Does your gameplay involve “storytelling”?

Hey Simmies! Not trying to be a plum with my question, and hopefully you won’t think I’m too much of a balloon head. Prior to joining the forums, I never really thought about what other “play styles” were out there. Started with a handful of Sims and I just keyboard warriored my way through their lifecycles, skipping around to whatever branch of the fam tree I happened to find interesting ?

People talk a lot about “storytelling” gameplay and I never really know what y’all mean! I’m super curious. Do you blog or record the story you are telling? Are you playing out a story that you’ve already conjured in your imagination? Is it a single plot point that you evolve into an unknown direction? I love learning about how other Simmies play and would love to learn more about this play style. Thanks! ?

Yes, yes and maybe, perhaps.

I usually want to explore a career or hobby or something.

Recently, I've gone full on into a true story line and have 5 sim stories that I have planned and partially scripted (bullet point what outcomes I intend, but the game will throw a curve ball so I roll with it)

Then I have other games that are more fluid.

My main focus is to try to play every aspect of the game and EPs, GPs.
Like with TS2 I didn't realize there were werewolves and there are features of TS3 I haven't played out. I still haven't found the Kraken.

So, in TS4 I want to explore all of the game and focus on the good things about the game.

I get bored alot, so I tend to hop from different saved games and may play a different saved game when I do play.
