@Pinkslinky Happy happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!
@Munterbacon You're welcome. Which reminds me... I need to read more Ironbound.
@pronterus I totally missed the moon. It was way too early for me to want to get up this morning, but now that I'm seeing awesome pictures online, I kind-of wish I did get up.
@friendsfan367 Of course, Ayden is your fave. And we can see the love you pour into him in your writing, no matter how many iterations there are.
So how would you explain to somehow about how in the game itself your sims birth and raise children?
I'd probably just say that it's a game that simulates life. You could go into more detail, but I feel like most people would understand with that.
I did say the game simulated life but he still didn't get that we have our sims get pregnant and have children who go on to get pregnant and have their own children....
Well, that's a part of a lot of people's lives, so maybe saying that would help? What part confused him the most?

I could just say it's a "Circle of Life" game which I control (almost) the entire life cycle of my characters.

I feel like that's pretty much the same as saying 'life simulator', but if you think that it would help better get your point across, then go for it. Has the person you're trying to explain this to had any experience with video games? Could you show him pictures to help illustrate your point?

theresadded just details the details themselves are the same. maybe its a good thing jes cursed me i get new ideas.
Happy timezones everyone! I have a day off today, so decided to pop in to say hello.
I like your question, @IchigoUsagi! It's a hard one to answer though. The most interesting would be Alondra from my Project L.E.G.A.C.Y. series (her point of view is really different and unique), but the easiest to write for is Aster from my Build Newcrest story. He's just a sweetheart all round, and a very encouraging guy.
I like Alondra, too! In fact, I really love your legacy!
you still didn't say which of YOUR characters is your favorite or whatever the question was.
thank you piggy i got sis back for laughing at me.lol. and i still don't know who sage is.
Ah. Well. Hmmm....
I really love to write from Septemus Sevens' perspective. I think, oddly enough, that his perspective is closest aligned to my current perspective. Mallory's perspective is probably closest to my perspective when I was in my early through late 20s, and Sept's (though he's quite young) is actually very closely aligned to my present perspective.
It's also super fun to write from Freezer Bunny Wolff Tea (aka Free-Jon aka Free aka Jon-Jon).
And now he has a little sister, so it will be fun to write from her perspective! I've got a feeling she's a smart one!
@CathyTea those characters sound interesting. So some of your characters sort of echo elements of yourself through different stages of your life? That's an excellent way to write characters as it possibly allows you to connect with your characters on a deeper level.
patient demanding same thing. i she started it when i asked who sage was now its a day later andi still don't know who sage is. lol. besides i try and leave her alone when i know shes busy but my picking on her was her idea.
I'm not sure how to explain sims better than its a life simulator where you can control the lives of a person through marriage, childbirth, the building and decorating of their homes, what they wear and eat, how they entertain themselves. Than following their children through the same thing for as many generations as you want.
I had an idea for something to do with WAWRMO. I know there's a thread for this but I don't know if it's still active or not. (It's been a while since someone posted in there...) I wanted to know if anyone was interested in their sim being a pen pal for one of my characters. I promise that I will read your story if I'm not already. Here's my page on it.
Also posting it on my simblr (tumblr) in case that helps with success.
Hey everyone! I thought I'd start the [insert time of day you're currently experiencing here] off with a question. Which of your sims is your favorite to write? (Whether from their point of view, or just in dialogue.)
For the Keen Legacy, definitely Rose (and no contest up to this point). I love writing for people who say one thing and mean another (liars, I guess?) With Rose, it cracks me up that she works so hard to put on this facade of pleasantness while masking her emotions so that nobody will know how she really feels. It's the same reason I love writing for Aunt Nancy in We Belong to the Song, because she's a similar case - says one thing and means another (though she's a bit more malevolent than Rose is...)
The other thing I like writing are people who think they're smarter than they are (read: Wendy).
@superkyle221
Rose's chapter is definitely the most fun character I've read in the Keens.
I love the double diary stuff, every time she talks in your story I always wonder what she thinks on the other side of her. Definitely, a really interesting character didn't really want generation 2 to end.
Thanks! Unfortunately the second generation is nearly over!
Luckily Rose hasn't moved out, so she's staying in the main house... because that's how much I like writing her. So there will still be some more of her double diary entries. (Funny enough, those started as a joke, but ended up becoming the main thing I base her character off of.
Sorry I am, of late, the non-writing lurker who won't go away as I usually do, but I honestly have to ask, what's all this about a "pen pal" thread? I can garner a bit from context of recent posts but want to know if it's a real thread or a story vehicle amongst friends.
Sorry this may have been a silly question but as one near and dear to me oft says, my head is solid wood.

cathtea started a pen pal thread where sims pair off and write letters back and forth.

He has seen pictures from my game that showcase parts of my story..

Sure. Yours qualify.
You pick. There's too many to choose from.
Okay.
@elifdapeton
Thanks! Unfortunately the second generation is nearly over!
you 2 could write in the pen pal thread.
i'm not paying attention to whose story its for but the letters make you both eligble..and it could keep bugsie out oftrouble.
Nothing can keep me out of trouble.
i know but you could be pen pals in the thread which might not make sunday so far away for you.
Sorry this may have been a silly question but as one near and dear to me oft says, my head is solid wood.
Nah.
