    Hi everyone! Thank you! :)

    @Bear31 I love the art in-game, especially the kids' drawings. They're so cute. I haven't managed to max out the creativity skill on any of my kids yet but I really want to so I can see all the drawings.

    I meant to ask - which platform tends to be the most popular for posting the stories? I'm using Weebly but I'm really not sure about it.

    They are all pretty cool! The one I wish sims could do is to take a pic of themselves and paint it! I would LOVE that, but don't think its possible. If it is, I have no clue how to do it. I use Tumblr, which I think is awesome, however others here use wordpress.

    Hmm. I'll have to check wordpress out then, thanks!

    That picture is 100% me. Or while I'm in-game, I think of all kinds of things to write and then I actually go to write them - nope.

    @BBQPenguinWings not sure if it would have the effects you want, but picmonkey has a decent collage making feature. Sorry you're not feeling well. :(

    I thought about picmonkey. I'll test it and make sure the image shows up clear and large enough. I have A lot of lag on that site bc of all the ads. My ad blocker doesn't seem to work

    And thank you and welcome :)

    @SimmerSteffie I will also throw in a vote for WordPress :) their mobile app is questionable (haha), but their actual website is pretty easy to use and also seems to be the most popular method of posting stories :)

    I also think (kinda like @Carewren123 said) the ability to comment/interact with readers and authors is very easy on WP :)

    I tried WP the first time I tried my hand at sim stories, and I had some issues with the image thing on there. Not sure if it was just me, but I couldn't figure out a way to organize the images like I wanted. In the library, not the post itself.

    That would be awesome! Like the paint from reference feature sort of! I wish that feature wasn't restricted to the area around you. Like if you could use a picture you took or something. That'd be really cool.

    Amazing!!! :) that's a great accomplishment! (Oh my goodness though, if you're planning on making all 10 generations that long, that thing is gonna be like the Illiad when it's all over :lol: hehe I'm just teasing)

    You've reminded me that I need to update my word count document soon... I'm hoping I'll make it to 100,000 words before it's over!

    I actually left most of my images on Weebly, so their still hosted there. So I'm not exactly sure about the issue you're talking about. I do know though that you can search your images, so you could try a naming system that would make finding the pics you want easier. Something like: [insert story name here]_Chaper1_pic1

    I'm anticipating gen two to be even longer. :D It's sort of a series thing, just all packaged on one convenient blog.

    @JoieWilder your legacy is actually one of the first I started reading. I love the different perspectives.

    That's actually really helpful, thank you!

    Wooh, as of today I officially have had 1,001 visitors on my blog! :) I know that a very small portion of those people actually READ, but it's cool to see that over 1,000 people have found their way onto my blog somehow :lol: (and with 12,000-ish views, I guess the average person makes it to when Lucas and Ev get together, then give up and decide they must have lived happily ever after? :lol:)

    I love the pose player *flails* it is so nice to get those animations that are native to the game without getting more poses (I think I have enough of them as it stands)

    One more chapter to screenshot. I want to post the last two at the same time.

    @SummerFalls how did you make your family tree for the Divine's? I've got a family tree on familyecho but it's not exactly pretty.
