Hi 
I thought I may make a thread for my story too This idea was bit "scary" to me and thank you to persons in other thread and elsewhere who gave me courage to start this
It's sort of story with no beginning and no ending, things have happened in Simsworld before it started and will continue to do so after I have ended telling about it.
It is about bunch of sims, living in different worlds , seemingly strangers , whose lives are somehow connected to each others and to this mysterious abandoned Villa.
I kept posting bits in "What happened in your game today" - thread during this year, Im not copying it all here, just a tiny flashback and few latest posts.

Lia and Keala
In Sulani, Chief Keala is hoping to keep the title in the family,
she is hoping her grand daughter Lia would agree to marry Laki, the future chief of Sulani tribe. Lia is not so happy about the idea, and keeps refusing her grandmom's suggestions.
Keala might need help from Elementals. But she does not know what she has against her , untill old scars are ripped open.
Justine
In Tartosa, Justine, starting journalist and writer, is struggling with her career and her own identity.
She wants to write something more than travel books or program flyers to weddings or her blog in Tartosan Post.
But how would that be possible if she does not believe it herself?
Lia helped her to find a way for basic income, they became best friends, or more.
She also hears beautiful, but sad piano music from Villa up in hill, every night.
Lewis and his master
A stranger moved to Villa up in vineyard, with his staff. He is the one playing that pianomusic.
Hanna
Hanna's dream is to be great photographer.
She has lived her whole life in Brindleton Bay,but now rented an apartment, in Evergreen Harbour.
She is always looking for new roommate, for some reason those often leave.
She has made decicion to be forever single, as she believes there is no love left for her.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Young man was swimming at Ohan'ali beach..
Parts of their conversation was overheard.
He came out of water.. took a deep breath.
He was invited to a dinner the next day .. what he was not waiting with joy..
He was called Laki Mahi'ai, half brother of Nalani. One day, he was to become, the future chief of Sulani.
A bit later at elsewhere..
Keala could not sleep, she was thinking about what she hear earlier.. maybe she needed help from spirits or elementals after all..
But it was silent and nice when Lia returned.
Not even thunderstorm woke them up.. spirits seemed angry that night.
Next morning..
Keala made breakfast and they discussed about the dinner tonight, where Keala had invited Laki over.
"Out of the question, young lady! You will come and show our guest how charming you can be! It's very important that we keep this in family!"
"Granpa never even were supposed to be the chief!! Have you totally forgetting that?? He only was, because Laki was just a baby when all that happened in that Villa!!"
"Watch your mouth, Lia!!!! We NEVER talk about it! You will marry Laki and that's it! I promised to elementals!"
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
Justine was doing her Morning routine. Painting in town, taking a break from writing.
Then se got a phone call, it was Lia, who sounded upset.
Justine asked her to hop in the ferry and get over here.
Justine asked Lia to meet her near beach.
She was happy to come, things at home were getting tedious.
Justine asked her why she was so tense, she told her the main parts.
Justine suggested they would relax in beach, things could not be that bad there were no solution. Lia will find a way, she was sure about it.
Evergreen Harbour
At that same morning, it was rainy in Conifer Station.
Hanna is searching for photographer gigs. She is not yet very good at it, but getting better.
She keeps checking the roommate adds too, still nobody was interested.. shame, she really could use some help with rent.
One thing is clear. Rainy , polluted Conifer Station was not good place to start.
She found a gig for nice pictures to tourist guide in Tartosa. She would jump right in the bus after breakfast.
It still was very early when she got there.
Sun was still rising up. It would be a hot day, for sure.
She ran behind to big Villa to find amazing view!
Someone had walked behind her.
"HEY!! You! What are you doing here?"
"Oh.. hi.. I.. I was just taking pictures.. I'm Hanna 🐸🐸🐸🐸.."
"I don't care who you are! This is private property! No trespassing, there is a sign right over there, near road! JUST GO!"
"Hmm, Sir, wasn't that a bit rough?"
"Perhaps, Lewis, perhaps. I'm really tired. I go and play the piano a bit."
"Alright Sir. Uhm and they called from the hospital.."
"Not now, Lewis, not now."
More far from that Villa Hanna was, better she felt.
Sun was up, and beautiful surroundings made her feel inspired again.
She was really getting better at this. Time to go home and send the pictures. Hopefully those will be approved.
Back at Sulani
Keala has everything ready..
Lia gave up enough to change clothes.
Keala could not do anything but smile while waiting for dish to be ready, She had strong feeling about this!
Everything was ready, they heard Laki stepping to front porch.
"Good evening, ladies" Laki started when barely inside. "I hope you don't mind I brought my little brother, Miha? He came home suddenly and I did not want to leave him alone at his first day back here."
"Hey gals! Wassuuup? U have wifi here? Hey cool, food, I'm so hungry!"
Suddenly Lia had her good mood back, seemed unlikely this evening would be discussion about marriage! Of Course Miha was welcome, he can use Lia's laptop if he wished!
Keala, in the other hand...

When Hanna came back from Tartosa, she was going to mail her photos, but she froze still and kept looking at the picture at her desk.
It was a picture of herself with her best friend Lotta as young teens, taken near their childhood homes in Brindleton Bay.
Hanna felt so lonely sometimes here in strange town , all by herself. She missed Lotta. Something happened to her family back then, in that one summer. Lotta moved right away, she and her little sister were sent from places to places , and their communication just ended.
After sending the photos, it was time for a nap. Weather was still miserable.
Later she got a note that unfortunately her pictures were sent too late, they were sorry and wished better luck next time...
Bummer! She had hoped so much.
She left to have a drink at bar in train station.
"That clock is at wrong time.. its almost 7pm..." She muttered while walking.
On her way there, she saw voting board. She now knew how these things work, and why not vote for the community space.
If possible it rained even more.
Better hurry, maybe she would crab something to eat too...
Train to Moonwood Mill was announced from half broken speakers. Everything was in so horrible condition in here..
She ordered white nectar.
Pregnant lady sat next to her. Hanna could not help it but say something.
"I'm sorry , lady, but sim in your state should not be in a bar! Drinking is not healthy for pregnant sims."
Lady smiled and replied she was there just for have a milkshake after long day of trying to change sims minds. Huh?
"Anyway, nevermind me. I saw you at Conifer Station community space earlier.... if you don't mind telling, what did you vote? Of course only if you like to tell..."
"Oh, I can tell , I voted for garden. Did I mess it up? Would be so typical, I always mess up.."
"No no no, it's perfect! One person less to try to change their minds!"
....What ever that meant.
After Hanna had listened the ECO lady a bit more, she was so tired she had to leave home.
"Someone should do something to that clock!"
At Sulani.
The dinner continued in awkward silence.
All of the sudden Keala cheered up!
"I have an idea! Why don't you and Lia have a little stroll out at the beach? It's so lovely out there."
"Granma...."
"But I insist. Miha here can surely find something to do with that laptop of Lia's?"
"Sure, yeah!! Cool"
"Shall we sit at that bench?"
"Sure, why not."
Time passed by, finally Lia broke the silence.
"How long have you been here now?"
"Couple of weeks.. Nalani asked me to come home."
"Mmmmh.. Do you remember anything from it?" Lia asked and nodded towards Lani St. Taz.
"Not much actually, I was so little when it happened." Laki answered. "I was not supposed to be there that day, I was playing with the girls."
"I remember smoke, flames, screaming and ... I remember her .. standing there.. smiling.. so calm.." He continued.
" We don't really talk about it in here." Lia mentioned silently.
Silence again.
"Okay, I will be honest! Grandma has this super silly idea of you and me getting married. I can tell you at least ten reasons why its a bad idea! Let me start, one, I don't love y..." Lia spoke loudly all the sudden.
"I don't want to marry you." Laki interrupted her.
" What?"

Milla is originally from hotter place, but some things were leading to another,
now she lives in Evergreen Harbour.
She is educated cheff, but is now going to be a city planner.. and is engaged to local activist, Knox Greenburg.
Milla was on her daily check up visit at Conifer Station. weather was horrible.
But thats why she was there, to make sure green options are voted.
Conifer Station wasn't really her "area" , and she was careful not to step on Tina Tinker's toes too much.
Her growing belly did not make this any easier.
she managed to visit the bar at train station. For one milkshake before going home. Little chat with possible voters.
~~~~~~~~~~
Train to Moonwood Mill had arrived. That reminded her something she has to do. Something she hoped to avoid.
Meanwhile in Tartosa
After Lia left, Justine had a jog.
Sun was getting set.
Back home, after long relaxing bath, she decided to finish the brochure about Tartosa.
She got pictures late, and of course those did not match at her text... So typical.
She had to do everything all over again.
Oh if only she had her own photographer, but that's not allowed to little writers like she.. but one can dream, right?
Speaking of dreams.. again that strange piano music... it sounded dreamy in this silent night.
But why it had to be so sad?
Next morning at Port Promise
Milla and Knox lived at small shipping container house.
Weather was bit better than last night.
while making breakfast, they had the same subject than so often lately.
"Honey, have you considered what I said to you the other day?" Knox started again. "I really think it is important that you tell about this baby to your siblings.. Its not the child's fault that parents and grandparents don't get along...."
"Nope. There is a reason I don't talk with my sister, you know that." She replied, while frying the eggs.
"Oh and I saw an advertise of a private investigator in SimNation Mail. You could visit him in city, to find your brother. He is specialized to missing persons."
Milla took her empty plate and moved to sink.
"He is not missing. He is hiding. From the world. He does not want to be found. And I don't want to find him. Period."
She said, while washing the plate.
*CRACK!!!*
"Sweetie, I would truly appreciate if our plates would stay as whole.."
~~~~~~~~~~
End of discussion.
~~~~~~~~~~
Later, at community space, Milla took the subject up again.
"I'm sorry. I have already planned to visit Emma someday. I will go to city too, I was planning on buying some baby stuff anyway. "
"Thank you, love."

Whoa, Lewis has a temper, doesn’t he? Poor Hanna just wanted to take some pictures. Then again, if I had a mansion and people kept walking around the bluffs to take pictures in my backyard, I’m sure I’d be annoyed, too. 🤭 Who does he have that’s in the hospital, I wonder?
Oooh, Laki just straight-up refused the marriage idea too, did he? And Lia actually seems surprised that he doesn’t want her 😆 be happy, Lia! That means she has nothing to worry about 😁
I wonder if the pictures that Justine was sent, were the same pictures that Hanna took and that got rejected?
It’s fun to see how everyone’s paths are crossing and diverging again. I'm looking forward to seeing where it all leads!
Lewis is actually the butler , his master, still not named here, has the temper (I hope you don't mind me correcting
edit: Funny detail, writing above made me instantly remember I mixed up names in comment about Kip
Haha yes I am afraid Lia got a tiny hit to her ego there
Justine got the pictures what made the cut, Hanna posted hers too late. Justine never saw her pics

One morning, couple of days later, Lia was knocking at Justine's door..
"Sorry, I was in my thoughts." Lia answered and sat next to Justine.
"How did the dinner go the other day?"
Lia told everything. Justine could not help but chuckle a bit.
"To me you sound a bit annoyed by what he said." Justine teased. "Were you expecting him to be sad because you do not want him?"
"No, nonsense!"
"Hmmm.. you sure?" Justine continued.
"YES! I am annoyed because he refused to tell me his reasons, thats all.. STOP laughing!!!"
"Okayyy.. I stop!! Before you blow up." Justine laughed. "I'll make some sandwiches, would you join me?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I am interested , though.. what did you meant by saying your family should not be Chief at all?"
"Oh its a long story, I don't know much as I was not born yet or very little when these things happened."
"I have no hurry."
"Okay, here's what I have heard..." She started.
"The Chief before my grandpa, was a sort of mean, ruthless man. He was not young anymore, no family, lived at Chief's Villa at Lani St. Taz. That is why Island Council with Elementals, made a decision , if he would die without a son, the title would go to other powerful islander, who happened to be Laki's grandfather."
"But then, as a surprise to many, the Chief did marry, to beautiful young lady from Selvadorada , called Catarina. They had 3 children, one of them, the long wanted son, the heir.
But something happened, I really don't know what. It was not a happy family. Arguments, yelling, all in public.. and lets be honest, everyone knows everyone in such a small place... gossips were wild."
"Then was the catastrophe.. Fire at Chief's Villa, it was called Villa Catarina then. "
"Old Chief and his wife died, I'm not sure but they say children did too."
"There were rumours it was not an accident. I was told to shut up when I asked about it.. . "
"Grandpa became the Chief , because Lakis grandfather and father both passed away in a plane crash at desert, near Strangerville." Lia continued. "Granma got to be the Chief only because she is good friends with Elementals."
"Oh wow. That's a story. But seeing Laki is back, I can see why your grandma wants you two together."
"I'm glad I don't have to worry about that anymore, grandma cannot do a thing!" She said and took a bite.
"Hmm, I would not be so sure.." Justine said mostly to herself. "I hope you are right."
Samuel and Erin
Same morning, not as sunny, in a village far from Tartosa.
Samuel, Erin and their little family live at small cottage in the heart of Hendford-on-Bagley.
Something had been bothering Erin for over a week now.
"Sam, have you read the paper this morning?"
"No, honey, not yet. Why?" he replied, and tried to shoo the ce cat away from his feet. "Harriet, you have food over there, let me give some to Elli too."
"Its about my brother. I saw an advertisement about a private detective. we should contact him."
Erin's younger brother had planned to visit them, they had date settled and all, but he never came. Erin has not reached him from phone either.
"I know he would not make me worry in purpose. Village constable said he must of been only lost on his way here, and did not want to report it yet." She almost whispered. "But I know better! Something is badly wrong!"
"Of course I call them, if it makes you feel better." he replied, and smiled after and continued "But let's eat first, or my belly will do all the talking."
"Thank you , dear. Oh poor Elli, she had to wait all my rambling"
Laki
He had a train to catch..
He had not told about Keala's plans to anyone yet.. especially not to..
"Oh Sorry! My bad! I was in my thoughts and did not look!" He said, after almost crashing with Knox.
"No problem."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What took you so long?" Voice behind him asked.
