Phil Writes About The Sims: Claws to Riches Part #01

By -
A year or so ago, I found the "The Claaaaaaaw" machine in The Sim 3 and thought it was a pretty cool item. Basically, it is like the claw machine games at arcades where you make the claw try to grab different prizes. The only differences with this machine on the game is that you almost always win, and the prizes it gives out can sometimes be worth thousands of dollars.

Which leads me to my questions: How fast can you make a decent sized house with just using the claw machine to make money?

To answer this question, I set up a game with some rules below:

Rules:
  1. Move into empty lot
  2. Place only a "The Claaaaaaw" machine on lot.
  3. Use :familyfund x 0" to set money back to $0.
  4. Grab prizes from claw machine to build a house.
Now that we know the rules I set, let's meet the sim.

My sim:
Name: Philip Blog
Traits: Loner, Loves the Outdoors, Night Owl, Vehicle Enthusiast, and Lucky.


I moved to an empty lot and put on a claw machine on the lot. Then, I set my money to zero, and I was on my way!
 On my first day, I was lucky and ended up getting enough money to build a small house with everything I need in it to start out.
My basic daily routine is; get up, have breakfast, use the restroom/shower, use the claw machine until I am hungry, have lunch, use the claw machine until I'm tired, and then go to bed. Repeat :)

In just another day, I was able to add some additional rooms to my little house to create a bedroom and bathroom.

The next day, the living room was added and the home really started to take shape.
The fourth day saw the garage constructed, and my future cars will have a place to stay!

After just four days, my house has come to this:
It is now a comfortable living area. Next time, I want to expand on this house and make it actually look like a house, maybe.


Thank you,
Philip

What to expect at a RunDisney Princess Half Marathon

By Anonymous -

Our first Disney run was this past February 2015, and we were in no way properly prepared so here is what to expect.  RunDisney Expo:   The expo was a little overwhelming but definitely worth it. There is a lot to look at and free items, so take your time! We were too excited and wanted to get into the parks as soon as we could, but my next race we will be there longer. They had everything from a runners pouch for your phone, keys, etc.to the RunDisney signature shoes!   Before the Expo you go to pick up your race bib , t shirt, and a small bag of goodies. BE WARNED! If you are going with a male, the t shirts may be a not so manly color, and he might be upset. But you'll understand because he is doing a princess themed race with you.    Morning of the race: STRETCH! I bet your saying "Duh, you are doing a half marathon" but seriously stretch every little bit of your beautiful body. If your thinking "I don't need to stretch my wr...

Here  is a link to the list of all Lifetime Wishes For this Lifetime wish, a sim needs to gets to level ten of the Police career path (Forensics Branch). Carl Smith decided to set out on this journey. Once he got a job at the Police Station, he set off on a quest to get in shape. Working out in front of an old TV can only get you so far, though.  After working this way up the ranks, Carl found he needed more skills like painting, logic, and writing reports. He managed to scrap enough funds together to purchase an easel. This led to selling painting to buy a chessboard and a computer.  Years of grinding away at these skills finally resulted in Carl reaching his goal of Dynamic DNA Profiler!
