How do you Create a Story?
I have been watching sims spark'ed and one of the comments made by a viewer is that sims 4 doesn't offer the right climate for good story telling. Where I do understand somewhat how this was meant......

When I was blogging about the Legacy Challenge I took up, I found myself allowing my Sims to tell me their story. Then after the gaming session I would write down what happened, and add the motivation and thoughts behind the action. My Sims' feelings, et al. Most of the time the story was just right there, it was just a matter of me capturing it on the page.
When it comes to my Cantrell family, they were created for the Star Trek mini-series I wrote to help flesh out my original character (O/C). Her favorite brother is the second eldest child in the family who is a musician. I mostly focus on him these days, playing through his rise to fame. He's also a big family Sim and desires to not just be the 'fun' uncle, but to have a family of his own. Being wildly famous and successful has always put a damper on his desire for a family life. He gets burned more often than not. In fact, in the game save that just got lost in my transfer from one computer to my laptop, his new girlfriend was already crushing on his older and next younger brothers! At first I thought it was his brothers doing the crushing, but right before I had to transfer my game save to the new location, I went to her household and checked her friends panel. I was crushed myself to find, the feelings with his brothers were mutual. Their father is a very rich Sim, Erik was already a Global Superstar (achieving this goal in just 16 Sim days). Gold-digger came to my mind. In one way I'm not sorry the save got lost in the ether.

Normally, his hair is shoulder length. He got it cut to please his father, before school starts again in the fall. Bad job, he ended up going for a shorter look to clean up the mess!

I'm sure there's a story here, too.
