The Realm of Magic game pack is finally being released tomorrow (and I have it and the next day off of work!).
I'm back! It's been... a while. Not only did I get behind on posting, there was a brief stint when I was hardly playing the game at all. I'm back to playing pretty much every day now and that means that I have a lot of story to catch up on in my Alphabetacy (my family tree is up to date if you are interested in seeing who is new to the group). I'm still not sure how I'm going to do that catch-up (because, let's be real, there is probably no possibility of me posting every part leading up to where I am at now), which is why we are here, today, with a brand new set of Sims ready to tackle the brand new game pack: ₴₮Ɽ₳₦₲ɆⱤVłⱠⱠɆ.
After years of wanting it but never having a working PC that would run it, I finally am able to play Sims 4. And I love it (as I knew I would). I am going to chronicle my progress here - mostly focusing on challenges and legacies but also showcasing other random Sims related things that I do. I currently am playing both a Disney Princess Challenge and an Alphabetacy (an alphabetical legacy), but I am paying a lot more attention to the latter. I love the little family I have created.
Some notes about my game play:
Some notes about my game play:
- For my legacies, I don't really follow the "official" legacy rules. I start small and modest and pick an heir each generation and go from there. Easy enough. No money cheats or anything like that.
- I do use custom content and mods. I steer away from the clayified Maxis hair and much prefer alpha creations when it comes to that, but for clothes and skin details and such, I do stick with Maxis Match. Basically, I like realistic hair (eyelashes and brows included) but not realistic skins or eyes. Some of the mods that I use are MC Command Center, custom traits and careers, and an aging mod that changes the duration of each age to be a bit more realistically proportional.
- I'm not the biggest fan of building. I will probably get most of my houses and other lots from the Gallery. I do love furnishing, though, and will be doing a lot of it.
As of this intro post, I have Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, and the Laundry Day pack. My priorities next will be the remaining 2 expansion packs, Parenthood, and Dine Out.
I have a lot of screen caps to edit and share, so bear with me as I get the ball rolling. And bear with me as I lose my mind over a game that has been out since 2014. If you're here reading this, you probably understand. I'll leave you with a teaser. Meet Helena, the founder of my Alphabetacy. I hope you'll love her as much as I do.
