Recently Been On A TS3 Kick... (Pic Heavy, heheh)
Wow, so where to begin. So a few years ago, a fellow simmer (Jessa_Dakkar) created a small empty world which gives off the small town away from the city feel. I had started to place a couple of lots here and there but then got busy (extremely) with life so I put Simming on hold for a good long while. Well recently I got back into TS3 again, and went back to that old save and started it up again and have been having a blast filling up the world with some of my pretty... uh, unigue(?) sims, lol. Kind of just wanted to show off the world itself and some of the my sims in it. I didn't realize how hard it would be for someone that's not very creative (me) to create a bunch of unique individuals for this town, but I feel like I've been getting the hang of it! And also, I cannot say enough how thankful I am for Nrass mods, seriously, total life-saver.
Anyway... this is an over view of the town as it currently is. Like I had said, it's relatively small but I'm slowly adding more and more residential/community lots and trying to reduce the amount of rabbit hole lots so I can make the world completely interactive.
And pretty much since I started playing the Sims, I've matched the seasons to real life, hence the orange trees.

Like I said, I've only made a few families so far and I'm trying to take the time to make each of them unique (and some Supernatural as well >:) just to spice things up). It hasn't been to difficult, as long as I have a purpose for the sims that I'm creating. As of now I'm rotating through each family to see how they're living their lives but ultimately I would like to move my main family in from Riverview into this town and focus on them as I have invested quite a bit of time into them.
But enough rambling... The first family that I created included an age group that I had NEVER played as before, Not sure why because they are actually pretty cool and have some neat interactions, and using the cane with its different walk styles is actually hilarious.
So here is Archie and his wife Suzette, and also their cat (I kind of forgot his name, pretty sure it was something generic like Whiskers XD)

Suzette might also be a raging alcoholic, as before I shut down the beach bar for the fall she was always there getting a drink...

Archie Loves to fish, I'm thinking about having Suzette take up either gardening or Nectar making as I haven't really delved into those activities yet.

Once again, I wanted to create a couple that I could put in some Service Roles around town, particularly ones that I hadn't played with to much which was the stylist career, and firefighter.
Owner and operator of Lizzie's salon is Lizzie Reece herself (giving a makeover to the Mayor's daughter, which she ended up not liking, LMAO)

And then there's her boyfriend Dion, who I made a firefighter (currently the only one in the neighborhood, hoping that can change soon)

But it seems like he's been doing a pretty good job.

Now for my only current 'big' family, The Whitmans; which includes the Mayor- Jason, his wife- Elane (school teacher, and in the first trimester of pregnancy)....

...and the two kids- Jaden and Tiffany

I won't age them up for sometime, not sure what my plan for them is yet. But for now they'll stay in school.
These next sims are all single (or so it seems for some of them) living in their own separate house.
The first one I made a while back during the summer, his name is Xander Clavell.
https://i.imgur.com/oSfX00Y.jpg
My plan for his was to be the best lifeguard that this neighborhood ever saw, but since the beach is closed till springtime I'm thinking of letting him work at the consignment store for now.
But since he loves the sea, I take him down to the coast every once in a while at least until winter when it will get unbearably cold.

And how could I forget Archie and Suzette's son Nick????
He's been moved out of his parents house and moved into a trailer across town, and I employed him at Lizzie's Salon as the Tattoo artist. Hasn't had any clients yet, but that will hopefully change soon as I move in some more sims that will be a little adventurous and get a couple of tattoos.
https://i.imgur.com/JqOgHEa.jpg
The only supernatural I have in this town currently is a witch- Dax Granger.
https://i.imgur.com/G3XxTgR.gif
Originally I was playing as him in the town that came with Supernatural (Moonlight Falls I believe?).
But I figured he would make a nice addition to this town, and also the owner of the Elixer Store; so I moved him along with his house from Moonlight falls into this town right across the street from the Elixer Store for an easy commute.

I don't think practicing magic on the clock is against the rules...
https://i.imgur.com/Gfk1ZE2.jpg
And last but not least (for now anyway) is a sim that showed up randomly as a Mixologist for the local bar, even though I disabled Immigration and Role sims as I wanted to appoint those to my sims. But anyway, I edited her to my liking to make her look the part. So now she's there open to close and can't be interacted with to much by other sims. Oh well.
(pic didn’t upload correctly:(
Also some random moments that happened around town today....
A pack of wild horses congregated in the park, to talk about.... eating other horses? O.o
https://i.imgur.com/cFeVlSp.jpg
This moment was completely random. Xander and Nick were acquaintences but when I popped over to Nick's trailer I noticed that they seemed to be a bit more that acquaintances. But who knows how that's gonna play out since Xander's isHeartbreaker.
https://i.imgur.com/GnsFTur.jpg
So that's all I got for now. If you actually read though all that here's a thumbs up for you because I know it was a lot, lol. I'm hoping in a months time I can have this town decently filled with sims so that way community lots won't look as barren as they do now.
What I really need are some ideas for new sims, along with what their function in town could be! Give me some Ideas please!!! :)
And If you wanna you can post some of your favorite unique townies, I'd love to see em!
