SHARE Your Storylines, Pictures and Give Out Storylines Ideas?!
Hey guys, so I love the Sims 4 and I was wondering what are your storylines?!! Share with the community your stories and your pictures and come back and update whenever you want, if you don't mind...
I just began the Decades challenge, which I've been gradually posting to a blog as a story (I haven't shared the blog yet, because I'm shy). I usually don't plan out storylines for legacies and challenges, so when I began this I wasn't really thinking too much about it and tried going with the flow. That didn't really work out, so the story kind of shifted before it fully began. I'm also no history major, so I know this isn't totally historically accurate. I do my best c; This isn't the story as it's written on my blog, but this is basically some of the background info. This is also going to be long, I'm sorry :(
Lillie Loften is a young woman living in Windenburg in 1890. Her father, Jasper Lofton, was a fairly successful business man, though before his death in late 1886 he kept hidden from his wife - Florence - and Lillie that they had been going bankrupt. Lady Lofton and Miss Lillie didn't find out until the very day of his funeral. They were forced to give up their home and move onto the secluded Island off of the mainland, where Florence had inherited a very small vacation cottage from her own father years ago. Their place in society had fallen, and they were forced to live off what little money they still possessed. More than once Florence tried to marry Lillie off, but Lady Loften was too proud to give her daughter's hand to a more common man, and no man of status would ever wed a penniless woman with no dowry or titles.
In 1890 money was becoming especially tight, but by luck a young politician from Willow Creek had moved into a house he had inherited on the Island. The Ellsworth's were an old family of Windenburg, but Mr. Charles' great-great grandfather had abandoned the home and moved his family to Willow Creek during his time. Florence immediately sent Mr. Charles an invitation for tea, and the polite young man graciously obliged. But Florence lied to him, claiming that she and her daughter were simply vacationing on the Island for the summer; he was still so new to town he couldn't have known about their history.
Mr. Charles expressed to the ladies that his home was in need of major cleaning and renovations, as it was almost unlivable, but he hadn't the time to tend to it. Florence then suggested that perhaps Lillie could serve as a temporary maid to help Mr. Ellsworth. At first the man was shocked that a lady such as Lillie would ever serve as a maid, but he was desperate and eventually accepted.
Miss Lillie kept a very small room in Mr. Ellsworth's home, making it easier for her to do her work. He paid her weekly, and each week she would visit her mother to share in her earnings.
Over time Miss Lillie and Mr. Charles grew quite fond of one another, and a year and a half after she had begun to aid him (the house was looking much better!) Lillie thought perhaps he might consider marrying her.
Mr. Charles even sought advice from his well to-do friends, but upon hearing that Miss Lofton was the woman he was considering marrying they swiftly informed him of the young woman's true status. Marrying her, they said, could compromise his career.
And so with this in mind Mr. Ellsworth ended the professional engagement he and Lillie had had for almost two years, claiming that it had become too inappropriate.
