Your Favourite Ways to Find Inspiration
Happy Spring! :smiley: Many of my family/play ideas simply come from coming up with a nice punny Sim name... but where does inspiration come for you all?

I hadn’t played Sims since around 2006 - give or take two years, lol. I just didn’t have a computer that could handle the specs. So, when my daughter saw Sims 4 on sale in January 2018, we bought it. We had Sims of ourselves at first, and played them a lot. Then lost interest in the game.
Since then, the first thing I did was make 6 families, of different ethnicities. Each family had either 2 sons, or 2 daughters. One a young adult, the other a teen. Then I had all the young adults hang out together, and saw who they gravitated to, and married them off. So then there were 3 new couples in the game. So I aged up the teens, and did the same with them. Let them choose each other. So, 3 more families in the game.
Then I decided I wanted portraits painted of each family, so I made a sim (Jasmine) and got her to master painter very quickly, and she moved from house to house painting portraits.
Then, for some odd reason, that I can’t remember, I wanted her as a male sim. So I went into CAS, made a female twin of Jasmine, so they’d be exactly alike, then just changed the twin to a male - his name is Jasper, and he is the hero of the town. He got Master painter status super easily, then got to be the MVP of the team. Now all of the other stories/families revolve around him.
Except for two, but they are too long to explain- lol. They were spawned by townies doing interesting things to my played Sims. And now I endlessly write stories about them all. The stories come from faces they make or actions they do during interactions. The stories write themselves. And I can safely say I am addicted to this game, and regularly stay up until 3 am playing and taking pictures for the stories.
