I Guess I'm in a Small Group... ๐Ÿ’š

...who find it difficult to make a New Sim? ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I'm starting a new Challenge, just for myself. I wanted a new Sim. So I opened CAS and picked the first one. 

Naw, Not interested. :(

I checked my Saved Sims and found one from years ago the game generated and I edited. He's cute. ๐Ÿ˜„

I wanted a Female. After editing the face and checking back to male, it was too bland if she has sons. :(

Back to random! 

I edited her to make something new and ended up with nearly the same FACE I always make. ๐Ÿคญ

Random, random, random... No, no, no.

So, why not my favorite Sim just edited a bit more.

Fine! The same Sim I've enjoyed playing for years - slightly edited. Until ๐Ÿ˜บ

In Game! (my computer isn't great) I laughed because she looks so surprised. Not the Sim for me. ๐Ÿค”

Back to my favorite. Meet Ainsley.

Don't ya love the view? A Rags2Richs on the beach start. 

I noticed the rules don't prohibit going to University nor going into the future

Such easy money into the future...

But NO. You're going to fish, Girl. You're going to struggle a bit. 

 

Do you find it has hard to get a new Sim as I do? ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’š

*Since I see so many Adorable Sims posted, I guess I'm in a small group of Simmers. ๐Ÿคณ

  • Ha ha well donโ€™t despair sheโ€™s still cute ๐Ÿ˜Š 

    I donโ€™t make sims too often but itโ€™s quite fun for the most part. Becomes much more of a challenge if Iโ€™m creating look-alikes of real people. Trial and error lol.

    Itโ€™s great to see you back here posting.  The forums are still super dead which is a shame. Even Facebook groups are quieter than usual. Hopefully after the holidays things pick up ๐Ÿคž

        I was honoured to become a Champion early this year. The Superuser program was since streamlined to Hero and Hero+ titles with the new EA forums launch. So Champions became Heros.  

        Now Hercules โ€˜Zero to Heroโ€™ is popping into my mind ha ha. Took me three tries to get through that movieโ€ฆ usually fell asleep halfway through. ๐Ÿ˜€

    I also find myself using the same sim again and again. Ainsley looks so cute. But yes - the struggle is real. You have to just make yourself get out of the comfort zone and try something new!

    Hi, Hidehi2 and Jaletu ๐Ÿฆƒ โ˜ƒ๏ธ

    Wonderful! I'm so glad I'm with all the good company. Yes~ the struggle is real ๐Ÿค—

    I got bored with Ainsley. She finished in a few days from Tiberium.  I thought I'd push through and build her a huge house but then - Family Trip time.
    Now restart. ๐Ÿ˜

    I'm using a guy. He's not made by me. He's born in game between my Ultimate Sim #3 and Bob Newbie. :)

    Rags2Riches and NO tiberium allowed. 

    Thanks for the Replies. โฃ๏ธ

  • Yes I do!!! I'm forever tweaking my sims to get them right. I change females to males too in order to see how hot the boy version is. If the boy looks good I change him back into a girl. I use a lot of sliders to achieve my sims look. There are so many out there for sims 3. 

    You don't need custom sliders to make beautiful sims. I like to push the limit with my sims features without making them funky. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Rflong7, great to see you posting!! ๐Ÿ˜
    My attempts at creating a sim seem to be riddled with the same issues as you have ๐Ÿ˜‰. I try clicking randoms ... as I'm most certain that this time I'll succeed making a totally different looking sim .... but alas no matter how hard I try they always end up looking more or less the same. ๐Ÿคช
    Ainsley looks pretty cute though and I'm sure you'll have fun playing her again ...
