Whee.
POSTED ON 07/08/09

Well, I\'ve gotten the hang of making stories in The Sims 3. It\'s a bit of a process for me, and doesn\'t really involve playing the game so much as puppeteering it. I keep a Notepad file open, where I write the captions for each picture. I also keep the Sims 3 screenshots folder open so I can view the pictures outside of the game. In-game, I position my Sims in a decent pose to go with the caption, then snap 1-3 pictures from different angles. Then I pick from the three which one will represent the caption, and note it down in Notepad. All the uploading is pretty straightforward after that.

I need an Alien. Seriously. I\'m gonna browse the exchange, but if anyone\'s made one and wants to point me to it, please do. It needs to look kinda like the ones from The Sims 2. Anyone who used to follow my story knows they had an alien son, but I couldn\'t recreate him initially. I\'m going to try again if I can\'t find a sufficient replacement. Can\'t continue without him at this point.

My Suggestions for the Store
POSTED ON 07/03/09

Your things would please me greatly: 1) To see more free items released to the store, for people like me who really can\'t afford to spend $20 every two weeks on a game. 2) That the prices in the store would go down considerably. 3) A system where Simmers who contribute to the exchange could earn store credit. It could just be 1 Sim Point per recommendation for all I care. That\'d still be a huge help. 4) An option for a monthly fee for the Store. $15 a month is what I pay for my current MMO addiction, and I definitely wouldn\'t mind paying something around that for unlimited access to the TS3 store\'s goods. I bet some other people wouldn\'t, either.

Those are just my suggestions, though. They don\'t all have to be implemented to make me happy. Just one of them would be nice.
