@AdamsEve1231 Thank you for your input! Let’s see what you got for me…
I hope everything is clear!
Also, I learned about custom traits today thanks to you guys. I never heard of it before but whoa, zodiac traits sounds awesome. Wait a second. Sims 2 or 3 had zodiac signs implanted, right? OH MY NOW THAT IT HITS ME I miss these things so much.

Chapters
2. I’m personally not a fan of wedding parties but I’m going to take everyones stinky-bathroom wedding comments with me and not do that again :P I’m far ahead with my screenshots as everyone knows, but the next heir actually got a real wedding (spoilerrrrr). I’m so proud of myself for doing that. Non-heirs won’t get an actual wedding (sorry, that’s just too much for me :’)), but I made sure they were not stinky, hungry, had a full bladder or something else.
Another spoiler: in Chapter 1.15 (comes out next Saturday), Brent and Brant will meet each other once again to settle things :)
Liz’s traits are summed up on the side-bar on my blog, but I’ll also mention them here for you:
- Foodie
- Clumsy
- Gloomy
3. I never thought of locking the door :’) Oops. He does have toys from the start. He just never plays with them.
I can tell you, Brent is faithful to Liz :)

I’m curious what you ude/do for your notes
I have a MacBook so I just use the Notes app which is also synchronized with my iPhone. So when I’m playing the game I use my phone to keep notes and when I’m not playing I switch to my MacBook to look at them. It looks like this. I can easily check the ones I finished:

How do you plan your chapters?
I don’t plan. Mostly I play 1 or 2 Simdays, just see what the game will give me today, then I close the game and write the unpublished version of the story. When I’m going to publish it, I rewrite it a little bit to make sure it follows the story.
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?
I can tell you about that because Alison is already an adult in my game :) As a kid, Alison met someone and that person became her soulmate. I’m doing this with everyone by the way. They became a couple when teenagers and got engaged/married when young adults. From that moment, Alison moved in with her spouse and she’ll have her own life but no worries, she won’t disappear. Just as in real life, siblings will see each other now and then.
When do the heirs take over in the next generation?
The next heir needs to be young adult, because parents can’t live with the next heir when actually taking over.
In my case: the next heir got his actual wedding party (whoopwhoop!), Brent and Liz slept in the Ridley Residence for one day and that’s the end of Generation 1. The next day will be Chapter 2.1 where the next heir will take over and Brent + Liz will take their leave to the Ridley Retirement Home (I love how all these words start with R hahahahah); But okay, that’s still suuuuuper far away!
