¡Hola!
As the proud writer of the DOARS, I love my story and my characters. They're probably more dear to me than any of my other sims because I infuse so much of myself into them and their story.
So I know I love them, and I think there are a few people out there that do to. The key word is few- of course.
... and yet, I've got over 1,000 views!
You're surprised, too, aren't you?
I've seen other people do gifts or rewards or something whenever they hit a landmark number, and I think 1,000 is landmark enough for me.
So any ideas?
I'm thinking of a few, like:
1) A Day in the Life of Cycl0n3- he does a diary entry for one of the days- like maybe the day they got married or something, or when he wet himself, hahaha. Okay, I can't actually do that one, because I have no pics for that day for him, lol. But it was a good idea, huh?
2) A look into Lynn's childhood- though this wouldn't be anything like my childhood, we would get to meet her siblings and her dad, that would be nice right?
3) Cameos! Do you want your self-sims to join mine (Lynn) in DOARS? Could be fun, right?
Okay, I'm out of ideas! But, I'm really surprised that I got to 1,000 views and I want to find a nice way of saying thank you to everyone that is still reading DOARS. :) So for now I'll leave you with this cute picture of Raquel and Buddy.
I'd love to hear from Cyclone's perspective, but totally cameos! I love seeing my characters or simself in other games.
ReplyDeleteGood to know! Cameos for sure, then! I was kind of thinking about adding some people to the neighborhood anyways, so this'll work!
DeleteI've decided that adding sims regularly is the only way to get keep decent genetic diversity. I've set my immigration gauge super-high on StoryProgression, and when the notification looks high enough, I add another family made from sims downloaded from MTS. I have a lot of celebrity sims because they have the most interesting faces. :)
DeleteOoh celebrities! I don't really download sims too much, but I'm kind of a neighborhood hopper, so if the town starts losing genetic diversity, I usually just plop the family down into a new one! That's probably a bad habit, though... Maybe I'll try to keep the DOARS in SV as long as I can.... any celebrities that you'd recommend for population purposes?
DeleteI don't see that there's anything wrong with town hopping. I like to trace town families through multiple generations, but that's just my thing. I didn't start downloading sims until I was faced with populating my custom neighborhood from scratch. I needed 2-3x as many sims as I got from cross-pollination alone.
DeleteI could have just asked StoryProgression to produce families, but randomly-generated sims all start looking the same, and in particular I wanted the features from different races and ethnicities in the gene pool. What better way than to download sims modeled on real people who were that race or ethnicity? And then I just got into celebrity sims in general. A few sims in my town:

More than you need!
Yay! Great list! I'm thinking that when everyone starts getting old and grey in town I'll put some of these guys in! Thanks!
DeleteOooh! I'm totally going to add celebrities, too. I've never thought of that!
