Do you like making up little stories or histories about your sims?

I do.
Especially when weird little circumstances in my game align juuuust right for me to create short stories to amuse myself with. Like so:

Danny: Jupiter, you must uphold the family honor by wearing a kilt and combat boots.

Jupi: …but why? That would just look stupid.

Danny: WEAR A KILT OR ELSE!!! D :<

The real situation that happened in my game was that Jupiter the rebellious alien/merman hybrid was out too late one night. He became grounded for that reason but when I saw Danny walk in with that utterly ridiculous outfit i came up with this story on the fly.

This family has many, many such stories. And yes, I realize it’s silly but
oh well :D :p

  • @katrinasforest I haven’t, that’s actually a great idea. What would be better, in General or in Creative..?
  • @Amphora , Danny makes the most awesome faces, I love him.

    I really like reading other peoples stories and biographies for their sims. Mine always get a backstory, I feel it really helps to "personalise" them. These are great you guys!
    Badmouthing the hubby made me laugh :D
  • @Amphora - yep, "How to scare the son-in-law 101" :D :mrgreen:

    Thank goodness, I have a good relationship with my mother-in-law... (looks around warily... "I think...")
  • @JoAnne65 My first thought is General, since I think of Creative as a place to show stuff you worked on -- as opposed to making things up on the fly.

    But you've been around longer than I have, so I'd trust your judgment over mine. ^_^;;

  • I've done this as well... :)

    I did this when my SS moved into a house in Riverview and had 2 guys, Yuri Ivanov and Hal Breckridge come and greet my SS to the town. Now Yuri was married at the time in my game but he's the town playboy always flirting with and dating other women. So ladies, you better watch out for this one as he's up to no good... :D

    I was given flowers from both guys. Yuri is the one with the long black hair and Hal is in the red tank top... :)

    Yuri wasn't too happy about Hal giving me flowers, so he went and whipped out his guitar to play for me... :) I guess he thinks that he needs to impress me since I had accepted the flowers from Hal, Yuri had the negative symbol above his head as he walked off to play some music... :p

    My SS keeps getting herself abducted by the aliens. So after the 1st time, I chose to do a story around the abduction and use Lunar Lakes as the setting thanks to the Traveler mod. I pretended that the aliens took her to Lunar Lakes for 3 days even though the aliens keep the Sims for about 30 minutes. So I made it sound like that the 30 minutes that my SS was gone was 3 days in alien space time... :)

    The next time that I did a story based on an alien abduction was when I took CravenLestat's SS and dressed him up as a "fake" alien as his SS has it bad for my SS. He's always sending lover letters/gifts/flowers to my SS but she's already with someone and they have a son together. So I decided to make believe that the last time she got abducted, that is was going to be by the "fake" alien (a.k.a CravenLestat). Fake alien then hypnotized my SS with the hypnotizer from the TS3 store and made her do things that she wouldn't normally do. He then scanned for her DNA and made a baby using the DNA in the science machine and then took her home in his "borrowed" alien ship that he got from the alien friends that he has... >:)
  • I have started a new back story for Jasmine and Courtney starting with them as children: :smile:

  • Absolutely, my current sim family has quite a connected backstory made up. But the gist of it is that they're a distant relative to the Baxter family( a previous save game which I ended up losing, otherwise I'd still be playing them) but they don't know to which son they're related to, and are currently in a pretty terrible situation, but are recovering. Wonder where the story is going to lead.
  • I don´t have a backround story for most of my sims, but I love to make up little conversations and try to give a little context to their actions. But I mostly get ideas when I look at my screenshots. I love that sims tend to have a kind of "memory" in their speech and thought bubbles - when there was a fire, they will "speak" about that, when they are pregnant there are the little shoes and the baby bottle in the bubbles.

    Jan: Whaaaaat??
