Well, I'm finally back in Tusnelda's universe. There should be no doubt that I have many plans for the story on the drawing board and in the middle of it all the Horse Ranch expansion pack was released. I was completely seduced by the neighborhood and have lots of pictures with the landscape and sunsets in all colors in my archive. As my header image suggests, part of the chapter will therefore take place in Chestnut Ridge. In addition to Tusnelda and Martin's riding challenges, it is especially the many beautiful prospects that fill this chapter. If it sounds boring, I can promise that another character has some challenges that…

It's been raining most of this summer, but I won't complain. Elsewhere on the globe, everything is on fire. A saying goes – There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. I think this still applies in my country. Although the rain might make one dream of going somewhere else, I have enjoyed my summer in Denmark. I have read very little Simlit and written even less. The last few days I've been thinking a lot about how to get back on track. For me, sims means primarily play, reflection and creative expression. Therefore, please do not take this spinoff as anything more than a bit of…

In this chapter we will visit most of the characters of the story. It will be a chapter where I mainly want to create celebration and joy for my characters. I will reveal later why it is important to me today. Of course, life consists of more than partying, so it’s not just a happy inebriation. Well, I’m rambling. So let’s get started with the story.

In this chapter, some bears are awakened from their hibernation. When the bears appear relaxed and soft like teddy bears, you get the urge to let yourself be engulfed by their soft fur and large bear paws. A bear can be gentle and caring when looking after its cubs, but it also contains great passion and gigantic powers. One must therefore always be careful not to arouse the bear’s anger.

For some reason my game has chosen to eradicate all forms of gender diversity. It’s not a conscious decision, but when great passion arises between my Sims I have chosen not to go against it….maybe except for Rasmus and Blue. Evidently, I am not as innocent as I believe. I have therefore chosen to import some sims from my previous games into Tusnelda’s world. It is not my intention for them to have a role in the story, but I certainly hope to meet them in the neighborhoods.

With the title of the chapter, I am trying to refer to an overarching theme in more than one sense. A female touch that creates change. For some, the changes become difficult to handle, for others the start of unexpected opportunities. No one will be left completely untouched and for some it will be life-changing.

In today’s chapter, we are reunited with several of the story’s characters, in addition to the cats and a single dog. Don’t expect any drama, although there are probably always some embers simmering under the surface. Rasmus has a plan and he says goodbye to an inflamed past for the last time. Tusnelda tries to make a somewhat special deal with another of the characters in the story. Marcus tries to show he can be romantic and he must once again realize that open non-committal relationships are no longer his style. The biggest news in this chapter is probably that Andy has become an infant and that his father and…

It seems that the next chapter is once again long overdue. I’ve been playing quite a bit with the new Growing Together expansion pack. In particular, the infant Andy has led me astray…. He is adorable.While I ponder whether and how to incorporate all the many pictures from the last weeks playthrough into the story, I take a short break. Infants can be quite demanding for the sims player and the tired parents 😅 I wish everyone a nice Easter holidays 🐥🐣

This chapter had its title beforehand and then it occurred to me the chapter also deals with a lot of camera lenses. It made the word Objective pop up in my head. Objective is a word that refers to a camera’s lens, but it is also a word that refers to a clarifying overview that can then lead to a well-considered action. I apologize if the chapter seems a bit messy. Some threads are left unfinished while others happily tie a knot. It is unpredictable where in life a thread becomes decisively important. Not everything is as it first seems. Much depends on the perspective of the people involved. In…

Things are going well for Rasmus. Really good. Tusnelda really wishes him all the best, but there is something in all the changes happening in Rasmus' life that disturbs her. Trix once again shows his character as her ever-faithful friend. Be prepared for a chapter with lots of cat spam and emotional turmoil bubbling under the surface.
