Make writing a novel more worthwhile?
Marvin Kosh:
Given that novel-writing consumes a great deal of Sim time, and doesn't help with maintaining mood as painting or playing the piano does, and basically has a fairly low yield money-wise, I was thinking of maybe tweaking it a little. However, I haven't found anything that looks tweakable. Has anyone else, maybe? :)
Ancient Sim:
I would love to see this provide FUN, in the same way as painting a masterpiece does. Surely if a Sim enjoys writing and wants to write, they would gain pleasure from it? I gain an enormous amount of pleasure from writing, otherwise I wouldn't do it, so it seems silly that Sims can't if they're that way inclined. I'd also love to see some way they could give their novels a title, maybe even have them available to buy by other Sims, but we'd need an expansion pack for that. Would be a great expansion pack actually, The Sims 2 Creativity, or maybe The Sims 2 Fame & Fortune. They could write blockbuster novels, paint masterpieces, create new culinary delights, that sort of thing, and become famous. I'd like that.
veilchen:
That's one thing I can't understand either. Why doesn't writing novels provide fun? I agree, writing is fun and seeing your work take on shape and form is very fulfilling. I do tend to obsess over my papers, but even that is fun to me. My writings do not have as wide an audience as yours Ancient (not even close), but there's nothing more elevating than people telling you they enjoyed your essays, papers, stories etc.

Yeah. Writing is fun, even if you're just messing around with it. For me, anyway.
It'd make sense if a novel made more money than a painting, but it doesn't. Annoying.

I'm not sure that even necessarily applies in real life. After all, really valuable paintings are sold to people with more money than sense, but novels have to be sold in volume to peasants, and the only one getting really rich is your publisher.
