Playing the Sims: On Pause

I hope everyone has not forgotten about the Sim Girl Legacy Challenge. I wanted to let you all know, I have not forgot. There are several reasons I have been sidetracked from this part of my blog, but they are all good reasons!

The first reason, and the biggest reason I have been busy, is I am preparing a live radio show, Sim Your Life, on MSPWaves radio, which is a Minnow Support Project through the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty Group on Steemit.

Sim Your Life will be a talk show/podcast where I will explain how you can Sim your life.

In my book, How-to Sim Your Life: A Guide to Winning the Game of Life, I compare many psychology theories with the Sim game. On Sim Your Life, I will go into more detail about the many ways we can understand our traits, aspirations, and life goals, so we can live our lives in a unique way.

Each of us has a unique life plan. Understanding our life plan, can help us live in a more efficient way, and we become more productive. The problem is that our societies believe we should all find a “Universal” way of living, and we are not all the same.

When you Sim your life, you make a unique life map that you will follow, and change throughout the Simming process. I will start my talk show by explaining the different traits we have, how you can decide the aspiration; that is your life force behind all your decisions, and then finally come close to determining your life goals.

On future podcasts, I hope to go further into how-to Sim your life, by describing certain aspects of each stage of life, how we can build strong relationships, and ways families, and careers are built. Skill building, goal setting, and communication are also big parts of the Sim game, and will be a focus of my Sim philosophy.

Each show will be a preview of a chapter in my book, and listeners will have a chance to call into the show on the PAL discord server.

If you would like to join us on the MSPWaves radio for my new show, Planned to be scheduled on Tuesday afternoons at 4:00-6:00 UTC- 12:00-2:00 EST, or any of the other radio show hosts; or if you want to be a talk show host here on Steemit, Follow this link MSPWaves Radio for more information.

The second reason I have been sidetracked from writing the Sim Girl legacy challenge is because my friend @snook found this very fun freewrite! They have been a life saver for trying to reach my goal of posting every day on Steemit.

Freewrite Prompt by @mariannewest has been a daily inspiration to writing each day, and I have become addicted to reading the #freewrite stories written in the comments.

If you need inspiration, or you would like to find a collection of freewrites to read, follow the #freewrite and start your five-minute story!

Here is the Introductory Post

The third reason that I have been sidetracked is because I have a Sims 4 glitch in which Victoria is not aging. @snook and I investigated this problem to find out that she may have been introduced to the nanny which makes it, so she will never age.

You can see how this can be problematic because she is the first in a legacy challenge. The husband I made for her, is now aging past her. And, because she is pregnant I can’t change it. I know I showed her in front of a birthday cake, but she never aged. I'm sorry, I thought I could fix it without confessing.

So next time I play the game, I hope that Victoria has a healthy baby, and then I can change her age. Her husband Jack will still be a few years older, but it will be okay. Or, I could just let her live forever.

What do you think?? I’ll leave it up to you!

Until next time,

Happy Gaming- Sim Girl
