@Sprottenham Oh well I'm very glad your english teacher wasn't that bad! I don't remember any other creepy teachers, we were very lucky and had many teachers with a lively sense of humor which would make their lectures come to life, they were gifted and knew how to capture an audience! Of course we had boring ones as well! Ick! lol
I thought Nadia, was a Russian name. :) I'm more familiar with Russian names, but I really do like Scandinavian, French, Irish, Scots, German, as well as down under the equator! I think it's the sound of the languages that first grabs me and then when I hear my language spoken with their accent I , well I really like that, a boring sounding language suddenly sounding exotic and lovely! so pretty! I look for movies made in other countries on Netflicks and Prime so I can hear it, and read the subtitles.
sorry editted because I somehow forgot how to do a spoiler LOL
Oh I think it must also be fast typing. I have to still hunt and peck and look at my fingers and I Still make so many typos, even while ?Looking at them! my fingers must be sneaky devils and have a mind of their own!
Ah well her name is Selena Savage, In Bridgeport. if ever you want to make her come rob you! LOL Be sure to let me know!!!
Yes Hetal looks very similar to her Mother Jin, they are both EA made, green faced homeless in Moonlight Falls!
Max gave (in the story) the boys the Mad Scientist career reward as a gift! haha so the guns pop out of thin air when you click on an object and choose 'perform experiments '! That fire outcome luckily doesn't happen often! Usually it will make a pleasing or displeasing outcome to the object being experimented on! It's really fun!
hahaha I don't know why they took so long to notice the Fire! The teens were too busy dancing and having a good time, I guess! Priorities!!!
Yes that was 27 teen guests, and sleeping bags! And the amazing part was No lag on the lot!!! I couldn't believe how lucky I was! Now I have to probably feed them all before school!
It was a fun party for them but not wild-wild like the parties my teens have in Riverview, they would stay up All night, and also be rowdy in the house, playing guitars in the parents bed room :D
Thank you for your comments and especially your thoughts on story writing! I really appreciate it!!! :)

Ah, Yes I understand you saying there needs to be a conflict or something bad, but that is hard for me to write for this little bubble town, where every face looks so angelically innocent! LOL :D Even the Evil ones will give a cute innocent look when idle, and I think ohh see, he's really not so bad after all! :D
I think for Rocky's family the conflict or 'thing to solve' is the boy's size because it gets them in trouble at times and how to get them normal sized again, and to be vampires to see if it will increase their intellect, or go wrong, but they are too young to be bitten so they need to find help from someone willing to help them.
The matter of the Tesla's disappearance, yes it will eventually be solved ---- I mean we didn't find out about Professor Snape until near the end of the book! :D More clues will be coming as I go from playing one household to the next until all the residents have been played.
I was going to have the poisonings as the main conflict, but it was not well received, except for Joy, the family oriented teen, becoming suddenly barren did have a surprising response.
When Octavio poisoned the concession drinks, and planning to poison the towns water supply, It was met with the wanting him to be caught and done away with or locked up immediately. Not all, of course, but I was influenced by some reactions. so that type of reaction, for me, it was like ohhhh This Octavio fella is not welcomed or wanted in the story, so this was a bad idea of mine! So, I felt I couldn't let that be my ''main conflict until the end,'' as I wanted to, even though I saw it being 'ok' , in others stories, without such complaints.
so it was another mysterious happenstance for me to try figure out why. I have an autism that makes it a bit hard for me to know what people mean, and especially why they are saying certain things, and I know it's also sometimes hard for me to be understood.
so Anyway, I finally just figured, let it go, it's just yet another thing that's not liked, so what else is new?! :D Just go play a different house! :D But then, Luckily for me, Ergo mentioned she could envision the town hero Victor saving the day (She has great ideas, and is very encouraging, and funny) so I thought that was pretty brilliant and apropos to the town story, and had him do it!
Oh that ^ was toooo long! OK so my point, lol yes there was actually a Point! Was to ask your thoughts about the missing Tesla's. Would/Could the vanishing of the Tesla's be a big enough mystery or conflict, even though it is in the back ground of the story? I don't want it to be the foremost thing in the story, because he main focus is the different families and their lives. each having something they strive for, but only some get to achieve it. My idea is to keep the vanishing more as a mystery in the background with just a few new clues, as time goes on.
My original purpose is to play the entire town, and each sim is watched, studied and their personality developed according to their facial expressions, thoughts, wishes and crazy things they do, with as little of my direction as possible. Thereby letting the sims make the story! Not tremendously exciting, since they all are so nutty, but really really fun for me to watch! :D
Yes it Is crazy Good!!! now just stop it and accept it!!! >:) :) :smiley:
