Wh...Thanks, Colleen, I don't the mind the book.<br />What I've found bothers me most about legacy story writing is the constant focus on breeding the next generation. You barely get time with your Sims as YAs before you have to start them breeding. <br />I prefer having the time for Sims to explore multiple relationships before settling down, to have lives of their own before they have families. I've enjoyed playing legacies, and writing the stories, but I'm tired of always having my female characters be mothers, and my males as fathers, if that makes sense.<br />Sims 1 pretty much prohibited any kind of generational play, since there was no aging. I haven't decided how I'm going to carry on with this story in terms of seeing these characters settle down and have kids, and whether I'll follow those kids through to stories of their own.<br /><br />Back during Sims 1, there were no legacies or other challenges really. In part because the game itself was just harder than Sims 2 or 3 in terms of keeping Sims happy (without mods). And also, no aging, no generational play. So back then all Sims stories were free form. Sims 2 introduced the legacy challenge and its derivatives, and that somehow became THE way to tell stories with Sims, and you saw a lot less free form stories. So, I'm not so much a trendsetter as I'm just going back to the way things were done before you kids starting coming onto my lawn. *shakes cane*yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-33105540470658178962012-04-11T20:14:26.649-07:002012-04-11T20:14:26.649-07:00...And I wrote you a book.

Ti, what are you doing?! She's never...Oh, gosh. Ti, what are you doing?! She's never happy, never satisfied. It's like she's looking for something in these guys, some sort of fulfillment, but it's never enough. I agree with the above comment; I feel like she needs to focus on herself a bit more, as an individual. Who she is without Coby or Rainier or any other guy for that matter.<br /><br />I hope Stina doesn't ruin Coby. That would break my heart. I mean, I secretly want them to end up together, but not if it's unhealthy for her. If they don't wind up together, hopefully Coby can move on relatively undamaged by the whole thing. I somehow doubt it though.<br /><br />I want to reply to your comment to Cece, if you don't mind. =) So you find this style of writing/playing to be liberating? Interesting. I was curious what you thought about this kind of story versus a legacy. I'm not going to lie, I'm very tempted to do something like this myself (a non-legacy Sims story) simply because I love this blog so much. But doing a legacy is nice because there's a clear beginning and end, and it helps you form your characters (especially with the random legacy rules). I'm not trying to talk you into starting a legacy (at all! I love this story too much! lol), but I just want you to know that your comment is helpful for me as well. I've never been much of a story teller or writer before I started the random legacy, but maybe someday I'll bite the bullet and get up the courage to start a non-legacy story. What can I say? You're a trendsetter Melissa! Haha.<br /><br />Also, I second Cece's/Becky's comment about learning from you. I know I say this all the time, but your an awesome writer and I love your stories, legacy and non-legacy alike! Can't wait for more! =)Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791098360536318915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-23189044771229658062012-04-11T17:30:42.463-07:002012-04-11T17:30:42.463-07:00I had a friend that used to call Stina 'The Ru...I had a friend that used to call Stina 'The Ruiner' during the Sims 1 era. She does wreak havoc on herself and everyone else, but I do feel for her, too.<br /><br />As for Nina, yes.

Having the time to develop characters outside the normal lifespan, not having a focus on constant breeding, it's quite liberating. I'm laughing at that because I'm restaging stories originally made in Sims 1, where there was no aging and the baby/child stages were awful and to be avoided at all costs, so in some ways the way I'm playing now is complete regression.<br />But I'm loving the fact that in any of my legacies, by the time I hit chapter 24, I'd be on like the third generation at least. As much as I like seeing how the genetics merge in Sim offspring, I'm really enjoying my freedom from having to write such a breeding centered story.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-31217434808293866672012-04-11T10:54:27.287-07:002012-04-11T10:54:27.287-07:00*hugs* Thanks, I must have read your comment the w...*hugs* Thanks, I must have read your comment the wrong way.<br /><br />I think your writing is pretty amazing too. : )yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770893502652214806.post-27121822114691131082012-04-11T10:30:14.960-07:002012-04-11T10:30:14.960-07:00Everyone learns a lot from Cali, myself included. ...Everyone learns a lot from Cali, myself included. Every time I read one of her updates it makes me want to do better. We Are Stardust is what inspired me to kick my writing up another notch and throw rules out the window in favour of plot.<br /><br />The way you use poses is just so... fluid, you couldn't tell they're poses and not animations if you haven't played the sims before. (Does that sentence make sense?) <br /><br />As for the story itself I really feel for Stina since I am/was exactly like her ever since I discovered what boys were good for. I met the love of my life last summer and then broke his heart because it was too much too fast and regretted it for months until I ran into him again in February and he gave me a second chance. Now I'm finally happy again, and I hope Stina realizes what she had with Coby was special.
