I've recently started a challenge of listening to an artist's entire back catalogue; so far I've listened to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Spock's Beard, The Alan Parsons Project, The Moody Blues, Yes and now it's the turn of Mike Oldfield. So far I'm up to his 1987 album, Islands, and at this point all his albums have been…
I've been absent and not playing Sims 4 or writing at all recently because last month I tore some ligaments in one of my shoulders and have been managing the pain levels with mixed results, which affects the concentration when writing. Things are a bit better now so here's the latest chapter. August 23rd 1966 and Jamie…
So I've been working on the Sim 66 spin-off story: Cornelius. Set in the same world as Sim 66 but more focussed on the sci-fi and horror aspects. I've been so busy with it, I made the opening credits for what would have been the TV series. The story's going to be Simlit...I don't have the time to make it a video series.…
"Hey there, are what are you guys doing? I heard music playing" *gulp* "Yeah...we're in a band, I'm the lead singer" "And I play guitar" "We're called The Bluestones. If you want I can get you tickets for our next gig" "Did I mention I play guitar?" "That sounds neat, yeah, I'll come and see you play" "I'll keep a special…
Jamie walks Lulu Strang home after band practice. They seem to be getting on well but she is the most hated girl at Buckingham High (for reasons still yet unclear) and Jamie still pines for the elite girls like Colleen and Judy.
August 22nd, 1966. Yes, this is Julia Epstein feeling flirty for the very first time! She is trying to remain calm when the menfolk she knows are losing their cool, and appeal. Chapter 221, Temper, Temper. https://kelloggjkellogg.blogspot.com/2024/03/chapter-221-temper-temper.html
Julia gets relationship advice from Diego Lobo. Why the unflirty, strictly career focussed and prim Julia needs dating advice from Sim City's number 1 style guru is anyone's guess.
August 20th 1966. Joanna's now finished her first semester at Britechester University and it's time for some r'n'r but she's worried her shady past is going to get in the way of a relationship with Pace Tye. Chapter 220: Bury The Past https://kelloggjkellogg.blogspot.com/2024/03/chapter-220-bury-past.html
I've done a few milestone chapters in Sim 66 and there's always the come down after building up to something huge. This is what happened with me recently; now that I've bumped off a major character I want to shift away from that sub-plot for a little while and focus on someone else. The thing about big events is that…
Joanna pours out her fears for finding a steady boyfriend, given her past, to the barmaid at The Waterside Warble....but the barmaid has a sad story of her own: Her husband was killed in Vietnam and now she has to work extra shifts in order to look after herself and her daughter.
After... ...I've shifted the story to Joanna, former call girl now university student, who is now sporting a trendy new look and is getting to know a cool guy on campus called Pace.
Dorian and Joaquin look good matches for Melanie and for Madison I'm leaning towards Ronald but she could also lift Adonis' mood if they were together. I'm going with Dorian for Melanie and Ronald for Madison.
Others have mentioned threads that I would nominate so that leaves just my own. Sim 66 forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/978195/sim-66/p1 It's my Simlit story and an ongoing one so transporting it to the new forum would be good for people who are new to the story or who wish to look up previous chapters.
My only advice is do research. I've stuck to one decade in my historical game and that makes things easier when it comes to research but for those doing the decades challenge it's going to be more time consuming but, believe me, it'll be worth it. I like what @JAL has done with the decades challenge in changing the rules…
Hollywood in the 20s had lots of scandal and shenanigans going on...as long as no one died (see the Fatty Arbuckle and Thomas Ince cases as examples) there were plenty of "open secrets" in the showbiz community that remained secrets. As long as Anna and Cora don't fall foul of William Randolph Hearst and his two gossip…
