MySims Showdown

💎 The Totally Official Unofficial MySims Survivor-Style Competition Game Show! 💎 created by @metallix85. this project is currently only a proof of concept, but this blog will update sporadically the more i work on it. EMPHASIS ON SPORADICALLY!!!! [ id also like to note that i swear sometimes in these blog posts so watch out for that if it makes u uncomfortable!! 😭]

[mysimsshowdown]

my names metal (@metallix85) and i wanna do smtn for this poor franchise since it never gets any attention from anyone besides the 3 hermits living in EA's walls (myself included)

ive had thoughts of making a neat lil survivor/BFDI style game show with the mysims characters!! thats like 2 of my fav things of all time and i feel like the world of mysims would lend itself well to a contest format. idk if i'll totally commit to it so rn this blog just exists as a space for me to post my concepts and see if ppl are interested

i first came up with MSSH back in march. the idea is that mc emi (from party) is the host and she invites 24 sims to a resort for a cool vacation, but also promises them a prize...the power of an essence master!!! basically making the show's winner a demigod

it wasnt meant to be public. At first. but i realized i had something really cool on my hands and wanted to share it. im writing ep 1 rn and wanna work on doing some proper art for the characters. the series will be done in a pseudo-visual novel style. my closest analog is the fuckin. Siivagunner christmas comeback crisis LMFAO. first couple episodes might not have voice acting because i couldnt imagine anyone lending their vocal chords to a MySims Fan Project in the year of our lord 2024. ive decided on a cast already and have a couple episode ideas in the oven

probably gonna start posting more concepts and scraps as the days go by. heres a bunch of funny moments from episode 1

keep ur ears peeled if this is the kind of thing ur interested in!

SHOWDOWN SPOTLIGHT #1

hey its metal and welcome to showdown spotlight! these will not be done regularly at all but as i brainstorm what i want this project to even. Be more i thought id just post some behind the scenes snippets to that ppl got a clearer idea of what im workin with here. heres a bunch of details from the outline doc; namely episode titles, the final teams, and most exciting of all,,challenge ideas!!! woo!!!

the show being contestant vote (the contestants eliminate each other instead of the viewers voting on it like an object show) means i have Complete And Total Control and i can plan out all the story beats and character developments and whatnot without worrying about something going awry because everybody decided to vote out a character i was building something with LMAO. that means i have a lot of neat ideas like this in storage i can dig up and fall back on!

ive not decided a set order i wanna do these challenges in. i keep goin back and forth on all of them because GODD theyre so fun they sound so fun to just write and do and AGHGHHGH i just wanna get this thing out there somehow even though i know like 2 people are gonna care. its MY BIRTHDAY PARTY and I GET TO PICK THE HYPERFIXATION

anyway, onto the teams. when i was working on deciding the teams i wanted them all to have kinda a "Thing". in my head it was like...Franklin is all the, in my eyes, "fan favorite" sims (and also chaz.) besides cassandra those are all characters that have appeared in multiple games and have a decent following from what i know. dj candy and violet appear in Every Fucking Game theyve earned this. Eureka is the goofy wildcard team, a bunch of characters that dont really fit together trying to make it work!! and then The Uhhhh is the result of morcubus trying to make a team out of morcucorp operatives but yuki gets distracted and leaves for another team because she ate the fuckgn contract and therefore doesnt remember signing up to work with morcubus, and theyre left with the fuckin. table crumbs nobody else wanted LOL. poor lyndsay

curating the cast of showdown was really tough because i had to leave out a lot of my fav sims, like summer, beebee, mel, nichole, sapphire, rosalyn--and i know ppl are gonna be questioning why some iconic sims like travis arent here. like bro I only have half of the royal academy on the show thats wild LMAO.

truth be told, 24 contestants is not ENOUGH to represent the love i have for these characters, but the 24 i picked id say strike a good balance between MY personal favorites and generally beloved sims. u may notice i try to address this by having some of these characters play significant roles in challenges!! and i hope that strikes a good balance :)

showdown still has a long way to go and im not totally sure if itll be more than just an idea rn, but im loving working on it and i hope i can get it out there one day!! if ur one of the aforementioned 2 people reading this then thank u very much and i hope u have an awesome day
