This is my first attempt at creating some kind of simlit (or simtoon ;)), you can read the first episodes here: https://tapas.io/series/The-Parker-Goth-Legacy-A-Sims-StoryIt's a mostly gameplay driven legacy story, with a runaway-teen and rags-to-riches setting. And it involves a prominent basegame family ;) I don't follow any specific challenge rules other than no cheating, randomizing traits and short lifespan.I'm curious to see how this project will affect the emotional bond with my Sims.

The next two episodes are out!Episode 3: https://tapas.io/episode/2954169Episode 4: https://tapas.io/episode/2954944Spoiler (Highlight to read)I quite enjoyed myself with how the game changed my initial ideas. Cassie played on the stage on her own and although I thought Riley could play for an audience this didn't work out at all, I think the pier is just a really bad location. And I actually failed to send him to class in time and didn't even know that you could talk yourself out of detention, haha.I quite enjoyed myself with how the game changed my initial ideas.

I like the comic format. Very well done!

I just read chapters 1-5! This is a great story! Whenever I send my sims to the pier, there's never anyone there. Hopefully Riley will find an audience somewhere. The game can definitely lead a story in another direction than you were planning. I've found that out this week writing my first sims story. I'm looking forward to the next chapters as well! The comic style is great!

Thank you both <3 @MrPlumbob Yes, the pier is kinda sad... I can somehow understand that NPCs don't use the rides on their own, but to put a stage there and then have nobody be interested in it seems like an oversight.Episode 5 is now out too: https://tapas.io/episode/2955316 (my favourite so far)And I start to feel like a movie director, haha. But also my perfectionism kicked in and I already wish that I had done the beginning differently. Not the story in itself, but the way I show it. I corrected a few things, but yeah, maybe it's a good thing that I can't turn back time in the save (I probably could, lol, but breaking the consistency of my Sims' universe would feel worse for sure than a wonky beginning of their story :wink:)

Episode 6 is out: https://tapas.io/episode/2956105Spoiler (Highlight to read) It was the first time I had a Sim take part in a GF talent showcase and I actually thought that there was a chance to win something, lol. Seems like another of the features that would need some kind of refresh...

The don't play in my room! shots are amazing. Woah. Sadie has potential to reign over every single one of her (future) younger siblings. I don't know what trait she has, though.

It's great that Riley finished a song! The title he choose was sweet. I'll have to remember not to leave the lot when I have my Sims do it.

Mortimer's death is certainly sad. ? I wasn’t expecting it so soon. Poor Alice. At least she got some cake. The cemetery is very well done.

Ugh... Since the patch broke so many things I'm not sure when I will be able to continue this save. Riley can't even play the guitar anymore (or use the mailbox). I really hope there will at least be a workaround soon. It's not related to the missing pie menu and the singing skill and cheating down his guitar skill didn't change anything...

I'm super sad (and angry) right now... :'(

Edit: Puh, it seems all to be fixed by the emergency patch...

@MrPlumbob
Thank you! The cemetery will be part of my Willow Creek remodel (if I ever finish it).

And now I've been hit with the disappearing moodlets bug :s I wanted to make an episode about the family grieving, but now no one is grieving any more...

I won't be playing until this bug is fixed. I've never experienced the game to be so unplayable before... :'(
