@MadameLee good luck with this! I’m currently on Gen 3 of 7 of my Moonchild reboot which is I think about 40 posts in, it’s a lot of fun but I’d advise lots of snacks
and i'm doing it *while* writing a blog post about a topic close to my heart about disabilities+life-sim genre
@CathyTea to answer your question from my Blogpost you read today and commented on - I don't know what to think about the Life By You because I'm kind of worried about the repeitve of some careers we can follow our "humans" to work in. Because people got tired pretty quicky of all 3 careers (before they became buggy)-in Sims 4: Go to Work. But on the other hand I could potentially create some stories I can't create really in Sims 4.
If it wasn't for the fact I didn't want to get into too much either disability jargon (outside of the one mention of "Curb-cut" effect) or into literature tropes-I would have mentioned "medical vs. social model of disabilty" or mention the other catergory of disabled characters who aren't temporary disabled.
I might write new blog posts about medical vs. social models of disability and also of Disabled characters tropes.
Been a crazy week, and I keep stopping to build instead of play, but I finally got another chapter of Box of Chocolates finished and up. 2.46 The Meaning of Family.
A good way to describe my real life at the moment is "everything, everywhere all at once". However, I have managed to squeeze out a chapter of Sim 66 amidst all the chaos. Joanna gets to grips with student life...both academically and socially in chapter 192: College Girl.
thats not sims thats life. sorry friend . lol that describes my life rght now. everything everwhere all at once this last week i had 2 therapy sessionsions back to back.
Aurora finally opens her letter from Gunther which explains much more than she anticipated. Her children’s fates are outlined beyond her expectations and the future of Sunset Valley is placed firmly in their hands.
This is definitely the chapter that I worked the hardest on and am most proud of. From flashbacks of Victor, Samuel and Gretle Goth to present day revelations about the future of the Evergreen legacy, this one paves the way for the end of Gen 1 and start of Gen 2 🌲
Wyrd Girls from @luciusstorm is another favorite. He does a wonderful occult based story, with some familiar faces. Like Fier Legacy they aren’t novel length but they are fantastic fun.
Late response, but thank you @DaniRose2143 for the call out. FYI, the latest chapters of Wyrd Girls aren't available on the forums, since they deal with more mature topics and language. So, out of an abundance of caution and respect for the forum rules, I don't post links for reasons DaniRose mentions. If anyone is interested, feel free to reach out via DM and I'll point you in the right direction.
Fate is a riddle and we choose our own answer.Wyrd Girls
Aurora addresses the fallout of Gunther's revelations and realises that she can no longer continue without making a plan for the future. From confronting her mother's deception to realising baby number three is on the way, Aurora draws a line under her past and names her heir.
Generation one comes to an end in two parts. First, Aurora welcomes her third child into the world, Blair starts high school and an old friend calls in a favour.
Advice- for this "Remember Me" song chapter should I ljust end up on the bad note letter picture, or should I include some pictures of HAM reading the same letter and being there for Jane?
In the final installment of the first generation of the Evergreen Legacy, Aurora sees her children blossom and her husband reach his golden years. Is Blair ready to take on the role as caretaker of the Valley?
A small announcement on my blog (I won't risk the mods' wrath by posting a link or title of the work.)
Hello everyone :-)
I’d like to apologize for the silence- I took a break from Sims/blogging in general and lost myself in other games.
After a lot of reminiscing and thinking, I have decided to re-post my old story, (redacted.) The first five chapters are uploaded. This is not in any way a reboot, rework/remaster, or continuation of the story. It is simply a re-posting.
On April 2 (US Eastern,) I will upload another 1-2 chapters and then a chapter every three days afterward.
Also a small question for WordPress bloggers: I'm looking for a free blog theme similar to the retired P2 theme. Any suggestions, please and thank you :-)
Only my 2nd post of the month but a big reason why is that it's a long chapter. Travis builds up the courage to pop the question to Summer, Summer is worried about whether Travis is going off her and a surprise visit by some distant relatives throws further chaos into the mix. Chapter 193: Pop The Question[/b
If I was to make a new Swanson Thread (the old one the last update was 2019) and transfer the 113 banners I have already + the new one, I just finished.. what are some dicussions points I could potentially put on the thread?
Its going to take me several days to transver 114 posts to a new Swanson Legacy thread. But here's some dicussion points for the 113 posts prior to Remember Me
Discussion questions What's the saddest part of the story for you? Which of the love interest is your favourite love interest? Did you notice a little trick i do in regards to love interest?
I'm making a new animated banner but I just need two more banners (Gen 6 and Gen 7) but I don't know what pictures to use? I have some ideas for Gen 7 but I need ideas for Gen 6?

Aurora battles with her emotions as it becomes clear she can no longer avoid Gunther's last words.
