What happened in your sims 3 game today?

Hey y'all I'm here! 😁 Finally. Lol! It's been a long day getting ready to go on vacation to a family reunion Wednesday morning. 💜

***Anyhoo, make sure y'all click the 'Bell icon' at the top of this page to "Follow" this thread and get notifications from it. 👍🏻
Also, after my very first post, it will tell you how many replies the thread has. THOUSANDS! Lol! 🤣 Right next to that, click on the Drop Down and then click on "Newest" so that you can see the latest posts on the thread. (As the forum does not have the ability - yet - to take you to the "Latest" part of the thread when you come back on here.) Y'all really don't want to be clicking that down arrow button for time immortal to get to the latest post. 🤣 Just a couple of tips there for ya.*** But yeah I'm still learning how to navigate this place. It's fun! 😁 

I love seeing y'all here who are here and I hope more come! 🙏🏻

Um this is Craven Lestat I tried signing on and it still forces me to verify an Email I have not used in forever 😭

Hi Emorrill Hi Meerkat Hi Lisa Hi Nikkei Hi Silver 

Emorrill Is that my Bettyin the red dress 😠 I leave for a while and you steal my woman 😢 Betty has betrayed me 

Here's a quick makeover of Richard Randall. He's cute but was still desperate for my help 😆

Been busy playing a few little stories...that I haven't really done much with. 

My new Toshio "Animal" Nakamura.  (looks distinctly Asian the way I want him to).

Kimber "Jugs" Benton

Yes, when Animal takes off his shirt, he's "ripped". 

Animal and his younger brother, a USMC Infantry officer, Brian "Jughead" Nakamura - Meg's boyfriend. 

Meg doesn't appreciate prank phone calls. 

Mac deciding to become "The Good Witch"...yeah, inside joke for those who watch the Hallmark Channel.  Catherine Bell (the actress who plays Sarah "Mac" Mackenzie on JAG, is "Cassandra Nightingale" on "The Good Witch" series. 

Just a note:  Mac is the only Sim posted here that is NOT mine... She is a sim that Audrey created as "Catherine Bell"  I'm stealing her to be Mac for my JAGSims.  Maybe I should get her to make "David James Elliott". 

Harm trying to make heads or tails out of the Science Station.  I really gotta make him better than I did.  He's the toughest of all of the JAG characters to get right. 

Hi everyone! The first new update in the new forums! 

Generation VII Chapter Thirteen: Taking Chances

Vince and Ash return from their honeymoon with some exciting news. Both Vince and Xavier's careers are really taking off and so is Xavier's love life. Winnie receives some tough love from Sepphie about giving Maxwell a chance but before she can heed her advice a new, rather blue, face appears in a poof of smoke! 

Meet Madam Rakepick, created by emorrill based on photos I sent her for reference. I'm still working on getting a nice outfit for her but this one is similar enough. I'm just trying to get a proper cloak that resembles the one she wears in the Hogwarts Mystery game. Here is a biography of her told by Patricia herself, only up to a certain point due to the story I want to do with her.

Hello, Muggles. My name is Patricia Rakepick, and believe it or not, I am a fully grown witch. Yes, you heard that right, a witch. What, you don't believe me? Magic is real, my friends, and I can prove it to you. Orchideous! (Flowers appear from her wand). See, I told you so. Now, pay attention as I tell you my backstory. I will not repeat myself.

I was born in 1955 into the Rakepick family, a family with a long history of magical blood. Like any magical child in Great Britain, I started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1967. During the Sorting Ceremony, the Sorting Hat put me into Gryffindor due to my supposed bravery. During my time at Hogwarts, I proved the Sorting Hat right with my deeds. However, most of my teachers did not like my rebellious nature, even if the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, called me an exceptional pupil. But even though the teachers didn't appreciate my excellence, my fellow students absolutely adored me. In fact, I even taught James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin a few tips on being a prankster. From what I've heard, they carried on my legacy after my graduation in 1974.

Upon graduation, I was accepted into a position as a Curse-Breaker for Gringotts Wizarding Bank. My time as a Curse-Breaker coincided with the Wizard War, when Lord Voldemort reigned terror on the Great Britain Wizarding Community. However, my travels kept me mostly away from there as I travelled around the world, breaking curses and finding treasures with my trusty Niffler, Sickleworth. Due to my many adventures around the world, I have been the subject of many articles in the Daily Prophet. Some of them might be exaggerated, but I'm not going to tell anyone that. But due to my... curious nature, I became involved in the plot of a mysterious group. I won't go into further details, but it ended in tragedy for one Hogwarts student... But just the other day, I was tracked down by my former Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore while I was on a case at Castelobruxo School in Brazil. Apparently, he wants my help with the Cursed Vault situation. Little does he know that I have my own reasons for accepting his offer. I wonder, is Brandon Taylor like his brother Jacob was?

Oh, why am I blathering on to you, you have no idea what I'm even talking about. I suppose I should erase your memory, can't have you running off telling everyone about what you've just seen an heard. (Pulls out her wand) Obliviate! (Suddenly, you forget what you're doing here, in the middle of London, standing alone.)

That was just a little teaser about Patricia Rakepick for my story. It'll mostly be based off the game, but I don't think many or any of you have played Hogwarts Mystery, so it should be new to you all. Also, I do plan on adding some scenes that are not in the game, due to wanting to add my own touch to the story. I will be excluding a lot of the side quest stories though, as they don't have much to do with the main story.

An image of what she looks like in the game.

Jackson sat in his home studio, the early morning light filtering through the windows and casting a warm glow over the room. His piano all tuned up, its familiar weight a soothing presence. He played a few notes absentmindedly, his thoughts drifting back to Libby and the magical night they had shared.

The uncertainty in her message had stayed with him, and he understood her hesitation. His world could be overwhelming, and the intrusion of the paparazzi had only heightened her anxieties. He wanted to find a way to reach out to her, to let her know how much she meant to him, and he knew that music was the best way he could express his feelings.

Jackson began to play a soft, melodic tune, the notes flowing effortlessly from his fingers. As he played, words began to form in his mind, inspired by the memory of Libby's voice, her laughter, and the way she had looked at him under the dim lights of the café. He picked up a pen and started writing, pouring his heart into the lyrics.

Verse 1:

In the glow of twilight’s gentle embrace,
Found a voice that set my heart to chase,
Through the melodies of night and day,
I hear her song, it won’t fade away.

Chorus:

She’s a whisper in the wind, a light in the dark,
A song that carries hope, leaves a mark,
In a world so loud, she’s a gentle sound,
A harmony that lifts me off the ground.

Verse 2:

In the shadows of the city lights so bright,
We danced beneath the stars, lost in the night,
With every step, every turn, we found,
A rhythm in the silence, a love unbound.

Chorus:

She’s a whisper in the wind, a light in the dark,
A song that carries hope, leaves a mark,
In a world so loud, she’s a gentle sound,
A harmony that lifts me off the ground.

Bridge:

Though the cameras flash and the world intrudes,
In her eyes, I find my solitude,
With every note, with every line,
I’m closer to her, crossing time.

Chorus:

She’s a whisper in the wind, a light in the dark,
A song that carries hope, leaves a mark,
In a world so loud, she’s a gentle sound,
A harmony that lifts me off the ground.

Outro:

So here I stand, with this song in my hands,
A melody for her, like golden sands,
In the vast expanse of life’s grand scheme,
She’s the song that fills my every dream.

Jackson played the song through, his fingers dancing over the strings as his voice gave life to the words. He felt a deep sense of connection to the music, as if every note and lyric were an extension of his soul reaching out to Libby.

He recorded a rough demo of the song, wanting to capture the raw emotion of the moment. As he listened back to the playback, he knew that this song was special. It was a message to Libby, a way to tell her how much she had touched his heart and how much he wanted her in his life, despite the challenges they might face.

Satisfied with the demo, Jackson decided to send it to Libby. He hoped that the song would help bridge the gap between them, to show her that his feelings were genuine and that he was willing to take things at her pace.

He attached the audio file to a message and typed out a brief note:

"Libby, I wrote this for you. I hope it helps convey what I’ve been feeling. Take your time, and know that I’m here when you’re ready. - Jackson"

He hit send and leaned back in his chair, a mix of anticipation and hope swirling within him. Jackson knew that music had the power to heal, to bring people together, and he hoped that this song would do just that for them.

As he waited for her response, Jackson picked up his guitar again, letting the soothing rhythms carry him away. Whatever happened next, he knew that he had expressed his heart in the best way he knew how, and that was a start.

just a test photo, a photo I took from revisiting an very

old save of mine. I used to play it over on the old forum the moon family.

this was just a random photo

Hi everybody! I made it over here, but I'm still trying to figure out how navigate these pages.  The Sims 3 is still my favorite game. This is the first time I have ever posted a picture on the forums, I am mostly a long-time lurker.  I hope it turns out ok.  This is Hadley Richmond, working on her jewelry-making skill. She lives in an apartment next to the Pizza Hut.  (You can see her balcony.)
