Lucky Girl - Chapter 2.19 posted 20/04/23

Hello!
I've written a new story!
I don't know if people still read stories here? I used to do this back in the Sims 3 days and I loved it so much, and also loved reading other people's stories and legacies. I haven't been around for years, as life got in the way, but recently I've found that I've really been missing playing the game & coming up with stories for the characters and I thought I'd come back and give it another go on the sims 4.
Lucky Girl is about a girl called Evelyn who is spending her summer in a small seaside village with her two best friends, Kelly and Claire. While she's there she struggles for the first time with questions about her friendships, her future, and first love, as she meets a beautiful boy in a holiday house at the other end of the beach.
It's is not really a love story, It’s more about growing pains, and decisions in friendship and in love, and the way that it feels to be seventeen, nineteen, twenty one, the time in your life when everything is full of longing and life is busting with excitement and intensity.
I am writing it so that I might be able to put some of my own lingering feelings from that time into words. If nobody else reads, it, no problem, but if you do, I'll be super happy to have you on my blog!
Here's the link: https://luckygirlstory.wordpress.com/2022/08/10/chapter-one/
and my simblr in case you want to follow me there: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/hannahssimblr
Also! Please, if anyone has any recommendations for their favorite sims stories (including your own hehe) please drop a list in the thread - I'm really eager to get back into the community again

I have a handful of stories to suggest, but at the moment a few of them are on a break. The only ones I believe that are active at the moment are @HermioneSims 's Miller Legacy and @MonaSolstraale 's Tusnelda and Trix.
Looking forward to checking these out!
Evie and her friends meet a cute boy at the surf shack. He's nice, funny and so easy to talk to, so why does Evie feel so nervous around him?

I like how you really use the beach as your setting. The worlds aren't set dressing in your story, they're part of it.
Where may we read chapter 1? The link doesn't seem to be working.
Edit: Oh, and if you are looking for more story recommendations to read, here are some of my current favorites

SnowBnuuy didn't mention their own Divided
Your comment is very kind! It means a lot that you've read it
Oh awesome! Yes I've read a couple of these already and am loving them. Excited to check out the rest

Things are going so well between Evie and Liam. I'd be a shame if somebody tried to ruin it for them...
Read it on my blog here! https://luckygirlstory.wordpress.com/2022/09/01/chapter-five/
Evie goes to the exhibition in Dublin with Jen and Jude and has the best day ever, but she's taken by surprise by the feelings she's having for Jude...

It's actually a really nice surprise to have the rich, made-up girl who always looks exactly as she wants be the genuinely kind sort as well. The making the most of the summer feeling here actually feels more sad for me as a reader than anything? Probably because they're teenagers, and it's only a few years before adulthood swallows all their fun time so it feels like this might be one of the last times they can really have time to have these heart to hearts by the beach. I really love the descriptions of this, and how much she takes in all of her scenery but without it being over-descriptive.
Yes! I get a little tired of pretty girls being called out for being shallow in lit. It's for sure the case often in real life, but not always! Some of my most beautiful friends are the most humble and kind and I'm struck by how often people automatically assume that they'll be mean girls when they meet them. I'm also glad that the sadness of it being one of their last summers comes across because that was really the dominant feeling in my mind when I wrote it - that sense of 'we have to make the most of this time'.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful response
Evie feels confused about her feelings, and the question of whether she'll go to the Debs with Liam is only complicating things more...

I took a week off to go on my holidays, hence the delay but I'm back with a new chapter this evening!
Not too many interesting screenshots unfortunately - really all the characters were doing this time was standing around chatting. More action next time I promise!
In chapter 8, Evie is really starting to change her mind about Liam, but is she too awkward to turn down his invitation?
Read it here - https://luckygirlstory.wordpress.com/2022/09/28/chapter-eight/
Something suitably Halloweeny for this one as Jude and Evie explore an abandoned church outside of town, and he tells her a ghost story from his own life.
