I Guess I'm in a Small Group... 💚

...who find it difficult to make a New Sim? 😎

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. 😄

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. 🤭

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 😺

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

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? 💖💚

    Ha ha well don’t despair she’s still cute 😊 

    I don’t make sims too often but it’s quite fun for the most part. Becomes much more of a challenge if I’m creating look-alikes of real people. Trial and error lol.

    It’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 🤞

      Hi, Hero soocoolsim 😁

      Wonderful! I only tried a few times to make sims look like real people = Not good. ⚜️ 💚

        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 ‘Zero to Hero’ is popping into my mind ha ha. Took me three tries to get through that movie… usually fell asleep halfway through. 😀

    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 🦃 ☃️

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

    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. 😁

    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. ❣️

    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. 🙂

      Hi, Miataplay 🌲

      You got me to check out some sliders. There are a lot of them, so interesting.

      I use extra sliders in TS2 but I'm fine with the basic in Sims 3. 

      It's also fun to see all the Sims people make and share. They give ideas in making the game more interesting for me. 🐶

    Hi Rflong7, great to see you posting!! 😁
    My attempts at creating a sim seem to be riddled with the same issues as you have 😉. 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. 🤪
    Ainsley looks pretty cute though and I'm sure you'll have fun playing her again ...
