Writing Skill & Writing Update Idea!
I really enjoy having my Sims write their own books in The Sims 4 and I feel like the Writing Skill is in a serious need of an update/overhaul.
I would love to see Sims be able to specialise in a particular genre and earn extra royalties for writing those books. I think Sims should be able to start book franchises and write dedicated sequels to books. I would love to see Sims be able to complete a book franchise and re-release the series in a box-set format. Some neat gameplay ideas is that Sims could have some positive & negative chance card pop-ups when writing books which could impact the overall hype/success of the book they are writing and this could result in higher or lower sales for the book once it is released.
I also like the idea of Sims being able to be signed up to a specific publisher to publish their books through. Publishers could also have target audiences and if your Sim writes a book outside of that target audience for that specific publisher, it could result in some negative feedback, maybe the publisher decides to cut ties with the Sim author.
I would love some customisation for written books as well. Being able to decide on the type of book cover and maybe even be able to select through a huge list of cover art pictures for your Sims books. Perhaps they could hire an artist through the PC/Phone to illustrate for your Sims book.
I would love to see a modern looking typewriter added into B/B for Sims who would prefer to work on thier books with a typewriter. Some new office items including some new PCs, desks and chair. Would also love to see a Printer/Fax Machine item. For CAS I would love to see some nice new office themed clothing.
