It usually starts with imagining what the sims talk about, or if the sim do something on their own (like fighting with each other, or something like that). I just spin on that and coming up with reasons why they are fighting and that sort of thing. Like in the story in the OP, I had already decided that the father would hate chidren and be a worcaholic. But nothing more than that. Like I had no idea they would have twins for intstance. So i just came up with having apposite personalites and having them fight alot to become enemies, but also at the same time share room together. I later decided i wanted them to move together as roommates and just kind of watch all the drama.. haha

You're welcome. I find your stories show a lot of depth :smile: I play similarily. I always invent back stories for my sims and have a plan on what I want them to experience but that can change a lot by their behaviour or what I feel they're expressing. Dina Caliente in my game unexpectedly came out as a lesbian XD I just felt she wasn't at all attracted to men. It always stalled with every single sim I paired her with.
But my plans only span the next couple of sim days... and mostly get overthrown by my sims quite soon... haha

so back to your topic! there are a lot of you who played their families for a really long time. I am impressed!

Wow Dina is a sim i havent seen in a long time :o of course after 19 generations all of the premades are long gone.. Its a shame actually.. hmm.. maybe i should add some of them back from the gallery or something! That would be cool :) Yeah, my sims does NOT always want to follow the story i invented for them either... I usually just ignore them and focus on the things they do that actually fits the storyline.. Like for intstance my enemy twins, frequently being nice to each other.. I even got a pop up that said they had made up and are no longer enemies. So i had to make them fight a whole bunch just to keep the setting.. haha
