As A Surprise For Nellie, Frank Invited Her Closest Friends Over For The Weekend To Throw Her A Bridal

~  S U M M E R ~ “Hey guys, just wanted to share some progress on my house reno. The floor plan of the down stairs has completely changed to make it more open concept, removing walls that separates the kitchen from the living space and putting up walls to create a new guest bedroom, half bath, and laundry room. Kitchen is still a wip but please enjoy my summer living room. I’m currently loving these white and blue wildflower pillows!”

The lovely Andram @andramsimming and Jamie @simmingaroundtheworld have created something AMAZING! This is being used in Hylewood ASAP. Thank you lovelies!

“Look Mom! I told you I was making friends” Roxie and I met up for a girls night out. The goal was to find twinkle lights, live music and great dessert. We were so thrilled to find all three, plus get front seats right next to this pretty water fountain! I had such a great time and would love to hang out again! I’d say this girls night out was a success.

Thanks to Frankie @simplyimaginarypeople for this fun challenge and to @velvetpxl for sending me her lovely Roxie Winters!

Syboulette Helios Walls Collab with MainlyJustTheSims

Hello friends, a little cc update. I am working on another big children’s set but it’s been slow going since I’m working full time instead of part time these days. But it’s over halfway done and I’m going to try to stay on the motivation train and get to the finish line for you all.

In the meantime I have a few other wips that have been complete and in my personal gameplay for a while that I going to try to share. So the next few sets might be small but there’s a big one coming at the end 💕

So sad because Gshade worked 100% better than reshade ever did for me.

After seeing the rest of the story I get it now (no it’s not malware that infects your computer and steals your credit card, but rather deletes outside add ons and force restarts your computer if those are found. And that forced restart is what’s considered malicious).

Im disappointed in how the gshade dev handled the situation and personally am going to give reshade another try. I don’t like the idea of anyone having the power to add potentially damaging code to a program I use for my side hobby.

Heads up hoes; the GShade dev has gone off the fucking rails and turned the damn program into malware. If you're using it for The Sims, FFXIV, Guild Wars 2, etc, it's a good time to uninstall it, after this recent update.

If the program detects it has been modified in any sort of way, it reboots your PC.

In Gracie’s lovestory I had planned that she had broken off an engagement in the past and had trust issues from it. But onto new households now so poor Gracie is in limbo. Maybe she’ll get her happy ending one day

“Wow Nellie, I’m so happy for you and Frank. Congratulations.”

Nellie smiled and blushed a bit, “Thanks Gracie. You know you’re coming to my bridal shower right?”

“I wouldn’t miss it. Plus I want to steal some of that lavender you’ve been growing and see if it will grow as pretty in my garden as in yours.”

“Please do,” she took another bite of her cake. “This stuff is good”

“Not as good as yours I’m sure” Gracie smiled and looked outside, distracted by a small finch.

“So, any guys in your life?” Nellie asked gently.

Gracie shook her head no and tried to hide the hurt in her eyes. “Nope” she said bravely. “Not since…”

Nellie reached out and put her hand on Gracie’s arm, “It’s okay. You’ll find the right one soon enough”

Gracie tried to smile as she finished her coffee. “What do you say we take some pictures before leaving? This place is too cute not to, don’t you think?”

Thanks to @minasims for agreeing to collab with me! She’s amazing, her style is beyond gorgeous and her sims are beautiful. Also she’s super sweet!

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!*

Watch the launch trailer video on his Youtube channel here!

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)

An old simblrsimplyforfun challenge but I love how these simmies turned out. I might need to add them in as townies for my current save. Also love love love this house by @kinsethdesign / @miss-sassy-simmer

Simblr Simply for Fun Mini Challenge 4

Loved this mini challenge from Frankie! Both these sims started so beautifully it was hard to change them!

Meet Ezekiel and Kira. I loved the freckles on Zephyr so I didn’t want to change his skin, but I did do some tweaking to his nose and mouth as well as new hair and clothes. In Winchester now he’s a firefighter who wants to promote and start a family with his fiancé Kira.

For Lina, I mostly just changed her eye shape and brow shape, but I love how the bangs soften up her face. In my mind she loves children, and she works at the Winchester Library, and she loves to get to know the kids and recommend books for them, as well as her weekly story time is legendary among the little tikes.

Thank you @gruesim for this fun challenge, and also thank you to @miss-sassy-simmer for the house I photographed them in. Could I have the Oz skin please?

If  you’d like to add them to your game (and I’d love to see them!) here are their links.

~ F A L L ~  Last Pumpkin Spice Latte of the Season. Not ready for winter yet! Trying to finish a remodel on my second bedroom, soon to be office before the snow hits. I’ve decided I’m not much of a painter, but I’m trying my hand at novels. Let’s see how this goes… Also gotta love Willow my photobombing cat! I can’t ever take a photo without her coming up to see what’s going on! Haha, gotta love this sweet fluffy feline.
