Beneath The Ashes (Zombie Apocalypse Series) | Sims 4 Series (Reopened)
Project Overview
This story follows Mira and her younger brother, James, survivors who were trained by their parents in secret and believed the world above had been healed from the apocalypse.
But when their parents vanish on a supply run, Mira discovers the truth: the apocalypse never ended. Forced to lead her brother into a broken world crawling with the infected and fractured survivors, they find refuge in Haven Point, where safety comes at a price.
The siblings must navigate loyalty, loss, and what it means to rebuild when the world refuses to die.

(quietly, to Fighter 2): She took out five on her own, with barely any ammo.
(definitive) There is no doubt that she’s a fighter. Trained or lucky, either way, we could use that.

(lowering weapon) Easy. You’re safe now.
Dead weight, maybe. Or maybe she’s kept him alive this long for a reason.
