I played Sims 3 last night for the first time in a long time. I’m not entirely attached to it because I get frustrated by not being able to do all the things I’ve become so used to doing in Sims 2. Also I just find it harder to keep track of everyone’s lives since they keep doing things when I’m not looking.
But I did save a few pictures from the game. Mostly things that have amused me, but also a peek into the lives of the Sims I’m playing with.
Ha, this kid’s name made me laugh. Seems Sims 3 wants to keep reminding me of my Sims 2 hood!
I just really liked the repairwoman’s name.
So the Sim I created Hailey ended up falling in love with and marrying Leighton Sekemoto.
“Now don’t freak out but…I’m pregnant. In case you hadn’t noticed.”
Leighton already had a son, Sam, from his first marriage, so Hailey became an instant mom.
Mohawked kid is thinking, “Oooh. Boobs.”
Yes, I can see why you would be excited to tell everyone about that.
Once the Sekemotos had grown up a bit (Hailey had a daughter named Abigail, who is, um, kind of ugly) I decided to take a break from them and play Mortimer Goth for a while. I love him because he gives me such great shots like this! Also I just now realized that this shot is kind of foreshadowing. The teen with the long hair standing nearby is January Hirsch, more about her in a bit.
He totally poses for me, though he tries to pretend he doesn’t like the camera.
Standing outside Goth Manor. We moved all the graves to the cemetery and planted a garden in their spot instead.
I didn’t want Mortimer to be stuck marrying Bella and reliving the life everyone knows, so he fell in love with January Hirsch.
They were married on the beach.
Don’t feel bad for Bella, she found someone else. They’re currently engaged.
This made me LOL! I can understand Bubba as a nickname, but giving the kid that for his legal name is just cruel.
Yes, labor is so much fun!!! January is having a blast, can’t you tell?
Also, January fulfilled her lifetime wish when she married Mortimer. She wanted to live in the lap of luxury. Can we say ‘gold digger’? 
But she had a girl and both she and Mortimer wanted a boy to carry on the Goth name. So poor little June Goth is already a disappointment. And she has to sleep in the creepy attic. Because apparently that’s where the crib was?
The amazing view of the city from the top of Goth Manor. I may get frustrated by the limitations in this game, but the scenery is beautiful!
This makes me miss the beach so much! Bah, me and needing to play Riverview with my blog. I miss the beach. xb The hood is so much nicer, too, sigh.
I was going to catch up with Pine Hollow when I saw this and had to come and check it out.
I’m downloading World Adventures right now–5 freaking gigs. That is HUGE for an expansion.
These are some great shots. I try to convince myself that I want the Sims 3 but its a lie. The graphics are amazing though
Agreed, the scenery is beautiful. That view from the manor is breathtaking!
With all of TS3′s problems (and for me there are many), it is definitely a beautiful game. They did an amazing job with the scenery.
Your game sure is throwing some great names at you! I have Tuesday Sears in my game too but Bubba is a new one, as is January!
