Monthly SimLit Short Story Challenge

I've had the story written since the beginning of the month, but when I opened the game to take pictures, I realized I had never told a story with Sims 4 (which is the only Sims game I have on my current laptop). For some reason, I struggled with pictures all month. What's strange is that I used to love setting up pictures with stories in 2 & 3. My life got super busy and I got very ill and didn't have time or energy for stories only playing the game to relax. I never looked at 4 with a storyteller's eye and now that I'm trying to it's familiar and foreign all at once. I'm giving it another go today (feeling good about it). I know some people here are also getting back into this after an hiatus. Was it like pulling teeth or like sitting down in with an old friend?
