So, I've always wanted to do a save file project, however, I'm WAY too much of a perfectionist to ever complete one on my own. Like, I have one build that has been a WIP since 2020 (it's basically my magnum opus at this point lol).
Anyways, I thought it would be fun to perhaps start a community-led safe file project with a massive group of simmers who also would need 5 lifetimes to complete their own save file project.
If I do start this project, I have no idea how I'd execute it. That said, I made that post for that exact reason -- to see what ideas you guys might have for coordinating a project this big. Also, I figured this would be a great time for me to see if anyone would be interested in said project to begin with.
Some logistical ideas I already had
- Coordinating through Discord
- Having people sign up for different types of roles (builders, cas creators, lore developers, etc.)
- Probably also using Google docs to coordinate intersecting ideas
- A Google form to see what packs simmers have in common the most (Could reveal creative freedom we didn't know we had)
- Another Google form to see if we want a theme for our save file, also if we want to keep/bring back classic sims characters or create our own
Some creative ideas I already had:
- Complex families across multiple worlds. I would LOVE to make huge use of the R&L Dynasty system.
- Established relationships across sims, establish skills and careers.
- Little crafted items that allude to a household's lore. Like a painting named after an estranged lover or a published book about a family's secret heirloom that can actually be found on another lot.
- Lore unique to our save file
- I don't care what world she lives in, but I need a widow that has left a trail of "missing" husbands lmaooo
So yeah! That's my idea so far, please let me know what y'all think and drop your ideas! If the reception here is good, I'll probably update this post to let people know how I'm proceeding!
