Sims 3 Tales, Part 3
July 15th, 2009
The two friends renewed their acquaintance.
Unfortunately, Katriss hadn't foreseen the possibility that tricking Ethyn into a relationship would open the floodgates of his amorous feelings. As soon as he returned from Marty's, he put the moves on Gwendolyn, their maid.
He couldn't seem to stop himself from flirting. It felt so good to be enjoying romance again.
Katriss couldn't have him getting sidetracked from pursuing an affair with Marty though. Ethyn was her tool to wield as she would! She would have to refocus his efforts.
Perhaps she could invite Marty over sometime. Maybe even convince him that it would be a good idea to spend the night. So many things delightful and relationship-ruining things could happen in the course of one night.
But Katriss' schemes were put on a short hiatus as she finally got the call from the science center that she'd been waiting for—they were looking for the remains of deceased test subjects to attempt a new resurrection technique they had developed.
The next day, she took her beloved Ransom's remains to the science center. The experiment wasn't entirely successful (he remained a ghost), but at least he would no longer disappear with the dawn. He was free to start a new life with her and their daughter.
(I was so happy and excited when the science center opportunity finally presented itself! I felt like I had waited such a long time. Hopefully, if I decided to make another NPC ghost playable someday, it will be easier now that I know what to do.)
In fact, the first thing Ransom did when they arrived home was ask if she would marry him. He thanked her for all her hard work and the sacrifices she had made for him. He couldn't imagine starting his life again if she wouldn't share it with him.
Being a genius, as Katriss was and an evil one at that, meant she wasn't surprised too often. But she hadn't expected Ransom's proposal at all. Instead, she had planned on proposing to him.

I hope you do continue for purely selfish reasons. I have really enjoyed these. It makes me want to play Sims 3 … until I try to load it and the screen is still all wonky. I really need to find the fix for that.

This is by far one of the more enjoyable Sims3 presentations I have seen. Your characters are really nice looking (even though they have doughy faces) and as always your storytelling is entertaining! I hope you continue (although I miss Edmond)

I think Katriss kind of scares me now xD But please, continue this story ! First Sims 3 story which I actually find amusing, instead of wanting to throw the ugly characters into a pool and drown them.. (Which is also the reason why I haven't got the game yet, since I would scream at my sims uglyness instead of playing.. ) But I would honestly say, this actually makes me tempted to buy the game! If only the sims could be a little prettier.. (And sorry for my bad english xD)
And since I'm already writing this comment, I thought I should mention that I absoulutley love your stories! (The Monster and the maiden, specially(?)! ) Can't wait to see more of Edmond and Emily 😉

I agree wholeheartedly with Gayl. I've seen some TS3 stuff and this by far is the best one. <3
I'm actually glad that Katriss is with Ransom too. Poor Ethyn though, a tool for Katriss to wield. Poor boy. I hope the maid can give him a little tender loving woohoo to ease the pain. ^_^

It is funny how much Katriss looks like her bjd counterpart … she is not a happy mold, but you have definitely gotten the facial expression down cold!
And as soon as it loads, there are little "symbols" all over the page that continue through loading and into the game. It is playable, but really annoying. I have not changed any settings or hardware, so I am having a hard time figuring out what the heck is going on with it, and working too much to put much time into figuring it out.
And my Sims are WAY uglier than yours!

And they are more green/pink/purple squares than symbols. I just logged in again to see if it was still happening since I just restarted the computer this morning. I wonder if the video card is going wonky? Everything else seems fine though …

Oh PLEASE continue >..< I fact I played Sims 3 for the first time yesterday on the computer of my brother (since mine is too old for this game) since he was in Cologne for the day (I'm from Germany)… Sadly this is rare as he is a WoW-addict and doesn't leave the computer very often-.- so I have to get my share of Sims 3 somewhere else… you make me dream about the interesting things I'll try the next time I get to play. ^^
