Diamond Key: World In Progress
Diamond Key is more than halfway finished now. Updates have been made to three of the main parts of the town. Have a look!
Town Square
The subway alights your sim right into the middle of Town Square.
Enjoy family-friendly activities in Town Square, the heart of Diamond Key!
Roller skating is a convenient and entertaining pastime in Town Square.
Town Square is surrounded by seven essential business places (rabbit holes). Going from one to the other is easy; just a walk in the park!
Eat at the Bistro where you can gaze over the park, or sit on the covered balcony for a view of the waterfall while you dine.
Market Square
Step from the subway right into a rural paradise in Market Square.
Extensive community gardens in Market Square offer fresh produce to any who are willing to harvest it.
A farmer's market offers all the charm of rural fun.
Ambitious sims can have a crack at starting their own business at one of the many empty stalls in Market Square. Sell some of that garden produce you were just picking!
An empty lot near Market Square, where both horse lovers and vegetable lovers can live their dreams.
Diamond Key's Legacy Lot is right next to Market Square.
Business Square
The subway is flanked by a food stand (food register) and a newsstand (books register) in the middle of Business Square.
Working sims can pick up essential reading materials at the newsstand on their way home from work!
Chess and painting are the pastimes encouraged in this Square, to stimulate the scientific and creative sides of business.
Business Square gives quick and easy access to Diamond Key's business and industrial sections. City Hall is just a park away!
EA fails.
I bought the latest Store set, the one with the tea set and the cannery station to make jams and canned goods...and I have to say that the EA people clearly did not research what the homemade canning process looks like. 'Cause I nearly had a heart attack when my sim put both of her hands in the canning pot to pull out jars that had just been processed. (You do that IRL and you wind up in the hospital with 1st degree burns on your hands....)
Facepalming forever. Is it that hard to add animation?
New House and New Simspiration!
Hi Simmers
I havent written a Blog post in over a year. I took about 6 months off from creating. basically as I was not inspired and was busy playing new EPs lol. But since May I have come back full force in creating.. having been inspired by spring.
I am eagerly anticipating Sims 4 release in Sept.. and thought in the meantime i would create my little heart out! I believe I will eventually create for Sims 4 as well in due season. I fully plan on still playing Sims3 even after Sims4 comes out.
Anyways.. I have been trying to make both modern and contemporary homes. My next attempt is to be a Victorian style home.
Have a great day and Happy Simming!

Sooo, technical difficulties have popped up lately and its really messing up my story progress. I have three weeks to fix whtever's happening, so please bear with me
Update N6
Yea. I'm not going to call it a "daily" update anymore haha. Though this one is quite on time.
Oke, so I decided to not put the sim with a massive amount of slides on this site. Instead, I'll do another one. A male. *SMIRK*
PS. I've been thinking about. putting story characters, up for download. (For example, Drew from Sudden End, or perhaps someone from Endless)
But.. maye not.. since they use sliders.. argh. OR I'll have to search for all the sliders and such. zzz
Ok. what to do now.. I'm first going to do the 3 sims first.. and start thinking of how I should order the storyline from Endless Chapter 14.
I already have a huge idea, but it has some weirdish... yea.. I've no idea how to call it.. It's going to be a mess if I do it wrong xD
ok.. OH... I still need to do a picture for the Black and White! contest. jajajaja =D
Gawd, I hate my game at times.
Game's been running like a snail lately, so after intensive computer maintenance, and reinstalling both Origin and the base game, the game seems to be running a little smoother now. Have I mentioned how much I detest having to remain logged in to Origin in order to play the frickin' game? Thanks, EA, for making my laptop work harder than it should.... >:(
Right now I'm at the "I hate all custom content" place. It slows down everything about the game, especially the crap I've bought from the Sims 3 Store. Trouble is, I'm so used to having custom content in my game, that I don't know how much I'd enjoy playing without it. I try to limit the number of .ebc and .dbc files I have in the DCCache folder, but it's hard to do, considering the stuff I use all the time is either part of a world or a venue, where I can't pick and choose what I want to install. (Thanks, greedy Store people, for that. *snerk*) I've just tried playing with no custom content, and boy do my sims look bad, lol. I use a lot of Store clothes, so while they're all still rockin' the 3rd party custom content (no way I'm eliminating that), their clothing is sadly lacking.
Argh, why does this game have to be such a memory hog? WHY? (And don't get me started on The Sims 4, which is still a 32-bit game and I don't even know how the heck they can justify that when all other decent games out there are 64-bits and my laptop laughs at anything 32-bit....)
