Horrible News, Origin broke for me again, New Sims 3 worlds Put on Hold
I am sorry to have to get everyone down, but it seems that solution mentioned on my previous post on the subject was just temporary. I got this a few days ago when I tried opening up Edit in Game to work on a new world
Now it looks like it was giving me the option to play with Origin offline, but no, no it was not. I tried going into offline mode and using it that way, multiple times, but it simply would not let me. Eventually I got so frustrated that I decided to click on the top one, the always keep Origin up to date, thinking that if I got that dreaded “Welcome to the EA App” screen, I could just disable it, and sure enough, it popped up again, only this time the fix did not work. I hope other people are able still create Sims 3 worlds somehow, even if I can’t. One of the reasons I went back to the Sims 3 was because I enjoyed building the worlds so much. I got so desperate that I eventually downloaded an older version of Origin, and disconnected the internet, so it couldn’t auto update, but that didn’t work either. Now I could make all of my builds part of a saved game file, but I really don’t want to do that. I am so angry at EA, they had to fix something that wasn’t broken and when they broke other things in the process, they still forced everyone else to switch over. I have the old Sims 3 discs somewhere for all of the expansion packs if I remember correctly, but I’m not sure they still work because they’re old and I haven’t use them in a very long time. That’s even ignoring the issue TS1Depot found involving old psychical copies of the Sims 3. As much as I would hate to do so, I my have to use a mod, to get CAW to work now. However, even that is a long shot, because there’s no guarantee that someone will be able to create such a mod. If I can’t use a fully functional CAW anymore after this, I will probably continue this blog, but I will move on, and it will no longer focus on the Sims 3.

As soon as I saw a pizza oven in the new pack, I had to make this! A simple set of 2 items; a brick pizza oven and a pile of firewood.
2 new meshes
Pizza oven requires Home Chef Hustle pack
7 firewood swatches and 16 oven swatches (including the originals)
Find by searching 'Lijoue' in game
Playtested
I hope you enjoy it! ♡

This is gonna sound SOOO off or smthn but
Was the Perfect Family Harmony planned to be a weapon against the Bergens?
Long post ahead bc brain is rotting
Ok so as we know, the Perfect Family Harmony is smthn that's so powerful that its capable of shattering diamonds. Not just that but its one of the only thing capable of doing so(according to Floyd it was the only thing but giving the benefit of the doubt)
So we know its strong, and we saw it blasting off Velvet and Veneer off their platforms when they performed it, and they weren't even the targets, they were blasted away by just the shockwave that came with using it.
"Its that powerful."
Ok, so its definitely powerful enough to be used as a weapon right? Yeah it was relatively safe enough to use in front of a crowd, else they wouldn't have tried to do it during a concert, but that could just be when those harmonizing aren't targeting anything.
If it could shatter diamonds, how easily could it break cages? What would it do if it was used to target a Bergen? A whole Kingdom of Bergens?
Lets also go back to that concert, to that time John was obsessed with them getting it right. They were in the Troll tree, in Bergentown, a place where any of them could die during Trollstice. The Bergens were a huge threat, something that trolls, at their size, couldn't fight back against normally so they had to run instead right?
But what if they COULD fight back? What if they had a weapon so powerful that it might finally be able to free them? To defeat the monsters that tortured their kind for centuries?
What if John Dory found a way to help make sure nothing would threaten his brothers' safety ever again?
Like, it'd make John Dory's obsession make SOOO MUCH MORE SENSE
Like yea he clearly has OCD and anxiety and some bossiness and that definitely added to it all, but imagine if it was more than that?
Look at him during that performance. He was in deep. He had a wild look in his eyes, a sort of deranged obsession to have everything be perfect no matter what. It wasn't healthy, it was scary, maybe even downright terrifying for his brothers who had to be subjected to it.
But you know what else he looked like?
Terrified
Man was scared out of his mind. His anxiety and stress levels were through the roof. He probably was one wrong tune away from hyperventilating.
What if it was bc it was so much more than the fans? What if he put the salvation of the entire troll-kind on his shoulders?
One wrong step meant they were nothing.
One wrong step meant disappointing the fans.
One wrong step meant letting down the kingdom.
One wrong step meant another troll getting eaten.
Thats why when they failed, John blew up. He took all of that self-hatred of failing to use that weapon to defeat the bergens and poured it all onto his brothers.
"I know we can reach the Perfect Family Harmony."
"What if we don't want to."
John Dory, blind to how and WHY his brothers didn't want to follow his lead, felt betrayed.
To him, all he's ever done was to ensure their safety, everything was for the greater good. He'd done everything he could, his goals slowly twisting him into a crazed obsession. To hear his brothers say they didn't want to help anymore might've struck a cord too much. If you'd noticed he actually looked really sad and hurt when they started bringing up how much they hated being in the band, but it slowly twisted to anger instead. Kind of in a like, "I tried doing everything for these shts and THIS is how they repay me???" way. He was so stressed and stuck in his own head with his failures that he just couldn't see what his brothers were trying to say.
So in a fit of impulsive rage, he left. To him it probably was like that rlly childish way of saying "Yea im leaving, good luck dealing with the Bergens while im goneee." You know? Like how kids runaway from home when they get angry or upset over every little thing but come back when they realize how stupid that was?
"Im not allowed to change."
And he DID come back. Who knows how long, but he did. Imagine how he must've felt seeing their empty pod in an empty tree, with the knowledge that he could've done something about it. The Perfect Family Harmony could've saved them. They could've used it to break the cage, to fight the Bergens. Hell, it could've been powerful enough to wipe out all the Bergens if they do so wished.
"Im the oldest, I have to be the leader."
He and his brothers were the only ones who'd ever gotten close to getting it right.
"Why do you think I moved into the middle of nowhere? So I didn't have to be in charge of anyone."
The village was counting on them. Counting on him. He let them down. He failed.
"Freeing the village Four little brothers is a lot of responsibility."
They could've gotten it. If only John did it right. If only John did it differently.
If only John Dory was Perfect
