Author’s Note


Well, this is another prime example of the game throwing you suprises. :)

I hadn’t really planned on doing an update so soon, but I started playing last night, and some interesting twists took place. I started Kaylee on her career in the Music path (thought that would be fitting – her lifetime wish to perfect her Guitar and Painting skills, so I figured I might as well get paid for it.) And I moved Aldo in, as well. (Turns out his LTW is to be a Master Gardener – who knew?)

I was planning on having Katrin sort of reconnect with Leighton, she kept getting wishes to see him and I figured I might as well give it a shot and see where it went. But then she had to work one night, and I figured I’d get them together the next day. Only it turned out he had died…

I had the funeral at the Grey residence (I don’t know if I’ve got a glitch or what – but I can only throw birthday parties and funerals at my house; or at least it only lets me have Destination Parties anywhere that I tried to have them.) And I could have sworn I took more screenshots than I ended up with, but I guess not… So I sort of had to make due with what I had.

Anyway, poor Kat. She’s getting on in years (her age bar is pretty much filled so it’s really just a matter of time, I think. It just didn’t work out for her to find true love, I guess. (Another example of things working out completely different than I had thought hey would.) I don’t think she had a bad life, though, so far. And she’s still got some fire left in her engine, so to speak – so who knows?

Oh, and about the title for this entry – just say it out loud a couple times fast and hopefully it’ll start to make sense… :)

    Wow. Kaylee is gorgeous! If she has kids with Aldo i’m sure that they will be gorgeous too.
    I kind of feel bad for Katrin, but i also don’t think she had a bad life. She got to where she wanted in her career, she raised her daughter alone, and she’s living pretty comfortably.

    D’aww.
    Your writting was excellent, as usual:P

    I loved the pun in the title and the musical reference in the previous title.

    Poor Kaitrin, I thought she’d have more time with Leighton, too. But that’s the game for you. I think it makes for fascinating story twists.

    Poor Kaitrin, hopefully she will live long enough to see her first grandchild but it looks a little grim. I do hope it works out for Kaylee and Aldo.

    Awww, I’m so sorry Katrin didn’t get to reconnect with Leighton. The pun in the title is very clever. I love your story! I do think that Kat has had a fullfilling life though, she’s definately changed from the beginning of the story. It’s so interesting to see the changes that favorite characters go through.
