Confessions of a Sims 3 Addict

 I took a break and dropped in on a couple of my older games. Reclaiming Roseward - The premise of this story is the town of Roseward fell to a mysterious, contagious, and deadly illness. In order to protect the rest of the country, the government quarantined and walled off the town for several decades. The inhabitants went crazy and destroyed all means of communication with the outside world.   Today, various probes have been sent in to test the air, water, etc. and have determined that the virus is gone and the area is safe to re-inhabit.  The first organization that wanted a shot at the town was Plumbob Pictures, based out of Bridgeport.  They enlisted Lenny Shutter and his architect wife to scout out the area and report back, which they did on June 8th, 2021:  https://sims3addict248.blogspot.com/2021/07/greetings-from-roseward.html Then Lenny's family, Puzzle Wilder (an up and coming actress and musician), and a handful of other Bridgeport residents mov...

 Reclaiming Roseward #3 - Lenny's new girl and his arrest As stated in an earlier post, Lenny Shutter accused his wife of cheating and moved out.  He ended up in an apartment complex that is full of quirky neighbors. He has since divorced his wife, who seemed pretty happy about being free of him, and he has met someone new. Her name is Vanessa Batt, and she lives in the same apartment complex. She is a vehicle enthusiast, excitable, friendly, has a photographer's eye, and works as an "eager artist." She is the only resident that Lenny has granted access to his private lair.  Note: I only have control of Lenny - the others are townies, including Vanessa. Lenny and Vanessa seem perfect for each other; however, I have frequently witnessed Vanessa flirting and sleeping with (only sleeping) another resident by the name of Denver Bliss.  I don't know much about the other neighbors yet - that's one of Lenny's next goals.  I do know that Denver is climbing the cel...

 I looked back on my Roseward story and realized I hadn't update it.  I just went back to revisit and built an underground bunker for the most recent 10 x10 challenge. A lesson I learned: changes made by visiting/vacationing in a place do not save when you actually move to a place.  I guess the Traveller mod, which enables visiting any world you have, isn't connected to the "move to another town" option - instead you have to vacation there and then select as homeworld.  This meant I had to rebuild all the places I had fixed up on Amber and Lenny's visit. The up-side is I built them back better than before. I saved a handful of households from Bridgeport to the bin and placed them into Roseward - Bridgeport was getting a bit messed up anyway.  Roseward has not only the new Plumbot Film Studio with the capacity to film all kinds of movies,  a school that is more than a rabbithole, a small neighborhood with about half the houses rebuilt and inhabited, and a gy...

Amber and I have been working diligently to get the area ready for the filming of Zombies? Zombies!  The building you chose for your studio is an impeccable choice - centrally located, two 3-storey buildings connected by a sky bridge. Amber has done a great job designing and furnishing your studio, putting in stairs, your office, the dressing rooms, and the sound stages for The King's Ransom, Beyond Neptune, and Are You My Mummy? The stage props arrived yesterday, and while Amber is still not satisfied with the set up for Are You My Mummy? It will ...
