    Alrighty my friends! I am here! :grin:

    Sorry, I was away from the thread longer than I planned to be. :grimace: Since I finished reading my Stardew Valley Fanfic I went ahead and started reading my Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap) Fanfic story again and oh my goodness y'all it's been so nostalgic I've been LOVING it and haven't been able to "put it down!" ;)<3**Who remembers when I was regularly posting that story?** :blush: Good times...

    Anyway, I'm not sure how Aizen's picture in my signature has become so large and stretched, but...Oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It won't matter for that much longer anyway... Sigh. :pensive:

    A big Thank You to those of you who participated in sharing with me who you think are the 6 most well known celebrity sims in the Sims 3 game. :mrgreen: I very much appreciate your input and have written the names down. 📝

    Now to bring my idea to fruition...I'm still figuring that out. I want it to be something fun. :) So stay tuned.

    @Karritz
    I adore Christopher Steel. <3<3 So he is indeed, in my mind, one of the 6! :star:
    I almost forgot about Gobias. :lol: 👏🏻
    Ohhh yeah, Salty Seaworth. 👍🏻 Your tutorial videos for the fixing the scale colors were SO helpful to me in the past! Thank you! :star:
    Shark Racket! :lol: I'm not terribly of fan of his because of how I made him in my Holland Family story :p but he is a good mention.
    Bonehilda! :joy: Nice one. 👍🏻

    @Silverofdreams30 Oh yes, Matthew Hamming and Thornton Wolff are total Sims 3 celebs! :star:

    @lizzielilyy Wonderful celeb shout outs as well. 👏🏻 You especially get brownie points for mentioning Liam O'Dourke. <3 He holds a very special place in my heart as well. 🥰 Not due to the sims 3 website, but due to my Quantum Leap fanfic story. ;)

    @MiataPlay Awesome celeb shout outs from Midnight Hollow. 👏🏻 And I almost forgot about DeAndre Wolf. :lol: 👍🏻

    @Turjan I 100% agree with your sim celeb shout outs from SV and Bridgeport. :star:
    Tay Bayless! :joy: Yasssss! He is quite unforgetable.

    Oh my goodness about your mom! :open_mouth: I am so very sorry to hear that. :cry: Bless her. But I'm glad the neighbors noticed something wasn't looking right and called for help! That's a great community right there. <3 How is your mom doing now? Any better? Will she be able to return home soon? Sorry for all the questions, I just want you to know that my heart goes out to you both. 💜

    @Sprottenham Oh man that Simlish Celtic Punk was great! :smiley: 👍🏻

    @ZeeGee Thank you for your Sims celeb shout outs for Sunset Valley. :blush: Noted. 👍🏻
    I would consider Agnes being separate from the Goth household. :)
    Lady, can you BELIEVE the weather this Spring?? :grimace: It needs to calm down already! I swear we have severe weather once every week lately it seems. Sigh... :persevere: I guess it's the price we pay for all this beauty huh? :p
    Thank you for sharing that video for the different codes with the corresponding effects of the fog emitter! Very much appreciated. :star: I gotta Bookmark that. 👍🏻
    Someday soon I hope to be able to tell another Sims 3 story - be it here or on my Blog.
    <3



    That's it from me for now everyone. Hope y'all have a great weekend. 💜

    @emorrill The weather is INSANE! We had flooding yesterday (no damage just waterfalls and rocks being moved) due to all the rain. It is beautiful though. And I very much enjoyed a long day of sitting by the window with my laptop simming and listening to the rain.

    So I didn't think about including other towns in my top 6 sims and only pulled from Sunset Valley! But I'll leave my list alone cause those are the ones I would most like to see in one of your stories. :) And I would love to get time to go back and read your Quantum Leap fanfic again. I was there for those days and they were the best. Except the waiting part... I do remember the impatient waiting for the next chapter. :lol:

    @ZeeGee Thanks for the link. I'd forgotten about @SimEve . I remember going through a lot of their work years ago. I've been thinking I might start a new game and place lots of fog emitters I think might work and see what happens. I've got a shorter list divided up into fog emitters that stay permanently, and others that just do their thing once and it's over. At the moment I'm not quite sure of the effect I'm looking for. I want something magical that'll cover the transformation from cat to human sim. I've made the first two human sims that get converted and the result was less than successful. There will be a few more generation of witches in the McFluff story before they finally work out how to do it. :) Not work out how to get a fog emitter, but rather how to make a cat become a human that looks like a human. :)

    You can't. I've been planning this for years. I have the cats. Now my witches have to try to find a way to do it. I will need fog emitters plus some very special skins made by @Moonskin93 .

    This is my main witch, Old Gertie. She started it all and has now got 15 cats.

    GertieInChina002.jpg

    Gertie.jpg

    The story goes that she accidentally turned 15 of her least favourite friends into cats. And then realised, too late, that she didn't know how to turn them back into humans.

    So, the story goes ---- she can't work out how to do it. It will be a generational thing. Hopefully, eventually, someone will work out how to do it. And we'll have lots of fun on the way. I do tend to do some rather odd things with my sims sometimes. :)

    One possible result of them trying to turn cats back into humans.

    Mc-Fluff006.jpg

    I just hope the cats live long enough. Maybe she'll need to try to find a potion to keep cats young. I'm wondering how it will all turn out in the end.

    Happy Simming

    Hi everyone! Here's this week's updates to the Evergreen Legacy.

    Generation VI Chapter Ten: New Additions

    Persephone shares her news with Cosmo and Kressida, leading to some puzzle pieces fitting together unexpectedly. As Nightfall gives birth to Ricochet's foal, Persephone finally learns who will be the one to break the curse.

    EG-6-10-8.jpg

    Generation VI Chapter Eleven: The People's Princess

    The arrival of Persephone and Cosmo's first child brings about a cryptic encounter with a unicorn. It appears Persephone's destiny is only just beginning.

    EG-6-11-7.jpg

    Generation VI Chapter Twelve Part I: A Show of Force

    An Evergreen family reunion takes place as Persephone's siblings turn out in their large numbers to support her in a showcase for the Council.

    EG-6-12i-7.jpg

    It's my birthday on Friday and to think last year I celebrated by releasing the first chapter of Generation II and now we've come this far! I wonder if I'll have finished the whole thing by my next birthday...

    emorrill The weather is INSANE! We had flooding yesterday (no damage just waterfalls and rocks being moved) due to all the rain.

    ^For real! And it looks like y'all (and us later tonight...) are going to get some very severe thunderstorms that could cause even more flooding... :disappointed: And the night storms are what scare me the most. 😰 🙏🏻 I'm so over the Spring weather already.....
    It is beautiful though. And I very much enjoyed a long day of sitting by the window with my laptop simming and listening to the rain.
    ^Indeed. 🌿🌳 And oh my that sounds lovely. <3 I keep telling husband I wish we had an enclosed porch so we could dine, chill, or read out on it when there's a steady rain going on. And to look out over our beautiful foresty backyard towards the creek. :blush:


    I wanted to share with you (and the rest of y'all :blush: ) some of my favorite pictures from Sam and Emma Beckett's wedding. <3 I just finished reading their story last night and... *blissful sigh* 🥰 I love them SO much!!! And I've missed them.

    (If the pictures come out HUGE, I dunno why so... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sorry.)

    I love knowing that even though Doctor Sam Beckett "never made it home..." He ended up having a very happy ending in another world. 💖Still leaping around and doing the good that he always did. :blush: 👍🏻 #QuantumLeap1988-1994

    @MiataPlay Thank you :blush: It was a labor of love for sure! And setting up the entire wedding scene...oh my gosh that was difficult!! :grimace: But so worth it! 😅

    If you're curious how it all turned out, check it out here. ;)

    Here's one of my favorite pics from the wedding ceremony. <3

    Perfect Genetics Generation 2 Episode 20 is now up on YouTube.

    https://youtu.be/QaBgXBgXiFg

    In the beginning of this video Don and his travelling party are still at Carla's place. We see the teens working on various skills and visiting different places around the Mountain Lake world.

    Then Don and his grandchildren who are travelling with him move across the street to spend time in the third household he is visiting on this trip to Mountain Lake. We get a quick introduction to the sims living in this new house. The new household is made up of James, Carla's ex-husband, and his plant sim girlfriend Mabel and Mateo, an imaginary friend made real as well as Connie who is Mateo's imaginary friend made real. Finally there is a pair of children who will age up to teen. They are an evil plant sim fairy hybrid named Marigold Flower and her imaginary friend made real, Julia.

    This household is a house of romance apparently. James is will his current true love, Mabel. And Mateo and Connie have a romance going on and we discover a budding romance within Don's the group of teens who are travelling with Don.

    I hope you enjoy the video.

    Happy Simming

    @emorrill - I think we're still wrapping our head around the fact that this forum is being sunset.

    But a new "sunrise" is just around the corner. I look at it that way - that we will have a new home, just that it will be spotless and un-trod upon until we all come stomping in there making scuff marks and whatnot :mrgreen: trying to make it into hopefully like this forum, "home sweet home..."

    I discovered that adding the "on fire" moodlet using nrass does in fact set a sim on fire. I definitely did not use that to kill a sim with fire. No sirree. :innocent:

    ...Why are you looking at me like that?

    Oh, and my sim family finally had their first child, a baby boy. I don't have any screenshots of him, but he was born with a full head of hair due to some CC I downladed. So he takes after his father in the hair color department.

    The baby hair CC if anyone is interested.

    Hi hi! Today's chapter is where things really start to heat up with the return of a familiar adversary from Generation IV!

    Generation VI Chapter Twelve Part II: The Benefactor Part II

    The twins are growing fast and it is time for Persephone, Orion, and Cosmo to enter adulthood. A familiar face returns to Evergreen House to confess the truth and push Persephone in the right direction regarding the curse.

    ^That is true. <3 I'm feeling it too...
    But I appreciate your positive attitude about the new forums. :star: I'm looking forward to the new sunrise as well. :blush: I hope it will be just like the friendly community we have here. 💜 🙏🏻
    Thank you (again) for the sweet comment on my Blog about the Beckett wedding. 🥰

    @Silverofdreams30 Oh there are tons of great sims to choose from! :mrgreen:

    @lizzielilyy You're burning the midnight oil with the storytelling. :star: Great job! That's what I need to be doing... 😓 I feel like the older I get, the less free time I have...especially in today's world where we are all just trying to stay afloat. :confused:






    I've got a picture post coming up soon y'all! :blush: Stay tuned! It was so nice to revisit my game for the past couple of days after it's been almost a month! :open_mouth:

    Shameful...

    @Silverofdreams30 Yay for opening up your game for the first time in a while, like me! :lol: 👍🏻 <3
    Alexa is a pretty lady. I like her hairstyle. :)


    Alright y'all, here's what happened in my Sims 3 game...two days ago. :p

    Since I finished reading my Sam Beckett: Quantum Leap Fanfiction story (for funzies and memories), I couldn't help revisiting one of the old saves from it. (It was the original story save before I did a few separare saves for the wedding in case anything borked out. 👍🏻)

    I just had to see the "terrific trio" again. :blush: Sam, Emma, and Al.

    You know who I had to check out first. :smirk:

    <3 Hey Sam. <3

    53693030975_1f5831ab85_c.jpg
    Even after all these years my crush on Scott Bakula is still strong. 🥰 And my creation of him in the Sims is still one of my greatest creations to date! :star:

    Anyhoo, I tried to do a zoom up on Emma, but as I attempted to do so I noticed that her nose looked terribly skinny and tiny! :open_mouth: I quickly realized that it was probably due to taking out some nose sliders I once had in the game. I mean, it has been 5 years since I last opened up this save. Can y'all BELIEVE that!?

    So I did a quick fix on her nose - she's my Simself for those of y'all who don't know. ;) I don't think she looks exactly like me, but it's all good. :lol: I also gave her a new skin. (I darkened it just a little after these next photos were taken).

    But yeah, here she is with Sam. <3

    53693030970_b607e55f49_c.jpg

    53691706407_de05bd2948_c.jpg

    Of course I had to get some smoochie pictures because I love seeing them in love. 🥰

    53693030965_2369d8aed1_c.jpg

    Favorite! :star:

    53691706377_a4d926ea08_c.jpg

    This look he's giving her! <3<3 I love him!

    53691706372_cc9f724985_c.jpg

    Both Sam and Emma's cell phones were ringing off the hook because they are "celebrities" now so I went to silence them. That's when I noticed Sam's phone was broken. :lol: He magically fixed it right there in front of Emma. Lol!

    53692588306_7412835b6e_c.jpg

    I noticed it was the last day of Summer, so I sent the two to go out for a dip in the pool. :blush: (I think Al was inside watching the cooking channel. :lol: )

    Emma be like, "Weeeeee!"

    53693030935_008527f495_c.jpg

    And Sam be lounging on the pool lounger like, "Ahhhhh. This is the life." <3

    53692588301_d7346608e9_c.jpg
    He's so dang smexy. :love:

    I forgot about Sam's radioactive bug. :lol: (There was a moment where Emma mentioned it in the story) And it was still alive! :smiley: Here's Sam studying it intently for a moment. I'm not sure exactly what he was thinking. ;)

    53691706367_5f14aee813_c.jpg

    As I went about playing, I realized that Sam and Emma were not married yet in this Save...

    And because I didn't want to go through their epic wedding of the century again :lol: , seriously :flushed: 😅 - as fun as that was - I just had them go through the motions and have a private engagement and wedding. We all know it really happened. :blush:
    Cause see! She already has the ring on! :joy:

    53692588296_cbf401edee_c.jpg

    The after engagement hug. (I dunno why his nose looks so smashed... :confused::lol: )

    53692942349_0f2567b6b3_c.jpg

    53692942344_2612476161_c.jpg
    <3

    ^See, Al is still watching TV. :lol:

    Speaking of Al - since I felt like he wasn't getting much love - I sent him off to the graveyard because there were some female ghosts that spawned that I'm sure he would've liked to get to know. ;);) If you know the QL show, you know that Al is quite the womanizer. :smirk:

    The ladies there didn't seem too interested, poor Al, so he decided to explore the catacombs. He had an unfortunate mishap in there and returned home looking like this! :joy:

    53692942334_833f9d251b_c.jpg

    A quick trip to the shower fixed that. 👍🏻 I wish I had gotten a proper picture of him during this playthrough, but I'll have to do that later.

    Sam and Emma soundly asleep. 💕

    53691706342_05cda0b486_c.jpg
    Seriously, are they not the cutest and most beautiful couple ever? ;):p<3

    The next day rang in the Fall season. And MAN did those leaves start to fall! :open_mouth: Sam has too many trees on his property. :lol:

    Emma did the raking out front, while Sam tackled the backyard. (Al was sleeping in after that unfortunate mishap, and rejection from the ghost ladies. :lol: )

    As I watched Sam rake I was like, "Umm, we're not raking the leaves into the pool Sam!" :p

    53693031070_99814f76a8_c.jpg

    Lastly, I never fully realized just how gorgeous of a view Sam has of Hidden Springs from his property. I had to take a moment to snap some pictures as he was gazing out towards the hills. <3

    The hottest music star at the moment is Everly Zephyr, real name Judith Marie Ward. She's more know for her cuteness and stage presence instead of any discernible talent. She moved to Lucky Palms to get away from the craziness of Hollywood, so her first interview after the move took place at her home.

    @emorrill Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for the comment about the Simlish Celtic Punk music. ;)

    That track wasn't really something I intented to make as I was aiming for an instrumental that could be used for another song.. Of course, since my own musical skill is... very low and I can't sing convincingly with a female voice no matter how hard I try, all these tracks are made using AI, and the AI sometimes does it's own thing and not what I want. ;) Basically I had given it prompts to generate instrumental sections and not put any lyrics for it to sing in there, but it wanted lyrics anyway, so it made up this gibberish stuff which I thought could pass for Simlish, so... :P

    Those are some nice wedding pictures too. Tried enhancing them with AI? That can sometimes give some nice results. :P (Yeah, I'm on it with the AI again, but they are some fascinating tools.. <_< >_>)

    @MadIris Cool, another Sim artist. ;) Stage presence is important, and whatever talent she lacks can surely be worked on.. :P Not the worst starting point for a promising career in music... :P

    ----

    Ah well, there is no update from me still.. I guess I'm on a break now. I want to continue, but I know that if I open my game again I'm gonna have to take screenshots and write an update.. and I suppose I'm feeling some kind of "story telling burnout" that just prevents me from doing that...

    Playing Sim City is still more relaxing and generating AI music is still more fun, and I'm a sim, simple person... I gravitate towards what fills up my fun motive the most.. but I hope to find my motivation to continue again some day... >_>

    I bought the Woirld Adventures pack a while ago when it was on sale, but haven't even opened it yet. Not sure how I'm gonna make use of that for my story, but I'll probably find some way. Adventurous honey moon for someone getting married, maybe...
