Sul, sul folks! I haven't abandoned you. I promise.
Announcement
I have a related side story in the works. Real life Karleen and I have been working on an origin story or prequel for in-game Lizzie and Karleen. This story will take place during their high school years at boarding school. This will be a TS3 story. It's my plan to explore and expand upon all the different TS3 supernaturals and my different alien races in this story. Lizzie will gain all sorts of knowledge and ideas for her eventual writing career.
No pictures but here's what I have so far:
Working Title: After Dark at Everglow Academy Subtitle: Supernatural Encounters with Lizzie and Karleen Location: Moonlight Falls
Questions for my readers: Which supernaturals do you want to see featured? Are there any specific encounters you think Lizzie and Karleen should have?
For those of you who still play TS3, if you'd like to submit characters, let me know. I will be accepting high school students and teachers.
Canon will stand as is, and the timeline will be preserved (i.e. Lizzie will still marry @LegacySims2017's Joseph Simself, and Karleen will end up marrying @Munterbacon's Munter Bacon, though they might date other people as their young selves.) This isn't an alternate universe. My TS4 and TS3 storylines coexist in the same world and timeline.
Young John Schooner will attend school with the girls. He's Liz's cousin if you recall.
I would prefer limited CC, and if you do have CC, let me know where to get it. I have all the expansions and stuff packs for TS3.
I think I've read that post 3 times and my brain is just refusing to process it. (I tried to sleep and couldn't it's windy and I'm petrified of high winds xD)
Supernatural, Sims 3 , you and Karleen. Sounds entertaining. You handle the supernatural stuff well.

I did post a variation in several places on the forums, @Shadami. Maybe you read in more than one place? Thanks.
I've got a new LASL chapter coming your way. I promise I haven't abandoned you. Here's an awesome sneak preview picture...
Uh oh... clean-up on aisle 4!
This upcoming chapter will deal with the topic of bullying. I wanted to bring it up here first because it's a difficult subject, but it flowed naturally in my story so I thought it was an important opportunity. What kinds of difficult or emotional subjects have you written? How do you feel it's helped you grow as a writer?
@AdamsEve1231 I’d be happy to open up my Sims 3 and create someone. Since it’s Supernatural themed, I can create someone practicing magic (create him as a witch). Do you want him as a teenager?

Hey y'all. After a month hiatus or so, I finally have an updated Livin' A Simmin' Life (LASL) chapter for you. I've got another one coming tomorrow. FYI, I've lost steam and motivation on this story, but not because I don't love the characters. I just play the game so fast and then it takes weeks/months to churn out chapters. It's an ISBI so I can't plan out my story and I'm a planner and plot-driven gamer primarily. I guess that's why they call it a challenge.
I've made a decision to shorten my chapters to pictures and commentary and a bit of dialogue. I want to craft inspiring content, but with my crazy work life, and trying to maintain a work-life pendulum, I need less lofty goals. More bite-sized chapters coming your way!
This little cutie conked out on the floor after a day of...
@Johnsomething Great question! An ISBI is I'm Surrounded By Idi*ts Challenge! I control only one Sim for the course of (ideally) 10 generations. I've been stuck in Gen 1 for awhile mostly because I've been having fun telling Gen 1's story with my Simself. Haha. However, I do have plans to move on soonish.
The original challenge rules are here by @Lynnwood. I'm sort-of fudging these because I like to pop around town and check in on my other Sims (and the families of Sims other gamers have submitted). Mostly I stick to not intervening and just following, and when I need to make a decision I roll a die at random for the results.
...and continuing with 6 degrees of separation... the next chapter in LASL... warning: sad things!
this chapter features submitted Sims @Bugsie2016's Bugsie (and we finally get to see her former partner), @LegacySims2017's Joseph (party crasher ), and @TheYayToast's Ash (for the first time in awhile with some big news!) Episode 3.13, Pt. 4
