The Sims Life & Times

The Sims, as anyone who plays can attest, takes on a life of its own. I created this blog so I could keep track of my sim stories and share them with others. I've always wanted to write stories but unfortunately I'm not very good at it lol I am hoping that just as my house building has improved so will my storytelling abilities.

My main family is called the Snookers. My goal was to move 1 sim into Relfamtown and see how the population would grow. I hope you will follow along with me.
If you would like to see all the stories in the Relfamtown series then click on Snooker Chronicles to the left and start at the bottom of the list.

UPDATE - Well since I had a major meltdown and lost Relfamtown, the Snookers are now in Sim Heaven and there will not be anymore updates on them :-( Out of the bad comes good though and Tesime is a new neighbourhood that I created for the Test of Time challenge. I hope you will enjoy their stories as well !

We interrupt this program for...BBS problems ??

Hello to all my fellow ToT'ers ! I do hope everyone is still playing their various neighbourhoods and progressing nicely in the challenge. Tesime had 2 new teen couples move out onto their own lots so we are growing by leaps and bounds and I cant wait to share all the fun with you. For a couple of weeks now the BBS has been less then reliable to say the least. This is really hampering the way we communicate about our beloved challenge. I was thinking it might be time to move to another site so we can continue to keep each other motivated and who knows we might actually pick up new players as well ! I would love to hear your thoughts so if you can post a reply to the thread that would be great - you dont even need to register. I can't even get onto the BBS to let anyone know what is happening, though I am sure everyone is in the same boat. The first one I thought of was Mts which most people are probably registered for already and they seem to have a pretty busy sims2 forum still but if you have another suggestion please post it. I really miss you all and look forward to getting caught up with everyone soon.

I also vote MTS. I'm already playing another challenge over there and I'm sure there'll be lots of Simmers there interested in both versions of the challenge. We could easily make a Google Doc or something similar for the rules, so we could link to it on the new thread. (Although someone else would have to do that as I don't know how) :)

omg Anna you rock! *super hugs!* ah...I feel less isolated now *__*

I too am having the absolute *beep* with the forum for the last two weeks and am starting to suspect maybe that's why it's been SO very dead the last month...?

First though...*feeling stupid* what is MTS? O_< A forum I visit regularly is forums.boolprop.com, I think we'd slide into the "other" category but ya know~ oh...is that mod the sims? >_> omg I'm so lame...*face flop onto desk* oh no! And now I was so excited about getting in touch with everyone again I let my cup of tea go cold! *despair!*

Anyway to contact Star and/or Debs?

Hi VT and Taliah ! Yaaa so glad you both are onboard with the idea. I have already saved all the rules for the challenge and can do up a new post for MTS if that seems like the best place to host it. Im not sure how to get in touch with any of the others. I checked Deb and Star's website but I didnt see a way to leave them a message :-( Hopefully they will check the BBS thread and follow our trail of breadcrumbs ;-)

janet said...

oh LMAO @ Taliah. Now I KNOW we are important to have tea go cold !

VT said...

If I can access the old abandoned VPC Yahoo Group, I might be able to find Star's email address and let her know. I think she's in contact with Debs too, so she could pass the message on - don't know if it would work, but worth a try.

VT said...

OK, I've emailed Star to let her know we're all here and discussing a move. Hopefully she and Debs will be back with us soon enough. *fingers crossed*

Thanks VT !!

VT said...

No problem - anything to keep our challenge alive. I haven't heard anything from Star or Debs yet, but a few of the Simmers who can still access the BBS say it might be the Store causing the problems, and it's possible things could pick up once it's closed. I don't know if that's the case, but with any luck Debs and Star will be able to get back to the original thread and find us here even if they don't get my email.

Should I start a thread on MTS with our challenge or wait for a bit then? I thought the store was already closed.

VT said...

I'd say start the new thread, just to be on the safe side. The store closed yesterday, they just stopped selling points for it earlier. I think whoever said it might be right though, it's much easier for me to get on the BBS now - I just checked. So we should probably keep checking back for any sign of Debs and/or Star.

I still can't open bbs >__<

Ok on the weekend I will do that and add a link on my blog. That way even if the others happen to drop by they wont have to read through comments to see what we are up to. I tried the BBS again first thing this morning and while I can get on the main page its taking forever to load a topic so I think going offsite is the best option now.
