I wasn't going to get the game yet.. I can't afford it, but found I needed something to take my mine of real life yesterday morning and went out and charged it. Here are some shots from a family I made. Meet the Palmers, Ash and Cora. This is a bit later at the birth of their first child... aww I thought it was really funny that after years of home births, the sims now have to go to the hospital. I am assuming that's how it always happens as the couple were at home when she went into labor and then a taxi automatically showed up to take them to the hospital. Ash is loves family and really takes to being a father. This is their new born son Hugo. (sorry for the large pictures I don't have photo shop to make them smaller any more with my MAC out of commission at the mo. And now like Kate's post... I am off to go back and explore the TS3 world

Awww Diz, we have all succumbed to the temptation that is TS3 hehehehe!! Ash and Cora's house is so green! Not that it's a bad thing though, I love green! Ash looks like he's got some serious tanning problems, seeing as his armpits are dark brown whilst his arms are a nice colour Cora's face in the birth picture is so cute! I keep using the word cute, to anyone who keeps reading my posts I apologise for my over-use of the word 'cute'.I bet Hugo will be very handsome when he's older, seeing as his mummy and daddy are pretty beautiful too!

lol.. yeah kate I have noticed his darker arm pits too o.O I think they might want it to be like armpit hair. The house is very green cause it's Ash's fav color, but they have been making mroe money and Cora is redecorating to incorporate her fav color (lilac) and some neutrals too

I have more pictures! Hugo looked too cute eating I had to take a snap. and learning to walk was soo cute also! My couple had a second boy.. Colton Hugo is turning into a cute kid.. this was on his birthday, but he was a little grummpy cause it was past his bedtime. And he didn't get any happier when a few hours after going to bed his little brother (whom he has to share a room with) woke him up screaming. *sighs* So far this family is mimicing the first family i played in sims 2.. right down to the first borns being taken away by the social services lady :/ While at school.. Hugo's social bar plumetted... and as soon as he got home a social care lady took him and little Colton away.. there was no way to stop it from happening either. My poor sims are so sad! They are expecting another child though, and keep calling every day to adopt thiers back. (I am crossing my fingers that it's like TS2 and the first kids given out for adoption are the ones that were taken away. so sad... every now and then Cora grabs yer heart and cries for her lost babies. Ash has aged up to adult.. yuck.. he is not so cute any more.. he grew some lines in his face and his cheeks are not so full any more. One last one... keke... I just get a kick out of the labor faces!

BTW, sims don't HAVE to go to hospital to have the baby, but free will says that the mother wants to. If you cancel the "Have baby in hospital" action, she'll have it at home.

OMG..." so sad... every now and then Cora grabs yer heart and cries for her lost babies." that is SO sad! Cute actions though, its nice to see sims 3 sims miss their kids more then sims 2 sims who just got bad memory.
LMAO i love the labor faces! They are classic!

I ditto this I think adult Ash is quite handsome with his sharp cheek bones... but then again I have a thing for cheek bones and jaw lines, hehe. Also, I have just noticed, EAxis sure put some detail into their teeth this time round!

I am hopelessly addicted to sims 3 at the moment I can't stop playing and I find I have fallen in love with my first family more than I ever did with any of my sims in the sims 2. (I never played sims one... so donno if it would have been the same from sims 1 to sims 2.) I think it might be one that they have a linger life as you play through young adult and adult ages before you even reach elder ages. It always bugged me that in sims 2 YA was purely for uni.. cause in RL you get out of UNI and you are *still* a young adult. Anyways.. and two because they actually have individual personalities! Sure in sims 2 they were different and had little quirks.. but i didn't notice it that much.. their weren't things that endeared them to me like they do in sims 3 Anyways.... this was a very long and round about way of saying... I HAVE MORE PICTURES! Cora and Ash were finally able to adopt a child... but I didn't get my hope and they didn't get one of their kids back. The first meeting with young Harry didn't go so well, I think it's because Cora let show too much her disapointment that they couldn't adopt back Hugo And apparently kids are way more discusted?/ terrified? by child birth in this game compared to the other... Harry kept screaming like a girl and covering his face. FINALLY! A little girl.. that's what Cora has wanted since the first pregnancy. *phew* she can stop having kids... it's going to be hard enough as it is. Especially now that Cora has passed her young adult days, she just doesn't have the same amount of energy to keep up with the little tykes any longer. This is little Lola Palmer who was fallowed a few minutes later with a twin sister Ester O.O If I keep up at this rate.. my picture thread will be turned to a slight story thread and have to be moved again I just can't stop playing this family though.. hope you don't mind

yeah the babies are odd.. and it bugs me that they are little inchworms wrapped in the blankets. I can't stop playing! each time I go to take a break I turn the game back on like 5 mins later! lol... probably because it loads so fast i don't get frustrated and forget about it. Anyways.. had to take a break from the Palmers cause of all the kids O.O So I started a new family... the Summers. They bought a nice plot of land near the beach and built a great house... lots of windows to take advantage of the great vistas. The guy went out right away and started fishing... While he was at that I started looking around and all the details! and couldn't stop snapping some pictures. There are flat people floating above the city n the hot air balloon... they were creepy.. no matter which way you turned they were looking at you O.O This one I thought was cool cause there is even a plane in the sky with exhaust lines behind it... very cool. O.O There are sharks in the water! as a side note.. the water looks amazing! there also happens to be clownfish in the sea o.O

Awwwww that first ever picture of Lola is cute, and although the babies are freaky looking, her face is what I can only describe as: ^_^
LOL at that picture of the clown fish - EAxis took that joke a step too far perhaps?

sooo.. Cora was given a job to do a painting for someone and when she went to the house to deliver it guess who answered the door?!?! TEEN HUGO PALMER! Apparently that is why he couldn't be adopted.. the social worker ( = stupid game) already placed him with a family. But is was a happy little reunion and now they talk on the phone every night. When the other kids were taken Cora was preggers with another child... which she has long since had.. this is Jasper He's aborable and looks pretty much like his big brother Hugo only he had red hair like Cora. (Hugo had brown like his dad.) And some how Jasper got brown eyes o.O Odd because Cora has green, and Ash's are blue. This was him at his birthday.. so far he's an artistic, absentminded party animal o.O We'll see how that goes as he gets older. The twins have also aged up.. Lola Ester they are pretty much idenical except Lola got green eyes and Ester got blue. lol.. I had to get a picture of this, while cooking Cora often thinking about other things and she gets this funny look on her face. And i have tried my hand at a selfie sim Her profile matches more than the head on though :/ And she found a cute little bungalow across the street from the beach Haven't really played her yet.. we'll see how that goes... she is a little complex personality. o.O

Hehehe awww your selfie is lovely Can't believe the social worker gave Hugo away to another family - pffftt!! Guess that's how the game rolls now, a bit annoying when we were all used to being able to get them back easily. Reflective of real life a little bit more now That picture of Cora looking at Jasper is so sweet - his eyes are like this: hehehehe
