That’s actually really helpful, haha. I’m a bit nervous to just throw Woodpine Valley out the window since I’ve been doing it since August and you guys have been liking my posts consistently and I’d feel bad depriving you of something you guys enjoy. However, I’m not 100% happy with some of the choices I’ve made in my game and I want to try again. I’m about 99% sure I’m going to end up quitting...
I have massive respect for anyone that can not only plan ahead but also let the story take them where it goes and is willing to rework those plans as needed. Not any easy thing to do for everyone!
Thank you very much! I love how nothing is cast in stone when it comes to storytelling. It’s what makes it so fun and exciting.
@simcatcher

My 2c worth but I don't think you should regret not going overboard for Anita and Joel's first night together. I recall having some empathy for Anita's struggle in being attracted to someone she wasn't supposed to have and then falling victim to temptation. I don't think I would have felt the same poignancy (or respect!) if it seemed like the writer was reveling in infidelity by being gratuitous.
I really appreciated your comments Megan, and they definitely gave me food for thought. Let’s just hope that my unwritten sex scenes were able to strike a delicate balance between gratuitous revelry and furthering the development of Anita and Jojo’s emotional as well as physical attraction, while also revealing more about Anita’s dissatisfaction with her relationship with Harry, and her escalating feelings for Joël coupled with her escalating guilt. ;=)
@goatkibble
And the fact that Anita WAS likeable back then (she still had some moral compass) also makes her decline now seem so much more of a shame. The memories hurt me Pru! ;-;
Awwww. But I think she’s clawing her way back! I really feel that now she and Joël are actually living together she’s going to turn a corner! She’s never been so content, she is safely ensconced ith Jojo and Jared in her dreamhouse, Georgina has crawled back to AP with her tail between her legs ...What could possibly go wrong??
@mada-didi
Thank you for the tag! I'm touched :)
You’re welcome Possum!

I can't believe there were a time you thought you're gonna lose followers because of new story direction (even NSFW). This is the second time I came across such statement (I've read the same thing at the end of @goatkibble Debit BC) and I was bafled again. Anyways, your story/blog is a gem and I consider myself lucky I've found you. ❤
Well, a lot of my followers were solely Baby Jessica/ Eunice fans and there were a lot who unfollowed me around that time. I’m guessing because they weren’t happy about me posting nsfw, or just about the emphasis on Jonita and not Jessica and Eunice. Or maybe because of Sims 4. Or maybe just cos my blog sucks :D

I enjoyed reading this! I know that feeling about worrying about losing followers when you do more NSFW things, I'm pretty sure I have lol, the past year I've lost more followers than I've gained! I think your story is one of the best here! I know I've said it before but I really do mean it!
I’m shocked you have lost followers because your blog is so adorable and fresh with such memorable characters..it’s one of the first TS4 blogs I really embraced and it’s just gone from strength to strength, especially your writing. Also Isabela/ Carnage is a masterpiece! But yeah, I still lose a shitload of followers everytime I post intimate pics of Seph and Audrey, which amazes me, really...guess Simblr isn’t so enlightened and LGBT-friendly as it would have us believe. Anyway I’m better off without followers who are offended by lesbians so it’s win-win.

I haven't had any issues! And I don't need my disc. I've installed all of my EP's through Origin so I can pick and choose which ones I want to play with and it just loads up!
un-reborntrip replied to your post “So the past few days I’ve been seriously thinking about doing a LEPacy...”
The 1.69 patch depends on how much you care about Origin's presence or not. I did for testing (for reasons) and I don't really regret it. It's a non-issue. Origin's got a chokehold on me much more with TS4 anyways. I've noticed the EP selection is glitchy though and doesn't remember my choices, though I usually figure that out by the time I get to the first loading screen.
Ah, so patch 1.69 just added the pack selection and made it so you have to have origin running to play the game? Fair enough then I can deal with that it’s just when I transfered my game over to my current pc probably nearly 2 years ago now incase I wanted to play again I got told several times not to install or let origin automatically update it, lol. Just gonna reinstall all again then probably don’t need to but last time I checked it wasn’t running well but I think that might be down to 7GB of store content that’s been left in packs :)
I was tagged by the fantastic @justkeeponsimming! <3
1. Pick one of your OCs.
2. Fill in the questions/statements as if you were your OCs.
3. Tag at least four people to do this meme!
I taaaggg: @simalienn - @ohthesefaces - @nikasimming - @sim-tropolis
OC Chosen: Giu di Forza
1. What is your name?
Giuseppe di Forza, though in all honesty Giu is just fine.

My Mum (Cadenza) named me after Giuseppe Verdi who was, and still is, her favourite classical composer.
3. Are you single or taken?
Single.
4. Have any abilities or powers?
Nope... unless... does writing count?
5. Stop being a Mary Sue!
Hah, good one. I think you mean Iris.
6. It’s fine, let’s move on. What’s your eye colour?
Purple. Yeah, yeah I hear you, but it’s true. It’s freaky but Elise says she likes my eyes. I was definitely really self-conscious of them for a while.
7. How about hair colour?
Brown.
8. Have any family members?
My two mums - Cadenza and Lyanna - and my sister Cat.
9. So, how about pets?
Oh goodness, well we have our family cat Bella (though she only likes Cadenza), whilst Cat has a parrot and a turtle at this stage.
10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like.
Terrible coffee beans. Hey, I can’t help it if I’m a coffee connoisseur!
11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
Writing. I can get a little obsessive with it, just a little. Also I really like playing video games in particular Left for Dead 2 and Assassin’s Creed; you can usually find my ass being kicked by Elise, however; she’s too good.
12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
I have to admit, I have said some horrible things to my sister in the past, and I’m still paying for it. I just... how can she not see the truth when it’s right in front of her?! The Cunninghams cannot be trusted! Yeesh.
13. Ever… killed anyone before?
Does killing a zombie in Left for Dead 2 count?
14. What kind of animal are you?
I honestly don’t know what kind of animal I’d be. I’m not a huge animal but at a push maybe a dog? You’d have to ask Elise, I bet she’s got a good opinion on it.
15. Name your worst habits.
Definitely fiddling or wringing my beanie in hands. I can also be indecisive at times.
16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
George Reed who is a respected and high profile publisher in Bridgeport. I was really lucky to meet him a few years ago and he gave me some really solid advice in regards to writing. Of course there’s also Hansen Blumann who writes the best post-apocalyptic books.
17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
Bisexual.
18. Do you go to school?
I’m just about to enter my senior year at high school!
19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?
Well, I’ve never really thought about it to be honest; writing has always been in the forefront of my mind.
20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
Elise won’t let on, but she’s definitely my number one fan.
21.What are you most afraid of?
Failure and not succeeding in my dream of becoming published.
22. What do you usually wear?
White shirt, blazer, jeans, sneakers. Oh, and my beanie. My precious beanie.
23. What’s one food that tempts you?
Pavlova.
24. Am I annoying you?
Not at this current point in time.
25. Well, it’s still not over!
Let’s keep the party going! In saying that I hate parties.
26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
Lower end of middle class.
27. How many friends do you have?
Not a huge lot, it’s mainly just Elise. We’ve been inseparable since we were three. I do have a few cousins floating around that I get on well with.
28. What are your thoughts on pie?
Depends, are you tempting me with a fruit pie or a meat pie?
29. Favourite drink?
Coffee!$@#%$~!
30. What’s your favourite place?
The railway bridge outside of town.
31. Are you interested in anyone?~
N-no, not at all. Heh, uh next one?
32. That was a stupid question…
No comment.
33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
Definitely a lake.
34. What’s your type?
I don’t know if I have a type? Oh don’t give me that look.
35. Any fetishes?
Yikes, what?! No!
36. Seme or Uke?
Are these types of sushi?
37.Camping or indoors?
Indoors, with a good book or video game and good company.

@thecactus replied to your post: Looking for a rotation challenge
simscommunity.info/soci… there are a few a around just gotta scroll threads, you might like this one.
Oh cool, thank you! That’s the kind of challenge I was looking for, something with rotational play that encourages you to play with game elements you might not normally seek out. There’s too much in this game I still haven’t seen yet. :) I think I’ll start with 5 families and roll randomly for my first 5 goal sets.
@ohthesefaces, maybe you’ll like this one, too?
I also found a very simple one by Chaotina - Sims 4 Rotation Challenge. I may borrow the aging rules from that one.
