@SmallSeven01 I get the building pressure. I am so insecure about all of my builds! That's why I'm working on the legacy house now. Hopefully more time means it will look better.
@cecerose0208 Lol! I don't mean to laugh at your pain, but I get the running across the lot. It's so frustrating! Elias doesn't have to run across the lot, but when he was lawn living, whenever he invited people over, they would spawn across the street! Also, his orchard is on the back corner of the lot... a ton of running. Come to think of it, I should remedy that soon.
@PurplishSimEater Ha! Love your Joaquin chapter! And Brittany's makeover is cute!
@Asaoyoru Well, for my casual legacy I actually play ahead to the end of a generation, write out all of the chapters, and schedule one chapter every Wednesday and Friday. It gives me ample time to play through the next generation and I love that method! This time is different, I've played about halfway through (those toddlers and children really get me). I normally just write whatever I was thinking in the moment for that.
For the Castillo legacy, I have a pretty good balance of playing and writing. After chapter 1.07 comes out, I'll be all caught up with playing. The thing is, since I'm inserting some plot myself, some things that happen in my story don't happen in my game. In that case, I go into another save file with copies of all my sims and take a few screenshots- only as needed. Normally, I can make it work without having to do that. Sometimes I even write ahead and allow room for changes to be made based on what happens during gameplay. The thing is, this legacy takes more creative energy. If it didn't, I'd like to have all the posts scheduled like with my BN but normally I can only get 2-3 scheduled at a time and certainly would not be able to do the entire generation!
