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!

@lisabee2 Yup, a new story. The Ambrosia Challenge wouldn't leave me alone until I finally decided to try it. Thanks for following!

Hello!
I am bad at introducing myself. That's because I am insecure, and I don't know why, but I'll try to say something
My real name is Nina. Umi is kind of my alter-ego surname, picked from my simself founder of my first and only (failed) Sims 3 Legacy. It means "sea" in Japanese.
I am 24, irregular high-school student, who does currently an online freelancing here-and-there. I live with my mother and a younger brother. I played Sims 1 since it was released, up until Sims 2 came out. I was so creative, full of imagination then, when it comes to playing Sims 1. Then, when I got to play Sims 2, I was obsessed with creating sims, and forgot about building. Then I started playing just one family, with adding family members to their household. If I had online access back then, I would totally play Legacy Challenge. Sims 3, well, I didn't have online access when I played it too, until now. Now I have just Starter Pack, which I got recently (base game, Late Night, and High-End Loft Stuff). Pretty limiting. I played TS4 trial, and now I am going to buy the full game in a few days). I got all the games I previously had by someone else, and now I don't have access to any of them (I don't want to tell why).
I could write more about myself, but it takes me awhile to open up to world.
These days I've been playing a challenge called "Officially" Wacky Boolprop Challenge, for Sims 3.
I have some issues in my head right now, and I feel like I'm forcing myself every time to start a game, because I can't calm down my racing thoughts. I have troubles concentrating on the game. I want to finish the challenge and its story on the blog, but I'm constantly anticipating getting Sims 4. I am excited because of it, perhaps too much. I need to allow myself to fully enjoy my Sims 3 challenge. It's 4 generations long, on normal lifespan, so it's not that long. I also have trouble in being consistent playing the challenges and writing stories to the end. But, I must finish this one.
The title of the story is Wacky Lyles
This is the page with links to the chapters, with the information about the challenge:

@ninaumi hello there! Welcome to the forums, and I'm glad you found this thread. If you need any help with the forums, sims 3, or (hopefully soon) sims 4, feel free to check out my site full of guides (link in my signature). Hope to see you around here more often!
@emorrill Thank you so much. And, hey, I used to watch Quantum Leap when it was on. I'm going to check out your story.
@RosemaryMariee oh yay! Glad to hear. It's seriously one of my all time favorite TV shows and I'm a super fan! Am even reading the books!
The story starts out a little slow but gets better. I need to check out yours and so many others on here. Thank you.
@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!
@mastressalita Thank you. I will have to go and do that.
You'd love Quantum Leap then! You can watch episodes for free at NBC.com.
Your story sounds awesome! Happy Caturday to you too.

@emorrill Thank you again! I didn't know there were books, too! How cool is that? I really like your story and I love how you even made your sim look like Scott Bakula! Did you watch Sliders, too? It was a 90s show, but I liked that one as well.

Thank you @RosemaryMariee
Yes, I did indeed make him look like Scott because he's a hottie! I'm surprised he turned out so well because I am HORRIBLE at creating sims based on real people!
I'm sure you've noticed it, but there are some screenshots where Sam's face expression matches Scott's to a T!!! It blows my mind!
I did upload him to the Exchange so if you are interested you can download him here.
I haven't heard of Sliders. What's it all about?
Oooo! Your stories are based on journal entries? I love those! Will have to read a few while daughter is in school. Your sims are stunning! And your pictures are full of bright colors.
Hiiiii! It took some time, but I got the next chapter to The Chrysanthemum Tango done! Finally! Also it's a super ill-timed Spooky Day-themed chapter because who cares about timing. Anyway, I hope you enjoy:
Chapter 32: Spooky Day Fragments It's Spooky Day, a time of spirits, jack-o-lanterns, trick-or-treating, and remembering-how-we've-got-to-this-point. And possibly also a time for frightening encounters.
Have a lovely time, everyone!

Hey all. I just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive, well in a manner of speaking anyway. They recently changed my hours at work as part of a trial period to see how I'd do in a higher level role. It's been interesting but it's also been a return to the old '9-5' routine, which has had it's share of bumps.
To top it off, I've come down with the flu, thanks to my oh-so-thoughtful co-workers who decided to come into work sick. Friday, I woke up feeling a tad off, and as the day went on, I started feeling worse and worse. I'll spare you the gruesome details, but let's just say it hasn't been pretty. I'm hoping to be well enough to go back to work before I use up all my PTO, but I definitely couldn't work feeling the way I do now.
Anyway, I've been keeping watch over everyone here. It's nice to see faces old and new. Hope everyone is doing well.
Hello everyone! My name is Melissa Lungu (Mel for short...I know...imaginative right? ) I am a 37 year old, happily married mother of 3 lovely little boys: Elijah is 5, Joseph is 3 and Daniel is 9 months old in 3 days time. We have been married for 7 years and also have a ginger cat named Theo. I make cakes for a living (see pics here: facebook.com/melsfabbycakes )
I just started my first legacy ever (using TS4) and saw this post...so thought I'd jump on the bandwagon
Soooo I've been playing The Sims since the beginning (2000) and when TS2 came out, I owned them all. When TS3 began, I got married and began having real life babies, so no longer could afford to buy every EP and SP (or play very often) so I have everything but ITF and Supernatural and no SPs except Town Life because I got it during a sale. Now I own TS4 and GTW and Dine Out...and am toying with the idea of buying CL because of the extra careers that are available (namely Food Critic really...and that's only because it goes so well with the restaurant features of the games I already own)
During TS2 I began playing a Sim called Kate Harris, who I loved deeply. She married George McCarthy (remember him? The teen NPC shop assistant?) had 2 children, Jessica and Robbie.
And then I got TS3. I recreated the family, I then developed her back story and included her horrid mother, Freya, (chubby redhead who wears too much make up and animal print, always having affairs and being generally evil), nerdy dad, Seb, and 2 nature-loving grandparents Arthur and Rosemary. Due to bugs and a complete lack of time to play, Kate has never got past teenager in any incarnation of my game, so I'm really looking forward to starting this legacy in TS4.
Succession Laws: Equality Gender, Traditional Bloodline, Heir Law based on Strength (so I can make Kate my heir if she isn't naturally)
It'll be interesting to see if Kate comes out as I want her to...or if she even comes at all! The rolls I got determined that I would choose Freya to be my founder...so here she is:
Except the picture isn't displaying and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I've tried using both TinyPic and PhotoBucket but neither will display the screenshot I've uploaded...
If you have spare points as you own the store, why not spend them on me? Haha!!! My wishlist

Welcome to the thread as well! Glad you made it here. Sounds like an interesting legacy, if I do say so myself! I am actually starting another legacy of my own -- an I'm A Lover challenge-based legacy in the sims 4 now that I have TS4. Lol. It'll be my first actual playthrough of sims 4 for real, and I'm quite excited thanks to the founder that I've already created. I accidentally made her perfect for the challenge before I even knew the challenge existed. XD I still have a LOT of things to plan out before I actually start the story, such as how I'm going to write the story. XD I'm considering a diary-type story, but... I'm still not sure. Hehe.
Anyways, enough of my rambling. XD Good luck on your legacy!
@ninaumi ! WELCOME
Don't be shy there are a lot of friendly, cheerful people here.
Ermm because I am plummy lost I am doing a small resume of what I finally update to my wordpress. There is not too much and next time I will only post my new posts only.
Miss V Detective regular stories returned and this is the 4 first part
@SilentWolf101 I love functional cc that we don't have a lot of variety in the game no matter the game you play it doesn't matter. I love functional robots for kitchen (coffee maker, tea maker, etc), small appliances, big appliances, computers, radios , even toys for children etc. Believe me these little things change a piece for the best.
Everything we have less variety is the best to have.

Hehe, as do I. I feel like there's not a whole lot of variety in clothes and hair, so those are what I usually go for first. Then, I go for other stuff that I find looks nice.
@emorrill Thank you again! I didn't know there were books, too! How cool is that? I really like your story and I love how you even made your sim look like Scott Bakula! Did you watch Sliders, too? It was a 90s show, but I liked that one as well.

@emorrill Sorry for the late reply! Thank you so much for your kind words. I really do love how you've gotten Scott Bakula so right in your story! It's amazing! Sliders was a show in the 90s and it starred Jerry O'Connell and John Rhys Davies. The basic premise was that they slid to parallel universes, trying to find their way back to the one they belong to. It was pretty cool. I think Quantum Leap was better, but Sliders was good.

Hello! Are you ready to begin reading Blue's story? Chapter 3.1 is now available. If you're a new reader, don't feel obligated to start from the beginning with 1.1. In the menu at the top of my site, you can read recaps of what's happened in Gen 1 and 2.
Blue has run away from home and begins to realize what a huge mistake she's made. But will her pride allow her to go home?
As always, thank you for reading. I hope you all have a terrific day!
