Happy Simming All!

Twitter Event with Grant Rodiek
POSTED ON 30/07/10

Was really exciting last night to read all the information Grant provided to us at the Twitter event.  So many members were kind enough to share the information while the event was ongoing.   So again I thank all the members who were so kind to share the information live.

All I have to say is Squeeee!  I cannot wait for this EP!!  They have added so much to the game play it is indeed blowing my mind!

They have added my trait finally!   Shy, I most definitely will have to redo my Simself in game when this EP finally comes out.  Gosh I wish it was October already!

 

Happy Simming All!

Simming...
POSTED ON 28/07/10

I finally played my game last night for the first time in weeks.  I actually enjoyed playing because it was a game I was playing in Sunset Valley.  Haven\'t been able to play in Sunset Valley Since HEL\'s and it took the second patch for Ambitions for me to be able to actually play that town again.  Most of my games are in Twinbrook, I like that town, but I prefer Sunset Valley.  Although I wonder if I will like the town that comes with the new EP ( Late Night) better!?  Guess we all will have to wait and see if it lives up to all the hype being thrown at us by the advertisements and our own imaginations.

Happy Simming All!

Thank You Dblue055 for the gift!

Thank You Dblue055 for the flip-flop badge!

It was sweet of you to remember me...  I checked your studio and left you some recommends.

Vacuum Cleaners and Me
POSTED ON 24/07/10

Never thought clumsy was really one of my traits, although I have had my moments of clumsiness.  So a few weeks ago when I decided to vacuum the house, I had a slight vacuuming accident!   Yeah I know, I\'m sooo graceful...guess I should have taken those ballet lesson after all, no chance of fitting into that tutu now!   So what I thought was a jammed finger ended up being a fracture...  I\'ve had a splint on my finger for a couple weeks.  I normally touch type, but with the splint it makes it impossible.  I\'m so slow typing basically with one hand.  So I haven\'t really been posting on the forum much.  It takes forever for me to type a post.  I\'m sure no one really has noticed, but I thought I would just take my frustration out in my blog.  LOL, I\'m sure you care!

 

Happy Simming!

Site
POSTED ON 21/07/10

Having trouble with the site this morning...

Was on the forum and then the site went wonky and my browser said it couldn\'t even connect to the site...sigh.  Tried a different browser and nothing worked for about and hour for me...working NOW, but for how long?

New EP "Late Night"
POSTED ON 20/07/10

Yeah!!!  EA announced the new EP for this fall and I am soooo excited for this one, I miss my Sims going out on the town.  There used to be so many random things going on while my Sims were out...I hope beyond hope they allow this to happen in this new EP.  Right now the game is so tame, I mean even if my Sims are downtown by the movie theater all the towinies do is complain that they are tired, hungry, have to pee etc..and get in their cars and leave.  I have never had any Sims actually fight, sometimes an insult or a slap, no random romances...gahhh these Sims are soooo blah.  So hopefully this EP will rock the town to life!

Thanks EA for this EP, I can\'t wait til it comes out!!! 

                                 

EA/NVIDIA Sim Points and Dr. Pepper
POSTED ON 20/07/10

Yeah, I received my 500 points today and was able to gift some people and buy the Daily Deal.  Thank You EA and NVIDIA for the points.  The day has started out really good, so I hope the rest of the day goes just as well! :)

I had 8 caps to redeem for the Dr. Pepper Promo.  They added more items!  Wow, I wonder how many more things they will add.  I got most of the original items when they were accidentally put in the EA store as free items and only had to buy like 3 caps to get the remaining items.  Then they added 10 more items and by then I had given away all my extra codes because I didn\'t think they were going to keep adding more items. :(  Anyway, it\'s pretty easy for me to find the soda in the stores by me, so I just need to keep drinking Dr. Pepper...burrrrp!!  O~o

Dr. Pepper Promotion
POSTED ON 19/07/10
Yeah!!!!  Finally the stores have started to put out the EA Dr. Pepper bottles.  I found like four of them 2 weeks ago.  Then last week they had tons, so I finally have enough caps to get the second group of free items for my game.  Even though it\'s like considered \"free stuff\", it\'s really not since you have to buy the soda in order to get the code.  Oh well, I like Dr. Pepper anyway, so no biggie I guess.... >.>

New Friends
POSTED ON 17/07/10

Just a little note to new friends, I always try to visit your studio\'s, while I may not download your item(s) I will leave you recommends to thank you for accepting my friend request (or vice-versa). 

For whatever reason(s) some  people are pretty frugal when it comes to clicking that rec button.  

 

It is a little difficult to leave rec\'s if your page is hidden.

 

Happy Simming All!   

Castaway Challenge
POSTED ON 17/07/10

I\'ve been playing LadyEmillye\'s Castaway Challenge.  Which can be found here :  http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/182323.page

 

I wasn\'t able to try it until after Ambitions came out because after I installed HEL\'s my game would crash so much I stopped playing TS3 and actually installed the TS2 Castaway game.  It was funny that I would see her thread about a TS3 Castaway Challenge after I installed the TS2 Casatawy game.  Anyway, after Ambitions and patch I was able to play TS3 again, but only in Twinbrook.  Any game I started in Sunset Valley would randomly crash and I couldn\'t build on lots at all without it crashing.  So I built a Castaway Island in Twinbrook.  I haven\'t  had the time to play my game this week, because no time and when I had time I didn\'t feel like playing.  It\'s been so hot out lately, that by the time I got home all I wanted to do was rest or read some stories I follow and make my comments on the forum and then go relax.  I toyed with the idea of making a story on the exchange, but the thought of moving all the pic\'s to my studio...gah it just seems like too much work.  Maybe I\'ll post some pic\'s in this blog...

 

Gosh my eyes are burning, I think I\'ve spent too much time on the computer today! :(

 

Happy Simming All!

Reading Blogs...
POSTED ON 16/07/10

one of my fave pass times on this site.  Sometimes even better than the forum.  Off site blogs are OK if they are posting a story, otherwise they mostly complain about this site.  Not so entertaining.

Yeah, in case your wondering I changed this entry numerous times...hehe...why you say?  Well because I can.

Been a strange week for me...

Happy Simming All!   

Thank You for the gift(s)!

Bshag4lv Thank You for the Grilled Cheese Badge!  Was so unexpected, which makes it so much more thoughtful of you to gift me. I sent you a friend request (don\'t know why I never thought to send you one before  ) ...but I finally did and hope you accept.

\r\n

I\'d also like to thank Seaweedy for gifting me the novelty chair. 

\r\n

I can\'t remember if I thanked you on your story thread, but just in case I didn\'t, Thanks again!

Game Update for: 1.14/2.9/3.5/4.2
POSTED ON 10/07/10

I know the update came out on 7/7/10, but I haven\'t played my game for awhile...to many other things going on in RL.  It is summer after all and just have to enjoy the outdoors, even if it is a little to hot for me.  

\r\n

Before you know it, the cold weather will be back and while I like it cool, seems as I get older the sub zero weather is starting to get to me too.  

\r\n

I digress...back to the patch LOL, I finally downloaded it today and I didn\'t have any trouble installing it.  I read on the forum a lot of people were having trouble installing the patch and it also messed up their game.  So I didn\'t want to rush right in and install it the day it came out.  Makes me wonder why so many people have trouble installing the patch.  It takes my computer maybe a minute or two to install.  People on the forum always complain about how long it takes to download the patch, huh??  Maybe they skipped an update or two??   Anyway, didn\'t notice any difference in the way my game ran, but I haven\'t checked to see if I can play a game in Sunset Valley.  After Ambitions, when I tried to play Sunset Valley the game crashed all the time, so I\'ve only been playing in Twinbrook.  Hopefully I can get more play time in this weekend to check it out.

\r\n

I also noticed they just put out a updated CAW to work with the new patch.  I never downloaded CAW, so not sure if I will now.
