The Watcher Watches
54 The Watcher Watches: The Families The title always makes me laugh, remembering Peter Sellers, in the movie 'Being There', say to Shirley MacLaine "I like to watch" ! :D Wel...

@DivaDoodle Yes, Nadia is probably a Russian name. I meant that the person to me looked recognizable as a Scandinavian. :P
"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!!!" <-- Aha, I'll be on the lookout for her when I load up Bridgeport (haven't played in that town yet... ), if she has the same name in my Norwegian language version.
"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!" <-- That is pretty amazing!
Now I will have to get that bag of ice cubes ready... ;)
267 The Watcher Watches: Rocky & Sunny's house. ~~ Party Aftermath ;) ~~
Hmm, why is Alfred going to hack Jins computer? Does he think she has something to do with the disappearing Teslas? Now it sounds like I'm talking about stolen cars... :P
Haha, there are all those sleeping bags again. Your sims should be happy it doesn't rain in your world. :smiley:
Oh, those different timelines again, but I think I get it now, without any further explanation. ;)
Amscray! Haha, thats a new word for my dictionary. :P
Wow, yeah, now that you mention it, Jed has a pretty big head, too...
Ah yes, probably true about intellect and wisdom.. no use in being intelligent if you're a fool! ;)
I hope the kids think thoroughly about this vampire thing.
267 The Watcher Watches: Rocky & Sunny's house. ~~ Les Vampires ~~
That evil gaze Miriam has towards Rocky and Sunny as she walks by....
..leave it to a nice toddler to soften everyones heart. ;)
Oh, here goes.. now they boys will be vampires. I find it strange, however, that they don't drink the potions, but have them smashed at their feet. :P
"Haha, for some reason I was envisioning bats and red smoke, but I guess that's a bit dramatic!" says Jed. <-- Hehe, excactly. This reminds me, I just watched this british horror movie the other day (called Byzantium... for inspirational purposes... well, it wasn't very horrific to me, but it was labeled as horror) with vampires that lived for centuries, bats and even streams of blood and everything...
Anyway, that was a quick and easy way for the boys to become vampires. No bites or blood or cave on a black desolated island necessary. ;)
268 The Watcher Watches: Rocky & Sunny's house. ~~ Just an ordinary morning. :D ~~
Hehe, thats one of the silly things of this game, how smashing something repeatedly with a hammer makes it upgrade. ;) If only I could do that in real life.. :P :P
But anyway, so it looks like the teenagers will need to wait until they are adults to feel the full effects of vampirism.
Oh yeah, I would probably leave the occult too if my mother turned to claw up the furniture (!) :P What a bizarre thing... Mr. van Goulds decision is understandable...
Prince Albert, hmm? What is he prince of?
"Ohhhh that's a rather nice sensation, actually" says the Prince. <-- I bet you Sunny also really liked that..
Oh yeah, thats some teeth their, Prince. Now, stay far away from me, will you.. :P
Hehe, Dot is weird but cute, going to the alchemy shop to dance. ;)
Now what could Fabian be reading thats so intriguing, hmm?
Spoiler
Oh, I don't think conflict in a story has to be a literal conflict, or someone fighting or something. It can be anything from the most minor thing, to something big like war...
I think you just need a character, that character wants something and has to overcome something to get what he/she wants.
John wakes up in the morning. John is hungry. John wants to eat. John walks over to the refridgerator, but finds its empty...
That could be a story... :P
I saw one of those youtube videos the other day, and the main point I got from that was to focus on characters. Give them personalities, different goals (major and minor), put them into a world and hopefully, a conflict and a storyline will follow.. :P Its always beneficial (and sometimes fun and interesting) to get into a characters head, and from there figure out their course of action. Or something like that. Then the characters write the story.. and it starts to feel like it gets a life of its own! A very fascinating experience. ^_^
The Tesla disappearance, and not revealing it right away is a good thing, because it makes me wonder and think what happened to them?? So I have to come back and read to figure it out....
Hmm, but sometimes, if the story (a.k.a the characters in it) wants someone to get arrested, that should probably happen. Not every conflict has to drag out, of course! Octavio poisoning the drinking water was a great addition to your story! If they wanted to get him, it would be strange if he could just get away, especially with being such a prominent person.
Oh, I think the Teslas is a perfect thing to have in the back of the story, because it adds some of that necessary drama and intrigue, and it makes your story feel more alive because different things are going on at the same time. It doesn't have to be upfront, but be where it wants to be. :P
"Thereby letting the sims make the story! " <--- There you said it. Of course they should make the story. They ARE the story. ^_^
"Yes it Is crazy Good!!! now just stop it and accept it!!! >:):)" <-- Alright, alright, I will try.. I just always sucked at taking compliments! :p You're such a sweet and lovely person for saying these things...
