Wow, I'd never considered taking screenshots first. I'll have to challenge myself to try that. I feel like the story would follow the screenshots in that case. Or maybe you know the bones of the story in your head and then take the screenshots and write from there.

I come up with the general idea in my head and then write the story until it's perfect. Then I storyboard it and write detailed descriptions of what the screens look like and where they go. Then I set up each shot one by one.

While I do have the bones of it on a storyboard I really enjoy seeing what my sims do in some situations .. in a recent story 2 of my characters were to go to the local bar and investigate (Strangerville) when they got there the female of my duo would glare at any other female who got anywhere near the male (I have them destined romantically but nothing in the pink) it was hilarious because she mean mugged the crud out of them AND THEN when they got back home to the barracks he tried to friendly talk her and her face went stone and she snapped him a salute ... I had the best time writing that little gift from EA up. It was far funnier than anything I had thought of. It is such a weird game!
