I Guess I'm in a Small Group... 💚
...who find it difficult to make a New Sim? 😎 I'm starting a new Challenge, just for myself. I wanted a new Sim. So I opened CAS and picked the first one. Naw, Not interested. :( I checked my Saved Sims and found one from years ago the game generated and I edited. He's cute. 😄 I wanted a Female. After editing the face and checking back to male, it was too bland if she has sons. :( Back to random! I edited her to make something new and ended up with nearly the same FACE I always make. 🤭 Random, random, random... No, no, no. So, why not my favorite Sim just edited a bit more. Fine! The same Sim I've enjoyed playing for years - slightly edited. Until 😺 In Game! (my computer isn't great) I laughed because she looks so surprised. Not the Sim for me. 🤔 Back to my favorite. Meet Ainsley. Don't ya love the view? A Rags2Richs on the beach start. I noticed the rules don't prohibit going to University nor going into the future Such easy money into the future... But NO. You're going to fish, Girl. You're going to struggle a bit. Do you find it has hard to get a new Sim as I do? 💖💚 *Since I see so many Adorable Sims posted, I guess I'm in a small group of Simmers. 🤳
Moving older threads to Sims 3
Edit: Now that we have a Creative Corner subforum, please feel free to link posts currently in General Discussion that should be moved to CC, or Tech for that matter. Moving long threads also works somewhat better than when this this discussion started. Thank EA_David for that if you see him around. Many threads that were nominated for migration to this forum have been stuck in the Sims Franchise subforum since the transition. This is because moving threads has been difficult to impossible: it times out, it throws an error, it lies and says it succeeded when it clearly did not. The longer the thread, the less likely the move is to succeed. Point is, while the situation hasn't been fixed, it's not for lack of trying. EA community managers can move threads, as can ordinary users with special rank (that orange thing you see next to some usernames). So I thought it would be useful to have a place where people could ask for threads to be moved to the Sims 3 section. If you have a thread in mind for moving, please post here. emorrill and I (and any others who want to pitch in) will keep trying until everything is in the correct forum. Threads that are hopefully in the process of moving: none at the moment
Need Room for Rotational Play in Sunset Valley
I realize that not many people play the Sims 3 rotationally. At least, not many people document that type of gameplay online the way they do for the Sims 2, but I'm planning quite a big undertaking in my own personal game. I have added several families (including plans for new businesses / community lots) to Sunset Valley and plan to play them all in rotation Sims 2 style using NRAAS and other mods. However, I need room for the extra families and the expansion of descendants over time, and unfortunately there's no option to add more space via subhoods like there is in Sims 2. All that to say, does anyone have ideas / techniques (probably using create a world to modify the map I guess?) to expand Sunset Valley with more residential lots in a way that feels organic and keeps most of the premade houses intact? P.S. ~ I know it might sound like if I like Sims 2 style rotational play then I would be better off playing that game, but I love so many things about the Sims 3 like the traits, customization, and open world detail, so I feel like I could better tell my sims' stories the way I want in that game, even if it takes some tweaking to get it working the way I need it to.Roll call for TS3 builders and players
Welcome to the new forums everyone! I’m thinking it will be great to connect with TS3 members who made the transition especially since some folks have different forum names now. Perhaps add a brief intro and link to your studio / site / blog etc. I’ll start… soocoolsim … same name as on the previous sites. Active since The Sims, became more of a builder than a player with TS2 and love building in TS3 the most.

I am confused
The reason I asked was how do I have private message? I missed doing that. 😢 And I only been used this for awhile. Because I couldn't see until I had eyes surgery and with implants and now I can see better. And will be playing Sims 3 again. It's would be cool if EA or just Sims were made just for computer from Sims City to Sims 1-4. That's would be cool. Anyway talk later.
Share your game, alphabet edition!
Hi everyone!! It’s been a big day with lots of change so I thought it might be fun to play a game like the good old days. All you have to do is share something you love about the game or something from your game that starts with the letter of the alphabet following the person before you. You could even add in links if you have a blog or a channel you’re referring to so we can follow along. List of covered things so far: A - Al Simhara, Asian decor, B - Baker's Oven, Bridgeport, C - Creating Community & Collaboration, Carousel D - Dancing, E - Elixirs, Exchange, F - France, Firefighter, G - Generations, Ghosts, H - Hot Air Balloon, Hidden Springs, I - Imaginary Friends, Injections, J - Jam Session, Juice Keg, K - Kill (all the ways to off your Sim), Katy Perry Stuff Pack, L - Llamas, Locomotion Toddler Walker, M - Magician career, Monte Vista, N - Nraas mods, Nancy Landgraab O - Omni Plant, Oasis Landing, P - Plumbob, Palm trees, Q - Queenie Landgraab, Quantum Power Chamber, R - Rollercoaster & Roaring Heights, Resorts, S - Seasons, Shang Simla, T - Travelling, U - University, V - Virtuoso trait, W - Werewolves, X - Xander Clavell, Y - Yuletide, Z - Zany sims, I’ll start: A - Al Simhara, Egypt from World Adventures.
