Please play along. :)

You get emotional after almost a month of not playing when you lose a beloved sim to the Meteor Death from the Werewolf GP. Literally! I was getting ready to switch households when I got the popup that Ben Cole saw the meteor. By the time I cancelled the travel it was too late. I went as far as to have his sister bring him back with magic. He has since become a vampire, so he's technically still dead! LOL!!

I would have done a save recovery, myself, to prevent the death. But, that's just me. I'm a writer and if a chapter just flat out goes wrong (because the characters don't always read their scripts ahead of time and wing it) I just rewrite it. ;)

You, too, eh? I'm of the write as ideas come school, rather than plan it out ahead, and the 3-act structure is anathema.

*To the topic, you start simming in your sleep, so can't remember when awake if something happened in your game or a dream. Can be a source of story ideas, though.

I, too, don't have a whole plotline setup. Mostly, I write about what my Sims did during the gameplay and turn it into a story. I do have one particular goal in mind, however, of which I've not yet achieved. Hence, the reason behind so many restarts. The Main Save I'm playing now, was a do-over from the Refresh that went south. I had just learned what I needed to do in order for him to earn Accolades for his music. Plus, I wanted to have my Rock Star and his wife be the first couple I took through MWS. For high school, I have created what I call a Flashback save, to I can have Erik reminisce about those years/experiences when his eldest is about to go to high school. Wish me luck.

*I think I must have been doing a bit of that last night. Woke up today thinking it was Patch Day. I thought I'd read somewhere it's going to be on Tuesday, July 26th. So, I thought today was Tuesday. :open_mouth:
