Recently, my game has been lacking drama and it is starting to get really boring. Do y'all have any ideas on how to spice up the game a bit? Dank thank
Honestly give into the whims in the Sims and I mean literally. Sometimes Sims give you a perfect opportunity to add Drama. All it takes is 1 whim to "Be flirty with..." that isn't their significant other and you are good.
Try creating a new household with a sim who has traits you've never played with before. If you use cheats, don't just let things happen. Complete every whim and want you are able to that your sim wants.
If you are playing a family and have parenthood, create sibling rivalries. Also, skip school and play hooky. I did that and made my sim child become enemies with someone there. I was imagining my sim was thinking, "Gee, that guy looks weird. His clothes are weird.". She then mocked his outfit and from there they fought. With words and fists :p .
If you have get together have two roommates or siblings or spouses create two separate clubs that they lead. Make them rival clubs where they "be mean to" and other socially inappropriate actions towards the other club. Have them meet in the same place and see what happens.
If you have Get Together create 2 clubs that have to be mean toward each others. But 2 of the members of the opposite clubs are in love with each other. Or just create the ultimate player sim who woohoos with everyone and causes drama with that.
I usually create 'perfect' Sims with all the traits & aspirations that I want them to have & the game gets boring for me after awhile. I started randomizing all my Sims born in game...to have random traits & aspirations. & this added a bit more drama into my game. Like in my legacy family, my heir has the 'hates children' trait & is also mean. Now as a YA she got the irresponsible and bad manners traits. She married a townie who is jealous and insane. They have 1 child & he just got abducted by aliens and is pregnant. All they do is argue. He's usually disgusted by her bad manners and then gets jealous if they spend zero time together. With my Sims marriage tanking, I decided to have my heir have an affair with her childhood BFF. So far, I'm just rolling with the story line as it comes. This is my 1st time playing such a moody household, as I usually don't give my Sims the 'negative' traits. & the child....well, it's kind of sad since the mom gets tense being around her own son. So, I'm creating a story line around that when his generation starts.
I do challenges for each generation. I randomly pick a neighbourhood, lot size, career, children (have three kids, have a girl, have a boy, have an alien baby, have a red haired child etc) and lot traits. I also have challenges for each generation, some of which are brutal. I think my toughest one to date was to reach the top of the culinary career, have three kids, an outing every day and live in a small apartment with grody, filthy and vampire nexus as lot traits.
Some of my other generational challenges are: Have three spouses die of old age, kill five spouses, have a baby, toddler, child and teenager at the same time, never use build mode, use the wishing well daily, all children must grow up with all of the negative parenthood traits, have triplets and learn all of the San Myshuno recipes.
Sometimes you just have to find something random and go with it, I have a legacy now that I wasn't going to have but bad decisions amuse me.
gen 1 raised kids in a shack off collectables and stolen goods.
gen 2 she failed to get pregnant with a roommate she just met so they tried again.
gen 3 met a guy outside her house and got pregnant, cheated on him with the neighbor after her first born..was well born but he had just gotten their other neighbor pregnant who was pregnant and now they have all the kids and will get married. I have an idea for what my heir will get when I decide to age him up.
You could try something like that see if it entertains you heh.
Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
All the sims err'day
Well... As to offer something that isn't already here... How about turning one of your sim couple into a vampire and give them Uncontrollable Hissing; Sloppy Drinker; Insatiable Thirst; Undead Aura for the negative traits, then you'll have a sim who will force other sims including their spouse the hate or gradually hate them. That Uncontrollable Hissing is a jewel for negative emotions it seems, had a female sim with it. Golly!! Only other vampires were able to stand/ like her
What I've always done in the past is to create a Heidi Homewrecker or Harold Homewrecker Sim who is a serial romantic. Their gold is to bust up as many families as possible. Not sure if would work well in Sims 4, but it was great in Sims 2 and 3.
Get a serial cheater. I have a cheating dog in my game, that I just love. He's dated his gf's friends and other new girls in town. I had the gf and friend fight. The gf should have fought her bf, but she didn't even yell at him when she caught him cheating.
I have another Sim who is actively trying to break up a relationship, so she can get with the guy. He's been slowly coming around after curving her for days.
Use mod constructer, make new trait "Elite". And Every sims who have 'elite' trait get great benefit with there career. And make one more trait "Poor". And every sims who have 'poor" trait get great disadvantage with there career. Then poor become poorer , elite become richer.
