It’s great to be back 😁 sort of. I’m getting there, haha. sounds like you’re gathering a small swarm of mayflies at this point, aren’t you? I look forward to seeing which ones make it!

Yes! I’ve noticed that too! I can finally use emojis in your comments, woo! It was weirdly frustrating that I could not do it in the past 😂

Hi Yimiki. It’s really great to have you back ❤
I just went on another small domestic trip to visit family, so I still don’t get to sacrifice Simlit that much time. The small Sims4Studio creative projects I can do better go on and off.
I’m so far ahead of my game, but looking for an angle on where to start on the next chapter. While I’m looking, I play a bit casual and collect more random stuff that I think would also do great in a chapter. It doesn’t help me and I definitely don’t need more mayflies to distract my focus!! 😬😂
As a step towards the starting line, I think it’s fun to have these conversations with my characters, to get a different angle.

NB: I notice that my WP allows more emojis now. I have no idea how it happened 🤔 …It is probably an effect after an update.

Aww, sim-Mona getting postcard from the story characters is the cutest thing. It looks really well-done, too! Haha, they’re calling you out for not writing about them now? That sounds very familiar – mine have done that in the past, too 😅 I think it’s good to have other creative passions and social commitments outside simlit. Clearly Rasmus and Tusnelda don’t agree, though 🤭

I love the wall-breaking of seeing sim-you playing the sims, in the sims, in a written story 🤣 visiting everyone again it really feels like it’s been a while! I’m glad some of those side characters ended up being much more than mayflies. I can’t imagine Tusnelda and Trix any other way now 😁 I’ll happily read on a little longer, for as long as the story continues <3

Ha ha! I’m glad you can read Simlish. (Maybe I should have done a translation)
It has almost become a new obsession that all writing that appears in the game must be Simlish. I have therefore started to change the text on Elijah’s posters to Simlish script. I can get very nerdy sometimes 😆

Thanks for your comment on my Gimp skills. I keep forgetting how to apply transparent layers so the first attempt always requires blood, sweat and tears. I should repeat that exercise once a week so as not to forget it. Getting computer screens and postcards scaled down to the right size is also a challenge that requires many failed steps before I am satisfied. It can keep me busy for a long time, but I love the challenge.

I definitely want to continue Tusnelda and Trix. I’m already way ahead of what’s going on when it comes to my game. Already last summer I took pictures of the birth and Rasmus and Izumi’s wedding, only to repeat it all again in the game, this summer. Since last year, several new characters have crept in.
You probably can’t accuse me of being superficial when it comes to that story and there are many threads that weave into each other. Every once in a while I need to get it all at a distance to renew my perspective.

I laughed at your remark about the longest fall break ever. I remember some rainy summers from my childhood, although this one might break the record. I’m actually pretty bad with too much heat, so the temperature has suited me just fine. A bonus is that everything looks fresh and green.

I would love to see Tusnelda and Martin finally get pregnant or come to terms with it never happening, maybe adopting, some sort of closure. And I still want Don and Marcus to get their heads out of their asses. So I selfishly do hope you continue to write Tusnelda and Trix, but only for as long as you truly feel like it. While it’s always a little sad to see a good story end, it leaves room for new things to blossom. I know I’ll always be waiting patiently in the Danish rain for whatever you choose to do next ❤️

(I heard someone call this summer “den længste efterårsferie nogensinde” 😂)

Thank you! ❤️

Aww. Thank you! ❤️

I often feel like I need to sit down and talk with my characters to get motivated again. I like how you found a fun way to do exactly that.

I really enjoy the rambling, intertwined storylines, multi-character experience. This whole story has been a lot of fun. You’re a talented storyteller. I’m here for whatever you decide is next.
