New Sim Inspiration due to Loss of Previous Games

Sadly, I've had to buy a new laptop so all of my Sims 4 games are no longer available. However, I have started a new game with a new sim named Angeni Atohi, who is descendant from the Cherokee tribe of North America. Angeni means "Spirit" and Atohi means "Woods", thus she is a "spirit of the woods", so I've made her a outdoors person with a love of gardening.

So, where do you get your inspiration from every time you create a new sim?

    I think I would have to give credit to them.
    Long ago, I created two worlds.

    The First is Briarwood, a Fictional town in the New England Region of America.
    Founded in the August 1860, once a poor hamlet provincial town, now, thanks to my Founding Fathers, is one of the Largest Cities, and perceived to be a potential Threat to Boston, and even New York City, because of it's rapid development.
    The Jordan Family, the main reason they came to America, was to begin a new life, Adam and Diane, at ages 21 and 18 respectively, with their combined... and recent liberated wealth... and their creative minds, they were prime investors in Building Briarwood. They are also werewolves.
    Adam was an English noblemen with his two friends, Graham (a German) and Oliver (Irishman) were touring Europe in 1858 and at the end of their tour they were in Italy, despite the revolutions. Adam met Diane, a Duchess of Medici Blood, However the Fengári House betrothed their daughter to the Barbosa Family. By then Adam and Diane were having an Affair, on the night of her wedding in Paris, Diane murdered her husband as they got into bed, and syphoned their money into Adam's account, and by the next day they fled Europe.

    The Montgomery Family, Graham and Helena, ages 25 and 23 are a Business family and began to stabilize a growing economy within the city. opening a few businesses of their own.

    The Bourbon Family, Oliver 20 and Evelynn 18, they will work with the Montgomery House, Building a successful Farm, Winery, and Brewery in Briarwood, allowing them to be a self sustaining food source for the city, and supplying the outside nation as well.

    The DuVale Family, after failing to seize power in France, Jacques and Regina, Ages 42 and 22 they joined their friends in America. Where Adam and the other Nobles appointed Jacques DuVale Governor of Briarwood. Jacques really wanted to be King of France, even though it is his Wife's Claim. Regina relinquished it when She learned of her husband's treachery. There life in Briarwood, Yes he was Governor, and he was good at leading Politically, but the power still remained with the Jordans. Regina's affair with a Daemon Incubi leads to her "death" new life as a vampire, her Ultimate death will come 100 years later in 1960, When the Dior Family returns to Briarwood.

    The Navarro Family, is a Spanish/Italian family, Bishop Carlos Navarro is responsible for Building the dominating Cathedral of the Arch-Angels in Briarwood the Cathedral is a significant buildings in my storyline,

    The Dior Family is the last "Noble" family to join the Briarwood Elite
    When Léon Dior age 21, comes into the picture, and is taken under Adam & Graham's wing, and into Bruno's, Adam's oldest son, Bed. and growing their family's wealth. Léon Ultimately Betrays them by abandoning them during the Siege of Briarwood, during the Civil War. After He learns what Adam Jordan is a werewolf. Adam has him killed for the betrayal murdering his Son's Lover.
    When Amara Dior, Leon's Younger sister, is 16 years old she learns of the true nature of her Brother's death, was murder, not a crazed wolf attack, and organizes a Raid on the Jordan family. She Kills, Bruno 23, Isabella 16, and Adam 42, and set's the Jordan Mansion on fire. While Diane and their youngest son Caleb escape.
    Diane later dies of fatal wounds, leaving 13 year old Caleb alone and no one to help when he starts to shift.

    for a few decades, Until 1900, the Dior Family remained at Large Until it was learned She murdered them.

    And So the Vendetta against the Jordan and Dior family still rages on.

    Caleb in 1985, 100 years from the Jordan House raid, is restored to his human form, thanks to his wife Roxanne's help (it's a Beauty and the beast tale) he goes by Caleb II, and tells that his "Grandfather" Caleb I, escaped north.

    The Younger Generations of the Montgomery (still the Industry on the East Coast), Navarro (Now Governor of Briarwood), and Bourbon (still sells best Beer and wine in the nation) Houses embrace & support the Jordan Family's return.
    The Jordans, rebuild their dynasty, and have six (werewolf) Sons. the Triplets, Aiden, Cain & Wren: the Twins: Orion & Zane, and the "oops We got drunk in Paris but don't regret it baby": Tyron.

    But thats only a small part of the story and half of the Origins of my inspiration.
    There's not a character I create that doesn't serve a purpose to the plot. I think I manage about 150+ characters in the story.


    Reign is like my favorite TV shows - I would love to recreate a lot of that show in a game, but it would have to be S2 for what I have planned. I'd love to explore more of the Medici line, and all kinds of things. Best recreation of Mary Queen of Scots yet!


    Yeah, I still watch. I've molded Catherine De Medici, took a Little bit of Mary from Reign and Lady Olenna Tyrell of Game of Thrones, Cora the Queen of Hearts from Once Upon a Time, and Maleficent from Kingdom Hearts/Sleeping Beauty, and I've made the best villains of all time, a Queen of her own right, who has Lost Love through infidelity, and death, would do anything for her children, Securing her own and their reign, even if it meant corrupting herself and the Kingdom, by turning to Magic, Dark Magic. She is named For Cora with her style, But she has Catherine's Wits and wealth.
  • I created an O/C for my Star Trek fanfiction (see my siggie) and have been playing her family on and off since Sims2. With the advent of the Sims4 CAS Demo and the contest to create an historical figure, I did my best to recreate my sixth (6 X) great-grandfather who became a somebody. I have been playing his nuclear family (parents and siblings) along with that of his wife's nuclear family and then the two of them. Obviously, it's a rotation save. It takes place in the 18th century, which is really tricky, considering my Sims' obsession with electronics. The wash tub was a bit of a windfall for me, though. A bit closer to being historically 'correct'. ;)

    my imagination lol


    I've been using characters from all of my fantasy novels, plus some based on separate aspects of myself. I'm a nerdy, gothic, arty, creative and a scientist and I love the outdoors and gardening. But mythology is something I have studied since I was 13, so 22 years lol My kindle is a weird combo of fantasy, mythology, horror, thriller, scientific and cookery/baking books lol
  • Lots of different things. Books, movies, other games. It'd be nice to think all of my sims are unique, but the truth is they're all based off of the most overused, cliché tropes ever.
