    Random questions. Who makes family trees for their stories. And how to get more than one family on the same tree on some website? I mean its kind of to late for me now cause i spent all day doing it out by hand in clip studio paint. xD but i'm curious if anyone knows. I tried to use the awesome family tree website for sims. But i couldn't figure out how to get two branches.

    yeah we didn't scare you away. when i invited you i forgot to mention we tease a lot.

    i don't do family trees but others do.

    Nah @friendsfan367 's just mean to all of us. :D Okay, I'll be good. o:)

    hey i met her a full night before you she already knows i'm nice.

    Darn. I thought I'd fool her. :D

    @LegacySims2017 That's a very tidy looking tree. :)

    @superkyle221 Perrault's Cinderella was the one with the midnight curfew so to speak, the glass slipper, and the fairy godmother (Perrault was writing for the court of King Louis XIV (France) which means that his Cinderella story was more of a riches-to-rags-to-riches stories then the other Cinderella story rags-to-riches) The midnight curfew does make a little sense-back in those days parties could go on to 4 in the morning-something like the forerunner of Teen parties (or college parties) so that Cinderella leaving earlier meant something mysterious.


    I have seen on video the Into The Woods play-had to do for drama class


    The policatally correct doesn't one of them involve Cinderella being a
    seamstress or something

    @superkyle221

    I've seen the Meryl Streep version, I'll have to look into the other one! Freeway sounds interesting...very Little Red Riding Hood!

    Lately I've been binging the TV series Once Upon A Time, which is extremely campy but I love how the show twists so many fairy tales together.

    @Karilan the Peters one is just the stage play being filmed live (and not really well so it's really different from the Disney's Streep version)

    @simscognito oh a ghost founder to get all of them on one... Why didn't I think of that *facepalm*
    Eh this will probably work out somehow.
    @friendsfan367 yeah i didn't run away. xD i've been enjoying myself in here. I just was rather offline today. My head is hurting really bad today.
    @karilan plumbtree is great. I just couldn't figure out a way to get more than one tree on it. xD

    I use Family Echo for my Family Tree. And then edited the tree part onto a background image I found.

    @LegacySims2017 I have been looking for a site that makes family trees easier to build, but could not find it in my bookmarks. Glad I saw your post. Thanks for sharing it!

    Cheers!

    Aww that's really plum @Shadami . You so deserve a good day this week. :( I'll call planet earth to book you one. Hopefully Earth will pick up. :blush: All the best for you and the eldest. Being sick is never fun.

    Oh gosh, maybe? I remember that in that version of Snow White
    Snow White and the queen kicked the dwarves off the land and opened up a spa reaffirming a womyn's beauty - and in Rapunzel she ran off and became a folk singer ahahahaha
    .

    I'll have to check the Perrault version.

    @Karilan The Bernadette Peters is a recording of the original stage production. I think it used to be on Netflix? I own a copy that I got when Borders was going out of business.

    I like Once Upon a Time... I'm super behind though, but I love what they did with Regina (and Cruella DeVille - she was hilarious).

    @superkyle221 the majority of Cinderella stories (with the exception of the Into the Woods story and Hillary Duff's A Cinderella Story or Selena Gomez's Another Cinderella story movies)- adaptions are based on Perrault's version the 1950 animated Disney movie and the 2015 live action remake, Rogers and Hammerstien's Cinderella (which Julie Andrews starred in the title role), Peters was in I believe the 2nd remake as the (black) Cinderella's step-mother, Shelly Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre episode, Drew Barymore's twisted version of it in "Ever After".

    That would be awesome! Imagine the toddlers and kids forcing their pets to play dress up with them. :D I used to put tutus on my cat all the time when I was really young. He was a good sport.

    We would put crowns on our cat. She would give us a dirty look every time. Was hilarious.

    I would put this on Dulcie in my game

    I believe it, but I'm a lot more familiar with the German version (which makes sense, because I grew up in Germany), so I guess I always saw the tree giving gifts as the normal version. I didn't realize Perrault had added the fairy godmother!

    So, @simscognito 's earlier comment got me thinking; Do you have any songs you consider to be your characters' theme songs? Any albums you listen to to get yourself pumped up to write your SimLit?

    Lately I've been listening to Paramore's album After Laughter and both of Nothing But Thieves' albums to get myself inspired. I think that Fake Happy by Paramore fits with Acacia really well (for reasons that aren't obvious as of now), and Idle Worship reminds me of a character I've created but haven't introduced yet. I was Just a Kid by Nothing But Thieves is what I'd consider TIOL's unofficial theme song, Hostage fits
    Sullivan and Marshall
    nicely, and Graveyard Whistling is a song that just gets me excited to write!

    Again, another awesome question @IchigoUsagi , but I can't answer it because I've already answered it before on this thread and I don't want to bore anyone who's seen it. :(

    On a lighter note, these sound like really fitting songs for your characters. Now I'm super eager to be introduced to this new mysterious one. :)
