Hi! I just found your neighborhood rotation, right when I'm getting ready to start my own. I plan to play all the townies (pre-mades), much like you are. I've been busy trying to figure out if I can find a way to blog the story, and how to keep it interesting. I have a couple questions for you, if you don't mind...

I had a townie rotation going when sims 4 originally came out, but I made the mistake of adding my own sim families into the mix, and it quickly became too many sims to follow once the other sims from EA came out with their respective expansions. It seems you play them in alphabetical order, right? I'm planning on playing by neighborhood they live in, starting with the Willow Creek residents. How do you keep track of who's next - a spreadsheet or something? I have a piece of graphing paper set up with each family and a place to check off which weeks have been played.

How did you decide to do three families a week, or was it just the way things worked out? I'm trying to figure out a reasonable amount to do each week - without taking all of my simming time, because I have a couple other challenges I'm working on.

Do you play on "normal" life-span, or short? I'm toying with the idea of doing it on short, but at the same time, I don't want to miss anything, especially with seasons and holidays coming out. I plan on starting play after Seasons launches, so I have a little time to figure things out. I have the neighborhood organised and ready, and I split them into the families that they'll be in (instead of leaving some households as roommates only).

Anyways, I'm glad to have found your blog, it gives me some ideas on how I could blog my townie rotation, although how to get it started and organised seems to be the hardest part. And then there's trying to catch up on the rotation you have going... that should keep me busy for a while, right? :smiley: Do you have a link/suggestion as to where I should start reading on your pre-mades rotation, or should I just start alphabetically?

@IllusoryThrall Hey, sorry about not replying for so long! Well....what can I tell you about the mission that is playing Sims 4 on rotation!

I play house to house, it kind of looks alphabetical because when I split the households I tend to move them nearby. I have a spreadsheet that I fill out, listing every family household, the lot they live in, when I've played and I also fill out story ideas/sims to focus on so I have an idea for each blog post.

I've tried with paper as well, I tend to use that for planning my blog post uploads, so I know what family is up next and to tick off the photos I have ready.

I post every three days as this fits best, posting daily was too intense and once a week would mean I would only get through the rotation once a year as I currently have nearly 50 households (which I need to cut down, all my families are on a baby ban, one-two per household!!).

Great idea with sorting out the families ready, I have them on normal life span, which works well as I have the auto ageing off on the other households so no one grows up while I'm playing with other families. Normal works well, tend to have 2 blog posts with the children being that age, then 2 posts for them as teenagers and 4-6 as adults (hopefully that makes sense!). I don't want them to age up too quickly and have one blog post where I'm celebrating their birthday to a child and then the next blog post is them ageing to a teenager.

I really considered starting from scratch when I started actually blogging as I was already on generation 3/4 but decided not too. Reading them alphabetically is probably easiest as the neighbourhood rotation tends to change when I add in new households.

Keep me posted on how the rotation goes and a link when you start blogging, would love to see your take on rotating and how your families differ. I'm also interested to see how seasons will fit in. I might be posting blogs about Christmas in July for some families!!

@gemma_spencer Thanks for the reply! I haven't decided how many or fast I'll be posting, but I am thinking about putting them on a posting queue, so I always have one waiting to be published. We'll see how it works. I think I completely agree on playing on normal. Especially since the lowest level of time for seasons setting is 7 days, and I have seasons on pre-order. Can hardly wait for it to come out, because that's when I'll start my rotation. I feel better about the number of families I have knowing that you have around 50. I took the pre-mades that were released officially on the gallery, too... (in addition to the ones that are inside the game when you launch. the gallery ones are the sims used in the PR campaigns by EA, so they all look pretty familiar. and am putting in some of the ones that really interest me, the others I'll save and rotate in when another family retires due to not having heirs or something. I'll also put mine on normal, and obviously only the active family will age, because I don't want to miss anything.

I plan to keep track of kids and who's going to pair with who on paper, but I have my website set up with tours of the neighborhoods (pictures of the lots) and index pages (will have a linked list of chapters/weeks for each family), so it'll be easy to follow for anyone reading. I'm still finishing up the introduction pages for each family, and the last minute organizing stuff. I will not be playing vampires in this townie rotation, because they don't age... I'll put all the vampire families into their own save, and eventually I'll play a Vampire Town.. but certainly not for a while. I plan to start play on the 22nd or 23rd, after seasons launched. I'll post here with the link when I get started, because it'll be fun to see how our families differ.

@IllusoryThrall I can't wait until seasons either! 50 families is difficult, I don't really want to get any bigger but we'll see what happens!

Yes I started doing that with the teenagers, I also put the teenagers in a house together (like uni) so they can make friends and pair up! Love the idea of having an index page in order, might look at adding something to my blog so people can see the order.

I don't use vampires either, just doesn't fit in with the idea of generations. Can't wait to see your first post!!
