Sweeter Than Sin – Act 1 Chapter 4 Part 2

The business district of San Myshuno had a certain prestige that no other district could replicate. It could be the sprawling business centers that towered over all of the other San Myshuno buildings. Or even the fresh leather shoes and briefcases the businessmen carried. One could also contribute it to the decadent perfumes that wafted off the women. But even with all the class in the world couldn’t stop Vivienne Lee from releasing her unfiltered thoughts.

“They’re not fucking.”

Sweeter Than Sin – Act 1 Chapter 4 Part 1

Nicky adjusted the mannequin’s outfit for the third time that morning. They made sure that each mannequin was perfect and their store was spotless. Sure, they could have requested an assistant or one of the shop girls to clean up, but no one could make it perfect like Nicky could.

I’m back, major Sweeter Than Sin changes

Hello all ♡

Welcome back to ze blog. In honor of Wicked releasing in theaters this week, here’s a wicked themed photoshoot of the leading (and supporting) ladies of Sweeter Than Sin.

I actually have a million reasons why I took a break but honestly it doesn’t matter now. Hopefully I’m able to get back into regularly posting again.

There are two changes that I want to take for Sweeter Than Sin

For one, I want to change the names of two characters. Let’s start with this cutie:

    TBH, the name Evelyn has never resonated with me for her. It makes me think of basketball wives. Before settling on Evelyn, her name was yoyo-ing between Nadia and Nadine. So here’s her new name…. drumroll pls….

    E M I L E N E S A T O

    I wanted to keep it similar to Evelyn to not confuse readers (and myself). Also, I think Emi is a cute name and popular for Japanese girls. Also, I wanted to give her a name similar to Marlene’s since Ken JR has Ken’s name. Trust me, it’s important for the story.

    The second character that is renamed is….

    Now that we have Emilene, I thought Eliana’s name was too similar. And since she’s not a main character like Emi is, I figured changing her name too wouldn’t hurt. Also, I wanted a more mature name since this character is a woman in her 50s. So her new name is…..

    C A R M E N O L I V A R E S

    Unlike Emi’s new name, there’s no super connection to her new name. I just like the name Carmen. It sounds like a woman who doesn’t play.

    I started retagging and rewriting Emi’s chapters with her new name but I have yet to do Carmen’s.

    Before we proceed, here’s some pictures.

    The second thing that I want to address is the plot. We’re not far into the story so it won’t change anything that has happened so far but I do want to change the trajectory. This means there might be some slight personality changes to the characters. Honestly, it probably won’t be noticed. I don’t want to say whose destiny will be changed yet but once I wrap this story up, I’ll reveal it!

    Also, just a reminder we do have a trigger warning page as this story plans to explore some pretty dark topics and themes.

    Last thing, I’ve decided to move everything to a new save file. I started doing this before my break but I was still playing in the old save file to get content out but wow my save is corrupt. Of course that’ll take some time but not 3+ months.

    Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the upcoming holidays. Thank you for sticking by me and reading my story. Or, thank you for just looking at the pretty pictures.

    Sweeter Than Sin in Real Life

    There’s a great blog on tumblr called Simblr Questions of the Day which posts… simblr questions of the day lol This question had me thinking and researching.

    📩 Simblr question of the day: Your story gets a TV show. Who is playing your OCs?

    For Ken Sato I would cast John Cho or Daniel Dae Kim.

    For our matriarch, Marlene Sato, we are casting Sanaa Lathan or Cassandra Freeman.

    KJ will be played by Chance Perdomo or Justin Chu Cary.

    Baby Sato, Evelyn could be played by Lex Scott Davis or Sydney Park.

    And incoming Sato, Natalia could be played by Amelie Zilber or Ryan Whitney.

    I’m definitely no casting director but I think the actors chosen resemble my sims so well! Any picks?

    New Series…Sorta

    Hey guys. Happy Hump Day.

    First of all, thank you for following along with my story. Even though I’m only three chapters in, I feel like I’ve written an encyclopedia’s worth of words LOL. If you’re not aware, I post this story to my tumblr as well but tbh I’m very inconsistent with posting. I’ve been considering new ways to show my story and I think I’ve figured it out – YouTube! The Youtube series will be the same story but more of a summary format with all of the pictures from this blog. I’ve started listening to more podcasts and this is the closest I can get to that format.

    If you’re interested, the first video is here. Feedback is appreciated (and encouraged!)

    I haven’t figured out the pacing of the YouTube videos yet but I have no intention on slowing down on posting due this “new” series! Chapter 4 is already in the works BUT since the last update, my save file won’t load so I might have to create a whole new save file. Hopefully I can figure out the issue before it comes to that!

    To celebrate my new series, I think I want to do a pack giveaway for the next new pack so keep an eye out for that post as well.

    Hope you enjoyed the random photos I included of Evelyn and Cheyenne throughout the post. I saw the dresses on DHM and wanted to see the girls in them but I knew that the photos won’t fit into the story so I’m sharing them here lol. Here’s also a photo of my simself meeting my own creations. Of course Chey blows me off while Ev is being a sweetheart lol!

    Chapter 3 Outtakes

    “There’s only one Sato left” Maverick said. “The forgotten one.”

    “Maverick.” Bianca warned.

    “Please. Don’t act like you didn’t notice.” Maverick snickered. Bianca did notice a certain misplacement of Emilene’s role in the family opposed to Ken’s but it wasn’t her place to judge. That’s not why she was here. She was here to solve a case and Emilene’s disconnection from the Sato family could prove to be a vantage point for the investigators.

    “It smells like fast food in here.” KJ stated as he made his way in the hotel room.

    Bianca glanced quickly eyed down Ken Jr. He had disheveled hair and his clothes looked like he thrown them on after picking them up off his bedroom floor. And of course, the man who complained about the smell of grease, drowned himself in a heavy cologne. Not only was Ken late, he was annoying.

    “Knock Knock!” Bianca and Maverick eyed each other at the sound of the voice behind the door. “I know. Not who you’re expecting, but my fiancé asked me to go in early as he had something in the office to complete last minute.” Natalia explained as she made her way in the hotel room.

    She quickly took off her winter wear as she made herself comfortable in the space across from the couple.
