It's hard to move on from someone you love. Especially when you think they might change for you. I had to learn this situation the hard way. I fell for this guy face first and I never have felt like this for anyone. It's been four years and I can still tell you how our first kiss felt. Athough this guy is not good for me. He has cheated one me, lied to my faced multiple amount of times and yet I still would take this guy back everytime he asked me too because I thought he would change for me. That's the thing though, people do not change, and nobody who claims to love you is going to hurt you. They don't want to purposely see you in pain and I feel like this guy got a kick out of messing with my heart for these past four years. He still comes to me now and tells me how he is going to change and how he messed up leaving me and blah blah blah. Although this time I see through his lies. I don't give him the time of day anymore. I forgive him for what he has done to me but I won't go back so he can do it to me again.
So how do you get over someone you love you ask? I don't think you ever really do. To this day I still love this guy, but guess what, I love myself more to not put myself back in that dark place again. I don't wanna be lied to and cheated on again and again. It's not fun. I also know that there is someone out there for me that isn't going to do what he did to me. That will most definitely put me first and will do anything just to see me smile. I just have to know that I am worth more than that past relationship and so are you, you might be reading this and is going through something very similar, it gets better, don't go back, because you are beautiful and strong and you don't need anyone to put you down like that. It like a mountain, sometimes you miss and step and you stumble and little, but you have to grab hold of the rock and keep climbing till you get to the top. Maybe I am writing this more for myself than I am for you, just to remind me that I don't deserve that and no matter how many times he tells me I am beautiful and that he messed up and that he is going to change, I know he isn't. I know I need to keep my head up and look forward because I and you deserve better. 

These past couple of days I have decided to go back and play some Sims 3 expansion packs that I haven't really explored to well. I started playing The Sims 3 World Adventures and can I just say that I am shocked at how much that expansion pack had to offer that I completely missed. I never even realized what all I was missing till I went back and played it and I can say that I am head over heels for this game. It is absolutely amazing and allows you to get away from your normal everyday household. It has also made me actually want to play for hours on end. So, if you are in a rut and don't know how to make your game more interesting, try exploring expansion packs you haven't really played all to well, I know it has made an extremely big difference in my game.  

This is a new sim that I have created in The Sims 4. She is an insane foodie that just wants to open her own restaurant.
You can download her in The Sims 4 gallery under my username: r0yalbee

Whenever The Sims 4 first came out, I was pumped. I could not wait to get home and it install it. I was so excited to check out all the new features and just play the game. Although that only lasted for a little while. I quickly got bored and could not get into playing the game. I tried everything just to get myself to enjoy the game from creating different storylines to doing challenges and nothing worked. I told myself well maybe if I add this expansion pack or this stuff pack maybe I'll enjoy it a little more, It still didn't work. I was really upset because I love The Sims and I wanted to play the new addition to The Sims franchise but I just couldn't get into it.
Eventually I figured out what the problem was. I stopped going places so I wouldn't have to hit a loading screen and I didn't wanna have kids because I missed toddlers. I felt very unconnected to my sims for some reason and I just didn't feel like how I felt when I played The Sims two or three. Not trying to compare because the are all separate games. Maybe its just coming from a game that had tons of add ons to it to one that has not had it's own add ons come out yet. I hoping eventually I will be able to get into The Sims 4 because the game really is amazing. Create-a-Sim is just perfect and the graphics are absolutely stunning, I just cannot, for some reason, get into it.

Make a sim, get married, have kids, repeat.
Make a sim, get married, have kids, repeat.
This is the cycle that most simmers, including myself, get stuck in and its very hard to get out of. In return this makes the game very boring. These few tips and tricks are ways that I keep my game interesting when I get stuck in this never ending cycle.

1. Randomize Traits 
Traits have a big impact on how our sims react and do things. I always used the same traits over and over again which caused my sims to be boring. When I took one of my always used traits out and put the Insane trait in or the Neurotic trait, it made a huge impact to my game. I could not stop laughing at my sim randomly acting like a dog in front of her clients or yelling at herself. It made me fall more in love with my sim and made me want to play her even longer.

2.Try a Different Career
If your constantly going into a rabbit hold career, switch it up and try playing an interactive career instead. This will definitely make your game much more interesting.

3.Try a Random Storyline
Storylines make you use your imagination and allows you to play out side of the box. It gives you the power to make your sims whoever you want and allows you to connect more with your sims.

4. Try a Challenge 
Trying to accomplish something in your game makes you want to come back and play more. This is exactly what a challenge does. It gives you something to try and accomplish, may it be a long term goal or a short one.

5. Get Out The House!
Try to do things you never would normally do. Go on a date, go to the bar or just get out and go to the park! Doing these things will make the game ten times more fun and allows you to meet different and interesting sims in the process.

6.Slow Down and Enjoy the Moment
Last but certainly not least, just slow down and enjoy whats going on around you. Stop trying to rush the time and just press speed one. The more you slow down and try to enjoy whats going on around you the more enjoyment you will get out of your game.

This Current Household I have only played for a few days and already I am in love! Here are a few photos of my two sims in Sunlit Tides.
