Roots of Emerson - Updated Aug 2023

Post by ciyrose »

I don't know why I do this to myself, I really don't, but it's fun...which is probably why. I have a new challenge. Technically I have 2, but one hasn't posted yet. If you follow my blog you saw the update post this morning, but I have been busy enough that I haven't gotten a chance to write this up until now. So Roots of Emerson is a DITFT. I started it in anticipation for Snowy Escape to come out and to try and get myself back into the swing of things. It's been fun so far, so I hope you don't mind more stories to follow!

I have set up a main page n my blog that you can get to here, and of course, the updates will be listed below:

Spoiler:
I’m enjoying this new challenge so far. Tim seems like a sweet guy, and I hope he finds someone nice to share his life with.

Also it’s so hard to not create new challenges. I have to stop myself all the time from adding more to my plate since I haven’t updated any of my current ones since summer.

Spoiler:
Totally agree! I actually have another one I started too. lol I need help :)
I actually did this because I was struggling with getting back into playing and remembering where I was on everything, so I started a new one to get my sim-legs back, so to speak. I have so many more I could start. lol

Spoiler:
I wonder who this mysterious girl is?

Poor Tim! City folks probably aren't a good match for him.

Ooo Kayla. I like her.

Looks like Tim has a little crush. :)

Tim and Kayla are cute together. Don't worry Tim, I'm sure she won't judge your house.

It was fun to try and write a little "mystery" into the story. :)

I like Kayla too and I think they are cute. I'm super excited to see where it goes.
Thanks for commenting. It's one of my first more story-esk blogs I've done. It's still what is happening, but I'm trying to put a little more into it. Always freaks me out a little. :)

It IS a fun challenge. I have one started in TS3 too, but have been hooked in TS4 enough I wanted something that would "force" me to try some different stuff. :)
Spoiler:
I hope they are happy as well, and thank for reading!

Spoiler:
I'm glad Tim is so happy with Kayla!

He's very diligent in his gardening it seems.

Awe poor guy, he doesn't need to feel so self conscious. I think Kayla really meant what she said about his home.

Tim is such a sweetheart.

Congrats to the happy couple!

I have really enjoyed writing for Tim. He is very diligent with his plants, and never complains when I send him on collection runs. Kayla also wants to hang out with him all the time. It's really cute. I'm super excited to see how the rest of this goes!

And I finally got round to reading one of your stories!!
Spoiler:
First off: I love DITFT challenges (though I never manage to complete one), I think they provide such a great base line for writing a story. Your founder looks great and totally has a farmer's look to him. Emerson...lovely surname! Tim's house has such a cosy feel to it. Great start to the challenge, I hope Tim finds his special some one!

Was that a glitch with the basketball?? Never had one of my sims do that! Ooooh I love Kayla's looks - I think they will make some interesting children if this progresses and she ticks the 'Loves the Outdoors' box! I've never actually had my sims eat out on a date and it looks like such fun! They're so sweet!

Aww, I love how Tim is so diligently working on improving the house for Kayla and he's already got quite the garden going! And..oh wow, that proposal...so romantic!! I love the fact that you took your time to show Tim and Kayla's growing relationship and all the dates were super cute! Looking forward to see these two get married and have kids!

Awww, hi and welcome!!!! :hug:
Spoiler:
I really liked the name Emerson too, and I think I just rolled until I got one I liked. :)

I think it was a glitch with the basketball, but I have no idea. I thought it was funny. I have been trying to do better at taking my sims out to do things. :)

I am getting better at my proposal pictures. lol I'm glad you liked it, I thought it was super fun. I'm excited to get back to these.

Thanks so much for you comment and reading, it's always fun to hear what things people like to see. :)

Hey, looks like I had been missing on your new challenge! DITFT. Seems to be getting quite popular lately! It looks fun for sure!
Spoiler:
I really like the narration Style for this challenge, is a nice change of pace from tge others! Also really like Tim, he seems like a very sweet guy.
I've never married Kayla, but I've seen that She's usually a really good spouse, so congrats on snatching her! I hope they're very happy together!
As usual, can't wait to see the babies come! :D

Haha, I have started so many I'm not surprised! I need to get back to play more regularly, but RL has been wiping me out. :)
Spoiler:
I have enjoyed doing more the narrative style, so I'm glad it's coming across well. I'm super excited to see how Kayla is as a spouse, but so far I think she's super fun.

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the update. Hopefully, there will be more soon....darn that RL getting in the way of playing/blogging. :D I'm glad you enjoyed their story so far, I had a lot of fun trying to build in "time" and the progression of their relationship. I'm excited to see the nooboo too!
