Playing TS3 again

jothirteenEvery now and then, I get tired of TS2 and go play TS3 instead. The problem with that is that my laptop can't handle having both games & their EPs installed in it very well. So I had to do all the "packing" routine with my TS2 stuff (downloads, neighbourhoods, packaged sims, etc.), and they're all safe in the backup disk for now.
It's an odd feeling to play TS3 with no CC at all, though, maybe I should download something. I only have 3 EPs (Late Night, Generations and Pets) so it's not like these things are going to take an inimaginable toll on the laptop compared to TS2, with the 6 EPs I have (University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage) plus one stuff pack (Glamour Life) and a Downloads folder with over 30000 files.
It was my first time at playing the TS3 Pets EP though, and I've been pleased with it so far.
Here is my sim, Thyra Darriell, who has the dubious honour of being the first crazy cat lady I've created in TS3 (she is a YA in the first pic, adult in the second).
She adopted her first cat from a neighbour who had a litter of 3 kittens available for adoption. I decided to choose one of the females, and renamed her Silly (I think her original name was Socks).
By the time Silly had already been an adult cat for a couple of days, I had Thyra adopt a male cat (original name Pookie) who was promptly renamed Sir Puffy. (Yes, I know, my names for sim cats aren't too brilliant or dignified.)
I had Silly and Sir Puffy interact until becoming best friends (by the way, I love the fact that we can control pets in every way in this EP - that was something really missing from the TS2 Pets EP. Though the Sims 3 cats might be a little too docile when compared with real cats...)
Eventually, Sir Puffy and Silly tried for kittens, Silly becoming pregnant at the 2nd try, and a few days later, she gave birth to a litter of 4 kittens. Cute little things, I also like the fact how kittens are miniature versions of their adult forms in every way, not just all the same except for fur colour like in TS2.
The kittens are 3 females and a male. I named them Misha, Sissy, Etty and Rolly.
This is Rolly, I think, here seen with his mother.
I'm pretty sure this one, who looks like her father, is Sissy...
...this one might be Etty. She's one of the two kittens who have a half white, half striped face.
And so this could be Misha. Another one with the characteristic face.
I've only played 2 or 3 days after the kittens' birth so far, so they're still small. Not sure how many of them I'll have Thyra keep after they become adults, though. On one hand, I can't have her keep them all, because I want one of them to carry on the line and bring on a next generation of cats. On the other hand, I'll be kinda sad to see them go. Though I might keep two of them around instead of just one.
