Freya Is Normally Such A Shy Baby But She Took The Biggest Shining To Gracie - @simsdeogloria - That

Hylewood Round 1 - Atwood

Part Four

We left off with Sarah and William in a big fight that their daughter Jessica heard and was having bad dreams about her parents breaking up :(

But they made up and life went on in the lovely little Hylewood

Jessica was still worried about her parents and she rolled the want to be best friends with William. I think she's a little Daddy's girl and was worried about him, so they spent his day off talking and playing together. Meanwhile Charlotte was baking on her kids oven to keep her bake sale table stocked.

But Charlotte talked her mom into taking her to the library as she wanted to do some reading. (Probably to read the baker's report and get some new cookie recipes. Her muffins weren't selling too well)

Charlotte is my little bookworm so she rolled the want then to read 12 books! (I love the little kids section that @katyfernlily built!). While Charlotte read Sarah focused on making some new friends with the Baker Annie (who has since gotten a make over) and in the back is Annie's husband Tenya (the town doctor) reading as well. I hope he's reading up on delivering babies.

This is an awesome mod that I have play tested and it make so many new types of businesses possible! Gone are the Sims 3 days of savy seller rugs everywhere, instead we’ve been gifted a marvelous Sims 2 ofb inspired mod that makes business dreams come true! I’m seriously so excited to see what the community can do with this. I have so many ideas for new shops, and I’m sure so do many others. If you’ve ever wanted to run a ts3 business this is the mod for you! 

Yay, it’s finally here! Sim State Dude’s Open For Business for Sims 3 has arrived! I had the privilege of being part of a fun and great group of simmers who helped test this mod over at MissyHissy’s Discord and this mod is amazing, definetly a game changer! *Download and install Dude’s mod and enjoy!*

Sims State & Co mod notes:

Welcome to Sim State! A new mini expansion focused on adding ownable stores to the game in an open ended format. Create a store, hire employees, set objects for sale (without rugs!), restock objects, earn XP on sales to increase your rank and more! Check it out below! DISCLAIMER: The mod has been thoroughly tested by myself and other simmers but due to the nature of public release I cannot guarantee you won’t run into a new one! As a rule make backups to keep your saves safe, but you can shutdown a business by purchasing a computer and using the ‘Manage Business’ option on the lot, this should fix any Sim State specific issues for a buggy lot. Thanks! DONATIONS Completely optional but for anyone who enjoys the mod and would be interested in helping out financially you have my deepest appreciation! FEATURES -Ownable Stores Create and run stores across town, you can open a maximum of one business per lot, but there are no limits on the amount of stores you can run! Pay the $1000 set up fee and start today! -Hire & Manage Employees Use the scripted OFB register to manage your store and hire/fire employees! Call them into work and assign them roles, you can even switch households and work at a store run by another sim, create managers and complex economy systems around your town! Running an upmarket boutique? Customise your employee uniforms to match the style. -XP & Ranks Stores level up in rank similar to resorts. Using a custom UI system you can earn up to 5 stars which allow for more employees and higher prices! The ratio is 1:10 per Simolean earned! -Customer Satisfaction Points Inspired by a similar mechanic used in The Sims 2 your businesses earn points for each purchase. Use these points to purchase the $1000 cash reward or a security system! -Petty Theft Yup! Crime can be an issue for your stores, keep and eye out on sims eager for a freebie! If you see a notification popup and your stock diminishing you may be able to catch the thief quickly by clicking on them and using the 'Stop Thief’ interaction; this will call the police and have them arrested! Purchase the security system to automatically call them and halt any negative impact on your Customer Satisfaction Points! Keep an eye on those Kleptomaniacs and Evil sims… but anyone with the right motive could leave you missing a few items! -Mystery Shoppers Randomly sims that visit your store will have a chance of being a mystery shopper which will earn you a nice bonus of funds! Keep objects stocked up and prices fair to stand the best chance of high rewards. Can you get a perfect 100/100 score? -Frugal Sims… Not everyone will be happy with your inflated prices, keep some objects set to a low mark-up to ensure frugal sims don’t complain! -Power Surges Randomly during thunderstorms your sims have a chance of experience a power cut! Don’t worry though, the don’t last long… usually! -Custom UI’s & New In game Lessons A few visual improvements to the notification system give a fresh look to the game. You can also find 8 new lessons under the 'Sim State’ heading! Well after months of work and the great sims community I am pleased to finally release the mod! As mentioned above it may have a few outstanding bugs but hopefully nothing too serious, let me know how you find it in the comments! I would love to see what stores you run with Sim State so please post about the mod and your experiences on social media and YouTube! A few special thanks go out to Battery, GameFreak, Lyralei and Zoeee for all their help getting this project to release and helping me understand the Sims 3 API and learn C#! Finally I will be posting the source code and assets as open source in the near future, I am stepping back from active development myself but I know there’s a selection of active simmers interested in supporting the mod into the future. I would appreciate credit for the original idea and version but if you wish to take the mod/update it or release it in an updated form elsewhere I would be interested to see where it goes! Thank you to everyone who helped out and everyone who tries the mod, I really hope it adds something new and fun to The Sims 3 scene! I really believe that with the right motivation someone could create an entire new EP for TS3 it really is very moddable when you get stuck in! Enjoy! Regards, Sim State Dude (& Co)

This week I’ve been playing and doing some testing with the Keaton family in Sunset Valley. Decided to use my dk-sims cute wallpapers and some of the new dinosaur prints I made with Poster Loader for the nursery. 

Loved playing this family. Really did. Love the backstories of some of the EA townies. 

Appaloosa Plains Townie Make Overs

As part of my last post you ‘met’ Kelsey, so here’s a bit more about her and her husband Isaac, who both started as townies.

I was looking for a new family and fell in love with this sweet couple’s story in Appaloosa Plains. Decided to give them a makeover and play through some of their story.

Here was their original story: The Marshalls are madly in love, have a beautiful home, and successful careers. What could go wrong? A glossy exterior hides their secret pain - try as they might they’ve been unable to have a child. Crib, toy box, and highchair sit unused, and so the Marshall’s bide their time and mask their emotions by adopting all the pets they can handle. Puppies, kittens, foals - anything they can nurse and cherish, they welcome into their home. Will they one day be able to have the final addition that would make their family complete?

Kim and Felipe Marshall are now Kelsey and Isaac Mason!

Their new story: Meet the Masons! Hi there! We’re the Masons! Isaac and I met in college where I was a business major and he was a Criminal Justice major but we bonded over our love of animals. We dream of one day running a rescue ranch, taking in animals, training them, and then helping them find new homes to love them as their own. I (Kelsey) also have a huge love of all things baby so expect to see lots of pictures of foals, kittens and puppies here (and also possibly some guinea pigs, turtles, snakes or lizards)!

Currently I work as social media and graphic design manager with a local pet store and Isaac is on the police force living his dream. I’d love to be able to be able to eventually be a full time blogger for our ranch to be able to run our animal rescue as a business but for now I juggle both! We’re excited to have you along for the ride.

~ F A L L ~  “How many more boxes?” Holly asked sitting beside Gracie on the porch steps.

“Too many,” Gracie rolled her eyes and tried to hide the tired muscles she felt everywhere. “Holly, have I ever told you how much I hate moving?”

Holly giggled, “Hmmm only a million times when we first  moved into our old dorm room, and another half a million times over skype last time you moved.”

Gracie smiled, “Okay, okay. Easy now.”

“Luckily I’ve come to your rescue” Holly struck a pose and Gracie laughed, wrapping her arms around Holly’s shoulders.

“I knew it was smart befriending you. Supergirl, aka Holly Swann.”

Holly suddenly perked up “Hey! Gracie, we should take a break and go to that pumpkin patch! I mean this is a farming town, and where better for you to meet a cute farmer? Uh, I mean pick a cute pumpkin!”

Gracie smirked, unamused by Holly’s latest match making schemes. Holly widened her big eyes and pulled out her best puppy pout and before Gracie knew it, they were off to the pumpkin patch.

“So what are you going to make, Gracie Grace?” Holly asked, snacking on pizza while they drove home, complete with large pumpkins in the back seats.

“Probably a cat,” Gracie shrugged while driving.

“Crazy cat lady,” Holly whispered under her breath.

“Hey!” Gracie flicked Holly in the passenger seat, eliciting a whispered ouch. “I am not a crazy cat lady, thank you very much. I only have one. One cute little Willow so I’m not a total spinster.

"You’ll find him Gracie. You will”

“So will you,” Gracie said with a smirk.

Hours passed quickly with such good company, and soon enough the pumpkins were carved and lit, almost all the boxes had been moved, and Holly’s plane was nearing its departure hour. “I’ll miss you.” Gracie said.

“I’ll miss you too,” Holly replied, giving Gracie a hug.

“Thanks for the help, it meant a lot, and I like this getting together more than just once a year at the penthouses.”

Holly smiled, “Yeah, me too.”

With lots of well wishes Holly was off, and Gracie sat on the steps of her new house hoping it wouldn’t always feel as lonely as it did now.

Thanks for collabing with me @plumdrops Holly is such (!) a beautiful sim! Thank you to Frankie for the fun challenges @simblrsimplyforfun

Could I have the Rosie Skin please?

“Chloe! I’m so sorry work ran late! I’m sorry you had to wait out here!”

Chloe looked up beneath her long bangs. “Oh no worries, I always carry a book with me just in case” She winked.

Gracie set her school books down on the table, “I would expect nothing less of a librarian. Can I get you something to drink? My house is a bit of a mess as it’s under construction so I was actually thinking we could enjoy the porch?” Gracie shrugged apologetically.

“That be lovely,” Chloe replied.

The two girls fell into conversation about their lives and favorite authors. The sunshine and breeze a perfect backdrop for talking of dazzling hero’s and relatable heroines. When the conversation finally lulled Gracie went in to make iced coffees, hoping she could bribe Chloe to stay a little longer.

When she returned Chloe was deep in thought. “Hey, Chloe, you okay?”

Chloe brushed her hair behind an ear and straightened her shorts out. “Mmhm, sorry. Just lost in thought.”

Gracie leaned against the wall frame as she waited to see if Chloe would share more. “I’m sorry,” Chloe slowly started. “It’s just over this guy. He’s perfect but doesn’t realize I exist is all”

Gracie smirked, “Well for starters he’d have to be blind to miss that flaming red hair of yours so I’m pretty sure he knows you exist.” Chloe rolled her eyes. “Also your gorgeous, and to quote a country song ‘if it’s meant to be it’ll be, it’ll be, baby just let it be’”

Gracie’s off pitch singing elicited a laugh from Chloe. “I guess your right. We’ll just have to wait and see if he’s my Darcy,” the both giggled as Gracie sat down.

“Well keep me updated.”

———-

My fourth and final collab! Thanks so much to @my-special-sim for creating the amazing Chloe Harris! I just love her face so much! I had so much fun creating this little story between librarian and teacher for this collab. Hopefully Chloe will be back to visit Gracie again!
