Taking a break….

I don’t do any of my interests every day. I practice music some days, sketch others, go out a bit, and play Sims a few times a week. If I’m in between story ideas, it might be months between games while I wait for inspiration. That’s not because of the game, though. And, it really hasn’t been a problem for nearly two years now, since I started playing my fantasy save. I’ve found that playing a larger story that includes multiple smaller ones keeps me more engaged than when I just play one household throughout. When one story goes a little stale, there’s another one to be explored. Right now, I’ve got my main story, but I’ve also got Strangerville, Paranormal, and Jungle Adventure play throughs set up and waiting to go in the same save, if I need a change of pace. When I get bored with the main game, I rotate off to these side adventures for while until I’m ready to go back.
