Re: I Don't Play the Sims 3 (A Legacy) *Update: 09/29/16*
Livvie, thank you so much for your complements! They make me blush happily <3 Thanks for coming out of lurking for me!
My goal was to entertain people with my blundering around not knowing how to do things, so I guess I succeeded! I'm really glad you've enjoyed it so far.
The kids were a bit of a nightmare, but a fun challenge too. I can handle so many sims in the other games, but it's really different for each game. I definitely never planned to let her have 10 children, but I like to follow my sims' wishes, and I just couldn't help myself.
Picking the heir between the three-way tie was super tough. I know I favored Jillian, but I tried to make it fair for all of them. I'm glad you like my choice!

Re: I Don't Play the Sims 3 (A Legacy) *Update: 10/01/2016*
Oh! A lovely chapter!
First of all, the proprietor glitch is a common one. If you're not using mods yet, I highly recommend NRaas Overwatch and Errortrap. They save long gamefiles like the one you're playing in. They also clean up all the excess cars and things that might bog down your loading times (like having 5 proprietors for one lot...).
Anyways, I love Hunter and the girls! I was rooting for Jillian and glad she found someone special too! Overall, I just love this story. You seem to be getting the hang of the Sims 3.
Sorry I can't offer more advice, I'm usually good at trouble shooting, but it's 2am and my brain is just fried tonight.

I've generally been adverse to mods for TS3/4 (I don't know why, I used them extensively in 2), but I may have to look into those. I've seen them suggested before when I've looked up problems! My plan was to move to a new town when things got too glitchy.
I thought I was getting the hang of things too until I realized how close to elderhood Liang is. He's MUCH older than Jill - I keep forgetting that can happen :3
Thanks for your comments, Livvie! And good luck with the Reapers - someday I'll have to dig in and get into that! It's a big change from the observational stuff I do!

I play with an insane amount of mods in, a lot of my gameplay mods are NRaas (like Overwatch and Errortrap). They fix SO much of the game that whenever I play without them I notice it immediately. They're almost a little too good at their jobs, sometimes.lumasong wrote:I've generally been adverse to mods for TS3/4 (I don't know why, I used them extensively in 2), but I may have to look into those.

Mostly they're just good at taking care of a lot of issues like Stuck Sims, bloated inventories and game glitchiness.
Also, I've got this nifty feature with Woohooer (also by NRaas) I have this new interaction where I can ask a Sim how old they are in comparison to your Sim. It's super useful!
Though I totally get not wanting to use mods... I remember those days (Stares shamefully at her own 800+ package files). The loading times were shorter then...
Thank you so much! Ah, my lovely Reapers. Working on an update for them. They're kind of my babies.
For what it's worth, my very Original Reapers I did was very observational from the start, then I tripped and fell on that guy
(my profile picture) and he changed everything.
The crazy bugger. For what it's worth, I love reading the little bits of personality you're finding in your Sims! I love reading about what mayhem they get into... and it's fun to hear about how other people like playing!

Omg. I love this. I'm still on Chapter 1 because I can't see through the tears of laughter to read right now. I played Sims 3 a lot longer than I have 2, so it is really nice reading yours and reminiscing about when I first started playing.

This makes me remember all the things sims 3 had that sims 4 doesn't have yet, and needs severely. Also, those eyes!!! lol

I'm glad you're enjoying, Jenn!
Wynter, that's pretty much why I ditched 4 for 3. Tired of missing content.
I'd have gone for 2 but I don't have it anymore ;_; But learning to play a new one turned out to be fun anyway!

I read the update earlier but didn't get to respond until now!
I love how you're giving everyone some face-time, but I agree with you on your assessment of Lillian and Adrian.
I do love them, but they're... unique!
Also I love how you tossed in that very convenient picture of an airplane... I'm a sucker for romance so I'm always writing out my Sim's romances... but that airplane though!
"Person person minus."
I was dying.

I'm late to the responses! But I'm here now!
First of all, HI LUMA!!
I saw the mention and it made my day! I swear I can't play without NRaas.
I love your commentary and I died laughing at your "romance" comment (perhaps because I write so much of it myself that seeing it written like that was too funny). Jillian is awesome and I love Arrian too!

Added chapter 3.5.3 Homewrecker
This is also the first time I've posted a chapter without having the next one pre-written. Scary.
