Tails of Sulani - A Mermaid Legacy

Post by wyldhawke »

I figured since I'm going to enter this in the SimNaNo, I should post a boolprop topic for it. I found this challenge on Sims forums, and then heavily edited it. Rules as I'm using them are on my blog on the stories' welcome page - here - https://illusorythrall.wordpress.com/tails-of-sulani/.

Past that, I'm absolutely loving this story. I've played quite a bit ahead of what is posted due to trying to hold to one post a day per story, and it's hard to stop long enough to edit the pictures and add in the story. My history with challenges is usually that I blog just commentary-style, so writing in story-mode has been interesting, and is definitely making me more invested in the characters. Anyway, I'll post the chapters I've already got here.. and expect daily updates for a while as I try to get a post a day for the whole month! After that, it'll probably slow to once a week, but it will definitely stay in my post rotation.

I assure you, I saw the twins notification pop up and I was NOT laughing. Twin toddlers on off-the-grid is no joke, trust me.
Thanks for reading! I'm having so much fun with this story.

Twins are so hard to deal with, especially at the start of a legacy, and with the off the grid trait too? Even if they're mostly well behaved, I wish you all the luck handling them until they grow up!

Neither of them were well-behaved as twins. So that was a nightmare. I don't recommend it! And as kids.. let's just say, the monster lights don't work off-the-grid...

I hope you get your computer working soon!
Spoiler:
I think twin (or triplet) toddlers are just a nightmare in general. Gah I never even thought about not being able to use the nightlight. The lot trait plus the kiddos aren’t making it easy on you! At least you have a teen in the house now, which should hopefully make things a little easier.

Spoiler:
This has been a really tough challenge. And since my computer's going into the shop to get fixed tomorrow, I am taking today to play as far ahead as I can and get a ton of screenshots so I can continue with updates while my computer is AWOL. I also made the mistake of putting my "off the grid" lot on a lot in Sulani that isn't the "off the grid" and "oceanic paradise" lot.. simply because that lot was cheaper to buy at the beginning when I moved her in. I'm regretting my choice now, though, as it means I'll either have to do something that feels very Cheaty to me and move her lot to that lot.. or play another off the grid generation at some point in the future of this challenge. Not looking forward to it. As for having a teenager to "help" - it's not much help because he's a mermaid, too, which means he has a constant need for water .. and they only have one bathroom. So he spends a lot of time off in the ocean. At least I have the advantage of the fact that when the twins age to teen, Tevin will be aging out of the house, so it'll make the whole household easier to play.

You can’t seem to catch a break with the challenge! Playing another off the grid generation doesn’t sound like the most fun. I would look at it as just an honest mistake, but you can always make up for it. I didn’t think about the constant need for water with mermaids, though I should have. Having a smaller household when Tevin moves out will be nice. He has a really awesome tail though! The twins continue to be a hassle without being able to have that nightlight!

Spoiler:
I still haven't quite decided what to do. But I suppose I have time to decide, since if I did play another off the grid generation, it would be the conservation one. And that's the one after Corina's gen. Part of me wants to be stubborn and stick to what I did and just keep going, but another part of me REALLY doesn't want to do mermaids off the grid again. Going to be a tough choice. At this point, with my computer going into the shop in the morning, I've played all the way up to the first chapter of the next generation, and have 197 screenshots saved up for updates. Which is a LOT. Should give me enough for 9 updates, which I'm hoping will hold me over until the computer is back home safely. Oh, and as for catching a break in this challenge... I've seen the future.. and it's not going to happen. ^^ ;)

That sounds good that you still have another generation to decide. Mermaids off the grid I’m sure a really tough to take care of from what I’ve seen in your updates. I’m glad you were able to take some pictures while your computer was being worked on! :) This challenge definitely wants to well challenge you! I love seeing all the mermaids’ tails. So pretty! Your founders countinue to be cute together.

Yes, this has been a real challenge. Both posting without my computer, and the whole mermaid legacy challenge. So much work to take care of mermaids off the grid! And toddlers were a nightmare!
