Hello, New Darlings! 🌻
I’ve noticed some new followers here recently so first and foremost I just wanna say welcome! We are currently in the 1930s of a Sims Decades Challenge that has gone off the rails into full blown story mode. Starting from the beginning is recommended, although of course you’re welcome to dive in from whenever you started following. But if you would like to read more, here’s a bit of a guide on where to begin:
If you’d like to read Gen 1, I recommend starting with The Prequel and working your way through The 1890s and The 1900s. This is because there isn’t much of a clear delineation between the three; however, they are also the shortest and easiest to read. They cover the lives of Oliver, Florence, and Adelia as well as the upbringing of Rosella, Zelda, Virginia, and Isaiah.
If you would like to start when the story really begins to pick up, I recommend beginning in The 1910s. While this chapter will drop you in on ongoing plotlines, it stands on its own as the life of Rosella and Virginia, ties up the lives of Gen 1, and shows key formative moments for Zelda and Isaiah.
If you would like to jump in on the current cast of characters, I recommend beginning in The 1920s. This is actually my secondary recommendation after starting from the beginning, as it begins with a clear delineation and new plotlines. It covers the life of Gen 2 heir Zelda, as well as introduces Antoine, Josephine, Giorgio and shows the upbringing of Violette.
If you don't have alot of time/inclination to catch up, I recomend beginning in The 1930s. This will get you information directly relevant to the current plotline and covers the ongoing lives of Zelda, Antoine, Giorgio, Josephine, and pivotal development for Violette.
If you’d like more info even after all of this, browsing “extras” through the character portals is filled with my rants and insights into character motivations/personalities.
Also, we are grown out here, so this is a general content warning for alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, cursing, bad choices, and TV-level sexual content. I use the tag sim spice, but will also be linking out to Pillowfort when things get a little too HBO for Tumblr.
Likewise, there is a list of potential trigger warnings in my pinned post, but in general this is a story that deals with historical themes, attitudes, and prejudices so please proceed with that knowledge.
But more than anything, welcome, have fun, and enjoy the mess babes! ♥️😙
