It’s been a while since my last generation’s scrapbook post. I’ve taken a few breaks over the last couple months with playing. But I’ve been back and wrapping up generation 4.

Late Night is one of my favorite packs so this was such a fun one to play. I really committed to the whole party boy thing for a while. Slept all day, partied all night. Did the bands, which I’ve never messed with before. Played a bit of a Vampire Sim. All in all, this was a really really fun generation. 💜

Next up is Generations!💛 I’m excited for this one too. And I’m loving my heir. Please enjoy these pictures and I’ll see you at the next end!🥰

Autumn has arrived & I'm curious to know what your favorite thing to do during the fall season in Sims 3 is 🥰🍂

Heres what I've done so far! The house is still unfinished, so theres a lack of clutter. I think this is one of my favourite things to do. I love adding the tiniest details, like the contents of their bedside tables changing according to season: there might be a candle during winter or a pair of sunglasses in the summer. (Also someone teach me how to take higher quality pics of my game)

I made this couple a few days ago and wanted some wedding photos to hang around their house! Obsessed w how they came out <3

I used to make a Sim take pictures of my active family doing anything and everything on their phones, lol. I’d place the pictures in Graham's Digital Picture Frame so I could see their evolution throughout the playthrough. Although I loved that feature, it always ended up corrupting my game because every picture taken made my save file larger.

So, I finally got the courage to learn how to make my own CC paintings using screenshots I took from the game. This was my first try, and these are the results!

(Disclaimer: The frame meshes aren't mine; I just swapped the textures with my own screenshots.)

If you‘ve seen this post before… no, you haven‘t 🤫

Randomly decided yesterday to edit a historically inspired yearbook together for Gen 6 of my Vampire Legacy Challenge 🧛🏻‍♂️
It turned into a mini Decades Challenge along the way, hence the historical influence. Swipe to see my heir at the end!

I also added some of Clare Siobhan‘s vampires, because I miss her videos 🥹

What do you think? I think it turned out okay 👀

Edit: If you want to see their actual portraits a little better (just realized how small they are!), you can see them here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sims4cc/s/PjBxOqoPne

We loved playing The Sims 2 together growing up so I thought this was fitting. Had to add my favorite picture of him as a kid lol

I have a pyromaniac mermaid, so I got curious and did a bit of research. I was pretty surprised by how many ways there are to start a fire in the game. This isn't every mechanic, just the common ones and the ones I found interesting.

For future updates and all my other cheatsheets, everything's in the pinned post on my profile.

I believe the people who complain about and criticize this game are just too lazy to install performance mods and look for cute CC. I play with a lot of CC, and after installing performance mods (like S3SS, Smooth Patch, etc.), the game runs really well, even though I push it to the limit with hyper-realistic houses and Sims, plus an HQ mod. Thanks to modders, the game runs better than it did in 2014. it has never performed like this for me, it runs better than ever, yet people still keep whining about the game being unplayable, even though it’s more playable than ever.

The ground floor is an abandoned utilities building and the bunker is three levels of basement underneath. It has everything to be fully functional as an off the grid and simple living lot!

Not all rooms are in these pictures.

Can you blame me though? Look at her. 😍 She's an absolute mess though. Cheated on her hubby with another married man and got kicked out of the family home. But after an enlightening Tarot reading she's on a better path. 🤞🏾

(Sim is Juniper Grove from Chestnut Ridge.)

It’s called San Oddity, and somehow this strange little world I created years ago has passed 2,000 downloads.

Your lovely comments pulled me back in. I’ve made an interactive map and refreshed some household stories to help new players choose whose life to ruin first.

I made the town. I cannot defend its residents.

These honeymoon screenshots are over 14 years old but I still remember how much fun I had taking them as if it were yesterday. I was so excited for my gen 4 legacy heir to explore Sunlit Tides with her hubby. I left off playing with gen 5 long ago and hope I'll find time to continue the family's story one day. 🙏🏾

I've already collected their lore in Notion but looking back on these screenshots makes me want to create a digital scrapbook of all their photos as well. I've already done something like this for one of my current legacies in Canva (see last photos).

It's so much fun to embellish the pages with clipart and add context but also amazing to then be able to literally flip through the memories. It reminds me of how much I enjoy this family and inspires me to keep playing. 💛

Want a digital scrapbook to organize (and flip through 🥰) your Sims' memories too? All you need is my free Keepsake Journal and a free Canva account. 😊

What are your favorite ways of keeping your old screenshots from being forgotten in folders? 😊

I have a singular household that I’ve been playing for over a over year now and my favourite sim is obviously my violinist/actress/supermodel sim - Amelia Salvetore Swann

Here she is in her newest deal, brand ambassador/face of my actually real life favourite perfume. I use it literally every day!😆

This is my favourite aspect of the game. This and taking photos of their family interactions. Maybe soon I’ll make a “meet the Salvetore-Swanns” haha.

It’s so nice to be back in the swing of things. I’ve missed her more than I can express💗
