It's definitely something I would use. I set my own scenarios all the time but am on console so I just make it up as I go along!
Here are some of my favourite inventions:
💰My current challenge is one I've done before, to take a Townie and give them an epic success story. Currently it's Zoe Patel. She started out hustling at local spas and gyms teaching yoga and meditation, then bought a little patch of land to create an outdoor yoga and meditation space. With the earnings from that she's just bought a luxury spa. Johnny Zest is another one, he's now a superstar comedian and has reunited with his dad Geoffrey Landgraab.
🪚Make a homemade home with everything foraged or harvested, salvaged from dumpsters, collected, fabricated, crafted and knitted. My Sim didn't buy a thing except kitchen units (the only thing I couldn't find enough of in dumpsters) and lived in a tent with no money at the start. Literal rags to riches... extreme homemaker edition! All her earnings were from planting the harvestables she found, selling anything she didn't need and crafting items to sell. She made her own jewellery, paintings and pottery, preserves and Nectar too. Now she cures the locals ailments with her homemade apothecary cures. But as a Freegan she does feel like she's sold out a little now she's working!
🎮Emancipate a teenager and see if they could survive by earning money and living on their own. My teen Sim does very well on her own from the streamer career.
🏝️Shipwreck a Sim with nothing on deserted Mua Pel'am in Sulani and survive by fishing and collecting. I've had some become celebrities by streaming their endeavours. Sometimes they build a house in Sulani later or move on.
🐺 Befriending Greg the raging werewolf! My Spellcaster Sim has managed to tame the terrifying beast and now he's not on his own. He's quite a softy when you get to know him! I also created the ghost of his lost wife Avelina Lunvik so now he has quite the social life.
🏕️Getting a Sim to travel to each world living out of a tent and collecting and fishing to make their fortune before settling down somewhere and building a house.
I end up juggling a few aspirations to earn points for these little homemade scenarios.
