There are four more posts on the blog, and it'd be easier to post the links to them here rather than copy them out into their own separate posts. Although I probably will do that eventually. I'm not planning to play the Mastersons for a bit, although of course I will go back to them at some point!
Xanthe's Story Chapter Three: Uh Oh Sisters Forever Chapter One: Back Together Again Sisters Forever Chapter Two: Not Just About Romantic Love Sisters Forever Chapter Three: Three Adults and Three KidsI did play the family a little bit further, although not very much; they celebrated "Summer Fest" by going to Ohan'ali Beach in Sulani (the traditions are grilling food on the BBQ, water fun, and party spirit). They then moved to a house in Glimmerbrook, as three adults and three kids in one apartment was always going to be a squeeze! I've not had a family live in Glimmerbrook before so it should be fun. I also placed a cow shed and chicken coop in the garden!
Xanthe's little story line is something I hadn't really done before in-game; I'm usually fairly 'traditional' in that my Sims tend to get married before having children. I'm also still fairly new to 'SimLit' in this way. I know I could probably have written the story a little better, but isn't everyone like that (thinking they could make improvements)?
I also have plans for Erytheia and Xanthe's younger siblings Artemis and Apollo. All I'll say for now is that their "love stories" are again going to be a little different to what their elder siblings had. I wanted (and still want, in the case of Artemis and Apollo as their stories haven't happened yet) to experiment with different approaches to family life, i.e. not just the traditional route I mentioned above.
