DID YOU KNOW: A five-month school year became increasingly common during the 1930s due to tax cuts and slashes in teacher pay. Teams started putting up lights into their stadium and night time baseball caught on like wildfire. Organized sports for children were rare outside of school settings, with the exception of…
DID YOU KNOW: The Dust Bowl was the name given to the Great Plains region devastated by drought in 1930s depression-ridden America. Through all the tough times, society expected women to be active community members by attending PTA meetings, raising funds for charities, collecting clothing for the needy, saving at the…
NO CANDY FOR YOU ITS BAD Except on Valentine's Day, Birthdays, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. Then you can have ALL THE CANDY
Chapter 2.10 has been posted, and I am now in the 1930s! Virginia and David have gotten a new change of clothes to match the time period too! :) Wallingsford Historical Legacy
DID YOU KNOW: People found ways to have fun for free during the Great Depression. Neighbors got together to play cards and other games and to talk, church socials and school programs gave people a chance to visit and meet someone new, and soda fountains and local dances gave young people a chance to enjoy themselves and to…
@Charlottesmom , my favorite screenshot from your last post was of that wholesome family picnic. :) I've always had a hard time getting my sims to all cooperate at once for a picnic. It's adorable when they do though.
There are so many to choose from! I find that any sims games are really lacking on vintage clothing, and I love history, so I love this project you have done. Nice job! My personal favorites of your work are the dresses in the 9th and 18th screenshots.
I'm constantly pausing my game for this reason. I'm so scared to miss something important for my story. I might even pause my game 10 to 15 times while Sims have a conversation in order to get just the right facial expression.
Hello and welcome! We would love to read what you have written! P.S. I love your username :) How about some tea? I hope you don't mind a little pug in your tea ^_^
Happy Friday everyone! Sorry I haven't been in the lounge for a few days, I had to study for a test. It was incredibly difficult and I don't think I did well on it. :( There's still two more tests though. I put out another chapter in the Wallingsford Historical Legacy I am now done with the 1920s. Tell me what you think! :D
DID YOU KNOW: The stock market crash of 1929 wiped people out. People were forced to sell businesses and cash in their life savings because brokers called in their loans when the market started falling. On Black Tuesday, 16,410,030 shares were traded on the New York Stock Exchange in a single day. Stock tickers ran hours…
I don't know if anyone has been to this site yet, but thriftbooks is a great place to go online for cheap used books. I think I've bought almost my entire collection of Southern Living cookbooks off of that site, plus I always like to get books for gifts there too. Yay recycling! Just thought I would throw that out there…
I've been reading the first chapter, and I love this so far! It feels like I am reading a script that could have been an episode for TNG. The scenery is beautiful, and the descriptions of each character's unique job is realistic and wonderful! Loving it so far!!
I can't believe it's been out that long and I didn't know about it. I guess that is what happens when no one I know personally loves Star Trek as much as I do. My boyfriend will watch it with me, but he gets more excited about Star Wars. My sister? Don't even bother lol.
I am getting inspiration from my organic chemistry homework, believe it or not. I am going to include some sort of genius into my legacy in the upcoming chapters somehow.
Try watching DS9. There is a mixture of opinions on it. Some hate it, some liked it. However, I found that the series provided a unique perspective of what it was like to have different alien species inhabiting the same space station, unlike TNG where it was mostly humans aboard the star ship. If you come out at the end,…
I love the new movies too! I especially love that they casted Zoe Saldana as Uhura. I don't know about anyone else, but I liked the Spock/Uhura pairing.
CoolestKawaii Sims? GiddyVikki's Sims? CharmingVikki Sims? UltraKawaii Vikki? KawaiiEnchanting? I could go on all day lol. I'll be back with more if you haven't picked anything yet.
