I think it may be a preference issue when it comes to 'flowery language describing the seemingly meaningless parts of the setting' as I love when this is added in, I notice that this is a (very) common trend in the books I read

I can't tell if this is sims 2 or sims 3 but it's really beautiful!! I love your sets and imaging and like soliamore said - the sims are really well posed, the images are great and well-lit (something I suffer at in my own story tehe) and the rooms are so realistic and perfect!! I really love how it is all set out! How long does it take to edit your images? (just curious :P) I laughed a lot at the imagination picture, because even though it seemed a bit out of place (serious serious funny serious kind of thing), it did brighten up the mood ;D
This is Sims 2 - I tried Sims 3 because several suggested that I continue this story via TS3, but I couldn't find enough tools to help tell the story that are available for TS2 like the Freezing Clock, etc. There's also just something charming about TS2 that makes me loyal to this game versus the newer one.
And ugh, adding proper lighting to the final product of an image is one of the biggest frustrations as Sims 2 is so dark on its own. I always add a Brightness layer that I adjust depending on just how much brighter the picture needs to be. Typically though, Sims 2 just photographs very dark and bland no matter how promising the pictures look in-game.
It used to take me a while to edit pictures (30 minutes+) a long time ago but I've cut it down to 10 minutes per picture after setting up a general routine of how I treat every image. Every image is dealt with individually and consistency becomes the biggest struggle when doing so, but it isn't so bad nowadays. :) Basically, have some music or a good musical/show running in the
