Around my Sims | Chronicles of Sim-June in Sandy Valley - #2

A prom with birthdays (it’s always at the prom I age my teens to young adults), and a party on the beach, that’s how my Sims have ended their sim-june!

Random pictures of the Primary School Party

It included a magician show, some apple bobbing contests with toys to win, kid shows proudly filmed by the parents, an afternoon snack… That was fun! :)

Around my Sims | Chronicles of Sim-June in Sandy Valley - #1

So, I’ve played like crazy. *big grin* That’s what doctors recommanded anyway! ;)

I’ve uploaded another non-story* to Around my Sims, where you’ll find everything and more about the Mother’s day, about how Mei-Mei had to earn some painting points she was missing to complete her second year Art degree, about the applications for Sandy Valley university (that will re-open in sim-october after the summer holidays), about a laaaaame horse race, or about the primary school party… That’s here! :p

I’m not even done yet with playing, as I plan to play the prom this week-end, as well as the finals of the students. *dance*

Next week, I’m back to meshing! I have that Eco-Café that is waiting for me! ;)

* non-story: short captions in frenglish of my Sims’ casual, even eventually boring, lives. Nothing to do with an elaborated story. ;)

Mother’s day with Bernadette and Timothée

lauraraeamos said: Awesome! How do you get so many sims to stand still all at once? lol!

I save my game before messing up anything with the picture. Then, I teleport all the kids with the game paused. I unpause the game. Once everyone is there, I place them with “moveobjects on”, and that’s all. I don’t use poses because I kinda like the mess pictures can be. I unpause the game, grab the ones who try to run away in Build mode, and take another picture, untill I have approximatively everyone watching the camera, but all the fun is in the “approximatively”! :D

I do that for the other classroom, and I exit the game without saving, so next time I’ll load my game, kids will be nicely where they’re supposed to be, and they won’t be disturbed by having been “moveobjectified”. :)

Also… I don’t have the patience to use poses, but the result would probably be better with!

A Sim of mine: Chloé Degnome

3. baby-sitting Keith at Christmas
4. dancing with Paige at the Dance Festival
5. autumn rain

Not too fed up yet of my promised spam? ;)

Let me introduce you Chloé, who is another of my very favorite Sims ever. She lives with her older sister, Mélanie, as they have lost their parents young. Chloé has always seen herself as unlucky, and she used to be a loner, who only found joy in books. But it was before the Lanoix family and their daughter Margaud moved in town. Margaud is a solar girl, brightening everything she touches, and at her contact, Chloé changed her “loner” trait to “friendly”. She soon felt more than a friendship for Margaud, but she never said a word about, by fear of losing her best friend, who was clearly attracted by guys anyway.

Happily, she met Paige (created by Laure) two years ago, and these two girls have been living the cutest romance since then. Margaud and Chloé are still the very best friends.

Now, why do I bother you with Chloé’s story today? Well, because she has just spent a whole sim-month in Honeycomb Valley (in Kim’s game), as we have set some students exchange between our Sim-towns. :)

Enough from me! ;)

I’m the worst Sims photographer ever….

There were THREE Sims in this room to take in picture, and I managed to hide completely one… Seriously… *rolleyes* It’s not tips or lessons I need at this level, it’s a new brain. :p

Ugly, ugly, ugly…

First (and last) attempt to play with the wishing well…

Sophie L’étoile (made by my usual Sims dealer, Alex! ;)) paid a visit in Sandy Valley to participate to a horse race. While she was in town, she took the opportunity to ask for love at the fountain, near the pizzeria… And she ended up with a default-face elder… Somehow, I wonder if I didn’t like the frog better… (but yes, the Place de Trévise is also a bit creepy at night… :D)

The Wine Bar - Canal District

I like having old fashioned lots in my town, imagining someday one of my Sims will renovate them and turn them into the hypest places of the city. :)

Of course, it won’t happen before years. Maybe real years. See why I can’t quit Sims 3? ;)

I haven’t advertised much the fact I have a SECOND Tumblr! Yeah! As if I could already use one… *chuckle*

Well, as I’m always unsure about what to reblog or what not, I’ve decided to create a Tumblr just for reblogs and posts I liked too much to lose track of them. The idea, I confess, is a bit stolen from the lovely Lemonjelly who has her own blog and a blog of finds, which is just excellent, isn’t it?

Anyway, this second Tumblr is aroundthesimslikes (you can recognize in that name all my creativity! ;)), and there’s only great stuff there, and  none I made. :p)
