    @FabBunny google ‘Strangetown Sims 3’ and click a link that takes you to these forums, it’s a thread by the creator with pictures and the populated world! It’s all the strangetowns of the TS2 iterations put together.

    @Mikezumi I'm glad you enjoyed the few pictures I posted of the tomb under the nectary.

    There are two huge tombs there and those three pictures don't really show much of them. That's why I'm so determined to get one of my Isla Paradiso Bunch Sims to do them. It's a hard tomb to get into and usually comes right at the end when all other tombs in all three worlds are done. Or mostly done.

    If you get it early then it generally drops out until you've done the other tombs and then mysteriously it reappears in your Opportunities/Adventures and you can then continue working on it from where you got to previously.

    The problem I had with this tomb and the Isla Paradiso Bunch is one of the objects they need in the numerous side adventures you have to do to get into it vanished. Without that sapphire there was no way to progress. Craig had it in his hand and then the game deleted it. I couldn't get it back. I would have posted more pics of Gertie doing those tombs but I don't seem to have any.

    The other thing I had a problem with in the IP Bunch game, is they had to go to Egypt and deliver beetles they caught in France. When he got to Egypt with the beetles the adventure drops out - constantly. Now I've restarted the adventures from an earlier save, before they ever got that adventure and I'm hoping I'll get them through it this time.

    When they do finally do it I'll be posting video of a complete walk through the entire process. But first they have 3 tombs to complete in China. That'll be in Episode 71 and 72 of the Isla Paradiso Bunch. After that the only thing they'll have left to do is the two tombs under the nectary in France. That might take another 2 episodes as it takes a lot of little, but time consuming, tasks they need to do in order to get into it. Most of the episodes from about Episode 29 are them doing the World Adventure tombs.

    @Karritz That would explain why I have never done it! Maybe one day I will have a sim do all the quests just to see it.

    @Zagboorules Those Strangetown screenshots gave me so much nostalgia. Where did you download it from?

    Weird question I know but does anyone have any tips on taking good close-up pictures of sims? Every time I try they always turn out plum :/


    Ask @coco She is slightly sorta somewhat kinda lil bit tad bit decent at taking close up sim shots ;)

    Page 3425, continued

    @emorrill I remember that scene very well, it was one of my favorites.
    I can't believe the end is coming. I've learned so much about the characters from your story.

    @Karritz Thanks, hopefully I can get to episode 5 by the end of the weekend or so.

    @king_of_simcity7 Sounds good.

    @Steamvarius Good, glad Rachel got their house and that Holly lives with the Landgraabs. At least that way she'll be in town still.
    Fun game of tag.
    Gotta keep that truck in good condition.
    Great update!

    @GraceyManor No she is not, lol.
    She sure did get what's coming to her.

    @Mikezumi I love the cowplant. Glad Pia isn't afraid to get near it.
    Ian's doing good with fishing then.
    Great update!
    It probably does.
    It wouldn't feel good at all. I'd want to take a shower immediately.
    Thanks, I had fun answering them.
    I like Nial's photobooth pictures, lol
    Looks like the teens had a little bit of fun time.
    You're welcome.
    I've heard about Simmers doing that with the gender. I sometimes do it just to see what the Sim would look like.
    Happy birthday, Pan! You look great!
    Wow, that's a lot of woohooing, lol
    Great update!

    @CravenLestat Awesome video showcasing the summer patterns!

    ***One more update for today before I start my game up. I played three days after watching Gotham. I can't believe the show will be over next week but I'm looking forward to seeing it's version of Batman arrive on the show. I've also been watching Smallville still as it used to be my favorite show. It kind of followed it's own path on telling how Kal-El became Superman so that's probably why I like Gotham as well.

    Ian and Paul had birthdays shortly after these pics were taken. I wanted close ups of them as YA to remind me of their youthful beauty :)

    @Silverofdreams30 They both look terrific. Great job!!

    @zagboorules I've downloaded that town, but, not played in it yet. Now I want to play in it! Love the pics.

    @Brandontaylor Awww, great wedding pics. Congrats to the happy couple!
    Cute pics of them fishing. Ouch! for Blair. I like France for honeymoons.

    @king_of_simcity7 They do look similar that is for sure.

    @emorrill Your writing is awesome.
    I always liked that Sam stood up to her even if she was a Queen.
    I'm being patient aren't I? I haven't even bugged you in like forever and a day about a wedding! :lol:

    @Mikezumi I do like seeing the sims playing together even if sometimes they are trying to brain each other with the balls.
    Victor did not have an easy life after the turn and vengeance was most important to him. I sometimes think about if I ever got enough cc and a good medieval world, I would love to play Victor's early life.
    Looks like the teens all found plenty of fun things to do instead of a date.
    Happy Birthday to Pan! He's a handsome fellow.


    @CravenLestat Pretty, Pretty Patterns!!!

    @Brandontaylor don't push yourself. The first episode was my first attempt ever of making a video for YouTube. The quality improves - especially after September 2017 when I started using my new computer and new software to record and edit my videos.

    I am now just trying to get them through all of the tombs so will be concentrating on The Isla Paradiso Bunch for another 2 or 3 episodes. Then I'll probably not revisit it for a few months - to give people a chance to catch up. Some people who started with video 1 in the series a few months ago had caught up until I released the last couple of episodes. If you binge watch them all you'll probably be ready for Episode 70 in a few months so enjoy them.

    Steel Generation 1, Day 2 of honeymoon

    v9r0pfH.jpg?1
    I cooked breakfast in the morning, reaching level 5 in the skill while Blair cleaned the kitchen.

    uXhk3S7.jpg?1
    Blair and I sat down to eat our apple pancakes and chatted about what we would do today.

    1nC5nc4.jpg?1
    Blair put our radio out so she could exercise with some music while I met some of my wishes outside.
    Blair: If I'm going to catch the bad guys, I'm going to need this.
    She reached level 4 by the time she was done.

    XMORIcD.jpg?1
    I sat down to read my fishing book about frogs, snails, and crawfish. I would like to catch a perfect crawfish before we leave.

    voNAPF7.jpg?1
    Blair played some chess with a local and ended up beating them. She ended up reaching the 5th level in the logic skill.

    RF2n7Fp.jpg?1
    I used some of my frogs I caught yesterday to catch some crawfish. I didn't end up getting a perfect one but I did get an outstanding one and reach level 6 in the fishing skill. I can at least sell what I don't need and maybe get promoted.

    ZxPS3Pq.jpg?1
    I decided to start a blog just for fun called "Learning How To Fish". I ended up with 22 followers on the first post.

    5f5jU2G.jpg?1
    That evening, Blair and I watched the stars together. We had never done so before and we had a lot of fun before we headed off to bed.

    Household Total: $6909

    ***Going to try and at least get Chris and Blair home tonight. Blair is on leave due to the marriage and will probably be on leave again soon. Blair has a wish to visit the future so I may do that sometime soon as well.

    @Mikezumi Great pictures of Ian and Paul!

    @Steamvarius That's cool, now they have all kinds of places to live at if they wanted to.

    @bekkasan Thanks! I had some fun with the wedding.
    So do I. They both chose the same place so I went with it, lol

    @Karritz I won't too much. I'm going to at least watch 2 and 3 over the weekend, maybe one a day or so would work best.

    @Brandontaylor Nice update of Blair and Chris.

    I've done my simming for today. I have the next episode of The Isla Paradiso Bunch finished. Just have to check it for glaring mistakes and then I'll load it. Probably tomorrow as I'm going out now. Even though it's raining.

    Happy Simming all.

    Sally stood, staring at her mother's cottage.It was hard to say goodbye to a home that had been with her for so long.
    "You're still coming with me aren't you?" Kaiden questioned; patiently waiting."Yes of course."

    "Thank Neptune, you're safe Kaiden." Tia ran to greet her son."I'm fine, thank you for the help." "Always getting yourself into trouble."
    His father chuckled."But I know you'll do fine." Kaiden looked at his father curiously."What do you mean?" "Your mother and I are stepping down.
    The crown is yours now.You'll be a fine king." "I'll do my best.."

    "And there's something else I'd like to do." He approached Sally; who looked at him confused."What are you doing?"

    "Sally...Marry me? I love you."

    "Really? Are you sure?" Sally was caught off guard, not expecting this at all.

    "I am...I love you Sally." She smiled; "I'd love to marry you Kaiden."

    Sorry to be a bother but do you have a link to this hair @Mikezumi ?
    I'm starting to get into downloading TS3 custom content and would like to recreate a TS4 sim I made (with the TS4 version of the hair)

    @afai1261 I have had that hair for many years and don't even remember who the creator was. I will try to see if any of my file names rings a bell for me and then do a search.
    Thanks :)

    @Brandontaylor Christopher looks like he is enjoying the fishing!
    That is cool that he got that many followers right away on the blog. My poor sims never do well with blogging.
    Sweet picture of them watching the stars!

    @GraceyManor Woot! Such a lovely proposal and she said yes! So romantic. Love that it is time for him to be king too!
    Wowsers! Love the castle! Did you make it?

    @GITTE2001 Great sims!

    Well, I successfully installed mods! For some reason I thought they wouldn't work (because I can be a bit stupid sometimes haha)

    @afai1261 I found a lot of files that date back to when I first started using CC but can't be sure which is the hair. Perhaps you could contact the person who did the TS4 conversion to find out where they got the original TS3 hair. I am thinking it might be Cazy but can't say for certain. Sorry.

    @Mikezumi ah, that's alright. Don't worry about it - I'm sure I'll come across it myself at some point :D
