Around my Sims - Welcome!

2011- 2012

April 1st, 2012


The Guinguette, an open-air restaurant of the Canal District, is now officially opened to visit! :)

Then, I'm experimenting a new kind of non-stories. Instead of focusing on a household or on an event, I focused on a period of time. I often jump from a Sim to another when I play, and it made sense to me to have a non-story written this way, at least for this update. So, you can read the Chronicles of Sim-Avril (2007) to know all the noticable events that happened during that time. :)

I haven't posted for a while because I first have been busy with another story than my Sims in Sandy valley! Yes! I wanted to try one of Estatica's tombs, as they looked really different from EA's ones (that I find totally pointless), and indeed, it was a lot of fun. The whole experience is shared a story at the Sims Daily forum, as the main characters were Dailies (sims-selves of forum members). It's called: The Dailies & the Treasure of the Hathaway Mansion, and warning, it's a major spoiler for anyone who wants to play with this tomb. ;)

Then, it's real life that made me busy... Finally, last saturday, I had a couple of hours to launch my game. I was too tired and too lazy to set up anything too elaborated, so I just called my Sims, invited them at the Irish Pub (it was Patrick day's in RL, and sim-march in game, the opportunity was too obvious! ;)), and then, I just watched, and my Sims did their show. :)
It's Saint-Patrick's Day! Read more...

Last Sim-Tuesday was Mardi-Gras in Sandy Valley. The kids of the primary school had their very own Carnaval on that occasion. Read more...

It's also the first update with a sim-date: this non-story is happening during Sim-February 2007. If you want to read more about my new aging system, much more free and easy to use than my previous, it's here: aging system. You'll also learn why we're in 2007. :)

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... :)


February 18th , 2012


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? ;)



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... :(

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.


January 15th, 2012


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. :)
