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 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? 😁

     This post was written on July 31st.... 

    Last edit on: 06.08.2024 - 19:46 UTC+2

    ---------

    Yup, it's christmas time! ;)


    Finally I finished this chapter.. which I have been postponing and sort of dreading to do for a while... because it was always the plan that it should involve the most difficult topic of all - romance! I really don't like writing romance, it's terrifying... so I hope I got it not to wrong.... :P

    So..... here it is..

    It's a long chapter too, so it comes in two parts.

    Chapter 13.2 - December 2023: part III – Christmas Magic With You - this is the first part.
    Chapter 13.2 - December 2023: part III – Christmas Magic With You (continued). - this is the second part.

    Page number part I: ~ 7-8 pages, not counting images.
    Page number part II: ~ 6-7 pages, not counting images.

    Quick summary:

    Beate talking to her mother Cornelia in the bathroom in the basement.

    The chapter begins on christmas morning with Beate wondering about why her father was sleeping on the couch yesterday, so she tracks down her mom (who is busy cleaning the house for the upcoming christmas party) to ask her about it.

    Some men just want to watch a Christmas tree burn...

    The day continues with various objects breaking, a strange bathroom situation and Martin doing a good job at playing the part of the grinch in this story as he appears to grumpy at near everything from christmas decorations to their tenant Tay taking a shower in the bathroom down in the basement...

    Martin is harassing Tay again for something.

    Like I said.... but anyway, after a while the guests finally arrive and the party can begin. Beate has a plan in store...

    Bhavan Chitrakaar, local fire fighter hero.


    ..and well, I don't want to give spoilers, but towards the end of part one it certainly looks like the part is about to fail.. so.. well, it didn't really go 100 % according to the plan, but maybe it turned out good anyway.... ;)

    Tay Bayless opening his gift.

    In part two is where you will find the attempt to execute the plan, before the party continue with the usual gift wrap opening.. as usual, maybe, not everyone is going to be happy about what they got, but that's just how it is..

    Noah is a little sour.

    Then towards the end of the second part another secret that isn't really a secret is revealed, before its time to go home and get some sleep...

      SprottenhamEnjoyed your post. 😊

      I sympathize with your struggles posting on here, and your feelings about the new forum. You're not alone. 💜 I've been having the same issues and they've been driving me just as batty. 😬 I (we) can only hope it will get better with time...

        emorrillWhy thank you. ;)

        I hope the highlight of the chapter in part two wasn't to corny.. ;) It was a struggle to make that happen too, because of course the other main character was adamant to go to his work, which would have completely ruined the plan.. which is why it ended up a little different on the porch.. ;)

        Yeah, I don't want to come off as to sour and negative, but first it was the disappointment that this was actually the new forum, and then on top of that it doesn't even work! So yeah, it has to get better, there is no other option. ;) So that it can actually be a fun experience to post again and share stories from games.. because honestly, this last experience wasn't very fun.. <_< >_>

        ..and because of what I read about Tays family on the sims wiki he ended up speaking in a certain way, and I hope it doesn't come off as derogatory. Also there was a mention about him having an issue with apostrophes, which I'm not sure if I understood fully where it comes from.. maybe it would've helped if I was an American. ;)

      I tried... I really tried.. just go to i my blog, in my bio, this is just utterly useless.... It won't let me post links nor images in this thread... why not?

      Edit: Well, somehow it worked if I went back and added only one picture and one link per edit.... but really, this is way to complicated just to make one post....

        I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. I was able to post these images in one edit. My post is a bit long, but I hope it will help you and others having the same issue.

        When you are in this thread writing a post, the sixth option below, starting with B for bold, is a piece of a linked chain. To insert a link like this one - My domain, (texanskylegacies.com), be sure the cursor is where you want the URL text to appear. When you click the chain link, a window pops up. Unlike other programs, this box will have the space for the URL on the top and the name you want to show the readers on the bottom.

        So for the example I posted here, the URL link "https://texanskylegacies.com" was typed into the top space, and "My domain, (texanskylegacies.com)" was entered into the bottom space. I only put the URL in the "Text to Display" so people would remember it to find my site later. You don't need to show the URL in your post unless you want to. If you want the URL in your post, paste the URL into both boxes.

        To enter an image, put your cursor where you want the picture, click on the camera, and select either From Computer or From Image URL, you can choose to upload one from your computer, or point to an image from your blog. I get the URL for my blog images by going to Media, clicking on the image I want to post, copying the URL on the information panel next to the image, and pasting the URL into the space in the pop-up box.

        To use an image from your blog, paste the URL into the box on the pop-up window. The picture should appear wherever your cursor is at the time.

        To Insert from your computer: navigate to the folder where the picture is located, select the image you want, and click the Open button. The image will be uploaded to this site and embedded into your post. It will appear wherever your cursor is located.

        This one of Precious Forsythe (left) and Precious Joy Forsythe (right) was from an image on my blog site:

        This random picture of a garden using the SwiftGro Gardening Station was from my computer:

        The only difference between the two is that the top image from the website was inserted by pointing to the URL, and the bottom image from my computer was uploaded and embedded into this post.

        If you have it figured out by now, the information I provided here can still help others with the same issues.

      Nope, that didn't work... This forum is truly useless. Or maybe it just doesn't like me.. well, the feeling is definitely mutual.

    I haven't posted anything on here. I just cannot get used to these forums. They just dont feel as user friendly as the other forums and this feels more an answers and questions forum rather than for storytellers.

        I have had this happen to me when posting. 😪I can always find my post after refreshing the thread or post. It shows up again and then I can edit it here on this site and repost it? This site is so glitchy that it looks like your post was deleted or didn't post but for me when I refresh the post, it's still there ready to hit reply. I blame this site, and I would always refresh your post to make sure it actually didn't show. 🙄 🙂

      I agree. You just have to ignore the chaos and post if you really want to share your game. It's more relaxing in the sims 3 section than sims 4. 🙂

      I'm not really fond of it either, maybe once there are more options for tags? The non stop scroll makes it much harder to keep up though. If we wanted reddit, we'd post on reddit :p

    Hi everyone! 

    I forgot to update Evergreen over here (still adjusting to the new forums) but here are the latest chapters!

    Generation VII Chapter Sixteen Part I: A Watery Grave

    Tragedy strikes Evergreen House as the Prophecy shows no signs of relenting. Celebrating the birth of her daughters and the loss of her treasured brother takes its toll on Winnie. 

    Generation VII Chapter Sixteen Part II: Which is Witch?

    Winnie celebrates her birthday and receives the gift of a lifetime from Max, but before she can enjoy it fully she insists on finally understanding which of her daughters will be the one to break the Curse.

    I can't say I like the new forum. It's a bit of a mess, difficult to navigate and it doesn't have the warm welcoming look like the old forum. But I hope they will make improvements. 🙂

    A pic from earlier this summer. My great grandsims, cousins Robin (the blonde) and Susanne (the brunette) had fun. The cat, Nova, didn't need cat makeup for obvious reasons. 😄

    emorrill, it's been some time since I've played in Hidden Springs so I've forgotten most of its townies except for Bruce Chesterfield (because my sim married him). Both Ryan Anderson and Andrew Songs are  really well-made premade sims - they are not supermodel handsome, but they are still good-looking and look like real humans.

    And thank you for the info that our feedback is being listened to!

      I very much agree, in that they look the more realistic handsome. 👍🏻 And Bruce is my man! 😉😁🥰 I absolutely LOVE him! 

      And you're welcome. 💜

    Alllllrighty my friends! 😁

    Welcome back to Part 2 of my last Emorrill's Random Gamplay: Revisiting Sam's Hidden Springs Edition post - New Sims forum style! 😄

    *Another quick, friendly reminder and I won't say it again, lol: Always share your new posts on here by "making a reply" in the box at the very bottom of the page so that it's a New comment and not a comment on someone else's post. 👍🏻 <--Your lovely post gets lost in the shuffle that way. 😘

    Now let's get it started! 🎵

    The next household I moved on to is another single sim: The Anderson Household: Ryan Anderson.

    I caught him just as he was coming back from somewhere. 😛

    You know - looking at him up close and personal in CAS - he's not as awful looking as I was expecting...

    After giving him a new skin and custom eyes - naturally - I noticed that he too is wearing an earring. On the Left ear, so he's Straight. 😜 

    See, with such a beautiful smile he's not a bad looking premade. 😊

    ^Personlly I'd ditch the beanie, but as usual I like to keep them as true to the way EA made them as much as possible. And yes, I've changed many a hairstyle on a premade sim, but in this case I feel like the Beanie is his trademark. 😉 Moving on...

    While I played around with him for a bit, I noticed something 🦌approaching his home via the backyard...

    I love the deer in game. 🥰 (Especially ones that aren't blacked out...)

    So of course I had Ryan go and "Watch" the cutie. Naturally the deer was a little timid about his presence...

    The deer ran off a couple of times, which frustrated Ryan, so when it finally stopped and Ryan had the chance to approach it, he was like, "Ooohhh yeah! Gotcha now buddy!" ⭐

    Aaaaand the routing failed. So Ryan complained - Goddess laughed 😆 - and the deer turned its head and was like, "That's right *Bleep!*" 🤣

    And once Ryan was finally able to pet the deer, the two got WAAAAY too up close and personal. 😆 (Can you tell how much I was cracking up?)

    Then the deer gives me this sharp look like, "And what are YOU laughing at!? Don't think I can't hear you!" 😂

    And then next thing we knew, a horse ran onto the property! 😃

    Pretty pretty horse. 🐎💜 She was nice and let Ryan pet her right away. 

    Then her foal showed up! 😃

    The foal didn't like Ryan so much...about as much as the deer didn't like him. lol!

    He got a phone call from some sim - can't remember who - and started pacing around during the conversation like we all do.

    And then a different deer pranced on by! 

    I was like, "Dang! There's a lot of wildlife action going on in Ryan's backyard!" 😃👍🏻 I love it! (Our own foresty backyard is similar. 🥰)

    This is the beauty of Hidden Springs y'all. 🏞

    Back to the horses: this scene here looks like this horse just gave birth! 🤣 

    Anyhoo!

    I noticed in Ryan's friendship panel that he's pretty good friends with Madeline Moore and...Goddess remembered just how very single she is as well... 😏

    So I might've had her stop by. 😜

    Ryan was happy to see her and chat. 😊

    With encouragement from the Goddess, Ryan threw out a little flirt and Madeline leaned in with a smirk like, "I'm listening....." 😏

    So Ryan threw out even more "suggestions" and that was really exciting Madeline. 😄

    After a sensual backrub...

    ...Ryan leaned in to Madeline again and whispered, "You know, I've kinda had these feelings for you for a while now..."

    "Really!?" Madeline exclaimed, then clasped her mouth shut in embarassment. "I mean," she started again softly, "I've had feelings for a while for you too Ryan..."

    When Ryan's face shined brightly, she couldn't help crying, "Oh Ryan!" and jumped into his arms. 

    "In that case then," Ryan began, after gently placing her down on the floor, "would you, Madeline Moore, be my girlfriend?"

    "...Sorry if that sounds cheesy," he added.

    "No, it's sweet," Madeline assured with a gleam in her eye. "Yes!"

    Then Ryan gave her a sweet kiss. 💗 Their first kiss...

    Immediately afterward, Madeline pulled him in for more! 😏

    And with that, Ryan suggested they make out somewhere a little more private... 😁💕

    And we all know what happened next. 😏

    #WooHoo! 🎉😂🙌🏻

    I think I'll end this post on that note. 😉

    So that's it for Emorrill's Random Gameplay for now. 😊 Keep on simming my friends, even though this forum is still going through some growing pains. 👍🏻💜 We'll get through it together. ⭐

    *Please PLEASE continue to share your feedback/complaints in the appropriate areas on the forum! They are listening y'all...Really. Trust me.* 😘

        I'm kind of feeling low about the state of the game and the technical issues with this forum right now. 

        I just keep reminding myself that this most recent game (Sims 4) comes from the beginning. That makes everything better. 🤗

        I hope this platform or forum can become a place where simmers feel and are comfortable to share their thoughts and gameplay. 😊

    I’m working on building my own Hogwarts in Sims today. I’ve found a decent map I like of the castle, so I’ll see how it goes. Right now, I’ve decided to use 4 64x64 lots in a square to do some preliminary building. However, it may change as I’m starting in a corner where the Hogwarts Greenhouses go, and I think if I continue as planned, I won’t have enough room to build the part of the castle next to them, which has to fit all on one lot. So I may have to build the castle part on that, then add a 5th lot of some kind to put the greenhouses on instead. Some parts of the castle will be empty as I won’t use them, and unless I change some things, it’ll be on flat lots instead of a hill like in the movies.

        Well now some of the keys in my laptops keyboard stopped working. It put a halt to everything until I get it fixed. (If I can).

        Edit: Unplugging laptop from charger and taking out the battery reset whatever it was. Keyboard is working again.
