What happened in your sims 3 game today?
Hey everyone. :) I've been playing Sunset Valley (along with the W mod) and I just made some CRAZY things happen yesterday and today with the Langerak Family. Hee hee ;) Well, I thought I would pic...

Hey everyone. 💜 Long time no see... Is just been a crazy, crazy year. 😞 I'm happy to say goodbye to it honestly...
I hope all of you had a lovely Christmas. 🎄 We sure did here, except for the fact that it was unseasonably warm at 72 degrees! 😬 If I wanted those kinds of temps in Winter I would live in FL or southern AZ! No thank you! I'm a cold, snow girl. ❄
I did do a Christmas Story Spotlight this year on my Blog, highlighting one of my favorite Christmas stories that I did back in 2019. "The Christmas Card Lost to Time." If y'all wanna go check it out again, here's a quick link to it. 😊
I'm not sure how my future with Sims is looking for this year... 🤷🏻♀️ I haven't felt like playing much; my creative juices have been dry for months, sadly. I would like to write another story for 2026 and use the Sims as illustrations, but we'll just see what my brain allows me to do. I have so many goals for the new year to better improve myself. 👍🏻
Wishing y'all a Happy New Year and hoping and praying 2026 is much better! 🙏🏻🤞🏻✨
Quick question here: HotBlackSand Where did you get those amazing patterns you have on your Sims clothing?
Hey emorrill ... Great to see you stopping by.
There is a young lady at the Sims 3 Exchange Site, that specializes in Patterns, as well as a few of her friends. You would not believe the plethora of patterns available. I do my best to limit what I download even in patterns, because you could find a pattern for anything you may desire.
Anyway ... skyeseeker is the player there where I start looking at patterns, and you can find other players that do the same on her wall. Be careful at that site regarding some of the minutia between players, because they can get touchy, but it is an excellent resource if you just want to add a little 'pop' to your game.
You know, I do stories with Sims too but can hit that dry spell you can in the story. It was frustrating, I know you plan your stories out, and set the Sims to work for the visuals. However, I hit a dry spell, and instead of giving up on the game or the story, I just started playing the game and letting the story tell itself. I don't let the game control all of the story, I just stopped forcing the story into the game (setting deadlines or expectations on the timing of your story can do that).
Basically, it is keeping the story in mind, providing excellent "sets" for background wherever your Sims may go, and then playing the game while interjecting the story into the game when opportunities show up. There are times when my story Sims simply have a regular day, and there is not much story involved, and that's just not part of the story. It keeps me from getting burnt out on the game trying to make a story happen, and I will still tell the same story (it's not random), but it will just happen when it happens. I get to have fun playing the game in between the times the story jumps up and takes over.
Maybe that makes sense and maybe it doesn't, but it works for me, and I really like the game, as well as writing the stories, but I am just not going to let one ruin the other for me. We also kind of miss you around here, as well as some other folks, and it would nice if you could enjoy Sims 3 the way you know you can. 😁
Have A Lovely Day, A Blessed New Year ... And Happy Simming ... 💖
HotBlackSand Thanks lady. It all makes perfect sense actually.....because I've done that very thing in the past to create inspirations for stories. (In fact my Holland Family story was inspired by a Sims 3 challenge and then I just let the happenings of the game tell the story from there. 😊) It really was freaking fun! And perhaps...I had forgotten about it. Which is crazy! I really appreciate the reminder. And for your kind words. 💜 Gives me something to think about. 😏
Right now I'm trying to get into the groove of the new year and I do have some goals set on things I want to accomplish this year and how to better myself. 👍🏻 Once I get in the groove, I hope to be back and more active here. 😘
Until then, I'll catch you later. 🤘🏻 Have fun Simming! 😃
