#it's highly unrealistic that i'll ever get to the point where i can start rewriting gen 4's kids storylines but ok ron keep dreaming

[nikatyler]

Here’s a tiny sneak peek at what I’ve recoloured recently. I’m not sure when I’ll upload these because I still need to take preview pictures for them and I don’t have time for that tonight. And tomorrow in the afternoon, I’m going back to Prague. Even though taking preview pictures doesn’t take much time, I’m kinda uncomfortable playing the game with my roommate around. And anyway, I’m mostly doing school stuff when I’m at my dorm so...yeah. But I’d love to post it someday soon of course.

Unrelated but I’ll also hopefully get around posting all the asks soon. Some are drafted and ready to be posted, some are still in my inbox but I will get to them. I said character development is the one thing that will help me survive this semester and I meant it haha, I wouldn’t just throw it away. I hardly ever delete asks, actually, so if I don’t reply to you, tumblr ate it or I’m planning on answering soon :)

#ts4 #sims 4 #also most of these sims are from my legacies #both current and discontinued #and then three sims are...well...from an au of sorts? #it's not really an au actually #you know...if i wanted to continue golden days with gen 4's kids #that means i could rewrite carrie lynn's storyline #and that means i could get her with priscilla #i did them dirty in the legacy #anyway i think you can see where i'm going with this #lol i didn't want to tell you who these three mysterious sims are but here you go #i couldn't keep it to myself #it's highly unrealistic that i'll ever get to the point where i can start rewriting gen 4's kids storylines but ok ron keep dreaming #dreams are nice #nothing wrong with them

I've been seeing some debate about these two things for a while now.

1. They people believe that the writers should/would change the plot of the season half way through if some people aren't really liking what's going on. That ever made sense to me for two reason. One, they already have the plot for the season planned out before they start filming. And often at times they have almost half or half(exactly) of the episodes written out before they start filming. Depending on how much time they have to write or how fast they write. Two, it would make no sense to change the plot half way through because that would make the first half of the season redundant and make no sense at all.

2. That the writers and show runners should just give the fans what they want. Me, myself is a firm believer in letting them tell the story they're going to tell. Even if at times I don't really like what's going on, I know I'll like the rest of it. I honestly believe they shouldn't give in to what the fans want. Especially if it's going to change the story they want to tell. Even more so depending on how the fans go about it, some can be really nice about it while others not so much. Especially with this fandom. I heard that some of them sent death threats to Bretts family(I don't know if that's true but here's hoping that it's not. Because that's going million miles over the line) and who knows what else. But over all I don't think that's something writers and show runners should just give into or even tolerate. Because that's just wrong on so many levels and I feel like if they give into that type of behavior that's like telling them if we're mean enough and nasty enough we'll get what we want.

P.S sorry to rant like this. But I feel like you would understand where I'm coming from with this. Out of all the people I've seen on here.

Yeah, that makes no sense to me either. Exactly, they already have the season planned out. And because of last year and the long hiatus, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had even more scripts completed than usual by the time they got to filming the real start of season 3. And by the time the episodes air and they see the way the fans react to it, they’re already several episodes ahead anyway, it’s already done. They can’t just alter everything, especially when they’re further ahead, plus the plot changes direction all the time. So what fans might be upset about with a new episode, it could be long over in whatever episode they’re filming at the time. And yes, they’re not just gonna change things halfway through if it wouldn’t make sense with the first half of the season. I think in some cases, they do alter things and their plans for the season can change. Like I had heard that when Chris Wood agreed to come back, they had to alter some things for the Kai episodes. And we know they probably had other plans for characters like Maya, Jade, etc. originally, and things changed. And idk how much changed, but I would still think that their overall plans for the season and how it would end stayed basically the same? And they’d still know in advance to some degree so they could make the changes they needed to, but I’d imagine it would be incredibly difficult to quickly change things based off of fan reactions. It’s pretty unrealistic to expect them to do something like that, unless they’re deeply concerned about pleasing those fans and are willing to put that much effort into rewriting everything (highly unlikely).

And I also believe they should tell the story they want to tell, not just give the fans what they want. I mean, I think we’ve all expressed what we want to see happen in the show at times. And I don’t see anything wrong with the writers taking some fans’ ideas into consideration and possibly putting them into the show IF it makes sense and fits for the story and stays true to the characters. But the things that so many of these fans want would not make sense for the story or the characters at all, and does not fit with where the show seems to be going and the story the writers want to tell. It would be fanservice and nothing more, and would happen at the expense of the story and the characters. And yes, they should not try to please those fans after how they’ve gone about trying to get what they want. I heard the same thing about Brett as well, and idk if it’s true either, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. That wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened over a ship, unfortunately (or so I’ve heard, anyway). So it’s really awful. And I don’t think they should put up with that kind of behavior either. I completely agree, if they gave those fans what they want, it would just teach them that they can get what they want by treating people horribly, that they’ll be rewarded for it. And I hope they’d never do that. It doesn’t seem like they will at this point, so I hope it stays that way.

And it’s fine! I do understand! It’s frustrating to see the way people expect fanservice with Legacies. Hopefully the writers will stick with what they’ve been doing and not give in to that.
