A few more days of playing and my game is stuttering. It would freeze at random, or take forever to save (if at all 😠). I'm a little pissed off because I was actually doing alright!! My eldest just turned into a YA and 3 new additions joined the family (we're now at 15). All I can say is thank god I managed to take a screenshot before it froze again.

I honestly believe this is my laptop's way of putting an end to my sim's scum man ways 😆

Despite my lack of TS3 activity here, I promise you I have been dutifully fulfilling my part offline! And since I have a bit of time to waffle about nothing, I will now bore you with my crap...

First, work and life hasn't been going so well, but nothing unusual there. While I can't say I'm burnt out, I could do with a break. I can feel my energy levels depleting every time I give eyerolls to my junior colleagues (yes, I am that old furniture senior who loves to whine lol). Not sure about you, but I've abandoned many saves simply due to lack of energy and not to mention I can get bored quite easily too. Oh, and the lag never helps.

Which brings me onto the main reason for posting in the first place! I was eager to try a short challenge that, in theory, shouldn't be too demanding on the brain and nothing that would stress me out - so I present Family Man, a challenge by thatmadgirl over at MTS.

Oh man, I cannot tell you how stressful this has been!

It was fine to begin with, I guess. The aim is to father as many kids as possible, so I had to get working!! At first I felt like to be an emperor flipping name plates and choosing a different concubine every night. Then, as time went on, I felt like such a sleazy scum man (this is what I ended up calling this challenge). What really caused me stress was whenever I attended a party, every single sim I was sleeping with was guaranteed to show up as well. The stress of being accused, getting caught, or having arguments was unreal!! I really don't know how people can deal with this amount of stress in real life!! Thank god I am but a simple sim man...

To end, I share with you my progress so far (sorry about the blurry screenshot). I started the challenge earlier this week (a couple of hours per day) and my sim Sheldon is a young adult (still). Scumbag and his scummy behaviour aside, in terms of the challenge itself, I seem to be on track. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure 3 of my 'friends' are currently pregnant so yeah, I've been busy.

To the person who sent me an ask about my random townie sim file, I'm so sorry for reaching out to you like this but I no longer have the ask and can't remember your username...

I've tried looking for her in my sim bin and savedsims, but I'm afraid I don't have her. I'll probably have to check my old saves to see if I can spot her around town, but this isn't the best method and might take a while. To be honest, it might be easier if I tried to create her from scratch 🤔

I'll keep you posted!!

For everything else, if it isn't listed then it's likely to be base game or expansion stuff.

I have a crap ton of sliders installed and I honestly have no idea which were used but in an attempt to keep cc to a minimum, I've tried not to use too many . In any case, I have everything on Simtanico’s comprehensive slider master list, as well as their own set of released sliders.

Yuki Kaiou's Bachelorette Challenge

Ok so after a lot of thought, I decided to make a BC to find a life partner for Yuki!

Now, who's Yuki?

Yuki is the 5th generation heir of the Kaious legacy. She grew up in Riverview in the midst of her family wealth, and didn't know yet what she would want of life, but as a typical golden child of a rich family, she wants to do crime 🙄 She and her nuclear family moved out to Twinbrook searching for a fresh air, but Yuki doesn't feel like the town has anyone "worthy" of her... Hence the bachelorette challenge!

Traits: Hates children - Clumsy - Bookworm - Loves the heat - Clepto LTW: Become a Master Thief

Rules:

Vanilla sims only.

Young Adult sims. (I forgot to add that sorry x.x)

Sims of any gender, since Yuki is bisexual.

Human or witch sims only allowed.

No Irresistible trait.

CC allowed, but don't exagerate and please refrain from using high poly CC. If you send me a sim with any high poly item I will take the liberty to change it. Store content is encouraged, if you use it please link me the pieces (it will be provided by blams fwiw).

Please no custom sliders.

I have all EPs and SPs (yeah even Katy Perry), so feel free to dress up your sim with it!

Don't forget to introduce your sim with a short bio!

Upload you sim in .sim format, preferably with a .txt with links of the CC used. I will not accept sims in .sims3pack.

Deadline: October 31st, plenty of time, but could be extended if I don't get all the contestants in time. There are 8 slots available. To participate, you need to make a post introducing your sim and then send me an ask with the download link ☺️

Leo Macclesfield for Yuki Kaiou's BC by @bellakenobi

Leo was born into a bustling city, where energy spilled from every corner. Orphaned at just five, he barely recalled his parents' faces, but their absence carved a deep fear within him—a haunting solitude he loathed. To fill the void, he learned to charm everyone around him. With a dazzling smile and a talent for stirring laughter, Leo became the life of every party.

Despite his charisma, inside Leo grappled with the ache of loneliness. He thrived on being surrounded by others yet feared the moments when the crowd would fade away. His athleticism fueled his adventures around the city, from parkour on rooftops to raucous celebrations, always seeking connection. Behind the laughter, Leo's vibrant exterior masked a heart that yearned for lasting bonds.

And here's the same pic edited on an app 🤩 he looks so cute, I just couldn't help but share it

My lovely little gardener 👨‍🌾

Hey guys, its been a while since I've posted anything. I hope you've all been well. I've been busy at work, among other things, but have been lurking around, and playing different saves every now and again. My little gardener was born in game in one of my older Meadow Glen saves (can't remember how many gens this is though). The only thing I did was update his make up and clothes. He's so pretty, I couldn't help but share a couple of pics hehe.

❤️

Hi there, my name is Ella, and I have had a constant headache for 14 years. I am 26 years old. Painkillers do not work.

The pain is caused by a Pineal Cyst. Pineal cysts are relatively common, 1-2% of the population has one, but it is not common that they cause symptoms. Few doctors on this planet even believe they do cause symptoms.

I need Pineal Cyst Removal Surgery if I am ever to experience a pain free day again. The only hospital that offers this surgery in my country, England, is deciding whether it wants to bear the risk of offering this surgery after I was on the waiting list for 6 months. I have found two European surgeons who can perform this surgery and believe I am a good candidate for it.

Needless to say, I, being a disabled unemployed person, cannot afford the surgery. I should be able to have it free on the NHS but it is not routinely offered so they won't fund me getting it abroad.

I am suicidally depressed because of my chronic pain. Doctors don't care about this cyst because it's not a threat to my life. Anti-depressants can only dull the pain so much.

Can people please reblog this, no matter how small your blog is, so that it can get traction?

[simsmono]

He looks absolutely gorgeous in your game, and look at his sleeves, I love it!! 🥰🥰🥰 Photoset and editing looks amazing as always. Thanks for using him, and for showing me❣️

Cigarette Break.

Corvino Emo x Scot Oracle

Makeover (no genetic edit) of Mr. Emo by @simsmono

Thank you so very much for sharing him! <3

I named him Corvino because of his dark hair. I wanted to see how he might look as a bit more grunge metal...so, this is how he ended up

. Many thanks again to @simsmono & all CC creators!

[simsmono]

While bored and waiting around for things to happen in the main household, I did my usual roaming around town, spying on other sims.

Today, I found this cutie hiding behind some bushes while happily fishing by the pond, so decided to take a screenshot.

I feel like my game is spawning prettier townies by the day hehehe...

The Bachelor Beaumaris: Maybe Babies, 3 of 6

Gosh, we're almost half-done here. Time flies. What if Gabrielle and Gregory had married and had children?

Presenting Felix, Marguerite, and Robert Beaumaris with their parents.

Felix looks like Gregory, but there's just a hint of their mother to him. Marguerite looks like Gabrielle, but with darker hair. Robert looks exactly like Gabrielle, but with Gregory's nose; he also had a tragic skin accident in CAS, where everything but his face was grey, so I had to cheat and put him in Gregory's skin. Had this not happened, he would have inherited Gabrielle's HD Primer.

Sorry to hear its been dragging on for so long!!

@staff please reinstate @pitheinfinite

Help Me Take My Account Back

Hi, this is Pi, Pitheinfinite, the founder of @pis3update and @pis3story & the joint founder of ts3creatorscave.

About a month ago, my original account @pitheinfinite got suspended by tumblr with no reason provided. I followed the protocol and filed my complaint but my patience got no reward. No response. Nothing At All.

It's time to take some real actions I think. Please help me by urging @staff to give my account back. Even though I've been on hiatus for quite some time and still don't have much time for the game or the community at the moment, I want to keep the place I've built for years, knowing that I always have a home here to go to.

Besides, my story sideblog pis3story, unlike pis3update, has only one member/admin, and will go down with my original account.

Please help me. Reblog this post and tag the staff, asking them to make things right. It's those porn zombie that they should go after, not the long term users. Thank you💜

[simsmono]

I love how this looks, very creative

Seven lovely ladies are seeking a husband…which of them will win his heart and become Lady of Ferncombe Hall? Poor Gregory is going to have his work cut out for him choosing only one!

Pinterest Challenge

Go to Pinterest and search: "celebrity", "outfit", "quote", "aesthetic". Post with the FIRST picture in each category that appears that is your vibe.

Late to the party, again! It's been so long that I honestly cannot remember who tagged me (sorry, but much love and thanks 😘). I don't use Pinterest much except when I need references so wasn't sure what I'd get, but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.

Celebrity: Leonardo DiCaprio during his cute days.

Outfit: This is me alright; I practically live in black baggy stuff and have far too many flats and trainers (not even sure if I own a pair of heels anymore).

Quote: Also very me.

Aesthetic: The search results showed a lot of random funny shots like cactuses in sunnies but while I found those funny, they aren't really my aesthetic (at least, I hope not hahaha). In the end, I just went with the first picture that appealed to me. I love pretty much everything in this picture, plus it's in anime style to boot.

I won't tag anyone as I'm pretty late to this tag game and I've seen plenty go around already. Please feel free to join in if you want to!
