@SweetieWright_84 Thank you very much! I love to write, and I enjoy writing both dialogue and exposition. It's not always easy to give each of my main characters their own voice, so I'm very glad Z is available to "voice" our characters sometimes.
@Kellogg_J_Kellogg Thank you, too! I've made a conscious effort to add more pictures to the story, and Sim 66 is actually my inspiration here.
Now I'm actually remembering to grab screenshots as I'm playing and, again, Z often reminds me. "Oooh! Get a pic of that," she'll exclaim, and then I pause the game and snap a shot. It's frustrating when a Sim pulls a perfect face, and I'm a split-second too slow on the draw.
I confess to working a trick in those cases. I'll spam interactions until I get the Sims into the mood I want, at which point they will hopefully give me the animations I'm looking for. Then I grab my shot and exit without saving, so whatever crazy moodlet I've created won't wreak havoc on the poor Sims' lives until I see them again.
My next chapter will have even more images, as it marks the return of one of our more photogenic characters to the story. :)
