Thank you Peachy! I think I won't be planning on doing super extensive photo-editing for the future updates(too much work lol), but I figured since it's a short prologue it could set the mood.

It does. Good work so far. I'm on generation five in my Disney Princess challenge so far.

Thanks Ani! I've actually been reading your Fairytale Finders also, but I'm only on Tiana's generation at the moment. Let's just say I've also taken some inspiration from OUAT. :wizard:

It seems like a good idea, it wasn't all bad, at least until the seventh season when I couldn't even bear two episodes of it...but that's just me.

Nice, finding someone so early. Red hair too, I guess you HAVE been reading my DPC huh? :lol: I just named their first kid Emma like in the show. Interested to see where it all goes from here.

You've made it further than I on OUAT, I got bored of the plot around season 6 then I heard how bad the final season was and just never bothered.
Hehe indeed, though Lucien here isn't as handsome as Caspian IMO, he had two bolts and a high level job so I figured it must be fate. :cheeky:
I have an Emma too but, that's much later to come.

Chapter 1.2 is now up. I've actually already played through Snow White's generation, so will get those remaining chapters out soonish.

This is really fun, it's nice to see a themed challenge with a variety of goals. Lol, poor Snow and them hoops she has to jump through, but she's a trooper!

I enjoyed the prologue :yes:

Always the way huh? Boys when you want a matriarchy...I've been through that with Aurora. The Sims 2 rules made me go look for the Sims 3 ones, I rarely play Sims 2 anymore but there are things I miss about it, like the CC skins. Four more to go, will that girl ever appear?

Thank you! Glad to see you're enjoying this so far. The first generation was indeed very challenging, but somehow I think it worked out.

Ani:
Spoiler:
Yeah, I love especially all the fantasy skins that are available, I kind of went all in with townie-fying them as you may have noticed.
:slaphappy: Well, the later the girl comes the better, since I have more time to complete the goals, but I was getting tired of only singles and just wanted multiples to get the kid requirement over with. Snow's pregnancies were brutal. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. :wizard:

Aw, thank you I'm glad you're liking my attempt on this challenge. Yeah I love fairy-tale themed stories in general, so I thought I'd have a go at incorporating a plot haha. As for the storytelling flavors, I'll try my best to incorporate them if they fit into what I'm doing. At this point though, Snow's spouse has already moved in so I can't do the Cinderella one like that. But we'll see in the future. ^^

Well, you did a good job at making the goals challenging! I think I did alright, as you will come to find out. I tried a method to break two birds with one stone and it kind of worked out. Anyway, thanks again for your comment. :celebration:

OK, I think I'm hooked. I cannot believe how sinister the Queen is, although it's not too far off from her original counterpart. What does she have planned for James, and is her child going to grow up to plague Snow's descendants in the future? I can't wait to find out.
In-game: Wow, Snow has had it rough. I'd like to try this challenge myself sometime, albeit undocumented, but Snow White's generation looks like the toughest, what with raising seven children with a Sim right out of the box, all by herself. But congratulations on finally getting your heir; I hope things get slightly easier now that James is a teenager and can help with the babies. I wonder what skills each of the dwarves is going to build?
It's been an enjoyable start to the legacy; I look forward to seeing where you take it from here.

Oh yes, the Queen is a piece of work. I actually consider her an evil alter ego of my simself. And I am already tough on my sims so...it doesn't bode well for the White family. I knew she had something sinister planned, she already does a LOT of walkbys, so couldn't resist inducting one of the family members into her plot.

In retrospect? Raising these kids wasn't so bad as you will come to find out when I get out the last three updates of the generation. Now in my ISBI(which I've been playing on the side and have yet to publish), that is chaos. I did okay with the dwarves skills, but I think that's also one of the most challenging bits.

Anyway, you've reminded me I need to post an update so I'll get right on it!

Finally some girls. Like me you got boys first then multiples come along and solve the matriarchy problem. I do want to get back to my Sims but it's NaNo month and until that's done (which going by my stats will be on the 15th) I have wait on that. Anywho, now we can finally see Snow marry her man. :)
