It took about a week of in game time to get things situated. I'm thinking of trying to restart the spring season to get the full season in this story arc. However, I ended up creating a new save after an Update fixed a bug that made Sliders for child sims possible.
Considering the risk of not being able to save the older save and a multitude of other things that made me wary of continuing the save (broken child sliders included but not the only reason for my decision.) I decided to restart my story and my save before anything catastrophic could happen. More of a precaution on my part rather than a statement on the update.
This did give me time to rethink a number of different things and find a way to weave in the different drafts into a more focused story. The merfolk were recreated and some of them don't have the same look they used to have. I also used this as an opportunity to not given ALL the mermadic powers to all my oldest merfolk.
I am still working on the build but given the way the changes start to become less noticeable over time, I decided it would be better to tone down the frequence of updates to free up some time.
Anyways, here's a teaser for my new Chapter 1 I will be rebooting my story with.
Chapter 1: A Wayward Pod
Kemps proposes an idea to his younger brothers and their partners concerning a new home for the growing pod.
9 screenshots later and after a bit of discussion. I ended up with this. I wonder what could have given Arihi this reaction. 🤔 Given her intelligence among members of the pod. Something doesn't seem like a great idea to her.
Arihi has come a long way from leaving a toddler Zephyr on the beach to pass out so she can sleep in her bed. 😂And that reminded me of the time she tried to swim with Zephyr as a toddler and got glitched. 🤣
I'm hoping there is some hope in making her into a more loving mother. For her character, it has been a struggle given her past with the twins when they were born in game. 😑 I've always leaned on Calum in game for parenting and childcare because Arihi has always been completely hopeless in that area no matter how high her parenting skill gets. 😅
Arihi and her relationship with her kids has always been a little different. Calum is absolutely amazing when it comes to the child life stage and younger, but Arihi is a stronger parent with the teen life stage and older. I don't know if anything is in their code, but I really can never see Arihi as being the stronger parent for her younger children and I never had much time to see what she would do as a Grandma before starting over on the pc to give the twins their mermadic childhood... lots to think about.
