Wow! fantastic Evolution meets highlander kind of story loving it!

Nice! How do you get the sims headless?

Thanx y'all!  I'm really excited about this, and I've got so much planned that I really hope you all will enjoy.

As far as headless sims go, do you really want me to give away all my secrets?  Ah ... I guess I will.  There is a headless genetics skintone at MTS2.  I'm thinking it's made by Bink13y (I think that's the name).  Just do a search for headless and you should find it.  And then for the bodyless, if you use the cheat "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" in CAS and then press "Shift N" it will unlock the NPC clothing.  Within this group is invisible clothes, so you just have a floating head.  Then it's all a matter of animating the sims and moving them around.

hmm I just realized you never showed her feeding.  Just wondering with her hatred for the vampires how she would select her victim?  I know she drugs them but I wonder who would she pick or target.

wow I loved this please continue :)

Wow, great story. Absolutely loved the pics. The fighting scenes look awesome! I'd love to see more of your story.

Not quite sure about. Disturbing scenes. I am not sure. BTW, On a scale of 1-5, I would have to say 2. I am not sure about it. But it would be a 2.

KatrinaandTiff, in all fairness, I did warn all readers about the graphic violence in the very first post, so if that's what bothers you, I'm not sure why you continued reading.  And quite honestly, I wasn't looking for a rating.

vickylougrl, towards the very end of Part 1, you'll see how Caitlin feeds.  Well, you won't see it because I didn't picture it, but you'll at least be able to read about.  The drugging of her victims happened way back around the first few decades that she was turned.

Everyone else, thank y'all, I will be continuing at least through Part 4, I have that storyline worked out up until then.

ahh cool can't wait to read more!  I love horror I can see why some would be disturbed by a dark story I personally love them!  I'm loving the pictures they are very well done.  As you can see by my avie I like my horror creepy not cute and fuzzy if it doesn't scare or disturb you then it's not horror imho.

Dude! Syn! You outdid yourself here, as always your storytelling is fantastic and I'm jealous of your picture taking!

Can't wait for more, Syn. This is fantastic!!

Wow, great story - please update soon!!

Absolutely amazing work!

Sorry for the delay, Part 2 is finally posted, please enjoy!

~ Syn

Wow, this is a fantastic story. Who cares if a poster rated the story as a 2. I am looking forward to the next update and bookmarking this for my future reading ;)

Glad to see another BloodRayne fan out here in the crowd. :)

Snort!  Ok, I just fixed the average with my 5!

That poster who rated this 2 has Selective Reading Disorder ;) This is great, keep up the good work :thumbup:

Just out of interest, how far did you get in the contest? I stopped watching after I got kicked out.

lol, I honestly don't care about the ratings, I just wanted to share the story.

Sarah, Caitlin made it all the way to the end to be crowned Miss Midnight.  I judged in the last one, and will be judging the next one as well.  That's kind of why I wanted to do this story as sort of a lead-in to the contest.

Ooh, right! Belated congrats then :D I've given up with that series, all my vampires are too nice :angel: Though I might be able to squeeze a story out of Emily, provided teen vamps are allowed, that is.

Hell hath no fury as a woman cheated out of seeing her last sunset and mortal life, followed by watching the premature death and burial of her orphaned baby... only to face ambivalence, years later, about embracing a mortality and a shot at love, and to letting it pass her by. I love ambivalence in characters. Makes them so interesting.

At least now Caitlin has a shot in having a friend and vampire partner of the night... her late lover's daughter Sydney Elisabeth.
Hmmmm. I wonder what she'll decide?

Synaptic, I enjoyed your fine writing ability. Your photos and the expressions you captured were wonderful. Very nice!

WOW!  Such a detailed critique.  Thanx Vita4all, I really appreciate the feedback, it means a lot.

~ Syn

I'm finally caught up I'm enjoying this very much the only thing that would make it better would be for it to be in a movie!

Wicked awesome sweetie keep up great work love the story Waahhhh!!

Good looking vampire-killing vampires originally from 1800's Southern United States wins the story section on originality.

Your story is so unbelievably good that i feel like i will explode. Iv'e read so many bad stories in thesims2.com that yours is so refreshing. If i could rate it 5 stars, I'd rate it 10 stars!!!

LMAO!  Thanx y'all!  Being as I'm a southern boy, SecretAgentZero, most of my characters will typically be from this region.

Just an update, both of my jobs have been sort of hectic lately, plus I've been judging contests too, so that's kind of suspended things just a bit.  I have the storyline worked out for Part 3, I just have to write it and then of'course take the pics.  I'm about 1/4 of the ways done with the pics probably.  Just wanted to let y'all know that I haven't forgotten about "Midnight."

~ Syn

The South is awesome.
Can't wait for updates. :D

I'm looking forward to the next update. Take your time. The story just get better and better :)

Wow!  I mean, really, what other word could describe this fabulous piece of art?  From beginning to end, you offer a gripping story, fresh and original, with characters so unbelievably real I could almost reach out and touch them.  And if all that were not enough, you also serve up fantastic pictures - my mind is reeling with some of these shots, and I may have to pick your brain sometime and see how you got them. ;)  Beautifully done.  Great suspense.  Sydney is very beautiful by the way.  Where did you find her hair?  Please keep up the spectacular work!

Thanx!  I'm glad so many people are enjoying it!

Sydney and Caitlin's hair are donation hair from Rose (http://www.rosesims2.net/).  Syd's is 0076 and Caitlin's is 0068.

Ah, thanks.

WOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!

I´m in love with this story now! this is so cool, your photos and settings are all fantastic and your plot is thrilling!! excellent!! congratulations....now I´m following it. ;)

Absolutely awesome pictures

awsome story! I do have one question. In the morgue scene how did you get the sims on the table to lay still like that and where can i get there skintone!!

This is so amazing! i seriously cried when reading parts of it... I just about never cry. This is one of the most amazing, fantastic, best things i have read in a long time! Impeccable job!

Wow, this really is amazing! If you haven't already, I wonder if you might consider doing a tutorial on your picture taking techniques and any other useful info, on hacks, tools you might have used to capture some of the poses and effects in your work? It'd certainly be enlightening to those of us who would like to make stories but know very little of how to do them using Sims 2.

Thanx everyone, I promise I haven't forgotten about this story, life just interrupted.

AndrewM619, a lot of the stuff I learned was basically on my own just messing around with different stuff.  Unfortunately, there's a lot of stuff I do in the pictures, that even I'm like, "How'd I do that?" because I honestly don't remember which tool helped me get this pose or that pose, etc.  But there's a lot of helpful tools and information in the following links:

Hope these help you get started.

how could you take these photos?how could u catch the poses?

i loved the story...congratulations..

edit: ohh i did not see ur message***nevermind that (:

No probs darkred_cactus, HERE'S (http://www.insimenator.org/showpost.php?p=992931&postcount=9) the post where I detail how to get the decapitated sims.  And the other shot in the hospital is using a combination of two animations, one is the crazy lip flap animation and the other is the crying animation.  I learned how to overlap the animations HERE (http://www.jd-movies.com/overlay.html).

I totaly love your story, and how you maneged to do this all stuff

Wow. that beautiful history. is cool.
even your pictures are really beautiful.

manu

I did take another read at it. I would actually say it is no longer as bad as I thought. I really loved it. Can't wait to read more!

Katrina:)

Ooo. Now here's a tragic little drama. With a hot vampire chick in the lead!
Pretty cool and a great narrative style. Nice little cliffhanger to stop on, too.

fantastic work¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

This is amazing, you are truely talented, this is by far one of the best story's I've read recently :)

Your pictures are also fantastic, its inspired me to have ago too! working on the plot now, though it wont be as good as this.

Congratulations :)

I read the entire story so far, and it is great. As a devoted reader of Anne Rice, you are as close as they come to being an original author with the vampire theme.
I hope you post another chapter very soon.

Wow.  I've totally neglected this lately and for that I deeply apologize.  I'm very excited to see a resurgence of posts on it again.  As soon as I have some time available I will do what I can to get the next chapter wrapped up.

Thank you for your continued interest in this story.

I can't believe I only just found this now. I love vampire stories *Buffy fan*. But I'm more impressed with the pictures. The fighting scenes are pretty amazing, all the poses must have taken ages. There are so many great stories on here. I wish I had the time and dedication (and most likely talent) to make one too but I'll just have to be happpy with reading the excellent stories on here. Not that I'm complaing. Can't wait for the next update!
