A bit of history

 When I joined TSR in 2009, I actually registered under a random name. Back then I really liked the name Killian, which is actually a french male name. Don't ask me why, I modified it a bit and made it mine.

 I left my sims game for a few years, and when I came back I decided to create. I had the choice of keeping my old account or create a new one, but I chose to stick with Kilhian. But it was still just a name, until I read in a decorating tutorial a tip about making a sim with your creator name. You pick up rocks, insects and what not to further personalize houses before sharing them.

 I had made a few houses for the Sims 1 and thought it was some nice thing to do, so Kilhian was born as a sim. She started on her own and without cheat on October 2011 as I was just starting playing the Sims 3. I only had the base game, so she had to do with a small EA starter house in Sunset Valley for a while.

 Back then I took those screenshots for my boyfriend. We are now living together, but I am glad I got all those, they are still very good memories. The quality of screenshots improves along the way :)

Kilhian and Lavar Branch

 After a while I decided to create a character with the name I use, and even though she is not my 'simself' I really like her too. She fell in love with Lavar and they got married, they have been living happily since.
Kilhian is a thief, while Lavar used to be a fireman.


How to install

Most of the time when possible I give you the possibility to install as either Sims3Pack or Package.
Pick up a format you rather use (poses can only be installed as Packages), and install it in your game:

If you use EA Launcher:

Sims3Packs
Place the .sims3pack file in your folder My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Downloads
Run the Launcher, click the Download panel on the left and select the files you want to install before pressing the Install button.
Note: You do not need to keep the file in this folder, it can be removed safely once installed and the Launcher/game is closed.

Packages
Place the .package file in your folder My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Mods/Packages
If you do not have or do not know how to set up the Mods folder, I wrote a tutorial here.
Note: If you have too many files in this folder you should consider merging them or it will make your game load and render slower. Aikea Guinea wrote a tutorial about it, see here.

If you use CC Magic:

This launcher manages both types, so you can place any .sims3pack and .package files you want in
My Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Downloads
For those who don't know about it, you can find the installation here and a tutorial there.
