Wishing all Simmers a memorable Purple Day this year, as we remember our Sims who've kept their appointments with Grim.
Who will you remember today?
I'm not sure who to remember, since most of the characters who died in Chronicles were very unpleasant people.
I could go with Chronicles Harwood's parents, given that they appear alive at some point in my November Short Story. That might be a bit of a stretch though.
I wrote a post about Jennifer Martinez, a deceased Sim in KCLKF, and also shared a few of my favorite Sims who have passed on for a SimLit Celebration over on my blog here.
Expect nothing less than the long-winded ramblings of a woman who had no real plan going in to write this post, but came out feeling accomplished, surprised, and peaceful.
What is this day ? It's an opportunity to remember our Sims who've been reaped by Grimm... and in doing so, it allows us, as we reach the year's end, to reflect, too, on ways that playing Sims adds depth and meaning to our lives and to thank all those , digital and physical , for what they have given us.

The commemoration lasts all weekend , so it's not too late to join in!
So glad that @AdamsEve1231 and @Karilan inspired me to make a Purple Day post! I love to remember how writing about and reading about our Sims generates love, compassion, and kindness within us!
Hi @Karilan@CathyTea@AdamsEve1231 just read your purple day posts. They were very thoughtful and moving and have made me want to read more about your sims that have passed.

Hi all, I've been thinking about purple week and thought what better way to celebrate than your favourite legacy/simlit sim getting a drawing done? I'm volunteering to draw anyone's sims who have died. I've just started an art blog, where I will be building up a collection of original drawings of my sims and others (with permission) from various simlits and legacies.

What a beautiful idea, @simscognito. Is there a screenshot you'd like me if you decide to draw a Sim for me?
Hi @AdamsEve1231 I'd be happy to draw a sim for you. I don't necessarily need particular screenshots, all I need is the name of the sim you would like me to draw and which legacy or simlit they come from. If you do, however, have a favourite screenshot, by all means, send it to me.

And I remember everyone I killed off in the last year. Maybe I'll get more poetic about it later.

Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
I just read all your posts--maybe I need to reread Senna's so I can laugh about it again.
Seriously got hit in the emotions, folks. (And it's kinda fun! )
Edit: Just changing the emoticon to something a little less irreverent! LOL!

I was thinking that about Silver and Max Racket, @InfraGreen. Haha.
But maybe Marigold... or even Lucy Ferne, Max's number two.
