Intentional Ink: A Sims Writers' Grant Retreat

Intentional Ink: A Sims Writers' Grant Retreat

Meet the crew, and here's all the technical details. I created a static page for it, so I wouldn't bombard you every time I update. I've included everything: the packs I own, the mods I am using, even the source for the house.

I'll be updating details for the Sims in the writers' retreat as I go along, and introducing you to them, but, for now, here's the main details; their names, portraits, and traits; and the most important thing...the house cat. I kid you not, I asked the game to randomly name the cat, and the first dice roll chose Queen Cupcake. It's meant to be.

Look at that perfect, fat, heterochromatic rag doll face. I love her. She is an entire mood.

Clara is trying to handwrite a gothic horror novel in her commonplace book, but Lila the chatterbox has Things to Say, and talked the entire time while Clara wrote. Good things Clara is a multitasker. Been in the house less than a couple of hours. Let the games begin.

My first videos, of the above and more, will be uploaded soon, and the character profiles linked from the Intentional Ink page will be completed. For now, you can read the rules, the background story, and see Clara's profile.

And yes, I am actually reading books. I am currently reading The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner (this edition) with a group on Reddit, and The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov (this translation) with a group on Telegram, and greatly enjoying both books and both book clubs. I'm listening to William Hurt read Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King, and this is a sublime experience. There have been a couple of points where Hurt broke character and giggled under his breath at something in the text, and it only enhances the book. It's been wonderful to relax to at the end of the day.
