For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a wonderful time yesterday. And for those of you that went Black Friday shopping today, you're nuts. :) I spent my Black Friday playing <i>Seasons, </i>and I am loving it. It is definitely my favorite TS3 expansion pack.<br />
<br />
My friends on Twitter know that I have been thinking about how I want to continue blogging. I love sharing with you what's going on in my game, but to be honest blogging had become a grind that I wasn't enjoying. I didn't want to give up blogging, but I desperately needed a way to make it fun again.<br />
<br />
I've been playing around with <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/blog/snarkysims">Tumblr</a> this week. For a long time, I really didn't understand Tumblr. I would even say it intimidated me, but now that I have tried it, I like it. Tumblr does have its limitations. As I discussed with my Twitter friends, it is easy for followers to miss posts on Tumblr. So, I am going to use Tumblr to post interesting pics I take in the game that might not fit the story line.<br />
<br />
A couple of my friends also recommended WordPress. The funny thing is that WordPress intimidated me too, but for entirely different reasons. Still, I decided to try it out. <i>I am in love. </i>I like WordPress's editor far more than Blogger's. Linking pages together is a breeze, but what I love most about WordPress is the custom menus. The menus give me more control over how my blog looks. I chose a template that gives my blog a newspaper feel. If you remember, <a href="http://snarkysims.blogspot.com/">my very first blog</a> was written from the point of view of a gossip columnist. (Um, ignore that part about me not getting <i>The Sims 3</i>.)<br />
<br />
So, I said all that to say I have moved to WordPress! This site will remain up, but I won't be updating it. I hope you will join me at the <a href="http://megamaxisnews.wordpress.com/">new site</a>.I already have a few posts there. Take a look and please let me know what you think. Thank you for all the support you have given me. Your taking the time to read my blog means the world to me.snarkysimshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14836312060754709863noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214544870464921564.post-69876371557402616592012-10-10T10:21:00.002-04:002012-10-10T11:36:24.404-04:00Aging, Seasons, and Groundhog Day?<i>Warning: This is going to be a massive post. I haven't been posting much but I have been working a lot of things out in my head, and I'm now ready to share them with you.</i><br />
<br />
Ever since <i>Seasons</i> was officially announced, I have been trying to figure out how I want to incorporate aging and seasons into my hood. If you remember when I was doing the TS2 version of this blog, I had given my Sims actual ages based on the initial number of days left in their age stage. I've been wanting to do the same with TS3.<br />
<br />
<i><b>A Sim-Year</b></i><br />
I was inspired by a great <a href="http://newrochellesims.blogspot.com/2012/08/gameplay-aging-rounds.html">post</a> from Rachel at New Rochelle, and I will be following her model with a few changes. Like Rachel, my Sim-Years will last forty-eight days, and I will play each family for four days which is a Sim month. I really like the idea of playing them for four days. A week is too long for me to play in a single play session, and only playing them for a day wasn't always giving me enough substance for a post. Four days is the perfect medium. I will set my seasons to be twelve days each which is equivalent to three months. I will set the lunar cycle to twelve days also. It really should only be four days, but I don't want to deal with the full moon that often, so twelve days works better for me. I have also installed Rachel's <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?e92g0a0hu9g3g87">36-day pregnancy mod</a>, so that Sim pregnancies will be nine months long. Instead of using Story Progression's TS2-style aging option, I am going to leave aging on.<br />
<br />
My lifespan will be set as follows (1 Sim day = 1 week):<br />
<br />
Baby - 24 days (0 to 6 months)<br />
Toddler - 168 days (6 months to 4 years)<br />
Child - 384 days (4 years to 12 years)<br />
Teen - 336 days (12 years to 19 years)<br />
Young Adult - 1008 days (19 years to 40 years)<br />
Adult - 1440 days (40 years to 70 years)<br />
Elder - minimum of 240 days (elders will live at least to age 75)<br />
<br />
I was able to create this life span using Laura's <a href="http://lhbabble.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-modify-aging-mod-and-updates-on.html">wonderful tutorial</a>. Incidentally, this is my Long lifespan. In my Short lifespan, 1 Sim day = 1 year. In my Medium lifespan, 1 Sim day = 1 season (three months). In my Normal lifespan, 1 Sim day = 1 month. And, in my Epic lifespan, 1 Sim day = 1 day! Once I have tested the mod thoroughly, I may offer it for download.<br />
<br />
In addition to having an actual birth year, my sims will also have a birth month based on their astrological sign:<br />
<br />
Capricorn - January<br />
Aquarius - February<br />
Pisces - March<br />
Aries - April<br />
Taurus - May<br />
Gemini - June<br />
Cancer - July<br />
Leo - August<br />
Virgo - September<br />
Libra - October<br />
Scorpio - November<br />
Sagittarius - December<br />
<br />
<i><b>A note on University... </b></i><br />
If you watched Maxis's <a href="http://www.origin.com/maxis-live">October 9th broadcast</a>, then you know Producer Ryan pretty much confirmed that <i>University</i> is the next expansion pack for <i>The Sims 3</i>. I don't know how University is going to work or if they are going to introduce a new life stage. For now, I am planning that the first four years of young adulthood (ages 19, 20, 21, and 22) will correspond to the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years of University. I have installed Twallan's <a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Careers">Careers mod</a> and Rachel's <a href="http://newrochellesims.blogspot.com/p/custom-careers-as-university-majors.html">custom majors</a> to simulate University for now. I am sure I will have to re-visit this when the expansion pack ships.<br />
<br />
<b><i>A note about Fertility...</i></b><br />
Since my Sims will be adults until age 70, I need a way to stop them from getting pregnant at unreasonable ages. When a Sim hits 40, I am going to block Twallan's Story Progression from getting them pregnant. Specifically, I am going to set the "Allow Pregnancy: Progression" setting to false, but leave the "Allow Pregnancy: Any" set as true. This will allow me to manually get them pregnant if they roll a wish for a baby or if they have the Surrounded by Family lifetime wish. However, at age 40, it will be presumed that the Sim underwent a fertility treatment, so the chance of twins and triplets will be higher and I will likely charge the family a fee. After age 45, I will also set "Allow Pregnancy: Any" to false, so that the Sim will not be able to get pregnant at all. (Judy Bunch will just barely make it because I think she will start off at age 45.) <b><i> </i></b><br />
<i> </i><br />
<i><b>Groundhog Day?</b></i><br />
Well, now that I have devised this system (in addition to figuring out how to prevent the Face One Virus and stop my Sims from constantly switching partners), I really want to start over with Sunset Valley. I won't delete the posts I have already written, but once I have Seasons installed and all of my mods updated, I will be beginning again. It will be September 2000 in Sunset Valley. This will be the third time I've started this blog. The third time's the charm, right? <i>Right????</i><br />
<br />

We have finally made it to the last house in Round 1 of Sunset Valley! It only took me a year and three-quarters to get here. *rolls my eyes* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last house belongs to Holden Wozny and his new bride, Faith. For the longest time, I read Holden's last name as <i>Wonzy</i> until I noticed the "z" came before the "n." I suspect his name is a nod to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wozniak">Steve Wozniak</a>. I digress..</div>

<b>Holden: </b>No worries. I was just giving Faith a hug before she leaves for work. We believe it is important to always have a moment together before parting. With her being in law enforcement, I know there's always the possibility that I'm saying goodbye for the last time.</div>

<br />
1) <b><i>I wish I had known about the Face One Virus.</i></b> When I first started playing, I didn't know all of the townies were generated with the same face. I thought <i>The Sims 3</i> behaved more like <i>The Sims 2</i> which generated the townies from a set of templates. For more details about the Face One Virus, see my <a href="http://thelazlolegacy.blogspot.com/2012/01/lazlo-legacyharmony-33.html#more">legacy blog entry</a> where I explain it in more detail. Since I initially allowed the homeless to move in, I have a lot of townies running around with the same face. I am seriously considering annihilating them with Master Controller so that their genetics don't overrun the town.<br />
<br />
You can prevent this situation by installing <a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/Register">Twallan's Register Mod </a>and configuring Story Progression to generate townies from your Sim bin. See <a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/StoryProgression+FAQ+Immigration">Twallan's FAQ</a> for more details about managing immigration.<br />
<br />
2) <b><i>I wish I had known I could limit the number of romantic interests a Sim can have. </i></b>This didn't really become a problem until <i>Generations</i>. With the introduction of the Romantic Reputation system, Sims with multiple love interests have a difficult time maintaining a steady relationship. This is a big part of the reason why you see my Sims break up so often. Twallan's Story Progression Mod has a setting under the "Flirt" menu that specifies the number of romantic interests a Sim can have at a time. By default, it is set to zero, which means there is no limit to the number of romantic interests a Sim can have. I have now changed this setting to 1. I am hoping that will reduce the volatility in the Sims' relationships. I don't think it will help the current young adult/adult generation much, but I am hoping it will help the future generations.<br />
<br />
3) <i style="font-weight: bold;">I wish I had known the EA team was going to release so many darned neighborhoods. </i>Ok, I put this one in for the lols, but seriously they have already released eleven neighborhoods and there is at least one more on the way (Moonlight Falls).

Pablo's ex-wife has moved on to Casanova, Galen Hickey. I know I have said it before, but Katrina, Fiona, and Jennifer just can't stay away from the Casanovas and gigolos.<br />

<span style="color: purple;">Ok, so Marley and Aimee wanting to "go legit" was inspired by both of them starting off in the Criminal career, but wanting to switch to Writing and Medicine. Nick Alto did actually call Marley to discuss art, so that's where I got the idea of them being art thieves.</span></div>

To the anonymous jerk, you must not read my posts because I clearly explained why I haven't been posting. You know there are more important things in life than publishing a blog. I am literally dealing with life and death issues, and I don't need some ungrateful troll.<br />
<br />
To my supportive readers, I really appreciate you bearing with me through this time.snarkysimshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14836312060754709863noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214544870464921564.post-17229508257861288552012-05-28T10:36:00.000-04:002012-05-28T10:46:27.331-04:00What's going on?<b>Fan X:</b> Snarky, you haven't posted in ages! How come?<br />
<br />
<b>Me: </b>The short answer: Because I don't feel like it. The long answer: I've been dealing with a lot of stuff. There is the ongoing situation with my mom and busyness at work, but my maternal grandfather passed away unexpectedly. He was my last living grandparent. I have also been dealing with my own health issue that requires most of my time.<br />
<br />
<b>Fan X:</b> Wow, you've got a lot on your plate. At least you are having fun playing the game.<br />
<br />
<b>Me:</b> Not really. I haven't touched the game in about three weeks. I am very frustrated about the direction EA is taking this franchise. I am not happy about <a href="http://thesims.com/katyperry?intcmp=TheSims3StoreApr12_Internal_ComSplash_SP6Announce">Katy Perry's Sweet Treats</a> at all. I don't like real-life brands being mixed with the game. It's just a quirk of mine. I have also heard <a href="http://simsvip.com/?cat=84">rumors that EP7 is about magic</a>, and I was hoping for weather. So, I just don't feel inspired to play the game right now.<br />
<br />
<b>Fan X:</b> So you are abandoning The Sims community?<br />
<br />
<b>Me:</b> No, I am still reading some great blogs by fellow simmers. There's Mao's <a href="http://sims3.maonao.net/aperture/">Aperture Valley</a>, HTRootbeer's <a href="http://twinbrookfields.wordpress.com/">Twinbrook Fields</a>, Orangeplumbob's <a href="http://differentrain.wordpress.com/">Different Rain</a>. And there's still some TS2 favorites, like Carla's <a href="http://sullivansims.blogspot.com/">Sullivan Sims</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Fan X:</b> When are you going to update your own blogs?<br />
<br />
<b>Me:</b> The short answer: When I feel like it. The long answer: With my health issue, I need to focus on reducing my stress. I beat myself up a lot about not posting regularly, so I have to stop doing that. I make no promises as to when the blogs are going to be updated. The Lazlos probably will not be updated anytime soon. I did finish playing through Sunset Valley for my Mega Maxis blog, so I'll get those posts up eventually.<br />
<br />
<b>Fax X: </b>You like to play games for fun. What are you playing now since you are not playing Sims?<br />
<br />
<b>Me:</b> I'm still enjoying Civilization V. It's nice to play a game without having to worry about taking screenshots and blogging. And there's something deeply satisfying about dropping a nuke on Montezuma after a bad day.snarkysimshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14836312060754709863noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214544870464921564.post-45232345925556157972012-05-06T11:25:00.004-04:002012-07-18T15:13:13.598-04:00Round 1: Wan 1 - No Hanky Panky<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Me:</b> Besides, Hank's living arrangements were a little creepy. He was living with Jamie Frio, her ex-husband, and her new fiance. There was too much hearbreaking going on in that house. It's not a good environment for the kids, and I rather Hank raise his own kids. That reminds me. How are you two doing towards your lifetime wishes?<br />

I have the latest phase of Twallan's Story Progression installed now, so my Simmies can adopt pets. I can't wait to get back around to the Keatons to meet this little guy.</div>

Yesterday, I played through the VanWatson, Wainwright, and Wan lots. Today, I will play through Williams, Wolff and Wozny. Stay tuned, there will be posts this week!snarkysimshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14836312060754709863noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214544870464921564.post-12080174697102748172012-02-26T22:13:00.000-05:002012-02-26T22:13:46.960-05:00It's (Almost) ShowtimeThe release of Showtime is right around the corner. The Sims 3 site
will be down for maintenance for several hours tomorrow while they make <a href="http://simsvip.com/?p=6025" target="_blank">the changes to "My Page."</a>
A patch may be released tomorrow which means I'll be mod-less until
Twallan releases updates. He's usually pretty quick about the updates,
though.<br />
<br />
I know the Simport feature is controversial,
but I plan to try it out. I also plan to work on the achievements. I am
really concerned how these new features coupled with mods is going to
affect the stability of my game, so I am thinking I will probably run
the game without mods for a few weeks. Twallan has also released <a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/StoryProgression">a new phase of his Story Progression mod</a>, so I'm going to have to test that out first before I can play my Mega Maxis save with it. I'm thinking I'll be able to resume
posting in mid-to-late April. Gosh darn it, I'm going to finish Sunset Valley!<br />
<br />
I've also been meaning to ask you guys this: When I finish Round 1 of Sunset Valley, would you rather I continue with Round 2 in SV or should I move on to Riverview? It's taken me over a year to get through Sunset Valley. It's true I had a lot of long breaks in between, but I'm thinking at this rate it could be like seven years before I get to Round 2. Should I just play this hood out completely and then move on to Riverview or should Round 1 be a full rotation of all the hoods? Please post your opinion in the comments.<br />
<br />
Finally, if anyone is interested in Simporting with me (why does that sound so wrong?), feel free to send me a <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/mypage/snarkysims" target="_blank">friend request</a> on The Sims 3 site. (Remember the site will be down for several hours tomorrow starting at 8 AM PST).snarkysimshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14836312060754709863noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214544870464921564.post-15358104786083464612012-02-21T22:41:00.000-05:002012-04-30T10:38:59.175-04:00Round 1--Ursine 1: He's Just Not That Into You<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>Author’s Note:</b> EA recently released the new store
neighborhood, Lunar Lakes. When EA comes out with a new hood it makes me
nostalgic for my <a href="http://megamaxissims.blogspot.com/">Mega Maxis</a>
blog. This draft has been sitting on my hard drive for several weeks now, so I
thought I’d blow off the dust and finish it up. I started writing this not long
after the 1.29 patch came out, so I know the fixed babies is old news. Anyway,
here it is….<br />

<b>Me: </b>Hey, Claire! Wow, it's true. EA really did fix the baby heads. Tracey looks adorable.<br />
<br />
<b>Claire:</b> Um, who is Tracey? My daughter's name is Emily.<br />
<br />
<b>Me: </b>Oh, you're right, my bad. I confused her with someone else.<br />
<br />
<b>Claire: </b>I am just about to put her down for her nap. One of the neighborhood teens is going to watch her while I go work out at the gym.<br />
<br />
<b>Me: </b>Trying to lose the baby weight?<br />
<br />
<b>Claire:</b> Yes, and I've been noticing this really cute guy at the gym lately. I think he might be interested in me.<br />
<br />
<b>Me:</b> Careful, Claire. You don't want to repeat the mistake you made with Jared.<br />
<br />
<b>Claire:</b> I won't. Things moved way too fast with Jared. I'm going to take it slow.<br />

He’s like a brother to me.</p> <p>Me: And then you went and married Cycl0n3. I was kinda hoping he and Blair would get together.</p> <p>Gwen: But I really love Cycl0n3. </p> <p>Me: And then you guys move to your own place, adding one more lot on my rotation which makes it take a little longer to get through Sunset Valley.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/4de05d42b3cc_125FD/TS3W-2011-11-27-13-49-05-05.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="TS3W 2011-11-27 13-49-05-05" border="0" alt="TS3W 2011-11-27 13-49-05-05" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/4de05d42b3cc_125FD/TS3W-2011-11-27-13-49-05-05_thumb.jpg" width="369" height="484" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/4de05d42b3cc_125FD/TS3W-2011-11-27-13-49-10-89.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="TS3W 2011-11-27 13-49-10-89" border="0" alt="TS3W 2011-11-27 13-49-10-89" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/4de05d42b3cc_125FD/TS3W-2011-11-27-13-49-10-89_thumb.jpg" width="369" height="484" /></a></p> <p>Me: Plus, you both decided to change careers on me.

He has the most awesome name in town, Lukas Glover-Sw0rd.</p> <p>Cycl0n3: Yeah, we think it’s cool too. That’s why we didn’t change it when we got married. He’s a bit fussy because he’s colicky.

I can’t remember if Galen is a Gigolo or a Casanova, but it doesn’t matter to his wife Anne. She wasn’t putting up with his extra curricular activities, so she divorced him and moved in with Madison and Maximus. Oh, and Anne, don’t think I didn’t notice how you made yourself playable by moving in with the Van Watsons. </p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/4de05d42b3cc_125FD/Screenshot-20.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-20" border="0" alt="Screenshot-20" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/4de05d42b3cc_125FD/Screenshot-20_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>Anyway, it’s birthday time for little Lukas.

I’m annoyed because she’s the Mayor of Sunset Valley, but Sim wishes rule.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-14.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-14" border="0" alt="Screenshot-14" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-14_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>Christopher Steel is supposed to be an Angler, but he decided he wanted to join the Fire Department instead. This is his first call.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-26-23-49-04-07.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="TS3W 2011-11-26 23-49-04-07" border="0" alt="TS3W 2011-11-26 23-49-04-07" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-26-23-49-04-07_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="128" /></a></p> <p>It’s the home of Claire Ursine.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-15.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-15" border="0" alt="Screenshot-15" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-15_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>Now, I know Chris is a popular pick as a legacy founder’s spouse, but I’ve never really paid him that much attention. I must say he does look rather dashing in his uniform.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-18.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-18" border="0" alt="Screenshot-18" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-18_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>Watching him fight that fire is really endearing him to me.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-26-23-23-32-62.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="TS3W 2011-11-26 23-23-32-62" border="0" alt="TS3W 2011-11-26 23-23-32-62" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-26-23-23-32-62_thumb.jpg" width="351" height="484" /></a></p> <p>He has another fire to fight back at the station.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-13.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-13" border="0" alt="Screenshot-13" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-13_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>Apparently, Chris is the only male firefighter in Sunset Valley. From left to right, this is Gena Close, Glenda Sellers, and Eliza England. Lucia Gillespie and Shasta Goodson round out the squad. My husband was watching me play and called it the “Politically Correct Fire Station.”</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-21.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-21" border="0" alt="Screenshot-21" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-21_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>While Chris is at the station, Tori is hosting a lunch party to get to know her new boss and colleagues. This was supposed to be a dinner party, but I forgot to change the time in the party planning screen. Anyway, I can tell that Shelby Donner is really keeping the guests enthralled.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-27-00-12-04-00.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="TS3W 2011-11-27 00-12-04-00" border="0" alt="TS3W 2011-11-27 00-12-04-00" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-27-00-12-04-00_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="203" /></a></p> <p>Well, at least one person is enthralled by Shelby. Too bad it’s one of Hank’s baby mamas. And speaking of Hank..</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-26-23-57-08-78.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="TS3W 2011-11-26 23-57-08-78" border="0" alt="TS3W 2011-11-26 23-57-08-78" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-26-23-57-08-78_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="203" /></a></p> <p>He’s moved on to yet another woman.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-22.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-22" border="0" alt="Screenshot-22" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-22_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>Shelby certainly isn’t enthralled by his ex-wife, Tamara. Tori invited both of them to the party to see if they could rekindle their relationship. It doesn’t look like that’s going to happen.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-27-00-05-21-12.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="TS3W 2011-11-27 00-05-21-12" border="0" alt="TS3W 2011-11-27 00-05-21-12" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/TS3W-2011-11-27-00-05-21-12_thumb.jpg" width="383" height="484" /></a></p> <p>Tori turns her thoughts to kindling something with Leighton. Um, don’t waste your time, Tori. Leighton is all about Monika right now. By the way, did you forget you were married?</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-23.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-23" border="0" alt="Screenshot-23" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-23_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>Tori finally manages to get face time with her new boss, Maximus VanWatson.</p> <p><a href="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-24.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Screenshot-24" border="0" alt="Screenshot-24" src="http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm161/belladuke97/MM3/Round-1-Steel-1Did-you-forget-you-were-m_97AB/Screenshot-24_thumb.jpg" width="644" height="364" /></a></p> <p>And my, what face time it is! Look at the smoldering looks he’s giving her. We may have another office affair brewing.

I really want to finish Round 1 of Sunset Valley before the end of this year. I’ve got ten houses left after this one, assuming no one splits up.

I just wanted to put up a quick post to let you know that I may not get any updates out this weekend. This week has been rough, and  I haven’t had much time to play. I’ve had a sinus infection that has had me down for a couple of days, but the major thing is my mom. If you remember, back in October, she had another stroke that affected her ability to swallow. She was in the hospital for about a week and then in a nursing home up until about three weeks ago when she came home. </p> <p>She was doing fine up until last Friday when suddenly she was not able to swallow food again. My dad and I took her back to the hospital and after many tests, the doctors discovered that her throat had begun to close up. On Thursday, they performed a surgery to open her throat back up, but they said it will take six weeks to heal. In the meantime, they have inserted a feeding tube so that she can continue to get nourishment. I was with her at the hospital last night and she was looking good, so I’m hoping for a speedy recovery. Your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>If I don’t get an update out this weekend, I hope to get one out sometime during next week.  Take care and stay tuned! </p> snarkysimshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14836312060754709863noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214544870464921564.post-5206125260973694762011-02-22T15:21:00.000-05:002012-04-30T10:38:59.218-04:00Round 1: Lum 1–Dumbfounded<p><em>This  entry is going to be 99% Story Progression updates because the Lums did nothing.

Nancy: Illiana, I just got off the phone with Mr. Amin, and he is very unhappy with our promotion campaign for his new resort. Tell me something, did you proofread the brochures before you mailed them?…You did? Then explain to me why we had a huge typographical error on the cover of the brochures. Do you know what the difference is between the Simharian word for Indulge and word for Woohoo?… It’s one letter, Illiana! Guess which letter we left off the brochure? Our brochures certainly don’t say “Go Indulge Yourself!”<br />

Illiana, I won’t tolerate shoddy work by anyone on my staff….don’t get me that excuse about being tired because of your new baby. I have two new babies, Illiana, and I always bring my A game. I expect nothing less from my team. This little mistake has cost us greatly. Do you know how hard it is for a Simerican company to get a foot in the door in Al Simhara, let alone a company run by a woman? Mr. Amin was very forward thinking and took a chance on us. We let him down. You let me down. I’m sorry, Illiana, but you’ve left me with no choice.<br />

Geoffrey: Nancy, I need to entertain a city official to get funding for the hospital’s new neo-natal wing. I thought we could throw the girls a birthday party and invite him.<br />
Nancy: A party tonight, Geoffrey? That won’t work. I need to work on my Simharian because I’m going to have to go grovel to Mr. Amin in person if I want to save this account.<br />

Geoffrey: ENOUGH, NANCY! I’m tired of you putting your job ahead of your family. More importantly, you put your job ahead of your own health. Look at you, Nancy, you’re tired. I don’t even know how you’re remaining upright at this point. Go to bed, Nancy. I’ll take care of the girls and the party. You can worry about Mr. Amin in the morning.<br />
Nancy : But, Geoff-<br />
Geoffrey: GO TO BED, NANCY!<br />
Me: *snickering* He sure told you!<br />

<i>When it was time for the girls to grow up, Jamie brought Sophie to the cake. I’ve never seen a guest bring the baby to the cake. </i><br />
<i>You will also notice that Nancy got out of bed. She had to because Geoffrey got called back to the hospital for an emergency. That dude worked a lot in this 24-hour period. When I switched to the family at 6 AM, he was already at the hospital. He came home around 7 AM and had to go right back at 9 AM for his regular shift and then he got called back around 10 PM.</i><br />
