Hi! I'm Nikki and I call everyone darlin'. :D I'm pretty much obsessed with Berry Sweet Sims. Currently prepping for a Berry Sweet Legacy (!!!) I support the #berrysweets4sims4 movement! (And yes, I'm going to get Sims 4) I track the tag #oxonikki Previously known as: nikkiplaysgames

UPDATE: I'm still alive! o/

I really, REALLY do not want to end my legacy (again) after the first prologue post, but I need your input.

With Sims 4 coming out and with me approaching my final semester of college, I don't know if I'll have time to dedicate to actually writing this story.

So... please send me a message, or reply to this, (or ignore it completely), or whatever you wish, and let me know which of the following I should do.

Carry on with the legacy, even if updates don't come out for weeks or months.

Do a casual play of the rest of the legacy, nothing really 'story line' oriented, but simply the Sims living out their lives.

Scrap the story. You've tried twice and have lost motivation twice. 

Recreate the Sims as best you can in Sims 4 and try again there.

Super secret fifth option.

I just don't know what to do, and I don't want to disappoint you guys, but RL has to come first, and I cannot put my whole soul into this story like I want to right now. But I also don't want updates to be several months apart. What are your thoughts?

PS: I plan on coming back after the end of this semester, but I won't be active daily due to having to focus on college.

[oxonikki]

PSA: Going on break until the end of the month

The next couple weeks are going to continue to be hectic for me (thus my silence for the past week or so) between school, work, and everything else.

I promise the legacy will continue starting in August, but I have to focus on life for right now.

Sorry guys, love you. <3

Guys, I think I have a new favorite.

I'm gonna hide for a while. Everyone is getting so mad about no story progression and I'm just like idgi? Sims 3 sp wasnt even that good guys. I plan on getting it. I feel Sims 4 has great aspects. Yea, some things are disappointing, but I'm sure they have reasons for doing what they're doing, and maybe all the bad hype isn't exactly what it seems and its getting blown out of proportion and I'm gonna stop talking now and go hide on Twitter/youtube/crunchyroll til I get off work kbai

At work Sims 4 Musings

So I just read that there’s no story progression in Sims4. Now, before jimmies are rustled, let’s think about this…

There are story progression moda out there. Who is to say we won’t get one, even if it’s not EA based?

Also, it has been mentioned that families age and die. That’s about it. Babies don’t get born randomly. But really, how hard is it to switch over and tell two Sims to make-a-de-bebeh and then switch back? Another note, when the household empties, it gets filled from a townie list. What if we could customise the families in that list?

I personally have very mixed feelings about Sims 4, and to be quite honest, I thought no story progression would be a deal breaker, but then I actually thought about it.

This way, I can tell the stories of a few families and how they all interact with each other and not lose progress on any of them.

Edit because I cannot copy replies on my phone: I agree that s3sp didn’t work anyways. I use nraas sp haha. Which is why I actually took a second to think about it. I think removing sp was a good move, though I’m hopeful that in the future, someone can make an sp mod for Sims 4, cause it’d be nice to have the option of letting the families do things on their own. But no sp is not a deal breaker for me. I look forward to it. :) Edit 2: I suppose also the no base code for story progression would pose a challenge for toddlers trying to make a sp mod. Admittedly idk how it works, but hopefully someone can figure out how to do it. But if not, I mean, is it really that hard to pop from house to house and be all like K YOU'RE EGGO IS PREGGO NOW, NEXT! and just do that every once in a while? Idk idgi. Story progression isn't that important. To me at least. XD

When I get bored at work, I take selfies. Heyyyyyy everybody! :3

Edit: also that feel when you send a fan mail on mobile device and you have no idea if it actually sent..

[oxonikki]

Ugh. I just spent the last hour and a half in game trying to edit this house and my game froze.

I’m sorry you had such a bad day…! </3 :( Do whatever you need to do to make you happy! You deserve it. (I suggest cookie dough if it’s available)

Unfortunately, no cookie dough. Though I did eat literally an entire box of mac & cheese. And it was Kraft and not Velveeta. :C <333333

tl;dr - I had a horrible day and I'm just gonna get in game to *play*

I might post pics of characters that will appear in the Tulle legacy, but it won't necessarily be the same time-line, nor the same universe. FYI.

Horrible. Awful. Day.

The place I work for is essentially only in the market to make money with little to no regard for our tenants and their emotions and lives and everything else.

Long story short, I drafted a contract for a tenant to have the garbage they placed (very VERY neatly) by the dumpster removed from the property by the end of the work day tomorrow, but just as I'm finishing the draft for the contract, my manager calls me and says to tear it up and starts cussing up a storm. Said she called our boss and that was what we should do.

So I basically hung up on her, called our boss, and was like LOL NOPE and OH HEY LOOK HERE ARE MY EMOTIONS and started crying hysterics in front of the tenant (who realized something was up when I hung up on my manager), in front of the tenant's son (who was totally crushing, and it was adorable), and well, to our boss. Basically telling her I can't do this anymore, that we're so horrible to these people who have been through hell and back (we got flooded not too long ago, and many things of our tenants were destroyed), and I will not rip up this contract because these people are fucking trying to work with us.

And then our boss was like lol okay, calm down, and told me that everything was okay, don't rip up the contract, she didn't have both sides of the story, and well yeah. So all is well.

But, my manager? Yeah, that's my boyfriend's mom. And we were supposed to go over there for dinner today. So, to test the waters, I called her after everyone left and I started closing up for the day, and I explained what our boss decided, and she whatever'd me and hung up. So, I tell the boyfriend to go ahead and go over and have fun, but I'm not going over there.

And then I get home.

And cry my fucking soul out.

And sleep for four hours.

Then wake up and eat an entire box of mac & cheese because #yolo.

Ugh. 

SO, as the title says, I'm going to get in game and just... play. <3 Don't worry, I'm definitely not running away from the Tulle legacy. I just need a minute, know what I mean?

this never stops being fantastic

[amydentata]

This kills me every time

[ihateeveryoneexceptfiona-deacti]

I will NEVER grow tired of this EVER.

[oxonikki]

I'm going to try to update more later in the week, but that's the end of the prologue. c:

Tonight, I have Shadowrun, and tomorrow I have to work on my project, so stay tuned for more of the Tulle Legacy! :3

[oxonikki]

The next thing I knew, bag in hand, I was running.

Down the stairs...

...out the door...

...running...

...running...

...running from a family that was no longer mine.

[oxonikki]

I pulled my school-bag close and collapsed on the floor. I knew I only had a few precious moments to pack what little would fit into the bag, but still, I pulled my knees to my chest and cried. 

...though, all things must come to an end, and so did my tears. I threw a long t-shirt that would serve as pajamas, a few pairs of under clothes, and what little savings I had into my school-bag.

I had to be strong until I could get anywhere else but here.

[oxonikki]

And that was when I'd set off the bomb.

Father's completely calm demeanor vanished within an instant as he leapt from the couch and screamed,

"YOU ARE NOT MY DAUGHTER! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

It was all pretty surreal. It felt like eternity, but looking back, I know it was only a few seconds before I processed the horror before me and practically vaulted out of the chair and rushed up the stairs to what would soon no-longer be my bedroom.

[oxonikki]

I remember the immediate stab of terror slam my chest. Usually, my father is not an angry man, but as my gaze shifted to him, I could see the pure fury in his eyes. And, unfortunately for me, it wasn't directed at my mother.

Very calmly - the kind of calm where you know if you even blink wrong, you're going to set off a bomb - my father uttered two simple words that froze my heart.

"Get. Out."

Sixteen years... sixteen years I'd lived in this house. Sixteen years, this man called me his little dove. I was his only child, and now that was ripped away from him.... and me.

"But.... Daddy...?!"

[oxonikki]

"Snow... Wynter isn't your daughter."

This was the confession that changed my life forever. To be honest, I still don't know who was more shocked: myself, or the man I'd thought to be my father for the past sixteen years.

[oxonikki]

Well, I'm just gonna go ahead and proceed with my plan to post the entire prologue (edit) today. c: Enjoy~
