I've been looking everywhere in the internet for that right Sims planner, but they're all catered to only one game, and are missing a lot of stuff. That's why I made this.
I designed The Unofficial Sims Planner, a multi-section, printable digital planner from scratch that helps players easily document and organize all their important Sims households, rotations, stories, builds, worlds, details, and their own ideas and goals. This planner was designed to work for all Sims games and play styles.
This planner is available on my Etsy, Fourthwall and Ko-fi shops.
2024 & Undated Planners
The theme for the planner is COLOR. I see The Sims as this very bright colorful game that makes everyone happy and creative, whether with storytelling, styling or building. Whenever the words Color or Colorful comes up, I always see the colorful and bright pictures from The Sims community. The Sims community keeps this game alive and make it always colorful. I also highlighted an important element in the game that gives color to it: the traits of the Sims themselves.
For the design, I decided it to make it cleaner and more colorful, so the pages are less distracting and more vibrant. Pictures and content from the players should stand out more in the planner.
2023 Planner
For the design of the cover and the inside pages, I took inspiration from the Y2K style, as the game was first released in the year 2000, and has this eccentric and unique charm that fits the styles of the early 2000s.
The pages were also designed as if Create-A-Style from The Sims 3 was sprinkled all over the planner :)
