Six at Sunset [UPDATED Chapter 3]

[ve1ocity]

Hi everyone... 

I'm very new over here!

Welcome to my first ever Sims 3 story.   

Destinies of six very different women collide as they are dragged into a ruthless game of power.

The once pleasant Sunset Valley is overshadowed by the invisible yet omniscient presence of the bitter struggle between the 'old blood' Landgraabs and the 'new blood' Altos. This battle spanning six years dictates each and every aspect of life in the suburban neighborhood.

In a world of high business and low cunning, who of these six women will survive and finally emerge victorious?

Do check it out! Links are at the end of the post. I've planned out the whole story so it will be updated on a very regular basis.

I really love comments and feedback, not only about the story but also about my writing style. Hope I won't be disappointed!

Hugggssss

You've started out well for this to be your first ever Sims story, much less your first ever post on the forum!

I love the theme you have chosen for the blog and the quote. It's very fitting.

This is an interesting and exciting cluster of characters you've chosen. I especially look forward to finding out more about Jacqueline Landgraab!

Welcome to the forum. I'll be reading!

Welcome to the forum, ve1ocity! Your story looks very interesting. Good luck!

[RaiaDraconis]

You certainly have piqued my interest. I love how you are including many of the lesser used characters (I love Bessie...she's a sweetie!) It will be quite interesting to see how you tie seemingly unrelated characters into the plotline. I will definitely be reading!

The start of your story has already engaged me! This is a story now found in my must-read list.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone:)!

@Rachel : I am reading your Evangelista's story and loving it!

@MissPlumBob : Thank you for the encouragement and love your username:). I'm excited about Jackie too. I've played Sunset Valley many times, and while I've planned the whole story our, Jackie brings a twist of unpredictability in!

@ApplesApplesApples : Glad you liked it:)! Keep in touch:)!

@RaiaDraconis : I've always felt sorry for Bessie. with a rather sour husband and a player son, life just seemed to go nowhere for her. So gave her story a twist here!

@Katie123urgreat : Woow that's very encouraging:)!

[ve1ocity]

Yep, Chapter 1 is up:)!

I've just got a few technical questions to ask you people:). Would be really grateful if you helped me out:)!

How do you move sims around in poses? I've tried moveObjects bit it doesn't work for me. Maybe I've been doing something wrong, because I've never used cheats before.

So keep commenting:)! Happy simming!

[RaiaDraconis]

You are highlighting the inherent struggle in the town quite well, and it's nice how you are fleshing out the personalities of the roommates. Very good start!

There's a good thread on the forum about taking good screencaps, found here: http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/forum/index.php/topic,2126.0.html

I really like the first chapter. Tamara is a good character, and i hope that possibly her crazy roommates will be able to help her with her past problems.

[ve1ocity]

Hi Raia and Sadie . Thank you for your encouragement !

@Raia: The thread was really helpful, thank you:). I've figured out the cheats, and though its still very awkward, I think I'm getting better:)!

@Sadie: Lets see...

I love hearing your comments. Plus, tell me if you have any suggestions for the blog. And for all those people (like me) don't comment at first, I've added a like and ratings buttons! So if you like the stuff, like it and if you hate it, just give it a one star rating! I just love any type of feedback!

[SadieHamming]

Nice update. The whole story idea is really cool! I also like Holly's makeover.

Thank you Sadie !

You really motivate me!

[RaiaDraconis]

Eep, how did I not notice that this had been updated?

Nice makeover for miss Holly by the way. She is one of those characters that you just sort of feel bad for. She hardly even knows her parents in the beginning of the game, and I can't imagine it would be easy living with an evil mother or mean-spirited father, even if he is family-oriented.

That being said, interesting take on Holly's plight. What would be her weakness? Acceptance. Being able to be herself. Given River's reaction it's pretty clear that Holly's name is well known and finding acceptance from her peers is tough.

I have to say though, I never pictured Parker to be a bully.

Yipes...this story is making me think!
