Birthday Directory Now Celebrating: No One (That We Know Of)!!
Hi there and welcome to the Birthday Directory!!! Before posting for the first time, please make sure to read this entire post - especially the Important Rules. It is very much appreciated!!! Important Rules: 1) Please do not just post your own birthday without saying Happy Birthday to whomever is having a birthday on the day of your post. We will NOT place you in the directory until you follow this rule. 2) We need to know a little something about you, so we can make your card special! Sims 3: In the About Me section of your Sims 3 My Page, please add some things that you like (favorite colors, hobbies/interests, animals, movies, books, etc). If you only have a Sims 4 account:: There isn't an About Me section, so within your first post requesting to be added to our directory, please add some things that you like (favorite colors, hobbies/interests, animals, movies, books, etc). This will make our lives a whole lot easier, and your card will be much more personal. :) 3) If you are not an active member (no activity in at least 9-12 months) of the Sims 4 or Sims 3 site, we will mark your name with (Will be removed for inactivity). If we have marked your name with this, we consider you as inactive. To reinstate your active status, you will need to post in this thread. If we don't hear from you for an additional year, your birthday will be removed from the directory. The birthday team uses their own personal time, without pay, EVERY day researching and making personalized cards for EACH active members' birthday. It would be too much energy and a waste of time for us to do this for someone who may never see it. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Additional Rules: 1) Please do not quote the months below. We just need you to wish a Happy Birthday to whomever is having a birthday that day, and your month and day of birth. We promise we will figure out where it goes! :wink: 2) Please do not request any store items or place a link to your wishlist here. 3) We can only accept requests to be added to the Directory by the member posting the request. If you would like to add a friend, please urge them to visit this thread and sign up. Birthday Team Members may add someone else's birthday, at their discretion. Multiple Accounts Notice: Please do not add multiple accounts to the directory. If you already have multiple accounts listed here, please leave a message on the My Page of one of our active birthday team members. We will respect your privacy in this matter. If we find that you have more than one account and you did not inform us of it beforehand, ALL your accounts will be taken off the directory. Thank you for your understanding. ---------------------------------------------------- Thank you to all those that consider this thread a happy place to come to, a place where we can celebrate and help brighten our fellow simmer's day!!! :smiley: http://dl7.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1780/1780327vl5fqskqr0.gif Month Links: January February March April May June July August September October November December ---------------------------------------------------- Our Fabulous Birthday Directory Team: ______JediAriel____________Lissykin__________chocbubbles__________StephBE_______TEXASKITTYKAT__ http://lvlt.thesims3.com/sims3_asset/sims3_asset/avatar/shard000/000/005/340/69/543/medium.jpg Current Schedule: **JediAriel, TEXASKITTYKAT & StephBE on hiatus for personal business** Lissykin: Monday, Friday, Sunday chocbubbles: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday If you have any questions or need help with something, please don't hesitate to contact either Lissykin or chocbubbles.

SIMS 3 CHALLENGE LIST (updated March 17th, 2019)
The purpose of this thread is to create a current list of all available challenges for The Sims 3. This includes Legacy and many other type challenges. There have been other threads in the past, but they haven't been updated in at least a year, so here's a new one that will be much more up to date. Please feel free to add any new challenges in the comments! Any thoughts on how you would like to see this list formatted are welcome. Thank you to @ybboccobby04ybboccobby04 , @iButterfreeiButterfree & @ELIROCELIROC for all the work you put into the original posts. ***PLEASE NOTE: Many of the challenges on the old thread had links to the OLD forums for sims 3. That forum no longer exists and I couldn't find any rules for them anywhere else...so they were not put on this list. If you find any let me know!*** I have organized the challenges below by "types" of challenge. Links to find each type are here: Legacy Challenges Gameplay/Story Based Challenges Building Challenges Selection / Contestant Challenges Holiday / Special Event Challenges TV / Movie Fan Based Challenges Pet Challenges HOW TO SUBMIT A CHALLENGE 1. To submit a challenge to be added to the list, please include the challenge name and a working link for full challenge rules. 2. Challenges submitted MUST have their own forum thread or blog/website post for rules. Any challenges posted with rules within this thread will NOT be added to the list. 3. Read below for tips on creating a new challenge. 4. Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Here are some excellent tips when creating a new challenge, written by @EuphorialQueen: When I am reading thru a new challenge suggestion I look for a few key items: What is the story behind the challenge? Tell me something to make me interested in reading more about the challenge. Is it based on another existing challenge? Is it a complete challenge with a beginning, middle and end? How do I start, how do I play and what is the ultimate goal or how do I 'win'? Do the rules or guidelines seem reasonable and can goals set by the challenge actually be achieved? Has the person posting the challenge play tested it? By posting a challenge on a blog or in the forums it is much easier to discuss and ask questions. When updating a challenge or change the guidelines just edit the thread where it is posted. Starting too many threads on the same challenge or subject only adds to confusion and leads to information being lost. These are only suggestions and offer a view of how I - as one person - review challenges. Thank you for your time. Edit: Use spell check and complete words to make reading your post more pleasant and easier to understand. Want to write stories about the challenges you play? Here is an excellent guide to SimLit by @Julyvee94 http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/884045/a-quick-guide-to-simlit/p1 Want to submit stories you have written for others to read?

Play and Share continued
Since we seem to have missed posts in the other thread, I am starting this one. There is no point fighting with deleted post skips on a continual basis. Anyone who would like to share what you are doing with your game and/or your current may join this thread. Also, if you are new to the sims and have questions re: game play or the forums, I hope you will ask them here. Please be kind and friendly to all posters. I request that we follow the forum rules please. Thank-you!

We can all have a look at what you’ve built and learn from it, or help you to make the lot better. Get somebody else's view on your build. or ask any question about building. If one of us doesn't know the answer, we can find an answer to your question or problem. Any link to wherever you promoted your build. But wait, did you promote your build?

Friendly Simmers here, having a chat, won't you join us?
I'm wondering if anyone else is as crazy as me and ready and waiting for the sale to begin? lol, I've always known that I was a Sim Addict rofl For any Simmers that come to our thread we have a little problem with seeing our posts so the way to get around that and see all the latest posts is to add numbers to url Example this is the latest post http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/12368/304822.page#9836878 so take the first set of numbers 12368 and you add numbers to it so I would maybe add 2 numbers so if I added 2 numbers it would then make it 12370 so just change the last number and add to the last number and you might have to do this several times to see all the posts, you can also add more numbers than 2 if you prefer or as few as 1 which would then make the number 12369. Hope this helps :thumbup: Happy Simming

List of things you LIKE and DISLIKE about Apex
Like: - the movement is good - i like the choice of different heroes with abilities - guns are pretty good and balanced (mostly) - I like something to aim for like the Battlepass (but needs better rewards and more variety) Dislike - I don't like, how there is no option to chose your next fav character, incase your busy or distracted. The game always gives me someone I never use. - I dont like team mates selecting my character and doesnt know how to use him and then dies instantly and leaves. - I don't like how the devs dont give us a option for solo, because 90%of the time, randoms dont play as a team anyway. - I dont like how enemy teams always 3 stack and rush means I ping like 50 times for team mates to help and they can hear the gun fire, but they just keep looting. Even though they got purple armour and I got white. Only time I dont help team mates straight away is if I dont have any armour or no gun, otherwise I help. - I dont like how there is no penalty for team mates quitting, specially when you risk your life to get their banner and they still quit. - I dont like how sometimes you can loot 2 buildings and 3 or 4 bins and find not even a gun or armour and my enemy looks one bin and gets blue or purple and a full auto gun. EDIT: Another one I want to add. OCATANES JUMP PAD. As soon as you throw it down, it doesnt always activate. I just died then from this problem. Walked straight over it and nothing happened
