I rarely make New Year Resolutions because I know that I rarely keep them.However for TS3 I thought a few resolutions would not hurt and would perhaps help keep my game running smoothly. I invite you all to add your own :) Remembering to save and rename each game rather than just save and quit.Remembering to backup regularly, in my case to an external hard drive.Saving a copy of each sim as I create them and removing earlier versions from the saves bin.Clearing out my customisable content regularly and only saving what I will definitely use again. So many wallpapers !To have fun. If the game or the building project has become a chore why continue with it ? Who knows a fresh start might bring something much better that makes you want to play for hours without noticing the time :D

1) To actually get past three generatiosn again with a more less cheat-free, fun gameplay-filled family.2) And, for that matter, get to generation 2 of my current family succesfully3) Don't.make.a.heavily.scened.story.you.won't.finish.again.4) Have fun in the game - even when I don't manage to do the previous things because of it.5) Maybe start using a little less custom content again.

I've got a few myself.1)Make it into the next generation in my legacy challenge in Deery Meadows.2)Get Logan settled and start getting the reisdents there into later generations.3)Get to the second or third generation in my 100 baby challenge in Storybrook County.4)Keep using the Mods and CC that enhances my game and use awsomemod to keep school routing from becoming a nightmare in larger worlds by having automated assignment disabled.

I actually have a resolution to complete a legacy this year! And to complete an impossible want in each of those generations! I don't cheat in my legacy families, so money is really no object in them...they earn tons of it by generation five anyway if you send them to University...provided you have that EP.

Sad as it may be, I only really have one resolution, And that is to finish all three of my CAW projects.

1) Complete a game without cheating2) Complete a game where I am not as controlling of a perfectionist.

Hmm, I have a couple I suppose!

1) Complete my remodel of Riverview

2) Try to loosen up the reigns a little bit. Let my sims do the stupid things they will end up doing.

3) Focus more on single play. Not everybody needs a family ASAP.

I've got a few for myself to keep :)
1) To actually complete both of my pet-challenges. I'm playing a 50 Foals challenge and I'm determined to finish it.
2) To make it to at least generation 4 of my family before my challenge ends.
3) Remember to SAVE SAVE SAVE!!
4) Enjoy the game, take delight in the little surprises your Sims throw at you and roll with it!
5) Ease my way back into CC a very little at a time. Still CC shy after my last pc crashed to BSOD...
6) Remember to Gift back all those who send me gifts in game <3

To actually play my game...

To move forward with my main family try to get to *at least* the next generation.

Try to work out if I can make CAW work *properly* with steam so I can try to tackle a world again (one of my resolutions last year was to make a world... and I've put a lot of time into CAW, it's not a lack of effort. Just moving to steam messing things up. But I desperately want this resolution to work out this year)

Clean up my CC because wow do I have so much that I never use and my game is kinda cranky lately... probably related.

Back the stupid thing up way more often. I always say "I haven't done that much in months... it's fine" then I lose a save somehow "hmm wow I'd done more than I thought" or "oh.... wow... this backup is waaayyyyyyy older than I thought."
