    gonna try and write tommorrow. work keeps treating my hours like a yo yo up and down. makes it harder to have a energy level. we also got to new managers. met them both today, the guy was nice the girl manager who i met this morning was nice then got annoyed when she realized i was supposed to work yesterday too. i guess we were swamped. then got nice again later. lately instead of her friends driving me mom just asks me to get the day off. so it was pre arranged before today.

    Here's a little secret of mine -- I don't actually plan my stories like most rational people do. I just take the screenshots and write what I think's happening in the scenes. Then I get a vague idea of what's happening. I write a lot of text-only stories as well as picture stories, and I try to make them match up as best as I possibly can. Does anyone else do this, or is it just quirky lil me?

    *looks nervously at reams and reams of text and pages and pages of screenshots, only some of which match* :joy:

    That's how I do it too. Definitely no plot for me, just an ongoing log of the daily life... I think it's fun and unpredictable to do it this way, and I don't have to waste time setting up specific scenes and shots!

    More common than you think. I actually feel like it's the most common format for people documenting legacies or challenges of any kind, especially with a sandbox game that has some kind of AI for its characters and has always been built off that. But it's easy to feel like "the only one" doing anything. Community loneliness is real. :pensive:

    i tried to plan once . but aparently the benders don't like rules. ayden my generation 2 heir somehow managed to break them all in 10 sim days. sometimes i miss what happens. ayden comes from a big family and is a triplet. but one of his twin brothers needed a new house once so i got one from the gallery put it down put him and his wife in the house and took a tiny break . by the time i got back 2 became 3 cause they found the sauna i hadn't seen yet.

    Hi everyone! I haven't posted updates to Rainbow Sundae in here in a while. As usual. I just wrapped up a big storyline, so if you're interested, click the link in my bio to see more.

    So much Drama for the usually chill Dorian Grofield.

    I'll post up links here later! <3

    @Pinmat135, @SimTresa, @friendsfan367, @MadameLee, @divanthesimmer
    Thank you for the birthday wishes. :)

    It's okay that @CathyTea hasn't be around. I, of all people, know how busy life can get. I know she tries her best, so I think we can cut her some slack and wish her well. <3

    @friendsfan367 'a and e' is fun. :smiley:
