Hi rosemow
Thank you for all you've done for me since coming back to the forums. I'm working a plan I have to able to keep some of my households and Sims in new game saves on the new laptop so I won't be posting updates for awhile. I appreciate you letting me brainstorm the last couple of days about the tech issues I've been having. Since I have most of the decorated rooms in my builds in the gallery, I'll see if the game will let me upload the rooms and open spaces that have not been shared and then piece together the homes of the Sims from Valley Ventures and Silverford in new game saves on the new laptop. Until then I'll hold off from making posts in my threads until my new game saves are set up.
First of all, I should be able to move the households whose homes I was able to share in my gallery either completed or mostly completed. Since I share most of the decorated rooms in my sims homes, I just go in to share the the remaining main areas like upstairs landing areas so that I can piece the houses back together. Some may have to start over in a new house. Although I would like to keep playing all of my households, it's time to downsize them a bit. I'll try to share most of the households whether they are moved to my new game saves or not so others can used them in their new games. The only Sim from the original Jeff & Alice Fancey family who will probably not be moving is their eldest daughter, Vivian.
Vivian lives with her two best friends, Ash Harjo & Luna Villareal in Valley Ventures since Ash and Luna are the only ones still alive from their game families due to the long lifespan and only aging active households. Not sure if I should share the household to the gallery or not because of the original games Sims being a part of it. Although I suppose simmers could add them to their games after the original Ash & Luna have passed on due to accidental deaths or old age. Just not sure how the 'original by' works in the gallery or is something that is automatically done when tagging a creator and/or an original game Sim. The house I built for Vivian is in my gallery so her sister Alice could live in that one with her husband Yuuseke and their young children.
Once enough households from the game saves on my old lap top, the others will probably be retired and like I usually say when a game save ends, live happily ever after so-to-speak. Nova Curious' household from her scenario will not be joining my new games so that I don't have so many Lewis Sancho sims running around in the game. They are currently in my Valley Ventures save and it seems that once one dies in an accident or something have a dozen more take his place. I've read that this happens with Nova's scenario.
That said, I think I'll just share the candid photos from my visit with Khalid Choukri who graduated early and will be ready to age up when he's moved to the new Valley Orphan save on my new laptop. Some of the pictures include Sims from other Valley Ventures households and will introduce them as I go. For now, I'll take a break from sharing stories in my threads until everything is set up in my new laptop.
Last night, I started the of the Alphabet Sim series from a few years ago starting with a new 'letter B' household where each original family member's first and last name begins with B and have traits, aspirations and favorites (if possible or not chosen randomly). Will introduce them below. They will be living in my original 'Shades of Brown' capital B shaped house in Windenburg. Plan to revamp the build and redecorate according to their favorites and refurnish to bring the build up-to-date with the packs I have.
Anyways I'll get back to my threads once the respective game saves are set up in the new laptop. Valley Orphans will probably continue but may combine Valley Ventures and Silverford Valley into one save and have a new thread for my 'Alphabet Sims' called 'Alphabet Acres'.
Hope you enjoy these ideas and look forward to just using my new laptop. Until then enjoy pictures of Khaled's bathroom and candid photos below.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
