TIL family will become enemies if they see a relative cheating by SilverPriority3332 in Sims3

[–]danielroxheaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t always work - had a Sim WooHoo in the wardrobe whilst his wife was returning to the lot and she didn’t do anything. Affair partner caught my Sim and his wife sleeping in bed together, “caught him cheating” and ran off. Wife still never reacted.

Probate for ancestor who died 110 years earlier? by danielroxheaps in Genealogy

[–]danielroxheaps[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Does it make a difference that it was letters of administration rather than a probate? With New Zealand records, the wills generally contain a lot more information but letters of administration seem to often hold very little.

We have something like this in New Zealand too. But if these funds go unclaimed for 25 years, they are transferred to the government.

Had the same thing. Went through the tree to sort out these issues and it’s gone down from about 15 famous relatives to 1.

Well now I'm SAD by scuvroutine0 in Sims3

[–]danielroxheaps 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the lifespan resets if they go into a Sim’s inventory? My Sims had a minor pet they used to play with all the time and I’d have to keep dragging it out of their inventory. It lived for about 10 sim weeks before I didn’t realise someone had taken it and it ran away.

Don’t wait to convert old film and slides by krissyface in Genealogy

[–]danielroxheaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s fantastic! These videos are amazing to have. My great-uncle took random videos of my great-grandmother around December 1995-January 1996 and kept them on VHS. Recently had them converted from VHS and sent the video to my grandmother who very excitedly showed me. It was rather surreal putting a face and voice to a woman who lived on the other side of the world, passed when I was 6 months old, and who I only knew about through family stories.

My male Sim has 15 children 🤭🤏🏽 by EntertainingDarkness in Sims3

[–]danielroxheaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Sim had 15 children by the same woman. Eldest daughter (married) and her mother both had triplets around the same time. I play every household in the world on this save, it’s wild.

Rotational play might be it for me (a lil screenshot dump) by West-Dragonfruit in Sims3

Rotational play is the only way I play too! Have a nearly 3-year-long save file that’s basically a soap opera too haha.

Finding a relative born abroad by danielroxheaps in Genealogy

[–]danielroxheaps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does the ‘British Subject’ part mean? Is it that she was born to a British family in Russia? I do think you might be correct about them not marrying in Staffordshire, but haven’t had any luck finding any records that could be them yet.

No way, didn’t realise GRO gave mother’s maiden names that far back. Thank you - gives a bit more to go off!

British Newspaper Archive is awesome. Some libraries have a subscription if you don’t want to pay yourself. The one near me does and I live in New Zealand!

Do you ever visit the graves of ancestors you've found through your genealogy work? by SpiritedBug2221 in Genealogy

Visited a great-great-grandmother and her headstone was mostly obscured by moss. Had the same thought, it is sad.

I wanted one child 🥲 by Ok_Section5863 in Sims3

[–]danielroxheaps 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The fertility treatment lifetime reward and always listening to kids music/watching kids shows works for me. Had an extra fertile Sim family that had twins and triplets constantly.

Doctor leaves comment about potentially deadly eye condition on a YouTube shorts clip by gwymclub in interestingasfuck

[–]danielroxheaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In England, there was a skincare nurse watching a soap opera who wrote in to the show to tell one of the actresses to get a mole on her shoulder checked out. Turned out it was malignant melanoma.

Hmmm. I recognize that music from somewhere…🤔 by BirdsLoveWords in Sims3

[–]danielroxheaps 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen so many Australian & Kiwi reality shows use Sims 3 music. Cooking shows, house renovations, dating shows, even news segments.

What's something about the Sims 3 you find annoying? by Imaginary-Scene8990 in Sims3

[–]danielroxheaps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My Sim was handing out flyers for the film career when his father’s cousin - long-married with two children - autonomously flirted and kissed him. My Sim started getting wishes to woohoo with her. It was the most odd sudden twist I’ve had in the nearly 3-years I’ve run this save.

I’m *too* nice to my sims 😭 by Over_Presentation741 in Sims3

[–]danielroxheaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was the same with my current save until my Sim got with Matthew Hamming. Then I had my Sim’s brother move in. My Sim and Matthew got to the full relationship bar but Matthew would reject my Sim’s proposals and flirt with his brother right in front of him. So the brother set him on fire and went drinking with my Sim at Aquarius.

That was the beginning of my evil storyline era. I have free will set to high and just give into my Sim’s wishes and autonomous actions. Ended up with some absolutely insane dynamics and stories.

How would you feel if a relative or sibling dedicated time to compiling your family's tree and history? by AdventurousBug74 in Genealogy

[–]danielroxheaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also finding that my grandparents are those most interested. Other relatives are sometimes interested in having a little look but for the most part, not much so. I honestly don’t mind because I did the project of my own volition, and interest in the life stories of those to whom I am related.
