An urban fantasy story set in the worlds of The Sims 4.

Hello & welcome to Winter Echo, my Felix & Felicia AU!  

This is a completed urban fantasy story I created between June 2020 and September 2021. It was written as an alternate universe fanfiction of my friend @whyhellosims‘ Aldrich Legacy story, and stars her main characters, Felix & Felicia Aldrich. Creating Winter Echo was a really fun experience, and helped me improve my writing, worldbuilding, and visual storytelling skills immensely (skills which I’m finding incredibly valuable in my professional life).

Winter Echo was originally intended to be a short series of gameplay posts (a play through of Evergreen Harbor) but it turned into a long and complex tale of magic and alternate universes that people seemed to really enjoy. I’m no longer posting here, but I really loved creating this story, so I’ve left this blog up as an archive for myself and any future readers.

You can also find older posts of my original legacy story, Dynastia, here. Thankyou so much to everyone who has read and enjoyed my stories. I really appreciate all the kind, creative, and talented friends I met here so much.💗💗💗

You can read through the entirety of Winter Echo by clicking on the next links at the bottom of each post from this one. You can find an index of all my worldbuilding for the story here. ✨

Hey frens, I’ve been absent again this week because it’s the first week back of term 2 and once again I’m swamped with tafe work 😅 I’ve mostly been working on models for my end of year showreel (had to do a presentation on it yesterday) for which I’m building an exotic fantasy desert city. This model is the central building in the city, an observatory. The model is far from finished but I’ve been experimenting with some textures - these aren’t the final textures, but I’m kinda happy with some of them so far! 😊

The first half of my week is always busy during term time but I’m hoping to get some time to catch up on posts and play around in Dynastia over the weekend. 😊 Thanks for all the lovely comments on my posts lately, I know I haven’t been replying much for a while but I always love hearing what you guys think about my story! 🥰

It’s been a while since I brought you a new build! I decided to take a little break from Dynastia to build this residential lot, in an unusual split level type design that I’ve been thinking about for a while. The style is a mix of Scandi and boho, and the kind of place I might want to live in if I was super rich, lol 😆 Once again I’m building on the Affluista Mansion lot in Oasis Springs, which seems to be becoming my favourite lot for residential builds 😁

  • Lot Type: Residential
  • Size: 50x50
  • §184,338
  • 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms
  • Room to expand in the empty attic and basement
  • 2 spacious offices
  • Large enclosed chicken coop
  • Oasis-style outdoor entertaining area and pond

This build is cc-free so you can find it on the gallery 😊 My id is jeskittie 💗

Hi! love your story and the characters you’ve brought to life! I am curious how have you kept interest for one save file for so long?

Is there any tips you’d give people trying to get back into storytelling to make that process of sticking with one save, easier?

Thank you! Have a lovely day ❤️

Hey, thankyou so much lovely! I'm so glad you're enjoying my story and characters! 😊🥰

Dynastia is actually the first save file I started when I got TS4. My original sim Tessa was a simself character and it started with pretty much straight gameplay with a loose story attached, but as Tessa met other sims, the story aspect started to come through more and more.
