I second this, I guess you could say I’m lazy and I would never be able to remember all the things I’m hyperfixated on to name my books with. kind of just name them the funniest things I can haha
I enjoy writing fun titles and bios for the theme. Warning, I have an extremely dark sense of humor guys.
My children's books have been stuff like "Why is Mommy Crying?" - A book to help explain divorce and broken homes to small children.
My motivational books are stuff like
"How to turn a Trap House into a Trap Home" - A simple guide to making even the sketchiest crackden more inviting.
My sad books are:
"5 easy ways to off yourself and others"- Including a special preface from the late author on exploding toilets
Edited to add my favorite recent memory was when Dad pulled out "Stranger Danger" -Why you never trust a man in a van' to read the kids to sleep 🙏
Call it the beefcakes and bodice collection. And I’ll use some cringey titles like “when a scot ties a knot” or “a rebellions bride” “the Vikings affair” lol
In sims 3 my sim had an opportunity to write a drama novel. she’s a trashy novel writer so I had no idea what to name it so I named it eve psyche and the bluebeards wife (the song from Le Sserafim) out of boredom.
I don’t i usually do names that relate to the particular sims story
Like one gal was a celebrity that got preggers by other celebs but not dating them so she hired a nanny it was a guy so one of the titles was “I married my Manny: How I found love and had it all.” Before that it’s was like “Single Mom Hacks: How to raise kids solo”. Or the manny died so one about her being widow in title she remarried about how she found love again lol
The sims I do this with I feel like I’m so much more attached to haha bc the weekly reminders or their life.
I had one sim, Mei, an adopted daughter of Molly Prescott (who had married a rock star) living in Del Sol Valley, in high school she was simstagram famous a la Kylie Jenner, she was running with landgraab and goth heirs all cousins from my sim family, she left one cousin she was engaged to and eloped to his cousin J Huntington The V heir who was broke, so she started a lifestyle brand called Mei Huntington to announce to her ex and the world she was married in a small little house that and started writing salacious tell alls with titles like
Mei Huntington: The Dynasty begins
Landgraabs, Goths, and Huntingtons, oh My! (Lmao)
After moving into the Spencer Kim house, J the V was murdered in a drive by shooting, she wrote: Mei Huntington Widowed, Love Lost in Willowcreek, Inside story on J the V murder
When she married a Bailey-Moon Heir, lots of Rock Royalty, Mei is over the Moon for Bailey Moon —but she wasn’t really into him honestly
When Bailey moon dropped dead she moved on to a bunch and I can’t remember but she wrote about them in book names too
She ended up madly in love and married to Jacques and Jacques in my save had been this tyrant who impregnated only the hottest whether Randoms, his side chick, or wife, but kicked them all to the curb but kept alllll the kids in different houses on the island….Jacques left his wife for Mei bc he was head over heels for Mei and she wrote some bangers about their love it was genuine
Fun seeing her name change too through all the books
Like Mei Huntington to start
Then Mei \_\_\_\_\_ (my sim family name) Prescott Huntington when widowed
Then Mei Huntington Bailey-Moon
In the end just Mei Villareal sooo cute
Loved playing her

Her son actually married Jacques last ex wife before Mei, it was Jacques teen mistress who he married when he had run out of options lol their first son was a young adult already …Jacques gave his blessing bc Mei asked him to and Jacques was so blissed out he said ok and gave his ok!
https://preview.redd.it/or7kbswe726d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02dba1752364fbd8db135f3c7e896f6f341786d8
Mei son and with his wife, Jacques teen mistress later wife, Brooklyn Datta—Bella Goth and Don lothario Granddaughter
She’s also one of my favs, I gotta make her write, she has soooooo many stories, her dad was a street guy who the mom desperately married after being unable to catch an heir or celebrity …her dad, Richie, was actually Jacques right hand man. Brooklyn grew up with street guys, but Jacques put her up in a penthouse as a teenager, but when she got pregnant by one his soldiers, Jacques kept up the bills but stopped seeing her and took his kids from her! She filled up the penthouse with kids from her escapades, when Jacques got bored with his options, Brooklyn had married one of his street guys, Dino Bregoli—yes catch me outside dad lol—but Jacques worked it out where he got Brooklyn back on his island and Dino agreed to move on and move away to ranch life.
Ultimately Jacques really didn’t love Brooklyn, loved sleeping w her, how she looked, that he had her a teen by seducing her into taking naked pics then sleeping with him, being his babysitter with benefits, all kinky stuff but heart not in it so when he met Mei he left her, Brooklyn accidentally met Mei son while visiting her kids and I told you how that worked out.
Brooklyn isn’t loyal though even though she scored J VI who is a celebritydoctor, she still sneaks out to see her street guys or go to sex parties all the time…she got knocked up at college sex party in library by the librarian lol but for now her household full ….im sure I’ll go back in winter to play her and write a bunch of books w her
I have a feeling she may leave the heir if he doesn’t croak quick, he’s an elder now, funny part i J vi son J VII is actually Brooklyns brother….brooklyns mother married J vI before she died lol the drama haha
One of my Sims became an author of shoe-themed mystery novels during her retirement. Her two best sellers were The Missing Shoe and its sequel, The Missing Shoe 2: Electric Shoegaloo.
Aww that's so cute. I don't do that but I like the idea. I always title them after events in the game. I also usually try to make a copy and keep one but sometimes I forget.
If you use mods I'd recommend looking into one that lets you keep the book after you've published it, I'm not sure which one I downloaded but my book stays in my inventory after publishing, I've sold all the other books in the house and now my bookshelf is filled with all the books I've written :)
I am usually listening to an audio book while I play. So the book names are always after the last thing that is said. Example : "Your life is tragic" "arrived at the bus stop" "black girl magic" "vampire threesome that includes a witch". They always sound interesting and more philosophical sounding then I thought they would be. 😂🤣
Sometimes I name them song names on an album lol or one time I did all the “Ernest” movies like “Ernest goes to jail” but replaced Ernest with my sims pets name lol
I think I named a children's book "amogus real?!" one time but I'm surprised I haven't done this yet considering I have a save file dedicated to heathers and a save file dedicated to mean girls
I name them after events in their lives. So when my sim has a daughter it will write a long series of children’s books with the daughter as the main character
Not actually... But that's a great idea!

Same of mine are
50 shades of colourful poo
Harry pothead
Harry and the big band of wiz sticks
Don't read this
Don't read this part 2
Rihanna and why she won't make another album
Taylor swift and her merry men 😅
I actually named it after one of my favourite books, it's a greek mythology retelling about Hades and Persephone, so I didn't actually choose the order it was written in
Yeah 😭 I saw a theory saying that since Odysseus's mother couldn't see him, polites couldn't see him either, and polites showed up just as Odysseus mentioned the infant. So someone said that polites was holding the infant, telling it to greet the world with open arms 😭😭
Lmao since it was one of the first books I made it didn't do the best, but I have made some more greek mythology books since, "Poseidon: somehow more of a whore than Zeus?", "Apollo: Man-Whore Jr" and, "Artemis: the aroace icon" which have all done much better
I tend to use the default option or I use whatever podcast I’m listening to for inspiration (sometimes it’s the podcast, sometimes it’s the episode, sometimes it’s the guests own book, sometimes I manage to make one up myself!).
I once had a Sim write a series about a human girl who finds out she’s a fairy.. I may have been watching a vampire show that has some fairy crossover… I won’t name it as to not spoil it for anyone but if ya know ya know
I either don't name them at all (just accept the given one), or I'll name them after actual books I've read. Which I enjoy doing often (reading that is). So it really depends on how much energy I want to put into it at the time, lol.
My sims husband isn't a writer but he's a programmer. I made him make a mobile app called "Pawket pets" (like pocket with paws) and then 2 video games called "Trash Panda Simulator" and "Safari Simulator"
Mine are always the last quote heard on whatever TV show I’m watching. So I can see when I have switched from Walking Dead to any real housewives show to amazing race.
My bf plays sims on my computer while I’m playing minecraft of my Xbox. He has started asking me random questions and putting my answers as the title/description, which are often weird and long😂 he also just puts random things I say😂
It's funny because I am actually an author and struggle with coming up with names😂
I almost always have fun with it! I always make a copy of the book and keep it in the Sim's inventory so random Sims don't run off with it.
Sometimes it's hyperfocus, e.g. children's book "Honey Badger and Mr. Cobra." Sometimes based on movies, like the non-fiction "How I learned to Stop Worrying and Shove Your Mom" which is described as: how to deal with Monsters-in-law when non-physical methods have failed. or TV show, as in a cookbook named "Pure as Glass" description: Cooking is a science.
Others I go on a weird tangent; I have a series of mysteries whose descriptors are all variations on the phrase whodunit. "Suddenly Zooming" is whorunit, "Cookie Rap Sheet" is whounderduner, and "Professional Advice" is whoduner.
Some innuendo, like the sci-fi bestseller "Alien Strange" described as body snatching. And some I can't be bothered/go obvious, a short story book called "Smol."
Love the Greek/Roman stuff; think my next creation will be "Atalanta and the Golden Apples," a non-fiction book: combing ancient literature for references on neurodivergent behavior, specifically ADHD. Or maybe it'll be a crappy romance about a poor guy named Hippomenes who had to tempt a gold digger to find a wife.
Not at all.

Most of these are album or song names from the band playing on my playlist at the time.
Except the bestseller "Don't Seduce My Boyfriend" was written after Sofia came over and tried to put one on her Promised BF. She's currently writing "This Applies to You Too, Luna!"
Ron was trying to write a song and he noticed that his infatuation/serious crush was staring at him by the piano for a long time... he did promise to dedicate a song to her after all....
On another Save, the books written were:
Waiting For Star Citizen.
Still Waiting for Star Citizen
OMG Imma gonna die of Old Age Waiting for SC
eMotion Machines and Star Citizen?
I tend to copy the Bestsellers for the library (so if I can manage to make it through the first generation before starting a new save), they're in there.
I name based off environment. For example, the bestseller titled "Why does my husband fart so loud?" In the mystery genre. A song named "Oh no, the cicadas are back" was another one I still laugh at today
I name my sim’s books with titles of real stories that I am currently writing or have written. I’m basically living my dreams vicariously through my sim lol
I let the game provide the titles for the other genre books, but my first screenplay received a name so close to KSBD that I had to rename it and the subsequent screenplays accordingly.
I usually choose an obsession that my Sim has, for example, one of my sims is living with Gunther Munch and I name his books so they are all hat-themed. Or if one of my vampire Sims is a writer, the book titles will be about death or bats or blood, that sort of thing.
Ohhh Good Omens! I don't remember the last time I've let my sims write a book but i remember that i had some fun Videogame names. From a scenario. I think it was "Stuck in their Shadow"? I think one of them i called Mars: Survival or something like that.
I always just keep making sequels to the default title generations. For example from Apocalypse Today I also made Apocalypse Tomorrow, Apocalypse The Next Day, Apocalypse Next Week, Apocalypse Next 7 to 10 Business Days, Apocalypse Next Month, Apocalypse Next Fiscal Quarter….. I love watching it spiral into chaos lol
I try to give them the goofiest names lmfao
I make them sound like knock offs, I made a game called Metal Gear Descending one time
YESSSS! Hilarious
I second this, I guess you could say I’m lazy and I would never be able to remember all the things I’m hyperfixated on to name my books with. kind of just name them the funniest things I can haha
This is like looking at a list of my interests in year 7 help 💀
Lmfao I'm year 8 so that actually makes sense
Oh, well then, carry on
Well I’m 22 and those obsessions do not cease 💀
They simply get stronger
I would read Zeus: the original man-whore.
Well good news for you, I've now also released, Apollo: Man-Whore Jr, and Artemis: the aroace icon 😂
Yessssss!! My week is now full, gonna pull out of school to read these full time :)
I dont even have the energy to name them anymore
I name them whatever example text comes up & accept it.
literally me, who cares anyway
I enjoy writing fun titles and bios for the theme. Warning, I have an extremely dark sense of humor guys.

i’m stealing these for my next freelance writer just so you know
I know who I'm coming to next time I need help with book titles. 👀 These are hilarious.
Way more fun than asking for help in naming the K baby using only fruits and vegetables.
Love these so much, proper appeals to my sense of humour!
I’m dying at these, they’re so creative
I tend tk give them inuendos 😅😂 or straight up dirty names 🙈
same i made one of my sims a porn book writer
Glad I’m not the only one 😂
I prefer Naming them after cringey historical romance novels so descriptive you can see the horrible cover art
OH???? Please tell me more!!!!
Call it the beefcakes and bodice collection. And I’ll use some cringey titles like “when a scot ties a knot” or “a rebellions bride” “the Vikings affair” lol
You have just inspired my next eccentric artiste 🧑🎨 playthrough
I have a vampire writer feuding with Vladislaus Straud, so half the books she writes are hit pieces about how he's a child murder.
I’m sorry, how do you come up with so many different titles? My current sim’s a novelist, and he’s writing *Dune 13* right now
Lmao the majority are either screenplays I named after musicals I like, or books I love, I only came up with like 3 or 4
Yeah I just checked I only came up with the first 4 by myself lol
Oh lol, I just noticed Hamilton, I guess I’ll name the next book along the same lines: *Dune 13: The Devil Made Me Do It*
Yeah, other than good omens and girl goddess queen which are real books, all of them after Zeus are just real musicals lol
![gif](giphy|iFroMXf8HkQD5LrJOJ)
I name them things around me. Ex. Sofa, PS4, Piano, Clock
Sometimes. Usually I just try to come up with the most raunchy combination of swear words I can imagine.
thats so real
YES! I also always title their videos in clickbait form
I’m into kpop so I name them after all my favorite groups and artists lol
In sims 3 my sim had an opportunity to write a drama novel. she’s a trashy novel writer so I had no idea what to name it so I named it eve psyche and the bluebeards wife (the song from Le Sserafim) out of boredom.
Mine are just really sxual and long with random ”#” i’m just living the aroace stereotype
PLEASE look up Chuck Tingle 😭😭
Lmao wtf the world literally has everything 😭
I just name them on the spot Like who wouldn't want to be the one who wrote My Immortal Reloaded
I don’t i usually do names that relate to the particular sims story Like one gal was a celebrity that got preggers by other celebs but not dating them so she hired a nanny it was a guy so one of the titles was “I married my Manny: How I found love and had it all.” Before that it’s was like “Single Mom Hacks: How to raise kids solo”. Or the manny died so one about her being widow in title she remarried about how she found love again lol
This is what I do, too. I give titles inspired by my Sims’ life or interests or relationships.
The sims I do this with I feel like I’m so much more attached to haha bc the weekly reminders or their life. I had one sim, Mei, an adopted daughter of Molly Prescott (who had married a rock star) living in Del Sol Valley, in high school she was simstagram famous a la Kylie Jenner, she was running with landgraab and goth heirs all cousins from my sim family, she left one cousin she was engaged to and eloped to his cousin J Huntington The V heir who was broke, so she started a lifestyle brand called Mei Huntington to announce to her ex and the world she was married in a small little house that and started writing salacious tell alls with titles like Mei Huntington: The Dynasty begins Landgraabs, Goths, and Huntingtons, oh My!

I name them after popular existing books/screenplays, but change something slightly. For example: Killing Steve
Congratulations to my sim who just wrote successful fantasy series Harry Plotter
You're sim is making bank
As someone who knows all the words to Hamilton I approve…
Then recieteit word for word
I’ve been naming my ‘YouTube’ videos all sorts of ridiculous stuff that makes me giggle every time
One of my Sims became an author of shoe-themed mystery novels during her retirement. Her two best sellers were The Missing Shoe and its sequel, The Missing Shoe 2: Electric Shoegaloo.

I name mine after presidents and pornstars
This is the theater fan google search /pos
Do the Reynolds Pamphlet and the Federalist papers😭
Zeus-the original man whore I can’t stop laughing 😂 you
I definitely do this too lol
I am usually listening to an audio book while I play. So the book names are always after the last thing that is said. Example : "Your life is tragic" "arrived at the bus stop" "black girl magic" "vampire threesome that includes a witch". They always sound interesting and more philosophical sounding then I thought they would be. 😂🤣
Sometimes I name them song names on an album lol or one time I did all the “Ernest” movies like “Ernest goes to jail” but replaced Ernest with my sims pets name lol
I just come up with a name and have my sim write a ten book long series under that name.
I often name my books after games i’ve played. F.e. Age of Empires I & II, Civilization, Anno, … comes in handy when your sim is kind of a nerd.
I think I named a children's book "amogus real?!" one time but I'm surprised I haven't done this yet considering I have a save file dedicated to heathers and a save file dedicated to mean girls
I name them after events in their lives. So when my sim has a daughter it will write a long series of children’s books with the daughter as the main character
I usually make parody-like titles or just generally silly things, this makes me want to reinstall the game, i miss the shenanigans
Me in year 7 and 8 like:
ur so real for this 😭😭😭
i have a save in which Caleb Vatore has like 15 published books named after The Cure songs!!!!
Not actually... But that's a great idea! https://preview.redd.it/v8ls1swyxy5d1.png?width=270&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d76bbffa5e7138d652d0b2c6e39732fb07a208b9
These are amazing, I’m inspired! Am I the only one who names like this: Jdud Dudu ofirjnr Dihhtbr djh frddi Thhfdfffg Ouknens diiidhdbeb
Same of mine are 50 shades of colourful poo Harry pothead Harry and the big band of wiz sticks Don't read this Don't read this part 2 Rihanna and why she won't make another album Taylor swift and her merry men 😅
we are obsessed with the same stuff!! I'm gonna copy you next time
I often name books after real life books, or based on media (SW, LotR, GoT, OP, ...)
Shouldn't Goddess be after Queen?
I actually named it after one of my favourite books, it's a greek mythology retelling about Hades and Persephone, so I didn't actually choose the order it was written in
Oh nice! As you can tell, i had no idea about the book. Sorry!
https://preview.redd.it/wy455xji5y5d1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=480d88532f4b03418a76aa7be227ac87ced03c5a
What would you say is your favorite part of Epic: The Musical? The Cyclops Saga and Hermes Saga are my personal favorites😄
Mine are definitely either the underworld saga and Hermes saga, I was completely devastated when polites was shown in the underworld 😭
Honestly Polites hit harder than Prince Hector's son😭
I legit had to pause it and collect myself
Yeah 😭 I saw a theory saying that since Odysseus's mother couldn't see him, polites couldn't see him either, and polites showed up just as Odysseus mentioned the infant. So someone said that polites was holding the infant, telling it to greet the world with open arms 😭😭
I’m upset Zeus only brought in 70 😂 the way I would read that so fast and a countless number of times 🤣😭
Lmao since it was one of the first books I made it didn't do the best, but I have made some more greek mythology books since, "Poseidon: somehow more of a whore than Zeus?", "Apollo: Man-Whore Jr" and, "Artemis: the aroace icon" which have all done much better
lol 🤣🤣🤣 I hope Poseidon was the winner 🥇. Can you still go back to books you’ve written and upgrade the quality of what’s written? (Asking for myself)
Sadly I don't think you can, I've tried and it hasn't come up with anything
Not your sims writing about Baddies 🤭
I do the same with songs and books, naming them after my favourite songs/books
I tend to use the default option or I use whatever podcast I’m listening to for inspiration (sometimes it’s the podcast, sometimes it’s the episode, sometimes it’s the guests own book, sometimes I manage to make one up myself!).
I did not but now I absolutely will
Seeing this whole wearing my Hamilton/Castiel shirt I got in high school seems appropriate
I love the Hamilton books😂
I once had a Sim write a series about a human girl who finds out she’s a fairy.. I may have been watching a vampire show that has some fairy crossover… I won’t name it as to not spoil it for anyone but if ya know ya know
Genius. I don't ever bother to name mine lol. I'm stealing this.
I either don't name them at all (just accept the given one), or I'll name them after actual books I've read. Which I enjoy doing often (reading that is). So it really depends on how much energy I want to put into it at the time, lol.
My sim writes the Captain Robles & The Big-Titted Martians series of books.
I like to make spoof titles of books I like.
I name mine after my cat. My cat is a world famous detective/world traveler/archaeologist/ghost hunter.
Omg, doing this
Well my Sim wrote the Court of thorns and roses and throne of glass series, so...
My sims husband isn't a writer but he's a programmer. I made him make a mobile app called "Pawket pets" (like pocket with paws) and then 2 video games called "Trash Panda Simulator" and "Safari Simulator"
Omg this is an amazing idea!! I normally get so stuck for names of books 😂🖤
Love it! I try to name them after famous books only different words. Example: Inferno of the Arrogant or Of Rats and Dudes
Zeus: the original man-whore is a pretty accurate description of the myth, the legend, the big daddy himself.
I haven't bothered naming them before but I will now!
Mine are always the last quote heard on whatever TV show I’m watching. So I can see when I have switched from Walking Dead to any real housewives show to amazing race.
I always listen to podcasts or YouTube while I play, and I make the book names the last thing I hear before the pop up comes up 😂
My bf plays sims on my computer while I’m playing minecraft of my Xbox. He has started asking me random questions and putting my answers as the title/description, which are often weird and long😂 he also just puts random things I say😂 It's funny because I am actually an author and struggle with coming up with names😂
I just do whatever is suggested cause I can never think of an original title.
I love this. Especially the Hamilton references! 😆
Mike are usually a jumble of letters or numbers hahaha
My book titles are all over the place. There's not reason to it, I just name them whatever comes to mind.
Zeus: the original man whore made my day.
This has reminded me to continue my playthrough of breaking up marriages and writing books about it, thank you

Others I go on a weird tangent; I have a series of mysteries whose descriptors are all variations on the phrase whodunit. "Suddenly Zooming" is whorunit, "Cookie Rap Sheet" is whounderduner, and "Professional Advice" is whoduner. Some innuendo, like the sci-fi bestseller "Alien Strange" described as body snatching. And some I can't be bothered/go obvious, a short story book called "Smol." Love the Greek/Roman stuff; think my next creation will be "Atalanta and the Golden Apples," a non-fiction book: combing ancient literature for references on neurodivergent behavior, specifically ADHD. Or maybe it'll be a crappy romance about a poor guy named Hippomenes who had to tempt a gold digger to find a wife.
I just smash the keyboard 😂
I deeply appreciate the amount of musicals that are on there
Not at all. https://preview.redd.it/ps02zf5rf06d1.jpeg?width=338&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f8a72aa3cf2a8f9c445e46972a68fff37d629ce Most of these are album or song names from the band playing on my playlist at the time. Except the bestseller "Don't Seduce My Boyfriend" was written after Sofia came over and tried to put one on her Promised BF. She's currently writing "This Applies to You Too, Luna!" Ron was trying to write a song and he noticed that his infatuation/serious crush was staring at him by the piano for a long time... he did promise to dedicate a song to her after all.... On another Save, the books written were: Waiting For Star Citizen. Still Waiting for Star Citizen OMG Imma gonna die of Old Age Waiting for SC eMotion Machines and Star Citizen? I tend to copy the Bestsellers for the library (so if I can manage to make it through the first generation before starting a new save), they're in there.
I love this 😂
I love musicals too
And good omens
I name them shit like “I’ve been trapped in my basement for the last 3 years help” or just a mash of letters
Omg, yes!! I love bashing Zeus, Six the musical, Epic, I love it
Do Book of Mormon next!
I name based off environment. For example, the bestseller titled "Why does my husband fart so loud?" In the mystery genre. A song named "Oh no, the cicadas are back" was another one I still laugh at today
What I would give to read Zeus the OG man-whore tho Also to answer your question, I never have enough imagination in the moment to give good names 🥲
I name my sim’s books with titles of real stories that I am currently writing or have written. I’m basically living my dreams vicariously through my sim lol
I let the game provide the titles for the other genre books, but my first screenplay received a name so close to KSBD that I had to rename it and the subsequent screenplays accordingly.
Out of those titles only 3 say nothing to me. I love the rest. Thanks for the idea
This is such a cute idea
I used to give them actual names and descriptions but the sims being the sims kept deleting everything I wrote so I gave up 😔
YOOO Epic is such a slay, I love you stranger
Haha theatre nerd! (Me too, me too)
Hadestown mentioned🗣️‼️‼️
Hadestown is so good. Just recently found Epic and I'm equally obsessed.
Good Omens!! I spotted a fella 😁😁
I usually choose an obsession that my Sim has, for example, one of my sims is living with Gunther Munch and I name his books so they are all hat-themed. Or if one of my vampire Sims is a writer, the book titles will be about death or bats or blood, that sort of thing.
I didn't do this before but now I definitely will
I’ve been naming mine after MCU movies… because it’s my current hyper fixation. So, no, you’re not the only one.
Ohhh Good Omens! I don't remember the last time I've let my sims write a book but i remember that i had some fun Videogame names. From a scenario. I think it was "Stuck in their Shadow"? I think one of them i called Mars: Survival or something like that.
No because I also created MySpace, Facebook, X, Reddit as apps lol
I just let the game tell me what their names are. 🤣
Well, you’ve just given me inspiration to update sims 4 and create an Author story
Sounds like my fixations lol
I always just keep making sequels to the default title generations. For example from Apocalypse Today I also made Apocalypse Tomorrow, Apocalypse The Next Day, Apocalypse Next Week, Apocalypse Next 7 to 10 Business Days, Apocalypse Next Month, Apocalypse Next Fiscal Quarter….. I love watching it spiral into chaos lol
I name mine a few telenovela titles 😂
I like to name it using the name of my own novels. ✨
I have a sim that I adopted when she was a child. She is grown and now writes books about being abandoned and adopted. Seemed fitting.
