@Skeilah Alright finally getting around to answering the questions.
Spoiler
General
1. What were your first impressions on Liz? --- She's so pretty! I love redheads. I populate my Sims world with them. They are only 2% of the real world, and I'm one of the 2% so represent Liz! I also love how "excellent" cooking comes easily to her. What luck!
2. What do you think about the concept of my Legacy Challenge? It's not a normal Legacy Challenge but one related to the MySims Trophies. --- I love it! I think I found my next challenge! :D No... I have too many already that I've got to finish. Wow... how ambitious! I am terrible at moving quickly through challenges so I wish you luck. I like the uniqueness of this challenge and anything that ties the Sims games together makes me happy. I also tend to be bad at collecting in the Sims and almost always end up "cheating" just a little so kudos to you for sticking with it.
3. What do you think about the way I write my chapters? --- love the humor! I sort-of amble through the chapters at a leisurely pace. You write in a way that's easy to read. I can definitely relate to the common Sims "issues" that crop up in Liz's life.
4. My Chapters are classified in Sim days. Do you (dis)like that? --- I think it works well the way it's set up. Bite-sized makes it easy to get through (unlike mine :# )
Chapters - not sure about the numbering of these..
1. :)
2. Which parts in the available chapters did you (dis)like? Why is that? --- I think Liz is bold for asking Brent to divorce Brant so quickly. They're definitely moving at a Sims-trope pace... meet, date, kiss, marry, have baby all in one day. :D I think my favorite part is Brent telling you not to follow him. :D
As I mentioned over on the blog, in the very first TS3 game I ever played, my main character started dating a married man and she didn't even know until his wife showed up in their bedroom late at night to yell at them. *gasp* I didn't even know how to lock a door yet. :# Talk about spicy!
I'm glad Brant found happiness again.
I think someone else mentioned this - Liz's personality. I feel like it would be nice to see a little more of the My Sims influence for this generation (the Chef Gino) in the chapters. I can see a lot of your personality in the chapters, but it would be nice to see a little more of Liz's.
Not sure how I feel about Liz's stinky bathroom wedding. I would've liked to see them have an actual wedding (it would feel more legitimate), and maybe Brent make amends with Brent. Also if they were going to elope, it would've been nice for Liz to at least take a shower and then they could walk somewhere pretty.
What are her traits? I can't remember if you mentioned these or not. Sorry if I'm forgetting. I recall Gloomy, but I'm not sure what else.
I do think parts of Liz shine through pretty well - like when she whimmed for a pool - did she actually go swimming? Or when she drank alcohol and practiced mixology while pregnant. Bad Liz! Lol. She seems to be a hard worker and that helps her get ahead in life. She also seems to know what she wants and she isn't afraid to go after it (even if it's a bit of nudge from the writer).
3. How do you like Ninja and Brent joining the Ridley family? What are your thoughts on these characters? --- love <3 <3 Ninja! He steals the show! Literally every scene he's in makes me go ... aww... It was hilarious that Ninja keeps walking in on them. :D Perhaps they should buy some toys for Ninja to play with to distract him or they should lock the door when they're going to get romantic.
I'm not sure how I feel about Brent. He went on a date with Liz while still married, and then broke up with his husband for her. That's a bit of a bad beginning pattern so I hope he's faithful to her.
5. Does everything in the story make sense for you? -- Yep.
5. Is the story easy to follow? Do you need more information or less? -- I think I've already answered this. I'm enjoying the pace.
6. What are you expecting for next episodes? (they are already played and written but not yet published but I like to see your thoughts about this) -- can't wait to see Alison grow up and their next new addition.
7. Any questions for me? -- you mentioned in one chapter you have detailed notes about the food booth schedules. That's great. I'm religious about taking notes too so I'm curious what you use/do for your notes.
How do you plan your chapters?
What do you plan to do with the spare heirs (like Alison)? Will you include them in the story or will they get side adventures or will you primarily focus only on the heirs?
When do the heirs take over in the next generation? (maybe this was mentioned in the MYSims legacy challenge rules, but I can't remember).
