    Oh fantastic !!! I'm going to look it over and see who I've missed reading xD
    And read some more. Especially since I'm not writing at the moment. My bum is being kicked by this baby in me.

    I have to double check but I'm pretty positive I chose 37 kuti for Alex. Because I love the number xD

    Yesterday I got my first game playing time in awhile. . . XD and I spent it finishing up this challenge with some screenshots. It's not going to leave the most fantastic story. But I needed to just play and this is what I chose.

    So a few more parts coming soon to finish up the story.

    That's awesome! It will feel great to wrap up, huh? I really enjoyed this challenge a lot. Good job, Pinstar-Team!

    Yeah. Just got figure out how I'm going to work the time jumps because I really did just need a good play session. XD and didn't focus on screenshots or wrote the story in my head as I played.

    My story forum link , I linked back to this thread in it. I just finally got "the bear phase" out today, and I've got another part lined up to publish tomorrow. I had some inspiration to finally write, and I'm letting that inspiration flow while I've got it. :smiley:

    My part of this story is probably gonna be ending fairly soon. ^^ I may write with them again some time, like Cathy did with the lighthouse :D I'll just have to see where things go. But Amy and Alex will be available for anyone who wants to download them in game. I have a couple different stages saved.. somehow forgot to save the teenage years. oops. xD

    I'm starting the challenge. I'll start at a 1 for involvement, go up to a 2, maybe 5. If I could claim a number, maybe, hmm, 53, that would be great! My story will be found here: https://pinmat135simstorieshome.wordpress.com/category/the-story-of-a-miracle/

    Hi! I'm sharing a chapter from my other story that crosses over with our alien lore, so it might be interesting to some:

    Forget-Me-Not Chapter 42: The Short Life of Iradekakir

    I hope you enjoy.

    Out of curiosity, who else is still doing this challenge (and participating in the collab)? I'd like to be able to bring in other alien children who aren't young adults or older as well as those from finished challenges.

    @Pinmat135 I'd like to get back to writing my story. It's been on a break forever. I'm at the child-phase with my extra-T. I'll gladly collab with you if you want. My story is here: Stardust Sapling

    How would I say "I miss you" in Vingihoplo? I know "I miss" would be E hashi, but I don't know how to put "you" on the end of that, since that would be an object and the language has no objects. (In case you're wondering, this is for a song my alien toddler sings.)

    @Pinmat135 Think about what the person being missed would be doing. Are they going away or gone away? Are they also missing the misser? It could be like I miss-miss you as well. We could invent a word for "being absent" or "not being here"? Or you can do that too, Pin! We'll then add it to the dictionary.

    What do the others involved with Vingihoplo think about the sentence?

    I'd love to invent a word, but it'd probably be A. too long, B. unpronounceable, or C. all of the above. Probably C. sigh

    Himala (that's my alien's name) is singing this song to her siblings. The rough translation is:

    My siblings
    Big, small, big and small
    I miss you
    Why did you go?
    Will you come back?
    All alone
    All alone
    All alone...


    I have everything except for "I miss you."

    @Pinmat135 Okay, so how about tiyoki for "not being here"? I combined place: tiyu, no: yo and a verb-sounding end. :D

    Guys, did we have a word for to be? We have to have, but I didn't find the be anywhere...

    So the conjugated form for I miss you would be E hashizi-tiyokizi O or archaically E hashiki-tiyokifi O, if I'm not totally wrong. Or if it's kid-talk, the conjugations can be left out. Hope this helps.

    @RipuAncestor We deliberately left out "to be".
