Around my Sims - Welcome!
Introduction
You'll find pictures of my game: you can visit my town, that is a completely renovated Sunset Valley, renamed Sandy Valley by my frien Bibi; you can meet my Sims, and read about their lives.
Of course, everything isn't ready yet... Not all the buildings of the town are visitable, but it will be updated! ;)
Sandy Valley is very "frenchy", and so are its inhabitants. I've never been much into fantasy, so you might find my little Simmies pretty boring, but I've always tried to make them very different from each others. They can be a bit caricatural because I like when my game makes me laughing. But I hope you'll learn to appreciate them! :)

There's nothing to download: my town can't be shared due to its excessive use of custom content (both in .package and .sim3pack), so please, don't ask me to share it: it's impossible!



Note pour mes lecteurs francophones.
Je vais probablement décevoir mes lecteurs francophones, mais maintenir ce site en anglais et en français me demande trop de temps et d'énergie. J'ai parfois envie de poster une petite mise à jour, mais je suis découragée par la somme de travail. J'ai envie que ce site soit purement ludique, pas que ça devienne une corvée, et pour l'instant, supprimer la partie en français me semble aller dans le sens d'un allègement du travail à fournir pour ce site. Peut-être que je changerai d'avis dans le futur, mais je ne crois pas que mon temps libre va s'allonger dans les mois à venir... :(

The Sims Daily Forum is a super nice new forum where we can chat about our dear games, share ideas about decorations or fashion, send pictures of our Sims... It's very friendly, and you'll be very welcome!
There's no specific requirement to join, you don't have to be the most wonderful decorator, the most inventive player... You play the Sims and enjoy chatting about it? That's all right, you fit the profile! :D

One more update! It really helps to have the site in english only! :)
That's another Valentine Day story, this time starring the politican Damien Demazières, who is trying to rebuild his reputation before the elections of the mayorship... :)

As I've decided to now only write in english on this site, I might have more time for updates... Of course, what I really need is time to PLAY, but at least, I won't feel too discoraged by the work to do when I have a short non-story to post. ;)

Today, we'll follow Edwige Fabulard in the organization of a teens party for her daughter and her exchange student. Not exactly the wildest party ever, though...

If you have sunglasses or aspirin, you can visit the Fabulard's house here. But you've been warned... It's Patty and Edwige who made the decoration. Just as wild as they like...


I'm also posting here a short non-story already posted at the Sims Daily forum, because it was my entry to the Be my Valentine challenge. The idea was to set a romantic date between two Sims, to let the things go, and to tell a story about it. And it was pretty much a failure: Shortest date ever in the Sims history!

Have I mentioned that there's a participation prize for whoever who tells us a story about Valentine day, Sims 1, 2 or 3, and that the gift, originally made for Sims 3, could be easily remade for Sims 1 or 2, if needed? ;)

There's obviously Sims I want to play more often than others, and Chloé is one of them, so... we'll follow the Degnome's sisters during few more days! ;)

You might meet new faces in town: the Dailies. These are sim-selves of my buddies at the Sims Daily Forum (that you can join at any time if you enjoy chats about the game... ;)), and they spend holidays in Sandy Valley. I don't play them, but it's fun to see them among my Sims. *chuckle* What they do is told on the forum, though, as it seemed more relevant.

I haven't found yet the time to play this year, but I update with some progresses made in town! :)

First, as you might have seen with my latest set, I renovated the Station-Museum.

Then, I finally create a district page for the Canal District. The district is still under construction (but all my town is always and will always be under construction!), but there's now lots that you can visit, like the Rue du Chat qui vole, with its pet shop and tea room, the flowers market, the Catacombs, that you have already seen with the Halloween party, and the Canal banks. More lots to visit will be added later. :)

I promised myself to accept the unexpected of the game, good or bad (well.... maybe not a meteor... that might be a bit too much!!), and booooooy, I haven't been disappointed in terms of "unexpected". It wasn't even with families I had planned to play with. I'm just checking what pieces of CC can be missing in my Sims houses, since I cleaned a little bit my game with Pets install. So, I was checking a house, and BAM, good news... I was checking another one, wanted to take few shots of the Canal District, and BAM, bad news...

So, there's two non-stories for tonight...
Handling the unexpected for the best ... and for the worst.

*sob*
