For a second, I freaked out thinking it was ending now. But then I read the entry. It's nice to see that you don't have to stress about it anymore. I really love this story and it's going to be a shame to see it end, but I do love happy endings too. ^^ Congrats.

Heheh. I couldn't resist the dramatic title.

It's going to be much easier to get where I'm going when I know where that is. I stil have some details to work out, but most of them are pretty minor and can happen as I go, with the gameplay.

Don't worry about the story ending any time soon. I'd say it's probably about halfway finished, if I write it all out as planned. Maybe a little more, if I end up shortening parts.

Thank you. I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far.

^_^ Thanks.

Me too. I'm a sucker for them, though I also love devastatingly sad endings too. The S,HWC folks got lucky this time. (Well, most of them did. )

Kinda threw me for a loop, reading that title - but phew! Not too immediately. I've been loving this series, so it feels good to hear there's going to be more for a while. :D And yay! A tiny spoiler! :D

Heheh. Not immediately at all, trust me. I still have a lot of material to get through, but it will be a little less daunting, now that I can keep my eye on the prize.

Of course, my plans have changed before, but this ending just seems right, somehow.

It is a bit of a spoiler, though not much. It's possible to have a happy, hopeful ending in the wake of a serious tragedy, so it doesn't really give all that much away (I hope).

LOL! For a moment I thought you were dropping the story due to neighborhood implosion or something similar. Don't scare me like that! :P

It's awesome that you have everything figured out now :). I enjoy trying to come up with plot lines for my stories, but have a hard time letting them go, so kudos to you for being able to "land" and tie all of them.

Congrats ^_^

Congrats on figuring out the ending for your story. Considering the amount of characters and plotlines you have going on, it is not an easy feat, yet you've nailed it. Enjoy developing the rest of it, as much as your readers will also enjoy reading it.

I really hope that never happens. I still back up regularly, like a good little simmer, so I will have options if it ever comes to that. I have to remember to extract all my sims too. There are newer in-game borns that need to be uploaded for safety.

I guess updating my sim download page is my next big chore. I should also do a master list for downloads and resource post. One of these days...

Well, I'll leave the final judgement on whether I've actually nailed it to the readers, but it works and makes sense for me, so I'm happy with that. I really don't think it leaves too many loose threads, which surprises me. I was excited when it came together. (And I was making summaries of the plot arcs for each individual character when it came to me.)

I hope people will continue to enjoy it. I know things are bound to die down as the Sims 2 fandom continues to wane, but I'm happy to hear that people plan to continue to follow it. I'm certainly appreciative off all the supportive comments. ^_^
