  • It freaked me out at first, because so much of the way my play style is designed was based on people's moods matching their careers: for example I'd give someone the Creative trait if I knew they were going to be a musician, I'd make sure all my households with kids had the right kind of bathtub to do a Citrus Soak before…
  • So... let me get this straight. In my experience the past week of playing in an attempt to relieve stress, being in Brindleton Bay for more than a week of game time means literally every pet in the neighborhood ends up with some unsightly disease, so you have to look at blue and red-glowing and vomiting animals everywhere…
  • Nope. :(
  • I know this is thread necromancy in the extreme, but this is the thread that pops up when you google "Sims 4 Gremlins trait," so I thought I'd pop in here to let people know how to control this trait if you just want the gremlins to come SOME nights (like when you have the next day free to do repairs and want a steady…
  • I haven't seen anyone else post about this, but my sims will no longer just sit and finish a plate of food. They always get up 2-3 times while eating to pet their cat/dog, and then remain standing to eat until I direct them to sit down again... at which point they get up again in a few minutes to pet their cat/dog again. I…
  • Just in case anyone's keeping track - OSSE will be taking a two-week break while I travel etc., and the next post will be up on July 28. <3
  • Whoopsie! Forgot to post that Day 32 is up. The Mzazi twins are finally all grown up! Will Alexander Goth propose? Etc. etc. https://simsiren3.wordpress.com/2015/06/30/day-32-balance-of-power/
  • On Day 31, Ameko Morimoto discovers Sylvan Glade, and more! https://simsiren3.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/day-31/
  • For me, death has always been a huge event for my sims (if they witness it, or if I leave the tombstone on the lot). Anyone who is home when the sim dies gets +5 sad for 2 days if they were friends, +4 additional sad for 2 days if they were married. If they weren't close friends with the sim but witness the death they just…
  • Day 30 is up! You'll get to briefly meet Bridget Doherty, the newest member of the infamous crime family, among other things. https://simsiren3.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/day-30/
  • Just posting to confirm that it is not caused by bunnies, easter eggs, or GTW, as I have none of those things and can't get Geo Council items back either. Pretty sure, as in the link above, mine was caused by leaving the home lot before the items came and therefore "purging" the temporary inventory. What a horrible way to…
  • As far as Buhle is concerned, they've always been a couple. <3
  • SURPRISE! You don't have to wait until July for a new episode. It's up! And in honor of this shiny new beginning, the soap opera now has a shiny new thread. Let's move our discussions there from here on in. Thanks for reading! :)
  • I do still have all the screenshots, but they're poorly labeled (I only came up with a good way to label them starting in Week 5), and it would take hours upon hours to locate and replace them. I may do it one day when I'm bored or trying to get my mind off something, but that won't be any time soon. :) Sadly, Benjiro and…
  • All right, I'm going to be a grownup about this and make a decision. Here's what's happening. Episodes 1-21 will stay up in their mutilated form, but after that I'm going to skip the fourth week entirely and start with Day 29. Basically, the most important thing you missed in Week 4 was that all six of the competitor women…
  • Arrrrrrrrrrgh guys. I just went back and saw that more than half the endless images I hosted on tumblr and put into the wordpress site are gone. I guess tumblr dumped those links after a while or something? The story is pretty meaningless without the screenshots, and the thought of going back and doing 21 episodes' worth…
  • PS I just finished playing Day 42... *gasp* If you really really want some spoilers check out my gallery, as I just uploaded the families in their state as of the end of the 6th week. I always play way ahead of what I write, so I can put in lots of cool foreshadowing and whatnot. ;) Okay, NEXT post will be an ETA on more…
  • That is awesome. Thanks so much. For some reason all the searches for "Sims 4 Genetics" in the world never brought up anything that mentioned this!
  • Hello everyone! My apologies for how long it's taken me to get this going again. Full disclosure - I'm a novelist IRL, and I have a deadline that I'm wayyyy behind on. However I just wanted to check in to let you guys know that this project is still very much dear to my heart and I will be continuing it once the situation…
  • Okay, for those who have been reading this: Would you rather wait potentially months for the story to pick up again, or skip ahead somewhat in the timeline and get a new batch of regular updates starting in 2-3 weeks? There is kind of an issue with the record-keeping I did where a week or two of the story is just a…
  • Behold Day 21 (and this may answer your question partially, FloorRaisin) https://simsiren3.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/day-21-birthdays/ And I must apologize. Some fairly heavy Stuff has gone down around here so there will be a bit of a hiatus before Week 4 begins. Tumblr has already fallen behind. I was a bit blindsided. I…
  • Thanks for the comment! It's really cool to hear what people are hoping for in the future. The Landgraab-Doherty saga is going to enter a whole new era next episode, just you wait... ;)
  • Episode 20 is up! If you're enjoying the story, tell your friends! And let me know what you think! Your comments are what make it worthwhile :) https://simsiren3.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/day-20-momentous-developments/
  • Episode 19 is up. And probably my most appropriate title yet, in a couple of ways. ;) https://simsiren3.wordpress.com/2015/02/25/day-19-bombshells/ There's also a little theme song at the end for your enjoyment. You may be more familiar with the Simlish version.
  • LOL the bomb just dropped on tumblr - my readers are like "what the plum" One of them just IMed me. Literally IMed me
  • Often I go with the flow of what the game hands me. If a character I know strolls by a Sim's house, I'll often take that as "fate" and have someone pop out to greet them. Some of the things, like Eric Lewis's tendency to overstay his welcome, comes straight from NPC behavior. Sometimes I invent or pre-arrange things that…
  • So glad you're enjoying it! I love to hear from my readers. And although I've already played several weeks ahead of where the posts are, I do try to respond to feedback about what people like & don't like. There is just a bit of a delay in tailoring the stories to match, because in-game I'm almost a full generation ahead…
  • Wow! Someone came by and left seven comments on the Wordpress version of the story last night, but the link to their blog doesn't work, so I'm not sure who she is! If you're reading this, let me know where I can return the favor!
  • Thank you so much for this thread. A welcome breath of fresh air, and it gives me hope! Here's hoping others don't come in to rain on your parade too much. I wish I could articulate better what I like so much about TS4, but most of what I say is subjective and people could just say "NUH UH you're crazy!" and argue with me…
  • Day 17 is up!! Enjoy Zoe and Alanna's baby bumps :) https://simsiren3.wordpress.com/2015/02/13/day-17-somethings-cooking/ Edit to add: Apologies for those who have commented and whose comments have sat forever in the moderation queue. For some reason it's not emailing the comments to me, and the interface has changed so…
