Well, I’ve been getting a little tired with my Legacy Family right now, entirely my own fault for being crazy enough to go for the “Have 10 Children” want, but things are progressing a little slowly there, so, for when I am needing a break from them, I have set up a new neighbourhood, which will be running as some sort of experiment into various things.
For each Sim, I will roll a dice to pick one of their four Wants (5 or 6 will be re-rolled), then lock this want in. When this want is fulfilled, I will roll the dice again to pick another Want to lock in. And here comes the experimental part: I will only tell the sims to do things that will in some way directly help them fulfill their locked want. Everything else, they will be running completely on their own free will. (Although I may have to waive this rule a little for a few essentials such as paying bills and doing homework). Anyway, I’m hoping that this will be entertaining, and I’m sure it will be highly unpredictable.
