What happened in your sims 3 game today?

    Ugh. I was just playing with the Asquith family, tried sending them all off to China... game crashed to desktop, without any kind of message like “Sims 3 has stopped working”. Origin stats (ie hours played and last played) were completely unchanged, like I hadn’t even played! I started playing 30th March and it crashed not long after midnight, so 31st March. I was still on the loading screen for China when it crashed. I’ve been playing another save fine for the past few days (one I don’t mention on here), no idea why it’s crashing now.
    So annoying.

    That happens. It is possible the game ran out of memory for a split second. It is always safer to save before starting to travel just in case. That will release a bit of memory and also give you a much more convenient spot to reload from. Also, if you use mods, NRAAS Traveler mod will prevent a lot of the issues with traveling. Not all though but it does make it much better, and it also prompts you to save each time before you leave.

    Happy Simming, hopefully without many future crashes.

    Ray: There you are Kimberly! I been trying to page you all day.There's a situation down at town hall.
    Kimberly: I'm sorry, I was busy.

    Ray: Busy? You were suppose to be at work 2 hours ago, you never called or showed up.Let's go.The mayor needs us.
    Kimberly: Alright, calm down.I'm coming.

    Peter: Good morning Kimberly.
    Kimberly: Peter? Did you dye your hair?
    Peter: I did, do you like?
    Kimberly: I must admit...that color is your color.
    Ray rolled his eyes, annoyed at her comments.
    Ray: Excuse me, work, now?
    Peter: Kimberly, take today off, let's go have fun...

    Ray: -sigh- Fine.but you owe me big time.
    Kimberly: Of course.

    Peter and Kimberly stopped at the local bakery for some sweet treats.
    Peter: Can't I see where you work?
    Kimberly: I told you, I can't show you or tell you about my job.
    Peter: Just a drive by? Please.
    Kimberly: I suppose we can go see the house.But that's it.

    Kimberly: Here we are, my work space.Satisified.
    Peter: Looks like you work for Captain Man...lol
    Kimberly: ....
    Peter: Wait...you're his partner? Shut up.
    Kimberly: I didn't say anything...Peter let's go, you don't belong down here.

    While Kimberly was leaving the room, Peter grabbed one of the weapons off the counter."Here we are! The pacifier.Now to
    punish him." Kimberly turned around to find that Peter had vanished, no where to be found.

    Kimberly: Oh, I forgot to get my bag...

    Ray noticed that the "Pacifier" was missing off the shelf.
    Ray: Did you bring anyone in here?
    Kimberly:....just peter.

    Ray: Are you kidding me?!! Do you realize what you could have done.You swore an oath.
    Kimberly: I'm sorry!!
    Ray: Just go home...I'll fix this mess you made.

    @Brandontaylor Thanks for the comments :smile: That is the original picture of Tammy before I changed her close to what she normally wears:

    The hair is CC as I don't have the store set that it originates from.

    The school's most popular guy Derek had asked Jodie if she could help him with some
    homework since he had been busy with football his grades had dropped.
    He arrived at Jodie's place later that evening.

    He waited outside the house since it was not very polite
    to just walk into someone you do not hang with often place.

    Jodie came out and greeted him " Derek, please come inside"
    she said as he nodded.

    " We can study in my room," she told him and they went inside.

    @Silverofdreams30 That's good to hear. I have to go shopping soon though, so let's hope I don't catch anything new there. It will be mandatory to wear face masks in the supermarket from tomorrow on, so maybe that's the time to go.

    @Brandontaylor Thank you very much! Great SV family you have there :smile: .

    @bekkasan That pic with the wings on the car was hilarious, indeed :lol:
    Thank you. It's okay though. Some days surprise me by being a bit rough, but most of the time, it's quite okay. I just sleep a lot lately.

    @Zei That's a great makeover :smile:

    @KiearaPhoenix I like that colorful world. That's nicely decorated!

    @Lucy_Henley In addition to what karritz said, don't just save before you travel, but save, exit and start the game again directly before your travel. That can easily shave a GB off the RAM your game uses, which makes the travel transition much more likely to succeed. And yes, Traveler helps to avoid many of the bugs that come with traveling.

    I like how the haircut perfectly balances the nose. He looks like a happy chap.

    Peter: Ah so you guessed my literal secrete...captain.
    Ray: Cut the cr.ap....I don't know what you want with her, but its not going to work.
    Peter: I already got what wanted....Now its time to make you pay.

    Ray: I knew it! You had the pacifier...
    Peter: You made me go through puberty..twice! Let's see how you like it.
    Peter pointed the pacifer at Ray and zapped him.

    Kimberly: Peter, drop him.
    Peter: Girl Danger, or also known as Kimberly...I knew you'd show.
    Kimberly: What did you do to my boss?
    Peter: Isn't it obvious? I'll be training to join me.
    Kimberly: I don't think so.

    @GraceyManor Kimberly is luckily she didn’t get fired lol. Most bosses wouldn’t put up with missing work.
    Wow, I can see where her loyalties lie. Peter is only gonna get her in trouble.
    Uh oh, taking Peter to work isn’t a good idea.
    Kimberly made a bad mistake. I know she’ll go fix it.
    Lol, that’s funny that Ray made Peter go through puberty twice. :D
    And he just got his rear handed to him...twice!
    Fingers crossed that it works!

    @king_of_simcity7 You’re welcome.

    @Silverofdreams30 Derek looks nice, and he was right not to enter her house until she let him.

    @Turjan You’re welcome.
    Thanks, trying to keep the family in each town as long as I can before moving.
    He doesn’t look too bad but the hair actually does help with his nose lol

    yay! stories and posts to comment on.

    @Silverofdreams30
    love the blue truck! the color
    fits perfectly with the style of truck.

    @CK213
    I really like your version of Sunset Valley.
    looks like a fun world to play in.

    @bekkasan
    adorable kiss and sleeping photos!
    hope their nursery project goes well.

    @Kesminlix
    Adam is a very nice looking sim and his daughter is adorable!
    At first I thought the thief was hyperventilating with a bag.XD
    But it was just the way his arm was.Congratulations on their engagement.

    @king_of_simcity7
    The police must have a difficult time
    trying to keep everyone separated.
    That large group...-shakes head- social distancing people.

    @ZhakiraP
    Happy Birthday Baby Kenneth! what an adorable photo.
    What's for dinner? lol.

    @KiearaPhoenix
    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the world your playing in.Which world is that?
    And where do you get her adorable CC outfits?

    @Brandontaylor
    Yup peter is a brat, that's being nice.XD
    Yes, when Captain Man first fought him, he used
    the pacifier to turn him back to a toddler, hoping he'd
    grow up into a decent person...apparently not.

    I am having such a great time in TS3 that I have been too immersed in my town to post anything about it.
    I have too many pictures to post, so I am splitting them up. This post is about the growth of my town so far.
    The next one will come later on another page and be about my sims.

    The town is coming along nicely, but there are still quite a few vacant lots.
    I was thinking this would be a multi-generational project, but now I want the town complete so the children can fully enjoy it by the time they become young adults.
    Screenshot-1877.jpg

    The town center is now complete.
    I added a new central park as the final lot for this stage. It's a seasonal lot and will change with the seasons.
    Screenshot-1786.png

    I wanted a modern fire station, so I built one.
    [Expand]
    Screenshot-1735.png

    I play tested it in another save. I found it was a bad idea to have two fire trucks, as one kept resetting the maintenance level of the other.
    I had so much fun playing the fire fighter career, I took pictures, but I probably won't post them since I have so much going on already.
    Someone in the coming generations will be a fire fighter though.
    Screenshot-1746.png

    I squeezed in some small bare-bones homes in the low income part of town.
    Screenshot-1875.jpg

    The game generated some unnecessary community lots here.
    I replaced them with my White and Green series of homes.
    Screenshot-1817.png

    This is my secret society lot.
    It's an exclusive lounge, so well-to-do sims tend to come here. Lisa is here to ask for campaign donations.
    Screenshot-1797.png

    I don't believe I will be sending my sims into the future, but I will be playing out a scenario where one of my sims invents advance technology devices.
    Screenshot-1815.png

    He will discover this crashed alien ship up in the Sunset Valley hills and experiment with it.
    He will then start a business selling plumbots and other advanced technology devices. I will then add that Into the Future store.Screenshot-1816.png

    I have played out this scenario before and it was very enjoyable.
    Screenshot-1876.jpg

    This location is the goal of my sims, Albert and Lisa Bunch-Bell.
    Screenshot-1696.png

    These homes had been updated long ago and I'm just plopping them down.
    This is a reworking of the LandGraab home.
    Screenshot-1697.png

    This house was brought over from a home I built in the Sims 2.
    I thought it would be perfect for the Altos when we first got TS3.

    The third home is one of my Ravenloft series homes.
    The park in the center will be replaced with a lot to keep their horse. I will do that in the spring. They are just entering autumn now.

    The home I wanted to have Lisa and Albert buy was on a 64 x 64 lot, so I decided to use one of my smaller home to make something similar.
    Screenshot-1694.png

    I added another bedroom in the west wing.
    I will add on more once they have moved in.
    Screenshot-1731.png

    This is their current house.
    I recently added on these cool roof pieces that I've had from the TS3 store.
    I forgot about them. They really do set off this house.

    This is my Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home.
    It's near Lisa and Abert in their current home. I noticed the occupant going into the garage to use the inventor bench inside. She waved to her baby as she passed her. I thought this was so cool. I don't remember other sims using things on their property when we aren't playing them.

    @Silverofdreams30 Jodie looks like the girl next door type. I hope that popular Derek does not hurt her!

    @Turjan I have used that hairstyle before!

    @GraceyManor Interesting update :smile:

    @CK213 Good work on the fire station and the houses :smile:

    Shortly after he drank the antidote, Ray was back to his old self.
    It seemed Paul knew a thing or two about medicines and potions.

    Screenshot-52.jpg
    Ray: You alright? He didn't hurt you did he?
    Kimberly: Me? I should be asking you that...I'm sorry...I got caught
    up...
    Ray: with his charm? I could see that...I understand..
    Kimberly: Still, I was wrong..I'm sorry.
    Ray: Its alright, really...I'm just glad you're okay.

    Screenshot-55.jpg
    Kimberly: I'm glad you're okay to.
    Ray: At least you fixed your mistake...Everyone makes them.Don't
    blame yourself, just learn from it and move on.

    Screenshot-54.jpg
    Kimberly: Right...I should go..home.
    Ray: Of course....

    The next morning...

    Screenshot-56.jpg
    Kimberly was doing a little fall cleaning, when Ray showed up
    at her doorstep.
    Kimberly: Emergency? I swear, my beeper didn't go off.
    Ray: That's because I didn't page you, no nothing's wrong..I was
    just wondering if you wanted to go to the cafe...if you don't, I get it
    I could just leave, I should probably go..I shouldn't be here.
    Kimberly: Ray, relax.I'll go.Just let me change real quick.
    Ray: Really? okay.

    Screenshot-58.jpg
    Ray: I just wanted to apologize that I had gotten so upset with you
    over the pacifier.I lost my temper, I shouldn't have.
    Kimberly: You have nothing to apologize for, it was my fault.I broke my oath.
    You have every right to be upset.

    Screenshot-60.jpg
    Ray: I could never stay angry with you..
    Kimberly: Me neither, so let's just move on from it.
    Ray: Come with me.

    Screenshot-61.jpg
    I really love the bistro set! One of my favorite store sets.
    Ordering nachos and Lasagna XD.

    Screenshot-65.jpg
    Kimberly: I should head in, I have some cleaning to finish up.
    Ray: Let me help you, I don't mind cleaning.
    Kimberly: Oh, that's alright I got this...Its a lot of work...I also
    gotta study, so I should really go in.
    Ray: Right....good night.
    Kimberly: Bye.

    @GraceyManor Lol, well it didn’t work out well in the end for him.
    No, I guess it didn’t. Hopefully he learned his lesson now.
    Thank goodness Paul knew what to do.
    At least everything is good between them now.

    @CK213 I really like what you are doing to Sunset Valley, it looks great. I’ve always wanted to try something like that myself but I’m not too good at that.

    Today I plan to start narrating my video for Episode 29 of Perfect Genetics Challenge. I was going to do it yesterday but was thinking about Gary. The eldest son of the PGC story. He's going to age up to YA soon. Not this episode but I have to plan for what's going to happen to him. Since so many Imaginary Friends have been made real the household is getting somewhat overcrowded. I had previously had some vague idea of keeping the whole household together so we can see them grow up and age but that's going to result is far too many sims and I like to include something of each of them in each episode.

    Gary
    Screenshot-42.jpg

    Now Gary has a love interest, Zoe Durwood (she's a townie from Moonlight Falls). But I've discovered she has a few traits I would prefer his children didn't have to cope with and they would if she were to be their mother. Not much happens with Gary in Episode 29 but we do see him around.

    In this next episode another Imaginary Friend is made real.
    Screenshot-34.jpg
    This makes it 17 sims in the household including the cat and dog.

    There is to be at least one more IF made real in a future episode.

    Don gets abducted again - and he's pregnant - again. That makes 3 alien babies for Don but this one will be born in Episode 30 as I just noticed his 'Unexpected Weight Gain' moodlet at the end of playing for this video.

    Martin ages up in this episode because I wanted Percy to have a little boy to play with for a while before he ages up to teen. And Martin was ready to age up to child. Percy makes his IF real so that makes it 3 little boys to play together and they all go off on their bikes to fish at the waterfall in Moonlight Falls.

    Screenshot-36.jpg

    Now - back to the subject of Gary. He seems to like collecting fairy dust. He keeps wishing for it. He doesn't have any as he needs to get it from a fairy. Sophie Rogers is the only fairy he knows reasonably well. She used to hang out at their house as a child in earlier episodes. Well she's a teen now and is busy doing other things. So I decided to make him a wife. I want them to have babies together eventually but will get them married - might have a big wedding at the Wedding Venue I made.

    Indoor-Outdoor-Wedding-Venue001.jpg

    But I will eventually move them out to a house of their own and mostly leave them alone. I might use Master Controller to ensure they have a few babies along the way. I'll build them a house and place it on a lot for them before moving them into it.

    So yesterday, instead of doing the narration I made Gary's future wife. She's a fairy. I decided I want her to have achieved her LTW before they meet and to have a few useful skills. So I started a fresh game in Sunset Valley. I might include a few minutes of her activities in Sunset Vally in future episodes of this story - but she won't get a video series of her own. I have too many of them already.

    Here are a few pics of Donna Flower at home in Sunset Valley.

    Screenshot-38.jpg

    Screenshot-39.jpg

    Screenshot-40.jpg

    Screenshot-41.jpg

    Her LTW is Greener Gardens. She needs to get to level 10 in gardening and make 100 plants grow using Bloom. So far she's got to level 10 in gardening and made 1 plant grow using Bloom.

    I'll continue playing her and getting occasional bits of video and screen shots until she's got her LTW. Then I'll add her to the household in Moonlight Falls and she and Gary can get married and move out together. I'll still have to make up my mind what to do with Gary's IF made real, Chas. He needs to get some skills and be A Grade at school before he ages up to YA and he'll age up the same time as Gary does so Gary will be waiting a while yet to age up. That'll give me time to get Donna ready to be added to the PGC game.

    Here's Chas, Gary's IF made real.
    Screenshot-43.jpg

    So that's it from me for now.

    I've been keeping up with your posts and giving out Likes and Awesomes as usual.

    Happy Simming all.

    @Brandontaylor ; Thanks I just got into playing her story whilst playtesting through Tokyosou.

    @Turjan ; Thank you, I tried my best to make that section of the city to look a little like Shinjuku Japan.

    *Also looove love your superhero story so far, <3

    @CK213 What a lovely firestation! Is the alien ship explorable? I have one that I made for my world but I can't quite figure out how to make the walls work inside.

    @Karritz What an interesting looking IF, I wonder what he'll look like as a young adult.

    Momo sees Taiga the next day at the manga/net-cafe shop that's located underneath the coffee shop.
    Taiga: Hey! Funny meeting you here! Yamaguchi-San?
    Momo: Heya! Funny seeing you here! Hanaya-San?
    Taiga: AHAHAHAHAHAhahaha!
    Momo: Teeheehee. Didn't peg ya for a manga otaku. Like, at ALL. (SO he can laugh! It doesn't seem to reach his eyes tho.)
    ebdda71dcf8c7a29ccae95cec29fed7b.jpg

    Taiga: I-I uh...yeah wanted to get into them I guess? I just don't know where to start.
    Momo: Hmmm...what kinda genre do you like to watch or read?
    Taiga: I...I don't watch-I mean, uh, something funny? Maybe? Nothing mature.
    Momo: Hmmmm...(His sense of humor definitely isn't juvenile. The fact he even has a sense of humor, is surprising really)
    dfe59fc1f7b014a18122722ee9aeb6dc.jpg

    Momo: I suggest the whole series Yotsuba&!. It's really cute and it's about a strange little girl with green hair and her dad.
    Taiga: Hm? Oh. Oh! That sounds adorable.
    Momo: It is one of my faves. (Is that a real smile? Wow, it's so gentle. Who knew?)
    3ad3118d221733697737f4d289559335.jpg

    The smile on Taiga's face disappears quickly, the dark sad distant look returning. Momo's gears in her head start turning.
    Momo: Hey Taiga-San, I'm kinda thirsty. Do you mind getting me a drink at the counter up there?
    Taiga: Okay.
    5a96ab8158d7ad8ad533b43c6f066c52.jpg

    Momo quickly purchases the manga behind Taiga's back hoping to see Taiga's smile return.
    Momo: Yeah, I'll take the whole manga series please!
    278f5b9832184068c366cc727f91cfd9.jpg

    Momo gives Taiga the manga as a present.
    Momo: Here! I've gotcha something.
    Taiga: Uh, I can't pa-
    Momo: No worries, you don't have to reimburse me.
    52c3acc6f87672c032e09eeff9371173.jpg

    Taiga: Uh...thanks, I guess?
    Momo: (Well, that didn't work. Such a strange reaction. Why is he like this I wonder?)
    0a356a6167954603f934b5de2053cd90.jpg

    Momo tries to show Taiga a funny video, hoping to bring back that gentle smile that reached his eyes.
    Momo: Hey have you been to the Yamamura Square? Let me show you the commercial for the festival they have there.
    Taiga: Is- Is someone really on top of the roof? Hahahaha.
    Momo: Yea. I think they may've let the excitement go to their head, teeheehee.
    Want to go with me? I'm new here and I don't want to go alone. (That laugh of his sounded so hollow...)
    Taiga: I...uh. I mean, yes I guess.
    2284b9a6cb41bed0b217bd8dcccdd0f5.jpg

    Momo claps excitedly
    Momo: Yeeeeesss! We're going to have so much fun! (I WILL BRING BACK THAT SMILE IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!)
    Taiga: Yay?

    @bekkasan looking forward to more adventures :)
    Fillian is very cute.

    @Silverofdreams30 Thank you. I will definitely have a look at that story of yours! Sounds interesting.

    @Simtown15 It does. I am using the Grow mod for that save, trying it out. It adds gradual growth.

    @GraceyManor Thank you. Your superheroes seem to have a lot of fun :)

    @king_of_simcity7

    No worries,
    in the movie its actually Jodie ( or the main character with a different name) who is the bad girl and uses her new powers to her advantage.

    @Brandontaylor

    In the movie version,
    the lead guy is rich and knows his manners also in the sims hehe.

    @GraceyManor

    Thank you, I have enjoyed
    the updates.

    @ZhakiraP

    I'm still at the start of the story.

    @KiearaPhoenix

    Welcome to the thread, nice looking sims.

    @KiearaPhoenix thank you. He will be aging up in an episode or two from now. I'll wait until he has some skills and success in school and some lifetime happiness before I age him up with Gary. He was Gary's Imaginary Friend. I've got three IFs already made real so far and they are all very different from each other. There are a few more still to turn once their owners manage to make the necessary potion.

    I've been enjoying your pictures you've been posting. That hairstyle you have on the blonde girl is very much like the way I used to wear my hair to school occasionally when I was a teen. It was a fun thing to do. Then one day I got my hair cut really short and I found out that a lot of people were not happy about it. That was funny too - especially since I didn't realise anyone would notice.

    PRAAVEN update:

    The Royal family

    This is where they started out last year sometime and where they are now:
    The King,the Queen and their teen son crown prince Caspian. The servant girls are Piper and Gabrielle.
    49723270868_50a697c350_k.jpg
    The King, the Queen, the crown prince (now YA) and princesses Caroline and Cordelia (Cordelia is the eldest). The servant girls from left to right are Betty, Piper and Gabrielle. The toddlers little accidents :s
    49723804411_4803f1b3e0_k.jpg
    The King and Queen are nearly elders. The princesses are teens, Cordelia only a sim week away from her Young adult birthday. The servant girls are Betty and Gabrielle.
    49724122607_a9a7658968_k.jpg

    Betty was serving breakfast in the morning while Gabrielle got started on the cleaning.
    49723831641_3ae79687cb_k.jpg

    After breakfast the crown prince went on a ride on his stallion Fortune.
    49723272188_7a3e5d2401_h.jpg

    The Royal family threw a party later that afternoon, everyone who was anyone was there. It was an engagement party.
    Princess Cordelia was promised to Sir Lowell´s eldest son, Sir Desmond. The young couple are roughly the same age and there will be a wedding as soon as they age up.
    49724123332_0b2b9b80c5_k.jpg
    Cordelia and Desmond were allowed to get acquainted. Cordelia was pleasantly surprised by who her father had chosen for her. He was young, handsome and seemed very kind.
    49723805156_a0cee7e698_h.jpg

    My Praaven game will take forever, a sim day can take up to 2 hours IRL time. :D
