STORY RECOMENDATION TIME! (again)
'Dossanina' by @holleyberry
This was the first Sims 2 story I stumbled across on tumblr.
This was the story that opened my eyes to TS2 stories on here.
This made me keep looking out for amazing stories I've found since.
I love this story so darn much!
You can read it here! Please do so!
It starts off in the present day with Don Lothario happily married to Cassandra Goth with children of their own. Life appears perfect for them but then Cass goes to the park and discovers another familiar looking child in with a woman she knows was linked to her husband.
Then it goes back to how Don was in college and the story follows Don from there. I would say Don is easily the main character in this series.
It made me look at Don's character differently. The actual TS2 makes Don look like a woohoo-machine and like he acted like he didn't care who he was hurting. This Don is different and I think he is the Don I admire the most. It shows the realistic side that Don was meeting girls, dating them and being atypical decent guy.
It shows how he's known Nina and Dina for years, and shows a time when Dina got married to Michael. It shows the almost toxic relationship between Cassandra and her mother, the beautifully famous Bella Goth. Cassandra is shown as painfully shy and unsure of herself. Nina is a typical romance sim who loves woohoo but isn't into marriage and long-term relationships. Dina is shown as a family sim, caring about Alexander and NOT the gold-digger she is set out in the game to be.
This is mostly set before the actual TS2 starts and I LOVE the backstory and buildup because it shows Don working hard in his career, his frustration at being moved to Pleasantview for his job and his wingman Goopy GilsCarbo.
It hilarious at times, it's emotional and it's STUNNING.
Please give it a read!
It inspired me to write my own version because I related to this one so much.
EDIT: I should admit here that I kinda copied how Don's condo looks in my story to how his Pleasantview condo in this story looks! I'm sorry I preferred it that way!
