Its been so long since I posted on here!! I've decided to move my blog across to word press because so many people have recommended it to me! Right now I am still working on it but I hope to have it up and running properly before next weekend. I am going to post various bits and pieces on it so keep an eye out for new updates! The Dawes Legacy will also be moving over there. I am planning some more updates to it but it is taking me a while to get up to speed with where the story had got to so I can start writing it properly again!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway...here is the link to the new blog: <a href="http://duckeggpie.wordpress.com/">http://duckeggpie.wordpress.com/</a> Hope I will see some of you around on it!</span><br />

He is a computer whiz, genius, un-flirty, loner and a looser. On the plus side he is good at logic, very handy and a decent cook. He is also a complete mummy's boy. He wants to be a creature-robot cross breeder but he just doesn't seem to be able to get promoted as he spends too much time on the computer to be able to develop the skills he needs (sometimes he even skips work to spend whole days playing computer games).</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S8hkL9WcfpI/AAAAAAAAAxM/IKPT0pjQJj4/s1600/Screenshot-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S8hkL9WcfpI/AAAAAAAAAxM/IKPT0pjQJj4/s320/Screenshot-9.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is Garth's mother Edna. Her husband was killed in a fire when Garth was a baby and since then she has never been quite 'right'. She used to be the most popular woman in town thanks to her friendly nature and her excellent cooking and gardening skills but since the fire she has been acting strangely and her 'friends' have slowly deserted her. She is neat, easily impressed, family orientated, technophobic and (you guessed it) Insane. She dreamed of having loads of children but since the fire her wish has not been possible.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S8hkSEBLaHI/AAAAAAAAAxU/v_H7-OTj5Yg/s1600/Screenshot-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S8hkSEBLaHI/AAAAAAAAAxU/v_H7-OTj5Yg/s320/Screenshot-10.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So there you have the Lewis family. They live at 55 Water Lily Lane in Sunset Valley.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S8hkVoASJVI/AAAAAAAAAxc/r24PIDTZ7mY/s1600/Screenshot-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S8hkVoASJVI/AAAAAAAAAxc/r24PIDTZ7mY/s320/Screenshot-7.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garth isn't exactly what most of the women in SS Valley would think of as an ideal husband. He still lives with his mother, he isn't successful and he loves his computer more than he should. He isn't exactly the romantic type and tends to avoid talking to people (unless he can do it online). Despite this, he feels bad that his mother had to give up her dream of a large family and wants to make it up to her.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Now for the challenge:</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><ul><li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fulfil Garth's Lifetime wish (level 9 in the Science career) before Edna dies.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Find Garth a woman.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Get Garth married.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garth must have at least 3 children before Edna dies.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have Garth complete all the upgrades he has started around the house.</span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Limitations:</span></b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garth can only use the business as usual or relax in specimen closet options while at work.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garth can only meet his future bride on the internet and must be at least Good Friends with her before meeting face-to-face for the first time. She must also be single as Garth isn't the kind of man who would break up a relationship.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garth must be married before his first child is conceived as his mother is very traditional and would not approve of a grandchild being conceived outside of marriage.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The children do not have to be single births, you can have twins/triplets if you want. They must all be blood relatives of Garth (adopted children or his wife's existing children do not count although they are allowed as well as the other children)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garth must spend at least 4 hours a day playing computer or video games.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garth can earn extra money by hacking or solving the unsolvable.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garth cannot gain more than 1 skill point per day as the amount of time he spends on the computer make it impossible for him to learn anything quickly.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The family must stay living in the same house. You may extend it but it must be decorated in a similar style as the existing house.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Edna must stay living with Garth until she dies.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once Edna had died the challenge is over.</span></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Other Rules:</span></b></span></div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No life fruits/death flowers.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can play on any life length you like, I have played on normal (90 days) but please have ageing turned on!</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you use hacks, cheats or play on a longer life expectancy please say that you have! (There is nothing wrong with it.)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Feel free to recreate the family if you want. If you do so bear in mind that you will loose the skills I have given them for the start which will probably make it more difficult to complete the challenge.</span></li>
</ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please give me some feedback on this. Was it too easy or too hard? Were there too many goals and limitations? What could I do to make it more fun to play? Thanks :D</span></div>duckeggpiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08212740430321719529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350519240474355470.post-90631045742838019152010-06-28T21:06:00.000+01:002010-06-28T21:06:31.418+01:00More Figg Family Pics!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just found some more screens of the Figg family while looking through my screens :D</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorry they aren't in any specific order really and that there is no story...they are pretty self explanatory though :D I just thought I would post them quickly as I found them :)</span><br />

I will try to get some more of the story written up and posted ASAP!!</span></div>duckeggpiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08212740430321719529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350519240474355470.post-87409852807922401932010-02-24T20:33:00.000+00:002010-02-24T20:33:33.081+00:00I am still here!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am still alive and Simming.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been really busy since I started back at University at the beginning of the month and just haven't had time to play Sims!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the time I have had free for gaming I have been playing with the Create-A-World tool and I'm getting towards finishing my first town!! I am posting pictures of it on my Sims Resource account (<a href="http://www.thesimsresource.com/members/duckeggpie/screenshots/browse/">My Screen Shots</a>) and I will either make it available for download through this blog or on the Sims 3 exchange (Sims Resource doesn't accept custom worlds yet!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hopefully I will have some more time to play with the Figgs soon and then I can get some more posts up. I have a couple of posts worth of screen shots which I took a while ago and I will write them up when I have some free time!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you visit this blog, please leave me a comment here, on my Sims Resource guest book or on Twitter (links at top of page)...it would be interesting to know who is visiting me! :)</span><br />

I have just been a bit too busy to play Sims and blog this week!! Have some screen shots taken which I am just about to write up into a couple of posts. I may be having a little break from the Figg family soon as I have just created a new sim. I will introduce her in a few days :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well...the money has been saved, the extension has been built and Arabella and James are expecting their next child!!! Of course, nothing will stop Arabella from getting on with her gardening. Fresh air is meant to be good for you!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvb7Uun1I/AAAAAAAAAec/sCjJ_Vqo1Wo/s1600-h/Screenshot-32.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvb7Uun1I/AAAAAAAAAec/sCjJ_Vqo1Wo/s320/Screenshot-32.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvf9HX1jI/AAAAAAAAAek/_W4cWpQCUuo/s1600-h/Screenshot-33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvf9HX1jI/AAAAAAAAAek/_W4cWpQCUuo/s320/Screenshot-33.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also she has to find some way to work off all the calories from eating all the grilled cheese she has been craving.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvpemx1OI/AAAAAAAAAe0/JYTr74xJAmo/s1600-h/Screenshot-35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvpemx1OI/AAAAAAAAAe0/JYTr74xJAmo/s320/Screenshot-35.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Despite being banned from practising martial arts by the game, she is still managing to exercise regularly.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvjUsjnBI/AAAAAAAAAes/ujT-U3ojTTA/s1600-h/Screenshot-34.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvjUsjnBI/AAAAAAAAAes/ujT-U3ojTTA/s320/Screenshot-34.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Which is a very good thing given the amount of grilled cheese she is eating (seriously...if this was Sims 2 she would have developed the Grilled Cheese aspiration by now)<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvvDPqSrI/AAAAAAAAAe8/W4juPdzHmNs/s1600-h/Screenshot-36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vvvDPqSrI/AAAAAAAAAe8/W4juPdzHmNs/s320/Screenshot-36.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Even after all the gardening, eating, exercising and eating she still has time to relax and enjoy her pregnancy. All that is left to do now is wait and see what comes out (boy/girl/llama) and how many there are.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vgNrdrqrI/AAAAAAAAAcs/WdJjG2qXwx8/s1600-h/Screenshot-14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vgNrdrqrI/AAAAAAAAAcs/WdJjG2qXwx8/s320/Screenshot-14.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems that Lola has found her first love interest...Bob Newbie (Not the fat, bald Sims 1 Bob, the new teenage Sims 3 Bob!) Awwww....aren't they sweet. Unfortunately for Lola Bob already has a girlfriend :( Even worse, she is one of Lola's best friends, Anita.</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vgwsaBZ7I/AAAAAAAAAc0/LRXGXP1P3aA/s1600-h/Screenshot-15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vgwsaBZ7I/AAAAAAAAAc0/LRXGXP1P3aA/s320/Screenshot-15.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Luckily Lola and Bob both manage to forget this for long enough to share their first kiss...</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vhJzYz4DI/AAAAAAAAAc8/uJoP-fQjj38/s1600-h/Screenshot-17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vhJzYz4DI/AAAAAAAAAc8/uJoP-fQjj38/s320/Screenshot-17.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to the wonderful open neighbourhood design of Sims 3 and the fact that I have ageing and story progression on, the next time Bob is invited over he has aged up and is a young adult which has currently ended his and Lola's romantic relationship. We will just have to hope that Lola ages up soon enough to get together with Bob again before he decides to marry Anita!! Until then Lola is working on staying as friendly with Bob as she can.</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0viQsZFRTI/AAAAAAAAAdE/EuxrmZSMs3A/s1600-h/Screenshot-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0viQsZFRTI/AAAAAAAAAdE/EuxrmZSMs3A/s320/Screenshot-18.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elsewhere in the Figg household, Arabella has taken up martial arts after being persuaded into it by James.</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vioFcpzYI/AAAAAAAAAdM/eueqrNyZE4I/s1600-h/Screenshot-20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vioFcpzYI/AAAAAAAAAdM/eueqrNyZE4I/s320/Screenshot-20.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She has got quite good at it as you can see. Maybe her and James will go to China together for the contest.</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vjK584lZI/AAAAAAAAAdU/iIfUy4aELyA/s1600-h/Screenshot-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0vjK584lZI/AAAAAAAAAdU/iIfUy4aELyA/s320/Screenshot-2.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She has also managed to grow fish on her new Omni plant (the fish which were fed to it were caught by James who has now taken up fishing). I laughed for ages after taking this screen shot, it looks so strange.</span><br />

They are Arabella and James and their teenage daughter Lola. They live in Riverview in a newly built two bedroom house with a lovely view of the river.</span><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0t2eymlxqI/AAAAAAAAAcU/3O-5U2Bsz04/s1600-h/Screenshot-4+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0t2eymlxqI/AAAAAAAAAcU/3O-5U2Bsz04/s320/Screenshot-4+(2).jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">First we have Arabella Figg. She is a young adult and wants to grow a perfect garden (so far she has 2 out of 8 plants at a perfect standard). She doesn't have a job and spends most of her time in the garden or upgrading objects around the house. She is also a keen cook! Her traits are: Green thumb, vegetarian, loves outdoors, natural cook and bookworm. She would like to have more children soon but her and James are saving up the money to build and extension for the extra bedroom.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0t5ApOVMBI/AAAAAAAAAcc/Jh3Kp2GWdoY/s1600-h/Screenshot-2+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0t5ApOVMBI/AAAAAAAAAcc/Jh3Kp2GWdoY/s320/Screenshot-2+(2).jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next we have James, Arabella's husband. He is also a young adult and has completed his lifetime wish by becoming a superstar athlete. He works 4 days a week and has two football games as well. He likes helping Arabella with her gardening (especially the weeding), cooking and developing his martial arts skill. His traits are: Neat, vegetarian, athletic, ambitious and lucky. He is hoping to travel to China soon to take part in a martial arts contest.</div><div><br />
</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0t5J0u_SUI/AAAAAAAAAck/3VliTO8Cpiw/s1600-h/Screenshot+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UXJLtvX0zt4/S0t5J0u_SUI/AAAAAAAAAck/3VliTO8Cpiw/s320/Screenshot+(2).jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: right;">Finally we have Arabella and James's teenage daughter Lola. She was only a child when they first moved to Riverview but settled in well at school (she even got on the Honour Roll) and made lots of friends. She is very artistic and spends most of her free time painting, writing books or taking photographs. She has already mastered the painting and writing skills and is well on her way to mastering photography. Her lifetime wish is to have a world class photo gallery (have a collection of photographs worth <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;">ยง25,000 with at least 10 from each of the 3 holiday destinations). Her traits so far are: Photographer's eye, vegetarian, artistic and perfectionist.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;"><br />

Hope you have enjoyed meeting them! I will be posting further updates and screen shots as I play with them more. Please feel free to leave comments on them.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px;"><br />
