I really don’t want this in my game: Can't think of anything.

I would or would not like lots in the following sizes: (If you’re a fan of tiny lots then here is a great place to mention that! If larger lots make your game lag while loading them, mention that too!) I love country settings and beach settings, so anything is really nice. I'm not a picky person. :)

I want/don’t want berry sims: Never tried them, so go ahead if you wish. :)

I want/don’t want occult sims: (Be sure to specifically list those that you are fine with or mention which ones you don’t want to see in your game!) I don't have Supernatural, so at this time no.

I want/don’t want pets in the household: (Like cats more than dogs? Like bundles of cute puppies over horses? Don’t want any of them? Mention it!) I love all pets, so bring them on :)

Do you want your sims and/or pets skilled up for you? If so, how much? (Example: A couple of points, but not maxed out) Please a couple of points skilled up.

Are there certain skills you want skilled because you really like having them ready when you start with a new sim or household? (Example: A few points in Cooking would be nice so sims don’t burn the waffles and can make more than a mean bowl of cereal!) Cooking & Handyman skills.

Are there particular skill items that you really like having in a build? (Example: I love having sims that can cook, garden, paint and write so having those skills would be awe-sim!) A sim who can cook, clean, garden, and write.

Other: (Describe here anything that you’d really like that might or might not have been previously mentioned!)
If making a family I'd like to have 1 boy & 1 girl (twins). I think that's about all

Our first Buddy Letter ... how awesim is that?!

Addy - I DID use that little picture link thingy! :s In order for ME to get a "copy picture location", I have to risk using both/either Chrome or Firefox when I am signing in to my Sims 3 page. BOTH are not a secure connection. Trust me .... I have scanned my computer SO many times. I *DON'T* have any viruses. But, if I were to use Edge (Microsoft), I don't get anything like that copy location thing.

But that picture link thingy is SO not something I can use. :s

**************************************************

@aricarai - I've already checked out Imgur. NO WAY. When you first GO to their site, you can't even *get* to the bottom to FIND SOMETHING that would tell you **how much** room you would be given IF you sign up. Sorry

@Jessabeans - I *did* try adding the img thingy before and after; inside that picture thingy link. Again ... sorry.


MY website will have to be the place where I will put my pictures.

By the way .... is ANY ONE having trouble uploading MEMORIES to their sims 3 page? I ask because the stoopid picture I was trying to work with started *out* as a memory. But the memory NEVER uploaded. Could it be a glitch on **my** side?? Who the frig knows. This is one of the reasons why I gave up on 3.


sorry for the rant

This is my first time trying something like this, so here it goes....

• Username: Kesminlix
  
  
• Link to your Sims 3 My Page: http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/Kesminlix
  
  
• I have installed the following Expansion Packs: I have all EPs!
  
  
• I have installed the following Stuff Packs: All SPs except Katy Perry Sweet Treats.
  
  
• I own the following Store Content: I basically own everything from the store. There might be a few items here and there that I don't have but all the major sets I own.
  
  
• I own the following EA-made Worlds: I have all the EA-made worlds.
  
  
• Some of my favorite colors are: Blue, Green, Red (all various shades). I also like really neutral colors too. I like pastels too.
  
  
• I really don’t like this color: I'm not a fan of neon colors, black (in moderation it's okay), yellow, orange... though pastel yellow is fine.
  
  
• I love to use items from this set: Bohemian Garden, Grandpa's Grove, Country Livin' (see the theme here :wink:)
  
  
• I prefer to play in this EA-made World: Appaloosa Plains
  
  
• I enjoy this style of build the most: I LOVE country and rustic builds. I also like Craftsman, Colonial, and Southern/Antebellum homes as well.
  
  
• I really don’t want this in my game: Ultra-modern homes/decor. Not a fan.
  
  
• I would or would not like lots in the following sizes: 40 x 40 or larger is fine. I am not a tiny home lover.
  
  
• I want/don’t want berry sims: I don't want berry sims.
  
  
• I want/don’t want occult sims: Witches are fine but no Vampires, Werewolves, Fairies, or Ghosts please.
  
  
• I want/don’t want pets in the household: I LOVE pets in the Sims 3! (It's my favorite expansion pack!) While I'd like any pet, I'm more of a horse and dog lover than a cat person.
  
  
• Do you want your sims and/or pets skilled up for you? If so, how much? If you want to skill them up a couple of points, that's fine. I don't really care.
  
  
• Are there certain skills you want skilled because you really like having them ready when you start with a new sim or household? Cooking is the only one I really want (a kitchen fire in a brand new house is just annoying and sad). But if you want to skill up any pet's hunting skill, I'd appreciate it.
  
  
• Are there particular skill items that you really like having in a build? Cooking and Writing. Maybe painting?
  
  
• Other: I love playing with families so I would prefer not to have a single sim. However, if they are single (relationship status wise), could they perhaps have a kid or two (or at least a couple of "fur babies")?

Hope you guys don't mind that I changed the formatting of the letter. I just thought it would make it easier to read. I can change it back if needed. :smile:

O M FRIGGING GAWWWWD!!! :s :s Photobucket is OUT. OF. THEIR. FRIGGING. MIND!


Addy -- Ari .... I highly suggest that people NOT USE photobucket as their choice for images. (( mumbling words that cannot be used here )) IF they want their images to be seen - and they still want to use PB as their host - they will/would have to pay $400!! FOUR HUNDRED *FRIGGING* DOLLARS -- A YEAR!!!!! :s :s They can go you-know-what themselves.


Great :s Now I have to try and dl EVERY SINGLE PICTURE I uploaded over there and figure out HOW to "cancel" my account. And then TRY TO FIND somewhere else. :s :s

I use tinypic.com for all my pictures. It works great for me and it's free, still.

Yaaay for new letters! :heart:

@MsPrissy88 - like I said, I only use imgur for transparent pictures, but flickr is my main one and it works a dream!

Welcome & thanks for joining, @Kesminlix :)
Changing the format of the letter is fine, all the pertinent information is there and presented in a way that's really easy for your Buddy to read!
