We're going to reach 600 members pretty soon so I thought I'd do a little ice-breaker thread to get the conversation rolling and help some of the newbies open up a bit!  (Though you oldies should answer too!) So, how did you hear about Equus-Sims? What made you want to finally take the plunge and sign up? What plans do you have now that you're a member? |

For me it was that I had seen sims 3 pets on YouTube and being a horse freak had decided to explore the horsey stuff I found the equus sims just before this one and then the reason I joined was because of Luna with her epic stable and some of the cc as I could not really explore without a account. Then bam I kind of just kept on going, Luna with her pancakes is still a massive inspiration to me tho  My plans are to start my stables (and build them ) then create a Swedish warmblood line and to make some cc for your barn ( like I’m planning to do custom trailers for shows and to park in your parking lot ) for all to enjoy! |

I discovered ES when it was just one or maybe two years. At the beginning. But I was too young to clearly understand english, but that, I think that evrything is okay ! Sometimes it's hard because we don't have the same wording (French-English) but it's a way to learn for me. I decided to sign up when this plateform was created : I don't feel good on the others, maybe because of all the information you have to know, to learn and to understand. This one is clear so, that's why I'm here ! As a member, I want to participate to shows with my babies horses, without pressure. I will try to develop my own Egyptian Sport Horse line, to sell maybe one or two of them to see them in Jumping, Dressage.. And I'm hurry to see 600 little heads on this forum ! Early welcome for all of them |

It's a little fuzzy since it's been so long ago, but I think I was looking for CC for sims 3 horses and I found A's Morning Star Equestrian site. From there I think I somehow managed to find equus sims 1.0 and Lawrence Equestrian Center. I don't remember how long it took me before I signed up but I've been around for a long long time.
On this forum I had hoped to start fresh with an uncommon breed and make it popular without the pressures of competing, but now I'm not so sure of what direction I want to take. I just like seeing everyone else's horses and voting in competitions.

Funny enough we started out as a cc site so I’m not surprised that’s how many of you found your way here |

I think, I found Equus Sims via the Equus Community, which might've been via Slack. I've been around since the launch of ES shortly after the previous forum went up. No spectacular stories here, I've joined because the role play on here is more important then on EC 
Just as on EC, I'm working with the horses from Iron Crest, to get their stories moving a bit more!

I've been stalking ES since I could finally run TS3 + Pets on my computer, which was about 2014 I think? [Edit: no, it was ealier, most likely 2012] Mainly for all the awesome CC. Then I quit playing sims for couple years. I re-discovered ES in late 2016, after the split. I've tried HARPG on deviantart before, but being too lazy to draw everything I though making it in game will be way faster and easier (oh, naivety). 1.5 years later I'm still struggling to finish my facilities and be reasonably active with my horses XD

I can't remember exactly how I ended up here, but I think I was just searching for some equine-themed cc for Sims 3 and then found the old forum we had in 2014. So I've been here for over four years now! Time flies fast.

Gosh it's been so long and we've come so far! I bought sims 3 back in 2012 only because I saw there were horses in the game. I started off on the pets board of the actual sims 3 and met a lot of really great people there who first introduced me to the buying/selling roleplay aspect and from there I made my way over to the SFS western eventing forum (which is inactive now) and eventually to equus-sims 1.0. From there I played until 1.0 came to an end. I've told this story so many times already but I was banned when I made the mistake of revealing myself to be the ripe old age of 12 years old (just a few months shy of 13 the legal age). I stopped playing for a few months just in time for the release of 2.0 where I ended up playing under at least 4 different names because of my indecisiveness. I ended up quitting a little bit after that but finally came back last July after a couple years gone and everything was so different! I'm currently on a bit of a hiatus but I'm so glad to be back on proboards. Love the nostalgia  |

You know... I've been on the various Equus forums for so long now I can hardly remember. It mostly likely was in a search for horsey CC.

My plans are to start my stables (and build them ) then create a Swedish warmblood line and to make some cc for your barn ( like I’m planning to do custom trailers for shows and to park in your parking lot ) for all to enjoy!
