Requested username: CurlyRose
Reason for changing: I really really REALLY don't want to see my current name. There are some bad memories making me crazy.
Funny story: I dreamed a dream yesterday
When moon was high and night worth sleeping
I dreamed that my name ever changed
I dreamed that manager allowed changing

Then I was sprung and so glad
And comments were made and used and wasted
There was no humor to be paid
No comment uncommented, no reply unreplied

But the mornings come at dawn
With their gleams soft as lavender
As they tear my hopes apart
As they turn my dreams to sham
I dreamed that my name changed yesterday for real! I was sooooooo excited to wake up and checked here but nothing changed...... it was just a dream... So tried to change 'I Dreamed a Dream' of Les Miserables lyrics to my situation(original lyrics stuck in my head all day long) for another funny story challenge. You may not believe this, but it took me 3 hours! (If that lyrics are not funny, it can be new funny point to take 3 hours for this... ha! )Yes, I'm a person kind of 'No Sense of Humour' in terms of Sims3. If there is the last career I would not choose, that is the Comedian. Lylics might be awkward because of my unfluent English. I don't know whether my former request was rejected or just it takes more time, so I just re-post and try one more time. If I failed this time either, next time will be...... I don't know, it's too hard for me to find 'humor'(especially in english!). Oh, right, if I miss something to change the name, please someone let me know. Sometimes I interpret wrong way, so maybe there is something I missed and don't know. (Or some jokes are okay, too. Teach me!)
Anyway, hope it's funny enough this time... please...plz plz plz!


Good luck

Requested username: killmewithbleach

Reason for Changing: I don't really know why I chose a Satanic name as a first choice but I totally regret it. ok. NOW FOR THE STORY WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR:

THIS... is the story of Bleach...

the Potato Queen.

--------------------------------------------

Once upon a time there was a potato kingdom in a potato land far far in potato space on a potato island in a potato universe in made by the gods Potatois and Pogauius. From Potatois came everything, as he was himself Potaois and that was not just a name, but an chatoic thing that came with his presence. From everything, there was a goddess created, Pogauius who basically

**FLIPS 1000 PAGES OF STORY OF EPIC BATTLES AND WORLD WARS AND THINGS**

So after bleach won the war against Spud II of Foot, she/he was crowned king/queen and the United Nations of Petetes lived happily in unison and harmony for a very long time until..

**FLIPS 78 PAGES**

"I know now what I must do," bleach said, his/her square eyes squaring harder that General Levi Captain's ever did, "I must...

Regain Power. I must be named. I must..."

----------------------------------------------------

It's actually a pretty decednt story when I take my time to actually write all the good dramatic parts but the point is...
I NEED IT CHANGED OK *cries*

I will spare your lives if- I mean. ... .... ....... . . .... um. .... the QUEEN will spare your life if you change my username.

shhhh
yes im okay
no im not on anything
what
no im not lying
*rolls away*

ily <3


I agree that the original name should be lost forever.

Hopefully I'm going to start creating more things and becoming more involved in the community (I took a several year break from The Sims) and I don't want to have such a cringe-worthy username to be known by. Thank you !!
Funny Story: In 10th grade Italian class this kid was able to connect his laptop to the speakers in the room next door. He used the Google Translate audio feature to play "Is this the Krusty Krab?" over it and the class was trying to do an audio lesson. He was never caught but the other class did suspect it was someone from my class. He did it several times that year.

Reason for changing: Weeeeeell, Long story short, Mortia has been my gaming username for years now, and I think I went through a fit of madness after learning that it was already taken here on MTS and instead went with a name that my 11-year old self would have ADORED. The me now, not so much.

OR MAYBE

"The girl blinked desperately to clear the sweat that was trickling down her face, mingling with the tears that poured freely as she realized what was about to happen. The tiny office was stifling in the East Coast summer heat and she had just typed out that username for the fun of it. Seeing the silly name made her giggle, she had never intended for it to stick. Why, WHY had she walked away for even a moment? Was the temptation of that ice-cold lemonade worth the pain of living with such a stigma? She moved slowly towards the keyboard, her eyes never leaving those of the individual who threatened to destroy her online gaming street cred with a single stroke. She could see the monitor now, she was close, the "Enter" button hadn't been pushed yet. There was still time! Things were not yet irreversible!

He watched her through narrowed eyes as she inched closer. Surely she didn't think she would win. She never won. This was his world and he decided what and how things were done. She woke when he demanded it. Fed him when he was hungry. He was the Master of this domain and if things didn't go the way she planned, well, that was her fault for thinking that she was in charge for even a second. She was so close now. She must be feeling hopeful. Hopeful that this could all be reversed. "Silly human", he sneered as he brought his paw down on the Enter key with a graceful thump.

"Thank you for joining Mod The Sims, rachiefase!"

The girl collapsed as the realization hit home. "I wish he had just peed in my shoes", she sobbed.

The End.

Reason for changing: I'd like a more unique & playful name to represent myself and creations with (I also created this one when I was like... 12 or something... ) . I've recently become really interested in developing traits, and perhaps it'll end up being my "niche" who knows. People in real life are complex and interesting and I think it's fun to develop unique personalities in the sims as well. I currently have a small list in my ADHD trait's description of planned future traits, and a much larger list offline for other possible ones ranging from very in-depth to in-depthLITEafied (if that makes sense) to simple but still unique. You can't just a book, or food, or even a sim by it's cover :P. EA has really gotten into this emotion system with The Sims 4 that has me quite excited. All of my traits will all have their own random buffs, boosts, anti-boosts.. there is so much potential!!! My traits will never just be an icon and a title to slap on your sim!

...Okay so to sum that crazy nonsense up, SweetJalapeno because it not only suits me, but it suits my fascination with unique traits and sims.

Thank You!

Requested username: Bubblebeam
Reason for changing: Snuffles has been my username for 16 years, and I suppose I've grown out of wanting to use it now that I'm in mid 20s. Mostly it reminds me of my deceased dear cat Travis from whom I thought of the name Snufflepaws. Sometimes it's a good sort of reminder, other times not. That's my primary reason to request this change.

Thank you and have a nice day.

EDIT Socially Awkward gave me an idea. I always knew this would come in handy one day.

One hour later, another boat came and asked if he wants to be saved. The man repeated, "No, God will save me." The boat then sailed away like the first boat. The man eventually drowned and died. He then came to heaven and proceeded to see God. He asked, "Why didn't you save me, God?"

God's annoyed answer was, "You fool, I sent you two boats to save you!"

I use my new, requested, username on various other games and forums so this change would be a consolidation of that. Also, just in case you are curious, 'AltClut' is the ancient Brythonic name for Dumbarton Castle in Scotland, it means 'rock of the Clyde'

Many thanks!

So this is my request for my name to be changed to: ourladyplumbob (exactly like that)

Funny story: My dad had cooked us all dinner, and he had cooked something special for my mum, because it was their anniversary (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) was this his plan all along??). As he was serving her, his shorts literally, suddenly just fell down round his ankles. They just...popped off. So he was standing there, in front of my mum, holding her food, wearing only an apron, t shirt and pants. It took a few second for any of us to register what just happened and we were a bit like Then we realised what just happened and we BURST out laughing. My dad went bright red and scurried away, with his shorts still round his ankles, to try and pull them back up but I think something fundamental in them snapped (me too ) and he had to change. The food was cold by the time we got round to eating it.
Needless to say, I will never let him forget it, and to this day I still randomly burst out laughing thinking about it.
(I hope this was acceptable, writing is tricky for me.)


That was certainly a memorable dinner!

Hey! I was wondering if I could have my name changed to Terminathan :D


Funny Story: So, I was on my way to school on my bike with my friend josh. There was this giant hill we always raced down on the way. On this day, I was definitely more tired than normal and hadn't had breakfast that day.
Anyway, onto the story, We both started to ride down the hill. He was going way faster than me and in front, Then I saw this dog crossing the road in front of me. I tried to stop the bike as fast as I could but it just went out of control.
I was swerving left and right trying to get my bike to slow down, luckily by this time the dog was safe. After a few seconds of me getting control of my bike, this guy opened his front gate (obstructing the whole path) I smashed right into it and flew into a patch of grass. As it happened my face scraped across the dirt leaving the bike laying on top of me. by the time I had gotten up, my mouth was filled with mud and I started gagging. My friend had already passed the hill and was waiting for me to arrive at school...
I walked home in shock, looking as if my face was in a pile of dog shit. I got to my house and my parents started to laugh at me calling me poophead (as a joke) luckily I got to stay home that day.

Note: I always cringe thinking of this moment...

Name redacted because it does need a change

Reason:
* wipes tear from eye * I... I have a very dramatic reason for wanting to change my name.

It all started last week. I was sitting around and thought, "You know... I'm getting bored of the name Oonice. It's not my real name, so why not change it to another fake name?"
The search began. I wanted to base my name off of a word- Siren. Those bird-women that lure people to their deaths. "Perfect," I thought.
It took hours to find a combination of letters that someone else did not already have but also keep it some ways away from the actual word.
Senira.
A few others came up when I googled it, but they had no posts or it was their first/last name.
Perfect.
I created a profile picture and banner for my accounts.
I changed every other social media username to Senira.
But as soon as I thought I was done- I remembered ModTheSims.
I traveled around the website only to find that I had to post a thread requesting the change.
And here we are now.

If this is not funny enough have this picture:



Quote:
Thank you for your time.
-Oonice ( Hopefully Senira soon )

I saw them running all over the places and they called them mostly Suzy. I told him you cannot toy me with Suzy am not listening.... He did some thinking few days later he asked me how about Sue? Me :lovestruc yay...!

Sometime later we went out and one evening before we were ready to go I wanted to assure if he liked my new outfit and that's what he said: Miss Suelady wherever you go I will follow you :lovestruc.

Well after 10 years it was over yet we still talk sometime as friends... Not a happy end but a wonderful moment in my life

My nickname became my avatar in the digital world.

When I joined the Sims Community I called myself simply Suelady but changed it later in sueladysims (The simlish version of Suelady) so that I can be easily found and i wanted to add to my name a simlish touch for me going through our SimsCommunity as Sims Version of the real Suelady.

I guess my backstory is a bit funny and I simply ask to add the word sims to suelady so that it's sueladysims and I can be easily found by my followers over all social network places with my already established name sueladysims!

Now I can say my backstory has just transformed into simlish - like beem me up, Scotty

Thank you in advance

A pastor was in a tour group when the weather got too bad for their plane to land at the airport. They were diverted to another airport, but before they arrived they were diverted again because there was a bomb threat at the airport they were heading for. Now the plane was running low on fuel. When they were given another quick brush-up on what to do if the plane had to make an emergency landing (They don't call it a "Crash" while you are still on the plane) everyone got a bit tenser. Finally one of the passengers looked over at the pastor. "You're a pastor, aren't you?" he asked. The pastor admitted that yes, he was. The other passengers gathered around. "Do something religious!" They looked at the pastor with hope in their eyes.

So the pastor took up a collection.


Good luck. I understand wanting that original name gone.

When I first created this account, I intended to use it for downloading only; but in recent years I've actually participated in the community discussions. The name I selected was the name of a character I played on a MUSH 15 years ago, but no longer has any association with who I am or what I do. It also sounds male, and I am not male, so I would like something more gender neutral that reflects my current self and interests. 'Sparky' is a nickname for an electrician, which is what I do for work, and that's why I am requesting the name change to 'SparkySays'.

And now for a funny story! It's kind of gross, though, be forewarned.

Last summer I was working on a job without indoor plumbing. As I stood up after using the porto-john I heard the dreaded PLOP of something falling into the blue water. After I checked my pockets, sure enough, my pencil and my tic tester were missing. (A tic tester is a device a little bigger than a pen which you use to tell whether wires are energized, so you don't shock yourself.) https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-T...-1SEN/100661787 I looked down and the pencil was floating in the water but I didn't see the tic tester anywhere. After I looked around inside the can, and looked around on the ground outside, I concluded the tic tester must have fallen in as well.

It wasn't a big deal at all as they're not very expensive and anyway I could just get my contractor to buy me another one. So I shrugged my shoulders and carried on with my day, and I didn't think about it again until the next day at lunch...

...when my co-worker who sat across from me at the break table walked up carrying a tic tester. "Did anyone lose these?" he asked. I perked up thinking maybe the tic tester hadn't fallen in after all! "Where did you find that?" I asked him.

"It was on the ground outside the biffy," he said.

Then I saw that he also had a pencil in his other hand. I was confused for a moment because I KNEW that fell in.

Then remembered that the biff company had come out to clean the toilets that morning.

And I realized with slowly dawning horror what must have happened:
they sucked the pencil and tic tester out when they cleaned the biffs...
and left them on the ground...
and he found them there...
and picked them up...

"Uhhh... I think that fell in," I told him, scrunching up my face and trying not to show how grossed out I was.

He set the pencil and the tic tester on the table. ON THE TABLE. WHERE WE EAT LUNCH.

"I... think that fell in," I repeated, a little louder "so... maybe don't put it on the table?"

He picked them up again. "So you don't want it?" he asked.

"No!" I said, way too harshly, and had to moderate myself: "No. But thank you."

He took them away somewhere else and, thanks be to the deity of your choice, I never saw them again.

THE END.


Good luck with the name change.
