The Freewill Experiments

This blog is inspired by the game play style of SelahFreeAtLast who basically lets her sims run around and do their own thing.

I started playing this style as an experiment and got addicted, though it is very hard to resist the urge to play god.

Basically, you start a new game, populate it with townies, CAS, exchange sims, whatever you fancy. I randomise all traits so as to make it more interesting. I use “freerealestate” to move them in and then if you want babies, etc, it is a wise plan to stock the house with the necessaries as a discrete “hint” to your sims. Not that it always works out the way you want it to!

Then the fun begins. Switching households, you check up on your charges to see how they are getting along.

Unfortunately, some Simmies are completely useless which requires the “Hand of Pixie” (inspired by my friend moondaisy’s “Birdie”) to intervene.

This dabbling *cough* will be kept to a minimum, but sometimes they do need a nudge along with regard to relationships or getting their butts off the couch and getting a job!

Mostly I will just comment as things happen, but I might on occasion add some dialogue for comedy sake or whatever.

Anyway, let’s begin… Pixie is desperate to start practicing the “wrath of the gods”.

P.S. Scarletsimphony asked me about Story Progression hacks or mods.  I thought I should mention that I have no hacks or mods in my game and this SP is happening according to EA’s default version of it.
