Finally… An Update!

February 11th, 2009 by Rian | Comments Off | Filed in Expansion Packs, Website Info

Hey you all… sorry that I haven’t been around for a while. I’m back now and have changed the layout. I’ve got a lot of Sims stories to update!

I installed Gardens & Mansions on my laptop, but it really slowed down gameplay and caused some bugs. The same thing happened with Apartments. So I decided not to install these two expansions on my brand new smokin’ fast computer. I have everything installed except G & M, Apartments and Bon Voyage.

Keep an eye out for some upcoming stories and pictures! And check out my Sims 3 blog… I just launched it and will be updating it soon.

Pleasantview Soap Opera - Part Three

February 4th, 2008 by Rian | 1 Comment | Filed in Pleasantview, Sim Stories

I mentioned in a previous post that Pleasantview was devastated after a major tornado. Well, happily enough, the town was rebuilt and the citizens have all recovered from the shock!

So the Pleasantview soap opera is continuing…

We’ll start with the lecherous Don Lothario!

After Cassandra told him that she thought she was pregnant with his child, Don nearly went into shock. He decided the right thing to do would be to marry her. So… he did. After all, out of all of his women, Cassandra came from good money and good breeding.

Little did he know that Cassandra would be inviting TWO of his other lovers to their wedding party - the Caliente sisters!

Naturally, both sisters were furious and jealous and slapped Don good and proper right after the ceremony.

However, Don is known for his philandering yet irresistible ways. While his new wife Cassandra was making the rounds with the other guests, Don was hard at work trying to make up with the Caliente sisters. Before the wedding party was even over, he managed to make up with - and make OUT with - both sisters, unknown to everyone else!

Poor Cassandra! She has no idea what she is in for with Don.

While Cassandra slept in late the next morning, exhausted from the wedding party and planning, Don was at it again. This time, he invited Kathlyn over for a quick woohoo in the convenient photo booth outside of the house.

A couple of days after the wedding, Cassandra realized that she is NOT pregnant with Don’s baby after all. She had just eaten some bad food prepared by Mortimer.

Uh oh. Don is going to be pretty darn mad when he finds out…


Find out what happens next with the philandering Don and newly worried Cassandra in the next episode of the Pleasantview Soap Opera! Mortimer, the Oldies, and the Caliente sisters will all have their stories updated. (Check back this week).

The Silica Marshall Story, Part One

February 4th, 2008 by Rian | Comments Off | Filed in Silica Marshall, Sim Stories

Meet Silica Marshall!

snapshot_74ae75d0_94af8657.jpg

Her story begins in college - Sim State University. Silica has a popularity aspiration and her lifetime goal is to become Mayor of Pleasantview.

Silica started off a little slow in Uni. She was forced to live in one of the dorms while she saved her money for her own place. She had to make do with horrible meals of macaroni and cheese and spaghetti. However, once she got to the middle of her sophmore year, she had finally saved enough to get her own place. A 50,000 simolean inheritance from a deceased uncle helped, and she moved into a decent house of her own.

Once she got established in her house, she made a lot of friends. She threw lots of parties, always had people over at her house and she cooked for them.

She also frequented the campus coffee shop and could often be found buying one of her friends coffee.

But her sophmore and junior years passed without her finding any true love. Finally in her senior year, she met Michael. He was a family sim, and they began spending a lot of time together.

And one day… he popped the question!

As soon as the two of them finished school, they got a house together and got married!

They even went so far to buy an identical house that they lived in at Uni.

Michael decided he wanted to start a family immediately, and so Silica had baby #1 mere days after they moved into their new home.

But Silica is worried… she wants desperately to become mayor of Pleasantview. She feels as though she doesn’t have time for any more than one child. Michael on the other hand wants lots and lots of babies. His lifetime aspiration is to graduate three children from college.

Can the two of them compromise and live happily ever after, or will they clash over their very different aspirations and fall apart?

Find out in the next “Silica Marshall” installment!

A lot has changed in Simworld! First off, the old Pleasantview was sucked up in a massive tornado, killing 100% of the residents and townies. Therefore, a new Pleasantview was erected. Eerily enough, the new residents look the same as the old…

Meanwhile, Fairview was born, and with it, Wisteria Lane. It’s the Desperate Sim Housewives!

The Scavos (before Penny and Parker arrived) - Lynette, Tom, and the twins Porter and Preston:

Mrs. Crumplebottom Photos

January 3rd, 2008 by Rian | 1 Comment | Filed in Funny Pictures, Mrs. Crumplebottom

Isn’t Mrs. Crumplebottom extremely annoying sometimes? Many a time she has come along and ruined dates for my poor Sims. Once she hit a date with a purse and the date-meter dropped from “Good” to “Bad”.

Here are some photos of her in action…

Mrs. C waiting for Jade Anne to get out of the pool so she can lecture her on common deceny:

Oops, Jade Anne had other plans first:

Good ole’ Mrs. Crumplebottom - what would we do without her?
