Made the common urinal even sadder

(not pic by me) everytime i walk pass physalis plants it remind me of flame fruit

peak

I tried to build a resort inspired by the luckee star motel in another game called vampire the masquerade bloodlines. I'm playing in midnight hollow and the atmosphere is always dark and gloomy...

didn’t know sims of a cheating spouse could tell the mistress. 😭 sounds so sassy too. “OTHER… relationship.”

Playing sims Rn and suddenly I got a notification where one of the townies said "The woman said her daughter had died 20 years ago" while my sim was chatting with the townie.

What the actual hell is this notification. It creeped the shit out of me

I was looking at the Sims relationship panel, and I just saw a sim with some WILD hair. Not sure what caused it, but it made me chuckle lol

i just moved my legacy family to a new town, mostly to get rid of stuttering (rip legacy island 3, you were good to me for 5 generations). i added a few lots, got them set up in their new home... now what?! how are we meeting the new sims? any fun lot recommendations? i'm considering avoiding premade sims+families entirely and making my own and furnishing their homes, but i think my nraas settings are still out of sorts because there's a lot of moving and shuffling just in the first few days.

For those of you who don’t know, TheQuxxn was a well known Sims 3 YouTuber during the game’s peak back then. She specialized in let’s play series, create a sim videos, store content reviews, stuff pack reviews, and showcasing her off-camera households.

Unfortunately she passed away on July 13, 2013 due to surgery complications and fans designated July 22nd as Quxxn Day.

She’s the reason I got into playing the sims 3 and her enthusiasm for the game made her videos so fun to watch. Back then I remember I’d listen to her videos in the background while playing lol.

Anyways I just wanted to take a moment to honor her memory. Please share your favorite Quxxn memory in the comments if you have one!

Hope you all have a super, fantastic, awesome, splendid, amazing day :)

Winnifred and Frederick had TWINS.

I am so flabbergasted. Also they're dating now but fighting all the time from what story progression keeps saying.

Agnes and Flora feel absolutely betrayed by Frederick abandoning them and starting a new family, and with Winnie at that 😭

Welcome to the messy sims world to Megan and Mckenzie Stefansson, the half sisters and full cousins of Flora Stefansson.

Story progression is making a better plot than i ever could lmaooo

If you don't know, Tyra Banks published a completely self written YA dystopian fantasy novel titled Modelland in 2011. The story follows a 15 year old girl named Tookie De La Creme and her experience attending the exclusive modeling school Modelland, which also serves as homebase of the autocratic ruler (the BellaDonna) of the world (Metopia) that Tookie and co reside in. I can't recommend this novel enough if you're even the slightest bit interested, and if reading isn't your thing Tyra also fully wrote and produced a song inspired by her insane work of fiction for your listening pleasure 🙂‍↕️

Slides go Tookie, her 13 year old sister Myrracle, their mother Creamy and their father Christopher/Chris-Creme-Crobat, a once super famous and nimble acrobat 🤸‍♀️

One thing that does bug me about TS3 is how you can’t turn off specific features for expansion packs, and are forced to take or leave all of it.

For instance I love the cafe’s, bowling alleys, social media etc from University Life, but I really dislike the social groups system.

I love the film career and instruments from Late Night, but the celebrity system again is too much.

What do you guys wish you could take and leave from the expansions?

Hi yall. I just did some quick calculations treating each sim day as the equivalent of three months. I defined the child/teen boundary at 12 and the teen/young adult at 19 because I like the teen stage, and I set the minimum lifespan of elders at 75 years.

This gave me 4 days in the baby stage, 16 in toddler, 28 for child and teen, 84 for young adult, 100 for adult, and 40 for elder. A total of 300 days. If I change it so each day in an adult life stage is the equivalent of 4 months, I have only 244 days instead. Currently I'm torn, because 300 days sounds like a lot but I really liked keeping it mostly proportional. What do y'all think? Does anyone have other customized age spans they'd like to share?

I’m stuck between doing what the title suggests. A family in Island paradiso owning resorts, being lifeguards and scuba diving or should I do the ranch/farm life let’s play with competitive horse riding and lots of pets. What do y’all find more interesting to watch?

Nobody was playing this game. It's also crazy because the base game sold 10 million copies. There's probably more nuance to this but still. These numbers are crazy low. Nobody played this game. Numbers are so low that ea didn't feel pressured to re-release the game or continue fixing it. Its also crazy that they barely received any backlash for not re-releasing it when they re-released the other games.

People theorize the reason the game didn't sell well was because of performance and just the state of pc gaming at the time. Which definitely has some weight to it, I feel the burnout everytime I clean my savefiles out.

But yeah I'm greatful to the community for keeping the game alive.

Side note: We need the mainline games on consoles

Ways to avoid doing the laundry

Still goated

As kid I was obsessed with the Sims 3 and I wanted to go back for a while, so started playing the Sims 3 again after 12 years. It feels so nostalgic but I am a little bit lost...

I feel like I never truly connected to the Sims 4 like how I did with the Sims 3. When I play the Sims 4 it's basically 80% of the time decorating. I love decorating houses but I miss the open world and the game play. Sims 4 feels a bit flat storywise? But graphic wise it's so nice. There is so much cc, I can decorate and build houses easily.

But getting back to the Sims 3 now has me confused. I am used to the Sims 4 and cc by now and I am like how does everything work😂 I didn't even know how to rotate the camera. Decorating the houses is hard. There isn't even that much furniture. The sims aren't the prettiest. I love the open world so much but it's also a bit overwhelming? And I don't like how much time it takes to get somewhere. I also struggle a bit to get used to the graphics and the way the sims look.

I remember how much fun I had as kid but didn't really experience that fun yet. But maybe that needs time. I haven't done much yet. It was basically me being confused, met some Sims and explore a bit of the town.

I started playing in Island Paradiso cause I was obsessed with it as kid but I feel like that might not be the best choice?

I also cheated in money, I am to inpatient to start with nothing and having a very simple house😂 but maybe that takes away the fun? Cause I am like okay what do I need to do now? I have enough money anyway😂

Anyone feeling the same way? Does anyone have any tips? What could help me feeling a little bit less lost? Which world is fun? How to find story ideas?

(Also I am playing on mac which is a terrible idea I know, it has annoying bugs like not being able to be in the water, eyelashes being a black line 😐 I am saving up for a PC but for now I have to go with what I have. )

I’m doing a super lax 10 generations run where the child that gets the carry on the main line of the family is whatever one gets the imaginary friend in the mail as a baby. I’m on generation 4 at the moment so my sim has an imaginary father and an imaginary grandfather (human great grandfather since the original sim was an adult and couldn’t have an imaginary friend) and it occurred to me that by the end of the 10 generations my lead sim will be less human than imaginary friend
