    Finally, FINALLY posted the next chapter of my story. :) It's been so long, and I hope you didn't forget about them! I've got some big plans for generation two, and am extremely excited to start the next generation (even though generation 1 has only just begun). XD
    1.01: Mistakes
    I didn't even stand a chance.

    Anyways, how is everybody doing today?

    Hey guys! I've finally managed to do my final edits to this: the next chapter to Forget-Me-Not! Just a note, though, that I don't have access to TS4 when I'm in my university town, where I'm spending quite a lot of time now, so updates might slow down again pretty soon. I do have an buffer of about four chapters, or at least material for them, so I'll try to get the updates out in reasonable pace. Also I'll be focusing on my TS3-stories again. Well, I have actually been working on both of them already, so I'll try to get new chapters out soon.
    Anyway, here we go:

    Chapter 1: Waking Up

    I hope you enjoy and have a lovely day/night/whatever time it is there.

    Here is my short story for the Monthly Simlits Short Story Challenges thread! It is a side story to my series The Cat Chronicles, but it is not necessary to be familiar with that series to read the short story. Likewise, readers of The Cat Chronicles can skip over the short story if they wish.

    Senna's Story - Senna from The Cat Chronicles starts over after the death of her father with the adoption of a very unique-looking kitten. Written for the January 2017 Monthly Simlits Short Story Challenges theme "Anew."

    @InfraGreen : I've been trying to get Cat Chronicles back on a schedule after pretty much torturing my readers and giving them hardly any updates for a long time... pretty much the entirity of last year I was only able to get one update a month out on my site, and that one update was always the short story for SSC, so Cat Chronicles hardly ever got updated. This is sort of my way of trying to make up for that. ^_~ At least if the theme fits an idea I have for it. Once the schedule gets worked out (and it is getting better) then there will probably start being non-Cat Chronicles short stories again.

    Hi, everyone! I know I've been MIA here, but there hasn't been much to share. lol

    I do have a quick question. In my Ramsey story, I may eventually need a wall or two of servers (the heart of a computer network, if you're not sure). They look like the below in RL.

    09-14redridgeservers-lg-computer-servers.jpg

    Rack001.jpg

    If you know of any places that have this CC, could you please let me know? Just @lovesstorms.

    OR

    Something similar to a control center or operations would work, too. The below is kind of a silly cartoon thing, but I want to show something fairly large.

    c398181a84ebb1f60c6bca5a0e065be2.jpg

    Or something similar to Apollo 13 the movie's operation center...

    Mission_Operations_Control_Room_during_Apollo_13.jpg

    I have looked, but so far I've only found servers for S2 and S4. I could just use a bunch of computers, but they usually have monitors attached. I did find a stand-alone computer (no monitor) from Around the Sims. If I have to use a few of those, I can. However, I'd rather just have several walls of servers to portray a large computer operation.

    I could build my own operation center, but if someone knows of one already, I'd rather go that route.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! <3

    @lovesstorms :

    Well, the best I could find for a TS3 server rack is this:

    sims3updates_obj_2630_1_M.jpg

    It was stuck on a Russian forum but I do have the item now, I can reupload it to my own server for you if you want it so you don't have to go to the hassle of signing up.

    Maybe some of the big switchboards from the Recording Studio from ATS could work for a control station as well?

    Repost from the Writer's Lounge, just in case some don't go there.

    For those who use Mods in S4:

    I use MC Command Center AND IU Cheats Extension. I use them together always and have never had any problems. I know you can cheat with MC Command Center, but I enjoy being able to easily click on the needs, money, etc.

    IU Cheats Extension's creator made an update. Now you can easily click and change the skills AND (my favorite) TIME. Yes, I just tested it. I can change time FORWARD only, but it worked. For those of us that do screenshots, we NO long have to wait for hours until the sun comes up again (or darkness to happen). Woot!

    Ooh! I like it a lot! I think that might work! Woot! Thank you so much! I might just use this and go in for a close-up shot. Or get some items from the Recording Studio. I did notice that. Heck, I might even get that computer tower only and stick a bunch of those on a metal-looking table.

    I went ahead and registered because I might look around to see what else they have. Me and my obsession with CC. lol

    Thanks for all of your help! :smiley:

    Hi you guys! Since I don't have much to do except wait for my train to leave at the moment, I figured I'd post this now: the next chapter to Forget-Me-Not!

    Chapter 3: Afterlife 101

    It's time for some answers, but the answers aren't nearly enough...

    I hope you guys have a lovely day!

    Hi, everyone! I haven't been on the forums for a little while. I was just feeling kind of overwhelmed with a lot of things in r/l, I guess. But it's good to be here again. I've really enjoyed reading the posts and seeing all of the great pics you guys have. Your stories and blogs are all very amazing. :)

    In the time I was gone, I wrapped up Generation 2 of my story and am slated to begin Generation 3 on Feb. 11.

    This morning I published a sneak peek for Generation 3! I hope you enjoy it :)


    Generation 3 Sneak Peak!

    It's going to be really exciting! I hope to see you there. :)

    @RosemaryMariee It's ok...we all totally understand and have been there. <3

    Writer's block can be a real pain in the bum as well! :confounded:


    I just posted an EPIC update in my Sam Beckett story. (Bumping it to page 2 finally! The first page was taking forever to load with all the pictures! :lol: )
    Click here

    If any of you know of a fellow simmer (or your friends and family) who are a Quantum Leap fan, send them on over to my story thread. :) I'm sure they would enjoy it.
    It's an older TV series (ran from 1989-1994) so I'm not expecting there's many of you that know about/remember it, but I hope you will go check out my story anyway and see what you think. :)

    Happy Simming and Storytelling! :mrgreen:

    @emorrill : That's the era when I was growing up, but I never did manage to catch it. I grew up on a lot of 80s/90s TV though. You are certainly welcome to come add all your stories to my story library thread, The Stories and Legacies Index, any and all Sim stories are welcome!


    Also... Happy Caturday!
