Hello everyone! Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! Makes today extra special for me, that's for sure - thanks for remembering even though I haven't been around much.
Work has been very hectic this January, but I hope things will calm down soon. We'll be celebrating Chinese New Year next month so I think people will be in a better mood, which helps!
I'm so grateful for each and everyone of you! This community of writers is amazing.
*ninjapig brings by lots of delicious birthday cake for everyone* What's a birthday without sharing cake, after all? Especially ninjapig coloured slices.
So I just made this, for those who follow peoples legacy until the latest, or those who don't care about spoilers I just made a video of people's legacy genealogy.
Hi Everyone! A new chapter is up for the Wolf Pack Challenge. This is the first challenge that I have ever played on short lifespan and it is making me nervous for my character, Rusty. I am going to have to come up with a strategy to make mega simoleons. I do have a few ideas, though, so I guess we'll see how I do. Cross your fingers for Rusty.
Hey there, I was wondering; what are everyone's thoughts on addressing agender/genderless characters in narration?
The chapter I'm currently writing introduces an agender character who uses they/them pronouns. I'm worried that this might become confusing if I refer to them this way during the narrative. Would having a singular character referred to as 'they' confuse you? If so, would it be better for me (as the narrator) to always address them by name/some other title? Any other ideas?

I wouldn't find it confusing. @simscognito has a character that is a tiny bit similar (I don't really want to compare them. ) who uses both he/him & she/her pronouns. I don't find it too confusing because cog explained it. Maybe explain it briefly so the readers understand. You only need to bring it up once in an author's note or something to stop confusion. I am not the best person to give advice so feel free to ignore this...

That's probably a good idea. I hadn't thought to use an author's note at all. Thanks for the input!

@IchigoUsagi there's a tv series called Billions that has an agender character called Taylor with the same pronouns. What they did was have Taylor state what their pronouns were in their first meeting with the boss. It wasn't cheesy at all, trust me.
I finally decided to get the height slider mod, considering Shaela is supposed to be so much taller than everyone else. It took a bit of playing around, some of the variables looks weird but I'm happy with this one:
@Munterbacon That's a very cool idea! I'm 4'9" and always think my simself looks out of place.
How is everyone doing this fine Saturday?
I just got home from the dentist. Had a wisdom tooth removed and definitely feeling less wise at the moment. It ended up being a deeper root than the dentist expected and now I'm on stronger pain meds than I thought I'd be on! Feeling loopy. Curled up in bed to catch up on simlit. I may or may not lurk here / fall asleep.

So, I'm not that small then??? I'm 5 ft 5.5 inches. 5 ft 6 inches on weekdays (shoes!) I'm considered kinda small but then that's compared to my 'little' bro who's nearly 6ft (I have no idea exactly how tall)...
Anyway, enough of my height. I'm doing good! I hope that you're okay and the pain doesn't hit when the pain meds wear off (apparently that's a thing, I don't know from personal experience though)
