Magic Spellbook

This is Awesome. It is a spellbook you can use to cast, well... spells! So far you only have five spells and you can find all the information on those spells here at SimsVIP:

In Game with Lady Ravendancer Goth’s Book o’ Spells

My personal favorite would either be Unleash Animale or Summon Acquaintance. 

A friendly woman under the name of SimGuruPopTart gifted me the item when I posted on the forums, so BIG thanks to her, she also complimented my Tom and Annabelle comics, and that made me feel good inside. :)

In response, I made a new comic with Tom's son and Annabelle's daughter called "Makin' Magic". You can find it here at The Sims 3's Facebook Page or read it below. Click to enlarge:

I love this new item and I hope they add more spells in the future!

Things of Old and New has it's own Facebook page now!

Started by yours truly, ToOaN has it's own network page on Facebook. So now you can go there and... well... do stuff, I dunno. I've never made my own Facebook page before. :/

I will post screenshots from my game and talk about things of old... and new... which would make sense considering the name of the page.

Anyway, here's the link: [Link]

So um... go there and... like if you want to.

An LOL Sim

Coral, you're not going to believe this, but one of the pictures Nick posted on the Sims 3's wall has 641 likes!

Well, not technically because it's an LOL Sim that was selected, but I still made it. One of my favorite internet Memes is the "Leo Strut", which people take a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio walking happily on the set of Inception and put him in the most unusual situations.

 Here is a link to the Know Your Meme page: LINK

Anyway I made one using a screenshot I took from The Sims 3's page, and posted it on the wall. It had about 23 likes when I last checked, but when the thing was selected for the LOL Sims album, it skyrocketed there to about 640 likes in half a week! Kinda makes me feel good!

Here is the Link to the picture on The Sims 3's wall. Enjoy the humor and thanks for the likes!

A Major Idea and a couple things to say:

One, Coral Kethrin, a new alien Sim I created who is a successor to Annabelle Kethrin, is available on the exchange.

Personally I think she's one of the prettiest Sims I've ever made.

Two, I thought I'd share an idea I had regarding a new Expansion Pack.

THIS IS ALL HYPOTHETICAL!!!!

The idea is called the "World of Tomorrow" expansion, and it is basically one I had been thinking of for quite some time. The EP would return the game to Sunset Valley (or it's Sims 2 name Pleasantview) and take place 50 years after the Sims 2, where the town has become a futuristic wonderland filled with Aliens, Servos, and other creatures present in the second game. Some houses would be floating, hovercraft would be prevalent, and the whole thing would be reminiscent of the 2015 era of the Back to the Future films.

Teleporters could return in the same fashion as the ones from The Sims: House Party, you place them in your house and you teleport from one floor to the other, and a new death would be that teleporter field can collapse into itself like a black hole and crush the Sim using it. Technofuturistic stuff would be a common thing in Pleasantview, but some houses would have modern day items for Sims who don't want to live in the world of the future.

New objects would be the aforementioned hovercraft and teleporters, alien ships, house items like floating chairs, beds, holographic computers, rockets that you can jump in and land at a destination, and futuristic stuff like that.

Basically the idea is each house looks like this.

A new career would be "Starship Crewman". When it's time to leave for work, instead of a carpool, a small spaceship lands on the street in front of you. You climb in and it takes off to work, leaving a little beacon on the street that you could click for all the functions of a Rabbit-Hole job in the game (Business, Work Hard, etc).

A new skill would be robotics, you build robots like toy ones at first but as the game goes on you can build Servos (another playable creature), Servo Charging Stations, and the Bots from Open for Business: HydroBot, CleanBot, MunchieBot, and SentryBot with the same functions as in that game. Someone with Ambitions and World of Tomorrow could take SimBots and upgrade them into Servos, or just make them more functional with things like Sunlight Charging and the need to never eat, and even make them waterproof.

Aliens would be different than the ones in TS2, instead of green Sims like Coral there, Aliens could be a different looking species, like reptilians with scaly hair and tails or things of that nature.






Well I shared this idea just to get it out there, who knows if anyone from the game will actually take a gander at it.I know it's a pipe-dream, but if they made a game like this I would buy it INSTANTLY.

Three, I do plan to continue my story I started there, I am just taking a hiatus so I can come up with creative story ideas to take it. I do plan to start working on it within the next few weeks. Also, I plan to do a bit of a review for The Sims 3: Generations and even the other EPs, look for those within the next month.

Imagination

A little video I made in less than thirty minutes using the Sims 3 generations. It tells the story of a young teen, Dean, who has no friends with the exception of Daisy, his imaginary friend. However, as he grows into adolescence, he realizes that Daisy is the only person who was ever really there for him, and he wishes she could be real so they could become maybe something more than friends. With the help of his mother, Dean just may get his wish...
