update from me, and some stories from behind the stories
sorry it is taking so long to get the second half of "Lizzy's Delimia" up. I am in the process of writing it, between loads of laundry. :) I hope to have it up sometime today. tomarrow at the latest. sorry it is such a long story. of my 23 houses that one takes the longest to play. nearly a week...so many people in there. Part of why I had Mel move out.
hopefully I will be able to get "Lizzy's Delimia" done today, along with doing Mel's new home. as sims move around it will change when their story appears. since Mel moved basicly next door to his parents, he will be next. after him is Dina Caliente. Both stories should be relativly short. After that will be a sim I created, Kitty Crazy. I started playing Angela Pleasant's house last night so her story will be with in the next few days.
I want to say thank-you!!!!!!! to all of you who have bookmarked me as an artist. I truely appreciated the complament of being seen as an artist and it gave a great boost to my self confadence.
Also, if you have fallen in love with any particual sim and their story it may take a while to get back to them. I did a sim yearly cencus and discovered I now have 60 sims living in 23 houses, apartments and/or dorms....yikes. It took me a while to fall into a better rythem with my game playing. Some of my self impsoed rules for population control is starting to work. Before I put a limit on how often sims could drink the elixer of life, I had adult sims that were becoming close to the same age as their kids. Kitty Crazy was one such sim, however she should become an elder soon. Melissa and Staphon are mostly responsible for why romance sims are currently banned from marring. their daughter Lizzy was not an attempt for a baby by me. I told them to woo-hoo because Melissa's aperation meter was so low she was having breakdowns instead of caring for her infant. three times the game changed it to try for baby, and no matter how much I tryed to stop it, well...Lizzy happened. I find having romace sims acting as trouble makers more intresting, and keeps the game from becoming boring.
so as some of my older sims start to die out I think the population will start to drop. making for less sims to follow. since I am only trying for baby every 5th woohoo, the number of new borns has dropped. however, the number of twins born is on the rise.
the so called "bias" against townies is basicly me not wanting to add more sims for me to have to play. I've been incorperatiing it into the stories as an added twist to the nieghborhoods socially shared belief system to give them a more shared culture.
enjoy the stories, many of them interact with each other so your faves will put in appereances. with their being 60 of them they're not a very tight knit community anymore. so there are different circles.
