Hi DD thread, it has been a long time since I was here! So many good memories. I am just popping in to see if there's anybody on here trying to buy things. I still have a bunch of points from when there were ads that gave free points, and I'm hoping to find a few people who are really playing who would like some Store…
By the way, this week's image was inspired by a real art installation my family and I visited this summer called "The Beach" - a humongous ball pit! So fun.
Sunday roundup time! First, thanks so much to all of you - too many to name - who sent me good wishes and condolences about my cat Tybalt. He died with me and my husband with him, and we buried him with some rosemary for remembrance. It does help to have so many good wishes coming my way. Now on to the contest! Humor helps…
Hi everyone - sorry so late this week, but I've had a tough couple of days. I'll explain at the end so as not to crowd out what you're here for. Anyway, Weekly Roundup! First, as always, to announce the most recent winners based on your votes! The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 27 (for 1,000 SPs) is Grim had learned…
Sunday roundup! (started Sunday, finished Monday, sorry...) Let's get right to it! The voting was close for this week's prizes, with a lot of great entries. But there can be only one (unless there's a tie), and the WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 26 (for 1,000 SPs) is... Somewhere, somehow the temp agency had got it…
Sunday Roundup Time! First, this week's winners! The voting is done, and here's the WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 25 (and 1,000 SPs): "Oh Paul, you're so humerus!" by @AMofOz In Second Place (for 500 SPs): "How could you do this to me! You don't have a heart!" by @rosey1579 In Third Place (for 500 SPs): Their romance…
I know, I was so tempted to make that one the contest picture, but it probably would have given everyone nightmares, haha. And yes, you did already think of fun stuff for this one! Ooh, those are really great ideas. I'll have to play around with the Generations animations. Several doctors giving one person shots at once…
Monday Roundup! (sorry a day late this week - turns out my daughter and I have had mono :tired_face:, which explains having been sick and tired for weeks!) First, I have to say I'm a little worried that I'm going to have to end the Caption Contest. The last contest got fewer votes than usual - I'm not sure if that means…
Sunday roundup time! First, let's find out who won in the last vote! The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 23 (for 1,000 SPs): With the rooster on vacation, it falls to Bessie to make sure Agnes wakes up on time. by @"Jon the Wizard" SECOND PLACE (for 500 SPs): "EEK! Mad human, foaming at the mouth!!" by @HBSIMSTER and in…
Sunday roundup time! First things first - announcing winners! The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 22 (for 1,000 SPs): Jacob and Edward were so glad that Bella couldn't see them right now. by @Readalot1 (and is this a record three weeks in a row??) 2nd place winner (for 500 SPs): "No, yours is a doll, Wolfie. Mine is an…
I'm somewhat intrigued by this new "Insightful" button. So here goes: as a test of the value of the "insightful" button, I'm going to attempt to be insightful. In, fact, I'm going to construct a Massive Chain of Insight. Okay, a Somewhat Long Chain of Insight. Ready? Let the insightfulness commence!!!! * You know, saying…
So at least I spared you this... At one point I was waffling on what to have showing up in the mirror behind "Toothbrush Photo" (yes, that's actually her name), and I tried out this guy. I decided it came out not so much funny as super creepy, so I recruited several cows, then just one. I may have to come up with a funnier…
By the way, trivia for those who follow the Contest: the woman in this week's screenshot is one of the grumpy old men from Contest # 16, changed to a Female Young Adult. Who knew he'd make such an attractive young woman? And I learned this week that you can move cows independently of their corral by using MOO! (Ironic,…
Sunday roundup time! First, to announce the most recent winners. The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 21 (for 1,000 SimPoints) is: "This is the first thing you grabbed when the air raid siren went off?" by @Readalot1 (for the second week in a row!) There was an exact tie for Second Place (500 SPs each): "Why couldn't you…
I just saw this and realized I messed up your plans - I'm so sorry! What was the set you were trying to finish? How much do you need to get it for free?
That is such incredibly wonderful news! Moving is horrible, but I know you've been waiting for your Habitat house for a looooong time. Happy homeownership!!!
Challenge accepted. :) And hello, old friends... Once upon a time there was a forum Where we used to post and laugh and cry Remember how we chatted away hours And dreamed of all the great things we could buy Those were the deals my friends We thought they'd never end We'd wait and watch forever and a day We'd customize our…
Sunday Roundup! First, the voting is closed, and I get to announce the most recent winners! The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 20 (for 1,000 SPs) is: "If you step to your right, you will see the Sim in its native habitat. The Sim species, a low-functioning predecessor to the Sim Bot, died out in the Great Zombie…
I have caught myself wondering since I posted this week's screenshot whether the non-Americans may not understand the setup in the picture. "Preppers" are such a familiar thing to Americans that I didn't even think when posting it that it may be less obvious to non-Americans. Anyway, these two (three?) are supposed to be…
Sunday roundup time! First, thanks for all the submissions this week, and for voting for this week's winners. Let's get to those winners! The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 19 (for 1,000 SPs) is: When you got a date at 6:00 but gotta be the Easter Bunny at 7:00... by @Sara74469 There was a literal tie in points for…
Okay! Ready for the weekly roundup! First, I'd like to announce a couple of clarifications in the rules for voting for the contest (this is also clearer on the survey itself now).* One vote per person, please - I probably should have made this clear. * When you vote, you must rank all the entries rather than just choosing…
Hi all - I'm afraid I'm not going to announce the winners for # 18 or open voting for # 19 quite yet, because an issue has come up with the survey that I need to decide how to deal with. I expect I'll need to change the rules somewhat to make sure the voting works in a way that seems fairest to me, or start just choosing…
Sunday roundup time! First, the winners, based on the last round of voting! The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 17 (for 1,000 SPs) is "Look, I found another hard, shiny thing. But I can't eat it." "Eh, just throw it with the others." by @Hello83433 SECOND PLACE (for 500 SPs): "Oh, if only we'd had triplets!" by…
The last poll is still up - the new one will come out tomorrow. I'm working on the new screenshot for the switchover; sometime Sunday! You can always still post an entry through Saturday night.
Sunday roundup time! I should let you know that I'm on vacation for a couple of weeks, so although I'll keep running the contest, I might not be able to keep up with things quite as often as I'd like. Thanks for your patience if it takes me a while to gift or something! Now on to the main event - the voters have spoken, so…
I'm so sorry about the mixup with the third place entry! @SteveKareha indeed was responsible for that caption, and I've fixed the original post to reflect it. Congratulations again to @HBSIMSTER for Second Place (so very obscure) and to @SteveKareha for both Third and Fourth Place captions!
Sunday roundup! First, voting is closed for # 15 and the results are in, so it's time to announce the winners. The WINNER of Sims Caption Contest # 15 (for 1,000 SPs) is: "Up there! It's a bird, no a plane!" "No, it's a shark!" by @Hello83433 SECOND PLACE (for 500 SPs): "Are you sure this is a cure for the hiccups??" by…
