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 pick on this family for the fun of it. They seemed to have some dysfunction going on. Iliana (the mom) is a workaholic, Dustin (the dad) is lazy but loves family (he was in the criminal career when I started playing them. Not a good suit for his personality so I made him quit. He now has a part-time job at the bookstore). Their daughter Kaylynn seems to take care of everything while her older brother Parker, rebels and pays more attention to wooing girls than anything else. And to add craziness to the family, Iliana's sister Zelda Mae needed a place to live so, in she went. That is the original story of this family. Now for what I did to them. Lol! ;) Iliana didn't like how much of a slob Dustin is and he in turn didn't like how much of a workaholic she is. And little did Iliana know that her husband and sister were...doing a lot of romantic things in secret while she was at work. ;) Well, for a while she didn't know but then she was able to catch on. In anger she turned to her secret crush from work (Thornton Wolff) and begin having romantic relations with him. Meanwhile the kids are not exactly sure what has been going on...and Dustin and Zelda Mae had a risky woo hoo one night. Zelda got pregnant days later. At this time Dustin decided he had enough with Iliana and divorced her. Iliana then moved in with Thornton. Later, minutes before Zelda went into labor, Dustin proposed to her. The kids were pretty happy about it, they never saw much of their mother anyway. (Funny, this new baby would be their half-brother AND cousin...weird. ;) ) A baby boy was born and they named him Link (sorry, I couldn't help myself ;) ). Dustin and Zelda go off on a honeymoon and leave Parker and Kaylynn to care for the baby and the home while they are gone. (Seriously?) Well, Dustin asks the girl he's had a crush on for a while to Prom (River McIrish) and they go together and end up falling so hard for each other they become boyfriend and girlfriend. The next day, with the parents still gone, Parker is DYING to see River again and goes over to her house. They get frisky and...I'm pretty sure River is pregnant. Lol! And that's where I left my game for today. Had to get back to reality. :) I love how I can screw up sims lives or make them do things I would NEVER DO!!! It's so much fun! ;)
So what happened in your game today? Can we keep this thread going for a while? :)
MAJOR UPDATE (July 23rd, 2024): ^I can't believe I asked that and then 10 years later here we are. 😊 Oh what a beautiful ride it has been. 💗
Anyway, due to the fact that this thread is thousands of pages long with hundreds of thousands of comments, you will for sure want to click on the drop down box below, off to the right a little, and choose "Newest" to see the newest posts on this amazing thread or you will be clicking the "More" button for all of eternity! 🤣 And yeeeeah you don't want to be doing that. 😬
Also, due to the migration to the new EA forum here, 95% of the pictures shared throughout the years in each post will not show up...so if you're wondering where all the images went, they unfortunately disappeared into the internet void. (Also those who posted via Photobucket before big changes were made on that site, lost photos years ago). Anyway, just a friendly FYI. 😊
But yeah, let's see how much longer we can keep this thread going y'all! 😏 And please - cause I am still here and plan to stay here for as long as I can - do share with me...What happened in your Sims 3 game today? 😁
~texansky~ Sadly, I kept getting Corrupt Save Crashes in my Praaven game. I have had the most recent save crash four times, so I ended up moving the Paige family and six other households to a different save.
There were 71 residents in the game. I packed the following households: Paige - Jarret, Rebeca, Bertram, and Avery Lum - Lawrence, Irene, and her brother Spencer Funke - Rhett, Sabrina, Carol (dating Topher Baker), and Rosalyn Lestat - Craven and his dog Sassy Williams - Marley, Aimee, Malika, Teri, and Justina Lum - Theodore, Lily, and Faye Cronin - Marcus Cronin, Becky Baker, Topher Baker, Logan Cronin, Zebulon Cronin, Jacques Cronin, and their small dog Chloe
I also took Seamus Bishop (Rename Me) from the bin and added a fresh copy of him to the game after I unpacked the above families. His name in my new game is Samuel Silver. He is a Sim created by @CravenLestat
Regretfully, I am leaving the following families behind: Amethyst - Johnny, Ami, Danial, Freebird (horse), and Razzy (cat) Arnett - Willis, Eliza, Allen, Cameron, and Brianne Basham - Lincoln, Deanna, Aileen, and Mushi (cat) Bishop - Seamus, Gwen, Galen, Alexis, Joann, Carl, and Cymoril (cat) Bishop - Aidan, Blanca Davila, Alana, and Rose (dog) Murrell - Homer and Ratza (dog) Martinez - Pablo, Jennifer, Adriane, Rochelle, and Joy (dog) Payne - Christian, Bianca, Cindy, Gary, and Charlotte (dog) Stover - Eli Stover, Anitra Clarke, Karrie Stover, and Erich Stover Wozny - Holden and Fitz (cat)
I want to keep them in the medieval period for now, so I have moved the families to a fresh game in Dragon Valley. We will see how this goes.
Front Paige News:
Rebeca celebrated another birthday and is now an elder. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/paige_rebeca_elder.jpg ~texansky~ This was the last event that was recorded in Praaven before the last crash.
The Paige family and the other households are getting settled in Dragon Valley.
The Paige household is living in an expanded 4Br, 4Ba home called Glen House. I converted one of the main floor bedrooms into a nursery and assigned the other downstairs room to Bertram and his future bride, Malika Williams. I also added a second story which included a large central room with a double bed in one bedroom and two bunk beds in the other. The double bed is for Jarret and Rebeca. Pictures below.

The rest of this post is the spoiler below as there are 18 pictures.
Main floor: https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/paige_main_floor.jpg ~texansky~ Rebeca has already planted her garden. You can see it in the top left surrounded by a stone walkway. She found a money tree seed, so it has its personal space. You will see a daytime picture of the garden once it reaches the harvest state.
View of upstairs showing the placement of the portraits on the tower wall: https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/paige_view_of_tower.jpg
Avery finished the portrait of his mother, Rebeca Paige. The portraits are hanging in the main room on the second floor of their new home. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/paige_rebeca_portrait-1.jpg https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/bertram_portrait.jpg
Rebeca mastered the painting skill. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/rebeca_masters_painting.jpg
Avery finished his second children's book entitled, Where's My Shoe? and will receive royalty payments of §181. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/avery_finished_third_book.jpg
Bertram saw some pretty lights in the sky, so he went to investigate. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/bertram_investigates_lights.jpg
The next thing he knew, he was standing on the road near his home with a strange creature named Exugo Xip. Bertram had a horrifying experience. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/bertram_had_horrifying_experience.jpg
Bertram immediately sat down and described the experience in his journal. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/bertram_journal.jpg
Happenings Around Dragon Valley:
Zebulon Cronin will be starting school soon. He just celebrated his birthday and is now a child. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/cronin_zebulon_child.jpg
His brother Jacques Cronin also celebrated his birthday. He will soon learn to walk, talk, and use the potty. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/cronin_jacques_toddler.jpg
Samuel Silver and Shannon MacAnna are dating. They were flirting at McCafferty's Pub. Shannon had her kitten Sebastian with her. Sebastian is curious about Samuel. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/samuel_shannon_pub.jpg
~texansky~ I got the notification: "Affections appear to be developing between Samuel Silver and Aislin Walsh." I found Samuel at the graveyard with Aislin. I don't think that's a very good sign. Maybe she found out about Shannon? https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/silver_samuel_slapped_by_aislin.jpg
Now Samuel thinks that Shannon's sister Teagan MacAnna is a good catch and "has potential". https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/macanna_teagan_young_adult.jpg
Zebulon Cronin and Aiden O'Connell are spending their time after school fishing in the river.
Logan Cronin and Faye Lum are going steady.
Topher Baker is now a young adult. He was visiting Carol Funke. Topher got a job at the Harmony Hospital. His boss just happens to be Rhett Funke, Carol's father. https://texanskylegacies.files.wordpress.com/2024/02/baker_topher_young_adult.jpg
@Nikkei_Simmer I hope the move was worth it after all that work. Unpacking on the other end isn't very fun either. Take your time and don't overdo it. Since you have moved in, there's no pressure to unpack everything in a day. And don't worry about rushing to post an update here. You and @Featherbelle take care of yourselves. Chapter One: "Love and Loss" was very well done. I enjoyed reading it.
@Karritz I enjoyed watching episode 16 of your Perfect Genetics Challenge. It amazes me how you can handle the size of households that you play, and that you can keep track of everyone! How many worlds are in your main game now?
@Sprottenham Your town looks great!
@Silverofdreams30 Sharon is gorgeous, and Matthew is a hottie! Gator Wolff looks great with that cap.
@emorrill It looks like Emmy Starr will enjoy having Feng Choo as her housekeeper. Those buffalo boneless chicken wings look great. It helps that they included the celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.
@lisasc360 You did a great job recreating your future condo in Sims 3. I love the way you decorated it. :cookie:
@GraceyManor I enjoyed your original version of Harper's story. I can't wait to see if there are new developments that differ from the original. Great storytelling!
@lizzielilyy I always enjoy reading your stories. I get immersed in the story with each chapter. Great job!
