Random Questions for Storytellers by @gaiahypothesims
How do you run your games and sims? I’m just always curious how it works for other people.
Do you have massive households of all the sims in your story?
Do you rotate households?
Free will?
How many saves? Do you have multiple families/ clone families for each save in a different location?
Is everything you do very planned out?
(Feel free to answer on your own page and @ me!!)
********************************************************************************
I do have massive households that I create for certain scenes so I can pose and control as many Sims as possible. Households of 20 are common. The scene I am shooting at the moment at the Pony has 21 Sims. Half are at the gym, half at the Pony.
Anita and Saffy’s big night out at The Grind is going to need about 30 Sims on the lot, so I have cloned the club and moved it to SV which is more stable than Bridgeport and has never crashed on me (yet). It’s a scene that is taking me forever to plan and execute but I hope it will be worth it in the end!
I rotate households to a small degree for my story. This way I am never, ever bored, but I sometime wonder if I have taken on too much, particularly as I am always adding new households. For example, I need to create a new household in Starlight Shores for story purposes, probably for a single scene. I could stage it in Bridgeport, but that would feel too *cheaty* to me. The scene is supposed to take place in SS, so to SS I will go.
I am sad I cannot devote all the time to my households as I would like, and I’m thinking primarily of Naomi here, and also Audrey and Persephone. I would also love to play Roy’s brother Douglas and uncover the identity of his mystery woman, but sadly not enough time. I am determined that Naomi’s story will be told, but it needs a lot of time and planning to do it justice, and I just don’t have that at the moment.
I have all my characters futures planned, but nothing is cast in stone. Inspiration can strike at any time, and destinies are mutable. I may have had a storyline planned for a long time, but I will have no qualms about abandoning it for whatever reason if it doesn’t feel ‘right’ when I’m executing it.
I have approximately 4 saves for each world, and each world contains clones of my central chars.
I never played with SP on. It horrifies me tbh. I had very bad experiences with it early on and it drove me straight back to Sims 2.
That said, I do occasionally play with free will on when I’ve finished taking pics for my story, and as I have mentioned in passing several times the thing that has always amused me the most is the animal attraction that Jojo and Sonia have for each other🤣🤣🤣 But usually I am the micromanager from Hell.

so how did starlight become the storm queen in the Shimmerverse
Starlight as storm queen doesn't have a full backstory in SV, mostly bc the canon storm king doesn't have a backstory either and didn't really need one. And yes, Tempest still works for her - I'd link to that post but I'm on mobile lmaoEverything else is largely the same - this change was just to give starlight a more dynamic role bc the one thing I was interested in her was why she was so dang powerful but the show never really went into it, so I figured why not give her a role where her magic can come into play more readily. And bc the canon storm king is just not intimidating.

When you ask sims to leave a bachelor/bachelorette party and then this happens... 🔼 (waiting another 3 sim-hours for all the sims to get out the door)
Daughter’s drawing on the wall (awwww, that’s their small family!!!) 😌 🥰
Birthday party in the backyard 🥳 🥳 🥳 (Beau Andrews -🤡 💩 -wasn’t invited, but he somehow infiltrated the party just to laugh at my poor girl)
Just completed Lifetime Wish (Master Acrobat) and the audience seems to be cheering for her too 😁 🥳
Taking time off work to celebrate the “one year anniversary” (daughter is already a teen, buy okay) with karaoke, a play at the theatre, dinner at the bistro, treehouse fun and fireworks...aaaand starting a fire in the backyard. Not their best date, for sure.
Celeste has been partnered at the prom with Laron Koffi (Gobias Koffi and Zelda Mae’s only son) and I kinda approve. Was expecting it to be one of Wan-Goddard’s two sons, but apparently the game knows better.
Was worried that Celeste won’t have too many colleagues in school with EA’s lazy story progression so I loaded up NRaas SP on fast settings. Ended up with 24 teens and about 11 children on their way to age up. Lord knows how many babies and toddlers were also created 😂 🤣
Overpopulating Sunset Valley like a boss... 😎
(let’s see how I’ll get myself out of all the potential issues this maneuver might generate in my save)
“Ugh, Mom, Dad, will you behave at least today?! You’re embarrassing me!”
------------------------------------
Showtime being the 😭🤬🤯😳🤡🤪 EP that it is, has managed to corrupt my sim while in Starlight Shores by making her unclickable. Every time I’d try an error script would notify me about some random sim that didn’t even exist in the world (had them all listed with MC). Nothing worked: reset the dude, reset her, reset everything, etc. So, as a least resort, I tried to move her via phone to Sunset Valley. She was CURED. Was apprehensive about it lasting too long, but I’m already far into this save and nothing weird happened (well, except for the Showtime venues that I placed in SV glitching from time to time. Already removed them after completing her LW. Pity, as I wanted the daughter to become a Vocal Legend).

man i really wish there was more of a clear incentive to do the classes in scarlet and violet besides just some exp candies at midterms and finals. i know i'm just some completionist nerd who cares too much about the characters in pokemon games but the classes really surprised me with how much i loved a lot of the teachers, and it makes me sad how many people who aren't also completionist nerds just don't do a single one of them!! i mean, raifort, aside from being a huge mythology nerd and a really intriguing vaguely sinister and volo-like but possibly just overenthusiastic character imo, tells you the lore behind the four treasures of ruin and got me super interested in that story and made me hope there was gonna be a postgame quest about it. and then later she marked the locations of the shrines on the map for me. her classes are genuinely really neat and interacting with her is beneficial to both the lore and the gameplay. saguaro has this super neat little arc of trying to hide his love of things like sweet foods and cute phone cases because people see him as this big tough guy and he's spent his whole life believing he has to maintain that image, but he ends up realizing he should just be himself and people will still love him for who he is, and then he gives you a slowpoke cup. hassel comes from a long line of dragon tamers and was expected to go on to lead his prestigious family, but instead rebelled and became an artist, and was almost persuaded into quitting his job and returning home before realizing that all he wanted was to continue nurturing young and curious minds as an art teacher. doing his classes also helps you learn quite a bit about brassius and the friendship between the two of them. dendra is this excitable and hotheaded battler but then it turns out she also has a really sweet friendship with miriam, who she really looks up to, and is a hilariously terrible cook but works hard at having saguaro teach her to make good sandwiches specifically so she can have miriam try them as a way to repay her for everything miriam has done for her. and miriam is trying to get certified to become a health teacher and ends up passing her exam in the end!! and idk, at first i did expect the teachers to not really have much personality to them and the classes to just be a way to teach new players about the mechanics and stuff but then i ended up genuinely enjoying going back to the school and doing a handful of classes/teacher interactions between each story event i did, so i could get to know all of them and their stories.

omg FINALLY AAAA
after 132 eggs and several days of being very annoyed at being the only person in my friend group to not have a single shiny despite all the exploring and egg-hatching i've done, i got the shiny pawmi i've been going for!! gonna name her meilin after mei from turning red... even though the pawmot on my team is already also named after her because the design reminded me vaguely of her before i knew what the shiny looked like lol. it's just too perfect for the shiny.
#pokemon scarlet and violet#starlight plays sv#also i was listening to i'm not okay by mcr when this hatched#so i'm convinced it's a lucky shiny hunting song now

AWWW katy was kofu's apprentice, that's such a cute little detail... i'm glad we actually do get to see a bit more from the gym leaders in the postgame, they all have such fun personalities this time around.
#starlight plays sv#pokemon sv spoilers#still REALLY think it's a shame that they don't have like actual gym designs that are unique to them instead of the courtyards though#and i wanna see what katy's patisserie looks like :(

okay so, i think the biggest part of my hangup with both paldea and hisui as regions is that i like pokemon's dense, route-based design and i will take a well-designed and rich linear world over a comparatively empty open world, and a small route that's packed with things to find around every corner over a giant field full of nothing other than pokemon, every single time. i really have been having a lot more fun in paldea than in hisui and just loving all the different types of environments, loving seeing all the different pokemon wandering around, swimming, sleeping, and hanging out in groups, loving the beautiful designs of the towns and cities and loving that i can seamlessly go to them without loading screens. but god i miss environmental obstacles in pokemon?? i miss forest mazes, i miss caves filled with a bajillion confusing ladders, i miss enemy team bases with weird warp pad mazes and grunts all over the place, i miss rock smash puzzles and strength puzzles and cut puzzles and things that i actually NEEDED my hms or my ride pokemon to get past. in PLA and SV i pretty much only need to ride my pokemon to get places faster or cross a river. and even with the presence of towns and cities, the areas in SV still just feel so needlessly large to me and don't really have that many neat landmarks or unique elements that make me think "ooh i wanna go see what this is!!" and what actually caused me to stop playing and write this post was that i got extremely annoyed trying to find all the trainers in a certain area because the area is just too big and it's too hard to tell where i am and where i've been because everything looks too samey and honestly there aren't enough trainers spread across such ginormous areas and dammit where are the last 2 trainers already??
also i've run this point into the ground by saying it so much but i just wish the towns, as beautiful as they are and as glad i am that they exist, had buildings we could go in and more unique things to do in them. even if each town just had one Thing each like maybe artazon had a museum, levincia had a department store, cascarrafa/porto marinada had a hotel, etc, that would go a long way in making them all more interesting and making me stick around in them for longer. i hate seeming nitpicky and overly critical because i'm very much having fun with SV and i think it's gonna end up being the best game since sun and moon for me (largely due to the writing tbh) but i still have so many issues with the way gamefreak approaches the concept of an open world pokemon game and we are a long way from having "breath of the wild but pokemon", even if we're making progress.
#idk if this post is even coherent. i have been playing pokemon on and off all day lol oops#but i wish there werent so many open world games that fall into the trap of just. not having nearly enough to Do to justify being so big#PLA + SV also would've been such good games to bring back secret bases in!!#imagine doing union circle and you and your friends explore your secret base together??#sorry i just wish gamefreak had several more years to make this game#also i wish they would've given me things to collect like the spiritomb wisps and the old verses from PLA#starlight plays sv#pokemon sv spoilers

nemona is so passionate and sweet and she may not be my personal fave but i'll fight anyone who is ever mean to her, i had said before that she comes off as a lonely kid who latches so hard onto the MC as a friend because they're the first person to indulge her love of battling and not think she's weird or intimidating and that's more obvious than ever with these scenes. she seemed boring to me at first but she definitely has some interesting things going on with her character.
