Throwback Posts, Part 1 Late 2018 and Early 2019
I've decided that since these forums will be shutting down in a few months that I'd like to do a set of throwback posts from my time as a member of the forums, and a poster on this very thread. A lot of it is going to be things a lot of you have already seen in the past, but it'll be fun for me since I can't really play the game the way I want to now since I have to use a different laptop. As I've mentioned before, the Alienware I was using to play my Goth Family save had quit, meaning I didn't have a laptop for a while. My brother came through with another used laptop he had, but it is not good for gaming. I have the Sims 3 installed on it, but only the base game, Generations, and High End Loft stuff. The Goth family save is lost to the Alienware so I have no options to get it back, plus I can't play it on the laptop I have now because I don't have everything installed on it. But anyway, I'm going to start out with posting some pictures from the first save I shared here and the story behind it.

This was the very first family that I shared to this thread. The were known as the Goddard's as Hank was the family patriarch. I had an underground house for them, and the part that is above ground was only to get into their house. In the middle of the picture is Hank and his wife, Ava (Sinclair) Goddard. To the right is Avery and Jayson Keaton (a son of the Keaton's of Sunset Valley) and then to the right is Brittany Goddard.

Avery was an aspiring rock star and was either in the music career or the singer career. I had moved them into a different house by this point in the save.

This is her husband that I mentioned. Jayson is holding their infant daughter, Carrie Keaton. If I recall correctly, he was in the criminal career.

Hank Goddard was rejuvenated, and he and Ava shared a dance at the festival.

This was after I gave Brittany a makeover but I wasn't very good at doing them at that point. I'm still not the best, but I think my Sims look better now than they did five or six years ago.

This picture is a random superhero I created in the game. I was going to do a story with her at one point, but then I just decided to give up on that. Sims 3 isn't really made for that kind of story, although the right person can make it work.

This is a makeover picture of the Goth's from when I was planning on doing a Sunset Valley story. I didn't get too far because I ended up doing something else later.

@CravenLestat created this Sim and gifted her to me, and I was doing a story with her, but it didn't go too far.

Instead, I started to do the Ultimate Sims Challenge by Llandros. It has like 19 different parts, and I only got to part 4 or 5 in this particular save. For a while, the throwback photos will be from this challenge.
https://i.imgur.com/fX1kvYk.jpg
This is when Brittany was doing the USC, one part of it is to collect all rocks and gems. That isn't all of the ones available in game, but it is a big portion of them.

For her first husband, she ended up with Christopher Steel, a local townie from Sunset Valley. They got married and Christopher was able to do things that Brittany was forbidden to do at this stage in the challenge.

This was their Christmas photo during the time I was doing the challenge. I just did it on a whim, so that's why Christopher's isn't as great as Brittany's.

At this point, Brittany had finished her first career as a babysitter and had moved onto the business career. She and Christopher were married, and they had their one and only child, Lauren Steel. As an adult, Lauren became one of my favorite Sims during that time period.

This is Lauren as a teenager. She was kind of in an awkward stage at that point, she got a makeover once she hit adulthood.

And this picture is what she looked like as an adult. Once, when I lost this save, I tried to recreate her but it didn't work out well.
That's the end of the first post, I'll do another throwback post a bit later. It'll be a further continuation of Brittany's time as an Ultimate Sim, but I haven't looked at these photo's for so long that I'm not sure if there are some hidden gems or not. Below is a bonus picture from my Hogwarts Mystery game.

My MC, Brandon Taylor and his girlfriend, Penny Haywood. In the picture, they were celebrating a spring festival on the Quidditch pitch, and Brandon was flying her on his broom above it. Both are 5th years at Hogwarts, meaning that they are both 15 or 16 at this point. Brandon is a Gryffindor, while Penny is a friendly and bubbly Hufflepuff who is easily excited. She has a younger sister named Beatrice, who is currently trapped in a cursed painting at Hogwarts.
