The Sims 4: Lovestruck - Official Screenshot Thread!
Sul Sul, Is it appropriate to say "it's that time again" if this is the first time on a new forum? The mind boggles. Nevertheless, it's now time to spin up our official Lovestruck screenshot thread! I for one absolutely love, love, love what we've seen so far about Ciudad Enamorada and can't wait to jump in and explore more. The murals below were both personal highlights :) Show me what you got!EA_Cade2 years agoCommunity Manager5KViews30likes143CommentsThe Whittaker Saga - 1970s (updated 07/12)
I was vastly inspired when reading the decades challenge, and as a history teacher, I could not stop myself from giving it a try. Of course, true to my nature or refusing to do things by the book, the first thing I did was break the rules. How? By creating as my protagonist a single, working woman living on her own! Gasp! Why? Partly because a story popped into my head, but also, partly, to honor the many women who - by choice or necessity - actually worked, and worked hard for their living in the 1890s. We tend to forget them, but the working women were there - from the hard working farmers that we often downgrade by calling wives, as if they weren't an essential part of the economy of the farm, to the working class women working as domestic help or in the factories where they were only payed half of a man's wages. So with that, I introduce Abigail Spencer, a single, working, middle class woman in 1890s Willow Creek: As middle class there is only a few jobs available to Abigail, that of governess or that of teacher. Abigail is therefore a teacher, teaching at Willow Creek Elementary School. She lives right next door to the school, in a small shotgun house with a few chickens and a patch of land to help her make ends meet (teachers really were not payed a lot during this time either). Obviously, her biggest goal in life is to find a husband, get married and start a family so that she won't have to work. (In fact, a teacher, as well as many other working women, automatically lost their job if they got married during this time.) But to get married, she needs to find a husband. Meet Willow Creek's eligible bachelors: Matthew Godeau: Matthew is one of the richest men in Willow Creek. A bit too old to still be a bachelor he lives with his widowed mother in Ophelia house (yes, eventually this family changed their names and became the Goths. Ophelia house is named from Matthew's mother). Pro: Matthew is creative, just like Abigail, as well as a romantic and would be sure to bestow lots of attention on a wife. He lives in one of the biggest houses in town, and is a wealthy business man. Abigail would have a good life with him. Con: His mother. Ophelia is a woman set in her own ways and she is not about to let some silly girl interfere with how she runs her house! Ophelia is mean, materialistic and an overachiever. She is not likely to see some middle class teacher as good enough for her son. Add that she has raised her son to be not only creative and romantic, but also incredibly self absorbed and the household may prove hard to be comfortable with. Joseph Whittaker: Joseph is a novellist, living in the stately Whittaker house, which with time, will be turned into the well renowned Willow Creek Archive. He has no mother (a definite pro), but two very young children. A son and a daughter, from a previous marriage. Pro: Joseph is a bookworm, just like Abigail and is sure look favourably on her past as a teacher. They are also both family orientated which means they are a good match in personalities and would likely find a lot of common ground. The house is ripe with books, and Joseph's two motherless children desperately need a mother to tend to their needs. With two live in maids it's a comfortable life focused on the family and the books she so loves. Con: Joseph very much mourns his dead wife, and keeps her picture on the wall over the fireplace. Can he ever truly love again, or will Abigail forever live in the shadow of the woman he loved and lost? Loyd Brennan: Loyd is the owner of Brennan's Groceries and Dry Goods, the biggest (only) shop in town. He lives with his sister Mary and their dachshund above the store. Pro: Loyd is outgoing and friendly and easy to get along with. He's self assured, but unlike Matthew, not self absorbed. He works hard and provides a good home. As a working man he does not mind a working wife, so Abigail would do more than sit around being pretty. He loves dogs, and anyone who does cannot be bad - right? Con: Living in a store would mean working in the store. There is no way the wife of a store owner is not in that store working along side her husband. Without money for a maid, this involves not just working in the store but running the household as well. The apartment isn't really big enough for a large family and unless Mary gets married, it's bound to be crowded. Then there is the fact that she and Mary does not really get along well. Paul Heydale: Paul is a farmer, living with his entire family at Garden Essence, a farm with a cow, chickens and a whole lot of crops. They're a tight knit family who works hard for what they have. Pros: Paul, like Abigail is both creative and family orientated. He dreams of becoming a painter rather than a farmer. By marrying him, Abigail would be wrapped up in a large family who would be there for her, something she'd never had before. His family is also very friendly, and Abigail teachers his younger sister and has already met and chatted with his mother and father and really likes the entire family. Con: Marrying a farmer would be a step down the social ladder, and the life of a farmer is hard! Is Abigail cut out for working out from early morning to late evening without ever more than making ends meet? And the house is crowded as is, with Paul's parents and two younger siblings (so far). Where would more children live? Is Abigail prepared for the hard life that accompanies this choice? Now I wanted to make a poll, but apparently you cannot do this in this section of the forums. So I'll leave you with a question instead - who do you believe Abigail will most likely fall in love with and why? Matthew Joseph Loyd Paul Finally, here is my Willow Creek in 1890: *** An important note about the future postings in this story: After trying and fighting the forum to get the posts up and running as they are supposed to work, I have now decided that it's simply too much work. Instead, I have started a blog that (hopefully soon) will contain all of the chapters from here and the old forum. I am currently at 1891 and moving forwards quite rapidly. Here the posts of each chapter will be replaced by a link to the chapters in the blog as I move forwards, though I will leave any comments as they are. The massive perk with this is that I do not need to worry about editing in all images manually, and the loading time will decrease enormously without them. The process of reading is also easier at the blog - and while the blog itself is in the wrong order, I have set up a list of all chapters in chronological order for new readers as well as a search function if you are looking for a specific chapter. Another perk is that I have some new options, like character pages where you can get a summary of each of the main character in the story (warnings for spoilers) and a separate page about the challenge, how time moves. I hope I will be able include a link to the family tree as well. It will take some time to get everything set up, and I do appreciate input in the process. I do promise that the story will go on, and hope you will keep reading it and commenting on it either here or on the new blog.

Hi everyone. 🙂 This is the continuation of a story I started back in March on the old Vanilla forum. If you were a regular follower of the 'What Happened In You Game Today' thread, you already know Aurora and her little family. Her save started out as just for fun. To explore things within the game that I never had before. I was just going to share a few screenshots with captions. The original idea for this save was to only be about Aurora and her sidekick, her Bernese, Piccolo. But I realized a couple of weeks ago that, yeah, it had become a story. And it deserved its own space here on the new forum. This post and the next couple will help those of you who aren't familiar, become familiar. And since the previous updates were scattered over like 75-100 pages of the old WHIYGT thread it's a nice reminder for everyone that had been following along. The title is also a hint at another change. I'm going to start writing each update like it was an entry in Aurora's diary. I may still write something here and there in a more traditional style with dialogue though. I'm also getting ready to start the reboot of my other story and by writing this one like a diary it's a lot easier to do both and still keep this interesting. So let me introduce you to everyone. Aurora Westbrook-Carter Aurora came back to her country roots. Her parents left Chestnut Ridge just as she entered her teens. She still came back to see her grandparents during the summers. She loved those visits and getting away from the city. After graduating high school she went to art school where she honed her painting and photography skills. But she never lost her love for the quiet country life in Chestnut Ridge. Now she's back where she feels most at home. Tre Carter Aurora's husband Tre came from an entirely different background. He grew up on the streets of Del Sol Valley just like his father. His mother came from Ciudad Enamorada. Yet Tre has always fascinated by the country life. He has an abiding love for horses too. Even if his first real life encounters weren't exactly smooth. Piccolo Aurora's loyal sidekick. Peanut (l), Nashville(back), and Spirit Peanut is Aurora's champion American Saddlebred. Nashville is Tre's horse and Spirit is the newest addition to the family. **Table Of Contents** Recap Part One Recap Part Two Recap Part Three Recap Finale Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three Chapter Four Chapter Six Chapter Seven Chapter Eight Chapter Nine Chapter Ten Chapter Eleven Chapter Twelve1.7KViews22likes122CommentsShare Your Newest The Sims 4 Creations Here!

Welcome to BNS 194: Summer Designer Showdown! “Flavors of the World” – A Multicultural Festival This month, we’re celebrating the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our Sims’ world!

The Brief: Budget: None this time Lot size: 20x20 or larger. Minimum of 4 food and drink kiosks or stalls (Use any combination of in-game or cc stalls, food carts, or vendor tables.

A Maxis Fav from yesterday actually contains 2 elders that was made by someone else. The picture below is the Maxis Fav: The person, Yagatha, that actually made the elders uploaded them earlier in the day. Picture below: I wanted to know if this is okay when it comes to Maxis Fav nominations? This does not seem fair that someone is getting the credit (and honor) of the fav when they didn't create all of the sims. I would love to know how nominations are picked now and it would be great if you could look into this as well.

I was unable to edit and repair some of the pics in my original thread so I'm just starting fresh. 🙂 Plus I wanted to change the order of some of the episodes. Introduction Some of you have probably seen various pics of my sim family in the various Screenshots and What Happened threads. I just wanted to gather all those pics and create a thread to help me keep track of what was happening in my game. I've been playing this family since 2018 and what started as a Super Sim Challenge with Julianna eventually evolved into a Super Sim Family Challenge as I became attached to Julianna's and Edward's children. I usually switch off and focus on different family members depending on which career, aspiration, or pack feature I want to focus on. I move family members in and out of the main household as I play them. Edward and Julianna were both created in CAS as single households. I played Julianna for a while, had her start a relationship with Edward and they married shortly afterward. Shown above is Edward, Julianna, and their three daughters, Juliette, Hannah, and Isabel. Also Juliette's two children, Amelia and Asher, with her fiancée, Sebastian. Amelia and Asher were added to the family in anticipation of High School Years as I didn't have any school age sims in the household when that pack was announced. Juliette and Sebastian's wedding plans are still on hold. In addition to their three daughters, Julianna and Edward also have a young adult son, Theo, who was created in CAS. He was raised by his maternal grandparents. Theo and his wife, Jennifer, have 2 children. Twin toddlers named Grace and Hope. Julianna's parents, her 2 siblings and their children and Edward's parents, his 3 siblings and their children are part of the extended family.

And So We Moved, a Cantrell: The Early Years Save “Lulu,” Joseph said. Seeing her frown at his chosen nickname for her, he began again, gently taking her by the shoulders. “Louise, I know you’re in your second trimester, but not that far into it. Besides, the journey normally only takes about two months’ time. This is a tremendous opportunity for us,” Joseph continued. “Here I get peanuts for doing the same job I’m being recruited for. I’ve already been promised over 200,000 Simoleons up front, if I take the job. The only catch, it’s on Vulcan. I served some of my time as a Marine on the red planet. It’s really a lovely place. Good people, if not a tad stiff in some manner, but you’ll adapt to it. I promise. I personally know Ambassador Sarek. Oh, and his wife, Amanda, is human. She’s also a teacher.” “But we’re to live in a compound? They keep all of the human residents in a compound? I don’t like the sound of it. Joseph, I don’t.” “It’s not what you think. The Vulcans rely on Logic and have trained themselves to avoid emotional statements as much as possible. Neighborhood implies emotion by the very nature of the word. It’s a very nice neighborhood, I’ve been there. We’ll likely not see too many Vulcans there. So, you’ll have the opportunity to make some friends. Human friends.” Louise lowered her head for a moment and let out a long, audible sigh. She really didn’t want to go. Gazing up again at him again, she said, “I’ve got one very active baby with another baby on the way. Being cooped up in a small spacecraft spells nightmare for me.” Joseph’s light blue eyes were aglow at the prospects of finally getting ahead in his chosen career. Another look at Joseph and Louise relented. She did love him so. Against her better judgement, she found herself saying, “Oh, all right. We’ll give it a try. But, if things don’t work out, please tell me you have an exit strategy.” “Exit strategy? Oh, sure. Yes Ma’am.” His smile was tentative, since he had already signed a two-year contract, renewable if he performed well at the job at hand. *~~*~~*~~*~~* The trip was long and arduous. The craft, already old, had several breakdowns along the way. Having to be towed, via Tractor Beam, to a Space station equipped to make repairs took way more time than expected, its location drawing them several parsecs off course. Again, due to the availability of out-dated parts. The advanced simoleons were meant to cover their housing. Sadly, the almost ancient Skiff took most of it just to get there. They could not afford the costs of repair, let alone the expenditure of time. Repairs took weeks. Waylaid as they were, virtual prisoners in their own ship, the repairs notoriously slow, suddenly Louise found herself in labor. “Oh, Joseph, this isn’t gas at all. This is the real deal. This baby is coming now. And I mean, right now.” “But we’re still parsecs away from Vulcan. The mechanics have assured me we’ll be on our way again very soon. Can’t you wait for another hour?” “Yes, Mr. Genius, I’ll just tell the baby to put things on hold,” she said, the humor curiously lacking from her pretty face. Then narrowing her eyes as if in contact with the baby inside of her, she shook her head. “No . . . no, somehow, he’s just not listening. He says he’s done baking and wishes to come out, now.” Joseph gazed at his young wife, “I’m in trouble, huh.” *~~*~~*~~*~~* True to their word, the mechanics finished up their work and bid the Cantrell family a Bon Voyage. The ship was still slow, which left Joseph in a near panic. Soon their toddler, Aaron was walking. Louise having to chase after him, who seemed to have a very bad case of the wanderlust. Or, perhaps he was just Inquisitive. At any rate, Louise was certain the mite was intent on exploring every nook and cranny of this sad vessel. She longed for the moment she could beam down and check out the only house they could afford with the leftover funds. *~~*~~*~~*~~* Five months after their second child arrived, their craft all but drifted into Vulcan’s atmosphere, where again, a Tractor Beam was used to pull them into the active space port where they offloaded. A crew was there to secure their luggage and little Aaron’s stuffed bear, that lay neglected on the deck. When his parents were able to interpret his anxious squawks, it was soon recovered. “Heaven forbid, Bear should get left behind,” Louise said, presenting it to the tot. By the iron grip the child had on the brown, stuffed replica of the Terran mammal, peace reigned once again. Their second child, another boy they named Erik, was no longer a newborn when they finally reached Vulcan space. Emerging from the craft in the hangar, a small delegation of Vulcans and Humans greeted them. Joseph had kept them apprised of his travel woes, which phased them not at all. He was given the day off to get his family situated in their new home. The couple only saw it virtually and had contracted a builder to make an archway between the two smaller bedrooms the boys would share. Among a few other alterations. Getting a chance to tour it, though soon brought Louise almost to tears. Beaming down to see the house in person shattered her expectations. If she found being cramped in a small spacecraft for nearly eight months was a nightmare, these quarters were equally small if not smaller. Two bedrooms, as per their changes, one bath, but the entire place was just small, the rooms cramped, not at all like the pictures online. Being rather adept at photography she should have realized the angle used was in an almost deceptive way. The kitchen was a bit of a joke. Strictly speaking a one-butt kitchen--- if it was even large enough for one. They had a small island added, for more working surfaces. No laundry room, whatsoever. She had the movers place the stackable washer and dryer in the corner of the main bedroom. There simply wasn’t anywhere else it could go. Joseph quickly settled into his new job, taking over the recently vacated 5th grade class at Province Elementary School, serving the Human Compound. So on top of having to adjust to the stronger pull of gravity on this planet, the thin atmosphere, which made breathing a bit harder for them, the hotter than blazes temperature, even in winter, which dropped to nearly unbearably cold temperatures once the sun went down; she also now had a new challenge before her. Louise found herself confronted headlong with Sibling Rivalry. Being an only child herself, this was foreign to her. Yet, Aaron was clearly jealous. He had a nasty case of it, she noted. So far he contented himself to pull at little Erik’s feet whenever Louise sat down to breast feed him. Louise had to be on her guard to make certain her toddler didn’t further act out his feelings *~~*~~*~~*~~* Having learned of such beasts as the Sehlet, often domesticated to her confusion, the bear-like animal had six-inch fangs. Or worse, the known predator called Le-matya, which bore poisonous claws. She worried Aaron would wander off someday and they would forever lose him in this almost hostile and alien world. She still just didn’t understand what it was Joseph found so enchanting about this place. Despite it all, Louise found a job in the Painters Career. She was something of a prodigy, herself, when it came to translating images to canvas. She painted to relax. The more she created, the better she felt, as if driven to express herself in this manner. The fact that her work was drawing notice was nice and it did help to keep her at the easel. When she wasn’t running after Aaron, that is. He was most certainly a handful, that boy, with his rather reckless desire for adventure. She was already making her mark on the Art world, having achieved the status of Proper Celebrity. She refused to let it go to her head, and instead decided the Paparazzi who hung around outside of their little dwelling, would be her first friends in this alien place. Busy taking care of her two children, in between dealing with Morning Sickness again, she soon realized they had been a bit on the capricious side when they ‘initiated’ their new home, shortly after moving in. What were they thinking? Faced with a third child under the age of four, she worried that the Daycare wasn’t being run as well as they promised. Often, Erik came home hangry with a wet diaper and exhausted. But, could they afford a nanny? This prompted her to produce more paintings which she sold to an Art Collector, which returned many more Simoleons that just selling it straight out. All for now. Thanks for reading! :)Solved639Views14likes51CommentsHow Are Maxis Curated Items Selected Now?
Hi all 💜 For years now, I've been an avid supporter of the Maxis Fav Nomination process. I would regularly visit the forum nomination threads to recommend the talented creativity I would see week after week in the gallery. I enjoyed putting things forward for the curation reviewers and was honored when some of my nominations got selected. It seems, in these past several months approximately, that the promoted ways to share nominations are possibly not getting considered. At least, I haven't found any rhyme or reason as to how items are getting curated lately. I and others have tried on Twitter X, on the official Sims Discord server and I did even find the migrated forum threads so I've recently tried there too. Will you please explain the future of Maxis Curated Content and how to officially nominate the creations of others? I also recommend starting new threads for households, rooms and lots. It's a fresh, new forums so let's freshen up the Maxis Curation Process please. Thanks for reading and considering! 💜GLovely110 months agoSeasoned Ace434Views13likes11CommentsA Traditional 100 Baby Challenge
Thought I would start a traditional 100 baby challenge inspired by other baby challenges, but this one has a twist, you must marry your forever sim and stay with them till death and try to have at least 6 babies per generation till your sim and their generation gets to 100 Babies the old fashioned way!! I wrote up a little set of rules to follow along with. I may not post everything here but I wanted to just add the sim and who he/she is marrying at the time and how far along I've gotten. It will be a very slow play-through and will take a long time for me to complete so this is more so a look-back area for the things I've done within this challenge.. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bo_LjUpW_gT6IwmLeInAOwH-_bs54HJdcSULSgJP6dA/edit?usp=sharing Meet Kolby West He is marrying Nalani Mahi'Ai and their Generation will start here!!

(Note: This happens in alternate simverse, there is no lore between her and runaway gentleman in Chestnut here. 😆 ) One Winterfest, Clement was walking around Henford. He was sad, as unlike common believe, there was no Mrs Frost. He was lonely. But then someone walked by him... This was it!!!! Love at first sight! But oh no... his compliments only made things worse! What to do now? He met the sister of said Lady, Agatha, who told him more.. "You cannot win her heart, it's too cold and bitter now." "But if you use the time machine, travel back in time, maybe then..." "Time machine? Ho ho ho, what a fairytale..." Clement laughed. "Hmm.. and some people don't believe in Santa Claus!" Agatha replied with strange look in her eyes. "Fair enough, show me." "You go in to the booth and dial this number... but you can stay for one week only." Clement was not believing this still. but gave it a try... he stepped in the booth and dialed.... And all the sudden boot started to sparkle, later he stepped out. It was summer.. he was young... thin!!!!! He needed clothing! "Way better!" And his luck was amazing... he saw pretty girl walking to him... who looked familiar! Time flew..... they got to know each other.. But.... before Clement knew, he had to return back... he could only hope he had done enough to change things. When back in present day, he met Agnes again. This time it all went well. She even said he reminded her about young man she had known for a short time and always regret she had not asked his number. It was wonderful! Later, when he met Agatha again, he thanked her for everything! Apologised he did not believed the booth being a time machine at first place. "What time machine? You must of had interesting dream, young man. That is just a regular phone booth what don't even work!"67Views12likes5CommentsThe Disney Princess 10 Gen Challenge!
Welcome to... THE DISNEY PRINCESS 10 GEN CHALLENGE! INFO: This challenge is based on the Disney Princess franchise and movies. Storytellers can follow the original stories or you can just roll with it. Some areas of this challenge ask for gender-specific heir/heiresses, this can be easily changed out if you're playing patriarchy or matriarchy. This challenge follows the original rules of the 10 Generation Legacy - although some rules may vary. This challenge can be completed with only the base game, though some DLC may improve your experience. Update: This challenge has been slightly updated as of February 2025. Please feel free to suggest any further edits to the generations and I will look through these and adjust the rules accordingly. Generation 1: Snow White "I'm wishing for the one I love to find me today" Founders have humble beginnings, so what's better than Snow White? To start, create Snow White. Storytellers may create her as a teenager and make her evil stepmother, but this is not a requirement. When Snow White becomes a young adult, this story begins. - Must be female - Must have 7 children (dwarfs) - Each child must have one negative trait (e.g Gloomy, Glutton) - Each child must have the same baby daddy - Each child must achieve something before their teenage years - this can be achieving the happy infant or toddler trait, achieving a high grade at school, or achieving an aspiration. - Snow may never answer the door to strangers or talk to elderly women Optional extras - each child must age up with at least one positive character trait.

Hey guys, With it being pride month I wanted to start a discussion small or big to share your pride builds, sims, storylines and more. I want a safe space to share this and kindess, the last few days I have seen so many comments online regarding pride month and their celebrations taking place that are hurtful, upsetting and for me hard to understand why! And it made me realise whilst I am not LGBTQ+ myself it is so important to be an aly in any way you can, and to start any discussion no matter how small! Hope to see some comments & photo's below or head over to my gallery page and share :D On the gallery all builds are under #shandylou97 as I cannot use the underscore :D My Pride Month Build!! My legacy sim's daughter Aria (pictured below) is moving out with her new wife. I wanted something super fun, bright and pride themed for them to get started :D It is on the gallery and is also a tiny home (Gallery as Pride Build - shandy_lou97) <3 - #shandylou97shandy_lou972 months agoSeasoned Hotshot159Views11likes10CommentsMy little gameplay moments.
I already posted about my sim in my main save in favorite families thread, but I will post every now and then here too. My playstyle is very slow, some would say boring, but we each on our own way 🙂 Its first week of spring, she will spend weekdays for whole sim-year in Selvadorada. Only travels home to city at every weekend, to pay bills, go to festivals, and Sunday lunch every week in Hendford with her Aunt and Uncle, who are closest to parents she has 🙂 Her goal is not even go to jungle yet, just learn the culture, dance, and get to know locals. And top archeology skill. Simple living lot trait in her hut, so she has few plants and rooster and a chicken. Mainly now she learns rumbasim, (lots to learn, lol) learns many magic books she has, but not yet learned (slow play, spellcaster) or is fishing.1.8KViews11likes82CommentsUnder The Tartosan Sun
Welcome everyone to my little love story.🙂 It began almost two years ago with just one sim, Danielle Chabert. When I started I had no idea it would grow to be as big as it is. I wasn't sure if there was going to be more than a handful of chapters. Now it's my baby and it has a loyal group of readers who've grown to be like my family. Danielle grew up in Willow Creek along with her best friends Summer Holiday and Liberty Lee, and their guy pal Travis Scott. Their families lived on the same block in Courtyard Lane and both parents and kids became close friends. Danielle's mom inspired her to embrace creativity but where her mother Jennifer painted, Danielle's favorite form of expression was writing. She got her hopeless romantic nature from her mom and dreamed of becoming a romance novelist. Danielle grew restless in the early days of her career and decided to throw caution to the wind and seek her romantic muse in the capital of romance, Tartosa. She found her muse, but she also found the love of her life in Tartosa, aspiring actress Londyn Huntley. Summer was likewise inspired by her mother but instead of the arts Summer and her mom Brenna live to cook. Summer dreamed of making big in the culinary world and she worked in kitchens all across the foodie paradise of Willow Creek (in my mind a sims New Orleans). She quickly began making a name for herself. After high school she and Liberty decided to share a place with their friend Travis. Summer was attracted to Travis but he barely noticed. Liberty meanwhile was going nowhere fast in her career with the Sims Space Agency. Travis, it would turn out, wasn't the friend they thought. Now, not only does Danielle call Tartosa home, so Summer and Liberty. Liberty even has a new career that is anything but stagnant. Danielle wasn't the only one to find her soulmate, so did Liberty and Summer. The cast of characters has grown and grown and many of them have found their way, not only into my heart, but those of my readers. I look back and shake my head at how my storytelling has grown and improved. I'm sure as I copy the old chapters from the original Sims forum over here I'm going to cringe at those early attempts at writing, but it's also fun to see how it's changed over that time too. I hope you enjoy the story. It will continue here and on the original forums until the move later this year and then it will be on the new Sims forum and here as well. I'm going to start out by bringing over two chapters a day from the original forums. As the chapters get longer I'll cut it back to one a day and go from there. If you all like them and don't mind the longer reads I can always step up the pace. And absolutely feel free to leave comments afterwards and I will do my best to reply or at least give some XP to say thank you for reading.1.8KViews11likes170Comments
