Mary Kendall, A Ghost Story
@CravenLestat gifted me a ghost sim with a sad story. This is his story about how she became a ghost. The Mary Kendall Story :( Mary was a only child born to a poor family from the town o...

You’re welcome, @bekkasan. :)
Your playthrough with Christopher and Anabelle does sound fun! I have always meant to do more with ghosts, but you know how it is with TS3—it has such scope that even after years of playing there are still so many aspects to explore.
Oh, yes! I’ve saved so many Sim-related lists over the years—names for future characters, for builds, for bands, lists of potential book titles in various genres—you “name” it! :mrgreen: I may have an obsession with names and finding the perfect one. :joy: I definitely think you have that with the name of Mary’s home. <3
I am rather fond of grungy and distressed-looking builds, although I like to keep mine that way. I’m glad you like renovating though, because you have certainly given Damien quite the daunting task! :grimace:
I love that Mary was able to surprise and offer you an even better direction than you had originally planned. That sort of serendipity is an awesome gift to a writer! :)
RL/work must always come first, and the creative process has its own timeline, so no worries about writing more slowly or having obligations. We all want you to have the space you need to tell us this tale in the best way you can, and you’re doing a great job! :star:
But here I am babbling when I see you have more chapters posted! :p
BRB... Must read! xD

Oh, wow! Damien is a house-cleaning fiend! I could use such a man! :lol:
I love how you have replaced only the broken sections of the floor. The contrast with the old floor is startling and gives a good indication of how the old place could look once all the renovations are done. I agree with Damien's assessment of the flooring though; better to have something solid so as not to detract from the patterns in those beautiful stained glass windows! And I like that you’re using items from the Club Vaindenburger set as his chosen living/office furniture. It really seems to suit the home, as well as Damien’s personality and his PI profession. Still a lot of work left for him to do though, especially since the contractor and his crew refused to finish the job. :|
There’s a spell in the attic to hide Mary’s door?? :astonished: How intriguing! Now I wonder if that local witch might have a counterspell/potion to reveal what has been hidden... :o
I wonder who put that memorial there too! And I wonder about the ghost gnomes... or rather, the ghosts they contain. I understand Damien not wanting to be surrounded by spirits, but I hope they are okay. And I do wonder if Damien did get all of them... I suspect not, but at least having fewer of them around means he might catch a break and get some things accomplished. For now, it’s the woods that shall be haunted instead! :warning: Beware possessed pine trees! :joy:
Damien, you have mail, lol. I also like that front door; I just chose that same one for my current build, so it stood out. xD And such a beautiful rainbow shining through the falling snow—a snow-bow! :love:
Uh-oh. What did you do, Mary?? :hushed:

I... I did not expect Mary to do that! :lol: I suppose it’s because she has been quite direct with scaring the other living people away, and this is passive aggressive by comparison. It’s almost as if she’s not sure if she wants to go that route with Damien... How interesting! :sunglasses:
But what a mess you have made, Mary! :lol: Poor Damien. He is just so expressive; those are some great emotions you've captured in these images. But there he goes, right back to cleaning again. Gotta love a practical man who just does what needs to be done. Those recolored WA sand piles were a wonderful idea. I used to use those plus the fog emitter snowfall codes for wintry pictures before the Seasons EP was released. And nice touch combining them with the puddles too. :+1: I really enjoyed how you documented all these little details!
Aww! Mary feels bad and is helping him clean up the mess! <3 But man, did she ever trash that house. :naughty: If ever a tornado and a blizzard combine, it should be named Mary! :lol:
OH! Now she knows Damien is there because of her! She seems curious, but still undeterred from her plans. And Sherlock is a great name for that bird. :lol:
So, she’s going to focus on finding Liam instead of more scare attempts, is she? Hmm. :wink: And Jamie is coming soon, but will Mary be there when he shows up? It might be kind of hard to hunt a ghost if she isn’t at home. :p OFC, there is always the potential for things like ghost-binding... :fearful:
These two both come across as very determined and set in their ways. So, what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? :wink: Looking forward to seeing what surprises Mary may have up her ghostly sleeves, and how Damien deals with them all! :smiley:
