The Nishijima Immortal Dynasty: If at First You Don't Succeed (Completed)

[tjtemple]

Absolutely brilliant     What a profound way for Takao to spend his last few days as an adult, and brilliant completion of your dynasty.  I know how worried you were about that final shot, and you totally nailed it.

I will miss the Nishijimas, but definitely look forward to seeing them take their rightful place in the Hall of Fame!  Many congratulations 

[Nettlejuice]

Congratulations! Have to wonder if the Watchette will ever build those Balinese houses for them =) It's been a pleasure to read <3

[LenaLJ]

Congratulations on completing the challenge

[MarianT]

Congratulations! "Cake me up, Scottie" Great!

Congrats @oshizu I knew you could do it! I love this family so much that it's sad to see them go, but I'm so happy that Takao can now move out and live with his wife and kids :-D

Congratulation on finishing

Great job

Congrats!! *throws confetti and hands cake* Well, done. This story has been a joy to read from the beginning and I do hope you get a chance to write something more in the future. Also, you have to tell us about Takao's alien/hybrid kids now that you can enter manage houses. How hybrid-y are they? Thanks again for the ride!

@Shewolf13  Thank you so much! I never thought I'd enjoy the storytelling aspect so much, but encouragement like yours is so precious!
                     And now we have not one, but two, stories of yours to enjoy!
@Playalot      You've been such a great source of inspiration and support. Thank you for encouraging me to start a story.
                     So fantastic that you've started a new tale which is so different from your first! Where do I sign up for your fan club?
@KRae          I'm embarrassed to I've been somewhat infected by your Family Empire story, haha. Love all your founding couple, all the nooboos, and your wonderful one-liners!
@FrancescaFiori   My lifesaver! Since your timely tip, many are the townies who have been dragged into the Nishijima closet for a makeover! I keep checking "The Singular Life of Mr. G. R. Gamboa."
                    Please tell me that it's just on hold for a bit.
@JudesSims  Big-hearted simmers like you make it easy for novices to work up the courage to start posting a story! Your constant words of support have been much appreciated.
                     Now share some of your "triplet mojo" with me!
@LivvieLove    Oh, thank you so much for stopping by! Your "Reapers Genetic Legacy Experiment" has given me soooo many hours of reading and viewing pleasure! Majnun Forever!

[JudesSims]

Aww, thank you, oshizu! At least you're an excellent writer! All I do is narrate. I still enjoy documenting my Sims' lives though.

@tjtemple  I've enjoyed our various discussions via PM about immortal dynasties and gameplay in general. Thank you for your thoughtfulness! And when do we see Emily and Richard's nooboo?
@Nettlejuice   Haha, I actually started another file and bulldozed the Villareals lot, thinking I'd build a Balinese beach house for Gen8 as part of my last chapter.  But then, I decided to just finish the chapter.
                  I did actually spend hours yesterday looking at photos of beach houses, though, ultimately deciding that Balinese-style beach houses looked the best and "sims-doable."
                  It's on my To-Do List but I'm not sure who'd live there yet.
@LenaLJ and @MarianT
                  We newer players stand on the shoulders of giants! What makes this forum such a great community is that the veteran players generously help novices become better players.
@Magpie2012  Thank you! You are one of my "frequent-flyer" readers! Always love reading your comments.
@Alarianna   Thanks so much for reading!!!
@dontmindme   Oh shoot, you'd asked me earlier what kind of cake we wanted! Thank you for reading and your interest in those two "the-game-considers-them-full-aliens" children.
                  I'll post something short about them soon!

Congrats on completing!  Poor Takao, his wife already aging up.  But all the kids are adorable!  I was quite pleased when you mentioned Branson? (I thought it was Brandon before) can now do the handshake.  So how does it feel to be done?

[LivvieLove]

I hope you'll let me know when you start a new story! I would love to follow you from the beginning!

Oh you caught me!  I'd written Brandon all over the chapter then realized it was Branson and went back to change it. It's always harder to spot one's own typos, innit?
Yeah, his wife became an elder by the time he ate ambrosia (now you know why she was constantly having babies), but I cleverly made a save while she was still a young adult.
So I can still play the family, giving Takao & Steph youth potions and give them a home of their own. Won't be doing that for awhile.

I'd like to do something very different next, a short challenge leading to a longer challenge. I made the founding couple last night.
Looking forward to more of life with the Behrens!

Well, thank you!  I can only pray that my next feeble attempt might be even 5% as addictive and mesmerizing as your Reapers Genetic Legacy. Honest.

Aw! I'm totally flattered! I'm sure it'll be great! I'll be along for the ride! Just find something you're passionate about and go crazy!
