@Rainydayz179 I was wondering the same thing because the only way my Sim would find any info about the others is by an anonymous search. as she is also pretty isolated and trying to stay that way for the time being anyway.
Right, so we're going to have to do different levels of involvement. Also, different scenarios. I like the idea that the government took different approaches to the project and in the same light, the adoptive parents would react differently. Some would hide like yours and others would openly search like @CathyTea is doing. Mine is doing some searches and hacking.
@ra3rei I like the drifter idea personally because like you said they are already part of a government program.
@everyone I think our biggest question is how do we all come together? Brian's searching. Sebastian is actively trying to make contact. What do y'all think? How would they all come upon each other?
So this ties back to the question you had earlier about the bulletin boards... (we're talking online forums, right?)
If anyone lives in the city, we could even have posters on the poster blocks! :)
One idea would be for each of us to decide when and how we want our Sims to come across information about the others.
I'll have Sebastion's letter ready soon (within 48 hours, and likely within 24) which I'll post here in a spoiler. Then, when anyone is ready to receive it, they can copy/paste it or refer to it in their story...
Regarding the bulletin board/discussion forum idea, it could be handled a few ways, depending on narrative style. If I were to use it, I'd have Sebastion tell in his letter to his son how he came across it, just through crazy googling--or rumor--and that he has a lead. Then, he'd use that to try to track down families...
Another option I'm toying with is moving into my save any of the Sims that are up for that (I'd move them into Newcrest), and then we'd just see if any walked by! I sort of like the plot motif of looking for what's right around the corner...
I haven't made up my mind yet.
I guess the way I'm going to proceed is this:
1) I'll share Sebastion's letter so any of you can use it who want to (you can always have it as an email that someone forwarded to you!)
2) Once any of you are ready to either a) share a post on a bulletin board; b) write back; or c) have your caregiver and child uploaded to the gallery to be moved into other saves, I'll do one of those things.
And each of you can decide how you want to proceed. Ideas we've shared so far include a) hacking into agency database and tracking others that way; b) posting on online bulletin boards/discussion forums; c) moving uploaded caregiver/children into saves; d) somehow coming across Sebastion's letter (either receiving the email directly or having it forwarded) and replying.
:)
I might *justmight* decide to write up all five chapters today and post them so we'll be ready sooner!
(Yeah, Restraint and I are not always on speaking terms! :D )
