Can you give me a little snippit of what its about? Is it a lets play?
I watch 1-2 episodes of lets plays before bed each night and have been looking for a new one.
I'm not good at little snippets. But... I'll try.
I've been playing Sims 3 since release. In late 2014 I decided I needed to do 'everything'. I'm still trying to achieve that goal.
Another thing I did in late 2014 was I started adding Custom Content and mods to my game.
I have all of the store (that I could get given some items are no longer available) and I have all of the Expansion and Stuff packs including KPST. It is all installed and used.
Late in 2016 I decided to go through my CC by @luna as I have so much of it and wanted to eliminate a bit. I needed a tester sim and made one quickly. I used a default from CAS and kept her just as she was - except I gave her a CC skin and a new hair I'd just downloaded. I named her Dianna Martin.
Dianna did what I asked and sat on chairs and lay on beds etc until I decided she needed a friend. I thought her friend needed a slightly different, more interesting personality and I made Meryl Manson. Meryl is an Evil sim and was a bit of a waste of space as a tester sim as I found I continued using Dianna almost exclusively.
After finishing my testing and eliminating a disappointingly tiny amount of CC by luna from my game, I had an idea to start a fresh game in Island Paradise. Mostly because I hadn't played there for a long time and I thought I might get a few new badges.
I added Dianna and Meryl to this new game.
Here is a picture of Dianna.
https://s5.postimg.cc/xesznzvlz/Dianna001.jpg
Dianna's traits are Star Quality, Natural Born Performer, Social Butterfly, Night Owl, Party Animal.
I wanted to see my sim dance on a counter during a party.
Her LTW: Master Magician - get to level 10 of the Magician career.
By Episode 30 Dianna is still working on this LTW. I do plan for her to complete it before I end this series of videos.
Meet Meryl
https://s5.postimg.cc/eazo7nirr/Meryl001.jpg
Meryl's traits are Mean Spirited, Mooch, Party Animal, Evil, Schmoozer.
I wanted her to cause a bit of interest/trouble in the game.
Her LTW: Gold Digger. She needs to see the ghost of her wealthy spouse. I find she likes to go out and autonomously discover if sims about town are wealthy. She often rolls a wish to find out if xxx sim is wealthy and I find when she is in public she will become a bit agressive in her tactics as she goes about getting to know new sims.
She's still working on her LTW. I might let her complete it.
She also loves to dance - autonomously and hilariously.
Initially, they lived in a pre-built house at 45 Surf Circle, Isla Paradiso.
https://s5.postimg.cc/r2990f35z/Surf_Circle_Home002.jpg
This is an extended version of that house. I added an extra two bedrooms by adding a floor.
I'm accustomed to using more than two sims in a household so had to add an extra sim.
Craig Miller was added to the game and I needed to built an extra bedroom. Decided I may as well add two bedrooms to even out the house.
Here's Craig.
https://s5.postimg.cc/d9zfij1s7/Craig_Miller001.jpg
Craig's traits are: Vegetarian, Savvy Sculptor, Angler, Handy, Sailor.
His LTW: Descendant of Da Vinci. Master Sculpting, Inventing and Painting skills.
By Episode 30 Craig has completed his lifetime wish.
Since I had a spare bedroom I decided to add a fourth sim to this household.
I have a BIG GAME that I love to play and it is full of Sims. I thought I'd go searching in it for a suitable male sim to even up this household. I found a witch named Judy and decided I didn't really need a male. A house with 3 females and 1 male could be fun.
Judy is a Sim I made when University Life was released. I have been playing her in my Big Game for a few months and she is fun. She came to the Isla Paradiso bunch with a lot of skills and experience. I left her cloned daughter behind in Dragon Valley with other members of the household -actually Judy is still there too. I just brought a copy of her into this new game.
Here's Judy.
https://s5.postimg.cc/rgjuqo2x3/Judy005.jpg
Judy's traits are: Angler, Loves the Outdoors, Friendly, Handy, Neat.
Her LTW: Zombie Master. Turn 10 different sims into a zombie using Reanimation Ritual or Zombification Elixir
She still has to complete this LTW. I do plan to have a go at it. She knows all of the elixirs.
I played for a short time with this four and then decided I really needed a genie. Genies are so useful.
I went into my library and found several genies. I ended up with three and couldn't decide which one I wanted in the game so kept all three.
They were all old genies I'd make long ago and all had the default genie outfits and blue skin. I took them into CAS and gave them nice new CC skins and new hair and clothes. Hair and clothes may not be CC in all cases.
Meet the genies
Jeanie Jones
https://s5.postimg.cc/3ue9mlyvb/Jeanie001.jpg
Her traits: Animal Lover, Good, Friendly, Green Thumb, Nurturing
I'm not sure why I chose her - maybe it was because she was an animal lover and I like to have one of them in my household if I add a pet or two and maybe I was planning to have a pet or two at some stage.
Jeanie's LTW: The Fairy Tale Finder - maybe it was this LTW that I liked as I've never completed it and hope to do so at some stage. So far she hasn't managed to adopt a unicorn. I will get her to work on it though.
Haley Armstrong
https://s5.postimg.cc/llpw12e9z/Haley001.jpg
Traits: Athletic, Daredevil, Brave, Charismatic, Handy.
Her LTW: Become an astronaut. She's had plenty of time to do this but hasn't completed her LTW yet. She's been a very busy little sim in many other ways. She has now made time to join the military career and is currently at level 4 - Squad Leader.
Haley had a different hair style when in her sleepwear and I find she looks a lot like Dianna and I sometimes have difficulty telling them apart.
Josephine Barker.
https://s5.postimg.cc/gogwtp1on/Josephene001.jpg
Her traits: Equestrian, Irresistible, Hot Headed, Coward, Good Sense of Humour
LTW: Reach maximum influence in all social groups.
This LTW is still to be achieved but she is making good progress.
I was taking a huge risk adding Josephine to my game. She is a sim who likes to pick a fight. I had previously banned her from my games, and she stayed banned for several real life years, due to her persistence in jumping on another sim I had in that previous game and they would roll around on the floor fighting. It was funny at first but when it became a constant thing I decided to end it and she got evicted.
I haven't seen her get physical with any other sim in this game so far - but she has made a lot of enemies.
Here are the three genies outside their home in Isla Paradiso
https://s5.postimg.cc/kyvkpa6rr/Genies001.jpg
Judy is there too - with her back to them.
With three new sims I needed to add more bedrooms. Didn't want to add extra floors up top, so added basements.
I played with this group for a while.
Then decided to add another male sim to try to even things up a bit.
Sam Lewis was created specially for this game.
https://s5.postimg.cc/6jg02six3/Sam004.jpg
Sams traits: Loves the Outdoors, Loves to Swim, Sailor, Angler, Brave
Sam's LTW: Grand Explorer - own all uncharted islands. By Episode 30 Sam has achieved his lifetime wish. There is plenty of action from Sam in many of the earlier videos as he works to achieve this LTW.
Muriel Weston.
https://s5.postimg.cc/g323fcvrb/SelfSim003.jpg
Muriel is supposed to be my Self Sim and that's why I've used her as my avatar for my YouTube channel. The other reason I used her is I couldn't think of what to use and she was available.
Muriel's Traits: Friendly, Family Oriented, Artistic, Brave, Adventurous
LTW: Master of the Arts. Get to level 10 in Painting and Guitar. She has achieved this LTW by Episode 30 of this series of videos.
I do paint but have never learned to play the guitar in real life - and although I do have excellent opportunity to learn I have never really wanted to do it. She really isn't a lot like me but she'll do the job.
They adopted a stray dog and the dog's name is Stella Dog.
I used Master Controller to add the dog to the household so it wasn't a part of game play to befriend and adopt the dog. She was there so I added her to the household.
----------------------
One day, unexpectedly Craig was out looking for seashells and he simultaneously discovered not one but two hidden islands. I suspect he must have found a message in a bottle while close to another island.
I'd been thinking about trying my hand at YouTube but I always thought it would be too hard and I'd make a mess at it and lots of other negative reasons why I shouldn't try.
But I did a bit of research and discovered some software I could use for recording and got started.
Episode 1 of Isla Paradiso Bunch was put onto YouTube on January 1, 2017. I was so happy with myself at the time for doing it. I didn't have a proper microphone but people seem to have enjoyed it and I got the courage to continue with it. Now I'm up to Episode 30.
They have since added a stray cat to the household - the cat hates Judy and is constantly attacking her feet. Judy is the witch of the household and I'd have thought she'd have a great relationship with the cat.
Haley is engaged to Salty Seaworth - they'll get married after she's achieved her lifetime wish as Salty's LTW is to see the ghost of his dead spouse and I'm sure he has his own reasons for wanting to marry her. She's very wealthy. In the meantime Haley and Salty are the parents of two little girls who are toddlers in Episode 30.
Judy planted two forbidden fruit and they both grew into plant sims, so there is a pair of plant sim toddlers in the game.
Judy cloned Triton King using the Science Station so there is a mermaid toddler in the game.
Someone, I forget who and will have to read back through the proceedings to find out who, cloned one of the Sims from France so there is a toddler named Donna Dutiel in the game.
Craig got abducted and became pregnant with an alien baby while they were living in France.
Sam got pregnant from an alien in China.
I was stunned as I have only had one other sim get pregnant from an abduction and that was years ago. Now I got two in the same game.
There are two alien toddlers in the game.
So that's about the state of play by the time you get to Episode 30.
There's been a lot happening in Episodes 1 to 29. I'm sure you'll have fun watching them.
Here's a few random shots of what's happened so far.
https://s5.postimg.cc/4bcdz25dz/DiannaAndJosephine001.jpg
There is always a garden - this one was to support the elixirs.
https://s5.postimg.cc/yniz0fy6f/OsvaldoRayla001.jpg
I had them making lots of elixirs so I could get the badge for making a lot of them (forget how many). Apparently it doesn't work with occults. Most of my elixir makers were occults. I abandoned that effort. They do have a LOT of elixirs though.
There have been a few parties. There have been deaths and there is a haunting (unplayable) ghost with them too - I forgot to mention her earlier.
Here's one of their parties
https://s5.postimg.cc/4l9so67d3/Party008.jpg
There are lots of underwater scenes in the earlier videos

Meryl chatting to an Isla Paridiso local.
https://s5.postimg.cc/7nded2e9z/Meryl009.jpg
She gets a bit aggressive in her pursuit of anyone she thinks might be wealthy.

Meryl got toadified
https://s5.postimg.cc/kv7q8w5hj/MerylAndCraig003.jpg
That must have been from an accident while making an elixir as I don't think any of the household members would have dared to deliberately toadify her.

Apple bobbing at my build - The Carnival on the Water. It's in my studio. No CC. It does have a seasonal marker so parts of it change each season.
https://s5.postimg.cc/k87fx8ts7/Apple_Bobbing001.jpg
It also has a showtime stage and Dianna performs there occasionally.
We see her working on her lifetime wish in a few different venues in various episodes.
I hope this is enough to see a bit of what's going on in the videos.
I didn't get a lot of screen shots as I was concentrating on recording the video.
I hope you enjoy it. There is a lot of different things going on but it is always working towards one of more objectives.
By Episode 30 they are trying to get all the items from the tomb collection in each of the world adventure worlds.
Then I'm going to take them around a few different worlds to showcase some of my builds that I have in my studio. I haven't added anything new to my studio since I put CC in my game so it is all CC free. This extra will also give me an opportunity to have them all complete their lifetime wishes.
The only build of mine that's in my studio that you see in the videos so far is the Carnival on the Water lot.
Happy Simming.
