SET SHOWCASE: Through the Spy Glass Bedroom

An Alice in Wonderland themed set. Some very unique items with amazing designs are included with this set. I usually don't enjoy the fairytale theme but I really enjoyed this set because of the weird looking objects and designs. The set is very limited though and only includes these few items:

Roaring for a New World : Information and Thoughts on Upcoming World, Roaring Heights.

Roaring Heights, a forthcoming Sims 3 world, has officially been announced by EA following hints from Simgurus Copeland and Sparkle. The world was generally met with much excitement from the simming community as we have been begging and pleading for another city world.

Introducing the beautiful Roaring Heights, an early 20th Century style Sims 3 world:

Sims 3 Store Set Review: Mother Russia

The phrase "Mother Russia" became popular after the 2nd World War as an effort to restore Russia's pride, unity and patriotism. It was implemented to create positive feelings. Does this store set also create positive feelings? Is it worth it to spend 1600 (sale price) simpoints on a few roof decor and Create-A-Sim (CAS) items ? This review will answer these questions. 

Store Set Showcase: Ultra Lounge

I decided to acquire the Ultra Lounge sets because when something looks like this all you can do is want it with your whole simming heart:

. As usual with these set showcases I give an overview of the set, rate the set and show you how I used it in game. Hope you enjoy this post as much as I enjoyed using the Ultra Lounge set...

Into the Future in Pictures: Part 4 - The Utopian Future

This next part finds our characters (Rocky, Ali and the plumbots) in the Utopian Future. Personally I didn't like the idea of this happy, sunny place where everything looks too bright. As I played more I actually realised how beautiful it is.

The Sims 2 or The Sims 3? Which is better?

Hi everyone,

Today I set out on a mission determined to play The Sims 2 after not playing the game since the release of The Sims 3. I only set out to play it for a few hours but it ended up being the entire day. I had to get used to the camera controls and also get used to not pressing game speed 4 but I was hooked. After playing I asked myself the question. Was Sims 2 a better game in its time than Sims 3?

Into the Future In Pictures: Part 3 - PLUMBOTS!

Time for more screens of ITF. This time focusing on the plumbots I created so far. Enjoy!

1. ALPHA

The first, very basic, plumbot that my botbuilder sim ,Ali, created. He's not good quality and currently has the traits Friendly Functions, Limitless Learning, Sense of Humor and A.I. Angler. Alpha is part of the family and I adore him like a mother adores her first born.

2. BETA

As you can see Beta went through many transformations. I LOVE how she looks now. Sexy in a plumbot sort of way. She has the traits Handibot, Robonanny, Steel Chef , Competent Cleaner and Robotony Gardener. Very useful and I will never get rid of her. Due to constant maintenance she is now Awesome quality.

7 Set Showcase

Hi Everyone,

Here are just some screens of random sets I own and how I used them in game.

1.Aces High
RATING 4/5

I used this set in my lucky palms house because it fits with the theme. I loved this set. It came with so much and had a great theme that looked good anywhere. My favourite feature: The Let 'em fly Lamp. It is so classy and I use it literally everywhere.


2.Muse Luxury
RATING: 4/5

Another excellent set. Beautiful Greek theme. Few items included but they are all quality. Favourite Feature: The seating. Just look at it. It's pure art.

Mini Review of Grandpa's Grove

Hey Simmers,

Another store venue in the farming theme. Some will sigh and some will jump for joy. I give a mini review of the store venue highlighting the good and bad points. Enjoy!


THE GOOD:

• It is a stunning venue. Well designed and easy to just move your sims into. I love how it looks. I have many gardener sims so it is great to have a lot with the space to garden to your heart's content.

Cooking with Paco: Breakfast Edition

Hi Simmers,

The food on the Sims 3 looks absolutely divine at times especially when you're hungry. Its a pity we don't have food synthesizers. This series "Cooking with Paco" is designed to help you make your favourite Sims 3 dishes. I promise that the links to the recipies I post here will be easy enough for a beginner chef to make (so that means no Lobster Thermidor unfortunately). I am a huge food fan and always wanted to make the food from the sims. The recipes here I take no credit for. I only find them and post links.I am not held liable for any cooking accidents that might occur.  Hope you enjoy! Over to Paco.

Hi Everybody. I am 5 star chef, Paco. I live in Lucky Palms and have a real passion for women and food. I am a hopeless romantic, flirty, great cook, hot headed and irresistible. I work at the Blooming Cactus Bistro and own the Business as Usual Bistro.

Today I will be starting with the first meal of the day, breakfast. Nobody really wants to spend time on breakfast so these recipes are relatively quick to prepare.

Into the Future in Pictures Part 2: DYSTOPIA

Hey Simmers,

My sim, Rocky, has activated the dystopian future. Its crazy so far and the constant falling meteors and random apocalyptic sounds take some getting used to. Here are some pics of DYSTOPIA.

 To activate dystopia your sim needs to talk to the time traveller and he will give you missions to complete. For example, using a meteor magnet to attract meteors. This is also a cool way of attracting precious metals.

 Rocky obviously excited for the Dystopian future in his evil way.

Into the Future: In pictures, Part 1.

Hey Simmers.

Here are some screens of some ITF experiences so far. Enjoy!

 When it looked as if the University Llama came out of the time portal. It was an awkward moment.

 Rocky chatting to Emit  after going to the future.

 Ali with her "bot mode" engaged. She has the "bot fan" trait. This is my favorite feature of the game.
