*Hope this is okay to post in General Discussion. It will reach many more simmers that way than if I post it in the Creative Corner. :) *Hey everyone! :smiley:I'm planning early again ;) for writing another Sims 3 Christmas story for 2021! :blush: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/17/24/38/17243891c063e08340c4aaabc4743c62.jpg^Had to throw in a cozy holiday pic. ;) And Severinka's stuff rocks! :star:I asked for people's opinions on writing prompts back in 2019 and it was super fun! :grin: I know it made @Pary happy as pie that I chose her amazing twist on one of the prompts and I'd love to give another simmer that chance. <3 So what kind of Christmas story idea do you have? Open up your imagination and give me what you got. :mrgreen: (Please keep in mind that if I feel like it is a story that will be too difficult to create in the game, I may use more words than pictures or change some details in the story to make it easier to illustrate OR pass on the idea altogether. My apologies about the latter. :pensive: It's nothing personal. :kissing_heart: )GO! :mrgreen:

Oooh I can't wait to see what comes up this year! You wrote 2019 so well, I loved it! I wasn't around really at Christmas just past. Did you write one for 2020?

Can’t wait to see what people post.Afraid I’m not creative I have no ideas for you, but I know your story will be excellent whatever you choose

Combining Christmas and horror maybe? I tried to get a Sims 3-specific "winter ice sculptor tricks you into getting a cool sculpture but she turns you into an ice zombie" short story off the ground for other contests but Christmas 2020 was how you described it. (too much IRL horror)

@emorrill I know I always love reading your Christmas stories and I'm glad you are thinking ahead. I hope you will have the time with getting moved and settled and unpacked in a new town.I don't have any specific ideas but will think about it and post here if I get something.

A kind-hearted woman finds a homeless man shivering in the park, takes him in, and finds out he's a whole different man underneath that shabby exterior.

@Pary Sort of. :lol: I was actually going to skip doing one altogether because...well...you know how crazy 2020 was. :scream:

But I couldn't resist the urge so I decided to do a continuation of my 2018 Christmas Story. :blush: Told myself to keep it simple so it wouldn't feel too overwhelming.

You can check it out here if you'd like. :)

Thank you for the compliment on my Christmas Card story. <3 <3 I loved writing every moment of that one.

Anyone else have any ideas? Like a certain story you would like to see told with a Christmas theme that hasn't been done yet? :)

I play Aislynne's Christmas Challenge every year. It revolves around the city canceling the Winterfest faire and a lone sim trying to save the festival by fundraising, training musicians and standing up against a neighborhood hate group.
The "story" I come up with is only gameplay commentary with dialogue (last year's is here: https://enkisstories.tumblr.com/tagged/sims4-christmaschallenge-markus/chrono)

I'm leaving the link to the challenge here in case anybody would like to adapt it for Sims 3 or use it as inspiration for a story: https://href.li/?https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=567508

Kind of sounds like the story I wrote last year just
My lady wasn’t nice off the bat except he was in her garden eating veggies ?
