Hey there!
I'm a fairly recent convert to the Sims series compared to some, in that the Sims 4 has been my one and only experience of it to date, but apparently I'm hooked enough to have sunk a lot more time into it than is probably sensible! Admittedly, most of that has been concentrated into the last few months; I was reminded of the game's existence back in May when a big deal was being made about the base game being free for a while, so I gave it a poke again and haven't really looked back. Reading some challenge-driven stories in various places has now inspired me to tackle a dynasty myself, in the hope that having some sort of goal to aim for could combat my terrible habit of abandoning my poor households about halfway through their second generation or so! Hunting for rulesets led me here - well, to this forum, anyway, since I've made use of Carl's guides before, and after a little bit of lurking I've decided to register and (hopefully) commit myself to doing this latest anniversary dynasty legit, with a story and everything. It's a good excuse to try getting back into writing again, I think, so it's worth a punt. Knowing that I have a propensity for dropping projects not dissimilar in scale to my tendency for shelving households, it may also be a touch brave, but still - here I am...
