📩 Simblr question of the day: are there any of your sims ocs that existed in another story/medium before they were sims? @simblr-question-of-the-day
Answering an older question because - yes! Sax appeared in a dream I had about 15 years ago! I was so fascinated by his character that I started writing about him to try and learn more. He's been living in my brain for a long, long time. I've made several attempts to write a novel about him; the latest version stands at around 40,000 words.
When I first got Sims 4 three years ago, I made him and the other characters from the 'novel' and built their little cottage. At first I just had fun staging screenshots and watching them interact, while posting my pictures on Instagram, but a friend and storyteller gently nudged me into trying my hand at Sims storytelling. Back then I knew very little about CC, only had two packs, and couldn't make my own poses or edit, so the Sims story quickly deviated from Saxen's original story and became its own thing that fit within my constraints at the time. I like to think of them like Howl's Moving Castle the book vs. the movie: same characters, same setting, but (mostly) different plots. 😅
Discovering Sims storytelling has been amazing for me, because I used to be such a perfectionist. I've never published or even finished a story because it was never good enough - I'd always scrap it before the end and start over. But three years later, I'm nearing the end of this Sims story, and although I know it's FULL of holes and bad writing I've genuinely enjoyed every second of it. I've allowed myself to suck at something and that also means I've learned how to improve. And I've met so many wonderful people due to it, too!
