After a lot of thought, I've decided my next Traveler's generation (Drifter House 2 told in story format) would like to join the pen pal project. I have a pretty good idea of the next heir's personality, and I think he's going to be a lot of fun to write for. He will join the pen pal project as a teen, then write for as long as his life goes on. I'm in the process of writing his profile, but here's the note I'm attaching to it:
Caleb is a part of a Drifter Challenge, told in story form. He's going to be "running" the second generation. He's an outgoing, glutton, gregarious sim with a teenage aspiration of "Party Animal." I have no way of knowing what trait he'll roll for his adult trait as I'm enforcing a random trait roll for the challenge. He will be doing a fair bit of traveling, as I plan to have him visit the city festivals in search of new food recipes in the first half of the challenge, and then he has the Outdoor Enthusiast Aspiration to finish in the second half of his challenge (once his heir is child age). Caleb, obviously, doesn't know this yet.. but I do. Personality wise, he's very much into food, and loves meeting new people.. so a pen pal who might be able to talk recipe ideas would be ideal.. or at the very least, someone who can at least put up with him talking about food a lot. I will be weaving his letter-writing into his story. As for how many chapters his story will last, that I can't say.. but I will say I'm very excited to write his story, since he's such an interesting sim for a drifter challenge - (Come on, a person who loves food in a challenge that starts from basically starvation rations?! .. Perfect.) I do expect to be writing his generation for a while because I have a lot planned for him. The letters will begin to be sent before he actually takes over for his generation, in other words, while he is still a teen and will function as a bit of an interlude as he grows up.
With any luck, you guys will have an idea of who would like to write to Caleb. I do figure I'm going to have quite a few chapters of Caleb's story, because he really just "speaks" to me as a character.. and having a sim who wants to sample all the foods he can will be a fun sim to write for. I am still, obviously, working on his mother's generation, and will use Caleb's first few letters as a way of his mom "watching" him growing up. (In other words, the story part of the letters will start out with his mom watching him interacting with a pen pal, then progress to him taking over when he's a young adult. Hard to explain, but easier in practice.) Initially, he will be an uncontrollable sim in his mother's house, then he'll be the only sim I control once he hits Young Adult stage.
I haven't done something like this before, so this will be a completely new experience. I have no idea what to expect or even if it will work out okay. If it does work out well, future generations might join the pen pal project, too!
