i've been back on a sims kick lately. the past few days i've been playing my little polyam fam (ugh i love them lol), but today i came across this challenge on tumblr and it inspired me so much. i created an alien sim, and i have this whole backstory for him, and i even literally started writing out the story. i've probably got a chapter drafted up so far. which is... wild. like who am i.
i definitely want to post it on my simblr, but i'm gonna have to keep the story kind of light to post there... but i have so many ideas for this story, that i'm also potentially thinking of, like, actually writing an actual story? literally what is happening to me lmao. i've never written a day in my life. but i have all this inspiration and i'm actually pretty excited.
so the sims challenge is called the human enough challenge and your alien sim has always wanted to live on earth and then they get there (however you want them to) and you have to have them blend in with society and build their life up from scratch. and i'm super excited to play it with my newly created alien sim xephyr.
the story i've got going for seph is that he was orphaned as a baby and grew up all on his own on sixam (the alien planet in the sims), always dreaming of living on earth. but he knows he's never gonna be able to get there because he has no money for a spaceship. and also because, y'know, he's an alien. he can't just go waltzing down to earth at random.
but one day he's like 'what if i just stole a spaceship and visited.' so he gets the idea in his head and since he passes by the spaceport every day on his way to school he scopes out the spaceships to see if there might be one left relatively unguarded.
after a few days he's starting to think there's no way he can actually steal a ship. but then he spots an abandoned one that's set to be taken to the junkyard, and he's got his ticket.
he sneaks into the junkyard every night for the next few months to fix up the ship.
his whole plan is just to visit for a couple of days so he barely brought anything with him. but the ship crashes as he enters the earth's atmosphere. he lands on a deserted (or so he thinks) island in windenburg. there's a creepy abandoned campsite nearby, so he stays there, surviving as best as he can while he figures out how he's gonna make a life for himself on earth. something he's always wanted, but never expected would happen, and especially not the way it did.
that's pretty much all i got for now. some more backstory about his life on sixam is kinda brewing in my head but there's not much in the way of that yet.
but !! i'm so excited to play and worldbuild some more tomorrow when i get home from work haha. thankfully i get home at 9am so i can literally have the whole day.
oof i'm so ridiculous
