The Art of Sims Storytelling
Hi guys! @CathyTea and I were talking, and we thought we'd try making a thread that would be focused solely on writing, especially Sims story writing. The writers' lounge thread is great for being ...

Thank you so much for reading Frenemies @mastressalita and @VIRTUALEE you're too kind :)
Regarding the thread's topic, like many I first came across the world of sim literature by reading Alice and Kev. Even though I loved the story, the idea of writing one of my own didn't cross my mind until the release of The Sims 4. It all started with the creation of Chelsea and Jessica. I don't know why but those girls really got my creative juices flowing, which ultimately resulted in the creation of Frenemies.
I don't consider myself a writer at all, so I don't feel I could give any useful writing tips. The only advice I have is to be true to yourself. Freeing your mind from any preconceptions of what Simlit should be will help you develop your own writing style. I think it's better to figure out what works for you on your own rather than trying to box yourself into only doing what's considered as being 'the right way'. Now, I know this sounds like some very generic advice but that's only because it's true! :D
