New chapters...
First up with... Episode 3.21 Too Much Honesty

Lizzie and Karleen enjoy breakfast together with some fun townie appearances, featuring @CathyTea's Sugar Maple Bough, @TheYayToast's Marie Carter, + Lizzie and Karleen
...probably one of my favorite chapters as of late. I love them all, but this one especially challenged me and made me happy with a few characters. featuring @SoulGal7's Lewis Goldwin, @Bugsie2016's Bugsie Sims, @LegacySims2017's Joseph Simself, + Lizzie, her sister, Nora, one of her kids, Parker.
Ha-lo everyone! I have a long overdue LASL update for you today.
featuring @Bugsie2016's daughter, Mariposa, @LegacySims2017's Joseph and Dulcie, @InfraGreen's Carrie and Marshall, @TheYayToast's Eleanor, and @Skcaga6's Sharon, plus Lizzie, the Simself-Green triplets, and some townie appearances too!
I'm considering skipping ahead with LASL. I've been in Gen 1 forever. Haha. Sorry to those of you who haven't seen your Sims featured much. It's an ISBI, so it's difficult to encounter everyone naturally in story.
I lost a bunch of data recently. What's weird is my game save is still there but most of my screenshots are missing so I'm not sure I want to take the time to write everything out or recapture images.
I do have some so I'm trying to catch up and write what I've got.
I have a few spin-offs planned with certain characters, plus a prequel with Lizzie and Karleen.
Also, I'm thinking of only writing a few chapters for The Teen Years before voting commences. I'm ready to move along to the next generation. Maybe I'll try a different challenge in Gen 2 (something other than an ISBI or paired with it). Any thoughts appreciated.
Terrible to hear all of those screen shots are lost. Perhaps turning generation 2 into a legacy challenge or a 100 baby challenge might be a good idea.

That is awful. I hate when that happens. I couldn't imagine having to go retake all the shots.
I definitely could see the time skip making the story fun to work on again.
My suggestion could be based on @Onyeka001's re-imagined townie series. They are having each chapter have a poll to have the readers help guide the story. That way it could be a little more of the randomness with a little more structure than the ISBI.
Thank you @VanPelt81 and @TheYayToast. Yeah, it stinks. I'll keep your ideas in mind. I definitely want to make this into a legacy of sorts. I also like the poll idea.
New LASL chapter... and the final chapter for Lizzie's 'official' arc. Unfortunately, I lost a bunch of screenshots and game content for the story when I upgraded my computer. It is a bittersweet departure filled with celebration and heartache, but the LASL story isn't over yet. I have multiple spin-offs, and of course, the legacy planned. I'll have another post up about my plans soon and would love some input.
Due to the nature of the ISBI challenge, some of your Sims were featured more than others. I plan to do a full update before the start of Gen 2 for each of the Sims! I actually made a list of all careers, skills, aspirations, types of death, and life states (supernaturals) plus options for romance, children, living arrangements, money levels, and major life events/activities (it was epic long) and rolled at random for every character featured in Arc 1. Oh the combinations were fantastic and fun. Some were super fitting and others were surprising. I look forward to that reveal.
It's a bittersweet end to Generation 1, but it's time for Lizzie to retire. I'm looking forward to Generation 2.
On that subject... welcome to Gen 2... but before we get there...
... @InfraGreen's Carrie is getting her own spinoff!
You can read more over on my site...
...but wait, there's more!
Vote for the Gen 2 heir. I did make a shorter list of options for the triplets, and rolled at random for several things. I think the results are already pretty fitting for each of their personalities as developed in game. My favorite reveal was mixing and matching stuff packs/game packs/expansions and list of worlds to find out where they'd be living and what their story line would be. Enjoy!
...and seriously, vote for the heir! I'm having the hardest time deciding because I love all my precious Simselfie's kiddos, including Carrie.
... @everyone thanks for casting your votes. They are all in, including the real Karleen's, (haha, that should be a hashtag), and I'll be announcing soon who the official generation heir is. Each of the kids will be featured because you know me... can't resist telling everyone's story.
