ARoseInBloom Sims [I'm not dead: 1/20] «1234567…62...Next Go

Hi all! I started a new thread for my blog so that I could actually post links and such in it!

So yeah, for those of you who are new, this is my Destiny/Legacy blog about my family, the Skinners. I'm on Generation 6 7 8 and I just love them to pieces. I hope you do, too.

The Skinner Saga

I also have a short story series--30 stories using 30 different Sims and inspired by 30 of my favorite quotes.

I just read Generations 1 & 2, and it is really good! Your writing drew me in right away and gave me chills I also smiled a lot! Bookmarked!

aroseinbloom

Thanks so much, @JadeEmma! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

JadeEmma

@aroseinbloom The beginning is magnificent and really draws the reader in. You write beautifully!

Hello, all! I've posted 2 new blogs today! You're all now caught up to where I am in game play. So I suppose that means I'll have to play a bit today! What a shame! Oh, wait. No...that's awesome! Enjoy and please let me know what you think!

aroseinbloom

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while...things got crazy. Anyways, the newest one is a quick catch up on what's happened over the last few times I've played! I hope you're all enjoying!

aroseinbloom

Guess who's back and has been playing for half of the day already?!? This girl! Okay...things keep turning up for the Skinners, so check them out now...who knows when things will take a turn for the worst? Or is that what people want? Heh. Anyways, post 4.17 is up!

Best Day of My Life 4.17

aroseinbloom

Okie dokie! Another post published tonight! The Wedding and Then Some 4.18

And...the family tree has also been updated! The Skinner Family Tree

CathyTea

I just love the romantic pictures you take! Ainsley's expressions are amazing!

aroseinbloom

@CathyTea Thank you! I love Ainsley's facial expressions. They are by far my favorite of all of the Sims I've had in this Legacy. She's made me fall back in love with this family again. I have soooooo many pictures of her that I don't even post, just take to look at her. She's so much fun.

CathyTea

Isn't it funny how sometimes one can go through what seems like generations of boring, same-old Sims--and then suddenly one will come along who is full of life and expression and individuality? (Hmmm... kind of like life that way!)

aroseinbloom

Alrighty...I've been playing like a crazy person, so here's yet another update, (and the end of Generation 4!!!)! I'll update the family tree with the next post that comes out so I don't spoil any fun for anyone.

I Hope You're Up for It 4.19

CathyTea

Congratulations on Gen 5! That's a huge accomplishment!

aroseinbloom

Thanks, @CathyTea! I'm super excited. Now what to do about the amount of Sims in my house?

CathyTea

Looks like perhaps you're hoping a little over-exercise might help take care of some of it!

Bilmonaghan

You've been cranking out chapters! Trying to get your blog caught up so you can get back in and play, are ya? (and I gotta agree that Ainsley is a pretty striking Sim)

aroseinbloom

@bilmonaghan I'm not even going to lie, I've been rotating between playing and blogging all weekend. I worked hard cleaning my apt this week, so I'm rewarding myself by not feeling guilty about playing all weekend. Heh.

@CathyTea Yes. Maybe. Don't judge. It's not working. But an even better thing happened by accident, which solves my problems. (I feel really bad about it, though).

Well, some chores got neglected around here this week, but I didn't call in sick once, I put all the little piles of stuff I haven't gotten around to in one big pile, and I did catch and filet and cook a mess a fish, so it wasn't all blogging and playing. lol

CathyTea

@aroseinbloom - No judging here! I freely admit that when playing an overly full house, I've sometimes sent Sims with few handiness to skills to repair electrical appliances!

UmbralFlower

I have a lot of reading to do, I just started. I can't wait til I'm caught up

ETA: awww most of the pictures are broken It's not stopping me from reading but I just thought you should know.

It was just the first few chapters. No biggie. Lol

aroseinbloom

Alrighty, the first post for Generation 5 is complete!Celebrating the Twins 5.1. And the family tree has once again been updated!

@CathyTea Phew! I felt awful. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

@candace92 I hope you like it! Please let me know what you think

@bilmonaghan I went out and got Thai food for dinner. So...I went out. I physically left my apartment once this weekend. That's all one really needs, right?

CathyTea

But the big question is... did your Sims get out and brave Load Screen, or did they spend the weekend on the home lot?

CathyTea

Great chapter! I love Ainsley! Her expressions are fantastic! I love the way she walks around with her smile... and the stick-to-sweater joke is great!

Bilmonaghan

Not even necessarily every weekend.

aroseinbloom

@bilmonaghan This is a rare occasion for me--a whole weekend gaming. Usually I have at least something to do. But just you wait, this last update for the night is emotional. I can't even...almost done now!

aroseinbloom

This is a looooong one, Simmers. I'm not even going to lie to you. BUT it is a roller coaster ride, so you'll stay interested!
