Welcome!

Back in early 2006, I got a new computer. When I ordered the parts to make the new computer, as an impulse, I threw Sims2 onto the order list. I had played the original Sims a few years before and figured it would be a momentary diversion while I tested out the graphics on my new beast.

Well, I was right about one thing. It was definitely a diversion, but it certainly wasn't momentary!

I found I had a passion for the game, both in playing it, and using it as a storytelling tool. In the four years I've been playing the game, I've spent much of my free time playing this game, writing stories inspired by the characters in game, and sharing the results of what I've done with the fantastic community of people that also play the game.

This site is the home for all the stories and other things I have done with this fantastic, engrossing, frustrating, and fun game. I hope you enjoy!

The Pseudo Legacy



The majority of my storytelling efforts with Sims2 has been focused on the Pseudo Legacy. When I started, most legacies were done in a commentary style with a play-by-play run down on what was happening with the family. I was drawn more to the plotty stories and loved the serialized storytelling of comic books, so that's what my little legacy quickly became.

Awesomesauce Bachelor Challenge



The Awesomesauce Bachelor Challenge is an interlude of the Pseudo Legacy, following fourth generation spare, Miranda, in her search for friends.. er.. love.



Tales of Isla Lostundo



The very first custom neighborhood I made was Isla Lostundo. Without really understanding the rules for a Prosperity Challenge, I pretty much set my neighborhood up with that concept in mind. The first incarnation was lost to a VBT and blew up rather spectacularly. The second incarnation wasn't exactly lost, but I set it aside after character bloat and other problems. This story is based on a trimmed, third incarnation of the neighborhood.

The idea was to play without story in mind or posing, but still craft a story out of the events of the game. I only published one chapter, but I'd still like to continue it.

(This one is published blog style.)



Boolpropian Round Robin Legacy



The Boolpropian Round Robin Legacy (or BRRL) was a joint venture started by several members of the Boolprop forums. Each person was assigned a different Maxis hood to play their turn in. This was a heavily story based round robin legacy with each chapter adding to the mythos. My turn was in Veronaville for the fifth generation of the family. I highly recommend reading the whole thing (some awesome stuff by some amazing simmers).

The Bad Romance of Archie Vetinari



In 2010, DocNerd, of the Vetinari Dualegacy was having a really crappy time for a variety of reasons, so a bunch of us decided to surprise her with some stuff to cheer her up. My contribution was this little story for Archie Vetinari, one of her more.. unique.. characters.
