Camping Challenge Part 2. The Conclusion I decided to retry the Camping challenge by @texansky This time around I did it with only the base pack, Seasons, Pets, Generations and Supernatural. I posted the first phase (I think) pages ago. The following is the completion of the challenge which I managed with only 4 days to go…
@texansky I definitely failed, but in a fun way. It is a cute house. I actually saved it to my files to upload and play with a family. I am trying it again with just the base game, Supernatural, Pets and Generations. I miss Seasons, so I may add that in. But I like that I don't have to worry about gardening into the fall,…
I finished the first version of the Camping Challenge. I don't know if it is successful, as Jessica ran out of money but I managed to make a very modest 3 bedroom house. Kitchen/Dining area Bedroom 1 (Jessica's room) Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Kip's play space is also in Jessica's room. Sleepy boy. I plan on trying again and…
@texansky I like the challenge very much. It gave me that "boost" I needed. I think once I complete the current one, I am going to try again in another world. Right now Jessica is in Twinbrook. I may try it in AP or Sunset Valley as they are the 2 worlds I play the most in. Though I love playing in all the worlds I have…
Camping challenge update. Disclosure: I don't think I'm going to win this challenge, this round. But it's fun to share. And I can try again if I fail. Jessica has about 5 days left before the challenge ends. She has managed to upgrade from a 1 room shack to a 1 bedroom house. When updating, I didn't do much furniture wise.…
I've been inspired to give @texansky 's Camping challenge. You can check out the blog post about it here. I took some pics (yes, ME, the one who rarely takes pics of her games). I'm using one of my SIMS I created for an older save. Her name is Jessica Pemberton. I moved her to Twinbrook. Jessica was able to build her first…
I'm gonna try this! I was thinking about what challenge should I try. I feel "stuck" in my gameplay and a new challenge is always good to get the creative muscles going!
I'm not running away. I'm just sad. I did join the Sims community page on FB. I'm on discord, just not on the SIMS server (I'm on a LOT of RPG ie D&D channels there) I'm trying to process it all. I glanced at the "new site" and I don't like the look of it. But I"m old and crabby so I probably won't like anything. LOL I…
@GraceyManor Thanks for the the FB tip. You'll get to see my "real name" on there. LOL I don't post a lot either. I'm not an everyday gamer of SIMS 3 either, but this is my game. My favorite and the one that makes me feel better when the my world goes lopsided. I know it's not until July. I get that. But I would hate to…

Are we not going to discuss the new announcement??? This thread is definitely a nomination. I love these boards. I have been a SIMMER for a LONG LONG TIME. I've gone through many incarnations of these boards. But somehow, I feel like the new changes are meant to (not openly) weed the older (ie: people NOT playing 4)…
Oh no! I think I saw a thread a while back about Windows 11 and the game. I've been reluctant to upgrade because I want to play my beloved game forever! Let us know if you're finding success with it soon. I would miss stories if you had to stop playing. *hugs*
@tallcoolone That is so cool what you're doing with the Century manor! I've been playing this game for so long and I agree, there is quite a bit I still haven't discovered. I like that you set your own challenges and rules. I do the same. I usually go to a planned challenge when I need some inspiration.
@emorrill I am glad you are okay my dear friend. I think it's okay to do very little your last week working as well, but I understand about normal paychecks. We didn't get hit hard with the snow, which feels weird that other parts of the country (except Buffalo) got hit harder than us in NY (southern NY at least). My week…
@Sprottenham you always create such cool places. @Turjan I can relate to concerns for your Mom. I'm currently trying to find an assisted living facility here in NY for my Mother. Her dementia is progressing and it will soon be not safe for her to live alone. Today, I'm trying to decide if I'm going to run up to my Hubby's…
Hi there! You need to have a bunch of posts. I think it's 25 before you're allowed to post pics. I bet your pic of the snake being charmed is pretty cool though.
@texansky I admire how you keep all your custom content managed. I haven't downloaded anything in a long time. I try to keep track of storytelling, but not always successful. @Nikkei_Simmer Yes, Neverwinter is a D&D MMO. D&D is one of my favorite things to play. I started as the only girl in a group back in the 80's and…
@GraceyManor That is incredible! LOVE this for you! Also, I'm glad you're feeling better. @emorrill LOVE that house. @texansky I've always wanted to do some sort of legacy from the "old days" to modern times. Especially since I worked for a museum for a long time and we spanned history from the 1600s to modern times.…
I like a combo. There are some that I like to do, especially if I'm bored. I've come up with my own rules for legacies. Maybe one day I'll consistently write a story. LOL
My style is all over the place. There's always a story, but it's mostly in my head. LOL I start and re-start quite a bit. It's a terrible habit. I've hardly ever done points. I think I would do that in SIMS 2. I cheat. I'm sorry, but when you have parent SIMS, they need cheats. I also "reset" during some games. Like I wait…
You would think that being from NY and love Irish bands, I would've known he died. I didn't realize it until AFTER I saw your post. I was so sad. The song I posted about was written just after 9-11 (the video makes me cry). If I'm not the right state of mind when I hear it, I burst into tears.
