Me too, but at least she'll be known for backstabbing the backstabber.

So I'm really happy right now. I may be getting a new computer for my birthday! The one thing I need to know is how to transfer my save files to my new computer. Would I copy a save folder and put it on my flash drive? If so, where would I go?

Alright, My new computer is up and running, my save files & sims games all made it in one piece, I'm ready to continue playing. The only problem I'm having is that it's so much harder to save pictures. "Print screen" gives me a black screen instead of the picture I want, so instead I'm having to save my pics via the Sims 3 launcher, and THEN I have to transfer the pictures onto paint & save them in JPEG format. Oh Windows 8, you run so fast, but you're so confusing *~*

Hey everyone! I've recently started a Big Brother style challenge of my own. I'm not really following the rules here - instead I came up with my own schedule and such because it's kind of a unique setup. But I'm blogging it, and so it may be of interest to you anyway. Most of the contestants are Batman characters, and there's a lot more than 8 of them...

Yes, Stephanie's gone. I never liked that backstabber at all.

Well, I'm not going to kick them out one at a time until the household shrinks down some. And since *censored due to Week 1 spoiler* that helped with the numbers. My master plan has it going for 14 weeks, though.

Alright, I finished theater a few days ago, so of course my teachers assign a ridiculous amount of homework & tests. I promise I'll finish the series over spring break.

I actually have a Survivor reality story/challenge going on right now. It's not EXACTLY like this Big Brother challenge, but I think that it follows the basic format.

There it is if you wanna check out my progress on it so far :D

I have a question for you, Gizmo. How do your sims choose answers with gnomes or by turning on the lamp? Obviously then can't do it themselves, with no input from simmer.
Do you decide for them voluntarily? Use the dice? Interpret their movements? I'm honestly curious
Also, can't wait for the grand finale :D

At first the show relied entirely on the Sims ability to get skill points and I would take pictures of what they were doing, then I realized I would eventually run out of skill points, and the show would be much better if I scripted some scenes, so yes, I chose the outcome of the "Where are they now?", "Gnome Sorting", and "Opinion Statements" competitions, but I tried to keep in mind how each contestant would answer based on their knowledge of everything in the house, and I created some of the scenes in the show (i.e. Stephanie's hair being dyed blue, Ling Ling getting an alien snowman, Mrs. Crumplebottom's torture cell, etc.). I will tell you that I did see who the houseguests had better relationships with for evictions, and that is how the jury will be voting.

Wooo! Great job at the whole Big Brother challenge Gizmo. I really enjoyed reading it.
I still wished Randy won though.

I never knew challenges existed... but now that I do, I think I'm obsessed. I love love love this challenge, and have already started with it. It is just so much fun to watch them do whatever.. I named one of the characters after me, hoping that she'll beat the others, but so far.. it looks like she'll be the first one out. O.o Quite sad.. but anywho, thank for this!!

I've always had the worst luck with any 'special to me' Sims I put into this kind of challenge. I put my self-Sim into one back in the Sims 2, and she died from starving to death after falling asleep in her food literally all day. She was out on the porch, and it was summer, so she got a sunburn, and she was in her underwear. All in all, perhaps the most pathetic way a Sim could go.

And in the current one I'm doing, I actually had six Sims based on characters of mine in the house, but four of them *spoilers* during Week 1. Of the other two, one lasted until Week 7, and the other got voted out during Week 9. x.x

Sorry to hear you have bad luck with sims close to you. Here, play this game to cheer you up:
