Do you think I have the best sims 3 family idea ever?




Sd Ddfsdfs


So, here are the steps to doing this thing... (Suggested names for humans and buildings will be mentioned at the end of the article)

1-------Go through the town; bulldoze every last building (you might want to start a whole new game for this).

2-------Scroll down to the beach. Scroll to the right once you see the beach. Go into the lot that stretches horizontally.

3-------Build a mountain that stretches of a "C" shape turned 90 degrees to the right, facing that ocean. While youâre at it, make a very small room... You'll see why.

4-------Edit Town

5-------Make a family of a blonde mom, a bearded dad, a teenage son like the dad, a pregnant redheaded woman, and an elderly man. Have the men wear cargo pants that are customized to be from cow's fur on the leather and furs category. Their shirts should be muscle shirts made with leather, again, from the leather and furs category. The women should wear shirts made with cow's fur or leather. Their pants should be those skirts that reach even over their ankles and be colored using ONLY cow's fur, or else it looks terrible, trust me. That's why the shirts should be leather... THEY SHOULD ALL BE BAREFOOT. Theyâre not going to be indoors at all, sort of an all life camping thing.

6-------Move the family into the house you just edited.

7-------Edit Town.

8-------Make a family with a rich man. He can be randomized because he will just die anyway. The girl must only wear white. Make her wear white makeup, and choose the hair with a white flower in it. She's a happy teenager. There father and daughter.

9-------Move them into any lot you design as the first one.

10-------After their moved in, kill the father either by aging him over and over again using "testingcheatsenabled true" and holding shift while left clicking him, or drown him in the pool by making a pool and making a wall that touches the edge of the pool.

11-------Make her now wear leathers and furs and dress like the rest of the people. Make her makeup all black. Take the flower out of her hair. Have her have a fire pit and sit around it. Fish and veggies she gathers she will roast by clicking on the fire pit and selecting roast something. Anything edible in her inventory she can roast. She will fast and be miserable for a couple of days.

12-------Just to clear some things up: This is how the other family lives. Also, they sleep in a tent. You can cheat by holding "Ctrl Shift C", and that pops up a window that you type in "testingcheatsenabled true" or "kaching" for 1,000 dollars. After her dad dies, go to France and buy a Kenspa at the general store. Go back and use the eyedropper to copy it. A whole lot of things will pop up. Spawn fish from exotic places in ponds, spawn bugs, too. But go back to the first tab to the left. Scroll down and you'll see some general store items you can get anywhere out of the country. Like Instant Showers and Tents. You will sleep in the tent, but customize it using Leathers and Furs tab. The fire pit can be made with snake or crocodile skin. Its fun.

13-------She meets the other family and moves in with them. She befriends the teenage boy and becomes his girlfriend. They train for martial arts with the dummy and board breaker bought through the Kenspa. Spawn plants for the family to eat and live off of. Itâs up to you what they spend their days doing. Think super primitive, Neolithic, hunting and gatheringâ¦

14-------Now that the story is progressing, leave them alone for a while and go build a temple up near that waterfall very far north. Make it like a hexagon so you can use the roof shaped like that. Make it super Chinese-like and all Zen and things. In the lot right in front of it, make a gym but shroud the outside in heavy trees. Make the middle filled with gym equipment, but still âout in the wilderness-likeâ.

15-------Make the temple residential.

16-------Make the gym no Visitors Allowed.

17-------Go back to the game and keep training and make pregnancies and advance a story you want with the other family members but keep the girl and the boy training martial arts and athletics.

18-------When they become young adults, leave the family and forget about them.

19-------Have the boy and girl buy a house/campsite like the other families, either by the sea or
inland. KEEP TRAINING THEM!! Girl should always be more skilled then the boy!!

20-------Have the boy get the girl pregnant right before she leaves for a tournament. Messes up her life, she gets mad at boy because she can't practice martial arts while sheâs pregnant, and she breaks up with him. But she still wants to be friends. Boy is very angry and hates her for a long time. Girl hates the kid but tries to be a good mom.

21-------She goes "years" away at tournaments whenever she can. Kid barely knows her. She wins Grand Master. Kid is about a ch
hild stage now and girl is about an adult. She wants to be back with boy already. Girl is still training athletically and with martial arts.
22-------Girl calls boy sometimes...Boy is ready to be friends again. They hook up and eventually become boy and girlfriend again. This time, they get married. When both of them get their athletic and martial arts skills perfected, they move into the temple with the kid.
23-------What I did at this point: I realized the boy shouldnât be married to the girl and broke them up, but they kept clicking so I made them just friends. If you want to play out my story, this marriage thing is just an option.
24-------Bet you forgot about the family, huh? Well, from here it's up to you.
25-------I changed the household to the family that I forgot about. There was only the redheaded lady and her kid who was about a teenager then. The rest of the family disappeared and was no where to be seen. They didnât move or die (it said so in the family tree in the âSimoligyâ tab. The redhead was an elder and looked really frazzled.
26-------I changed the womanâs traits to be things like âInsaneâ, âMean-Spiritedâ and âEvilâ.
27-------The woman went to the temple and basically yelled at the girl, âsayingâ things like, âyou left us there to fend for ourselves while youâre up here in your ivory towerâ, âwe raised you when your father died and you give nothing backâ, and âwe fed and clothed you for 10 years, and you expect we want nothing in returnâ.
28-------The girl, in her philosophy of Zen and Peace, tried to befriend her but the crazy lady was really angry.
29-------I let that story fester and created a family that consisted of an elder with black hair, black makeup and eye shado
OMG this is really hard to fit... Just...I'll make a part 2 now...

I can't believe I just read the entire thing.

It kinda makes me wanna play sims! I have it, and I haven't played in a while.
Sounds fun again!

Very complicated and many twists, but you did have a interesting family/story line.
Unique.. it was, I must say.
I like the whole camping outside thing.

I might try it one day. :) thanks for the idea.

can you list jobs that deal with adventure, surviving in wilderness, and/or camping?




nana


i want to research jobs, but im not sure where to start... but i love adventure and just going outside and just walking in the woods and try to find my way out.. i love camping... love makin my own fires and just going outside with a friend and just have random adventures.. it could be carrying a tent on my back and walking and find a camp site in woods or just simply following a river and seeing whre it goes... i think i want to do stuff like that for my career and i would really like it if yall could give me some names of jobs that deal with things like that...

Wilderness therapy is an intervention for at risk teens. They have different issues and will not initially be happy to be there, this is a parent-initiated thing. But most kids on some level are glad to be there and they usually grow to like it.

I did this for about 5 years combined, in 2 different programs. One was base camp model with court ordered kids who stayed upwards of a year. The other was an expedition program for more wealthy kids who were on their way to boarding school and camp was a way to stabilize the person, detox, get them situated on meds, collect some baseline data. They are very different and there are different even from that.

Wilderness camps are full of camping enthusiasts who know their way around the outdoors and want to live the life on a regular basis. You typically go in for 7 day shift, and then come out for 7 days. It is a very unique lifestyle and it is a great job for anyone who wants to get into behavioral science or working with criminals or addicts. In my experience, I was paid by the hour and the wage doesn't look too good until you realize you are in the woods half the time, and literally do not have time to spend it all. You also start accruing overtime after about 2 days because you are on 24 hour days. Everytime you go home you have a paycheck, and everytime you go home, you have a mini-vacation.

It is pretty much a regular camping life, with some allowances made for the kids. You become a parent figure in a group and you all move place to place, setting up, tearing down, bathing, campfires, therapy groups, exercises geared toward teaching a life skill or a character trait, ceremonial recognition of progress, then to bed. You may or may not have to do rounds or bed checks through the night. You are responsible for giving medication, and keeping track of it, and you are responsible for the safety of your group.

It isn't a life for everyone. It is very work-hard play-hard. Few will understand it and it is fun to talk about until you are tired of talking about it. But staff members tend to get very close and hang out a lot together. This is not the best suited for anyone with a family to deal with, even parents with another parent at home.

There are good and bad camps, even among companies with several operations in different places. You want to really get to know the people at each operation and feel out what they are about.

You will have the opportunity to certify in first aid, CPR at a bare minimum, but usually wilderness first responder is required for advancement. But the thing is...you get a lot of outdoor time! You get to push yourself and try all kinds of outdoor things. You also get to touch the life of a kid who needs a new way of doing things, and you can teach whatever you get from the outdoors to them...confidence, teamwork, perseverance, patience, etc.

It is a great first job out of college. Most will stay a year or two. You can also advance into more supervisory roles in the camp (it is a pretty tight circle of people who all know each other, which means if you have a solid set of references you can do almost anything in the industry), or move into any number of fields after that.

what are some cute, unique, original, and romantic things i could do for a girl?




unknown ma





Answer
The most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me was:

My parents decided that they wanted us to be more like a family, so we spent the entire summer camping. I found it pretty lame after a while because by the end of the weekend me and my mom would get into fights because i was usually the one babysitting my brother and my cousins that came. So i finally had enough and said i didn't want to go the next weekend because i had no one to hang around with. My mom came up with the idea of having me invite my boyfriend as long as he slept in a seperate tent.

I agreed and went with my boyfriend. When we got there, the campsite/park-thing was having a fireworks because it was their 50th anniversary or something. My parents didn't want to go because they were playing poker with my aunt and uncle in the larger tent, and my brother and cousins were sleeping. So i asked if Me and my boyfriend could go and they aqreed.

When me and my boyfriend got there, it was a large hill that overviewed the lake, and in the middle of the lake there was the boat that shot the fireworks. On the bottom of the field there was a stereo system where they played music. Me and my boyfriend laid down our blanket on the ground and got ready to watch the fireworks.

The fireworks only lasted about 15mins. But when we were there we laid back to the point where he had his arm around my back and my head was on his chest. after the fire works everyone left and went to the park that was about a 5 min. walk from the lake. When everyone was gone we just laid there looking at the stars.

sidenote->(i wanted to be an astronomer when i grow up and so did he)

When every one left the stereo system played a bunch of really slow songs, the one that stuck in my mind was aerosmiths "don't want to miss a thing". And while we laid there looking at the stars, with my head on his chest, he said to me "I could spend the rest of my life looking at the stars, the planets and everything in the universe, and i guarantee i would never see anyone or anything as raiant as you."

And anyone could imagine how mushy and sappy i got after that. Ofcourse i kissed him, and it was definately the best night of my life.

I love you patrick

P.S. this happend this summer so it was just past my 15th birthday.

What are the best camping spots near San Diego?




mayerj72


I would want there to be a lake or river if possible. Please only provide me with 2-3 of your favorite campgrounds and not a whole list. Otherwise I won't be able to make a good decision.

Thanks!



Answer
In San Diego county there aren't any really outstanding campgrounds near rivers or lakes, but here are some you might enjoy. I have camped at all of them, unlike some of the other responses here which seem pretty clearly to come from copying the internet as opposed to having actually been there.

Green Valley Falls Campground in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park comes to mind as it's right near a river and there's nice hiking. My only hesitation in recommending it outright is that it's in an area affected by recent wildfires and they've been clearing trees out of there recently. I'd suggest you contact the rangers for an update. It's got mostly giant oaks there along with a few pines. It's in a mountainous area with lots of nice hikes. And it's not too far a drive. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_ID=667

Another nice place near water would be Palomar Mt State Park, Doane Pond Campground. It probably takes only 20 minutes to walk around Doane Pond so it's not too big but I have seen people fish there, so it's big enough for that. There are also several creeks that run through the park and beautiful views to the ocean on clear days. It's quite nice up there, and next to the park is the famous Mt. Palomar Observatory, which is open to the public but you have to check out ahead of time the days and hours as it's limited visiting. Since it has a famous telescope there (actually a number of them on site) you know that it's a pretty good place for clear skies at night and star watching. However, it's elevation is high enough that if you plan to go camping soon, if you are going to be in a tent as opposed to an RV, it's going to be getting cold soon at night. http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/637/files/palomarmountain.pdf

A third place I thought about is in the Pine Hills area near Julian, at a county campground called William Heise County Park. It's very pretty there, pretty hikes, one spectacular hike through the mountains and trees with a panoramic viewpoint of the desert and the Salton Sea. Bonus if you are going soon is that you pass an orchard right outside the park boundaries with apples you either buy by the pound on the honor system, already picked, or you can go out into the orchards and buy your own. They taste so much better than what you buy in the stores, you'll want to get some for family and friends. Not much in the way of water features but as I said, it's a pretty park. http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/parks/Camping/heise.html

If you would like camping by the beach South Carlsbad is nice, but it's a little strange as you camp very close to a road and there's road noise that might be irritating if you're camping in a tent. However, on the other side is a spectacular ocean view and access. I'd guess if you were in an RV or use earplugs you'd do fine. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=660

Another option would be the San Mateo Campground near Camp Pendleton which has a wonderful trail to the beach along a river canyon to the famous surf spot the Tressles. The campground isn't particularly good or bad, sort of undistinguished, and it's strange that you can hear the shooting range at Pendleton in the background sometimes. But the trail thru the canyon to the beach is really quite unique and beautiful http://www.caopenspace.org/trestles.html

What are fun things to do with Chinese exchange students?

My family is hosting two chinese students this summer. My teacher (who is running the program) has asked me to think of some fun things to do with all the students and some field trips to go on and i'm stuck on what to do! Any Ideas?


Answer
Neat.

* Family get together (when's the next time Grandma going to get a chance to meet real Chinese people, as opposed to just hearing about them on TV?)
* Local sporting event (baseball, basketball, hockey...)
* Local carnivals or festivals
* Local landmarks / sightseeing
* State fair
* Farmer's market
* Local history/cultural museums
* Zoo / Aquarium
* Amusement park
* 4th of July celebration w/fireworks
* Outdoor picnic / BBQ
* Outlet mall
* Go to a "Chinese" restaurant
* Go to an authentic Chinese restaurant
* Go to a local famous restaurant - anything that isn't in China
* If they wish to show you how to cook a Chinese dish, try going to a Chinese grocery store
* Political rally for Obama or Romney or other local politician

In general, anything that is unique to America, or even better, to your city or area. If they're from a big city, take them into the wilderness or to a farm. If they like the outdoors, go on an overnight camping trip somewhere - even if it's just setting up the tent in your backyard.

Having them meet as many different people as possible is also a good idea. That's why I listed Family Get Together. Could be something informal, or a reunion, or even your 3rd cousin's wedding. The idea is to show them what real life Americans are like - not the ones they only see on TV or in movies.

Anything that is important to you is a good idea. If your family goes to church on Sunday - they're going. You or sibling is on the little league team? They're going to a game. Sunday dinner with Grandma? Yeah they're going.

At the same time, give them a chance to share their culture with you as well. If you have a Chinese restaurant that serves authentic Chinese food and not just stuff like General Tso's Chicken (which I guarantee they've never had before) going there will not only give them a comforting taste of home but also show you what their life in China is like.
