Introduce Yourself

[LydiaGhostlyDeetz]

Hello! I'm sort of new here? I've been using your guides for years but I've finally decided to join your forums.

Hi everyone, a veteran player joining here. Hoping to find some new inspiration and tips for modding my game even further.

Hi there! I’m not exactly new; I’m just an eternal lurker who never posts anything. I play the Sims 3!

I was going to re-read a favorite Sims 3 story—ILoveDolls’ “Gothic Legacy”—after quite a while, but I can’t seem to find it now. I’m kind of hoping that it is off-limits to me rather than missing and that if I get my member level up, somehow I’ll find it? Maybe?

~ JarofPearls,

I looks like ILoveDolls may have removed their story from the forum, as I seem to get the same error as you.

Oh no! That's a shame. Thank you very much for checking it.

Hi I am new here and introducing myself. I am very socially awkward, and this applies to the internet as well.

Hi, @emmapoint -- welcome to the forum. I think you will find this community to be really amazing and accepting of all types.

Hi Simmers and fellow "Nooboos"!

Finally! I am joining a community of fellow The Sims fans and I am honestly so excited! I've heard great things about being part of Sims communities... so I thought why not join one

I started playing Sims back in 2007 on the PS2 (Sims 2) but I'm not sure why I've never written in a forum before!

Are any other long time Sims players finally branching out on here

[deedee_828]

Welcome to all new Forum members!
It's nice to see new names whether you're here for Sims3 or Sims4, or just to be part of a friendly forum.
I'm a long-time player that's been around on the Forum's for some time, but it wasn't until after retirement that I became a permanent fixture!
Have fun here, feel free to ask questions, and happy simming!

Hi All! And greetings from snowy and sunny Finland!

I've been playing The Sims since it came out in 2001, and all of them. Had a few years break when the kids were small (they still are but are so much easier now, they're 11 and 9 atm ). I was missing playing, but I also knew myself and that if I'd start to play, I'd "waste" hours and hours into it. Finally I started playing again some years ago, but very rarely. Then I had burnout and while recovering (and started to feel better), I started to think about the things I enjoy in my life. And yes, playing Sims is one of them! So I made myself a favor, and got it on my computer. Got lost into it, bought most of the expansion packs, ran soon out of memory (playing on a laptop) and made hubby to get me MORE And now I'm saving for a "real computer" so that playing would be more fun (and graphics better!), and I have been saying since 2004 that I don't need a PC, I can do everything with a laptop. But no, now I definitely need a PC, and yes, the main reason is for playing the Sims 

I enjoy challenges, though I get bored really fast. For a few years I've been following some Youtubers for their Sims challenges and I love the storytelling aspect of it. But playing just for me is kind of stupid (well it's not but it is), and then I got inspired by this forum. I could update my story in here! Making up the story while playing is a great fun, and I believe it sparks some real creativity to fit in the stuff that happens in the game

I also dislocated my shoulder a week ago (teaching trampoline tricks I learned from the kids, to other adults... teaching was successful though!) so now I have some extra time on my hands, and I decided to start my story at the legacy thread (the Thomson Family).

Hope you are all well!

ps. having also so much fun on learning again how to do all the stuff in HTML
pps. pipettipioloki is a nickname I made up when I was studying at the uni. Pipetti = pipette and pioloki = biologi = biologist. I studied cell biology

Hi everyone! My name is Maggie.

I bought the Sims 3 just before Pets came out and have been playing for eleven years now. I tried the Sims 4 a bit after its initial release, but the switch from a very fleshed-out game to one that was (originally) missing many of my favorite elements proved a bit too harsh for me. I’ve thought about trying TS4 again now that some of those features have been added, but have never gotten around to it. To be honest, after reflecting on the small fortune I’ve invested into TS3, it might be for the best.

Carl and Pam’s guide is still one of my top bookmarks, saved back when I was a new simmer all those years ago. I read many of the popular stories and dynasties posted to the forum at the time (I remember eagerly checking back every week for new chapters of Pam’s DecaDynasty). I made this account a few years ago, but never got around to posting anything. I was inspired to, however, last month, when I upgraded my computer for the first time in nine years.

I've been amazed at how the Sims runs on a sleek little Macbook as opposed to a 2-inch thick Dell laptop. Armed with my new hardware, I’m hoping to complete an Immortal Dynasty, which has been a goal of mine since I first started playing TS3. Wish me luck!

Hello Everyone, My name is Melissa, aka Spend4zen, I have been playing the Sims since The Sims1 and every version there after.  I have been a long time lurker here at Carl's and thought it was time to make it official.  I love the game, I love playing challenges and posting the occasional screen shot or two.  I have been a member of the other forum for a while and decided to try out a new atmosphere for something new and fresh idea's.  I am physically handicapped so I have good days and bad days and occasional make spelling and awkward mistakes so please be patient with Me and let Me know if I mess anything up.  I read all the forum rules and clearly understand them so if I make a goof up please let me know instead of just kicking me out, I promise it was not intentional. I am a nice person and I like everybody.  I am looking forward to making friends and having fun together on a great forum once I figure out how everything works.

@Pipettipioloki @peach and @Spend4zen

A warm welcome to the forum!
There are various ways to interact with our friendly community so I hope you find one or two that match your groove: sharing screenshots, tournament challenges, writing about your dynasty or other challenge, commenting on other simmers' stories, and asking/answering questions about the game.
So glad you've joined us!  Happy simming!

I have impaired vision and am constantly making typos, even after several proofreads. You will be fine.

[Ronald1962]

Hello Everyone, my name is Ronald. I still have the "The Sims" box and CD from the first The Sims and most (maybe all?) of the expansion packs. I got a new computer last November and started playing The Sims 3 again. 
Kind of buggy since the game, the expansion packs, and one stuff pack (High-End Loft) were all DVDs I bought from Walmart back when they were released.
This is why I joined.

(Also the Dragon Valley DVD doesn't work, but I don't care.)

Thanks for the forum and its members.
