So how would you explain to somehow about how in the game itself your sims birth and raise children?
I'd probably just say that it's a game that simulates life. You could go into more detail, but I feel like most people would understand with that.
I did say the game simulated life but he still didn't get that we have our sims get pregnant and have children who go on to get pregnant and have their own children....
Well, that's a part of a lot of people's lives, so maybe saying that would help? What part confused him the most?
I could just say it's a "Circle of Life" game which I control (almost) the entire life cycle of my characters.
I feel like that's pretty much the same as saying 'life simulator', but if you think that it would help better get your point across, then go for it. Has the person you're trying to explain this to had any experience with video games? Could you show him pictures to help illustrate your point?
He has seen pictures from my game that showcase parts of my story..
I'm honestly not sure how you could explain it, then. Sorry I wasn't of much help!
I am for sure joining! I recently created a blog for my Simlits! 1 for Sims 3 and 2 for Sims 4 (though i may start up new Simlits in the future). I'm still missing my last S4 story. All i have is a legacy for S3 and a story for Sims 4 relating to the backstory of my original characters (which i will commit to more as these characters have some pretty in depth backstories lol).
for anyone who has read my entire Swanson story-could someone recreate Cora sim for me?
what happend to her?
I couldn't find her grave in time and her ghost got culled from the save.
Hi @MadameLee ! I'd be happy to have a go at recreating Cora, if you send me a full body and a close-up pic of her. When would you need her by? It may take me till some time next week to recreate her, because this week is a little busy for me.
I don't have a close up picture of her (excluding a diary journal entry of hers) or a full body picture (except for looking at a pregnancy test with the twin) and that's more like half a picture. But I don't need her for quite awhile (Gen 10)-besides it can wait until after the mini-collab..which reminds me..I need to talk to you about..

Been ages and pages since I wandered into here. Sorry your ghost got the heave-ho. Spilled milk now but from time to time try pulling a copy of your save from the folder and storing it elsewhere. This way if something like that happens you can roll back a bit. I assume you tried loading older saves. The folder does keep up to 9, I think. You'd lose progress between an older save and where you left off but you can get your Sim back from the grave before it's too late.
@simscognito Well I did stomp in here for other reasons. I see you have met my housemate @Park.
MotorMouth Alert!

You Been Warned, Fella!!!!
Actually I'm kidding. Kimmy eventually runs outta hot air.
Hope all's well for you now that we're a month removed from Holiday Time. I love that time of year but it's really only special because it's so short. Kinda like the fall leaves. Vibrant colors for a week, maybe two then Show's Over.
That's it for Off Topic from me. Carry On Guys and Dolls!

Hi @Miki Nice to meet you. Yep, I've met @Park. She's pretty awesome.
I am for sure joining! I recently created a blog for my Simlits! 1 for Sims 3 and 2 for Sims 4 (though i may start up new Simlits in the future). I'm still missing my last S4 story.

@LyricSimsz15 Welcome. I'm sure you'll get an official welcome from @CathyTea or @friendsfan367 but I thought I'd say hi. What kinds of SimLit do you write?

Hi, @LyricSimsz15 ! Welcome to the Writers' Lounge! When you're ready for readers, please share the link for your blog! That's neat you're writing in TS3 and TS4!
@TheYayToast Nice to see you over in the lounge. Yep, the pen pal project is a great idea.
@LyricSimsz15 Welcome! I agree with @CathyTea . Writing both Ts3 and Ts4 stories sound awesome, especially since both platforms influence different creative possibilities, especially regarding screenshots and plots; at least, that's what I've noticed when moving from ts3 stories to ts4 stories, not that I published any of my early ones ( @Bugsie2016 knows why - they were pretty bad XD - I let her peak at some of my oldies).

I didn't know there were different types of SimLits..
