The Art of Sims Storytelling

This is a very riveting thread and i'm glad I came across it! I've been playing the sims since 2004 (ts1) and find that it relaxes me. Over the course of the last 10 years, I have attempted several legacy-related stories but got bored and scrapped them. I did,however, complete a sim self bachelorette challenge (based on boy i was friends with in high school when i wrote it.) Ended up dating 3 of those people in real life xD It was cool because someone on the old ts2 site was inspired by that story and included my characters in her own challenge... i hope it's still in cyberspace somewhere xD I've been inspired by writers like Candi and Ephemeral Toast (ts2) and recently by The Wolffe Legacy. I really enjoy writing my current legacy because i feel like the character's identities are more fleshed out and real to me. I think cutting back on the number of children my founder has helps immensely. These days I like to read legacies and sim stories the same depending on how well they hold my interest. I like how there aren't any rules of writing and this community is generally an upbeat and supportive one!
