Career Writing Questions
I'm exploring an idea for using careers, not as "careers," so much, but as stories that lead the player to make choices that affect regular play. I've used Bidou's to edit some careers, but I'm looking to do something more ambitious now. I have a few questions so would like to start a discussion. The first is probably easy. What is this part of Bidou's editor that is pointed out in this image? What does it do? In researching how this is done, I have looked at quite a few of the picked careers on here, but I don't think I've seen one that uses this section.
Second, I know how to use $Me, although I much prefer the ones written in second person (to "you") and I've seen this
http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?tit...20Substitutions, but are there others I could use that would work without writing a test for them? It would be nice to name a random member of household or the hood or a community lot, for example.
Third, are there any more current tutes on careers? Some of these are pretty dated.
Has anyone else used careers the way I'm thinking of doing it? More as a way to guide stories? I'd be interested in hearing from others who've done interesting things with them. I'd be interesting in hearing from someone who is just really into career writing, too. What you've learned? What you've enjoyed?
And, kudos to @crookedhalo for the career I've pictured. It's really well-written - love it!
