orikesWarning: Sim Stuff Ahead
So, I got 4.7 out last night. Exhausted myself doing it, but I was so close to finishing that I couldn't stop. Especially since I knew I'd get little computer time today.
(Dad's in town, so I offered to take him to the movies today. We went to see the Incredibl Hulk. I liked it quite a bit. I think I favor Iron Man a little more, but it was still pretty darn good.)
I'm really anxious to see reactions to this one. The whole storyline had been pretty much planned from the moment Ian threw me a want to get engaged to Lisa. It feels like it took forever to get to the point where I could tell that story. I feel like I neglected Ian in some of the previous updates, partially because I was too afraid of giving some of this storyline away.
I really didn't want to make Lisa out to be a complete bitch. I wanted to show her side of the story as well, beyond the whole 'heartless romance sim' aspect. There was more to it than that. I think it came through pretty well for her.
For Ian, I hope I got across what I wanted to about his character. About why he was so 'emo'. Most of the responses I've gotten so far have focused on the shock of what happened to him at the end, and I guess that's to be expected. I'm more curious about what people thought about HIM, not the way he died.
The next update is probably not going to be out until mid to late July at this point. I want to finish up the BC if at all possible and I've got a trip coming up next week that will probably get in the way. For the next update there are a TON of tricky, plotty scenes that need to be shot still, so, it's going to take a while.

Date: 2008-06-18 11:44 pm (UTC)I think you nailed this update really well, and I think it's the best one yet. It really changed the way I view Ian and Lisa (and Romance Sims in general, for that matter). In previous updates, Lisa seemed like a dirty little cheater, but now, I can see that she didn't want to hurt Ian's feelings. But at the same time, she just couldn't control herself any longer. I have to say though, that it was a bit crazy that the day of her wedding was the day she decided to get a man in her bed.
But now, I see that Ian wanted more than love from Lisa, and a family from her. He wanted to be perfect, just like Miranda and Elijah, but Lisa couldn't provide it for him, and somehow, he kind of knew that Lisa didn't want it, but he dragged her along, because the idea of her made him look happy.
And Ophelia, well, I think that she's really going to get a wake up call. Firstly, she's going to regret that moment of romance she had with Robi, because if she had picked up the phone, several things could've been avoided. Second, she's going to realize how dangerous her mother is, and that by her mother hating the Legacina bloodline, she hates the blood that flows through Ophelia. And I think with that, Ophelia is going to come to her senses and join the Legacinas.
By the way, where do you get the Shelby's face layout for toddlers, children, teens and elders? You said before that her face may explode when she becomes a YA, but she looks like Shelby a bit.
