			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;">Happy Holiday Mini Challenge</span><br />
<br />
The holidays are about peace, love and goodwill towards others. So no matter what you celebrate this season get your sims in the holiday spirit as well. To complete this challenge you will want to start with an existing family.<br />
<br />
The best way to get into the holiday spirit is to decorate! This will be really easy if you have the Happy Holiday Stuff pack. If you don’t there are a few items for download on the exchange and if you’re creative enough you can find other ways to get your house ready. <br />
<br />
Create a Family in Create a Sim or play an already established family in game.<br />
<br />
Next you will want to take the family on a shopping trip to buy gifts. Let each one pick out what they really want and buy it for them. Or you can make each other gifts from one of the work benches (especially kids toys!!). Be sure to keep all of the items in inventory until you are ready to give out the gifts. <br />
<br />
The rest of this challenge is in three parts<br />
<br />
Peace<br />
Have your sims made an enemy’s? Well now is the time to repair those relationships. To forgive those who have wronged your sims and to ask for forgiveness of those your sims may have wronged. Be sure to get the relationship to at least a friendly level but best friends is even better. To complete this part your sims must forgive all relationships, even that scoundral who robbed them. <br />
<br />
Love<br />
Love comes in many different forms. First and foremost during this season you will want to make sure you have great relationships with the most important people of all, your family. Don’t forget those family members who have moved out or gone to college. The other form of love is a bit more decadent…Have your sims had a dream date lately? One sim in your family must go on a dream date, who knows they might even get a gift! Don’t forget about your Teenagers. Have they found their first love? Had their first kiss? <br />
<br />
Goodwill<br />
This part of the challenge will require your sims to take in a less fortunate NPC and welcome them into your family. The best way to make someone feel welcome is to give them a place to stay; build them a nice room in which to sleep. This sim must become friends with everyone in the household. Don’t forget to help them out with finding and job and building some skills as well. You can move this sim out after the holidays knowing you helped them get a fresh start.  <br />
<br />
When all is completed get the family together for a wonderful holiday meal. You can use the buffet table or have your sims cook a meal. As long as everyone is together it doesn’t matter. Don’t forget to get a family picture to remember your great holiday spirit!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I started a new legacy-type game today. My aim is to complete every self-employed job/rabbithole career/profession available in the game, hence "Workaholics". Along the way I will set some relevant challenges for the sims in each generation but nothing too serious. No scoring or draconian rules. I'm tired of doing serious in RL at the moment - this is just for a laugh and a distraction. <img src="images/smilies/new/yes.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Yes" title="Yes" /><br />
<br />
The only rule I'm imposing on myself is that I will allow the selection of two traits per heir, so that I can choose some things specific to their career, but the other traits will be randomised rolls of the dice and I will just have to put up with whatever silly traits the game assigns. That should stop me always picking the same ones! The only exception to this will be the founder sim, as she is already made and her personality is fixed in my mind since TS2 and cannot possibly be changed at this late stage.<br />
<br />
You may (or may not) be glad to hear that the Sims Forums staff simselves have also been placed into the game, so for the first couple of generations at least I can see what they get up to unsupervised (frightening things, I predict).<br />
<br />
<img src="images/smilies/new/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Biggrin" title="Biggrin" /><br />
<br />
Right, let's go.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Founder: Vanessa Valentine</span><br />
<br />
Here is the lovely Vanessa. She and I have been playing Sims together for many years now - about a decade!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_01_founder.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_01_founder.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
She's a bit of a rock chick and always has a lot of guys (and girls, actually) chasing after her. I decided she might like to start out in Lucky Palms. As well as being into music, she also happens to be a natural cook, so the first career to be completed will be the <span style="font-weight: bold;">culinary</span> career. That should be a nice gentle start.<br />
<br />
Extra culinary and life challenges for Vanessa will be (1) get an arts degree, (2) max out the most relevant skills to her career - cooking, gardening, fishing etc, (3) make an heir, that is quite an important one mustn't forget that!, (4) practise music because she really loves her guitar, (5) complete her LTW, which is 'Living in the Lap of Luxury', so she's going to need to get rich somehow, (6) learn all the recipes available.<br />
<br />
That should keep her busy.<br />
<br />
I wasted no time in getting her into the level one job down at the diner.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_02_diner_job.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_02_diner_job.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Her fridge started out totally empty (don't they normally have a bit of food in them at the start?) so I had her visit the community gardens to gather some ingredients and also make a start on her gardening skills.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_03_harvest.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_03_harvest.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I need her to save up as much money as possible so she started out in one of the small starter homes in the abandoned-looking area of Lucky Palms. The not-so-lucky bit. Since she'd harvested all those nice salad goods, that was all she had for dinner for a couple of days. Good thing it is salady summer weather.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_04_firstmeal.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_04_firstmeal.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">New friends (old faces)</span><br />
<br />
As well as trying her best to befriend her boss and colleagues, for career advancement purposes, I also made sure she bumped into the SF staff at an early stage.<br />
<br />
Here we are in our kitchen, eating pancakes as usual. We get through an inordinate amount of pancakes.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/PancakesHousehold.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: PancakesHousehold.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Minty and Vanessa got along well and, as a fellow chef, Minty was pleased to pass along some of his polenta preparation tips.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_05_cookingadvice.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_05_cookingadvice.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #006400;">"You have to whisk it like crazy!" </span><br />
<span style="color: #C71585;">"Oh, I see!"</span><br />
<br />
Things didn't initially go well with getting to know Ollie. The newly updated Ollie is proper and a perfectionist and found Vanessa's casual dress to be an abomination. Presumably Caspin's inexplicably bare feet and pigtails were also upsetting him. He changed into a James Bond outfit and let them know how underdressed they were.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_06_underdressed.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_06_underdressed.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Fortunately Caspin was able to lighten the mood, as well as keeping to the culinary topic, by cracking some jokes about turkey legs. OK then.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_06_chickenjokes.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_06_chickenjokes.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I think they will all be firm friends after that.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A shocking end result</span><br />
<br />
No, I am not speaking of Spain exiting the World Cup. I was quietly going about my business of sending Vanessa to and from her shifts at the diner and remodelling the interior of her little house, occasionally wandering over to the SF house to see if they were OK.<br />
<br />
I could see from the Story Progression notices that the boys, at least, were very busy. Very busy indeed.<br />
<br />
Every so often, Ollie would be dating some young lady or other.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/YoungLove.png" border="0" alt="[Image: YoungLove.png]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Sweet!<br />
<br />
Minty, on the other hand, managed to get himself a very naughty reputation, apparently hell bent on dating every female in town. On several occasions I found him and Caspin indulging in some over-familiarity because they were both completely drunk, or 'juiced' as the game puts it.

<br />
You know, I wanted Minty's sim to get abducted by aliens for sooooooo long and I could never get it to happen. All the sims that were abducted were always girls. Vanessa has been abducted a ludicrous number of times. But now, when I was least expecting it, off he goes for his probing. And I was really distressed and wanted those aliens to put him back on the ground!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I started a new legacy-type game today. My aim is to complete every self-employed job/rabbithole career/profession available in the game, hence "Workaholics". Along the way I will set some relevant challenges for the sims in each generation but nothing too serious. No scoring or draconian rules. I'm tired of doing serious in RL at the moment - this is just for a laugh and a distraction. <img src="images/smilies/new/yes.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Yes" title="Yes" /><br />
<br />
The only rule I'm imposing on myself is that I will allow the selection of two traits per heir, so that I can choose some things specific to their career, but the other traits will be randomised rolls of the dice and I will just have to put up with whatever silly traits the game assigns. That should stop me always picking the same ones! The only exception to this will be the founder sim, as she is already made and her personality is fixed in my mind since TS2 and cannot possibly be changed at this late stage.<br />
<br />
You may (or may not) be glad to hear that the Sims Forums staff simselves have also been placed into the game, so for the first couple of generations at least I can see what they get up to unsupervised (frightening things, I predict).<br />
<br />
<img src="images/smilies/new/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Biggrin" title="Biggrin" /><br />
<br />
Right, let's go.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Founder: Vanessa Valentine</span><br />
<br />
Here is the lovely Vanessa. She and I have been playing Sims together for many years now - about a decade!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_01_founder.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_01_founder.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
She's a bit of a rock chick and always has a lot of guys (and girls, actually) chasing after her. I decided she might like to start out in Lucky Palms. As well as being into music, she also happens to be a natural cook, so the first career to be completed will be the <span style="font-weight: bold;">culinary</span> career. That should be a nice gentle start.<br />
<br />
Extra culinary and life challenges for Vanessa will be (1) get an arts degree, (2) max out the most relevant skills to her career - cooking, gardening, fishing etc, (3) make an heir, that is quite an important one mustn't forget that!, (4) practise music because she really loves her guitar, (5) complete her LTW, which is 'Living in the Lap of Luxury', so she's going to need to get rich somehow, (6) learn all the recipes available.<br />
<br />
That should keep her busy.<br />
<br />
I wasted no time in getting her into the level one job down at the diner.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_02_diner_job.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_02_diner_job.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Her fridge started out totally empty (don't they normally have a bit of food in them at the start?) so I had her visit the community gardens to gather some ingredients and also make a start on her gardening skills.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_03_harvest.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_03_harvest.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I need her to save up as much money as possible so she started out in one of the small starter homes in the abandoned-looking area of Lucky Palms. The not-so-lucky bit. Since she'd harvested all those nice salad goods, that was all she had for dinner for a couple of days. Good thing it is salady summer weather.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_04_firstmeal.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_04_firstmeal.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">New friends (old faces)</span><br />
<br />
As well as trying her best to befriend her boss and colleagues, for career advancement purposes, I also made sure she bumped into the SF staff at an early stage.<br />
<br />
Here we are in our kitchen, eating pancakes as usual. We get through an inordinate amount of pancakes.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/PancakesHousehold.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: PancakesHousehold.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Minty and Vanessa got along well and, as a fellow chef, Minty was pleased to pass along some of his polenta preparation tips.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_05_cookingadvice.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_05_cookingadvice.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #006400;">"You have to whisk it like crazy!" </span><br />
<span style="color: #C71585;">"Oh, I see!"</span><br />
<br />
Things didn't initially go well with getting to know Ollie. The newly updated Ollie is proper and a perfectionist and found Vanessa's casual dress to be an abomination. Presumably Caspin's inexplicably bare feet and pigtails were also upsetting him. He changed into a James Bond outfit and let them know how underdressed they were.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_06_underdressed.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_06_underdressed.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Fortunately Caspin was able to lighten the mood, as well as keeping to the culinary topic, by cracking some jokes about turkey legs. OK then.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Vanessa_06_chickenjokes.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: Vanessa_06_chickenjokes.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I think they will all be firm friends after that.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A shocking end result</span><br />
<br />
No, I am not speaking of Spain exiting the World Cup. I was quietly going about my business of sending Vanessa to and from her shifts at the diner and remodelling the interior of her little house, occasionally wandering over to the SF house to see if they were OK.<br />
<br />
I could see from the Story Progression notices that the boys, at least, were very busy. Very busy indeed.<br />
<br />
Every so often, Ollie would be dating some young lady or other.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/YoungLove.png" border="0" alt="[Image: YoungLove.png]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Sweet!<br />
<br />
Minty, on the other hand, managed to get himself a very naughty reputation, apparently hell bent on dating every female in town. On several occasions I found him and Caspin indulging in some over-familiarity because they were both completely drunk, or 'juiced' as the game puts it. Nobody seemed safe from his advances, including the population's elders.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/OlderLadies.png" border="0" alt="[Image: OlderLadies.png]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I started to wonder if it was a cunning get-rich-quick scheme, as the old birds were dropping like flies and, as Grim took them away, Minty was inheriting some cash for his services!<br />
<br />
Then I spotted this and decided that he was simply practising the free love he must have learned at his choice of high school.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Workaholic%20legacy%202014/Explanation.png" border="0" alt="[Image: Explanation.png]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
But I digress. The shocking end result to today's simming...... <img src="images/smilies/new/DancingAlien.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="DancingAlien" title="DancingAlien" /> <img src="images/smilies/new/DancingAlien.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="DancingAlien" title="DancingAlien" /> <img src="images/smilies/new/DancingAlien.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="DancingAlien" title="DancingAlien" /><br />

Unseen and Loved is my new sims 3 series that I am making. Counts as stories right?lol. <br />
<br />
 But it's about this boy who moves to a new house across town when his family loses all their riches and the house next door to his new house is this old creepy haunted looking house; which soon becomes his get away from life and a place to work on his art. <br />
<br />
 Please check it out and like and subscribe! It would mean a lot. I have a couple episodes out and the next will be out soon. So I hope you really enjoy it as much as I like making it <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><br />

Unseen and Loved is my new sims 3 series that I am making. Counts as stories right?lol. <br />
<br />
 But it's about this boy who moves to a new house across town when his family loses all their riches and the house next door to his new house is this old creepy haunted looking house; which soon becomes his get away from life and a place to work on his art. <br />
<br />
 Please check it out and like and subscribe! It would mean a lot. I have a couple episodes out and the next will be out soon. So I hope you really enjoy it as much as I like making it <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><br />

			<description><![CDATA[All righty. So after a little bit of mucking about and shouting abusively at my Launcher (don't show it any sympathy - it deserved to hear everything I said and it should now be sitting shame-faced on the naughty step), I finally played Into The Future.<br />
<br />
And here's what I discovered. The future's bright, the future's.... blue. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_01_Blue.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_01_Blue.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Blue hair, blue buildings, blue light. That's OK, though, I like blue. Blue-haired future dude gave me a jet-pack, which is a very quick way of getting around, but annoyingly glitchy in that my sim keeps taking it on and off. Just leave it in your Mary Poppins-esque capacious backpack!<br />
<br />
I did like the fancy orb computers that float and project a screen into the air. It looks nifty. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_02_NewComputer.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_02_NewComputer.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I did half expect Tom Cruise to appear and start predicting where the next murder might happen. Hopefully he can't detect thieves, seeing as once she'd finished her web surfing, my sim pocketed the orb whatsit and took it back to the present day, where she sold it and bought a pizza oven with the ill-gotten proceeds. <img src="images/smilies/new/clapping.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Clapping" title="Clapping" /><br />
<br />
I'm always quite interested in the graveyards of new towns. The Oasis Landing one is not especially interesting, but you can harvest some handy grave-side lettuce while you do a bit of mourning for your dearest departed plumbot.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_03_GravesideLettuce.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_03_GravesideLettuce.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
A lot of the graves were for plumbots, which I thought was odd. Surely you just replace their parts and they 'live' forever. Or else you'd scrap 'em and recycle the bits and bobs.<br />
<br />
Anyway - check out the hover-thingy in the background! I should try one of those. However my favourite new mode of transport in OL is definitely this:<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_05_Transport.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_05_Transport.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
It just looks so great, with the track appearing ahead of you in the form of light discs. <br />
<br />
I met some plumbots in the park. This one became my friend. Her name is Gladys (truly) and she laughed at all my jokes and found my conversation about the weather to be really fascinating. <img src="images/smilies/new/yes.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Yes" title="Yes" /><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_04_Gladys.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_04_Gladys.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
You get food in the future from a synthesiser, which they have of course stolen straight out of Star Trek. I don't know whether these guys came with ITF or from Generations (since I installed both at once I have no way to tell). But behold the mighty awesomeness of - chocolate gnomes!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_06_ChocGnomes.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_06_ChocGnomes.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Chocolate. Gnomes! <img src="images/smilies/new/yahoo.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Yahoo" title="Yahoo" /><br />
<br />
After a nutritious meal of garden decorations, my sim went to sleep in one of those fancy beds that lets you programme your dreams. Or at least that's the idea. Actually she seemed to be suffering nightmares and kept calling out, despite looking relatively peaceful.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_07_WeirdDreams.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_07_WeirdDreams.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
I found it slightly unsettling!<br />
<br />
I saw an option to "read the manual" when clicking on the bed while she was asleep, but the option was gone when she was awake. Helpful!<br />
<br />
Naturally I was intrigued to see my descendants. The game kindly generated three for me. This is where they live.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_08_HouseOfTheFuture.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_08_HouseOfTheFuture.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
A rambling old house out in a remote part of the map. Really odd.<br />
<br />
The first descendent I met was pleasant but I'm not sure how they come up with her as she's nothing like my sim in terms of traits. Is it random, I wondered.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_09_DesA.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_09_DesA.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
The next descendent was a total bitch! Although at least they're getting closer in terms of the messy hair. Actually they've gone too far with the just-crawled-through-a-hedge look.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_10_DesB.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_10_DesB.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
They say third strike is lucky. In my case third descendent is more accurate. Yeah, she's excitable too. Queue much squealing and hugging!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/Future/ITF_11_DesC.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ITF_11_DesC.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Aw! <img src="images/smilies/new/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Biggrin" title="Biggrin" /><br />
<br />
After that bizarre trio of encounters I returned to beautiful Monte Vista (and my new pizza oven, although that was a short-lived pleasure as it was stolen by a burglar after making only one pizza). <br />
<br />
My sim keeps getting messages to say that something has changed in the future and I should go and check it out, but I am now heavily involved in trying to fill up a nectar rack so it'll have to wait. <br />
<br />
Got to set my priorities haven't I! <img src="images/smilies/new/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" />]]></description>

 Jordan Monroe was a quiet, shy boy from Riverview, from the craziest family  in town. He moved to Sunset Valley in hopes of finding fame and fortune a long lost family member promised way back when.<br />
<br />
 The story details Jordan's struggle to the top, his encounters with the good people, the bad people and the ugly people. It is written by a semi-professional writer who is also a Sims lover. Yes, a family will come when it comes. <br />
<br />
 I hope you guys can find time to read it and give me feedback! <br />

<span style="font-style: italic;">While I was driving, I’d sometimes look back. I was paranoid my family would drag me back. I was paranoid my home was drifting away in the distance, until it seemed like it was miles of miles away. Where could I go from here? What if no one liked my work ethic and I didn’t get a job? What if I couldn’t pay the bills? What if I had no friends? (not like I wasn’t used to being alone.) But when I found the note, buried under hundreds of books and papers, I had to move from Riverview to somewhere new and exciting, Sunset Valley. But the main reason for escaping was much more than trying to escape my crazy family (but that was one of the reasons, too). Enclosed in the note was my great (or great, great) grandfather’s writing. He promised riches in Sunset Valley- lots, and lots of riches. Money, and fame too. If you lived my sort of life, trust me, you’d jump to the chance. </span>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I downloaded the new EA world "Dragon Valley" plus the associated Renaissance Fair, plus a festival lot created for the world. Got it all set up and dumped in some sims to play with. I haven't actually played Sims 3 properly for ages due to being too busy a bee, and it's been a while since I uploaded any pictures from the game but fear not! - now you can feast your eyes on some SimsForums sims battling dragons, conversing with elves and generally prancing about in medieval garb. What a treat for you!<br />
<br />
We arrived in town (so pretty!) and realised that we looked out of place. Why is that? Oh yes, we are a bit too modern-looking. Ollie's green shoes are particularly bright and conspicuous!<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/SF%20Folk%20In%20My%20Sims%20Game/Dragon%20Valley/DV_01.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: DV_01.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Let's have a bit of medieval makeover shall we? I apologise if anyone hates their outfits. <img src="images/smilies/new/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" /> <br />
<br />
Ollie is a bit stuck with weird clothes until he ages up, as the items for teens are not particularly suitable for the medieval look. I've picked out some more muted colours for him though - and I do love that jumper-jacket thing with toggles so I was pleased to use it. Sommie got the dress I liked most on the basis that it looked way better on her, but I didn't mind mine after I'd changed it to a better colour. Minty gets a very suitable outfit straight out of Sims medieval (and if you think that's funny just wait till you see your formal wear!).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We look nice, right? <img src="images/smilies/new/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Biggrin" title="Biggrin" /> <br />
<br />
Everyone checked their tablets and smartphones for a while, which looked faintly ridiculous in DV, and I'm just waiting for the ice-cream van to show up and spoil the medieval ambiance.<br />
<br />
Next up - accommodation. I did some jiggerypokery with our finances until we could afford something better than a one-bedroom shack. I picked this place mostly because I liked the door. Note also that we have a wicker bin, because of course that would be extremely practical. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1048.photobucket.com/albums/s372/Caspin/SF%20Folk%20In%20My%20Sims%20Game/Dragon%20Valley/DV_03.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: DV_03.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<br />
That's as far as I got today and now I have to go and bake sweet potatoes for a curry, but I shall upload some more pictures next time I play. As usual it will take me a long time to redecorate the house. <br />
<br />
I rolled an interesting wish just as I was saving. "Grow forbidden fruit." What now?!  Well OK, we will try.<br />
<br />
We must of course locate some dragon eggs.  Also we must get down to the Fair and try out archery.  Then we can go around telling everyone we meet that we used to be adventurers but then we took an arrow to the knee.<br />
<br />
Dragon Valley looks really great and I love some of the features - the chalk drawings on the ground, the ruins and celtic symbols everywhere, the round theatre and other community lots all look ace. They have nice little details as well - fiery lanterns as street lamps for example. This could become one of my favourites.<br />
<br />
Squeeeee! <img src="images/smilies/new/sohappy.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Sohappy" title="Sohappy" />]]></description>

Minty gets a very suitable outfit straight out of Sims medieval (and if you think that's funny just wait till you see your formal wear!).<br />

<br />
<br />
We look nice, right? <img src="images/smilies/new/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Biggrin" title="Biggrin" /> <br />
<br />
Everyone checked their tablets and smartphones for a while, which looked faintly ridiculous in DV, and I'm just waiting for the ice-cream van to show up and spoil the medieval ambiance.<br />
<br />
Next up - accommodation. I did some jiggerypokery with our finances until we could afford something better than a one-bedroom shack. I picked this place mostly because I liked the door. Note also that we have a wicker bin, because of course that would be extremely practical. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
That's as far as I got today and now I have to go and bake sweet potatoes for a curry, but I shall upload some more pictures next time I play. As usual it will take me a long time to redecorate the house. <br />
<br />
I rolled an interesting wish just as I was saving. "Grow forbidden fruit." What now?!  Well OK, we will try.<br />
<br />
We must of course locate some dragon eggs.  Also we must get down to the Fair and try out archery.  Then we can go around telling everyone we meet that we used to be adventurers but then we took an arrow to the knee.<br />
<br />
Dragon Valley looks really great and I love some of the features - the chalk drawings on the ground, the ruins and celtic symbols everywhere, the round theatre and other community lots all look ace. They have nice little details as well - fiery lanterns as street lamps for example. This could become one of my favourites.<br />
<br />
Squeeeee! <img src="images/smilies/new/sohappy.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Sohappy" title="Sohappy" />]]></content:encoded>

What better way could there be to see what Sims 3 University Life has to offer than to take ten unwilling volunteers &amp; put them in the same hall of residence, Malan Hall?<br />
<br />
Free will maxed out, two terms, 64 credits required, everyone's on 12 credits to start with.<br />
<br />
Ten Simselves, eight beds, that's going to make it awkward for a start. <img src="images/smilies/new/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Biggrin" title="Biggrin" /> <br />
<br />
The big question every night - whose turn will it be to sleep on the couches? Will everyone who gets the Murphy survive the deadly bed? <img src="images/smilies/new/shocked.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Shocked" title="Shocked" /> <br />
<br />
Coming soon!<br />

I wrote this story, because I'm still thinking of that time and can't decide whether I was right or not. I often ask myself a question: "What if?" What if everything was different now? In my blog I called this story "Forget the name". Words are material, if you know what I mean.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Comments from the author</span>: This is a primitive love story that I want to share with you. Forgive my bad english. Actually I wrote this story in Russian and this story is my first experience in this sphere. </span><br />

<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">To be honest, I'm sick and tired of listening to all these stories about him! Why is he still in your mind? I can tell you... Throw away every thing that reminds you about him. Stop looking at your photos, when you were together.</span><br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">It's not all about photos</span>, - said Hailey.<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">You talk too much about him and you like it. Maybe you should start a blog?</span> - suggested Trinity.<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">But what does it change?</span><br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">You can talk about him all the time, people won't judge you. They can even give some piece of advice to calm you down</span>, - expanded Trinity, - <span style="font-style: italic;">write everything you want, describe your feelings. It could help</span>.<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Maybe you're right</span>.<br />

<br />
This was the first time I started a blog.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Hello, everybody. I'm Hailey. You're probably thinking that I'm crazy, but I truly belive that this blog will help me to gid rid of this f*ckin' thoughts. Honestly, I don't know which moment of my life would be the best to start my story. But when I think of it, I immediately think of that day".<br />
<br />

 <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">- I love you, Hailey...<br />
- I love you too, Rayan.</span><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i1.imageban.ru/out/2012/07/12/678e16a0199c62e99e6578e2aa142723.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: 678e16a0199c62e99e6578e2aa142723.jpg]" /><br />
 <br />
<br />
Rayan was my boyfriend, we were dating not so long, but actually we met each other more that a year ago. That time I was dating with another guy and Rayan strived to become my boyfriend. Of course I didn't like him and hid good looks. But then, something strange happened to me and I started thinking of him all the time. I loved him to distraction. But my happiness didn't last so long and we broke up. It was the horrible period in my life. I didn't download sad songs on my i-pod, I couldn't even listen to it. I didn't watch sad movies about love. And sometimes it was even hard to breathe. But now my sweetheart with me. I finally achieved this goal.<br />
<br />

 <br />
<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">No matter what happens, I will always be with you</span>, - he said to me. <br />
And he was right. I seemed to me that our relationships were pure and eternal. How typical! Something happened to him, I don't know what. We met once in a week, that's why I began to spend my time with friends. We were spoiling for a fight with each other. I still remember the day when I came to him...<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i3.imageban.ru/out/2012/07/12/ff9275534153da07c67e1550dc9dea33.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: ff9275534153da07c67e1550dc9dea33.jpg]" /><br />
 <br />
<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">We need to talk</span>, - he said patiently, - <span style="font-style: italic;">we should break up. Not exactly as always, but as adults.</span> <br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Why? What have I done?</span> - I cried.<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Everything you do, you do wrong! When I ask you to come home till 12, you're always late. You're not listening to me, you wanna go party every time, you love you friends to distraction. I don't want to be with you.</span><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i3.imageban.ru/out/2012/07/12/b82107e656de58c7dac53ccc4de3a19a.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: b82107e656de58c7dac53ccc4de3a19a.jpg]" /><br />
 <br />
<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Please, give me another chance. Everything will be different, I promise.</span><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i3.imageban.ru/out/2012/07/12/c715e0aebd68ec8085606c76a7a18920.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: c715e0aebd68ec8085606c76a7a18920.jpg]" /><br />
 <br />
<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">You'll never change. You are who you are. I made a decision. That's all.</span> <br />
It was humiliating for me to beg my boyfriend not to break up with me. Stupid! He should beg me not to leave, not me. And what is more important, I couldn't do anything, because HE made a decision. <br />
I started crying and maybe it moved him to pity.<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Okay. Go home. We'll talk tommorow</span>, - he said. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://i4.imageban.ru/out/2012/07/12/95e71b31cc203526d746ef9605741198.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: 95e71b31cc203526d746ef9605741198.jpg]" /><br />
 <br />
<br />
I left, full of promise and relief, but I couldn't sleep that night. I felt that something was wrong. And this feeling has never let me down.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i3.imageban.ru/out/2012/07/12/cd6bf078570983d3d7ff03b70423cd15.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: cd6bf078570983d3d7ff03b70423cd15.jpg]" /><br />
 <br />
<br />
The next morning I was waiting for his call. Silence.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i4.imageban.ru/out/2012/07/12/f14fbe5c0c666715b5108d7f7c7567ee.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: f14fbe5c0c666715b5108d7f7c7567ee.jpg]" /><br />
 <br />
<br />
It means I was right. That's why I decided to write him a msg. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hailey</span>: So what?<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rayan</span>: ?<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hailey</span>: You promised we'll talk.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rayan</span>: I said it you to calm down and stop crying. We won't be together. <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hailey</span>: Now I see your love, Rayan.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rayan</span>: I love u, Hailey. But I can't be with you. Bye.<br />
<br />
I didn't answer. I just was constantly watching his Facebook page. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">TO BE CONTINUED..</span><br />
<br />
I am very sorry I can't finish this chapter now, because I have some problems with my computer. But I'll finish it sooner or later.<br />

Of course I didn't like him and hid good looks. But then, something strange happened to me and I started thinking of him all the time. I loved him to distraction. But my happiness didn't last so long and we broke up. It was the horrible period in my life. I didn't download sad songs on my i-pod, I couldn't even listen to it. I didn't watch sad movies about love. And sometimes it was even hard to breathe. But now my sweetheart with me. I finally achieved this goal.<br />

 <br />
<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">No matter what happens, I will always be with you</span>, - he said to me. <br />
And he was right. I seemed to me that our relationships were pure and eternal. How typical! Something happened to him, I don't know what. We met once in a week, that's why I began to spend my time with friends. We were spoiling for a fight with each other. I still remember the day when I came to him...<br />

 <br />
<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">We need to talk</span>, - he said patiently, - <span style="font-style: italic;">we should break up. Not exactly as always, but as adults.</span> <br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Why? What have I done?</span> - I cried.<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Everything you do, you do wrong! When I ask you to come home till 12, you're always late. You're not listening to me, you wanna go party every time, you love you friends to distraction. I don't want to be with you.</span><br />
<br />

 <br />
<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Please, give me another chance. Everything will be different, I promise.</span><br />
<br />

 <br />
<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">You'll never change. You are who you are. I made a decision. That's all.</span> <br />
It was humiliating for me to beg my boyfriend not to break up with me. Stupid! He should beg me not to leave, not me. And what is more important, I couldn't do anything, because HE made a decision. <br />
I started crying and maybe it moved him to pity.<br />
- <span style="font-style: italic;">Okay. Go home. We'll talk tommorow</span>, - he said. <br />
<br />

 <br />
<br />
I left, full of promise and relief, but I couldn't sleep that night. I felt that something was wrong. And this feeling has never let me down.<br />
<br />

 <br />
<br />
The next morning I was waiting for his call. Silence.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i4.imageban.ru/out/2012/07/12/f14fbe5c0c666715b5108d7f7c7567ee.jpg" border="0" alt="[Image: f14fbe5c0c666715b5108d7f7c7567ee.jpg]" /><br />
 <br />
<br />
It means I was right. That's why I decided to write him a msg. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hailey</span>: So what?<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rayan</span>: ?<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hailey</span>: You promised we'll talk.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rayan</span>: I said it you to calm down and stop crying. We won't be together. <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hailey</span>: Now I see your love, Rayan.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rayan</span>: I love u, Hailey. But I can't be with you. Bye.<br />
<br />
I didn't answer. I just was constantly watching his Facebook page. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">TO BE CONTINUED..</span><br />
<br />
I am very sorry I can't finish this chapter now, because I have some problems with my computer. But I'll finish it sooner or later.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[It was the start of a fantastic life.<br />
I had a choice to choose the first Sim. I chose a teen.<br />
I wanted to make her look rebellish as possible as I am. I gave her dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, and nude lips. I then dressed her in a lace black top, black shorts, and converse. Her name was Nicki Utah.<br />
Then, the elder. I wanted him to make him look as handsome as possible. So I chose quite similar features of Nicki Utah. I do not remember his name.<br />
The toddler was next. I gave him ginger hair, black intense arched eyebrows and named him George Utah.<br />
So this was the start of the Utah family. It awaits some exciting memories...]]></description>
