My confession is that I am a " scatter-brained" player. I have a big save that I have played for a long time by adding sims to it and playing them. I will play a particular sim and think....yeah, they need this person or this thing or this group in their lives to add to their story.....so off I go to add that and build and create new sims and place them in the world. I then play them to get them established a bit and then I lose track because THEY need someone or something for THEIR story and I forget all about why they were created in the first place!
I'll create a teen, and then think, well I need more teens in the world for them! And off I go to make and place more teens....all the while forgetting the original teens story line!
So I have this big old world with so many different sims that were meant to be additions to other sim stories in the world. lol.
I admit I may benefit from writing about each sim BEFORE I make more. And then maybe I will be able to intertwine the sims better and play it from all the different angles.....so long as I can get the story straight!
