Sims 3 Making it “Easy”

As I said before, my family are gamers. When Sims 3 for Console came out this week, since we already pre-ordered it, we got it out the day it was put available on the stand!
Now, I cannot let my kids play whatever games they want, I’m a gamer so they know they cannot fool me either! It’s one thing to buy your kids all these gadgets nowadays and let them play without your supervision, work takes your time, games take theirs…why not spend time together on something that they like doing and compromise that if you play their term, they will play your terms…that’s how we get them to keep their grades (2 of them are in gifted class, one is coming along and the youngest is 2 yrs old–maybe the youngest Ken Block fan ever…LOL), attitudes and habits, chores in check. I know parents does different styles and tactics when it comes to raising children, these ones work for us.

My eldest and I had been playing Sims 3 ps3, while the others like it on PC. I prefer not to cheat, but sometimes it’s too hard for the kids to do it, so I give them the cheat codes for money to make it easier for them, not too much or they’re not allowed to play anymore, how do I know, because I play too… The Sims game gives them a taste of what it’s like when they grow up, get a job, be out on their own…we had all The Sims Series (from1 to 3).

We had been looking for cheat codes and I guess I thought because it’s new it’s not anywhere online yet. We tried experimenting all kinds of stuff, pushing button combinations that would be likely to be used, no luck at all. We tried following the Sims 2/ps2 pattern combinations…didn’t do a thing, it only messes up the game…LOL! But finally, with determination we found it! It’s

L1 + L2 + R1 + R2.

When pushed simultaneously a popup will tell you that “SPOOT” (it’s a Llama) is now available for you to use and it’s in your Decor-Miscellaneous. You have to get him or buy him and put him somewhere around your house. Click him and get all the cheats that are available through him. It will disable some Challenges and Trophies too, but I’m not sure yet.

Anyways, good luck to all of your who plays, may it be on console or PC.

Just an addition, we are “Outside” players too…we play Kart racing, Tennis (my husband has some divisions wins) ans Soccer. We’re not couch potatoes…LOL!

A song I made in 2006, which I would never imagine I will be dedicating to you, Daddy. I miss you so much… I don’t want to let you go because I’m scared I will forget you, your life, your face, your smile, everything about you… I have brushed shoulders with death a few times in my life…I’m not bitter at it, it’s kinda like rain that pours and sometimes it feels like forever…you wait for it to pass…This is the second “Pouring Rain” in my life…and I’m still waiting for it to pass…

IF

If you happen to pass this way again
Could you pass by my side
If you happen to look this way again
Could you please smile at me

II
If you’re looking from heaven at me now
Could you send me a sign
That you still think of me once or twice
And the times that we had

Chorus:
I don’t wanna forget your face
I don’t wanna forget your smile
If heaven knows best
Then heaven would know
How you mean to me

III
If you happen to know what lies ahead
Could you please guide my way
I would stay in race with steady feet
Knowing you’re by my side

Repeat Chorus 2x

For all the loved ones I lost…this song is for you too, we will meet again…one way or another, when, how, where—heaven only knows!

Just A Thought

There are so many things you can do on a rainy Monday morning, you can listen to the Carpenter song “Rainy Days and Mondays”, or the Mamas and the Papas song “Monday Monday”….while driving to work, while sending your kids to school, while still in bed, while eating your breakfast, after morning meditations or prayers… BEFORE you meet and greet your fellow human beings, may it be a friend, a wife, a husband, your kids, your siblings, a coworker, a boss or a subordinate…here is a little thought————

Hope ya’ll have a great day today!🙂
