Twitter Followed Thread!

On the forums lately...
I've created a thread that lists all the simmers that have twitter so we can follow each other. So far the thread's pretty quiet... OK. It's silent.

LittleRaysOfSunshine (2)

I'd just like to take a moment to talk about this modelling competition. Those of you on the forums might have seen me getting extremely obsessive about it. JOIN IT NOW!


But seriously, the thread is for anyone of any talents so just join. 
This is one of the rare comps where you can have a model of any gender and any age.


If you want to join, click here.

You have until Wednesday, but I'm sure the lovely Sims3PlayrG will let you join before the Task 1 deadline. (Don't tell her I said that!)


In the words of nike :


Pretty please? We need 3 models for the list to be full. Reserve today! (You don't have to know how to edit.)

Embarassment.

Guess who was so close to getting Outdoor Living today?
Me.


But my card was declined, I'm outta cash.


It was so embarrassing! It was like that time when I was dancing and my shoe flew off and hit an old lady...

Brighten up your day!

Click here to see a nice lil' thread that'll brighten up your day! (Unless you have fangs.) ;)

Click this link, I dare ya!

I judged 5 competitions back on TS2, but hey! These days all the cool kids play TS3, so I'm judging a contest, I'd say it's for beginners, but anyone can join.
It's called LittleRaysOfSunshine and looks to be a lively one folks!
(Not as lively as 'That's A Wrap' where a model dropped out because a sentence was in CAPS and she got offended.)
I apologize for that, this isn't The Mare's Nest. (...Or is it?   No seriously, it's not.)


I seriously recommend you sign up by clicking here, we're struggling for sign-ups at the moment.

My first Assignment!

I've been considering it for a long time and I finally decided to do it! I've entered a competition. It's mainly for beginners so I should fit in just fine...


Here's my first assignment...



I remembered my grandma telling me about this breath taking lake up in the mountains. It took me all day to find this place, it took me back to my early years when I was still a photographer...
If only I'd remembered to bring my camera, it was just the way the flowers were intertwined as they circled the beautiful blue lake. Just the way she described it.
I let a few tears escape as I took a closer look, I stared ahead, expressionless as I pictured my grandmother sitting among the flowers - in grandpa's arms laughing the day away. I could see her marvelling at the flowers, jumping into the beautiful lake - not caring about her hair.
I couldn't help but want that for myself.

Cure To Boredom!

Could it be?
...A Cure?


I know what you might think, "Impossible!" but yes. I have found a cure to all my boredom, and that cure... is... girlsense.
I know, the site is childish. But it's keeping me entertained, right?


My Boutique

Mac Computer!

First CC Post!
I found out about this on Chevron's CC blog, the original post is here.
Here are some pictures of the computer itself :


It comes in a .package file, and has 3 recolourable channels.
The computer looks great in the game, and I run on lowest graphics settings.
It works like any other computer and has smooth animations. It's even shiny!


Download It Here!

Wait A Minute...

You guys may be thinging WTF?
Which means What The Fudge?


But yes, I am now a CC blog as well as just a Sims 3 blog! It may not look like it at the moment, but I'll be reviewing, touring and sharing my favourite CC! (I know I use a lot of '!' but I am genuinely a cheesy person.)


So, if you want to see the new CC section just click the new 'CC' option on the right. (It's under 'Stuff...')

Look Out For Me On The Forums!

I'm trying to count my blessings right now.
It's hard.


My laptop cd-rom player thing-a-ma-bob has broken. So while I wait for a new one to arrive I've decided to spend my simming time on the forums. And in the real world - but mostly in the forums.


So look out for me, and add me as a friend : My Page

I've even signed up for two different sim brothers, I'm that bored.
Please, feel free to shed some light on the subject!

Looking For Inspiration...

I didn't really plan on bringing up Diamonds, Vanity and Sunset Valley again because my save file became corrupted and being myself, I hadn't made a back up.
I have a few potential ideas for a story... But haven't decided yet. I find it hard to commit to stories on TS3.
Until next time...

Easing Myself Back Into The Sims

After having an awesome couple of days at Disneyland without my laptop I decided to ease myself in with some easy stuff. Such as the Landgrabb family. (Sorry if I misspelt it, it's a tricky word!)
I always feel sorry for the loner son of theirs. While other children already have friends this little guy starts out with none... So I took him to the park, where he played by himself.
*ChucklesNervously*
So I did what any good simmer would do, I gave him a toy!
Now he could build a relationship with someone!
But with the wonders of free will...




He chose a pregnant lady. Not a child.
I have a ton of these photos from catch, it's a really addictive photo op!


I'm gonna finish you off with a romantic picture of my favourite two sims...
Not exactly related to the loner child problemo...
But look at them!
I used my very own Michael Buble   and ThatAmi's Claire O'Shea. She's pretty cute.
I did remake Claire a little but I've sorta become attached to that girl.


Michael Buble Download

Claire O'Shea Download


That's all for this time folks! Sorry if it wasn't very interesting but I really didn't want to disappear from the face of the Earth. (Or the forums.)
I'm also a little cranky from this virus I caught - it's not pleasant. I'm talking serious stuff here.


Ta'ra! (It means goodbye in North-Western speak ;) )

Pixie East

When Pixie's planet was destroyed she was the only survivor. She had to seek shelter in a little green planet called 'Earth' where she encountered a similar species called 'Sims'.
Now the poor girl has been given the task of saving her species from extinction and learning the ways of planet Earth.

Once you've downloaded the file save it in Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\ Saved Sims
Or you can download her from the Exchange in my studio, search Gembrett101

I'm Actually Committing To This One...

So I sort of disappeared for a while, but I've decided I'm gonna try to post at least every week. I hope.
On Sunday I'm going to disneyland so I won't visit this site until Friday! (TwilightZoneTowerOfTerrorWOOP!)
But I'm thinking of making a story using some of the townsfolk EA's already included in the game, I tend to get bored of CAS sometimes, especially since my computer's too slow to run CC and I can't seem to get enough of that stuff!
I have a family I've been playing for a while so I might try using them but from the start... Catching you up would be hard as I'm on the 6th Generation. ;)
I'll have pictures up soon!

So, Who Are You Exactly?

Hello There,
I'm GemBrett101 and this is my new blog. I've never really done this sort of thing before so sorry if I'm a little rusty...
I'm not really a talented simmer (yet) but I'll still bring you houses and sims and storys.
Follow me and let's see what happens...
Right now I'm off to download some more CC and make my avatar! 


Bye!
