    Due to the fact I'm discontinuing this story I will give you some tips here to help:

    Find the pictures taken here:
    My Documents- Electronic Arts- The Sims 3- Screenshots

    A website to edit them on(it's all self explanatory and free)
    http://www.picnik.com/app#/home/welcome

    When saving pictures always save them as JPG/JPEG files in the screenshots folder you found them in.

    To change your signature:
    My Preferences- there will be a box for typing signature code.

    To make a click able picture (use square brackets[] apposed to the round() to work)-
    (url=webpage you wish to link to)(img)copy image url and paste here(/img)(/url)

    Website for making banners and signatures-
    http://www.mybannermaker.com/

    To make a forum page, go to forums- click stories and legacy- new post.

      This will be helpful. But when you say 'lost', do you mean that they are physically lost or lost because of, like, traumatizing events?

      Thanks everyone! :mrgreen: Chapter two should be out shorty. It will focus on getting and editing pics!

      dnani- It could be either, it's open to interpretation. Being lost physically might make for a good action or romance perhaps. On the other hand, being lost in ones mind might prove a more serious drama.

      wawawa7- Nice Legacy :wink: .

      I love it! Great idea!! I created a thread for people who felt like their stories were being neglected way back when everything on the story boards were jessjess whatever and that other person. Good stories were lost in that rubble of madness! I'm glad to see someone else who wants to help writers!! Sorry to hear about the story maker problem. But it's good for me, as a writer, to read up on some tips on writing. Refine my skills and what not. Great job!!
