@lone_cat Welcome! There's only two chapters so far, so it'll be easy. haha
@katrinasforest Awesome, thanks! To answer your question, I decided I wanted to do the Legacy Challenge. I had also been toying with the idea of trying to make it into a SimLit. I chose mermaids for the challenge because they're a life-state I haven't really played with much. Plus, I'm a water child; I love the water, swimming, and anything to do with it. So, it seemed appropriate and like a fun challenge.
So, if y'all are not familiar with The Legacy Challenge, you basically play through 10 generations of one family. So, by converting this into a SimLit, each generation will be broken up. I really want to do a story arch for each generation, in about only 10-15 chapters per generation. I didn't realize how limiting the rules of the Legacy Challenge would be when it comes to exploring a lifetime of a particular Sim. Again, if you're not familiar with it, the rules state that the lifetimes must be set to normal in-game and you can only use something to reverse aging (like a potion of youth) once per generation. So, you really have to hit the ground running in order to make the most of your challenge. I am a little worried that this will make my story feel a bit rushed, though.
My story is pretty young still (though admittedly, I've played WAY ahead in the game), so there's not really a lot to say yet. I WILL say that Gemma will have to make some tough decisions in the future.
