I've had the same idea in my head for two weeks to take a book that I enjoy reading and try to turn it into a Sims storyline. The book in question is Memoirs of a Geisha; it's my all-time favorite novel and I could read it every week without ever getting bored. I recently re-installed WA and really wanted something different to do.
I've never tried to do a serious project like this, and while I know I wouldn't be able to re-create the book page by page, I'd do a loosely-based storyline for others to read.
Turning the novel into a Sims story would definitely be challenging, as I'd need to really think of the plotline, the rules for the challenge (such as which skills a "modern geisha" would require in the Simverse), etc.
For those of you who have done stories like this, any interest or advice would be greatly welcome for this forum newbie wanting to try something different... or if you simply want to know the book's plotline, I'll be glad to PM you or make another post.
(Also, if this is in the incorrect category, I apologize; if I can manage to organize this novel challenge for myself, I would be posting the story here anyways)
