Cool thread idea! I really like your story about Olivia. It's interesting how you came up with her character idea, but then started over and actually played out her backstory. Seeing her finally in her original outfit style made me grin. You made it feel very natural.
Whenever I start a new game with a new sim or new set of sims, I usually play for about three to five sessions with them to see if I bond with them or not. If I do, I may end up playing with them for years. If not, I generally quit playing with them.
Maybe it's because I easily feel empathy toward made up characters, but whichever sims I have been playing with the most, most recently, start to feel like the most special ones. So it's hard for me to say who would fit into this description best for me.
I believe her story has really drawn me into the game.
I have other sims that have glimmers of possible stories. I am looking forward to playing them too.
A lot of my playing has been experimenting with the new packs as they arrive.
I usually make a copy of my main save and play an alternative universe. So I have potential stories I can try with other sims from my experiece with the latest pack.
For example, I have one of my favorite sims moved to San Myshuno as a writer.
I had him write stories until he had enough money to buy a vacation home in Sulani (retail business actually) so I could see how that would work.
He met a mermaid and fell in love with her and they went on adventures in Selvadorada together.
I think I might play that out in my main save after he graduates from Uni.
We have rental properties now, so he can simply rent a place, but I think I prefer him owning it.
He did live on a plot of land with a tent, and slowly built the house. I will probably play with a combination of the two so he can still have all the comforts of home.
I feel like I have more empathy for my made up characters too.
I will be adding a ton of new sims because of my University experiences. I made over quite a few dormies and tweaked their traits to make them more interesting. Now I want them to have homes an live in the world.
