40 something Urban Simmer who re-emerged after over a decade away to adult, when simming became a hobby I could no longer indulge in. Once upon a time, I was a TS2 creator for one of the first urban sims forums in the community Real Sims / Real Sims Blvd.

Its been a while my HTDF family. This BC/Story is STILL very much happening. I want to again thank you all for the grace extended especially during the early days after the loss of my partner. The grief, loneliness and depression are very real and I struggle daily hence my lack of content or gameplay for the BC

So transparency moment and where we are with things. I have not played the game since early January. This last week I have had enough drive and desire to sit down and start editing the butt ton of pics i have had sitting in a folder. So far that has produced 3 chapters of content and I still have at least another 100 pics to sort through and make into story/post. Once I have all the existing photos edited organized and narrated as needed I will then open my game back up to start playing again. I fear if i were to start playing and still have all those pics to edit as well it would just be too overwhelming and I would procrastinate getting it done. I hope to have the last of the pics edited this upcoming week and be able to start playing by the weekend.

Releasing content: I have gone back and forth on this and I've landed at not releasing until I'm done playing out the BC. That's only because of how long I've been on hiatus. I feel i don't want to have starts and stops and life right now functions differently and school will be starting up again in a couple weeks so i don't want to be on a groove and then suddenly have to stop again. I think that has happened enough but I am happy to hear feedback.

Post style : so I have changed post style , though similar to what i was doing right before i went on hiatus its just a smidge different I'm using a 1080x1920 format below is a sample (yes this is pulled from my editing before i added the text). I would love some feed back if we like or not. I will, of course have transcripts in all post as well.

I'm sure I am forgetting something but I at least wanted to come on and update you all on whats going on and that YES we are still very much invested in the Holiday family and finding out WTAF is going on with Winter and who will her boo thang be.

As Always I am so appreciative of the support and grace you have all had with me and this saga of a BC.

Hugs and good vibes to you all
