Starting Monday, 1/31/22, I’ll be on hiatus. I may pop in and post from time to time, but please have no expectations as I have no plans. 

I hope everyone remains well and I’ll see you when I see you.

“I’ll tell you what, Mum. Once I figure out how to turn you and Dad human again, the two of you can… create,” he wrinkled his nose distastefully, “a multitude of brothers and sisters for me. When they grow up, they can do all of that marriage and children nonsense and I can stick to what I’m good at.”

Eternally Ezra, Part One: Hellbound

What? A new post? In this economy?

Lol, I wanted to play Sims again after seeing all the Paralives content everywhere (that I can’t play, because my eight year-old graphics card can’t handle it). So I updated everything for the first time in a year and dusted off my CAS skills. If you can’t tell by the quote, I decided to play around with Phoenix and Kieran’s genetics to make an AU sibling for Ez. She’s adorable.

Hey all. After so many years, I'm going to go ahead and take a guess that most of you aren't around anymore, but I didn't know who else to ask, so I'm back here, imploring any of the lovely people who used to enjoy my stories to check in.

I'm looking for beta readers for Eternally Ezra: Book One. There will eventually be three, but I've only finished the first one so far and the second is still only about halfway done.

If you're interested, feel free to comment here or to DM me, whichever works. You don't have to be one of the old crowd. You could be brand new here and just looking to read your new favorite book (lol, no I'm not actually so arrogant to believe that, but it could be!). I would love your feedback either way.

I'm going to tag a few of my old friends here, just in case you haven't given up on simblr yet and you might be interested.

Hey, all. Just popping in to let you know I'm still alive.

No, I'm not back. But I am still busy writing Ezra's story in the form of three novels, of which I'm about halfway through at this point. And also Spellbound, when I run out of ideas for the former. Or at least, I hope to stay busy doing so after finally finding inspiration again after a year and a half of writer's block.

And if you're brand new to simblr and somehow ended up here, don't let the fact that I never post stop you from reading one of many completed stories, completed challenges, or... well, abandoned gameplays that were fun while they lasted.

My favorites, of course, being Eternally Ezra (featuring the sims pictured above) and its sequel, Spellbound, along with the companion piece Reborn.

Enjoy! Happy holidays to everyone in simblr-land!

“I have a hard time believing she ever really hated you,” his mother spoke up when his story was finished. “You’re such a sweet boy—”

He stopped her there. “You’re biased, Mum. I’m an arrogant workaholic who doesn’t get close to new people easily. My opinion on strangers is indifferent at best and at times can be better described as disdainful. I—”

She interrupted him right back. “You’re being too hard on yourself.”

No, I’m just barely scratching the surface....

Okay, so they might all burn to a crisp but the end of it, but for now, a tropical vacation seems to be just what the doctor ordered. 

[fataleromeo]

Travis has made an executive decision: time for a vacation. They don’t have a ton a money, not with five kids and only one paycheck, but they can afford some tents on the beach. Helena heartily approves. 

[fataleromeo]

Of course, with five kids in one bedroom, you get this happening at 4am. 

Side note, I love the look on the kids’ faces when they realize they might’ve been better off with the monster. 😂

[fataleromeo]

Somehow we managed to fit five kids in this tiny bedroom. Thank goodness for bunk beds.

[fataleromeo]

But hey, we had a birthday! Welcome to toddlerhood, little Otis!

[fataleromeo]

A typical day in the life of my sims.

[fataleromeo]

Naturally, as soon as his parents’ backs were turned, Jack and Orange snuck off to “hang out” in the treehouse. They are now officially dating. 

[fataleromeo]

His parents, of course, have absolutely perfect timing. 

[fataleromeo]

This is what manly bro hugs look like, right? Jack wonders, as he slowly begins to realize he’s had a crush on Orange the whole time.

[fataleromeo]

Grandpa stopped by to say hello, the younger boys made a new friend in Lionel Feng (whose parents probably don’t know he’s slumming it in the suburbs with werewolf cubs), everyone’s doing pretty well in school, Travis’s abs are getting more defined by the day (thanks, military career!), and Jack sleeps with a picture of him and his best friend beside his bed, nothing to see here, folks.

In other news, I wish curing illness was as easy as downing a single bottle of medicine.

Lauren is once again making trouble.
