Bored, Inspiration?

[shmarty]

Hello! I have playing sims for quite some time, and just recently I seem to have lost intrest in it. Don't get me wrong, I think I will alwats love my sims game heart I just haven't really been having fun playing it. I know this happens to a lot of other sim users, and they find ways to re-intrest themselves in it.

Any ideas? Please, and thank you.

Hmmm... you could try making a new hood with a theme? Here's a medieval themed one that I love reading about.

But then here is another inspirational small hood that is just beautiful! I wish I could do something like that, and I probably will one day. This site in particular will be closing up after the end of the month though. sad Sad because it was always so inspiring.

That's another tip, try looking up other sim blogs to inspire you.

You could also try different challenges. There are shorter ones out there than the legacy challenge.


That's all I can think of right now. Putting the game down for a while and doing something else might not be a bad idea either. You might pick up a book and it might inspire you to try something new.

Like I just read The Foundation by Isaac Asimov for the second time, and it made me want to make a hood inspired by that. It won't be the same thing, may not even be in the future, but I'm taking cues from the story. blaugh

what about a romeo and juliet themed neighborhood? i know that it lacks originality, but you could do it with your own characters. or even with characters from games or tv shows. (like i have the akatsuki from naruto, and Organization XIII from kingdom hearts 2)

I was thinking about doing the legacy challenge but it has SOOO many rules, and I wouldn't be aloud to us cheats! No cheats? No thanks you, lol. Thanks for trying to help guys, I think I might just put my game away for a while.
Don't worry! I'm sure I'll still be lurking around this guild. xp

Maybe you could make people from your favorite TV shows and bands as Sims! I dunno; usually works for me, though I can never get them to look right. sweatdrop

Eeee! *Tackle huggs Hae* 4laugh I didn't know you were here!

I go through that too! I get so addicted with sims that I'll play it for days... even weeks straight... then suddenly I'll be bored for with it and not play it for weeks/months. I think that's something every simmer goes through. xd
