Hi! I'm not trying to advertise, just letting all know about a new Simming movement called Sim Documenting.

It's basically documenting your sims lives while creating a lovely story about it! You can exaggerate it. The way I personally do it is first person like I am the sim. It's a kind of role-playing/storytelling and you can add pictures, too. If you wanna see an example you can go HERE (http://simdocumentaries.niceboard.com/t1-documentation-rules-how-to) and post your own & read others :)

What's the difference between a documentary and an actual story? A documentary is a sort of story based on a sim's actual "life" moods and events. A story you write or narrate how you like.
Sim documenting is more spontaneous instead of planned stories.
You document. Follow the sim's wishes instead of fully controlling them. You can have minimum control.

I was just wondering if anyone is interested and wants to join it with me? because I'd like to read others, too! :)

Oh I love this! It's simple but effective and frankly the game itself has become stale to me as of late so maybe this might be just what is needed to rekindle some interest again and share simultaneously even if with one other person! Will continue to read and familiarize myself with the post provided and get to something tonight I think! Awesome :)

This has been happening for quite a while, actually (legacies and such) but is a wonderful way to enhance your game.
