Mia:

:spoiler:Yup the baby will be adorable enough to have the wait be long enough. Have all of Winter waiting to get published, first one is almost ready. Finally caught up in writing so things will probably be interesting to read because I'm not checking myself as often. Other words chapters will be everywhere for a little longer (until I at least get a job).[/spoiler]

Update!!!
Spoiler:
Thanks to Mia I'm on a roll, sorry if its long winded I'm trying to work on changing my story writing a bit. Sweetmeatons I think are going to be one of the roughest to read. Hope you enjoy though on seeing how the family is doing!
Spoiler:
And mourning gifts are appreciated. You'll see what I mean. :cryingeyes:

Whoa, spoiler alert. Might need to edit that :tongue:
Spoiler:
Nooo! Benjamin! Now I'm sad. *starts singing "The Circle of Life"* :party2: I'd like to meet a Candy Land deity some time. Maybe there's some plotty goodness hidden in the tomato pies? Nice chapter, waiting for moar :bounce:
What? The mourning presents? Eh... they got lost in the mail :shifty:

Thank you Mia, yeah that just tells how up to date I'm being on this site....
Spoiler:
Yeah it took me months to actually get back to writing when that happened, it happened during my Winter Blues... Yeah I'm starting to have small ideas on who exactly the Candy Land Gods are (actually getting close to actually wanting to buy Candy Land). Love the song you chose, I'm still heart broken about his death that I didn't even think of that.
Thanks again for reading.

Okay just a note after a whole month break, had to change my email account but because blogger is connected with google it doesn't make it very possible to keep my account with my new email. So I'm going to try out a new blog... yay? I have several new chapters to be posted, so hopefully I will be working on it.

Okay it has taken me 3 months but I finally have an update!!!! Galleons again would like to say hello! I'm hoping to update now at least once a week..... Unless something big happens, I'm taking a year off of school so I'm viewing this as an independent study on creative writing. (Also I wrote this on my new blogger account, next chapter I'm trying on LiveJournal... going to see which one I prefer. I don't exactly like how blogger is stuck with Google all the time).

The Galleons are a cool family. I like seeing all the businesses, though venues can be a real pain in the beginning. The new restaurant looks really nice from the outside, I'll have to check out MTS for some (probably small) restaurants too.

Thanks for enjoying seeing all the ideas I came up with for businesses!

Thanks for coming by again Lorinsv! Yeah its a beautiful restaurant on the outside, a bit chaotic on the inside. But it works and gives me an idea when I try building another one later on.



New Update! Calling it a kickstart weekend! On livejournal, had a bit fun last night of just posting this up. Not sure why, but I hope its fun/easy to read as it was for me!

I have another update once more! This week is the Galleons again! Hope you will enjoy how Mr. Chocolate unlocks a few things for me this Spring.

The latest three chapters:
Spoiler:
You're awakening my sweet tooth with all these baby names! Now I can't get butter cream out of my head *frown*. I like Chocolate's narrative, will someone pick it up after he's gone? Remember that this is a Daisy Chain, meaning he has to die while Jewel is still fertile.
Your transition to LJ seemed to go quite well. I like this background more since pink is evil it's easier on the eyes. At first I thought Candy was the nanny, totally forgot she had aged xD Wait, why is there a different font for the girls' pillow fight picture and why is it so gorgeous? :o There it is again, by the telescope! Aaw, Candy totally deserves Komei! <3 Is that redhead's name Brandi or Brittany? (Someone might need to read through their chapters before posting)
Why are the Galleons still on Blogspot? So Jessica IS a true romance sim! I was doubting whether or not she just had friends over. "Juices" :sly: I'm going to pretend I didn't see Komei swooning over her. Maybe Butter Cream will unlock the Music career? A college of dancing... this I want to see.
So the Galleons are actually outlaws? Sounds like plot. Anyhow, I'm really excited for the next chapter! And what are these "royals" you speak of? <.<

For updates I'm using blogger for now, since I can't save LiveJournal in between times I update. (so other words unusable for because I can't sit and post one blog). I might try Wordpress maybe, but there will be a point when I get these all in one blog. I will try to get another update this week, but my new job has taken a bit of steam out of me.

Mia, thanks for reading!
Spoiler:
As you see in later posts, I'm playing around with the Point of View. Mainly because I'm trying out the different characterization I have to do (and actually cuts down my picture posts because a sim can only do so much.

I didn't do a good way of balancing out the intros, and Candy's age up happened right after Benjamin's death. So personally I was angry with her age up, which could have caused the confusion. Note I won't be having any nannies until at least a certain population count.... I personally don't trust nannies. I will try to figure out the font, I've had difficulty to make sure the font I want to use stays..... I might one day just do slideshare because I would at least have control for all my fonts and layout.

I pretty much have it as a background story that Chocolate was rejected from a SimCity mafia family, so with his own connections he ran off to Sweetmeaton where he was able to do what he wants with his benefits. Jessica being a ex-burglar just kind of asks the story anymore. I mainly kept the outlaw up because the only restrictions they have is unlocking careers/districts, and Daisy-Chain. Yes Jessica is 90% Romance, she just loves the loving (next to guys either hate her or flirt with her, its a curse). I ended up really having Fortune be her secondary so at least they would sometimes have a common wish every so often, next to dating each other. Butter Cream I'm going to see, he likes Music but I'm wondering what is going to happen when he's a teen (Lolli is really the only teen that is still similar by attitude on Wants and Freewill like her childhood, Skittles is 2nd place on that list).

Hopefully over time my posts are going to be a whole lot easier to read. Though I think the next post is actually going to be worse....
Personally I like the PINK, Candy approves!

I just binge-read this, and I must say, I enjoyed it. I have a hard time telling the Sweetmeat kids apart, but that's to be expected with that many, I suppose.

I like how the town is growing, and the relationships that are forming. And you made me laugh several times, too. The characters really do have some character, don't they?

I'm afraid I don't have a lot of specific comments, because I spent all my spoons on reading, and have to get offline again, now, but I'll add this to my regular reading list, and comment on future chapters more regularly.

Finally got all caught up. I took a couple days squeezing in a chapter here and there until I finished. Sweetmeaton is going fantastic! Congrats on getting a university! I'm sad that Ben died, he's one of my favorite sims. Though Komei is too after Arbor Watch. Chocolate and Jessica, those two are an interesting couple. But they definitely make it work. And Butter Cream is just too cute.

Glad you guys love it! Also really happy you guys are understanding where I'm trying to show off with this town!

Sorry I haven't made many new chapters, after getting sick in August and finally getting a job in September, and now finally having my laptop for myself (along with a new one coming soon that will at least make posting easier if I can't play the Sims). I will be working on chapters again because I darn miss Sweetmeaton.

Thanks again for the comments, I just love that I ca share the fun that this huge challenge has given me for a fun Sims experience.

Looky here! A new update, a new sim, and my first trial at discussing things with my special sim...

New chappie! Let's see how my phone likes somewhat simultaneous commentary...
Spoiler:
A wild simself just appeared! I already love the way you talk to each other.
Whoa! I've been creeping around sims.wikia.com for ages and I didn't even notice the descriptions!
Paper boy! Could it be - nah. It wasn't Alon.
Komei and Chocolate are such snobs. Then again, they're both married, so glancing at other women might not be such a good idea.
26 mini-Bouncers DOES sound exciting! If you move each one into their own household your SM would really boost :o
I am predicting that through mods, cheats or Candy Land magic, Brandi will be one of the future fathers.
Ah, the Gamer career... How are we supposed to know their social conventions if all we do is play sims?
My first thought when you said there's no graveyard: "Brandi shall stay on the lot, haunting her best friend foreverrrr!"
Father A, baby A! Get it? 'Cause his name is Abhijeet! *hopes that the cycle will continue alphabetically* G for genie...
Your chapter brought me a great deal of joy in this otherwise oh-so-boring wait for a person.
Would you mind uploading your simself, either on the official simself list (see link in Pony's siggy) or exclusively for me to zombify?

So glad it worked out to enjoy!
Spoiler:
-Yeah, the commentary ended up being so much fun I was worried people would be annoyed by the wordiness. However after reading years of commentary challenges I knew I needed to try it.
-I also just found the personality descriptions by accident, I personally didn't know personalities could interfere with playing until I joined boolprop. So Someone taking the time of saying what is what, is personally me noting what I need to know later on.
-The sad truth, you know what Alon looks like while I forgot there was more then one when I was writing this. Now I'm embarrassed.... I should just make a paper boy house for all of them after awhile...
-Eh, just even being nice enough to have a nice conversation would of made me happy. Nothing but a head nod and a fight about the computer behind the scenes. The boys definitely had a new view compared to how I've been at least playing Komei.
-Exactly what I was thinking with the amount of sims, not only genetics but huge population bump in the end.
-Will have to see, I personally have been starting to use mods. I don't have all the expansions yet, so some mods don't have a good mix of what I do have in game already.
-I personally play social games too, and hit my head on the desk so hard after that one mistake I had...
-Hehe ghost Brandi would have been darn interesting, still have 26 kids to see if that ever happens.
-Totally just happened in the situation, because 2 bolts equal automatic woohoo I guess for me. I personally will probably play in a style of how many points I can get outside of the cheaty pregnancies (yeah no fun, but better then a uber corrupted town I've been playing for a 1 1/2. )

Glad you did enjoy it! I personally will be trying to play the other households and getting them posted quickly so I can play her for another season!
Will get Bouncer Simme packaged up soon as I figure it out (never done it before) and have a good amount of time with WiFi (so probably this week since I'm going to a few places for NaNoWriMo this week!)

Spoiler:
Haha, I see Brandi's... persistence, shall we say, as a rather broad hint to move her into Sweetmeaton. (Or maybe I just like her, and Abhijeet, and don't see them moved into BaCCs very often, if ever, that I can recall!)

Those Seasons career chance cards are the worst! And I really like that you're using the Middle of Nowhere handicap at the start of your BaCC, I wish I would have thought of doing that in mine!

Anyway, fun update, and I'm curious how many Simlebrity baby-daddies Bouncer hooks up with!

Thanks so much for commenting Lorinsv!
Spoiler:
Yeah the most I've ever seen Brandi really, personally I think a lot of these characters will somehow get in Sweetmeaton! But yeah you rarely see them, personally at the moment I just love watching her as I continue to play (along with finally really seeing the personalities come out).

The Middle of Nowhere handicap personally is the love and in the beginning of the entire challenge made things difficult enough I had to throw Mr. Galleons into the town too soon. Main reason in the end why I gave Bouncer a house right away with all the nitty gritty intersting stuff that happened to the Sweetmeats and they still barely have a house. Also helps to avoid Social Workers in the end.

Again glad to hear you enjoyed it!
