Playing Sims but don't write stories

My simming consists of one third gameplay, two thirds storytelling (blogging and acting out scenes in game), and I think this is weird. Playing the game normally without story is not strange at all.

@Daephene I agree with the expectations thing! There's still a lot I do not blog about, because it would require recounting to my followers what sim x said to sim y's cousin two real life years ago to understand why a particular scene is funny to me. What I blog is already shortened and edited, not the real story that I write for myself. And I'm just a small "I blog what I feel like" blog, don't want to imagine what it's like for the popular ones. Probably a workload compareable to a part-time job.

I've never blogged my stories. I just play for me. I take pictures occasionally but that's it.

I never plan out stories, I usually create some weird sims and see where the game takes them? I still have a plan not everything is random but I like to have the game take over and create something unexpected. I use tons of mods for that.

I have 157 hours on Sims 4 an d I sometimes have a 'plot' but I don't really blog (I tried don't have the attention span) or write about my sim and just play lol is that weird?

No, it doesnt make you weird at all. I do the same thing with some saves, others have no plot and still other saves are based totally on my Nanowrimo stories and fanfics I write for myself.

Besides, whats weird anymore these days? ?‍♀️?

I do have a vague plan when I play I just don't blog :tongue:

My gameplay was a lot more documented for Sims 2 and 3. I kept meticulous notes and charts on all my families. Took and posted loads of photos. I'm over that now and just want to spontaneously play and enjoy the game.

For me the problem is no in game story vehicle. TS2 has an album attached to each household for screenshots to go into - no mass pot like 4. Lots of room for captions, so telling a graphic novel type story is easy. Impossible with 4.

I only play for myself.

I see a lot of posters talk about stories, and posting about their gameplay, on this forum and on Youtube. That does not mean everyone does.

I rarely see anyone talk about stories they have read.

I have a blog, but most people definitely don't. There are millions of players. Most people just play the game.

I blog but I'm like a super lazy blogger. I write maybe three stories in a year. I still enjoy coming up with stories every time I play.
