The Origins of Nyssa Styx 👽🛸

So, in my absence from Tumblr, I've been playing a lot of TS2 again. In my very first rotational playthrough two years ago, Dina Caliente gave birth to twin girls; one that looked exactly like Dina, and one that was a hybrid. I named them Daphne and Nyssa Goth. With the help of a mod in my game, Dina eventually rolled the want to give Nyssa up, but not Daphne. As much as this broke my heart, I felt it made perfect sense for Dina. She would want to get rid of the hybrid child that gave away her cover, but keep the one that would help her hold onto the Goth fortune after Mortimer passed away. So, I allowed Nyssa to be put up for adoption in my game and this formed the storyline that I currently play with her.

Last year, I wanted to tell Nyssa's origins through the use of the Globetrotter challenge, in an attempt to step her up to be the founder of the Live for Something challenge, but very quickly got distracted with real life and other things. I have a very bad habit of not wanting to finish anything once the hyperfixation wears off, and given that the save file became corrupted after one of the updates, I didn't feel the need to revisit her story until a few days ago.

You see, I always planned for Nyssa's story to be a side component to a much larger retailing of the Caliente story in TS4. I had an overarching name for the series planned out and everything and I simply got discouraged. I've always enjoyed the Caliente family more than any other TS2 family simply because of the lore around them. My natural fascination for the stars and aliens is probably the core reasoning for that, but they also simply have one of the best storylines ever in any sims game.

The problem is, there is a still a few kinks I need to work out and considering I'm not the best when it comes to planning out a story, (I tend to just "go with the flow" until I inevitably hit a wall and give up), I decided to put Nyssa and the rest of the extended Caliente family on the backburner. That was until I decided I wanted to try and do an Uberhood in TS2 and everything started coming back. I'm grateful, because the muse for the original story has been reborn, but I still think it's going to take me some time to set everything up.

I did, however, have a whole lot of fun playing the Globetrotter challenge, and after seeing so many other people playing it on my dash in the few days I've been back lurking, I'm going to be reattempting the challenge once again with a different sim. It will give me something to do in the game to keep me from getting burned out setting up Nyssa's new save file.

I know that was really long winded and if you read that whole thing, I appreciate you, but I'm so excited to be back and I can't wait to tell the story I've been wanting to tell for years but never had the courage too.

#I hope they feel like Italian today
