    Posted in the second Bouncy Castle thread, but thought I'd post here, too.

    Okay, so I'm fishing for ideas/feedback for the next two chapters I'm trying to plan out. They will be perspective chapters that deal with the character's thoughts/feelings after their breakup. I was thinking that Jasmina's perspective could be a journal entry since she enjoys writing and seems to be something she'd naturally do to get her feelings out. With Caleb, I'm not too sure exactly how to play out his perspective chapter quite yet but I do know that it leads to his descent into depression and substance abuse. These chapters take place roughly a month after the breakup.

    Perspective chapters are new territory for me, does anyone have tips/suggestions on how to write them? Thanks

    Help! My toddler keeps sleeping for about a minute and then getting out of bed sad and tired. Does anyone know why?

    This has happened to me before, but I didn't figure out what caused it. Usually putting the bed in storage and placing it again fixed this.

    Would love to hear a first hand experience from someone!

    Random seasons question though: does anyone know if we can set seasons like we did in TS3? I'm concerned about weather changing too fast for my legacy. Hoping I can just set it to be "spring only" etc.
    Just popping by!

    I had a terrible day of work and I feel sad and defeated. I am going to take a nice, hot shower, then maybe read a little.

    I hope you all are doing well. <33

    *electronic hugs* Feel better @aroseinbloom !

    If all else fails there's still the weather machine, as confirmed in the trailer. But yeah it would be nice to set seasons, I'm sure it can be modded in even if the game doesn't come with the feature.

    It's in the most recent chapter... and it refers to one Sim being a doctor, and another Sim not being a doctor... That's all the spoilery you'll get from me!

    Week 27 of my Legacy is out!

    And just for anyone who keeps up with my stories, I am approaching week 38 of my pregnancy, so my updates are going to be a bit farther apart now instead of every day. (:

    I love the idea, it's great to crawl into their skin, and look at the world through their eyes.... I tend to use lots of dialogue, so maybe he could meet up with a friend or relative, or even call one? Maybe even call a helpline...??

    I just really like this thread, it's great fun seeing so many stories, so much creativity!!

    @aroseinbloom hope you're having a better day!
