TS5: Immersive experiences and twists of fate
Participating in another post about potential city life in TS5, I started daydreaming about some fun ideas to enliven TS5 towns and create a really engaging world.
Personally, I don’t like how the current towns are so “collection” based where excitement revolves around what random artifact you’ll find. It would be cool if the game randomly spawned “experiences” instead of items, things Youtubers can’t spoil the location of, and may not be the same twice.
I’d prefer to uncover unique experiences....
🎁 Find an underground band rocking out in an offshoot alley
🎁 A mysterious merchant selling one-of-a-kind wares that can’t be glommed from debug or bought from the rewards store
🎁 Discover a pop-up restaurant that serves an extremely rare food type for one night and then vanishes for weeks
🎁 Climb a fence into a celeb-packed pool party and end up in tomorrow’s gossip rag, eliciting phone calls from curious friends
🎁 Learn a random phrase throughout your travels that ultimately is the passcode to get into a puzzlingly generated speakeasy that moves locations throughout the month. IRL there’s
a bar in my neighborhood where a guy stands by a potted flowered tree and lets you into a beautiful basement library night-cap bar if you “know the code” (printed on dinner receipts, changes daily)
🎁 Stumble upon an impromptu basketball match and make new friends you ultimately start a weekly pick-up game and BBQ with
🎁 Find a strange lad playing chess solo in the park that regales you with town whispers or investment tips
Just some ideas! I’d love to see more unpredictability in TS5, and towns peppered with little curious mysteries that can really personalize live gameplay.
What are some of your ideas?
