When I get requests about where I get my CC, I will try and link them here if I can!
Berry Skins – Fawkes’s Rainbow Skins
Default Skins – Ephemera v2.2
Default Eyes – Tifa’s N41
Painting Replacement Mod – Plum’s Painting Replacements
Lighting Mod – Outdoor Lighting Tweaks v1.5 by dDefinder
Here are links to all the major players in ABC-ISBI! If you use them, I’d love to know how they’re doing in your game! 🙂
Founding Generation
Generation Two
Households
The Family at the End of Grape’s Reign
This is the save file with Grape, Kiwi, Watermelon, Sugar Plum, and Eggplant. You also get Sugar Valley and all the simself drama, besides! Just download the .rar file and unzip it, then place the folder into My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Saves. The saved game should then show up on your main menu when you start up your game.
The Household Save – Generation 3
This is the save file with elder Grape & Kiwi, and WM (pregnant with 4th baby), Stormy, Green Apple, Icee, and Frostie. Also includes spiffy new landscaping by my hubby!
Generation Three
Generation 4
Here’s a link to Blue’s hair: http://anubis360.blogspot.com/2010/08/tums-anto-hair-75-pookletd.html
Generation 5
Marmalade Citrus-Sorbet (Adult) – based on this sim by Smuzie
Generation 6
A Berry Crazy ISBI

Are all the generation 2 links supposed to be connected? cuz when I click on it, all it shows is Grape.
Uh oh, sounds like user error. >< shoot, I'll see what I can do to fix that.
Okay, apparently if the text is on the very next line it groups them together. >< Lesson learned! They should be fixed now. Sorry about that!
Thank you! BTW, I love this legacy. So very awesome. 😀
Thank you so much! 😀
yay for households! Yaaay! (i’m very excited.)
Hmmm… the household won’t show up in my game. 😦
Booo! Let me see if I can get someone else to test and see if it works in their game. If not, I’ll try something else.
Thanks for all your help! 😀
*hounds for answers*
=)
Well, I asked a friend to see if it would show up in her game, and it didn’t work for her either. >< So I'm thinking maybe I'll just upload the whole save file instead and hope THAT works. May not be tonight though.
Unless anyone else has any suggestions on how to get it to work?
I have no idea, but I think households with houses just don’t work through the launcher, because I tried one a few months ago, and I and a few others had the same problem. You could take the house from your bin, then move them into a new town. Then share the family and the house separately. Then you could delete the save or something. Just an idea 🙂
It doesn’t matter to me when you do it. I’ll be out of town ’till Monday. Thank you!! =D
I went ahead and uploaded the save file, so hopefully that works!
Yay! You made me so happy 😀
Sorry… it doesn’t work… 😦
Hmm, you unzipped the folder into your saves and it doesn’t show up as a playable game in your start up menu?
Nope. D:
Sorry you have to help me so much.
No, it’s not you! It’s the game…why can’t it just work right and be easy? lol…I have no idea why the save game isn’t working. If it’s installed correctly, it should show up, so I don’t know why it’s not working. Just frustrating because I don’t know at which point it’s messing up! lol
It shows up in my saves folder, but not in game…
OK, in your saves, is the file extension .sims3?
Yes.
I tried everything, I can’t get it to work. D:
Blargh! Are there five files in the save folder? I’m not sure what else to try. I can try uploading the house by itself (though I may upload the NEW version, because it’s much more full of awesome).
The folder has 5 files in it. I’ll try to download it again. It’s probably my fault it’s not working.
Not necessarily…it’s probably EA’s fault. lol They can’t make anything easy. 🙂 I’ll try and see if it works for anyone else. Do you have all the expansions? It has stuff in it from Outdoor Living and Late Night, so it could be that if you don’t have those packs there’s just too much stuff that’s not compatible? Not sure.
I have no stuff packs and all expansions. Anyway, IT WORKS NOW! I was just ignorant and didn’t scroll to the right enough. -.-
Thank you for all your help 😀
Oh, awesome! Glad it works! 😀 Let me know how they do in your game!
Speaking of that… I thought you’d enjoy this picture I took.
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6h5cop&s=7
That’s YA Watermelon, if you were wondering (you probably already knew).
Aww, hooray! I hope they’ll be very happy together. 🙂
They had a baby boy named Tangelo. He’s so cute! 😀
Love the new banner 🙂
TY! It goes with the new update that will be out in just a few minutes. 😉
Thanks for sugar Valley already set up! ;3 Can’t wait to play around in it.
No problem!
Can you upload the house as it is now? Pweeeease? 🙂
Sure! Should I upload the save file again, or just the household?
umm… whatever you prefer, although household probably won’t work for me, households never seem to. >.<
thank you!
I need you to tell me which default eyes you are using. They’re gorgeous and I think I want to try them >_>
Sure thing! I’m in LOVE with them. They’re the “glittering blackness” eyes from amvalvo at MTS: http://www.modthesims.info/d/356545.
And HAI Mariah! hehehe ❤
I added a link to the default eyes I use, and also put up the most recent save with the new house!
yayz! thankerz! 😀
Their house is gorgeous ;-;
Do you ever plan on uploading it?
Thank you! I uploaded the save file, which has the whole neighborhood in it. 🙂 I never seem to be able to upload to the exchange.
New household up to replace the one that was overstuffed! Also has new landscaping by my hubby…looks gorgeous!
could you put Herman up? 🙂
Sure thing! He’s up there now, along with Eggplant and Green Apple. 🙂
thank you! 🙂
In Chapter 3.Err… Something, you mentioned the default baby replacement skin. Do you have that link or do you maybe have another link, because I love it and the link was very weird, I couldn’t find it at all!
Unfortunately, it says the page has been removed. 😦 Not sure why, but it looks like it’s no longer available for download.
Hi Styxlady! I just gotta say your stories are amazing! I was wondering what mod you use for the Story Progression and if you could post the link, it looks really cool! Thanks! 🙂
Hi, Anon, and thanks for commenting! I’m glad you’re liking my stories. 🙂 I use Twallan’s mod for story progression (and almost all his other mods too!): http://www.the-isz.com/nraas/index.php?PHPSESSID=9d689e7d6baaf49ca8a6258b09f48e6b&board=4.0
Thanks so much! 🙂
Hi Styx, it’s GinghamCloud101 here, but i’m on my phone and it’s a pain to log in :’)
I was wondering where you got your lovely lighting mod from?
Keep up the excellent work♥
It’s the Outdoor Lighting Mod at MTS: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=367164. Love it!
I know I could just like, you know TEXT you, but I wanted to comment, cause I want to be annoying. . . LOL. J/K. Anyways, did you know that Grape and Cranberry are both teens in your files. I may have mentioned that, but I thought I let you know. Blackberry is fine though.
I hearts Cranberry!!!
LOL, yeah I know they’re teens. Do you think anyone will mind?
My simself can’t have blue babies with Blue if he isn’t hurrrrr! XD
I guess I’d better get on that then!
He’s up there now. 🙂 Eventually I’ll get the other members of Gen. 4 up too.
YAYYY! Thanks!
This is such a cute story ^-^
Where did you get Blueberry’s and Raspberry’s hair? I wanna download them but those are the only two I haven’t got.
Thanks so much :*
Thanks! I got Ras’s hair from a sim on the exchange, so it should come with her when you download her. I listed Blue’s hair above, since I’m getting a lot of requests for it, but i’ll link it here too: http://anubis360.blogspot.com/2010/08/tums-anto-hair-75-pookletd.html.
Thank you for the link to Blue’s hair, but I downloaded Raspberry, and all I get is one of the base game hairstyles D:
Lemme try again and get back to you. Thank you for the help!
Hmm, maybe it only works from the exchange. Here is the sim I got it from, maybe it will work for you that way: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=3278922.
Oooh, it works now! Sorry to be a pain D; but thank you so much!!
I thought I’d let you know how Blue was doing in my game. He has been a busy boy. Here is his daughter.
He has another on the way!
Oh wow, she’s gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the pic…maybe you could post another one of the new baby too! 🙂
Here is Blue’s second child Kieran. Like last time it’s a YA picture, but I also included a pic of him as a toddler. Plus one extra to show you how good of a dad he’s being! He is married to one of the spares from this generation of my ISBI.
Kieran is adorable! Love his coloring. Awww, go Blue! You don’t disappoint. 😉
Are you ok with it if I use some of your sims in my new isbi? I’m just putting them in my neighbourhood, not sure if they will play a major role. Just thought I should ask your permission 😉
Oh and I’m still catching up with RSGNM. I’m sorry it takes me so long.
Absolutely! 🙂 That’s what they’re there for..hehehe. And take as long as you want with RSGNM! I know it’s a lot and I appreciate that you’re enjoying it. 🙂 Also, feel free to use my simself! I have a new one up in my studio (my name on the sims 3 site is also StyxLady).
OHH and could I use your simself too? Sorry I’m asking so much XD
Styx, by any chance would you be able to get Mango uploaded?
Next time I’m in the ABC save I’ll definitely do that for you!
Mango’s up there now! 🙂
Hi, I’m a big fan of RSGNM and ABC, and I’ve downloaded Blue, but his skin is a very purplish color instead of blue. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advanced!
Hmm…I really don’t know! Do you have the Fawkes rainbow skin tones?
Yeah, I have cupcakes updated version and I placed it in my Packages folder. The skin tones showed up but when i selected Blue he was still dark purple. I don’t know what the problem is.
For now, with Blue, I’ve just been trying to adjust his skin tone to the closest color in his picture. Also, on an unrelated note, I wanted to ask where you got Blackberry’s hair.
Hmm, maybe it’s because I don’t have the updated versions? Sorry bout that! Hmm, Blackberry’s hair…it was one of the first ones I remember downloading…let me look. I’m thinking it was Peggyzone or Rose Sims, but Peggy’s site isn’t working for me, and it’s not listed on the Rose Sims site. -.- I fail today!
That’s okay. Thanks for all the great legacies and I’ll go check Peggyzone now!
Sorry to double comment, but I was thinking about getting a new computer and I don’t want to lose my saves. I don’t know which files to upload, and since you’ve done it with the Sorbets, I was wondering if you could help me out. If you don’t want to that’s fine, I’ll look somewhere else. Thanks in advanced!
All you need to do to keel your saves is copy them to a isbi drive! The folder you need to copy is my documents/electronic arts/the Sims 3/saves. That’s where all your saves are located if you want to upload them individually to mediafire or another host. 🙂
*keep, not keel. ><
Omg and *usb drive. Dumb phone!
Thank you so much! Oh and I found Blackberry’s hair on Peggyzone. Thanks again!
NP! And yay, glad the site worked for you! All I get most of the time is a blank white page. -.-
Yeah, I was having that problem and I figured out it was because of my browser(Google Chrome). Now, whenever I want to go to Peggyzone, I just use Firefox.
How do you get the berry skins to work in-game? I downloaded Ras, and her preview looks perfect, but her skin goes gray when I open her. Is there a special mod I need?
You need to have Fawkes’s skintones in your game. 🙂
Which skin do you use? like the ones for the non-berry sims
My defaults are the naughty skins by ladyfrontbum. 😉
What face skin do you use?
I don’t use a separate face skin, just ladyfrontbum’s default skins–those include the face. 🙂
hi, what hair did you use for watermelon? cos i have her in my game, but she doesn’t look right without the right hair. thanx xxx
I looked and looked and I couldn’t find it!
I thought it was maybe a Newsea, but I scrolled through all his pages on TSR and it’s not there, so I’m not sure. Sorry about that! I know what you mean about sims not looking right with different hair. 😦
thats ok. thaanks anyway 🙂
Every time I try to click the links, it leads to a page that says “WordPress.com does not permit the use of many affiliate links in blog content.”
Really? D: That’s odd, it works when I click them. Is anyone else having this problem?
hi. do you know if you can use fawkes skintones on a mac?
From my best friend who’s a mac user: “All skin tones should work on a mac. The CC is all the same.” I use a PC, myself, but she says it should work!
Thanks!
I’m downloading Blue and putting him in my Inaya DITFT blog, but he won’t be physically blue anymore… >_> And will probably have a regular, not fruit, name. =D Yay?
Awesome! Hope he behaves himself. XD
How do you download the painting replacements into the sims game? I just can’t get mine to work.
For me, it worked just like any other package file. I downloaded it and extracted it to My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages. Then it should work in your game!
Hey xD sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you could put Marmalade up? (I got no clue if I spelt his name right O.o sleepy…)
Marmalade was based off a sim called Nilla Raspberry by Smuzie, here: http://smuziesims.blogspot.com/2010/05/nilla-rasberry.html. I changed his coloring, but that’s about it. I just checked and apparently I haven’t yet saved Marmalade to my library, but I’ll do that and upload him to mediafire next time I’m in the save.
Thankies ^^
Marmalade and Taffy have now been added. 🙂
I am madly in love with Georgia. I can’t explain it, but I love her. When will you be able to put up her and her sisters? 🙂
LOL, she’s definitely a character! I’ll upload them when they hit YA. 🙂
Do you know how I can expand my skin tones box? I can’t see my colors to make my sims berry sims.
Sure! If you hover over the skins area, you just use your mouse wheel to scroll through them all. 🙂 HTH!
okay thank you so much!
Where did you get Blackberry’s toddler hair from? It’s extremely cute. 😀
Oh man, that’s one of the ones I’ve had the longest….uh…it might be a Newsea hair, but I honestly don’t remember for sure. ><
Aha! Found it.
Thank you sooo much! 😀
Okay this is probably my last download question.
Where did you get Taffy’s hair from? It’s so… Gorgeous. xD
Here you go! I love this one. 🙂
Ah! Thank you once again. It’s so pretty. 😀
*can’t wait to steal Starfruit*
Do you know – will her skintone show up properly in my game if I don’t have any mods (that I know of) that allow for custom skin tones? I run Twallan’s SP and MC, so maybe I can and I just don’t know about it… lol. Does that question even make sense? xD
Thanks ^_^
You won’t need any mods, but you will need the skin tone itself, or she’ll show up with reaper skin. The link to the rainbow skin tones is up at the top of this page. 🙂
Ooh, ok! That’s easy :3
Is it a default skin, or no?
Thank you! 😀
Just kidding… I figured it out myself xD
Thanks again :3
Where can I get the scatter gene skins?
Sorry it took me so long to reply! You can find them here.
So I downloaded Taffy, Blue, and Ursula from Heroes and Villains(and others), but today while playing I found out two interesting things through SP:
1. Taffy is apparently in the criminal career, and just got promoted to thug. I didn’t expect this to happen…..at all. 🙂
2. Blueberry married Ursula and they have 2 kids, here’s a picture of one of them. His name is Louise.
I guess that his skintone is a mixture of Ursula and Blue’s. 🙂
Haha, oh gosh, I never would have expected Taffy to be a criminal! But she is a computer whiz, so maybe she runs scams online or something. 😛 And WOW, Louise is…special…lol. I can definitely see his mother in him. O.@ Thanks for sharing the picture!
No Problem! My sim got invited over to his house and I had completely forgotten that they had gotten married(much less had kids) so I was pretty surprised. He’s definitely unique….
My memory is so bad sometimes! While playing I realized that his name wasn’t Louise, but it’s Leslie, which makes him even more interesting….. 😛
I love your ISBI, Styx. I’m glad I read your blog before I read OPB’s so that I wasn’t biased against Stormy. 🙂 Anyway, I adore Heartleigh and Butterfly. Will they be available for download?
Butterfly and Heartleigh are both available in my studio on the Sims 3 site! 🙂
Thank you! I have downloaded them and recommended them!
Can you please put Starfruit and Georgia Peach on the uploads? Thanks
Sure! They’re up there now. 🙂
Are the dogs anywhere for download? I absolutely adore Butterfly. She’s so pretty. Love the markings and face shape and colors and everything!
Thanks for the downloads 🙂
They are up in my studio on the Sims 3 site (StyxLady).
Thanks! Will go there. I am almost finished with The Moss’s soon and this ISBI is my next read. I can’t wait!
I have a problem with downloading Blueberry
I sorta have a problem downlading Blueberry
I’m sorry about that. What’s the problem you’re having?
Where can I find Starfruit’s hair?
I think it was from Anubis’s site.
I’m only on generation 1, but I’m gonna download them all and put them all in my game, that also has the Terrey’s from IDC. I’ll tell you how everyone does once they do something.
Btw, blueberry’s link seems to be broken.
or it says it was probably deleted from mediafire.
it bugs me that you have amazing skins that are no longer avalible. if you could like email the package file to me that would be great. nivelmaster@gmail.com
I’m sorry it bugs you. But I did find a recent link to the Ephemera v2.2 defaults that I use! Here it is.
Hello!
Just wanted to leave a quick note saying thank you for putting all of your resources to share with the rest of us. (The lighting mod still enthralls me, talk about gorgeous sunsets!) Also, for writing an awesomazing legacy. ^^
I wanted the paintings really bad so that inspired me to go figure out how to download a mod AND I DID IT AND I AM SO HAPPY so thank you for the inspiration and awesome simmies
Hi StyxLady. First of all, thank you for writing such a wonderful story, I hope you and your family are well and are having a Happy Thanksgiving.
I wanted to let you know that I made you a family tree for your ABC-ISBI. It follows the sim torch bearers up to Generation 7. It is here: http://postimage.org/image/e68q60qc3/ . I hope you like it. If you would like any changes made please let me know. Sorry it’s not that good, it’s my first family tree, so I’m sure there are crooked lines galore.
Oops. I just looked at it and realized that Generation 4 has a larger text, that’s because I forgot to do that Gen.’s names before I resized the image.
Here’s the edit so the text is fixed, also a torch bearer icon has been added..
http://postimage.org/image/wzz4grdxv/
Oh wow, this is amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to do that, and for all your comments on my chapters. 😀 If it’s all right with you, I’m gonna make a page for this here on my blog!
I’m glad you like it! I am thrilled that you want to make a page for it on the blog, feel free to do so.
That is pretty darn fabulous. Great job!
Thank you Jenn ❤
Can I has Pineapple? D:
I might edit her lips and skin and start a legacy with her, eyes and nose and face shape look pretty much perfect for the sim I wanted to create for this blog. Would it be ok with you if I did?
I will try to round up as many of the .sim files of the latest generation as I can and get them uploaded when I get a chance. ^^
Soooo…
this is pretty late,
but oh my god, I need your house. It looks awesome. I only build expensively furnished boxes. Can I have some links to your furniture CC? Please? Thanks!
Hmm, most of my CC I got from mysims3blog. It’s a great resource!
So, when we download the save and/or the household, would the CC furniture go with it?
If you’re downloading the save, no CC will be included. It’s just a save file.
Hi, Cait! Just wanted to say that both save files are no longer on mediafire.
Bah, that sucks.
I don’t know that I even have them anymore.
I just discovered your ISBI. It’s awesome. I love it and your sims are all so cute. The names are brilliant! I downloaded a few of them and would like the Gen 3 sims as well, but Mediafire says the files are not there anymore. Anything you could do? Thanks. Keep posting these!
I’m not sure if I still have them, since I had to reinstall the game at one point. I will look for them and see if I can reupload them when I get a chance.
OK, I posted a reply earlier, but I don’t see it, so maybe it didn’t take. It took me to an error message page, so here’s the message again:
“Ah, OK. Don’t go to too much trouble, though. I’d really appreciate it if you can find them. But if not, I can just admire them in your story :). Thanks.”
Just one more question, about the Ephemera default skins. Are they for all ages? Because I can’t find it anywhere.
Does Sugar Valley work on a mac?
@justdance983: I love your pic! Am I the only one that gets it here? 😦
Sorry for double posting, but how would it (Sugar Valley, and also Fawkes’ skins now that I think of it) be downloaded?
I can’t download any of your simmies. It says that the file is missing…
Yeah, apparently mediafire doesn’t keep files forever. T.T Unfortunately all the sim files were on my old computer, so I can’t put them back up, sorry!
That’s okay! I’ll have to live with your RSGNM sims instead. cx
Cait, I have a copy of Blackberry (founder spouse). Is it okay to upload and link him? Or would you like me to send you my version CC free?
