The story behind your current household
I love giving my sims backstories as well as reading others! What is the story behind your current household or one you've always loved? Maybe even one you're planning to create? This could even be a ...

I just reinstalled everything and reloaded Origin in and decided to ditch all my saves... it hurt some but I had so many mods and saves it was like digging through an endless pile.
Today I've been recreating a Sims 1 and 2 world. Which I had done before but with all the new stuff... like laundry and pets it gives me incentive to play these characters yet again in Sims 4. It's also fun to build up the new world using the objects that have been coming in to add more personality to the characters. I try not to play with houses too long because in the past I kept giving up on playing because I had to complete the world first so I added in just a few favorite houses and started playing the Newbies ... of course. Gotta go old school.
Bob, Betty and Brandi Newbie live in a little one bedroom house (downloaded from the gallery). Brandi is a toddler right now but of course I want her to grow up and marry Skip and continue on that story.. but that will take awhile to get too. I've got Bob starting to write books - in the game start off the writing children's genre so he's writing books with Brandi as the lead "superhero" toddler kind of character. Last time I played this they didn't have a toddlers in the game so he started writing Betty stories, I'm having fun with the patterns I create and how these characters and their personalities are solidifying more in my head as I play. They are pretty poor but with this version they can make money fast once it starts coming in and that's okay. For now Betty is supporting them by collecting stuff to sell, she'll paint and start a garden too I'm sure. I know eventually I'll put her in the Chef career, because I always did in the past. She ends up being supermom and loves her husband a bunch even though they are like night and day... she's active and gregarious while he's more of a homebody and lazy.. they are both playful though.. it works. They share the load of raising Brandi.. if anything Bob does more childcare already which I find very endearing. I love to fall in love with my sim characters.. who doesn't?
The house I downloaded for this family has the clown picture up... which I remember from the first Sims and also remember using back then while fast forwarding their lives and umm eventually they died (in Sims 1). I know this won't happen this time around but I'm already planning on having Bob look at the picture possibly while Betty and Brandi are out or kept away. The Clown will have an impact on him .. rather like, if anyone watches old movies .. Harvey the Rabbit. The clown of course gives off a sad aura though so it will affect Bob. Other family members might see the Clown eventually.. of that I'm not sure just yet.. or I might have to plot to keep them all away so he remains only seen by Bob for awhile. Either way it's making me smile.
In the past I wrote out the Specter story.. well key points that I wanted to play out. I don't know, between doing things like that .. almost like a fanfiction and getting the houses right (and even updated to Sims 4 style) and then playing it out... it really is entertaining. I'm having a bunch of fun right now plotting, planning and playing.
