Ashes to Ashes Generation 8 Casting Call!

It’s that time again! :blush: Looking for some sims for the next generation of my legacy! :)

The usual sorts of rules apply --

1. Looking for mostly teens and YAs (but I might age them up or down as needed!)

2. If you use cc, please PM me here on the sims forum or email me at dust2dustsims@gmail.com with links. I don’t do alpha in my game, so Maxis Match cc only :)

3. Try to limit it to just one submission per person, but I’m willing to make a couple of exceptions!

4. Writing a bit of a backstory for them is great! :)

5.Please upload them to the Gallery under the hashtag #A2AGen8 (And I will make a thread on the Sims Forums for the casting call as well!)

6. Haven't decided on a cutoff date yet, but I'll let you all know when I do!

I want to thank everyone in advance for their submissions! And thank you for your understanding around casting calls too.

Believe it or not, I usually get about 50 sims per casting call (!!!) Because I get so many, there are many that are not used :( And I genuinely feel really bad about that. I wish I could use every sim I get. And I try as hard as I can to use people's sims where I can, but I can't fit every one in. It's just not possible, unfortunately :(

I just want to make sure everyone knows how much I love their submissions, whether I use them or not! I can think of so many past submissions that I’ve really loved, but I just couldn’t find a good place for them to fit.

All that being said, I really hope you guys still choose to submit some sims! I am still looking for some plot inspiration for Gen 8, so I’m hoping some of your submissions will help inspire me with some story ideas surrounding our heiress! And as always, I’ll try to use as many as I can and I promise I appreciate every single one <3

Thanks guys!!!!

    Thanks @CitizenErased14 and @pammiechick

    I love to look at submissions to determine if there appears to be a common 'theme' in the casting call submissions and it seems most of the kids seem to need therapy, mainly rooting from family issues like neglectful or distant parents. (Or at least a support group or something like that :D)



    My submission could definitely use some therapy. lol Anybody who recognizes her from my story would understand lol
  • Am I good to submit one or do you already have a ton? (I only caught up about an hour ago so I'm good if you don't need any. :) )
  • @Skcaga6 I know, I was kidding :tongue:

    @Bugsie2016 I haven’t been in game for a few days, so I’m not sure how many I have so far (last I checked I think it was 14 or 15?) But there really isn’t a cut off number and I’d love to see what you make! So I say go for it! :blush:
  • Do I offer you Morgan Burton or a random genetic child of one of my couples? It's a hard one. Kinda tempted for the first one...
  • Iwent with child of one of my sim couples.

    After being bullied at her last school for the uncommon relationship of her parents (putting a little on that in a spoiler as it's part of my own story's plot), Athena Modiek moved to a new one not so far away. On the first day, Athena made the decision to follow her second passion this time around as an athlete. Something no one took her seriously for before. Who would take her serious? A geeky, book-loving conspiracy theorist that also loves to run around a field. They had to be crazy to believe it.

    In her personal life, Athena is happy. She is youngest child, and second daughter, of Dani and Connor Modiek. She has 3 older brothers, Jordan, Jarod and Braden, and an older sister, November (or Nova). She is yet to find love for herself as while she's told her family that she's gay, she hasn't told anyone else.

    Here's that random trivia stuff for her parents:
    Spoiler
    Athena's dad is Connor. Only thing different about Connor is he's pansexual. Otherwise he's a regular guy. Athena's 'mum' is Dani. That's where things are slightly different. So, Dani is non-binary but after adopting their 3 sons, they talked with Connor and it led to them having Nova and Athena.

    So, technically Athena has a dad and then a Moddy (Dani). You can just call Dani, Athena's mum or dad if it were to ever come up. I don't mind. :) As long as there is no implying that Dani is a man or a woman then I'm cool with it. (I'm a protective sim parent).
