Back to the Stars- the Galactus ID Chap 10 is up! 4/27/2016

[oshizu]

Welcome Ripley ! (Watcher, are you a fan of Bladerunner?)

About a remark you made about a previous chapter: I didn't actually realize a rocketship crash could cause death.
I'm glad Han survived to repair his damaged rocketship without his spacesuit.

This chapter: Han and Ulrike are just such a perfect couple! They look so right together!
I'm glad the baby stage is short cuz I can't wait to see Ripley as a child.

What a great photo of Ripley! I love the name, cant work out if it's a boy or a girl (Loved Sigorney Weaver in Alien... Ripley rocked!!) Han definitely looked menacing at the hospital, so the Doctor must be very happy he wasn't 'spoken' to!! hahahahaha

[Magpie2012]

I'm gonna guess and say Ripley is a girl (but only cuz I loved SW in Alien as well!) I had more to say but now I can't remember it lol old age is getting to me ;-) anyway, loving this as always (how could I not, it's a Wolfie/Jessie story!)

Yas, Ripley! Han should have beaten the doctor senseless after the nooboo was born =P

[wfgodot]

aww, I love how having a nooboo kind of gives Han a reason to give up his desire for answers (at least for now).  I think Han is even more excited about it than Blake was.  I can't believe Han's already an adult.  Can the sims actually die when they give birth at the hospital?  I keep seeing the heart taken out by mistake, but it always ends fine.  Wasn't sure if it was a thing or just a silly joke. 

Congrats on the nooboo, I like the name.

Some folks have made stories they put up in blogs, and most of them I can't read.  Not that I don't want to.  With bad eyesight and light colored words it's just impossible.  You, however, have made it not only possible, but downright enjoyable!  I read the entire story, (so far), in one lovely reading.  You really have a knack for writing and working the shots in.  Well done!  Cried over Kade, (I expect he'll be around in ghostly form soon), cheered when Ripley was born.  Following the story so I get updates in my email!  Yes, it's that good.

@Playalot

I know, right!?  --shakes head-- I still say it would be kinda fun if that was a death XD But then, we know I'm a little crazy XD

@oshizu

I am, though I've only seen it once and it was a long time ago XD And yeah, they can die by rocket ship crash.  Technically, it's from fire, but it's fire caused by the rocket ship.  Which is why it's worrisome.  Aren't they though?  I love those two.  Watching them is so much fun!

@KTK10

Thanks!  I was happy to get that shot actually ^^  The game was acting a little odd with some stops and starts after pauses, so taking photos got a bit weird there.  You'll see in the next update ^^ But yeah, I loved Sigourney Weaver too!  I cracked up when I saw Han.  I mean, most of the Sim dads are panicking and running around, but not even Blake looked that menacing XD

@Magpie2012

Thanks hun!  You'll see next update ^^

@Nettlejuice

I agree! lol I can't help but crack up every time I have that happen in a game XD I was just talking with Play and saying how it would actually be kinda cool if that was a death.  Only because it would give an incentive for the mother to need to be well cared for during pregnancy, kinda like in TS3, if the mother was cared for, you got to pick the trait.  If she wasn't, you had to take what the game gave ya.

@wfgodot

Blake was excited, but it was something he truly wanted.  Han had never really thought about it before and now here it was!  I know right?  The first few weeks of an ID go by so fast for me XD And no, they can't.  As I was telling Nettle, I kinda wish they could XD  I just wanted to use it for some fun drama.

@Joria

So glad to hear that!  I do try to keep things readable.  I don't do with really light colors either so I try to go with themes and layouts that are easy on the eyes.  Plus, I like the freedom of a blog so I can organize things how I like.  I really like to organize things XD I may have a slight obsession there XD  Thanks so much!  Really glad you liked it ^^

Working on another update.  Hope to have it up shortly.  Kind of in a poor mood after dealing with coworker at work, but hoping writing will help with that.

Chapter 7: Never Tell Me the Odds!

[Playalot]

Ripley is so gorgeous, such a little cutie. I love how Hans is already super protective of her.

[wfgodot]

lol.. I love how Marcus called Ripley a "little thang". 
hmmm... do you pause the game for parties?  That's what I've done and gotten through relatively easily.  I can direct everyone to do a task and swap around and make sure they aren't sidetracked by conversations, and then unpause.  Rinse and repeat.  Not the most fun way to get through, but it goes so fast sometimes!

You know, it would probably be rather disjointing to have a sweet little nooboo in your arms and then suddenly it's a fully grown talking child! 

Sweet chapter!

[Nettlejuice]

I adore Ripley and her little smirk. That bug had me confused and running around in wild circles, one second it was fine and then it looked like time was running out. After calming down I had to micromanage more than ever. Hope it gets fixed soon.

[oshizu]

Gahhh, I got my references mixed up! I asked about Bladerunner because I saw Ridley instead of Ripley and was thinking of the director Ridley Scott.
How funny that everyone associated Ripley with Alien (SW), another movie by Ridley Scott. I'm losing my memory.

Wow, Ripley is absolutely gorgeous.  Which parent has those electrifying green eyes?
Laughed about Han getting all possessive on the first day Ripley becomes a child.  And I look forward to seeing your stubborn Ripley!

How have the children of Marcus turned out? Are they lovely?

[KTK10]

Ripley is adorable! I too like Han protective nature.. but also LOVE Marcus weighing in with the threats too! I must have missed him turning Elder.. I agree with Oshizu.. love to see some photos of his kids! (*feeling a bit cheeky asking!*)

[Shewolf13]

@Playalot

I know right?  I was so happy when I saw her age up!  I can't wait to see her as a teen!

@wfgodot

Hehehe, Marcus is a fun guy.  I do actually, heavily XD lol.  I ran into the timer bug.  See, when I was first getting it, all it would do is show a solid circle until about the last third of the party, but it seemed to keep time alright.  Except during the parties I was trying to throw, the timer was going wonky.  It would stay solid, then the time would count down super fast (even when not on speed 3) then it would slow.  It was really weird.  I found that I couldn't use speed 3 at all during the parties and that's how I finally got them. 

@Nettlejuice

Agreed!  It's going beyond micromanaging at this point XD It's doable but it's really difficult.  I hope it gets fixed soon too!

@oshizu

That's fine ^^ Hehehe, everyone was right, it was the Ripley from Alien.  See, all the names will be characters from space movies ^^  Ripley got her beautiful eyes from Ulrike, actually.  Hehehe, yeah... father and daughter should make things interesting XD

@KTK10

Hehehe, when I was growing up, my dad had two best friends... they were like my second fathers... both good and bad XD  And yes, I am going to get shots of Marcus's kids.  Just haven't had a chance yet in game.  I have about one or two more chapters to put up, then I can get back to playing. 

Just as a heads up, the next couple weeks are gonna be a little insane.  I'll have 5 days off starting Thursday.  But starting Friday night-Saturday morning, my family is coming up.  I love them visiting, but it's often hectic.  Once they leave, I will have one or two days to recuperate, then I work 8 days straight since my bosses are taking their only vacation this year.  So I have no idea what my playing/writing schedule is going to be like XD

[Joria]

Ripley is not only "cute" she's also very pretty.  I can just imagine her grown up.  Wow!
Miss Simiverse maybe?
