terraria, for example. Then again, the toddlers in Stardew Valley look like little monsters from hell, so I can understand that the visual style doesn't quite match your preferences :wink: . Regarding Tyler Tulip, I just left him because he looks like someone I know. Otherwise, yes, I'd probably do a makeover. It's very low effort from my side in this town, as the game runs at 3.15GB.
    I hope all goes well for you in your Supernatural Island game. And have fun with the family :smile: .

    @emorrill Thanks. Regarding the helper syndrome often being detrimental, the game even drives that home at some point. For example, you can spend 500k plus material (that's more than on your own farm house) to build a house for Pam and Penny. First day they are ecstatic, second day Pam looks for the catch, because it can't be real, third day it's back to drinking and whining. I actually expected that, and I only did that because you have to do it for the shortcuts later on.
    Shane and Penny? Shane actually switches to cola in a relationship, but he will stay messy, which Penny hates. Also, isn't it a bit cruel to give someone who tries everything to escape an alcoholic relative into a relationship with an alcoholic? That may be stereotypical, but doesn't work for me. The main reason why I don't see this is that those two have nothing in common (except some interest in the well-being of Jas). There's no "hook" to start this. Shane even has a hobby, raising chicken, and she has no interest in such things (my farmer raises his blue chickens though).
    What I didn't mention when I said I chose Abigail are those relations. Abigail has a relationship to the farm (she mentioned she often played there) and you meet her during things you actually do (in the mines for example). I'd even consider building a slime hutch for her. There is at least something that gels. You need something in common you like to talk about in a functioning relationship, and please not just the children. That's too much pressure on them.

    @Cororon Adorable pics with the ponies. I use those cc to make things smaller but never thought to enlarge toys. Great idea!

    @emorrill I do remember friends being frantic about getting that cabbage patch doll. I had a boy so didn't need to fret. :grin:

    @CravenLestat Your Taonga girl looks spot on. What did you name her!? I like her very much.

    @Turjan Thanks!
    Plant baby! So adorable!! I've got one plant family and one single plant sim in the SI families so far. I'm hoping more will be born in game as I play it.
