First topic message reminder :

Putting up this thread so that everyone can show off their Island Paradise pics. Show us your favorite sims having fun in the sun, on the beach, diving, or whatever else you can think of. Just keep it somewhat PG, because there are younger simmers on here.

I only have a few pictures that I've taken today. Sent my mermaid family to the beach and they had to cross water to get there, so I guess I found a different way to transport toddlers.

Kitiana is such a cutie and I love seeing pictures of your family. It does seem to take forever to get from point a to point b in Isla Paradiso. I love playing that world, but my game seems to lag a little while I'm there.

thanks katink, i did put on new clothes for kitiana and new hair on her too. it seem that baby will is darker than either of his parent lol gee. my game does seem to lag in is too sigh. more ram is needed i guess. the rendering is coming going a bit too same as in sunlit world. i wonder if it all that light and water going on, the houseboat are always moving around too. the game is a bit glitchy it seem i think , not sure what but it seem kinda choppy . dach has problems with hers and she has pretty new and strong computer too.it just ea maxis game engine i guess.
mm wolverine is doign well but , it might flame out quickly with everyone who want to see it is seeing it already then there no one left to watch it after just a weekend or so mmm.
summer not over yet
but her it is 17 outside and dreary and overcast and not warm now at all wow. my face and ears were cold from walking around town . at leat it not raining here now . nut more later perhaps. rain and sun and around 22 temp for monday oh well. rainy weekend for some reason.

dont forget to copy your save world , copy paste to area outside the sims . it not that big a file or folder it nothing really , so make a copy , one can save or course. i wonder how many folk game were borked eh.

I've been playing quite a bit in Moonlight Falls...really love that world and I finally got the zombie mod, because I was tired of seeing the dead plants on my lots. Most of the time, my sims laughed at the zombies, but anywho, I've been getting the urge to play Isla Paradiso, so I'll probably drop one of my IP families into my game and play that world for a while. I just have to remember to add the Alchemy store in case I want some elixirs.

oh i wanna do witches and elixers too. so much stuff to do in sims ohhhhhhhhh

I just discovered the gem cutting machine the other night, so I had my werewolf collecting gems to cut. In the same game, I had an aspiring writer sim and I was trying to unlock all of the writing genres. I agree...so much left to discover in this game.

that the game part of the game yeah! i have been snorkling to get the collectibles stuff. someone said he had his sim get a science degree and combine it with something to get more game going mm. let me see if i can get find that
unlocking all writing genre mm , i had a a sim or 2 be illustrators for different kind of fiction mmmm

read down to find poster ck213 he says he does
--My sim has combined scuba diving as a skill career with the University Science skill and skill objects. She has been exploring the deeps and collecting samples. She can now clone specimens. I've been using my store objects, like the Multi-Tab, so she can multi-task. She has a mermaid gal-pal to help her out--


mmm borked store items gee whizz

mm is glitches thread mm

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/1125/686687.page

Sounds to me like ck213 is getting the most out of his game and that's what I like to do also. I think the expansion packs get boring when people only try stuff from just one instead of combining different things from the other expansions. Another good one is to have a sim in the medical career who dabbles in science and gardening. Someone could write a story about how she/he is trying to find a cure for an illness.

I don't think I have any of the borked store items, but I'll keep an eye out in my game. I have so much stuff in there, sometimes I'm surprised when I find something that I didn't even know I had.  

i have tons of stuff too ! i do try things from expansion i have and dont mix thing up too much , that because i have yet to try things yet.like i know there are things to do with kids babies and they have diff things i have yet to use yet. so im working on that ,then i probably never bother much with babies and kids again but will have them in my game though. one can train pets to be the best of breed in shows too , world adventures ohmygosh so much to do so much . it terrible how behind i am . i tried some of the french subworld game that is fun. but boy that world sure sucked big time wow. i have yet to go to china . so the martial art thing mmmmmmm ehhhhhhhhhhh i m no kungfu fan. i do love that movie totally recall oh good action in that eh.

I had to get rid of World Adventures, because there were too many routing issues. I did love playing in Shang Simla, though, and actually had one of my sims as a photographer. Actually came pretty close to completing all of the picture collections too. I think my favorite thing in WA was the snake charmer basket. I would take a sim with the inappropriate trait and have them get the snake in unsuspecting sims pants just to see them hop around like crazy....funny.

oh that a awful good idea -- gonna try -- inappropriate trait - oh i gotta try with mmm flirting ohhh--i keep missing that trait for gosh sake. oh well will try it on my next sim i will

The inappropriate sims can be pretty fun unless they go around trying to kiss everyone.  Then again, that's pretty amusing too.   I'm trying to use the traits that I overlooked before. The only one that I'm not too impressed with is Vehicle Enthusiast...wow, they can have a good relationship with their car.   The Diva trait from Showtime was very amusing and the Genius trait always makes me laugh when they say, "Ah! Uh huh."

oh that sound so fun, i did try to mix up my traits ,only i cant remember what now lol. i cant remember a thing i put in some new sims in my sim bin recently and had to pick traits. usally i leave them as is so i can get some vairety sure!
here a pretty tumblr for simmers from a simmer who made color palette hex code with codes picture example it dreamy stuff ohhh

http://pixelpalettes.tumblr.com/

Ooooh! Nice link! Definitely need to follow that tumblr for the color combos.

it good with a cup of something to drink and dream mm. it very nice stuff. i have used lot of them. good to get different shades of colors with out having to fiddle with them all.good to use on castable patterns too. i forget how i do that right now eh.i use the drag over method a lot. one can change the different parts of a pattern but not the textures of some patterns eg being houndtooth, one can go orange purple wooooo

Ahh...I've missed this thread also...I just enjoy reading the conversations between Kat and mamx!!! My 2 truly adorable members/friends!! Although many here are also adorable members and friends!! Lol!!

I had to take out WA because it just l a g g e d way too much!! I did enjoy cave exploring...truly fun part of the game as you had to solve puzzles and actually felt like a true explorer! I've never played around with the snake basket...I'm not sure when the last time I actually played a sim with the inappropriate trait. I think the last time I did, many moons ago, Lol!!...my sim kept bathing with their clothes on, or wearing formal wear on regular day's and I think the occasional streaking!!  

Diva...just a bit too close to home if you get my drift. It got a bit irritating to see this sim stub her nose in the air ALL THE DARN TIME!!   I have a vehicle enthusiast but havent' played him or her much. (forgot I made a female one also)

I MISS pet's also... I want to get it back in game and make or find me a Friesian horse...THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!,


Stunning isn't it?!

And I want it jet black with a thick mane of hair. Kat found me a beauty when I had it installed and I miss it!!

Oh, reminds me, I NEVER got Barnacle Bay like I was suppose to!!!! I guess it's time to contact Origin again and see what's up. Not even sure if I'd like it but I pre ordered and I think it should be supplied as promised...as well as the survival kit.... 

I guess that was one of the glitches, if I remember correctly...people not getting their promised extra's.

bummer things are going not good . well at least one can still try to fix it .
ohmoghossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhh
movie with sandra bullock george clooney , who not as good looking as he was in spykid3- yes he was in that and it was jarring to see his super handsome then only a few years ago lol filmed in 2003
gravity is that new movie and i m watching the movie trailer omgggggggggggggggggoshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
oct 4 it release and it a real suspense one , only film that did that to me was jurassic park when it came out. this one might do the same thing for many what ya thinks eh. stuck in space for hours mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm in imax or 3d mmmmm

Merman paparazzi? I clicked on this guy running on the beach and it says he's "Harley Greenwood, Paparazzi. For some reason that strikes me as odd.

oh ooooooooooooh maybe that why we have so many unroutable sims huh. the game seem to have many many sims from somewhere gee.

He is just getting older mamx...he might want to reconsider finding a companion before he gets much older. Like you mentioned...his looks are fading....

I want to see the movie 'The Conjuring'...I LOVE horror flicks and want to see this so bad!!! Nobody near me likes horror flicks so I'm not sure when I will be able to see it.

Last movie I saw was 'The Purge'...great movie, love the turn at the end of the movie...very original!!

Take that back...last movie was 'Despicable Me 2'...I think I laughed harder and louder than the little one's in the theatre!!

horror is big now i saw all that stuff years ago, i was very very young then, horror today oh too bloody not scary enough , or something but it all changing again. saw the one oh 13 ghosts ugh. and saw that one about japanese ghost sarah michelle gellar oh
not into stephen king
or horror video game eeks

i swear it always the girls who loves the horror genre eh

mother conjuring dark so many out now

dark skies

pitch black will scare the snot out of ya hahahhahahhahahohaaha

So I see there is good reason to NOT want to be an Astronaut!! How horrifying would that be?!!!! I do, however, want to see this movie!!

Wow...so the unroutable sims is a glitch issue? I thought it was just me experiencing so many of them. Good to know so maybe they will see fit to fix this annoying problem. 

it seem to be really grabbing folk interests. at the big comic con convention it was like oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

many have said unroutable sims, so not sure what that means , it means sims stuck i think. there a whole thread just on problems in island over at the sims

I get a ton of them too.

my overwatch or is errortrap seems to catch them all and it a lot. dach lost a family she think when she put in one of them mods. i have a feeling it the season expansion is doing something , even my weather get stuck at time and i have to change it eeks

I find that sometimes when Overwatch announces I have a unroutable sim, shortly after that my game will lock up. It's tiring to say the least...

dont forget to make sure u have the right mods huh. update and correct ones for the digital or not digital version of our games.i dont understand why so many of us have like different error or whatever it most vexing!

Well the kids went to school in my game after adding the overwatch and then they were no longer playable in the family they disappeared and never came back from school....midnight came in the game and they were still gone...and when i restarted their picture on the thumbnail was a blurr on the kids and it did the exact same thing again...the left for school and disappeared...

I guess you tried resetsim? There's also a way to reset the whole town:
- Go to map view
- Find the town hall icon and click
- click on nraas->Master Controller->Town->Reset all

oh that so good to know wowwww

Dach...that just sounds so...tragic...wow!

Come to my site to get her and all her CC:
http://dachssims.blogspot.com/2013/08/mackenzie-savage.html

I made her special for this world...I love her nose...Todd (Mamx) wasn't as crazy for the nose but oh well...=/

She is beautiful Dach!   

That is one gorgeous simmie. !

hee hee

You know you didn't care for her nose...i think her nose is what is super special about her...besides her being her...but Todd will take her in game and tweak her to his liking...so that is fine with me...i am trying to make different looking sims...trying to go outside my comfort zone and make each one unique...

Hée Dachs, youre Simmie is really wunderfull.  I will download her anyway although I'm not able to play right now. I will keep her in a save place.

heh, well i might change my mind when she in the game i have to really see how she looks inside the game.
thank god we are at 105 temp as in asia and japan. does it ever get that hot in america?

I really like unusual sims. Generic pretty sims are boring and I appreciate seeing different features.

oh she sure is pretty oh. hot mama! i like she sultry and latina something and as for zombie they freak me out since i cant figure out how to fence them out properly like on houseboat it sure is hard and the music is freaky so i do put out rocking chair to keep them occupied mm

OMG I think I woke the neighbors!!! You had a zombie check into your resort?! Too funny! Love the storyline you told...how tragic the young hubby died. Yes...I would find her a new mate also. Your sim is GORGEOUS!! Very exotic looking and seems like she will fit in perfect in the Island world!
