World Building 🛠️ Adam's Garage

Hey friends! How's your week been? Hopefully this post finds you all doing well 💛 My computer had to go into the shop for a few days, so I've been doing a lot of content planning during the unexpected downtime, mapping out ideas for what I'd like to share with you guys over the next month or two.

In my most recent post, I promised to start taking you guys behind-the-scenes as I build up my saves for the stories I want to tell. I swear, more than half of the work in writing a Sims series goes into building sets–there are so many good poses out there, but nowhere to take pics. That's the problem with using alpha-cc, you can't just grab a lot off the Gallery and dive in 😂 but I'm sure you know the struggle.

This is supposed to be a short teaser, so let me jump in before I find something else to ramble about 🤭 I'm remodeling this house–originally built by the mega-talented Helgatisha–for my character, Adam Hawke, a disgruntled cop who lives in Bridgeport (my fictional version of Atlanta, GA). The name of the lot is "Inner, Loner Detective," which could not be more fitting. 😂

This man won't tolerate a scratch on his bike or a stain on his perfectly white sneakers, but the dump he lives in? I mean...look at it 👆 Rotting away in an old, neglected neighborhood. At least it's quiet, and far away from everything and everyone–which is important for a man with as many enemies as he has. 👀

Chomping at the bit with a bunch of WCIF's? I got you! In my upcoming BTS deep-dives, I'll be sharing comprehensive mods lists for each of my various projects to share with my patrons here. If this sounds like something you're interested in, please consider becoming a supporter! Your support allows me to put more time into creating content for you to enjoy and to inspire your own storytelling. ✨

I have read all that text, and I am very confused. Is it just some story? I im interested in if this is some kind of add on for restoration build buy stuff. English is not my native language.

Hi! Yes, it's a teaser from the world I'm building for my story. All of the CC you see in the photos is accessible from other creators. I'll be sharing a comprehensive CC list for my patrons at a later time!

This is really cool! I usually have backstories for my people too, so this is really fun to see.

Hi! Thank you so much! I was thinking after I posted this that I wasn't sure how many people would be interested in posts like this one so I really appreciate you taking a second to comment!! 🤍 I'm hoping the other BTS posts I've got planned will immerse you into the worlds I'm crafting and-by extension-inspire your own creativity :) I'd love to hear about your backstories sometime! Let me know if you have a tumblr or a spot where you share your own stories. I'd be happy to follow along!
