Thanks to everyone for your sweet comments and helpful feedback < 3 I’ve had a couple of people ask about worldbuilding and character development so I might put a blog post up on the inspirations and how I go about it! Thanks to all you guys for reading Gen One. I’ve still got some notes to do and in-game setup for Gen Two. It looks like Ellen is currently in the heir lead!

Spoiler:
Is Lyla still the current matriarch?

Yeah some of the objectives probably would seem weird if you were told about them, especially having a baby in a rocket ship! :lol:

Ellen definitely doesn't know what she's getting into moving to Forgotten Hollow.

New chapter is up! Ellen is surprised to find out something about her new neighbours...even if it's not all that surprising.

Chapter 2:2- A Warm Welcome

Spoiler:
I love how much Ellen loves bees. I'm terrified of them, but good for her. :lol:

I wonder in who's loving memory? Everyone Vlad destroyed to get there?

Grim is so precious!

Lilith's outfits are snazzy. They're sort of old but new looking. Vintage I guess you'd call them.

Really Ellie? You're an alien, and you don't think vampires exist?

Caleb is so funny with how old fashioned he is, and hey it's never too late to discover the Sims!

Caleb is an adorable dork. I can see him becoming good friends with Ellie too.

Thank you so much, I always like reading your comments <3
Spoiler:
I really like that screenshot of Ellen surrounded by bees for some reason. XD We'll have to see with Vlad's memorial statue, in the game there's a portrait of him, and the item's description gave me a little idea I still need to build on. Yeah, Caleb is a fun one to write, half edgy-vampire-guy and half old-fashioned-dork. : P I'm glad you like my Lilith makeover as well, I tried to give her a sort of dark alternative look!

Here we go! I'm finally going to get caught up. :D
Spoiler:
:haha: I'm just imagining the crows pooping on Vlad's statue all day everyday.

For someone so smart, Ellie seems a little dense with how long it took her to realize vampires are real.

It's nice to see Eli again! Yep no one remembers the drummer, it's sad really.

OMG Eli. "I passed out it was a good time." He's ridiculous, in a good way.

Of course Vlad would be a diva about his painting looking just so.

I like that the story is kind of sort of set in the future.

I hate Vlad! Time to start carrying so garlic in your pocket Ellie!

Lilith is awesome for fighting Vlad, and I loved Caleb adding his two cents as well.

Maybe it's used to summon werewolves. If EA ever decides to add them.

Lilith needs be careful, but I think she's the one who's right when it comes to Vlad. He's way beyond listening to what anyone has to say.

I love how adorably dorky Caleb is.

I can't imagine Caleb being able to handle space. Too modern for him!

The Vavtore's father is awful. Interesting that Caleb and Ms Hell were a thing.

Yay a Lyla sighting! It's also cool to see Ellen in her alien form.

Ellen's moving a little fast there...

Of course Caleb got abducted! This'll be interesting.

Just catching up. I love Ellie as the heir. Her brand of genius cluelessness is fun to read.
Spoiler:
I also love how you are writing the vampires. I never thought of writing the stories of the Vatore's and the Count. I am enjoying all of their different personalities. Lilith, to me, is awesome. She's feisty and fun and protective, too.
I like how she is both modern and still has a violent vampire side. And the contrast of Caleb's more old-fashioned and more diplomatic approach is also nice. I look forward to seeing how these two help Ellie stay safe.

Ahh I love hearing from you! Thank you so much for your kind feedback and I'm glad you're liking Gen Two < 3
Spoiler:
Yeah Ellen's genius is not a social one or an artistic one. :P The Vatores and Vlad have a very slight bit of canon history, so I've decided to build on it by looking into vampire lore and also a little bit into history as well. Yeah as much as Caleb and Lilith value each other, they're also very different from each other. Caleb doesn't really revel in being a vampire the same way his sister does.
Thanks so much for continuing to read, I really appreciate it < 3

Spoiler:
Genius-y stuff. :lol: I have a feeling Ellen thinks everything she does is genius.

Awe Caleb got a little makeover. He's not going to be able to hide being pregnant from Lilith forever! What is he doing, just not speaking to her. I'm sure she totally doesn't think that's weird at all.

I'm sure there are vampires who have kids running around (or that were running around) when they were alive. Caleb doesn't strike me as the type.

I kind of sort of ship Caleb and Ellie.

Who'd you expect her to pick Francis? You haven't talked to her in months?

I feel bad for Caleb, and his dark form is super spooky.

Well Caleb, buddy, I have some bad news for you on the mind reading front.

I'm glad Lilith came around to the idea of Caleb having a baby.

I love how much Caleb loves Alice already. :heart:

Thank you both for your sweet comments! I’m so glad you’re liking gen two!
Spoiler:
Yeah, Caleb is often worrisome to tell his sister about stuff because he thinks she’ll be annoyed by it, even if she’s fine about it most of the time! We’ll have to see where that ship sails, 108...maybe you might be onto something : p
