The People of Simbria: Sunset Valley
Well, hi there. This is a story (of sorts) that has been going on for a while, so it won't be starting with the first chapter, but it doesn't matter to much, because it didn't start with the beginnin...

Now after that introduction I'll give you two choices that I think makes the most sense...
You can start with the prologue (Chapter 0) that follows after the prologue explaining how I started this game/story...
Chapter 0: What are memories but snapshots in time?
..where we follow Ranveig Motorsen where she has a dream about some strange person called Aaron* who, as it would seem, has invented some machine that for whatever reason forces her to look back at her own childhood...
..or you can skip everything in between then and now, and continue with the latest chapter posted.
Chapter 18.1 - January 2024 - Family, lessons and a staircase
In medias res has always been my favourite way of starting stories anyway.. don't worry, you'll probably learn what you need to know anyway.. 😉
In this chapter we are at Ranveigs house - in the real sims world - where her oldest son Oliver Freddy along with his girlfriend Inge is going back for their 6th semester at university.
Robert Bråge as a teenager is still undecided about his future. Does he want to go to university and study science like his brother, or does he want to live a more free lifestyle and become and author? And perhaps maybe he is ever so slightly jealous about his two year older girfriend Margrethe getting start taking drivers lessons soon this upcoming summer. ;)
Inge makes sure to spend her last day in Sunset Valley for now wisely, hanging out in the park with her youngest sister and father.
The relationship between Oliver Freddy and Inge is as strong as ever, and Inge definately has their future mapped out... Maybe their relationship is going a little bit to strong for Ranveig still, but she has no choice but to settle with it...
..and then the kids are off again to start another semester of long hours of studying, partying and silliness..

* The character known as Aaron was at first invented solely to have a reason to look back into the past as another foundation for the story, and to bridge the gap between the original sims moving into town and the more present day sims... but then again, maybe Aaron got his own story of sorts somewhere... if you can find it... 😉.. but before you try to find it, a word of caution. That story is of a sometimes darker nature than this one, hence it is also more hidden away and won't be mentioned much here from this point onwards... (it's also not at all up to date, but I am slowly working on it.... and maybe one day I will finish it...)
