Confessions of a Sims 3 Addict

 LEPacy challenge: The wedding of Lucy and Cycl0n3. I used to simply have my sims have a private wedding and get on with their lives, but lately I've really enjoyed trying to put on a formal, public wedding and see what goes wrong. Here is a run-down of Lucy and Cycl0n3's wedding. So far I'm only playing with the base game, so I'm limited on things like wedding dresses, etc. I'm also not using anything marked in my build/buy as store content, which means no wedding arches. Because I don't have control of Cycl0n3 yet, I decided trying to have the wedding on the home lot would make things easier to control.  I wanted to get some good wedding pictures. I tried using the rose trellis as background, and my goal was to have them get married in front of it, in the back yard which I had set up with the wedding cake and chairs for the guests.  *** In retrospect, the wedding cake was probably store content and didn't come out until Generations, but this was an oversit...

 I have been wanting to try a LEPacy challenge for awhile now, and since my Trilleena game has gotten to the point that it keeps crashing, I deleted it, so I can justify starting yet another game. If you don't know what a LEPacy is, you start with only the base game for your first generation.  After they have achieved their lifetime wish, you add another pack. The goal is to try to do things you have never done with the game before. I've taken it a step further and added some side rules using this Legacy Randomizer:  http://randomlegacychallengeapp.weebly.com/classic-rules-roller.html Meet Lucy Walton: She is a single young adult with the goal of reaching the top of the culinary career and owning, or at least being a partner, in three businesses. However, she doesn't want this to get in the way of having a typical family with a husband and two children.  Can you make this happen? She is a family-oriented slob who is handy, a great kisser, and has a good sense of humo...

 Here are some recent builds from the 10x10 challenges. This is a day spa. It features a hot tub, treatment lounge chairs, all-in-one bathroom, and rabbithole rug by the front door. This spa is not far from the bed and breakfast, which can be changed to a regular house if the situation suites me. This building features a common area on the first floor that includes a food synthesizer so the guests don't have to make their own food.  The basement has a hot tub, and the upper floor has a castle-themed bedroom and sitting area with a television and a private deck. There's also an all-in-one bathroom down here. (I keep forgetting to include bathrooms in these builds, then they become an after-thought.) All-in-one bathroom is also in the bedroom. Around the corner, is Goth Haven Pub.  A fun little place with a so-called secret.  Grim lives downstairs and there has been a nearly nightly spectacle of watching paparazzi meet their deaths by knocking on his door. Grim makes h...
