A Personal Guide from Addison

Hey there, fellow Simmer! Addison here, and if you’re like me, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as seeing your Sim’s hard work pay off in royalties—and maybe even a bestseller! Whether you’re guiding your Sim to become the next literary icon or just enjoying the art of storytelling, I’m here to share my personal tips and tricks to help you crush it in The Sims 4.

Step 1: Build Your Sim for Success

First things first, set your Sim up for greatness. I recommend choosing these traits:

  • Creative: Your Sim will get Inspired more often, which is perfect for writing.
  • Bookworm: This keeps your Sim happy while reading or writing, which is essential for staying motivated.
  • Ambitious: If you’re aiming for big goals, this will help your Sim push through tough times.

And don’t forget to pick the Bestselling Author aspiration. It gives your Sim the "Muse" trait, boosting their Inspired mood. Trust me, this makes a difference!

Step 2: Create the Perfect Writing Space

You can’t expect your Sim to write the next SimCity Times bestseller in a messy room, right? I like to:

  • Add a computer in a cozy, decorated room with a desk and a comfy chair.
  • Place inspiring decorations like paintings or the Plumbob-inspired lamp for an environment boost.
  • Apply the Home Studio lot trait to make creative activities (like writing) even more productive.

Pro Tip: Use a Thoughtful Shower before writing to get your Sim into the Inspired mood!

Step 3: Master the Writing Skill

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a bestselling author. Start small:

  • Use the computer to Practice Writing regularly.
  • Level up by writing simple genres like Children’s books and Poetry.
  • Gradually move on to more complex ones like Mystery, Fantasy, or Science Fiction.

If you’re in a hurry to level up, grab a Writing skill book or attend a Writing class in town.

Step 4: Publish Your Work Strategically

At first, you’ll only have the option to Self-Publish, which is great for starting out, but don’t stop there!

  • At Level 5, unlock Sell to Publisher to earn better royalties.
  • By Level 9, you can submit to Literary Digest, which pays the highest royalties.

I recommend always saving your best books for the Literary Digest. It’s a bit of a gamble, but when they accept your work, it’s a game-changer!

Step 5: Keep the Momentum Going

Not every book will be a bestseller, but consistency is key. I’ve found that writing regularly, especially in genres your Sim loves, improves the chances of hitting that bestseller jackpot.

Oh, and don’t forget to complete your aspiration milestones! They unlock cool perks like faster writing speeds and increased royalties.

Step 6: Enjoy the Fame and Fortune

When your Sim finally writes a bestseller, it’s such a proud moment! You’ll see a pop-up notification, and the royalties will roll in daily. Who knows—your Sim might even become famous, and fans will start recognizing them in public!

So, there you have it—Addison’s personal guide to writing a bestseller in The Sims 4. Remember, the journey is just as fun as the destination, so enjoy every keystroke and royalty payment. If you follow these tips, I have no doubt your Sim will be the next big name in SimLit history.

Happy Simming and happy writing! 😊
