Exactly. I'm an adult, I can handle some polygonal nudity. Why the heck not, right? It's actually a milestone for me in a videogame series.



That was my very first mod. Ever. I had some troubles figuring out how it's supposed to work, but once I actually got it going, I had to reload my game twice, just to make sure (Holy Crap!) there really was no more intro movie.

The no intro mod is somewhere on the page above; it's basically used as a test to see if you're doing things right. Most of the Mods I've found are clothing, makeup, and other such mods. Houses. Cars. Behavior modifications. That sort of thing. So far I'm not really interested in any of these; there's so much to explore in the vanilla game. I don't want to clutter it up with a bunch of fluff to confuse me. Not yet, anyways.

Okay, here is an example of the no pixilation mod.

And here is another example.

Sorry. We can't show full nudity on this show, so there's a couple NC-17 shots for ya. Thank you Ashe Hull for allowing us to amend your original contract. I know when you showed up for screening several weeks ago, nudity was not actually penned-in. har-har-har You'll be paid double union scale for these.

Ratings for Ashe & Connie are probably going to go through the roof, now.

Please do


Can´t you just press a button and skip the intro like in Simcity?


@Renee - Ehm.. nice pixies...? Not sure if I should go any further with this

No,well kinda.

It works like half the time,I just end up mashing my keyboard until the intro stops.

You can, but this means you have to wait until the intro actually shows up. You have to wait for several little animations (like the Maxis logo) come and go before the intro movie starts. This takes 20 or 30 seconds.

So in other words, if the intro movie is disabled, that's 20 or 30 seconds saved. I don't have to wait through those seconds to press a button on my keyboard, which means I can do something else. I can nuke a meal or change clothes or whatever.


I was trying to be subtle. Believe me, the last thing I'd want to see is me (the producer of Ashe and Connie) getting fined right when the show's taking off. That's my roleplay with Sims 3, by the way--I am the producer and director of their reality show.

It's such a great roleplay, too. I pretend my Sims have small earpieces (disguised as ear rings) equipped. Although they can do things on their own, I can also give them suggestions here and there. So (let's say) if there's somebody cute I want Connie to check out, I'll click on that Sim and off she goes.

I like the idea that you treat it as being the producer of a reality show. That gives you an excellent excuse for watching their every move without being labelled something shadowy

Exactly! I'm not an obsessive reality show watcher, but I've sat down and watched portions of them before. Ya know: Keeping up with the Kardashians, Real Housewives, Jersey Shore, that sort of thing. They're not entirely "reality" anymore, there's a lot of production going on at all times. Somebody's telling them what to do, but there is also often some leeway, in the sense that the stars of these shows can go their own directions if they want to (to some extent).

COPS is the original reality show. It's the only one that's completely unscripted.

I don´t know. Sometimes I reckon they made another take on an arrest because the criminal didn´t shout enough when being tazed

Here are some new pictures.



That's Connie in her new faux white leopard blouse and matching suede jeans.



And here's a spy shot of Connie distracting Kate the Maid from finishing her job, once again.



Connie bought a car. It's the cheapest in the entire game. Only cost 950 Simoleans. I'm wondering if Sims 3 simulates cars breaking down? This looks like the sort that would break down all the time.



That's an example of the Seasons DLC doing its thing. It never rains in the vanilla game; I'm not even sure if it gets overcast. Anyways, here we can see some rain. Also: notice the trees. It's Autumn, and those trees are definitely changing color.



That's Princess surfing the web, and finally...



That's Princess playing in some leaves. Although the animation is not entirely realistic, the leaves actually do come off the ground, so it takes awhile for a leaf pile like this to form.

Awesome! I love those pixies!!

Ashe went up to her plot of land today. She actually owns two plots at the moment, and is building a house on one of them. Last time she was here, she had the pretend builders put down a black stone floor, and off-white walls. This is just the shell of the house, and I forget how much all of this cost.

I think she had about 5,000 S or maybe 6,000 (S meaning Simoleans, which is their form of money). Well, she wound up spending almost ALL her Simoleans today. She's a 'classy' woman, so what's happening is she tends to go for the best stuff she can buy. She has expensive taste, and we're slowly building a good-looking house.

Today the builders wound up building a few walls to make a bathroom. Put a counter in there, and a sink. One mirror. A couple towel racks and windows. Two doors. A shower, toilet, roll dispenser, trash can, and some lights. She put several other windows in, like 7 or 8 windows. A couple doors, front and rear. A loveseat, and a refrigerator.

So basically, she finished ONE room (the bathroom), put some windows in, some doors, a loveseat and a 'fridge. After this ALMOST ALL HER MONEY WAS GONE! She could have bought cheaper stuff, and filled up other rooms, but her tastes are too expensive, apparently.

She also bought her own car. It's black and looks kinda like a Lexus or a Mercedes. I took screenies of all this! Probably put 'em up later this week.

I'm currently trynna save money. It seems I'm struggling with finances in sims just as much as I am in real life

I'm saving up to build some sort of bridge to a secret island lol

Love this! Will you build a fort on it too?

Ooh, cool!

Interesting. I find that Ashe Hull (as CEO of her megacorporation) earns money a little too quickly. But now that she's building her house she also burns through her money very fast.

Here is her new house, by the way.



It's currently a single-story home; eventually she's going to add a second floor. I'm not too crazy about the roof color; I'll have to see about changing it if possible.

Here is a cut-away shot.



The only room fully furnished at the moment is the bathroom, which is on the lower left. There's not much else in there, yet her house has (so far) costed THOUSANDS of Simoleans!



And that's Ashe Hull's Lexus or whatever that car's supposed to resemble. She would die to be seen driving Connie Lingus's cheapie-mobile!



Occasionally when Ashe has to go somewhere, a limo shows up. Imagine that. I'm actually jealous of a videogame character, folks.



And above's a shot of Connie Lingus, passed out on the floor. She was going going going, while her Energy Bar was deep red. And this is what happens when Sims don't get some rest.



And here's a shot of Connie in her new "Ab-Fab" outfit. There used to be a British show called Absolutely Fabulous; the main characters would often wear garish outfits such as these.



That's a nice shot of the town with some fog. Again, the Seasons DLC adds cool weather effects. In the base game it's always sunny.



Ashe Hull again. Here she is relaxing in her new home. I love the fall-colored trees (as well as the fog) seen through the windows.



And there's little Princess Hull. On her way to school. Cute clothes, eh? My daughter wants that outfit.

Great pixies, Renee!

No limo ever shows up for me and I definitely don´t get money too fast! That house, is that Ashe´s second? Wasn´t her first house much more narrow in design?

The first house is a pre-designed house the devs drew up. Yeah, it's kinda cramped in there.

This just in! I found a Grow mod that makes toddlers, children, and teens grow a little bit each day!

In the vanilla game, what happens is when a toddler becomes a child, they grow all a sudden. It's as if they're 3 one day and 7 the next. Same thing happens from Child to Teen. Well, what this mod does is makes them grow progressively, so that they're a little taller each day. Yeah, this is gonna be AMAZING.

So little Princess is actually growing? I didn´t think that was possible in these games!
