Create A Story
POSTED ON 06/12/09
I wanted to create a story chronicling my Brandi Newbie (Brandi Broke in TS2)\'s life, but I dropped that idea when I discovered how effing complicated it is.  We have to type up the story all at once, so we basically can\'t make stories until we have all of the snapshots.  A lot of the time, I come up with captions right when I take a snapshot, so I\'d have to save my thoughts on Microsoft Word if I want to remember them.

Someone correct me if I\'m not right.  I\'m not going to ask in the BBS because that place scares me.

Edit:  Eh, I might resort to Microsoft Word to type up my stuff.
Me and my game!

Riverview
Today I played Riverview a little bit.  Sunset Valley was getting a little crazy for me, since it\'s the only neighborhood that I\'ve been playing since the game was released.  There were babies coming out left and right, romances that I wanted to start because I prefer to be the only one who has a say in that, and people moving out of their houses on their own accord, so starting out with a new and different neighborhood seemed like a breath of fresh air.

I haven\'t gotten too far in Riverview because I went on a makeover streak, jumping from house to house making over all of the ugly pre-made sims.  Thankfully, the TS3 sims are much easier to make look good.  In TS2, we were basically stuck with what we had.

I don\'t really understand why Don Lothario is in Riverview.  I would prefer to play his parents and have him be a toddler or something, or they could have put Don in Sunset Valley with Bella, but whatever.

Me and TS3
I really am liking TS3.  There are some aspects that annoy me, but I remind myself that this is a new game separate from The Sims 2.  The sims aren\'t meant to look like the sims from TS2, and the game isn\'t meant to be played like TS2.  I do like how in TS3, the game\'s focus is more on the town as a whole, rather than the individual lots.  In TS1, we could play one lot forever and it wouldn\'t make the slightest difference.  Now the game series has made a complete 180 and I like that.
