(Discontinued) Metior_Ice’s Story Thread

After trying to play through a legacy, I wanted to do something different, something that isn’t related to a specific challenge.

I’m hoping to share my stories here for fun. It’ll be a way to continue writing when I’m unable to work on my personal works.

I will be sharing households and my builds in the gallery. If anyone wants to use a build or a household, feel free to let me know if it isn’t already in the gallery.

While there aren’t plans for a rigid plot, I do plan on building off of whatever happens in a previous update.

I’m creating a new thread because I’m telling a new story with a new save!

Meet the MerSims

Over time, I'm going to add to this list of characters and update it. Bios are in the Spoilers.

The Twins: Dylan and Zephyr Zalrian

Spoiler
Dylan and Zephyr have been inseperable since their birth from Seafoam and Song. Dylan is an empathetic merboy that cares about his friends. It's not unusual for him to feel down when someone close to him is upset. Dylan can tell epic stories and influence the emotions of others with ease. Zephyr is an intelligent merboy with a knack for mediating conflicts. Zephyr has an intricate understanding of Gadgets and Gizmos. Unlike most merfolk, Zephyr doesn't struggle as much with learning how to use human technology. Both twins can sing with perfect pitch and have the typical affinity for music and instruments shared by all natural born merfolk.

Dylan normally wears a necklace, and Zephyr usually wears a bracelet. The twins are aware that others use these accessories to tell them apart and will sometimes leave their necklace and bracelet at home for the sake of mischief.

  • I’m going to give updates on how close I am to my next update here. If the mods work, I’ll probably create a new thread for my story.

    I’m thinking of changing things up with my twins. There are things I always wanted to be able to do during their childhood, and if the mods give them a merman form in the child life stage, I will definitely be turning back the clock on their age.

    I’ve always felt like my twins were cheated out of their mermadic childhood. So, I’m hoping to start their story there if possible.
  • I hope you're able to find some interesting mods for children. You may be already aware or this (and this is not a mod for children sims), but there's an expanded mermaid powers mod that will be released on March 1.

  • @haneul I created a thread for people to show off what their merfolk are up to in their game. I shared that exact video. My new profile picture comes from me testing out one of their mods.

    I can honestly say that they have created an extraordinary mod that really captures so much of what I feel like I was missing in the game. The animations from their smaller mod were so fluid!

    Since I already spent so much getting set up to play the sims on my pc, I felt comfortable supporting them. After all, they created a mod that does so much of what I was looking for after not finding that anywhere else for so long!

    Island Living was one of the earliest expansion packs for the Sims 4.

    I plan on testing the mod tomorrow morning, but I won’t be able to actually play until next week! The wait is killing me. That mod… it’s doing so much to revitalize my creativity with sims gameplay.

    I’ve even started taking steps to reconnect with my social media, an important step towards creating my own personal works!

    Like, words can’t describe how excited I’ve become because of this mod… I just can’t wait to explore it!

  • Sorry about that. I did not check out that thread very carefully before I posted here. :sweat_smile:
    I look forward to reading about all your merfolk again after you get things set up. I hope your first actual playthrough next week with the mods goes well.
  • Don’t worry about apologizing!

    I look forward to sharing things again! I’m really super excited to go into CAS and create my household and give them a quick test. And believe me, as soon as I’m able to, I will be simming like I haven’t simmed before.

    The timing for everything feels just right for it all.

    @Metior_Ice I read your recent school update and love it! Dylan and Zeph are really funny mers! I love just reading all their talking even if it is silly, I just enjoy their stories and watching them exist, you are so good at breathing life into them and how different yet connected they are.

    I wish you all the luck about the computer! I know that is a huge investment your doing but you are SOOOO passionate about you're story and it makes you truly happy then I think that is a good investment, sims 4 is sticking around for quite a while so I really don't think it is at a lost and also I don't see the consoles giving permission to use mods, it is not up to EA but the people who run Xbox or playstation.

    Whatever you decided, I am rooting for you and keep us posted!
  • It’s here! I’m going to be testing out the expanded mermaids mod tonight! Like, I can barely contain myself! Again, circumstances won’t allow for as much gameplay as I would like, but there’s a very good chance that I will have some new updates soon!

    Tonight, I will know for sure if I will be starting over with a new story thread!
  • For those who found this thread, here's a link to the new story thread.
