Strangerville: Shadows in the Dust | A Manicpot8to LP
Something's off in strangerville, but no one's saying it out loud. The air buzzes with secrets, the neighbors act strange, and the military presence is just a little too strong for a sleepy desert town. This story follows three threads converging: A secretive base with an agenda no one's willing to explain. Gloria, a newcomer with nothing left to lose and a knack for noticing what others ignore. And Bo, a loner who came to find the truth while hiding a secret of her own. Each character is drawn here for different reasons. Some came seeking answers. Others? Planned only to pass through. But no matter the reason, they all stay... because something won't let them leave. All this unfolds across my custom Strangerville builds, and each update will reveal more of the mystery. Feel free to follow along, and I look forward to reading everyone's thoughts and theories! Next up: Meet the residents. Not all of them are what they seem. Roll Call Episode One: Not just the oven Episode Two: She was "fine"Diary of a Country Girl
Hi everyone. 🙂 This is the continuation of a story I started back in March on the old Vanilla forum. If you were a regular follower of the 'What Happened In You Game Today' thread, you already know Aurora and her little family. Her save started out as just for fun. To explore things within the game that I never had before. I was just going to share a few screenshots with captions. The original idea for this save was to only be about Aurora and her sidekick, her Bernese, Piccolo. But I realized a couple of weeks ago that, yeah, it had become a story. And it deserved its own space here on the new forum. This post and the next couple will help those of you who aren't familiar, become familiar. And since the previous updates were scattered over like 75-100 pages of the old WHIYGT thread it's a nice reminder for everyone that had been following along. The title is also a hint at another change. I'm going to start writing each update like it was an entry in Aurora's diary. I may still write something here and there in a more traditional style with dialogue though. I'm also getting ready to start the reboot of my other story and by writing this one like a diary it's a lot easier to do both and still keep this interesting. So let me introduce you to everyone. Aurora Westbrook-Carter Aurora came back to her country roots. Her parents left Chestnut Ridge just as she entered her teens. She still came back to see her grandparents during the summers. She loved those visits and getting away from the city. After graduating high school she went to art school where she honed her painting and photography skills. But she never lost her love for the quiet country life in Chestnut Ridge. Now she's back where she feels most at home. Tre Carter Aurora's husband Tre came from an entirely different background. He grew up on the streets of Del Sol Valley just like his father. His mother came from Ciudad Enamorada. Yet Tre has always fascinated by the country life. He has an abiding love for horses too. Even if his first real life encounters weren't exactly smooth. Piccolo Aurora's loyal sidekick. Peanut (l), Nashville(back), and Spirit Peanut is Aurora's champion American Saddlebred. Nashville is Tre's horse and Spirit is the newest addition to the family. **Table Of Contents** Recap Part One Recap Part Two Recap Part Three Recap Finale Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three Chapter Four Chapter Six Chapter Seven Chapter Eight Chapter Nine Chapter Ten Chapter Eleven Chapter Twelve
Precious Joy Forsythe Legacy Challenge
I started a new legacy - the Precious Joy Forsythe Legacy Family Challenge. Precious Joy Forsythe is the first-born of the 10th generation from the Precious Forsythe Legacy Family Challenge.

I have been posting each chapter below individually. I just realized that a lot of the links were not functional. I have corrected this and will ensure the links work in the future. Edited to Add: Cortney Schultz, Precious Joy's spouse, was originally Silver RenameMe, created by CravenLestat (AKA 9722cce410c84e2a ) - I changed his hair, some of his traits, and his clothing for my game play.
The Story of the Steins: As Told Through Their Diary Entries
Hey! I've decided to use this post as a thread to post the different chapters and photos of the story I'm creating with my Sims. This story will focus on a Sims family called the Steins and will follow their lives through their diary entries. PROLOGUE 🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡 Ravenwood & Forgotten Hollow Chronicles 🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡 The tale of the Stein family is stitched across generations. It is inked into diary pages passed down like sacred relics. Each entry is a thread in a haunting, beautiful tapestry of life, death, and everything in between. The story begins when the family went different ways. Some moved to the vampiric enclave of Forgotten Hollow. Others chose the shadowed, whispering woods of Ravenwood. In Forgotten Hollow, Lady Stein is the family’s commanding and elegant matriarch. She documents her life with sharp wit. She also has a taste for the dramatic. She writes by candlelight in a mansion cloaked in ivy and secrets. There, time moves slowly, and the moon always looms just a little too close. Her teenage daughter, Frankie Stein, appears in the pages as a restless soul. She is rebellious and curious. She is caught between the weight of her mother’s legacy and her own desire for freedom. Lady’s diary entries reflect both pride and frustration as she tries to mold Frankie into something more than just her heir. Miles away, in the misty depths of Ravenwood, Cecilia-Stitch Stein—Lady’s younger sister—pens a very different story. Reanimated by science and bound together with sorrow and strength, Cecilia finds quiet solace in her solitude. Her journal speaks of early mornings with fog curling over the hills, the stillness of graveyards, and the bittersweet joys of raising her infant daughter, Nyx Steins. Born from a fleeting encounter with the mysterious Time Traveler Emit Relevart, Nyx represents both a new beginning and a painful reminder of love lost to time. As the years pass, these diaries trace the growing divide—and the invisible threads—that still bind the family across space and secrets. Through Lady’s ambition, Frankie’s rebellion, Cecilia’s resilience, and Nyx’s unknown future, the Steins’ story unfolds not just as a tale of the supernatural, but as a testament to family, fate, and the choices that echo across generations. Family Tree 🌳Marsden Farm Challenge
I am playing my Farming Challenge with a Twist by PianoAshes. Each chapter will be published on Wednesdays at 14:00 Central Time [19:00 GMT - 20:00 GMT in the winter months] Loni and her father, Fred Marsden, fell on hard times after her mother, Eden, passed away. The medical bills took all of their savings. Fred fell ill and could no longer work. They were about to lose their home. In desperation, Fred called an old Army buddy, Tate Curley, in Appaloosa Plains. Tate bought them bus tickets and told them he had a place they could live and that they should come immediately. They packed what they could take on the bus, mainly clothing and footwear. Loni opened her dresser drawer and took out her grandmother's pearls. They were natural pearls with a unique purple color. She placed them on top of her clothes and closed the suitcase. Then she went into her father's room and helped him pack. The two suitcases were heavy, so she could only manage one at a time on the staircase. They called a taxi. The driver put the suitcases in the trunk while they got into the cab. It was a short drive to the bus station. The driver brought their suitcases inside near the loading door when they arrived. Loni went to the counter to get their tickets and two baggage tags to attach to their suitcases. It wasn't long before their bus was loading. Loni made two trips out to the bus with their luggage. They settle into two seats near the front of the bus. It was a long ride to Appaloosa Plains, so Loni had packed sandwiches and drinks in her backpack. Loni Marsden: Fred Marsden: Edited to add: 9722cce410c84e2a Loni's partner is Christian Payne, created by CravenLestat. He and Charlotte moved in with Loni to help with the farm. They ended up getting married. Christian and Charlotte are available on the exchange. CravenLestat also created Loni's Hedgehog shirt, which is available on the exchange. The shirt says: HEDGEHOGS WHY DON'T THEY JUST SHARE THE HEDGE? The hedgehog is saying NO. The model is Michell Forsythe from my Precious Joy Forsythe Family Legacy game.EA26 Career Mode Idea
Hello! I think that we desperately NEED a true story mode for our player career mode. An actual story mode for our player would genuinely bring in so many players. If EA focused on a story mode for our personal player and not like FIFA’s 17/18 the Journey mode it would be great. For example, take inspiration from 2K and potentially have a rival player/club, press conferences that impact your teammates and you on the field. An arrogant answer from a press conference could decrease team chemistry which could lead to teammates not passing you the ball on the field when you as for it, but could increase your fan base and unlock sponsors/deals to gain wealth. There are truly endless story ideas and gameplay ideas that you guys could add to EA FC 26! There are countless ways to start off our players journey. Maybe we start it off with three teams that no one knows (but are obviously professional teams). Maybe we start off with our player playing at a field and we play and get rated out of 10 (per usual) and that rating determines which teams we can choose from to start off our player career. Maybe we can even have to meet objectives from our coaches and receive feedback in a cutscene if we did good or bad to see their reaction. I’ve been playing FIFA since FIFA 15 and playing the same teams over and over again is exhausting. It gets boring quick with no story to spice it up. I kindly ask that you guys please take this into consideration and look into making a story mode for our player career mode. Also getting into the starting lineup is WAY too easy. It should be much harder for the next EAFC game. It’s just too easy getting into the lineup and rotations/getting our player subbed out is rare which is not realistic. Coaches subbing us out would be a lot more realistic. Overall, as a solo my player career type of person, I believe that if you guys add a story of our own player, it could bring in more fans to the EA community and EAFC game. The game is great, but it needs a story to back it up and make things more interesting.
