How do you guys get the quoting to work? I'm hopelessly lost at how things working on this forum :/ I don't even really know how to make points to be able to post images -sighs- (I need 50 points right? I'm only at 14 right now)
Anyway thank you all for the highly interesting and useful advice.
@hirondelle: I just started reading other Simmers' blogs myself and it has helped a lot! I don't know if I'll ever get into watching legacies on youtube. I saw that they can get pretty long and one of the things I liked about blogs is that I can read them as fast as I want to, and also they move along at a pretty good pace. But maybe I'll check one or two out just to see how they are.
@AkramA: Thanks for the advice. I don't have an English keyboard so the ` key might not work for me. But the tab mode seems really interesting. I discovered it accidentally in-game the other day when I pressed the tab key and took a screenshot by accident, but I had no idea how to move around or anything hahaha. I'll have to look more deeply into this function :)
@aroseinbloom: I get really attached to my Sims at the beginning, but then when they have children I find myself just wanting to rush through my current heir's generation so that I can start on their children's legacy! I think I need to learn to be more patient and appreciate each generation for who they are and be less urgent about completing their storylines and such.
@CathyTea: I just started reading your Goofy Love Legacy. I know what you mean about loving your sims because it really shows in your writing and in your storylines. It's really incredible how you manage to focus on every major sim in your generation and bring them to life. I have difficulty just playing with more than 2 sims, not to mention being able to juggle their storylines and aspirations haha. But it's nice to know that I have so much to learn. This kind of challenge makes me really eager to tackle my legacies and stick with them!
Also I think that it cheers me up to read that you guys play more than one game at a time. I don't know why but in my mind it's always been I have this legacy and no other game, legacy or otherwise. I guess maybe that kind of pressure kind of killed it for me. Now, I have three different games started: my current differences in the family tree legacy, a random/pinstar legacy, and a third the three little sims challenge I saw in the forums. It's much less stressful knowing that playing another game doesn't necessarily mean I'm abdonning the other. I don't know why in the S3 I never let myself play more than one game at a time, but I think it's a big factor to what killed legacies for me. Next step: learning to love my sims and bring them to life! :p
Thanks for all the wonderful advice!
