What happened in your sims 3 game today?

Hello Everyone,

Hope you're all having a Tremendous Tuesday and lots of fun with your Sims.

DivinylsFan​  Yes, I remember that you had access to Sims 3 site and think I accidentally mixed you up with another simmer who was having a hard time.  I'm usually really patient when in comes to game glitches and the Sims websites being down from time to time whether it be Sims 3 or 4.  As for not having everything downloaded from the store, usually when I've been away from the game for a long time, I generally add my store stuff gradually as I need them while making sure the game is going to work well.  Guess with all of the game issues that used to occur in the game before Sims 4 came out, should have added more things before hand but sometimes these things cannot be predicted.  I just like to make sure that everything runs smoothly each time I start playing after extended absences.  Although with my new gaming laptop and lots of storage space, I could probably add most things now except for the things that I don't really use.  Hopefully the Purchase History page will work again soon to make things easier to find if I need them but for now I can just do a generally search in the Store to find them.

Sprottenham​  Yes, Casper didn't really have any facial features as young ghost in the cartoon.  When creating him as a Sim, I think that I just used the random Sim that came up in CAS, turned him into a white or gray ghost or whichever tone looked the closest to Casper's white ghost color.  I forget which cause of death those ghost colors represented.  Was just looking through my Sims 3 studio and can't believe that I didn't share Casper & Wendy when they were first created but there a few of their descendents were shared with their families.  One of their daughters was both a ghost and witch at the same time.  Maybe I'll reactivate one of those households at some point when I decide to use all of the expansions in a game save.  

Congrats on Dudley Racket becoming a father in your game.  He's one of the nicer sims in the Racket family along with Shark who I played for a short time after he married one of my Sims a long time ago.  The game crashed shortly after that so I didn't get to play him for long.  Enjoyed your update as well.  I have a Blogspot account as well but  haven't used it for a long time but I have some old Sims 4 stories there.  My blog name there is SilverJan's Creations.  

BylineBelife​ Glad that Kitty's nectar business is going well.  Jarrod's wife, Holly (Alto) needs to get back to making nectar soon to complete her nectar lessons by Jules Fournier.  She's been too busy painting for her Painter career while working to max the skill for her Master of the Arts LTW.

Now for an update from Jarrod & Holly Munson where Jarrod just became a grandparent after Jarvis & Bella welcomed their firstborn son, Dennis into the world just before my visit with them ended. Little Dennis is a brave little boy but a 'light sleeper' and loves the color 'lime'. 

Jarrod & Holly now have the 'Eternally Faithful' reputation but their 'guide' has to help them keep that status as 'she' has had to stop him from trying to flirt with his daughter-in-law, Bella and guess it's probably due to Jarrod's 'irresistible' trait that she sometimes falls for Jarrod's advancements but so far it hasn't affected her relationship with Jarvis that much other than making him a bit upset but she apologizes to him right afterwards.  Thankfully I was able to get Jarrod the 'Above Reproach' reward trait, so his 'moments of weakness' haven't come back to haunt him and he seeks Holly's forgiveness as well.  I have been thinking of putting Jarvis & Bella in their own game save at some point but waited until Jarrod could at least become a grandfather.  Will wait to see how much 'protecting' of each couple's 'Eternally Faithful' reputation I have to do in future visits.  Bella has just joined the firefighter profession, so maybe with her working at the fire department most days after maturity leave is over that should help for now.   Now that Jarvis is in the science career, more travel opportunities should come up for him (hopefully) to either China or Egypt.  So far, since playing the household on my new laptop the only trips in this household have been to France.

Jarrod & Holly's daughter, Callie is doing well in grade school and is on the Honor Roll.   She is also best friends with her 'Imaginary Friend', Carter so due to there not being many teens left in Sunset Valley due to the game just beginning it's 10th Sim week, Holly may make Carter real once she becomes a teenager and has an A grade in school.  After adding the Lum household (from the game bin) to the game last visit, Becky's son, Topher should soon be starting school so that would add another classmate for her.

Here are the pictures from my visit with the Munson family.

Here is Callie getting her new school clothes and is sporting her new 'Hot pink' themed everyday outfit.  She's disciplined and athletic but a loner like her older half-brother, Jarvis.

Bella also got herself a new wardrobe with lots of 'red' clothes and is wearing her 'Athletic' outfit above that features the 'Fire Engine' red shade.

Callie having a fun pillow fight with her imaginary friend, Carter.  She has already been given the opportunity to send a rainbow gem to the science center for the potion but has to wait until she gets an A grade in high school to do so.

After buying some recipe books at the bookstore, Bella decided to do some dumpster diving and found a 'kicky' bag.

After Bella got home and showered, she and Jarvis spent some romantic time together in bed.  It took them a few times to 'Try for a Baby' before Bella became pregnant a couple of days later.

Cuddling on the couch the next day.

Jarvis having fun with his drums after gaining his first drum playing skill.

Bella finding out she's pregnant.  Although she got a new everyday maternity outfit she got to keep her red boots.

Holly & Jarrod having a fun game of ping pong on their new table.

Jarrod tickling the piano ivories.  Must remember to have the picture frame on the left painted to match the other during my next visit.

After watching a free game at the stadium after her first week in school,  Callie went down to the beach to do some fishing in hopes of fulfilling her wish to learn the skill.  Although she caught three minnows, Callie just needs a little more practice to complete her wish.

Will leave you with this picture of Jarvis & Bella newborn baby boy, Dennis who arrived in the early evening hours of the last day of my visit.

Note:  Now that I'm able to play Sims 4 again, I'm planning to split my playing time between both games.  Not sure if it will be every other day or alternate months.  Will be playing Sims 3 mainly for now until I finish getting things set up in Sims 4 for now, though.

Happy Simming!
