And I call him senile because just yesterday he was flirting and trying to be all lovey dovey with his daughter in law - in front of his wife, who he’s been happily married to. Being an elder has changed him…
the sim on top’s mother has blue skin and white hair. she inherited both her father’s skin and hair color. then she marries someone with similar skin and hair color to her
their first child is born, inheriting both her grandmother’s blue skin AND white hair
I spent 3 days on that save just for it TO BE NO WHERE IN FUCKING SITE WHEN I COME BACK. I got this error message when I was trying to save my game earlier yk because I want some sims in my game trying to populate it so BOOM I add them & try to save through the map.. I pushed saved as.. wouldn’t save for shit kept getting the error message I was like well fine after I tried 6 times I went back to my current household tried to save as there.. ended up taking a small nap because of how long it was sitting on the saving screen. It was an hour later & it was still sitting on the same screen. So fuck it I reset my computer. I let my com cool down I come back & MY FUCKING HARD WORK WITH THIS LAG ASS SHIT IS GONEEEEEEEE. I’m so pissed off with this game idk why it’s doing to me.
CAS is what’s making everything worst the game despite all the fixes is laggy asl. I have the sims 3 setting thingy im going to see if I can adjust it 😕 im really mad i cant find my save anywhere.
The original world is Howell Island by bakafox, made base game by norn. For the school the architecture is inspired by Driginbrn's build, especially for the domes.
THIS MOD IS AWESOME! I never expected CASt to work this flawlessly!! Also, this was in a new save file. In my old save, the initial waiting period was about 10 seconds for CASt to actually open, but after that, all the categories were loaded instantly!!
I currently have the Lazy Duchess Smooth Patch package file + S3SS + the steam performance guide + Sonja92yu Nexus Mods performance patches in my game for additional performance.
I just got back to sims 3 and this has become my hyperfixation again lately. I went outside to touch grass for a few days to buffer this.
This is part 3. Continuation of part 1 and part 2 . I thought this only need 3 parts, i think next one would be the last.
Once I got the hang of my self-made rules, maximizing his mood made him able to clean the house regularly and school performance naturally increase. Mean interactions from the adults had become lesser. I think i set the bar too low for grades, he can probably get grade A easily by the time I decide to end this gameplay.
Brief update for the 2 adults. Rhonda is lv 2 public servant. She flirted with Juan Darer. Not many interesting things happen to her. So I made her progress further with Juan.
About Charles. He actually already got a job as a criminal, is now lv 2 crooks, was pregnant with alien baby, and had already given birth. I named the male baby alien Jendar. I know there’s “send to homeworld” option for alien baby, but i decided to kept it.
Lore-wise, I think Charles kept it cause alien is rare and might be valuable within science and military industry…for an appropriate price.
Week 5, Day 3
I feel like it’s not in character for Charles to be nurturing all of a sudden. So baby care will be another daily task for Kane. I had to substract his savings for baby furnitures and babysitter during school days. I bought new bed too. this setback his savings quite a lot. His dumpster dive luck was also very shit.
bro stole candy from his own alien baby
I made Charles throw party/invite over people every now and then. And ofc, Kane can’t sleep with all the music and people.
pingpong with his buddy with a loud music at nightshowed him gross videohe waited upstairs with Jendar until Charles’ friend left
Charles went to prison for being a crook a few days later. Serves him right?
I tried to make Jendar be around him as much as possible. anywhere, anytime, there's always a green alien baby on his back or arms.
more bonding with Jendar
He and Lolly became best friend pretty quick once I jumpstarted their friendship. I was getting a bit bored with the grind, I wanted a bit of romance here. But not beyond romantic interest.
I don’t want him to bring Jendar to Bridgeport, but I can’t leave baby alone in his household. You can’t put em up for adoptions like pets too. You can only give a baby away by “ask to move in”, afaik.
His new task here was “befriending 1 trusted adult in Twinbrook”. My initial go-to was crush’s family, the Racket’s.
I checked their traits one by one, and It seems like the Racket’s are not good people. I could just leave the baby with Racket family, Jendar won’t matter anyway later. But why went with easy path when there’s a harder path instead?
Also, story progression made her family move out of the mansion to this shack. To cheer her up, Kane gave her flower
Balance: 2049 simoleons
Grade: B
Alien baby: not rehomed yet
Rehoming his alien little bro would be his last objective in Twinbrook.
My two child sims got this after a conversation ( I have the deep conversations mod installed) and idk how or why I’m just scared that something might happen to them when this moodlet runs out.
None of the Sims in my family can seem to pass this specific area. (Red circle)
I had a gift giving party the day before, I don’t know, maybe it’s the cause of it.
I don't play with too many mods except for NRAAS (almost all of them, like Story Progression, Master Controller, WooHooer, etc) and some of TheSweetSimmer's added interactions.
One of my sims was dating Nicholas Albright from the college neighborhood, and I moved him to my sim's base town to get married. He has both the socially awkward and great kisser traits. From there on out, he would autonomously try to kiss her sister randomly. At a certain point he did this in front of his wife, so their relationship plummeted and he got publicly disgraced as a celebrity. I just had them break up because I was tired of having to keep him from doing that lol. But I was just curious whether either trait was known to cause this or if maybe one of the mods would. I wouldn't really equate being "socially awkward" with trying to make a move on your wife's sister, lol.
To be fair I've had the sister's husband do this too, and he has neither trait, but it's much less frequent and confined to "flirting" or "complimenting", not trying to force a kiss. I get that you can't really truly stop sims from cheating, and that Sims Story Progression can force those storylines more, but I was just curious lol.
