    @AuroraLockwood Aww Natalie is adorable. She looks a bit unsure there. I wander what her mum's telling her. :D

    @simscognito Probably trying to answer the question of "why does mom keep calling me the mistress" :tongue:

    Question: what is the cutest screenshot you have?

    I think this one is pretty cute. It's Gage Briody flirting with Anita Errare (formerly Lobos).
    screenshot-45.jpg?w=474&h=356

    I love the way they're looking at each other.

    I also love this picture of Howard dancing with his daughter, Andi.

    Special Request:

    I'm planning ahead for my #BuildNewcrest Challenge: Simself Legacy Edition (http://legacysims.net/?page_id=835). Generation 2 heir (Jubilee) must complete the "Big Happy Family" aspiration. I'm getting close to where one of her children will need to get married. So I am outright spoiling it for @everyone that Noelle will be getting married first of the two (and if there are more children on the way) when she grows up. I'm having a fun time hooking the Simself family up with other sim selfies I added to the game (Joseph + @Cbear13 ... Jubilee + @pronterus ... Hope + @Simslover163 ... Junior + (see spoiler below)! Therefore, I need...actually I want...a sim selfie for Noelle.

    Are there any male members of this community who have a sim selfie that would like to partner up with Noelle (tag your guy friends on here everyone else)? First come, first serve to who responds. If I don't get any takers, I'll use another SimGuru I have in stock of all my sim selfies I've collected.

    Thanks!


    Open spoiler to find out which sim selfie from this community Junior is about to hook up with:
    @MadameLee volunteered her sim selfie to partner up with Joseph Simself Jr. Thanks @MadameLee !

    Just remembered that there's a lot of chores when it comes to writing. Signature, Episode/Chapter Graphic, promotional, new story threads. Forgot that it wasn't just to play, write, put screenshots, and post. Hehe.
    I also write non sims stuff on Wattpad

    Tomorrow I will finish up shooting my scenes-I couldn't do any of that today since I am collecting 24hr pee. I will have to go check on some disucssions to prepare 2 of my drama scenes since I was having difficult finding the last 2.

    @simscognito did you see my teaser picture from last night?https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/16259319/#Comment_16259319

    @MadameLee no I didn't I'll have a look in a bit. Thanks for letting me know. :)

    this is a tease for an upcoming chapter (I feel like I'm Matt procrastinating and making a character page) and he has done both *cough*hot potato Twlight review *cough* and a character page-I have an inkling that Matt's going to upload a video soon because of a tease on his tumblir

    Oh wow this is cool! I love the athmosphere of this. This kind of reminds me of a classical painting or a pre-raphaelite painting, I don't know why, I think it's the stances of the characters. :D Poor person who's tied up though. I kind of forget they're there because of the red costumes of the standing up characters. But I really like that, because as soon as you notice the tied up person, the mood dramatically changes.

    Hey, I do that too @Bugsie2016 Or I just flick through my chapters and get totally awed by the fact that I made a website! :D

    Question: Do you ever just read your own chapter without looking to edit or proof-read it?

    Yes! Often when someone makes a really insightful comment on an old chapter, I go and read it. Depending on how long it's been, occasionally I don't recognize my own writing or what mood I was in when I wrote it.

    OK, off to go reread BL gen 1. (S/N: it's like 10 very badly written chapters long. It won't take that long.)

    Edit: I gave in after a few lines. Too much bad writing for one day. :lol: (Yes, it's my running joke that gen 1 is terrible!)

    @Karilan oh that's cool. I love insightful comments. They can be fun to read, and often give you a new perspective on what you're writing.
    I don't know if I've said this already, but happy birthday @Rainydayz179 ! XD

    I think you have more readers now than ever, so you never know! Stories don't begin with tons of readers. No one read my legacy story for like the first two months, and even after I only had a handful of readers. These things build over time.

    @simscognito It's the 4th longest running joke I have. I make the joke you can just skip gen 1, you're not missing anything. :lol:
    The 1st longest running joke being a 10 year long joke with granddad. The 2nd & 3rd being terrible inside jokes I have with my dad. (S/N: I sometimes refer to him as my step-dad and sometimes my dad. Today I feel like calling him my dad.)
