Hi Everyone,
My name is Debbie and I'm new to TS3 but I'm already addicted. I found this community when I was looking for information and tips on how to play - this is the best resource I have found. Then I started reading Pam's Immortal Dynasty and found I couldn't stop. I still have a lot more to read but I can't wait to see how it turns out. Most of all I was impressed that this seems to be a more mature community - not so much in terms of age but in terms of content.
A little about me...I'm 47, happily married (on 9/9/09) to my best friend. We don't have any children but we have 2 big dogs, 3 cats, and 11 chickens. We live south of Boston, MA. I have played a couple of Sims games on my Nintendo DS many years ago and really enjoyed them but never got into the PC version until 2 weeks ago when I bought and downloaded TS3.
At the moment I have 2 families going. The first started by Willow Logan, a small town girl who is finding fame and fortune in Bridgeport as a stylist. There she befriended Morrigan Hemlock and asked to be turned. Life as a vampire has been great so far - she met, fell in love with, married and turned Matthew Hamming. She is focusing on her career before she and Matthew start a family. In the meantime I am building their dream house and they are working to earn the money to buy it.
My other Sim is Jewel Cartier, a recent (as in last night) arrival to SV. She is the founder of my legacy family - 'The Family Jewels'. I plan to follow her and her chosen heirs for 10 generations. I'm thinking this will be a matriarchal legacy (for no other reason than I think it's more fun to dress up girl Sims) and I'm planning on naming her descendants after gemstones. So far she has bought her large plot of land and is temporarily living in the firehouse until she can save up some money or snag a husband.
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to getting to know you and hopefully sharing some of Jewel's adventures.
