A sudden thought: If newspaper aren’t modern enough to make a return, should there be a more up to date way, non computer based, for us to receive gossip?
With tablets already a thing, and soon digital easels, what about gossip articles? Similar to how your sim can praise or slate someone should be become a journalist, they can snoop around, stalk, investigate and so on, locals and neighbors, even celebs if you have G.F and a certain career path, and get the scoop on what’s going down.
Basically, a digital newspaper. Gurus don’t need to factor in a new active object and all they really have to sort out is a random white page with some lines and or blurry images on a tablet, you can subscribe to it and pay a fee weekly or monthly, receive spam, trashy lies creates to stir up trouble, the latest Tea on drama happening in the worlds and maybe even be involved in some of what’s happening,
Along with that, they can find out whose passed on, whose had a baby, whose been caught sneaking around behind a spouses back, and of course they can aid or find those responsible for the articles written by randomly going around town and finding someone hidden behind a building, bush, dressed up to hide their real identity, basically have a whole bunch of interactions and new options where news becomes sort of a big thing around town.
It can be a pain in the plum, ruin friendships, ruin marriages and lives in general, make or break your career, decide if your offspring are popular or bullied at school, make you and your family outcasts due to something big and terrible happening caused by you or said family members, how people interact with you and so on.
Sort of make this an extension of G.F.
You don’t have to be famous to be well known.
You don’t need to be the hotshot to hear all the gossip that’s going down around you.
You don’t need money to attract a bad crowd.
Sorry for sort of twisting this on it’s head but if newspapers aren’t an option anymore, would could there be to add the function but in a more up to date system?
If you can’t be the Internet, might as well join it.
