    🎭 How To Play With Plot In The Sims

    Bit bored of The Sims? In this episode I break down how you can use the same framework writers use to bring their stories to life - the three-act structure! I break down how this plot structure can introduce conflict and challenges for your Sims. Playing with plot and universal themes in mind can inspire your gameplay whether you are starting a new save or reviving an old one. Listen if: - You’re want the stories you play to be as compelling as the stories you read. - You’re bored of your Sims save file and not sure what to do next in your game. - You’re a writer and curious how to transfer everything you know about plot The Sims. ➡️ Head to the shownotes for the episode transcript and resources mentioned —- Music • You Make Me Feel (feat.

    🔥 Cozy vs Chaotic Gameplay In The Sims

    We Simmers are notorious for the wild shenanigans we get up to in the game. A Sim can never know if they will be part of a cozy and wholesome story or find themselves at the bottom of a pool in a basement dungeon, or sometimes both. We can have a lot of fun nurturing or nixing our sims, but what's the story behind these cozy or sometimes deranged scenarios? From creating heartwarming family legacies to unleashing your Sim’s worst nightmare, in this episode I talk about how much fun both cozy and chaotic gameplay can be. Listen if: - Life is too perfect and you want to add some spice to your game. - You need wholesome gameplay ideas other than playing a family. - You need tips on how to let off steam on your innocent Sims. ➡️ Head to the shownotes for the episode transcript and resources mentioned —- Music • You Make Me Feel (feat.

    🎬 Gameplay-driven vs Scripted Stories In The Sims

    In this episode I talk about how we Simmers experience stories in the game organically through gameplay and how we can use the game as a tool to tell stories we've already come up with. I explore how The Sims offers us a lot of freedom to be creative. Listen if: - You find yourself playing the same narrative over and over again. - You’re a storyteller looking for a stage. - You’re curious what will happen if you let go of the reigns. ➡️ Head to the shownotes for the episode transcript and resources mentioned —- Music • You Make Me Feel (feat.
