The nicest thing...

This post is to give a shout out to a very generous simmer that did one of the nicest things I have seen on The Sims 3 community forums!

Jake aka X_MG_X that was an amazing thing to do!! He just gifted several people Lunar Lakes just because he wanted them to enjoy it as much as he does...

that is a pretty wonderful thing to do and it really shows what a...

... you have!

Just witnessing this made my day!!

Now I have that warm fuzzy feeling get when something really awesome happens because someone did something special!

Well hello world!

Yes, I know I've been MIA for a little while... I had some things to deal with in real life that kept me away from my computer and my simmies but it's all back to normal now and I can get back in the groove of things... Hope you've all been wonderful!

Another thing that has kept me away is that I discovered Swagbucks! It's awesome!! Basically it's a market research site that allows you to earn points (or swagbucks) you can use towards prizes, including cold hard cash! There are so many ways to earn points and I'm completely addicted!! I decided to give it a try because they carry EA game cards sop I thought maybe I would earn a few free simpoints but it's way better then that! In 2 weeks I earned enough to get Showtime for free!! Yes FREE!! I know what you're all thinking and I was super skeptical myself because I have tried any f these type of things just to end up frustrated and annoyed so I quit every single one of them but this is really different and it works,! Ok now I sound like a sales person lol but I really am excited about it so I wanted to share. It's up to you if you want to try or not and if you do I am willinmg to help all I can, just let me know! Here's the link and info if you're curious...

Hope to see you there!

Paco1200 Does it again!!

I wish I had the talent, this one is sooo fun and colorful!! Great job Paco!

Seriously, it's not her...

This makes me laugh so much! I can't believe people actually think they are talking to Kay Perry! I mean I can understand how the youngest simmers might believe it's her but most know that it's just a gimmick... Just shows that this ad campaign and Showtime gimmick is working for some anyway...

Not to be a party pooper or spoil anyone's fun but it's just so obviously a commercial gimmick! Like Katy Perry would even have the time to play much less chat on the forums... Just cracks me up!

The day the daydream dies...

RIP Davy Jones... Most of you are probably to young to remember but I'm sure you are familiar with at least the one song from the Shrek movies... The Monkeys were the epitome of Pop Culture and their influence in music as well as television still shows today... For those of us that do remember February 29, 2012, will be remembered as the day the daydream died.....

(Just for the record I'm not old enough to actually remember The Monkeys as they were on the air but I loved them in re- runs and their music, they were a big part of my childhood...)

My thoughts on the new Sim pages...

I think I am in the minority but I rather like it, sure it needs some work but it's kinda fun having a new way to communicate instantly... I also like that new uploads are seen by everyone, that is kind of the point to the exchange after all. Most of us have friends on our list we never talk to and don't even get why we had a friend system in the first place so this gives us all a chance to get to know each other a little better which in turn let's us know who we want to keep and actually talk to, if you're a social person like me then this is a big bonus! Now if you're a paranoid ani- socialist then this could be very disturbing and why are you playing a social game in the first place? Those of you that are should probably not visit the site anyway lol... You know, just like any other PUBLIC site if you don't want people to see what you have to say then don't post it in PUBLIC to begin with!!

What I don't like is that we can no longer customize our page and there is some security risks that need to be addressed... I also feel like it makes the forums rather pointless now since everything can be discussed right from our pages, and this showed almost immediately after the update, within minutes the forums went quiet except for the complaint threads of course, those will always be on the first page of the forums... I'm sure EA is not done yet though and I do expect some more changes in the near future...

 I find it funny that the first thing so many simmers did was complain about the new commenting system using the new commenting system, irony at it's best! Posts like "I refuse to use this system!" look stupid when posted using the system lol... In the end I feel most people will get used to the whole thing and end up not only using it but enjoying it, I'm seeing evidence of this already, won't take long until most give in and go with it just like most changes... People are naturally resistant to change so it makes perfect since that there's so much negativity now, I give it 2 weeks tops and either people give in or leave and either way is fine, it is your personal choice after all....

Luna Skye...

I've decided I do like fantasy sims... No, not so much berry sims (in my mind anyway) but fantasy, like witches, vamps, winged sims and now aliens lol...

Here is my version of an alien princess... She seems a bit camera shy so it was hard to get a really good pic of her... Her traits are, brave, eco- friendly, eccentric, artistic and perceptive...  Favorite color is aqua, food is I don't remember lol and she likes classical music... She's a peaceful alien but she will do what's necessary for her people...

All CC checked and appears safe but you know how it is ( I keep my game very clean so I know she is perfectly safe)... You can download her HERE , please give a rec even if you don't want her... Thanks!
