Let's face it, the forums can be an awfully lonely place sometimes. I was never active on the old forums so I didn't have any friends coming over to TS4. Honestly, I didn't even know people spent enough time on the forums to make actual friends. Silly me.
Now that I've been hanging out on the forums a lot more often (they're way more fun than the actual game sometimes), I've grown familiar with a lot of simmers, a lot of which I think seem like great people and always have something interesting to post. But at the same time a lot of these simmers already have cliques of friends and it can be hard or intimidating to try and fit in with them.
So, I made this thread for others who might feel the same way I do. Whether you're trying to make your first friend or just looking for new ones, you've come to the right place!
All I ask is that we please be respectful of each other. The forums are nasty enough as it is.
Any and everyone is welcome to post here, and I hope that you do

Rose, thank you for mentioning the off topic area 'cause I didn't know it existed until you mentioned it in general discussions. I have somewhere new to go to now. Thank you xitneverendss for creating this topic. Hope you all have a nice weekend.
Also, I change my avi according to holidays and seasons, so if you see my
name don't be afraid to say hi.

I'm pretty excited about the off topic section of the forum too. Now we can post about pretty much whatever we want without having to worry about our threads getting closed/deleted. I would love to get to know all three of you as well!
What has everyone been up to in their games lately? Feel free to share pictures or anything you want. I love seeing pics of other people's sims!
I have been hearing that it has been snowing and cold in many places of the world where simmers are living. I hope that if you are experiencing cold weather where you are living, that you are able to keep warm.

Well it is definitely cold here a balmy 21 which is bikini weather up here lol. We might get our first snow of the year tomorrow, but probably only an inch. Sigh I hate winter.
It is nice to meet you. I have seen you on the forums in different sections and you are always so kind and have such nice things to say. I hope we can get to know each other better.
Welcome @lynnbrown and @colorist40
Hope you're not getting snow. It's pretty cold here in New Jersey.
I cringed when I saw that movie lol. Now they have number 2 out and watching the trailers makes me do the same ha ha ha.
We don't have snow yet, but will have a little by tomorrow into Sunday maybe an inch but not much more. Will be the first of the season. How about you any snow where you are?
Very funny movie Not sure what is playing on my television at the moment, but I see Brad Pitt. Engrossed in having an actual conversation on the forums. Yay!

Welcome btw @lynnbrown & @MelanieSimlish.
@MelanieSimlish I too like the book to Kill a Mockingbird and I love the movie. Isn't Gregory Peck handsome. One of my favorite actors is Cary Grant and I like him a lot in Arsenic and Old Lace. I love Alfred Hitchc.ock movies a lot as well along with old movies. Bette Davis is my favorite old time actress and I love her in The Letter and Jezebel. I also love her in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. I too am very boring, so we might make good friends. Cupcakes aren't something I get into, but you couldn't tell that from my waistline. I like them, but try to stay away from sweets.
Feel free to pm me if you would like. Same goes for anybody on here, or we can just interact on this thread. Either way is fine by me.
Love older movies too, especially musicals. One of my favorite actors is Gene Kelly. Mostly because he can sing and dance. Anytime I need a pick me up, I You Tube the iconic scene from Singing in the Rain. As far as cupcakes: love em! My daughter and I recently decided to become "bakers" after watching I don't know how many seasons of cupcake wars. Actually didn't do too bad. Cheated with a box mix for the batter, but found out we were pretty good at making flowers out of icing.
I tried watching singing in the rain, and tbh I couldn't get into it. I am not a musical person myself, and don't enjoy most musicals. I make an exception for Sound of Music and the Wizard of Oz ha ha ha. Those are the only musicals I enjoy. I like watching Cake Boss the things he can do with cake batter is mind blowing lol. Yep boxed mix is about my speed when I did bake. I gave up most sweets, including soda two years ago. I am trying to eliminate bad stuff from my diet, but it is slow going. A little bit at a time. In addition to giving up sugar, I just recently stopped buying chips and I lived for chips. It was my snack of choice.
Yes, Gregory Peck is a huge inspiration for me and Cary Grant is so great too, he was too perfect with Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday. I've been meaning to watch him in Charade with Audrey Hepburn, as well as Monkey Business with him and Ginger Rogers. They've both been in my Netflix list forever now LOL. And I've been dying to see Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, but I can't find it anywhere. Netflix needs to get it on streaming ASAP.
I don't do Netflix, I prefer discs so I ordered Whatever Happened to Baby Jane from Amazon and added it to my small library. My dad has over 1,000 dvd's from old movies, westerns, tv. series older ones and some from the eighties, mysteries, film noir and I can borrow any I want whenever I want. "grins" I love it.
I love Cary Grant, but I agree I think Gregory Peck is an inspiration. I loved him also in Cape Fear. He is so cool no matter what movie he is in. I also love Jimmy Stewart. I have the movie Harvey and he is good in that. I also like the classic universal horror movies like Frankenstein (who is my avatar by the way). At least my version of him. He is so far my favorite all time sim I have ever made. He always has that look on his face no matter what the situation in game ha ha ha.
I recently became active on the forums and making some friends would be nice as I don't socialize nearly as much as I need to. Anyone feel free to PM me, it would be great!
