maybe i am dumb, especially with the plotline/story, but… who’s the sperm donor… is it an ivf, ethical non-monogamous relationship thingy, or queer platonic relationship thingy… or ???
again… sorry if this question is dumb… i feel so embarrassed to even send this ask, but i am lost…
NOOOOO dont be embarrassed!!!! it's totally fine!! i did change things pretty drastically with absolutely no explanation LOL but long story short: there's not really a plotline anymore. i cheated with mcc so my same-sex couples could try for a baby and that's basically it !!!
just to explain things a little better since i disappeared and came back with everything suddenly being so different: i really, REALLY, missed playing sims. like actually playing day by day, watching their lives happen, not worrying too much about storylines or where everything was going
for the past year and a bit, i was mostly opening the game to pose sims. and that's totally fine!! i genuinely had a lot of fun doing it. writing and editing are things i've always loved too. i've been writing little stories since i was a little kid, so getting to combine storytelling, editing, and sims was something i enjoyed a lot.
but i've been missing the actual gameplay side of things. i wanted to open my save and see what happened next instead of feeling like i had to set up scenes, brainstorm, take hundreds of screenies and move the story forward in a specific direction.
playing day by day, family gameplay and just letting life happen is what made me fall in love with this family almost 4 years ago in the first place!!! i think i've been realizing lately that i dont want to lose that part of it and get to a point where i start resenting the save or feeling like opening the game is a chore. i love these sims way too much for that!!!
and before anyone asks "why dont you just make another save file for gameplay" PLEASE know that i've tried LOL!!! i always end up playing for a few days and start thinking about this family again…. i really dont know what it is, this legacy has me in a chokehold lol
so right now im pretty much just playing the game, taking cute screenies of their everyday lives with minimal posing and minimal "staged" storylines, and i've honestly been having a lot of fun with it!!!
i know thats probably disappointing for people who followed me because of the edits and storytelling. i know it's a bit abrupt, especially since there's so many unaswered questions. i actually DID have everything planned out!!! i had outlines, scenes written, edits done, and the story mapped all the way up to ellie having her first child (with gabe…. yeah, gabriel was originally the dad lmao!!!!!!)
but it's summer, i suddenly have way too much free time and i think i've realized i just want to enjoy my game again!! maybe i'll feel differently someday, maybe i wont. who knows!!! at the end of the day, this is supposed to be fun, and if im forcing myself to keep telling a story i've fallen out of love with just because i feel obligated to finish it, then nobody really wins i guess
we can absolutely pretend everything that happened before is still canon though LOL ellie still had her accident and the trio still had their fallout, and all the drama and heartbreak and terrible decisions and emotional damage, and this is just a massive timeskip where everyone eventually went to therapy, talked things out, healed and now they're happy LMAOOOOOOOOO am i going to show how they got from point a to point b? no im not….. but we can imagine that they got there eventually
i know this kind of posting wont be everyone's thing, and thats totally okay!! there are so many incredible storytellers out here making amazing stories and i totally understand if that's more what people are looking for
but for everyone who's still here and still cares about ellie and her silly little life, thank you!!!!! i hope you'll still enjoy seeing what these little pixel girlies get up to, even if ellie isnt in constant agony anymore LMAOOO
