Take Me to the Moon 1.1 ... The Beginning

This is the beginning! / Next Chapter



Meet Maddi Tesla.  She's a cheerful goofball who loves the outdoors.  Her driving purpose is to find and love her soulmate.  




As soon as she has bought a toilet, a bed and a shower, Maddi heads to the park to meet said soulmate.  She is confident that this person exists, and she will find, and woo them.


We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming...


The more I heard about Sims 4, I couldn't resist.  

I decided to get the Sims 4, and one thing that delights me tremendously with a new sims game, is playing a legacy.  Strictly by the rules, it is a terrific way to get to know the game.  Sheer gameplay.

If you've been following Simdale Valley, I won't feel badly if you don't read or comment on the legacy.  Really, truly.  I know you may have zero interest and that's ok.

Simdale Valley is going to be on hold for a little while.  Work is way too stressful and time consuming right now, and playing a game without pressure is much more appealing and relaxing at the moment.

I'll either return to Simdale Valley in Sims 2, or there is a chance I'll migrate Simdale Valley 
to Sims 4.  I already created Todd Phillips and he is just right as a Sims 4 sim;  I'll have to see how it goes with my more central characters, Chelsea, Madeleine, Julia, Hattie, Seiki, and the bunch.  

There is an option to turn off aging in all houses you aren't playing, and it looks conducive to playing rounds.  

So far, my Sims 4 sims have that je ne sais quoi that the Sims 3 sims lacked, for me.  As a hardcore Sims 2 fan, so far I am very happy with this base game.

Playing with Fire

March, 605
PSU Honors Dorm
Featuring Julia Jones and Hattie Granger.  Julia, Hattie, Gordon, and Seiki are sophomores.   Ophelia Nigmos is a junior.

Last Update/Next Update



Julia and Hattie are planning to move out of the Honors Dorm, if they can find an apartment they can afford, before they start their junior year.  The bad food, and bizarre dormies, get to you after a while.  And with Julia's scholarships they think they can find somewhere to live.

Julia has been in a rut with Abram since they got together at the end of her freshman year.  Their relationship was like phosphorus burning...so bright and hot for a brief shining moment.  She just doesn't seem to care about spending time with him, even though she cares about him.  He hadn't seen her in a while, so he dropped by the dorm during a jog, and she just about totally ignored him.
