One of my favorite things to do in Sims 3 is creating Sims. I literally spend hours there. (if i try to play live mode, I just end up back in CAS every 10-15 minutes and every Sim can take 10 minutes to several hours.) This is Barbie for big girls and I played Barbie till I was 16. I brought my Barbies to my dorm room in Highschool..
Love of CAS includes, but is not limited to, picking up random Sims around town and using a cheat to take them back to CAS. (I can change their traits, name, favorites, everything) But when I do this, I limit the changes I make. I feel every Sim has a personality, and as soon as they hit my slab so to speak my brain starts making up a story for them. (plastic surgery humor)
Apart of creating Sims, is sharing them. I don't know if I can add downloads to this blog, but I can add photos and that's good enough for now. If I actually get some sort of following I'll find a way to share them via download as well.
EA Exchange blubber (just skip if you don't use it)
EA exchange has a lot of issues. I've tested the system by creating several Sims. Some complete CC, some no CC, some with no description, and I've experimented with file size and internet connection. Sims that go through are random. Large files, CC and no CC. I know it can't just be my internet because this issue has existed since at least 2012 and I am not the only Simmer with failed uploads. I do notice that as soon as it does not upload, deleting it from launcher and resharing it from CAS gives it better chance next time to go through. I have not tested yet to see if making minor changes allows it to go through, or if it just didn't upload from CAS to the Launcher right the first time.
I did attempt to use The Sims Resource to upload my Sims, but they have redonkulous stipulations regarding uploads.. I spent eight hours trying to read their rules and edit my submission of a Daenerys Targaryen Sim and they rejected it twice. Time I could have spent playing, or more importantly dishes.. sweeping, chores of any nature actually. (if you take time to read the photo and why they rejected it this time, I will say I don't know how to download sliders, I don't download skin, and I had already linked all CC, and tested the links to be sure they were good, even while logged out)
So I have to go and be a grown up with grownup responsibilities for the next several hours. When I get back, I think I'll post the Sim I personally think is the prettiest I've ever made. I can't describe her as anything but.... Pretty.
Thanks for reading!
