    Hey, slightly off topic but still slightly on topic. Is anyone good at making sims? I need two teenagers, male and female for later in my story.

    Not the greatest but I could give it a go. Any specifics. Also note, I only have base game and Bowling, so if you need clothes from other packs you would have to either do that yoursef or have someone else give them a makeover.

    The only specifics I can think of is that the male can't black hair and he can't have noncommital trait, also, he should have the romantic trait. Haha, but you have creative freedom with everything else and the female, too.

    Thanks everyone for their answers. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has specific colors in mind for different characters.

    @CalebFillion I noticed you've been reading and commenting on my story. Thank you! I hope you're enjoying it. You are slowly getting to more interesting parts. ;)

    Yeah. Another weekend question!

    How does everyone implement their flashbacks? Do you use flashbacks in your story?

    I haven't done any yet but spoiler for an upcoming chapter (maybe 3 weeks- a month)
    might involve kinda borrowing Maladi's last flashback but minus the meaning

    Good question. I implement flashbacks and dreams. I edit the screenshots so they look different than the regular ones. Best way to do that is make the dreams or flashbacks black and white. Then you don't need to warn the readers: here comes the flashback; they will take the hint. ;)

    Yep. What Maladi said. If nothing else, I'll drop the saturation and give it a grainy look, possibly with a vignette too.

    Ok, new weekend question.
    When you first create a character,gain a character or a character is born, when do you decide their personality/what they are like/how they think?
  • Options
    LillyDovesLillyDoves Posts: 698 Member
    Good question! Usually, I already have an idea of where I want the character to go. For example: I knew that Isobel wasn't going to be really girly but her sister Serene is. Which creates nice foil characters that totally work together. Especially when their mother is kind of not the best at commitment. So I guess, planning?

    My characters are created before they are even born! I am already creating Generation three in my head and the sims will change according to the plan in my head, not the other way around.

    I haven't yet, but I will in the future. a sepia filter or black and white does the job for me.

    Time for my answer.

    I usually create their personality, while in CAS and for later sims, I imagine what they would be like and if they are a twin, one of them usually has a clashing personality with the other.

    Mostly what @TheGeekGamez already said. When the need of a new character arises I like to ask my readers for submissions. For some reason I love writing characters other people created. Maybe because I look at them with fresh eyes. The legacy family is a whole different matter. I can't replace them I have to think up a story for them as they come. I have to be ready for boys and girls when they are born. For a long time I didn't know what to do with Celeste for instance. Now I can't wait for her to become a teenager and amaze everyone with her personality.
    I usually roll traits at random and decide their personality accordingly. Using the traits to flesh out the characters is lots of fun and as far as I know some of the best simlit writers do it as well.
