Time Marches On

Welcome to my new thread. Here I will be posting my all new saga called TIME MARCHES ON. I will be using a personally revised version of
Build Newcrest and Decades Challenges as guide posts for the story. For those who would like to play this version, I will be posting the details of it later on the Lonse Star Simlit Page
TIME MARCHES ON


In Southern Oklahoma lies 16 square miles of opportunity. Multiple families will risk everything to stake their claims and leave their marks. It is a legacy whose foundation will be built on sweat, tears and blood. It is called...Newcrest.

    I am going to need to do an overhaul n Time Marches On, what I had originally planned is not going to work due to the appropriate CC not being available. I will start posting new content very soon though. Thanks for your patience.

    Doing this new series has become a bit of an obsession. Which is a good thing. I am really trying to put my heart and soul into the characters and the story. However I have run into some issues. The chief among them is the massive magnitude the story is becoming. What started out as a five generation re write of my previous saga The Hourglass Legacy has turned into something epic.

    My original plan was to do a short mini-series before jumping into the actual building of Newcrest, however as I have studied the history and worked out the timelines, this saga has taken a life of it's own. It will come with a set of challenges, mostly due to the limitations of the Sims 4 closed world, and the background objects that will plague my screenshots (Which will mean a lot of photo editing and fancy camera work) Despite the challenges it will be something way beyond my original vision.

    The mini-series has gone from a single generation I planned to summarize to two full generations. Going back to the very beginning. I say all that to say this. Instead of doing the mini-series, I will be jumping right into Generation One, except instead of five Generations, I will now be writing seven full Generations, beginning the story in 1871, and ending it in 2022.  Depending on how long each Generation ends up being.

    As things stand right now, I plan to start posting next week. As well as adding a few fun things along the way like character profiles and the like.

    I will not be doing a Casting Call for the first Generation, but there will be one for every Generation after that. I hope you are going to enjoy reading this saga as much as I am enjoying putting it together.

    This sounds like a huge undertaking! The history alone should be fasinating. Good luck with your story. I am looking forward to reading it.

    Nice beginning! I really love it. It’s different from what we usually see with generations coming and going and no changes in technology.

    @AudreyFld Thank you! When I decided to do a legacy story I wanted to add a bit a realism by having time pass in a more tangible way, where it wasn't just the characters changing but the world around them as well. I hope everyone will enjoy the journey.

    Cool first chapter. Getting a bit of a Red Dead Redemption vibe off the story so far.

    @VanPelt81 Interesting perception. I never played that game myself but it looks awesome. There is definitely some similarities.

    @Busufu @AudreyFld I miss the horses and open world soooo much too. I am glad you guys are liking the scenery. It is taking a bit of "camera" magic to get the scenery right without the aggravation of background images. Sims 4 is awesome for doing a modern day "suburban/urban" story but trying to get rural setting is a bit tricky. It is a bit challenging but fun.

    @AudreyFld Love is indeed in the air. Anne is sweet isn't she. How can you not love someone who has such a love for animals?
