Hi, I'm Kate, and this is my TS3 corner!

[Piñacolada]

Aww baby Alex is a cutie! Good luck with him Kate!!

I never noticed the light thing before on babies faces... I'll have to look out for it now.

[Kate]

Thanks Katie Alex does get cuter, hehe!

[Shell]

aww....so cute, even with a blank stare LOL and ditto Colada, no i haven't seen the strip either, will have to look closer next time, you have me curious.

[Kate]

Thanks Shell! Here are some moar piccies



Luke has to "sing for his supper" an awful lot... hehe just kidding! He's taken to busking now that the family have an extra mouth to feed - they need all the money they can get!

Baby Alex meanwhile...



...has grown into Toddler Alex (after one heck of a riot looking after him as a baby... I tore so much of my hair out I'm surprised I have a fair bit left!)!!

Alex: I can see the ends of my hair. It's... distracting.

Now, prepare yourselves for some Alex spam!!!











I am in love



My selfie teaches Alex how to talk, although her choice in words leave a little bit to be desired

[Dizzy]

awww.. your family is so cute!

And I have noticed the white stripe on the baby's faces.. it's odd, but I was a little happy to see it in other's games so it isn't just me :/

And yeah the teach to talk topics are a little .. odd o.O

[Piñacolada]

Awww Alex is adorable with all that blonde hair!!

Your selfie needs to learnt that talking bout teddy bears might be a nicer topic than death

[Kate]

As much as I'd like to, I can't explain my Selfie's choice of words, seeing as she's not an inappropriate Sim...



Speaking of my Selfie, she seems to have caught that nasty bug that's going around... y'know, that bug? The really nasty one...? *coughs*



In her spare time, she likes to pick apples. It's one of the only things she can pick, seeing as her Gardening skill is so low.



I forgot to say, I moved them into a new house on the beach (after A LOT of trouble), and this is the new view from their back garden



Uh, Luke, you could pay attention to Alex y'know. Instead of letting him have a tantrum.



...But you see, Luke would much rather be playing video games! Complete with a smile on his face, aww.



My Selfie is still pulling amusing faces!



Alex: Immagonnaeatchuuuuuu!!!



Oh, where did that bump come from??!

Am sad to see that this time there are no sheep on my Selfie's maternity wear

That's all for now!

[Kae]

I think little Alex is taking his anger from being ignored out on his poor toy rabbit...
And those sheep maternity clothes were so cute, Kate! Too bad you didn't get them again.
This time, could you show us the baby and labor in the same chapter? Kaythanks.

[Piñacolada]

Ooo beach-house! Me like... and I like your jigsaw floor in Alex's bedroom too!
Boooo to no sheep maternity wear! But hoping to see the new baby soon!

[Dizzy]

Awww... another kiddy on the way!!

The picture of Luke playing vid games is really cute. Also liek the one of him posing for the picture and Alex throwing a fit... so like a child that is not happy.

[Kate]

Just some new pictures I haven't posted yet. Haven't played with my selfie for a while, so these are quite old!

My selfie decides to go into labour in the front garden. She goes off to the hospital whilst Luke stays behind to look after Alex.



She comes back later with a picnic basket! I didn’t know we were going to have a picnic!



My selfie had two girls. First up, meet Elizabeth...



...followed by Gemma!



Now outnumbered, Luke and Alex decide that they need to congregate in order to survive being the only males in the house.

Actually, let me rephrase that.
Instead of meeting the two new additions, Luke plays video games whilst Alex amuses himself by Luke's feet.
Men/boys.



Even though there are two new babies in the house, Alex maintains his position as cutest child of the household ;D

That's all for now!

[Kate]

Thought I'd follow in Dizzy's footsteps and post some images from my game as I explored the new features of Ambitions. I am really enjoying it so far, the professions are very challenging and have managed to hold my interest well!



I created a new Simmie, Allegra, and moved her into one of the swampy shacks in Twinbrook. Despite being so small, I quite like the swampy shacks, there is something endearing about them.



Since Allegra is an Eco-Friendly Sim, she dislikes riding around town in a taxi alone...I soon learned this after seeing her mood plunge. hehe



I found this guy roaming around town...well, actually Allegra had gone to a game at the stadium and as I waited for her to finish, he appeared. I like his tattoo - he has managed to coordinate it with his hair



More Eco-Friendly fun! When selecting what she wants to eat, the options are "Organic". Yay!



Organic Mac & Cheese looks identical to regular Mac & Cheese, yay!

The next morning I enter her into the Architectural Designer profession. It sounds like fun, and making over the rooms in the houses of other Simmies is a way of improving EAxis decorating



Before she heads to work, she puts some of her dirty clothing in the washing machine! When a Simmie has dirty clothes, a pile of clothing appears on the floor. Then you can just click it and select the option to put it on to wash. I've heard you can do this with bedding as well, but since I haven't done this myself I don't know whether it's true or not



The house of her first client is very nice. Don't think I'll be doing anything to the outside of that house



EAxis have - for some reason - found it imperative to create emo hair and throw it in game...poor guy, how is he supposed to look around and see the world for what it is?

Perhaps he should have the trait Accident Prone with hair like that, seeing as he won't be able to see where he's going...



Allegra heads inside to meet her client for the first time - Robert somebody, I can't remember his last name.

Guess he's thinking about the great job she's going to do on his bathroom (yeah, right!).



Hanging out the washing is hard work, eh Allegra?



A few days later she finishes work on Robert's bathroom (no pics, sorry). She converses with him to find out what he thinks...here he looks less than impressed.

Well, a "good" rating and a few measly Simoleons is better than nothing I guess.



This is the house of her next client...blimey, some of these Twinbrook Sims are living it large! Surely these people can afford to pay Allegra more than 136 Simoleons?



To try and improve her next rating, I stick Allegra on the drawing board and get her sketching some concept art. In this picture you can just about see a vase with some flowers forming.

Shall be adding more soon hopefully. Would have had more but unfortunately my game froze while playing...I have too much clutter in my downloads, need to remove some.

[Dizzy]

The first guy who's bathroom you made over was Robert Castor I know this cause he was the second client for my sim to give a new look to.

I think when you do laundry it just automatically washes clothes and sheets. When I had my sim do laundry there was no way to choose bedding or clothes, but she's gotten both good moodlets for wearing clean clothes and sleeping in clean sheets.

*cough* are you by chance using new replacement skins? Or at least the face it looks different.

Oh and along those lines.. have you found that with this new ep with tan to dark skin tones it's really showing the separation line between the face and the body on the neck? I didn't see them showing up as obviously as they are now :/

[Kate]

Ahhhhhh Robert Castor! The teenage boy with that mop of emo hair was his son, his name was Jeffrey Castor. If I make a stylist sim I will have to seek him out and get rid of that hair!!

Thanks for that note about the laundry, I was lurking on MTS and people were talking about being able to wash bedding. I must be unobservant as I've noticed a positive moodlet for wearing clean clothes but definitely haven't noticed one for sleeping in clean sheets.

I'm still using the same Peggy faces I've always used, the only thing I have changed recently is my eye default. Although that shouldn't make much difference...

I haven't noticed the separation thing yet as I haven't really had much of a chance to play...I am using a mismatch, Peggy faces and then Aikea bodies, so I'd expect a line to appear. Will keep an eye out for that though, if I start to notice that badly then I can see I might be removing my default skins/faces.

[Piñacolada]

Okies I need to treat myself to this EP after I've written my reports this year...

Loving the emo hair lol

[Kate]

Well, I guess I won't be adding more photos here as I just went in game to find that Allegra doesn't exist any more >_> Clearly I didn't save her game file before my game crashed, argh. I might make another Sim but at the moment I'm itching to play with the Warners so I doubt it's likely. Sorry all!

[Piñacolada]

Ahh boo... RIP Allegra!

[Dizzy]

awww that sucks. But the up side is we get more Warner Family action!

[Angie]

I'm just realizing how much I've missed your stories Kate. Even when you're "just" posting pics, you throw in stories. I love it.

[Ang3l]

WOO HOO!!!! ;D ;D IM IN ARKANSAS or watever im In the united States Yep EEEE Great Story Posting Kate
