The Watcher’s Journal - This journal is intentionally chaotic—because so is your gameplay.

A journalized Sims zine experience that’s both funny and useful, but also leaves space for personal weirdness, storytelling, and messy saves. 30 print-friendly pages. It’s part journal, part record keeper, part scrapbook, part zine, all rolled into one. Make it your own. There’s plenty of space for screenshots, stickers, family trees, and tracking those baby daddies (you’re welcome!)

There’s more to come:

Sticker Sheets

The Occult Tracker Pac

100 Baby Challenge Logbook

Legacy Family Tracker

The Forever Save Survival Kit

The Collector’s Tracker (bugs, frogs, fossils & unfinished obsessions)

And more surprises are coming soon…

You’re not in control. But now you have a clipboard.

Available tomorrow! July 25 on Patreon and Ko-fi

this is a tracker i made for the not so berry 2 legacy challenge by @simmer-emsie. this is the pink version because i didn't wanna go too crazy with colors and graphics but you can request another color if you want to. (the one with the theme colors should be out soon)

here's a little demo:

here is the link for it. file -> make a copy to edit

i made it so that clicking certain boxes makes other boxes check off, so the reason (for example) that you can't click the checkbox for max out knitting, charisma, and piano, is because you have to click the individual ones under skills as they happen for the one under rules to be checked off.

Boba Tea Tales Legacy Challenge Spreadsheet Tracker!

Hi! I made a spreadsheet tracker for @malixacc's sims 4 Boba Tea Tales legacy challenge! I saw it and thought it was super cute, so I immediately knew I wanted to make a spreadsheet for it :P

Find it here!

To use it, make a copy and then fill it out however you want!

[rachirdsims]

Welcome to the “written” rules of The Super Sim Challenge! First things first, I did not create this challenge! There is a similar challenge called “The Perfect Sim Challenge”, see the challenge rules here, but there is also the Super Sim Challenge done by James Turner on YouTube, which can be found here.

This is PART ONE of at least two parts. With the news of the Sims 4 having packs being released indefinitely, I will be writing the challenge in parts, which is especially helpful so the rules don’t change with every pack. Part one is a big undertaking, so get ready! To keep track of what you have done you can use Jame Turner’s Super Sim Tracker (JT) or you can use the spreadsheet I made for mine. It’ll force you to make a copy for yourself and you can find it here: Super Sim Checklist (Book 1)

Since the challenge is SO LONG, I have created a Google Doc with all the information. If you are interested in reading or doing the challenge, click the link below :D

No more waiting, let’s talk about what y’all are here to see

Footfall Devlog 4

This Devlog will be covering the basics of what Footfall is and the challenges of making a game so heavily inspired by immersive sims.

So, without further ado:

What is Footfall?

Footfall is an occult-industrial stealth-action rpg inspired by Dishonored and Mistborn. It aims to emulate the systemic ecosystem and emergent gameplay of immersive sims, particularly the fast, creative, movement-centric gameplay of Dishonored.

If this sounds interesting to you, the free playtest is live! You can find it on itch at https://rotten-shotgun-games.itch.io/footfall-playtest

Genre Convention

If you’re interested in Footfall I assume that you’ve played stealth-action games before: Dishonored, Assassin’s Creed, Gloomwood, Sekiro, Metro, etc. If you have, you know that there are generally two categories of stealth mechanics present in any given game

Player tools & indicators (e.g. Thief’s light gem, Dishonored’s stealth kills)

Enemy AI (e.g. The xenomorph in ALIEN: Isolation changing up their search patterns based upon your actions)

These two categories are mostly separated by longevity. Player tools and indicators focus very much on short term actions and consequences that influence the long term consequences of the enemy AI—I’m including the state of unconsciousness or death as a “long term consequence.” Because the first category tends to (mechanically) impact the second more than vice versa—and because this would be a VERY long essay if I talked about both in detail—we’re gonna be covering the player side of stealth today.

The Indicators

An Indicator in a stealth game informs the player when they’ve been spotted and/or how close they are to being spotted. Some stealth games have a few Indicators that track or reveal different things (e.g. The three lightning bolts in Dishonored tell you how aware a certain enemy is toward your presence and location, and the upgraded Dark Vision lets you see enemy Vision Cones, and guards will yelp and say things when they see a body you left behind. All three of these are Indicators). There are two general categories that Indicators fall into:

Hard Indicators—distinct visual trackers, particularly a UI element (e.g. the motion tracker in ALIEN: Isolation).

Soft Indicators—Narrative elements that convey information in a manner that is less precise than Hard Indicators (e.g. the sound made by your actions in AMNESIA: The Bunker).

While most videogames with a stealth mechanic incorporate both kinds of Indicator to some extent, TTRPGs are a bit different. The more tactical subset of this medium often attempts to provide player characters with a plethora of options for solving problems and overcoming tasks, among these being stealth—but almost every one of these games uses solely Soft Indicators. What do I mean by this? Well, think about D&D 5e’s stealth: D&D has no facing rules, no rising gauge of enemy awareness—hell the only semi-Hard indicator is light level, but that’s pointless because of the non-rarity of Dark Vision. There’s exactly two TTRPGs that I can think of which contain Hard Indicators, that being Blades in The Dark and Black Seven (both of which are really cool) but their indicators are both more long-term and therefore fall into my arbitrarily designated Enemy AI portion of stealth mechanics.

Hard Indicators are crucial to giving the player a sense of control in a stealth game, watching the numbers go up and down in direct response to your actions is the foundation of the experience (and just failing one Stealth check as a transition into full-blown combat discourages wide-spread use of stealth anyway). I decided to include two major Hard Indicators in Footfall:

Facing. This one was a no-brainer, Footfall already has a physics engine that would massively benefit from facing rules, it’s no huge leap to describe how your facing impacts your Line of Sight.

Notice. Notice is a riff on the classic stealth tracker (e.g. Dishonored’s lightning bolts, Gloomwood’s huntsman eye colors) that measures how aware nearby enemies are to your presence and actions, combined with the player-centric elements of THIEF’s light gem. This has led to a more generalized resource, measuring the awareness of all nearby enemies, influenced almost entirely by the individual player’s actions. It ranges from 0 (unnoticed) to 3 (spotted).

A consistent question I’ve gotten asked is, “Why did you make Notice a player resource, rather than something tracked by individual enemies?” Firstly, tracking that kind of resource on an enemy-by-enemy basis is hellish for a GM. Secondly, and possibly even more importantly, making Notice a player resource makes it feel like they have control over their own ability to stay hidden. If it’s a number ticking up and down on their character sheet, then it’s something they’ll pay more attention to and attempt to exercise control over/capitalize upon more readily . . . so long as they have the tools to do so, of course.

Tools

There are, generally speaking, two types of stealth-interactive tools:

Maintaining tools

Capitalizing tools

Maintaining tools help you to maintain or regain your hidden status. Think the lockers in Outcast or crouching in everything. These tools make stealth feel interactive and . . . well, functional. If you don’t have the basic ability to hide, how are you supposed to engage with stealth gameplay? The balancing act with Maintaining tools is in making them strong enough that Stealth feels viable, but not so powerful that the game becomes too easy or other options are immediately discarded. These take quite a few forms in Footfall, the most basic being Line of Sight and environmental interactions (e.g. Cover, Hidden Terrain, Darkness) that prevent you from needing to make a Stealth check or slowly reduce Notice over time. Some Gifted powers are also categorized as maintaining tools, particularly the base powers of Passage, Possession, and Shadows.

Capitalizing tools allow you to take advantage of your hidden status. The most common example is the Stealth kill/knock out. Capitalizing tools make stealth feel worth it, they’re a reward for engaging in this style of gameplay. In Footfall the only explicit Capitalizing Tool is the Coup de Grace, an enhanced Attack that’s far more likely to kill/knock out your opponent in one blow; however there are a million-and-one other reasons to maintain stealth, such as the danger of direct combat, the increased freedom of power usage, the penalties from Enemy Awareness, and the Downtime penalties from killing people (some of this will be covered in the next Devlog).

This brings us around to an underrated topic when discussing Stealth TTRPGs:

Centralization

We can talk all we want about the conventions of the Stealth genre, about the specific implementations of common mechanics and mechanical types, but it’ll only ever be useful insofar that such mechanical theory informs how players interact with the game.

The end-goal here is centralization. Your stealth mechanics, where they do exist, need to impact and influence every part of rules and play. Even if your players aren’t engaged in Stealth, that decision needs to be put in context of and conversation with Stealth gameplay.

If I’m not constantly thinking about the light I’m in and the sound I’m making, I’m not playing Thief.

If I’m not constantly working to get to higher ground and hidden terrain so that I can ambush enemies, I’m not playing Assassin’s Creed.

If I’m not thinking in relation to Stealth, I’m not playing a Stealth game.

Self Promo

Hey y’all, sorry about the long wait on this one. The playtest is finally public, and we’re halfway through talking about stealth! The next devlog is gonna be about Enemies, which are a whole can of worms.

If you wanna check out my other games, and get updated when major changes come to the Footfall playtest, follow me on Itch! If you're just looking for more Footfall status updates, or want to have an impact on the design, you can always join my public Discord.

Sims 4 Legacy Tracker - Obsidian Notes

I woke up and decided I wanted to make the perfect tracker for a TS4 Legacy Challenge (or at least, perfect for me). Everything is set up and theoretically updated for For Rent and Crystal Creations. Please let me know if there's any errors!

Features:

Sim template with space for general information, traits, skills, aspirations, education/career and images.

Easy to use and customise (with a link to Obsidian's help centre for people new to Obsidian or Markdown).

Ability to link notes (such as Sims) together similarly to Notion.

Copy of the rules and a checklist for the Scoring categories.

Easy family trees using Obsidian's Canvas feature.

Examples beneath the cut of how it looks!

Download via Google Drive.

To use the Obsidian vault, extract the "Sims 4, Legacy Tracker" to somewhere easily located. You can rename it freely.

DO NOT remove the subfolders/files from that folder.

Open Obsidian and from the Vault screen, select "Open Folder as vault"

Open the "Sims 4, Legacy Tracker" folder.

Done!

Left: No customisation, exactly how the vault comes. Right: Using the Tokyo Night theme + Task Progress Bars community plugin + new font + tweaks to how the "family tree" canvas looks.

[guentzel]

i think im gonna do a challenge for the sims 4??? bc i lost all my save files and need excuse/motivation to rebuild. so i think im gonna build a house but restrict which packs i can use. like base game + city living only kind of thing. if a pack isnt capable of building a house (ex: spa day, dine out) ill build something relating to it.

under the cut is a tracker thing im doing. all challenges will also have access to base game content in case the pack doesnt have a certain object (ea why do you release packs without toilets). discover university, for rent, tiny living, and city living will be the only ones with additional/modified challenges.

probably going to update this list by crossing them off as i do them, maybe rb with screenshots ???

Finally finished my Very Veggie Google Sheets Challenge Tracker with 🧠 smart tracking that configures itself to your packs and preferences.

Find links on my LinkTree for more info!

[racheysims]

Hi Rachey! I'm having a lot of fun playing a rotational save with your guidelines & systems! The tracker is really helpful and I love it. I'm wondering, how do you handle & organize the population tab once Households being to merge? Mine is looking like a hot mess already 😅

Glad you are having fun with this challenge! I made an example spreadsheet. But If 2 households marry I just add them under one household. And separate each household with a grey line. Hope that helps!

Best used when you have a lot of mods and need to track which ones you already updated or if you have a lot of bookmark links for your favorite CC creators that is taking over your browser. - Pre-filled with base game data.

You can download my free template here or here. Feel free to leave an ask for questions or suggestions. More previews under the cut.

I couldn’t find a good Notion template that included Collections and Challenges goal checklists and a way to track the progress of every Sim and household I play, so I could easily keep up with who’s doing what (esp whenever I take a break from the game for a bit). Most templates I found only focused on one thing. So, I decided to create my own All-in-One Sims 4 Gameplay Planner & Tracker, and I hope someone else might find it useful too! I feel a little nervous about sharing this, but honestly, I know this template will never feel done if I keep it to myself. I’ll just keep endlessly tweaking the design. I hope you like it!
