Andi is a character I've had for a bit. It was fun developing more of her backstory! Yeah I always saw her parents more interested in work. Not necessarily horrible parents, but the kind that are always "too busy" to go do something with their kids if they ask to go out somewhere or even have a bedtime story. Her brothers were/are protective of her since she's the youngest. Adam just doesn't have the best way of going about it at all. They kind of have similar personalities in that they're a bit independent and stubborn, so they clash. She and her mom have never seen eye to eye and probably never will. In her mom's eyes, she wants Andi to be more of a "strong woman," her way is the only right way to be strong, not Andi's or anyone else's. Chris is the best older brother, and Isaac sort of just started blindly following along with all of their mom's decisions once their dad passed away. He feels like he's the man of the household now, and that means backing up everything his mom thinks, even though it's not necessarily with the best of intentions. Yeah he was a real creep. In my mind Andi was more of a prize for him than a person. He's definitely yucky. Andi's not one to take things lying down. She will not let other people make her decisions for her ever!
Andi's a big people person, and just wants everyone to be happy and live in peace. Of course that doesn't always happen, but before her long series of misfortunes, things were relatively good. Thank you! She definitely was terrified, and sick to her stomach, a little angry too since as you said she was just about to get her life back on track. I kind of figure since sims, like the premades, show up in multiple games and live different lives in each one, the idea of multiple timelines isn't too far fetched. Poor Andi doesn't always have the best of luck in her alternate lives either. Though, she may get to turn that around this time. I loved designing The Fates! The title should really be The Grim Reaper is Merciful. He feels bad for Andi. It kind of goes along with how some of her other lives aren't that great. She kind of starts out with the cards stacked against her. There will definitely be a price to pay. Things may seem "normal" to her at first. The reset affects her in a strange way, and it also has an effect on someone she knew before. (Giving out little hints here)
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm glad you've enjoyed this first chapter, and that it made sense with the information I provided (one thing I really worried about when considering writing this). I hope you continue to enjoy (and the my most recent chapter isn't too off since I took a bit of a break). Your comment made me super happy!
Just for fun, here's a couple pictures of Andi and Adam in my Discover University test save. They're just the type of siblilngs to butt heads even during the good times.
In the second one I'm imagining him lecturing her on how to cook.

I might be wrong here but...I feel like I do remember Silas's name being mentioned in Chapter 1 but I forgot where, so I'm thinking maybe she has met him before? Then again I'm super forgetful so IDK. Unless she's going across timelines or something... Not gonna lie his comment about 'I can't imagine anyone hating you' warmed my heart a little bit. I really like Silas's backstory and also how he can sort of relate to Andi in the sense that they both feel very separated from their families- her feeling unsupported, and then Silas just not wanting to do what his family expects of him...At least that's the vibe I get.
