Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. :) I’m kind of addicted to simlit, so this will be a great way to binge on some new stories!
@Firande I can't wait to read your story too! I'll try to start from the beginning, but thanks for the tip on starting on chapter 40, if I don't get caught up in time for next week.
@rainbowwithfangs I’m enjoying the story so far, it's a great start. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for Gemma. Sulani is one of my favorite worlds, it’s so beautiful and tropical, I feel like I’m on vacation every time I play it or see it used in stories.
I haven't read many legacy challenge stories, so this is a nice new look into a different type of simlit for me. I also have never played a challenge, but can see how it would be an interesting challenge with aging set to normal and no cheats allowed. I did have a legacy when I first started playing sims 4, but I never wrote about it, or took many screenshots. I had twelve generations, then I stopped, because I really liked the last generation and didn’t want to move on. I got too attached to my half alien, turned vampire, lol.
I like learning about a writer's process in writing simlit. Do you let your sims run around autonomously and take lots of screenshots and write later? Or do you try to control them, and have a basic plan or outline for what you want them to accomplish in their generation? I hope that makes sense.
