Sorry and welcome back!

Just a note to say.. I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I had gotten myself a bit burned out on sims, and stuck in a very nasty writer's block loop. I would get the gameplay done, get the pictures .. sit down to write.. and despite having most of the plots planned.. I would have absolutely no idea what to write. Just.. no words came. After some (read: lots) of agonizing deliberation and some trust in a couple of tarot card reads that I had done, I decided a big break needed to be on order. So, I honestly should have mentioned that's what I was doing, but.. hindsight is 20/20 and all that jazz. That being said, I am hoping that I have given myself enough of a break, because this is me saying that I am going to attempt to spend the next couple of weekends trying to finish up some misc. chapters I have literally sitting with all their pictures and no words. After that, I have some catch-up to do on the Tangled Yarn story before I'm ready to start into an actual rotation/writing order.. which I'm still tweaking to try to fit in with the rest of my crazy schedule. Being that I keep adding in more streams during the week... I absolutely don't have much time for writing other than the weekends. Which is slightly unfortunate, but it ought to help me focus in on what I'm doing. I hope. Suffice it to say, if everything goes well, I should be back to posting story chapters this weekend..

Hopefully I will also be getting to work on updating my big challenges for the new Horses pack this weekend - which I am a big fan of. In fact, on that, I am also thinking of re-doing some of my older Timeline Adventure builds.... and then re-uploading them. But.. back to the Horse pack, it has reinvigorated my interest in Sims, and I think my extended break seems to be mostly over. If you're curious of what I've been doing while on break... I've been working on a lot of Planet Zoo, which has once again hooked my brain wholly. I have put MOST, if not all of my "freetime" into updating & adding to a massive Planet Zoo spreadsheet collection (which I will be sharing once I'm happy with it).

Aw, thanks. 🙂 I am trying to take care of myself. Somedays it's hard, though!

I am a huge fan of your NSB all packs challenge. I am still working my way through it lol, but look forward to your update on it to include all the new things that have come since. Take care of yourself <3

I have my NSB on my schedule to update next weekend. 🙂 So you shouldn't have too long to wait! I'm glad you like it, though - it still amazes me when people like my challenges. I mostly write them for myself, and publish them on the off chance anyone else might like them.

I am a 45 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and three young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I have also recently been accepted to the EA Creator Network, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
