Slow progress continues on the artistic outlet/side project I shared a couple years ago. As appearances go, this slow progress bears an uncanny resemblance to me picking it back up after doing nothing with it for over a year. Funny thing, that. Much of the delay has been a severe lack of substantive plot development […]
A gray, overcast blanket of clouds pushing from the north coupled with a steep, inclining ascent into the Graves helps ease the oppressive midday heat bringing relief to the scouting party searching for Cedar. Though helpful today, Rihas is certain these clouds proceed cooler air and the arrival of heavier clouds laden with rain for […]
Fourteen years ago, on October 10, 2009, I began a long and self-expressive, creative journey by depressing twelve keys on some bygone keyboard in a deliberate and oddly specific sequence, “Meet Julian.” At the time, I had become fascinated (if not entirely engrossed) by an extraordinary new installment of the Sims franchise, The Sims 3. […]
I’ve taken a short break from writing and rendering over the past few weeks. I’ve been busy sharpening my software development skills, learning Python and Spark, spending some time playing video games, and consuming visual novels. I have stored quite a lot of creative energy and feel ready to continue messing with my fictional people’s […]
“… you animals!~~” “m-my mates… you k-killed them!~~”” Why!?~~” “WHY!?~~” “RAAAHGhhh!” Rihas awakens with a violent, tortured jolt, his heart racing and body covered with sweat. It has been the same occurrences these past few mornings as his growing sense of dread intensifies. He had experienced something similar in the days leading up to the […]
Awesome update! Really enjoyed this chapter. Additionally, what a fantastic write you are! You make the stories so enjoyable with just your writing. Of course, the plot is fantastic, too. Can’t wait to hear more from Hope.

Do you just use EA Story Progression or do you use a mod to enhance it? I’m curious.
Loved the update!

Nope, no mods. But I understand there are some pretty cool tools out there. I’m just so paranoid about using them, hehe.

Wow, what a beautiful church. Did you make it?
I’m excited for Hope, she seems like such a charming little girl. I really hope she doesn’t get taken advantage of for being so kind hearted. Excitable sims are a lot of fun to play, I think. They have some great facial expressions.
I’m sorry to hear about the SP. Sometimes it can really give you a cruel hand. I remember I waited so long for one of my spares in a legacy to have a child (outside of the active household) and when he did the child died randomly. It can be really disappointing. But, I’m glad you’re not going to let it get you down. The show must go on, as they say.

Heh, David is excitable, and he does some of the craziest things when he’s idle. I’m looking forward to seeing what Hope brings to the table as the story moves forward.
Yep, I did make the church! (as my wife giggled at me “…they go to church too?”) I’ll have to upload some of the characters and such to the exchange some day.

Ah, I hate these plots that go untold for quite some time. It’s utterly annoying yet it feels so good to finally figure out whatever it was just a few chapters later and you feel happy and content…until the next plot. But it feels nice and worth it to wait for these long plots to finally be finished. Though Reid’s plot has certainly gone untold for a long time, the plot of what will happen to generation 10 will probably be a much longer wait. I bet Reid will come back as his ghost and tell someone of what was in the mine and a big excatvation will begin without the Barimen heir knowing about it. I am SO hooked! Well done!

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! It’s kind of like watching X-Files, instead of answers, all you get are more questions. Unfortunately, the overall plotline will not resolve until the tenth generation… sorry… hehe.

I believe I have an answer to finding Diedre & Claire. To find graves of your Sim family, all you have to do is go to the mausoleum located at the graveyard. I haven’t played TS3 due to technical diffculties running it (quite frustrating), but there’s some option to find any family or friends who have passed on. Hope I have helped.
