So ... how's this for my first post since May 2018!!
I loved TS3 back in the day, like obsessed with it. I loved the character depth, the fact that every little thing had more things you could do with it, and building - building was my favourite. I found Carl's guide and never looked elsewhere. Carl has created a wonderful TS3 community - with lots of help - and I love being a part of this family. It still makes my heart ache to think that Pam has passed. I tried TS4 when it came out but it seriously lacked the depth I loved with TS3 and I got bored very quickly, haven't play TS4 since.
Since then, I've had our 3rd baby in 2017 (dealt with post-partum anxiety for a year - again), was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, had surgery to completely remove it, then had reconstructive surgery in 2020 (post-poned thanks to covid), spent this past year working serious overtime due to staffing shortages (than you covid), and now had diastasis repair and tummy tuck surgery 5 weeks ago. All that to say, I've been busy dealing with life and kiddos and their lives, TS3 never made it onto the schedule.
I have been dreaming of a house (literally) that my brain wants to build in TS3, so once sitting leaning forwards for prolonged periods doesn't send my back and abs into spasms, I will be back. I am still lurking around the forum.
