Storylines for your Sims game (part 3)

We've decided once again to come up with interesting game ideas for you :) You can find previous ones here and here. We hope you'll see the potential in these five unique storylines for your Sims! 

Elder playboy 

Thanks to Whiny Brit for the idea   

The main character of this story is an adult man who has worked very hard for a long time to buy himself a luxurious house and start a family. But when the time came to settle down, he was hit by a belated midlife crisis. So, on the verge of old age, he decides to become the local playboy, dating young beauties and indulging in every whim. 

For this scenario, it’s convenient to install the “Sugar life” mod. So, what's the catch? The playboy needs to have several young girlfriends, at least three, but more if possible. The challenge is that he must have enough time and, most importantly, money to maintain all these relationships. He has to take his girlfriends on dates at least once a week, give them expensive gifts and flowers at each meeting, spend the night with them at least once a week, and regularly give them “pocket money.” Of course, the girlfriends must not know about each other. 

If time and money run out, he’ll have to end the relationships. After all, you can't become a true playboy for free :) 

Pregnancy after adopting twins 

Real life isn't the only one capable of throwing such surprises. Your characters have been together for a million years, and all those years they've spent in happiness and harmony. There's no better couple for raising children. But unfortunately, despite all their efforts, they couldn't have their own kids. Numerous doctors, tests, unsuccessful pregnancies... after several years, they gave up. 

At first, your sims decided to just stay together and enjoy each other. But later, after taking a break from problems and failures, they realized they were ready to raise adopted children. The adoption process went smoothly: a wonderful family, a beautiful home, a good income. Due to their not-so-young age (roughly mid-adulthood), the future parents decided not to wait and adopt two children at once. They ended up with twin baby boys. 

This already looks challenging. But, before they could get used to their new role and establish a routine, the woman finds out she's pregnant. What to do in such a situation? Of course, they don't plan to give up their long-awaited biological child (or maybe twins?), but how to manage... 

Try to find out how your sims will behave, whether they can keep up with all the children, and how their relationship will endure this. Will the arrival of the children lead to happiness or separation? 

New life for NPCs 

Thanks to Whiny Brit for the idea   

You can take classic game sims and give them the life they've always wanted, create a new past for them, or imagine what their past was really like. 

For example, you can add the famous Agnes Crumplebottom to your family. We've only seen her in her old age. It would be interesting to imagine what kind of life she had. Was it easy and carefree, or full of hardships and pain? It's up to you to decide. Give her a happy family, a beloved career, and children. If you want to, of course. 

There's nothing stopping you from populating an entire town with such characters and, if you're interested, developing each family in turn, intertwining the fates of legendary sims. 

Mafia 

We believe The Sims is underrated in terms of building criminal and dramatic relationships. For example, a great idea would be to create a complex mafia clan through an extensive network of clubs. 

You can gather the heads of small families into a club, making the don the club's president. Each family can be responsible for different areas of criminal activity. As we know, the mafia traditionally deals with waste management and low-cost laundromats. You can draw inspiration from this experience. 

Of course, the heads of families are obliged to pay dues to the Don. And, as in any mafia movie, your storyline will include conflicts with other clans, informants, betrayals, and serious problems that could threaten the existence of an entire family. 

Separate save file for a zombie apocalypse 

If you're interested in such a storyline, it can captivate you for a long time. Of course, you can search for already prepared saves that convey the right atmosphere. But it seems much more interesting to go through this journey together with some town from the beginning. 

We suggest choosing the most charming and well-developed town in your save, installing a suitable mod (like this one), and playing right from the first infected person. It's up to you to decide how the town will change, how beautiful, well-kept houses will fall into disrepair and be destroyed by looters. Gradually rebuild the lots, creating an appearance fitting for the situation. 

Your sims' goal is to survive. You can choose one family or combine several into one big one for convenience. You'll have to learn to fight zombies, find food, water, and weapons, and possibly even discover a cure. And most importantly – avoid competing families, as not everyone wants to continue living by the law. Many have decided that strength is now the only thing that matters, and human qualities must be left in the past. Such people are willing to do anything for resources.
