Storytellers: Can I pick your brain?
Hey,
I'm wondering if you have any ideas for a sim story I got rolling around. I have all packs. Before I go on further, I'd like to openly state I turned off all mods and moved them into an external hard drive. So, I have been running on good ol' EA making gameplay. I do miss some CAS items, and a few gameplay mods but it was getting overwhelming. I state this because I'm not looking for new mods or whatnot. I'm just looking for story ideas.
I have a young adult woman named Eva who moved into a small haunted house in Moonwood Falls. She has had her curiosities of the supernatural and enjoyed the laidback (as it gets...) atmosphere of the town. Her main curiosity was Grim who appeared in the nick of time when the mailman mysteriously died on her front yard trying to deliver her weekly newsletter. (Seriously I have no idea how the heck he died. One minute Grim was summoned, scrolled away for literally a second then received a notification there was a death...you can't make this up in the sims...I'm over here confused how the heck he died. A fine dedicated mailman...rip...) Grim asked for her help to make ambrosia and after what she just witnessed, she obliged to help him...and play her cards right...
Through her journey as a paranormal investigator to calm the hauntings in her own home and others, she slowly met those that slowly came out of the shadows. Kristopher for one, whom she became close friends with despite his wolfy personality. Lilth also came along who is currently carrying, as well as the Sages and merfolk. She feels her curiosities for the supernatural fascinate her but.....is looking more specifically at Grims world thinking of making a choice in her life no matter the costs. She has been confronted by Temprence who has a passion for breaking her bathroom sink while Eva seeks refuge in her seance room (where the doll will protect her...lol!). After Eva witnessing the mailman's death she learned of a crystal that will prevent her from dying. So, she created the jewelry piece and wears it 24/7 for her on sanity and safety. Not only that she extends her art by making jewelry for others and sells on the side for an extra hustle.
Thats the story so far and as you see its getting set up for Life and Death EP. This has been my main story I've been playing actively. It's been a challenge without the pleasures of MCC and UI extension to simply up needs or cheat skills when one desires and I'm enjoying the progress and challenges on my own.
After watching the gameplay trailer, my eyes lit up with the interesting features of the ghosts. I'd like to do a level up of a ghost in her household while Eva is going to work as a Grimtern eventually. I'm wondering how suddenly a person comes around to stay with her where the story would lead to. Thinking of a little drama to get sprinkle in-not that misfortunes have already followed Eva with A. the haunted house and B. unexpected circumstances that are too many to state. Right now, she doesn't have any family but subject to change if the story fits. She had a relationship with Guidry and despite it being an amazing compatibility he was just very...very....clingy so Eva broke it off and stopped his visits. Seriously..I'm trying to become friends with Grim and he kept wanting to do a social interaction...every. single. time. Or she goes to meet with friends...poof he appears. No. Go away.
Wondering if any storytellers have any ideas with a mysterious second person to be added in the household. I'm just unsure how to take the story a step further if you understand.
