    Question: Who is your favourite townie (ea/maxis made sim)?
    Mine is very obvious but if you don't know it's Bob Pancakes cause he fathered Claude who fathered Riley who is my favourite sim. They don't look anything alike though :D

    Seriously...this is Riley (as a teen cause it's easier to see)

    Here's a pic of Bob (even though you're all probably familiar with him anyway)
    bob.png?w=174&h=172

    You've possibly seen Claude as my avi pic a few times so no pic needed (he's the one with glasses and brown eyes).

    @Bugsie2016 I'm enjoying Catarina Lynx in Brindleton Bay. She's spunky and has a quirky personality and attire.

    I also really like Don Lothario. He's a surprisingly sweet guy to most of my Sims. I'm almost bummed I removed townies from my Simself challenge but I wanted unique Sims. I'll probably have townies in other stories.

    oh so catrinas like you.

    ducks.

    I haven't actually played as Catarina Lynx yet. She's shown up a few times with her cats when i've played as a vet though.

    @Bugsie2016 lol, he's a character. :D
    @CharmingMaruska Aww a fairytale wedding! They're the best. <3 and thank you. Yes it is my work. I got a bit carried away with photoshop. :D

    hey guys I need a name for the 'sequel' to the Once Upon a time Princess changelle I did. I also need more ideas for plot ideas for in the story itself

  • simscognitosimscognito Posts: 16,599 Member
    How about 'Happily Ever After'? since your original challenge's title is the beginning of a fairytale, the sequel's title could be the ending. It also could be a nice bit of irony, since I can't imagine any major character in a sequel really experiencing a happily ever after - although they might at the very end.

    you are right none of my story characters receive a HEA except for the Disney sims and the simmer's simselves in my Disney-simself save. kidnapping, Cinderella-stories, bullying, etc are some of what's in my sim stories

    I'm just exploring sims-related lit for the first time, and I simply can't get over how incredibly talented everyone is. The amount of time and detail you guys put into your work is astounding. I've just been practicing how to take screenshots in the game, and I feel like you really have to fight the interface every step of the way--you guys make it seem effortless though. Anyhow, this is going to be a great resource for me going forward if I ever decide to create something myself.
  • LexiePixieLexiePixie Posts: 6 New Member
    @D20 (Regarding screen shots) my tip is to focus on the game the keys will come naturally as u play more but something you can also do is make a button key saying what each key does i have mine taped to my desk it is very helpful for me.

    Thanks @D20 for your kind words. There's lots of great simlit here. Good luck with your screenshots - they can be a bother at times. We've all been there. XD

    thank you and welcome, @D20. I'm trigger happy with the C key. :p So I take a million screenshots and then pick based on plot. I also don't really edit mostly because I'm lazy and it's time consuming, but also because I like the organic look of the game. If you ever have questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We're a friendly bunch.

    you want to hear something cool.


    Brian Was Asked By The Lady That Used To Take me Shopping to thanksgiving dinner and he told her he had plans with me. which since she now hates me she tried to talk him out of and he told her he was going to moms with me. so he stood up for me.

    After dad died i was avoiding her because i was a mess. avoiding brian was a unfortunate consequence. but he picked me.

    Hello, @D20 nice to meet you! Regarding screenshots - you can alway get rid of the interface by pressing Tab key while in Live Mode. That helps a great deal. There's also a SimLit guide (link) where you can find many useful tips. Or just ask any question you have in this thread :smile: Good luck!

    @D20 @CharmingMaruska: learning about tab mode for the first time is a key milestone for any simlitter. ;)@D20 listen to us now instead of shooting even more chapters without it. Life is never gonna be the same. ;)
