I'm so incredible annoyed right now. I can't find good background music to write to. And I've rewritten 8.7 twice now...and it's still crap. I know exactly what I want to happen but the character interactions are all wrong. Not realistic.
Grr...my muse is on holiday.

Have someone be "kidnapped" or go on a long vacation?
Edit: Oops! Thought I was replying to the most recent post (about house being too full) but realized I was behind. Sorry! Disregard.

ok question. End of generation 4 there is the ghost toddler. Is that toddler a controllable ghost either due to Blasius being the father or her being resurected as the ghost then giving birth? Or did she really have the baby after she died, because I was 100% sure pregnant Sims couldn't die because I tried. Or will it all become clear to me as I read through gen 5?

Sorry about the delay, I've been out of town for the last couple weeks. Just got back online. According to the storyline, Dachi was pregnant when she died and gave birth to the "spirit" of her unborn child. According to the game, Dachi had sex with Hunter after she died. Gave birth to a ghost baby and then I lost interest in the baby so I sent it back to the netherworld. Dachi and Blasius aren't able to have children as ghosts. It's one of those rules I set for plot purposes. That's not to say that they don't want one.

So I wrote the next chapter, took all the pictures, and then discarded it. Although it fits the main storyline, I feel like I'm dragging Hoku too far out of character. She might be bitter about her upbringing and the injustices done to her, but at the end of the day she isn't rotten to the core. There's a very sweet girl beneath the stone-hard shield emotional shield.
I also know what happened to her mother Genesis. I know how Hoku will find out. At the same time, I don't know if she has developed enough to be able to handle it. I planned on her finding out this next chapter but I think it will have to wait.
Now to figure out what will happen next.

Also very interesting thoughts on Hoku - I like how she's a deep and real character.

She's completely un-photogenic and dull. I want to get out a chapter before Late Night comes out later this month. Lacking inspiration though.

Hoku's lack of an extreme personality is quite honestly what attracts me to her as an heiress. I love her chapters the most from your legacy, as there is so much going on with her history yet she remains rather staunch and removed from it all. Her lack of attachment to the world, at least in my eyes, figures wonderfully with her abandonment issues and upbringing. To me, she has more of a flat affect.
Keep her un-photogenic and dull if that's what she is. Let her deal with the changes slowly over time herself. I quite honestly don't think Hoku will ever be 'developed enough to handle it'. She's much more likely to handle it terribly.
