Hey guys! So maybe this thread has been made before, but I find myself always making the same story with creating a girl who then falls in love with a guy and they have a family and create many generations. I would like some ideas for more creative storylines to try out. I'd reallyyyy appreciate it if any of you guys gave me ideas you thought of, stories you're doing, etc.

You could also try working on the girl's backstory. I find it way more interesting to play Sims with an actual story to them - so maybe start a child from teen, kid or even toddler age and go from there. Create a backstory = do something with their parents, maybe, or a sister. Some family drama also can be very interesting.
I read somewhere an author of my country saying long ago that "happiness is the end of story". Granted, I never define a happy ending, 'cause I know there won't be anything new to explore.

My Mood:
Aaaaand, ACTION!
I'd love to see this story played out by someone!
All the sims err'day
for sure doing this omg thanks:)
Have some good old dramalama to make the story interesting.
Maybe your sim could be a young party girl who woohoos with many guys and ends up pregnant and has to raise the kid in a crappy apartment. She could also have a bad job and not much money.That kid could turn out to be true ghetto kid.
Or if your sim is a guy he could woohoo with many girls and get them all pregnant. Then the ladies would team up against him and give all the kids to him to raise. One guy with 7 toddlers sounds like a nightmare...
All the sims err'day
My sim starts out in new married life with an apartment in the city, all set for happiness. What she doesn't realise is that her new husband is jealous and mean and he is sadly rather horrible to her. When she finally stands up for herself, he throws her out of their home and she has no friends and nowhere to go. She manages to get a job as a live-in nanny looking after a child and toddler for the Bjergsen family. But she doesn't get on with them very well and moves to a new family when she is able.
This time looking after three babies! She sees them up to childhood and the family no longer need her, so she gets a job looking after a toddler with a strange family in Forgotten Hollow. Therein follows the story of how she eventually finds out they are vampires, but they are lovely to her and she finds herself falling in love with the husband. She cannot have him and goes out to have a one night stand in frustration, where she promptly ends up pregnant by Don Lothario.
She has to move out of the vampire home, but has saved enough wages over the years to get a tiny caravan in Oasis Springs. There she raises her new daughter by herself and paints pictures to sell, and pines after Don.
There are plenty of options left open for me to continue the story.
A matriarchal family? All the males are the ones who give birth?
Mix up the happily ever after. If you have Get Together you can make a woohoo club. Hook a few of those premades up with your own sims. Your female Sim hooks up with Mortimer for a steamy romance and gets pregnant. She's noncommittal so doesn't want to get married to anyone but ends up having a baby with ol' Morty. She ends up dedicating her life to raising this child, gets a job as a mixologist, has a small garden, and expresses her creative side through photography. Through out her life throw in a few interesting boyfriends, make/find a few Sims that you want her to best friends with. Of course she doesn't get along with Bella. So there is a natural enemy. Bella's best friends club is the rival club against your sims club. Her kid is a straight C student who prefers the outdoors and playing in the park rather than focusing on his studies. Have the child be an avid collector of void critters, or frogs, or my sims or all 3. Have the kid make best friends and enemies. Turn again on and off as you need so don't feel rushed.
Your Sim was created to be father. He wants to be a dad so bad he can hardly wait to meet someone, get married, and start a family. He wants a highly successful wife so he can be a stay at home dad and dote on his wife and kids. Only his sim life doesn't start out all peaches and cream. Until the day he meets said woman he needs a good job, a good financial foundation, and a small house to get lure said woman in. His first girlfriend wants him take care of her, not the other way around. His second girlfriend is a walking joke who wants nothing else but to be a famous comedian and hates kids. His third girlfriend might be the one. She has a stable job but is a bit aloof about children. Who cares right? They get married. They're lukewarm lovers but he allows her to climb the career ladder and she is happy that he wants to the raise kids. Who could ask for anything more? While she is out he is home, he begins to get lonely, she is a bit embarrassed by him so doesn't want to party with "her" friends. But his friends are "our" friends and he starts to long something more. Divorce is inevitable. He broods over his failed marriage and begins to write romance novels. He becomes a successful author, father, and grandfather.
She wants nothing more than to be THE most popular and have the have successful club and with the most beautiful mansion. She is a hard core perfectionist. She will do anything to make herself look good. There's only one problem. She's sitting in a rat infested apartment with her loser roommate and a 100 bucks in her pocket. She works as a mailroom clerk and absolutely hates her job and the people she works with. She's ambitious so she seizes every opportunity she can to climb higher in the business career. They more friends she makes the more mistakes she makes, an affair with a married man, friends with a criminal, takes a few questionable guys home from the bar. She hates her roommate and they continually fight. The more money she makes, the more she friends she makes, and starts an exclusive club. Here she meets her future husband who is in the political career they have a couple of kids, get a dog and have the biggest, fanciest house on the block. They're strict, overbearing parents who expect nothing but the best from their children. And she has a favorite which puts a rift between her and one of the kids.
Absolutely this. Heck, I even write the stories I come up with then use the game for illustration with screenshots.
For the OP, maybe try a story that's not centered around love, or maybe finding love could be more of a side plot. For instance my main story is of a hero hacker and investigator who exposes and takes down Landgraab's corrupt corporate empire and crooked politicians. As a subplot, he has a lot of secrets, deals with immense stress and deep rooted trauma, which negatively affects his relationship with his girlfriend, and they are either going to work on staying together or go their separate ways.
There are so many ideas to fiddle around with, and if you're into the whole love thing that's okay! But perhaps adding other major situations for your character to deal with will make their stories a bit more dynamic, because even in real life, there are other things we struggle with, experience, and strive for that have nothing to do with love.
My Aerson family started out as an experimental family. A single young adult female named Shelby Aerson. Not much of a backstory since she was supposed to only be experimental. I wanted her to turn the Partihaus club (I have the Get Together EP) into a more risqué club since that’s what I had always imagined that club to be. She’s quickly joined the club and became the leader. I then made it to where the encouraged activities were to flirt, kiss, woohoo, dance, and drink. The outfits for the women were different lingerie and heels, and the guys wore tight jeans and no shirts. After some time, Shelby felt ruined by the club. She felt like she was wasting her life by living under the neon lights of the DJ booth and only finding fun either in the bottom of a glass or in someone’s pants. So she decided to change. She stayed the leader of the club, but she didn’t attend any of the gatherings. She decided to find love, and she found it in Jacques Villareal. She loved her new stepkids. But one day she’s got bored. While Jacques was out, she threw a party at her house and invited Partihaus. She’s remembered how fun it was to live to party, and she killed Jacques with some strenuous woohoo. She bulldozed the lot and changed it into a party mansion for her club. She did realize that the kids shouldn’t be growing up around what she knew to be a poisonous lifestyle, so she had a small family home built to the side for the kids to live in. She became the leader of the Paragons and the Renegades, making them branches of her risqué club. She began a fling with Sergio Romeo and ended up falling in love with him, even though she knew that he was not tied to her since they were both a part of the club. One day though, she got pregnant by him. Knowing the baby was his, she told him, and to her dismay he was far from excited. She had a baby girl and named her Sabrina and had her stepkids take care of her newborn while she continued to party away. After becoming pregnant a second time by an again not-so-eager Sergio, she changed her whole life around. She stepped down as leader of all the clubs, rebuild the house to its original form, put the house in her stepdaughter’s name, and sent the two stepsons to live with the Pancakes (which, now that I think of it, was very unnecessary). She then took $20,000 and Sabrina and bought a small plot of land on an island of Windenburg where she began living off the land. She gardened to earn money, fished for her breakfast and dinner and roasted it over a fire, lived in a tent, and peed in a bush. She gave birth to a baby boy that she named Sony, and then began dreaming of having a large family. She continued seeing Sergio and continued getting pregnant by him, but she never told him. She would just call him over and surprise him with a new baby in a new bassinet. She no longer intended to marry him, but she was completely in love with him. More time passed. Sabrina and Sony were soon joined by siblings Shane, Shaun, Sierra, Selena, and Sydney. Shelby had since began woodworking in order to build necessities like bathtubs for her family, and she eventually broke into her growing funds (building 3 bathtubs a day brought in $3,500 a day! better than having to work your way up the ladder if you ask me) to build a small home for her family of 8. They all shared the 4 double beds in the single bedroom, and there was one couch, three bathrooms, a small kitchen, and a dining room with a table and chairs handmade by Shelby herself. By the time Sabrina grew up, she became interested in the party lifestyle, which her mother (for obvious reasons) discourages her of. Sabrina didn’t listen though, and said she would do better than her mother had ever done with her woohoo club. She reassembled Partihaus and made them even better, replacing that DJ social club hangout in the basement of that really nice night club in Windenburg into a hangout for her club so they could literally live at the club. The hangout had beds, bathrooms, and a kitchen. Sabrina, too, soon felt wasted away by the life she had chosen, and decided to give up the party lifestyle and marry her high school sweetheart. (Around this time, Shelby married Sergio.) She had a baby girl named Sophia and a baby boy named Samuel, after her mother’s 8th child that was kidnapped while the family was away (actually my game just glitched from having 9 people in one household but it’s much more interesting to say he was kidnapped), and that’s as far as I’ve gotten with them.
this is really cool. thanks:)
omg this is actually really interesting tysm ahhaaha
- a childish alien that lives in a cotton candy kind of house, full of toys. She invites kids to play and gain fun mainly from her dollhouse and watching kid channels on TV. This one is so freaking cute
- a comic books villain, a klepto that uses the freeze ray to steal things to make a living. I need to build a bank and create a gang club to raid it together just for the giggles
- lusty vampires obsessed over some human, they need to always keep them under control and the human must be at least under one power effect all the time like that attraction aura, command, make them confused with hallucinations. I have two sisters in love with the same guy, there's some serious sibling rivalry drama with these ones
- mad scientist. Someone mentioned a clone war, I can't believe I never thought about it, gonna try it for sure
Right I feel people tend to limit their stories/creativity on what is possible to do in the game, {Guilty of that} and that's not right.
