Please Read My Friends (+ New Sim)

This week I'll be absent for a few days. Which means: NO Sims for the days. I'll be on a vacation in the islands of Syros, Tinos & Mykonos. Probably with my mom, as part of a group trip. It's the final year of going on vacation with my parents. By next year I'll do the job on my own as I'll be independent.

THAT doesn't mean I'll stop playing The Sims. Means that I'll take a break from reality this week. I have other personal matters to take care of. The whole week from Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th of July. The Sims will always be there for me whenever I have time. Though it's also work that's putting pressure on my uploading and my routine. I work for this season, not as a waitress, but as a secretary helper.

I have limited the number of uploads on my catalog - see. I run out of bio ideas for my Sims and it's hard setting them skills and careers. That happens every day! Whenever I set them skills & stuff I feel like I've run out of inspiration so what. But the stories I give them take hours to be produced in my head. Only for challenges. Or just a few lines. E.G. "John is an outgoing & cheerful guy who recently found a job as a chef. He loves to hang out with friends & cook for them as well as set up parties for his guests." Then drop a "Please don't reupload" and that's it.

I also thought of the other one. Write the name of the Sim, age, career level, skilled or not, poses in brackets and packs used. E.G. "John Smith" Sim by: #mikrolactaki3. Age: Young Adult. Career: Culinary, level 3. #skilled. Poses by: #SakuraLeon (random pose maker) Packs used: (well I have few so I'm practicing about when I get more packs, I'm not gonna drop it xD) #bowlingnightstuff#gettogether#seasons#spaday#fitnessstuff#getfamous#gettowork#vintageglamourstuff. Also drop a "Please don't reupload" at the end. That's it.

I'm thinking of what's best for me. Even if I use more packs both are a good alternative. So the thing is that I'll keep you all updated even on my IG where I don't post the most ;)

New female sim; her name's Scarlett Noel. I got inspired by a TV bumper & made her look like the character I saw. She has no skills nor completed aspiration. Love the way she turned out. Equipped with the "Sweet" female voice. Age: Young Adult. Traits: Creative / Romantic / Family-Oriented. Aspiration: Serial Romantic.

 Please don't reupload her as yours, enjoy her!

Until next time, Joanne AKA mikrolactaki3

9 years of simming. An update

On July 22nd I officially got my first copy of The Sims 3. This indicated I started playing The Sims. For the first time ever. Before that, I spent some time simming on my cousin's computer. Now he's 20 & the computer has broken down. I started off with the Sims 2 on his computer. Make some families, move them in & build them a house. I was a newb back then at building houses. I only bought them some objects on an empty lot. I'm doing this update earlier because on the 22nd & 23rd of July I'll be on hiatus.

Some months later I played Sims 2 Life/Pet Stories on an internet cafe. This got me so hooked I'd buy Sims 2. Sims 3 was available for purchase. Waited a few weeks & my mom bought me World Adventures. Then Ambitions. Then Fast Lane Stuff. So on til Into the Future. I did this job with my parents.

When I first played the game I got in touch with a new world. Sunset Valley. It was quite a lovely world for me & the families I liked making. Starting off with 7 to 8 Sims! In a small house... I left them all unemployed. Didn't know the meaning of cheats, but found a helpful YouTube video about cheats & how to activate. This also led me to using the "help" cheat code. How it started with testingcheatsenabled true - it's the only cheat code I love using, as well as motherlode. Also freerealestate, for Sims that are broke & can afford WHATEVER house they want.

Cheats helped me discover new ways of gameplay. Like, set whatever career level I want on Sims, summon NPC's & many more. Mostly teleportation. How to teleport your Sims from one location to another. Also new ways of decorating with the buydebug cheat. You unlock seed/gem spawners, hidden objects, unlockables etc. Most of all, kill my Sims. That was a fun moment because I belonged to THAT kind of players. When you were bored, you had the alternative to either exit or kill a Sim. I did both but most of all kill them. Don't judge it, I wanted to get rid of them LOL

Until one day when I found out my computer got a virus from too much CC off the Exchange. Started a new game, changed a lot of OS's & even cried over my game. Never mind, I was young. My creativity was unleashed from 9 years old. Didn't re-upload other's work, even houses. But made mistakes & uploaded accidentally some pre-mades from EA. Nobody judged. As time went by I became more & more creative. Even without CC but store content.

In 2014 I got so much bored of my game I'd focus on Stardoll. But installed The Sims 4 Create a Sim demo. THIS was the period when I got so creative.

2015 give up The Sims 4. Play Sims 3. Creativity vol. 1. I was 14. 2016 more Sims 3. Creativity vol. 2. I was 15. From January til December 2016. 2017 more Sims 3 until May 10th. My computer ran into a BSOD & posted on some Microsoft forums. Played on a 32-bit OS. Crashes. Someone was demonizing my account on the Forums of The Sims. Read them. Bought a faster laptop & PC. Both 8GB. My game ran fast. The PC was bought in 2018.

From November 2017 to September 2018 MORE creativity was unleashed. Also bought The Sims 4. In The Sims 4 I made my OWN things till now. I don't steal just show off originality. Integrity. Honesty. I don't pretend I'm some kind of EA Game Changer or something, like the ones who deserve so many fav's & DL's. I read descriptions first, then support other players. I am kind. Pretending & reuploading is for the kids. 12 year olds or above or below.

If it's for something I have to combine or fix then I reupload. First state this on the description. Then answer to positive comments. If anyone steals my work I warn them strictly & politely not attack them. I'm an adult almost & I have common sense.

Now I'm currently working on Sims 4 but I unleash my creativity on Sims 3, too! All of my creations are 100% mine. I don't steal from others nor their ideas!

Thank you for understanding!

Earthy Mid-century (basegame)

My blog has been inactive, I apologize for this. I'm back with a new basegame house. Easy design & decoration. Also easy to test in game. I was somehow inspired by an old design & based on it. However, I liked the way it turned out.

It's called Earthy Mid-Century. I used only base game. NO other packs. (even the holiday celebration which is a free pack) Also didn't use CHEATS. Like the bb.moveobjects on one. Overall it doesn't need cheats at all (if I used greenery I'd advise the players to activate bb.moveobjects on) but it has no greenery.

Medium-sized, modern basegame house inspired by mid-century architecture. Uses the "Dusty Turf" lot in Oasis Springs. In color schemes of beige & tiny bit of brown & white. Naturally lit corners, spacious interior. Conventional kitchen & dining room, small living room. One bedroom & bathroom, individual office. Small patio in entrance. Budget house for sims with a medium income. (about 50k Simoleons)

In game the price ranges to 48,555 Simoleons.

Lot traits are Natural Light / Convivial / Fast Internet.

Please do not reupload as yours.

Greyscale Tudor

I'm back here with another house build! It was easy to design but a little hard to decorate in the living room area. Though I liked the way it turned out!

A NO-CC, No-MOO, small, simple, rustic starter house based on tudor style. In color schemes of grey & tiny bit of black, this adorable property is perfect for one Sim who wants to enjoy solitude or be close to nature. Small, conventional kitchen, dining room & living room all in one room. It can be a little haunted... watch out!

Also spacious bedroom, small bathroom & patio garden. On a 30x20 it has a larger backyard. Same for larger lots like 40x30 etc. I don't know if it fits for 20x20 or 20x15. It's a perfect bachelor pad (that indicates why I used one chair at the dining table).

DO NOT activate bb.moveobjects on before placement. Also DO NOT reupload as yours, no matter how easy the design was. Please respect my work - thank you!

Enjoy.

Screenshots:

This top down view is with the double bed. Later changed it to a single bed because it turned out cheaper so that I'd make it a perfect bachelor pad. I apologize for that!

Lot I built is the "Hindquarter Hideaway" in Brindleton Bay. A world equipped with The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs.  

House includes only 2 packs; Get Together, Cats & Dogs. Of course Base game.

Price in game: 19,629 Simoleons.

Thanks for reading.

The Hairston (& Bonus Sim!)

1st off, I apologize for my inactivity. There have been a lot in my life which keep me busy. Today I reached 200 followers on my gallery page. I really appreciate your support dear friends! I will be patient for more so... here's a bonus house in terms of celebrating my 200 Llama milestone. I called it "The Hairston". It was named after a Sim I shared on the gallery, an evil scientist named Eric Hairston. It's just a simple trailer which ranges about 29k simoleons.

House's description: Do you know where this NO-CC, no-MOO, small, simple,bright, modern house got its name from? Eric Hairston, an evil scientist (he's available on my catalog) with a bright mind but one flaw; he's a loner! Its spacious backyard makes perfect for a walk or a glass of cold water, as well as a science lair for your aspiring scientists. Parties? NO! Limit yourself to a few guests or stay on your own. Natural light as well. One bedroom, one bathroom & spacious backyard.  

Screenshots: 

House uses the Get to Work pack & base game.

Sim's description: Eric doesn't like being surrounded by people. He rarely hangs out or can be spotted in town. His science career has made him quite an introvert, almost unable to interact with his friends, because he's focused on work & experiments. He lives in his little spacious house, on his own, enjoying solitude in his mini lab.

Eric possesses the Evil, Genius & Loner traits. His aspiration is "Nerd Brain". He is a level 9 Scientist (Mad Scientist), skilled & equipped with the "Warm" male voice. Adult.

Screenshots:

Sim uses Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Holiday Celebration Pack & Get to Work.

Please enjoy BOTH creations, the house & the Sim. 100% made by me Joanne aka mikrolactaki3. Do not reupload them as yours. Even modified.
