I apologize for the delay. I finally have all the screenshots I need for the first chapter… took an additional 100 screenshots, give or take. 😅 I got some interactions between Ukupanipo and Alex that turned out better than the original. Hard to say what got a different reaction because I used the same interactions. With the magic of cheats I did add a character value trait to Ukupanipo that allowed me to replicate the original reactions from the original interactions.
I also made an update to Arihi’s Character Bio. Most of it is the same, but I did add a detail stating that she has a similar immortality to natural-born merfolk…
Story cannon wise, she’s an Elemental Spirit of the Ocean turned into a half-mermaid, and that’s why she’s got eternal youth immortality.
But, my personal reason for that is I didn’t want her growing into an elder. She’s the mother of the twins, my favorite MerSims… I know Dylan and Zeph can be quite a handful and I wanted her to stay an active part of their lives. I felt like aging her up to being an elder would have slowed her down too much.
When I started this thread, I encountered a limit on the number of characters I can put in a single post. Consequently, I had to break up the original post into 3.
I’ll share links to my blog up until the release of the new forums here.
Eventually, I plan on transferring the story into the new forums if possible.
Edit: I edited some details for Half-Merfolk for continuity reasons. So it should align with Arihi’s circumstances.
