If you've read more than one of my works, you'll probably have noticed that several characters and settings have shown up or been referenced in more than one story. Everything's interconnected, so let me lay down the basics...
Just Starting Out begins a few years before any other work does.
Dreams of Fame begins around the time Cassandra moves to Newcrest in Just Starting Out.
Courage & Resolve begins during Part 1.13 of Dreams of Fame.
Summertime Haze starts just after Zoe's made it big in Dreams of Fame.
Mai Legacy occurs just after the founders of Just Starting Out have passed on.
Lies and Deceit begins a few years after the presidential race Cassandra and Felix are involved in.
Reborn from the Ash begins at around the time as the end of the first generation of Mai Legacy.
Or, to put it simply;
Just Starting Out occurs first
Followed by Dreams of Fame
Next comes Courage & Resolve
Summertime Haze
Then Mai Legacy
Lies and Deceit
and, finally, Reborn from the Ash
Areas
Also related to the timeline would be the location of the areas within the Sims 4. In this world, I compare the Sims 4 locations to real world locations. - Willow Creek is located in the area of Louisiana. - Oasis Springs and Strangerville would be the American Southwest. - Newcrest, I see as mid North America, located very near to Magnolia Promenade, Magnolia Promenade being sort of an offshoot of Newcrest. - Granite Falls is located somewhere in Northern Europe, Forgotten Hollow near, but nestled within another valley a few miles away. Glimmerbrook would also be near, closer to Granite Falls and Windenburg than Forgotten Hollow. - Windenburg is located somewhere in Eastern Europe, located a four hour boat ride away from San Myshuno, which is on the far western side of Asia. - Brindleton Bay would be located on the east coast of America, probably where Maine is now. - Selvadorada would be located on the west coast of South America, where Peru is. - Del Sol Valley would be located on the west of America, where California is. - Sulani would be located among the pacific islands. - Britechester would be located near England. - Evergreen Harbor would be located near Washington state.
