Urge to Go Back to an Earlier Save . . .

It would be best to do what you find would be the most enjoyable for you when playing your game. You are going through a very difficult and hard time in your real life, so need to play the game to relax and try to have a little bit of a break from all that has been happening in your life, although it can be hard. I am not sure what to suggest which way to go as both ways would be good, but I just want whatever would be best for you. Sending hugs with all that you are continuing to go through ❤️

Thank you for your input. I greatly appreciate it.  ❤️ I do think my feelings toward my current Cantrell save have been growing for longer than the bombshell hit. But I will take your words into advisement. Thank you so much!

I know this sounds like old cliche , but truth is, answer to your dilemma is what you want yourself 🙂 If you want to restart again, then you do it. Like Rosemow said, we play for fun and enjoying it is the way often distract us from real life issues. 😊

Thank you, and yes it can be a nice distraction when real life gets too rough. My reason for switching, sadly, turned out to be a bust. The mod I was interested in is broken. (And here it had just been updated, too.)  Seems it couldn't get passed the last update. Oi! Oh, well.  I may continue on with this earlier save, anyway, as it is far more interesting than what is going on in my current save.  I've played it for at least four gaming sessions, and a story just hasn't presented itself. Plus, the doppelganger (in the picture only) has returned. I tried to solve it with information on the 'Net, and although I reset Kayleigh, it now says Not Found. 🤥

Oh, she's been there when I play the game, and thankfully there is only one of her, but seeing her twice on the picture next to the save really, really, really bugs me. I know, I'm a bit of a strange bird. But it just may be I need to alter the future events of this family, you know?

I shall give it another good think. I'm so grateful for both of you for weighing in. Ellupelluellu rosemow. Would you like story updates if I continue on in the Way Back machine?

If I keep with the Way Back version, know that I picked up before the Cantrell kids and Kayleigh went off to college and Erik was just at star two, in his climb, I would very much like to write about it. Also, I am hoping it won't take the Sonozaki Sisters, in conjunction with Katiemods, to fix the mod in question, as it augments Lovestruck and would be great for storytelling purposes. I will be continuing on with the Starlight Accolade changes I made from the get-go, so that this time I will call them by what I've been calling them most recently.

If I do stick with it and write, know I will start a new thread, too. Way Back With the Cantrell's or something on that order. I also won't go deeply into Brianna's situation, as that's been done, too. I'll also pop into the forums now and again to give minor updates. Thank you, again, so very much. You both have helped more than you know.

Writing is the thing you enjoy to do, to be honest it sounds unbelievable to me , that you would just play, without sharing 😊

 I suppose I am similar, those times I used to play the way that story was in my own head only, not shared in any way, seem so long ago.. and not only seem, that time IS long ago 😊 So,  what I mean to say, is..

Sure, do updates if you, yourself,  feel like you want to, and have the energy to do  those.😊 Of course I only can talk for myself, but I will read.

If you do start a new thread, I will enjoy reading it 🙂

Oh, I hear you there. Writing is like breathing to me.  I just didn't want to leave those of you who have faithfully been following my story to wonder why the writing suddenly stopped, you know? I value my readers very much. So, thank you.

Thank you. I will let you know once I've actually written something for the Way Back version. Mind you, I'm starting off just after the Cantrell's return to Earth to take over the family "Home" in Del Sol Valley. Erik, having already graduated early on Vulcan, now is working on his career. So, likely, that is where the updates will begin.
