    @Acarb90 I tried doing that too using the fence to force everyone to sit down. Henry still manages to refuse. He's so stubborn. :D Luckily, I use pose player, which forces him to sit down, but as soon as I give him free will, he pouts for the rest of the week. :D
    Yay a wedding! I'm not all caught up with your story yet, but I can imagine this is a big thing, given everyone seems to be caught up in high drama! Really enjoying the story so far. :)

    Thank you :heart:

    If i do get to do a wedding, expect something crazy to happen lol
    @bugsie2016 dont worry, i wont be killing anyone off. It would be too sad :(
    Great, plenty of chance then! Ending this conversation here before I wild theorise or something crazy. :lol:

    Anyone have a character that they kinda relate-to personality wise? Doesn't have to be your own!

    What a question! A part of myself exists in almost every one of my characters.

    I think, as @chalicen caught on to recently, my feelings of letting people down have bled into Cameron Grace's current outlook on life.

    My introverted and sometimes cynical nature was present in Brooke Grace, and my need to fix problems was present in Alicia Grace. I don't know that any of my Glassbolt characters are based on me...

    Miranda Cole of Pine Point is probably the only character that doesn't have traits inspired by myself, but rather she's the type of person I'd love to be.

    What about you @Bugsie2016 ?

    Well, going by stories. Gen 1 isn't like me. Claude is a little like me but i'm not that stressy. He's also the character I invested a short anecdote of my own life into, down to the exact thoughts in those moments! (Not all the crazy stuff either! :lol: ) He has a tiny little bit of me. Riley is nothing like me.

    Robin has my scary side when it comes to family. Like me, you insult her family or do anything in a way to harm them and she will explode at you. (Although you're less likely to expect it from me with my generally quiet nature! You could probably predict that of Robin.)

    which story is claude in ?

    BL! He's my gen 2 heir although he's pretty much the main character until after his own wedding. I like to switch out to the kids after the wedding!

    Robin is from WAWRMO!

    i know i'm not supposed to single people out but claude keeps coming up. and i didn't know where to look.

    thank you.

    In some senses-I can identify with all of my characters personality wise more or less.

    BTW is there a term to use when a group project makes ONE person do all work?

    I usually just put a fence around the perimeter of the venue and use the transporter statue. I dont put chairs because.....well you know sims never sit lol

    Im actually excited about doing a wedding for my story i just need to figure out which characters to wed . They are all too dysfunctional right now lol
    Leo & Ren? (Pretty sure that's your couple anyway. I can't remember right now :lol: )
    dont wanna spoil anything,but with the way the band is going, i dont think we will see any wedding bells in the near future :(
    :'( You did say 'near' future. I'm staying optimistic on this one. Well...nothing is 100% official and certain until one of them dies. :bawling:

    @Bugsie2016 Most of my characters have some elements in common with me though I would say Laila Kane from "No Shame" is the closest to me. It hasn't been shown much just yet but she is someone who is shy and introverted but wants to push herself out of her comfort zone to pursue her dreams.

    So she's basically me if I was better looking :P and a redhead :lol: : Oh right and if I was female :joy: So honestly it's still kind of a stretch :tongue:

    @MadameLee I thought they were lovely <3 I do love weddings, don't I @Bugsie2016 :D
    Ahh that's plum about the fall. Hope you feel better soon. :(
    How do you all like to conduct your sims weddings? Do you have a big event or do you like private weddings or do you prefer your sims not to have weddings?

    i do private. but once in generation 7 of a previous attempti tried a real one . the groom ran to work before it started so i went back to private.

    if you read my story
    (Harley) forces 2 other (lesser) characters to make America do the work on the residential school project
    . I just wanted a word for that since I'm doing a rewrite of my Swanson story (words only) for a bowling team member of mine

    hey guys what are examples of "small items" for America to steal? I know I could just look at Citizen's Ashes2Ashes story but I'm a bit lazy at the moment

    @Bugsie2016 I use a television behind the Sims getting married so the other Sims sit down and pay attention. Haha. I do need to edit out for screenshots but I just pause for that. In terms of whether to do a wedding, it depends on plot purposes. I spent about half a day setting up for Bella's wedding in LVB, and a few hours for Rachel in CFT. For Rachel's first time marrying Bill, I did a private wedding.

    @simscognito @CathyTea in 2016 during VEDS his second-to-last day of VEDS- Matt talked about Web-based storytelling which includes his sister's project/story called "The Art of Letter Writing" as well as mentioning that when "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries were a thing you could interact with the character of Lizzie at video-con, etc I was thinking that he would be impressed on our web-based storytelling with SimLit

    @Bugsie2016 in answer to your question as to whether anyone has a character they kind of relate to, I think you know the answer to that one. :D For those of you who read my story,
    Paris
    @Acarb90 your welcome. :) Ahh now I really want to catch up really quickly, unfortunately uni's started, so that might not be happening, but I'm crying all the same, because this wedding you're promising sounds awesomely dramatic! :'(
    @MadameLee Yes, I can imagine he would be impressed. You should write a chapter about it. :wink:

    @CathyTea I do occasionally "talk" to him via twitter..he's the only person (besides @RoryPlaysTheSims) who ever tweeted me back. Even though I did tweet Ross Petty (the Canadian actor whose plays I see in Nov/Dec) recently-about one of his coworkers since (coworker) is or will be in Murdoch Mysteries at some point. Like I teased him recently on twitter about him getting an Instagram-he's always late to the social media party. And he liked it..

    @simscognito How in the world would I do a chapter about sim Matt's being impressed about a SimLit story (because of it being a webbased) storytelling

    @MadameLee Matt thinks he is reading a simLit and is very impressed with it... then he finds out he is part of the simLit, a bit like The Never Ending Story. :D

    And I am really loving how distinctive the personalities and preferences are!
