and get aquainted with the new format and direction, because new stories will be posted after this weekend!

The site is called “Secrets of Sunset Valley-and Riverview Ramblings!”

(Note that no new stories will be posted here, although Holden and Gwen will be revamped and re-posted and continues, as well as the Goth’s and Agnes. The rest will be new stories on the new site!)

I hope you will enjoy the new work (I will be trying a lot harder this time/updating more frequently!) and I look forward to your comments!

Happy Simming!

I realize I have been very neglectful of my blog, as of late, and I am sorry about that! I haven’t forgotten about the Sims 3, or my readers, either!

I have had a lot going on, with mid-terms, personal life, etc, but the Sims 3 is back on the list of things to do, soooo here is what is up:

* I am buying a new computer, as it is nothing short of a miracle that the one I have right now is sort of running the Sims 3, but not at optimum level. Its really old, with a lot of add-on parts, and may burst into flames or spontaneously combust next time I try to play it.

So, temporarily, this blog will not be updated. But I intend to come back before summer and do a lot of posts, with a fresh design, new stories, and an entirely original neighborhood that I am really psyched about writing about, and I hope/think you will be, too!

Stay cool, and in the words of the Governator “I’ll be BACK!”

The New Updates are as follows:

Several New Chapters for “An Unlikely Pair”, with Holden and Gwen

One New Chapter to “An Iconic Life”, with the Goths.

The Beginning of “It’s Not Too Late”, 2 pages so far of Agnes Crumplebottom’s story!

That’s all for now! Enjoy!

I will likely be posting on the weekends, since the school semester starts tomorrow! Have fun catching up until then!

Gwen and Holden’s “An Unlikely Pair” has been updated, with two more chapters/pages…

The beginning of Agnes Crumplebottom’s story will be coming in a matter of days….

The Goth’s may take a little while for a decent update, seeing as I haven’t played them in a bit. In fact, Christmas and all its wonderful business has kept me from playing the game for a little bit, but I can’t wait to get back to it pronto!

Also, stay tuned for two original sims in a dramatic love story. Very soon you will be introduced to Jules Spencer, and Jayden Foxe…

Thats all for now! Happy Simming and come back soon!

-AalyahReed

They should all be back on the right-hand side of the page for you!

Soo… I took some time around the holidays to be with my family, but now I fully intend to get back to the blog, and I wanted to let you all know that a new update is coming:

-Find out how Holden and Gwen’s relationship continues to change and grow…

-Learn more about the Goth family’s past, and start following them in the present, with a focus on Gunther and Cornelia’s waning marriage (can it be saved?) and Mortimer and Bella’s childhood friendship…

-A new story, about Cornelia’s siter Agnes Crumplebottom. Will this widow ever recover? What is in store for her new life alone? And who is Sigurd Haldane?…

I hope you guys will enjoy the new posts coming in a matter of days! As always, I appreciate your feedback, and enjoy reading your Sims stories as well!

New to the Site:

A few chapters of the ongoing story “An Unlikely Pair” about Holden Wozny and Gwen Glover, pre-made characters familiar to players of the game. Although EA created, their story is entirely original to me. I love playing Holden and Gwen, they have great personalities and keep me entertained!

Also, my own take on the much-beloved Goth Family (Sims players are already familiar!) This will also be ongoing.

Playing the Goths led to me taking on Cornelia’s sister, Agnes Crumplebottom. I will be telling her story, too! Agnes is quickly becoming a new favorite!

Please keep checking back, as I am updating frequently. Feel free to link to my site from your site.

~Remember, The Sims 3 and all related Expansion Packs, etc, are  created and owned by EA Games.~

Sincerely,

I am AalyahReed, from the Sims 3 community, and this blog was inspired by all the other great Sims 3 story blogs out there. I have some stories of my own, that hopefully will appeal to all types of Sims 3 fans.

Nothing is posted, as of yet, but I can promise good stuff will be coming! You will find my own interpretations of the pre-made families life stories, like the uber-popular Goths and Newbies, as well as original stories from families close to my heart!Check back soon, please! I hope to learn how to use this site fairly quickly!

Happy Simming!
