    YouTube, why you gotta show me ads for Wendy's? China doesn't have Wendy's, and now I want a frosty so bad :cry:

    I need advice from simmmers that write and that have been around the forums for a LOOONG time!

    I'm guessing @CathyTea @CitizenErased14 ? @SummerFalls ?

    And anyone else that feels equipped with the knowledge for my question.

    I have a story idea for a casual story (maybe a legacy) but I think it might already have been done (I'm 90% it would have been).

    So basically the idea is that I would somehow wake up in the game :D And after a few futile attempts realize I can't exit.. so I would start a legacy. Has this been done already?

    Even if it has I don't mind and I'll do it legacy style but if it hasn't been done might make an interesting story out of it.

    So has any of you read anything like that anywhere around? :D

    @Lizzie1234 Hellooo! Nice to meet you! :smiley: How are you?

    @Derubelle I haven't been around very long, so I guess I can't really answer your question, because I have no idea. :lol: But I would totally read something like that!

    @Derubelle Legacies have been done before, but they're very versatile so you could easily make it your own. You could make up your own succession law, make up an interesting backstory for why your founder starts the legacy, or make up a theme that you follow all the way through (and have a rebellious generation not follow it!). As long as you enjoy writing it, there will be readers that will want to read it.
    The waking up and not being able to exit part is familiar, and I know that people have done legacies with simselves before (but that isn't stopping me from eventually doing one like that as well).

    By the way my cookbook is finished now. We will send it soon to the printery and I am so excited. By now it is just for me and my co-workers but who knows how this will develope. Keep your fingers crossed :#

    @friendsfan367 yeah! I always loved that there was a character with the same name as me on full house when I was younger. Is fuller house good? I haven't watched it yet.

    @Lizzie1234 I'm good too, thanks! I'm also kinda trying to work out what I'm doing with everything. :lol: I have this tendency to try to do too many things and getting overwhelmed and quitting all of them. So I'm trying to figure out a balance.

    @Marialein that's awesome! Good luck with it! I hope it goes well for you. :) I'm always in the market for a good cookbook. I can't cook to save my life.

    Oh I know that feeling! I decided to join this thread last summer and I managed to cover three and a half generations (67 chapters roughly) of my legacy in July and August. Then I headed off to university and have only written four or five chapters between September and now :joy: I'm sure you'll figure out a balance and find your feet :p You don't have to quit though, you can just put some things on the backburner for a while and come back to them :)

    @Lizzie1234 yeah! I'm just starting a new job so I'm trying to remind myself not to jump into anything new until I get settled. I have a youtube channel that I'd really like to get back to using though. It was fun when I was recording let's plays and stuff.
    What are you in uni for? :)

    @friendsfan367 haha, darn those sims and their non co-operations! and they almost made it right too!

    @Derubelle I know @SummerFalls did that in his rocky road story though it wasn't his simself and it's not a legacy :D just the general theme of someone falling into the game.
  • Spottydog714Spottydog714 Posts: 2,518 Member
    @DreamsInPixels Cool! I'll check it out at some point.
    @Lizzie1234 Hi! Welcome!
    @Derubelle I know @Darra84 has done something similar where you fall into a game - but not a legacy.

    When your ISBI spouse has twin alien babies... Err... :o

    @SimmerSteffie That house looks cool! Are you putting it on the Gallery? It looks kind of like the Estate Home that The Sim Supply did.
  • SimmerSteffieSimmerSteffie Posts: 723 Member
    @Pegasus143 Yeah, the exterior/shape of it was definitely inspired by that build! I love his builds, but I wanted to actually do it on my own, so I just took screenshots of the build and went for it. :)

    I could put it on the gallery, but there's a lot of cc in it.
    I think I'm going to do a replication eventually on my YT channel with no cc, and I'll put that one on. ^^

    I haven't read anything exactly like this! And even if there's anything similar, I say "Do it!" You will make it your own! :)

    @Derubelle It was @Darra84 's story that I was thinking of but I couldn't remember what her username was on here. @SummerFalls 's Rocky Road is kind of similar, except the main character gets stuck in a TV show and not the game itself.
    If I remember right it's @JordanNicoleJJ and @MadameLee who have simself legacies.

    Oh cool! Whats the new job? I'm sure you'll be settled soon enough :p Oh that's so cool I love watching Let's Plays :P
    I'm studying Psychology, getting my BSc at the minute :) in my second year so I don't have as much time as I'd like to mess around and write my stories haha :D

    I'll wait for you to do it with no cc- I do use cc but my computer isn't the best so I don't want a lot of high-poly realistic stuff clogging it up.
