Sims 2 Battle Royale location?

[strange_tomato]

I've been thinking again about the possibility of a Battle Royale type story using the teen characters from Sims 2, and wondering where to set it. An abandoned Twikii Island, perhaps? The mean streets of Sims City? If anyone here has read the book or manga or seen the movie, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Or even if you haven't, what

Oh, I would *love* to see this! The story was set on a small, rather deserted island - so you could make somewhere like Takemizu Village more abandoned looking for the story. Or Twikii Island, since then it'd be an island XD

Takemizu Village is another option. I'd like it to be a recognizable Sims 2 location, so the vacation hoods seem like good choices.

It could also take place in one of the neighbourhoods, perhaps. Belladonna Cove has an interesting landscape and a nice variety of lots. I could see it working, too.

IIRC correctly, in the novel, the place where the Battle Royale happens *is* usually inhabited - the people were just moved out for the game. Because there are houses, a school and that sort of thing that some of the students hide in. I guess it just depends what you want to do with the story.

[strange_tomato]

Yes, that's right. People were kicked out of their homes for the game to take place. It would almost be more interesting if some of the teens had lived there before it was abandoned. They'd have the added horror of seeing their home destroyed in the process.

Ooh, that actually sounds quite interesting - taking a place that some Sims would know and having it desolate and deserted. Really, I think any Sims location would work if you are going to do that - it is just picking from the various options! :D

I saw you mention a worry about portraying the violence and blood. I'm not really sure what options are out there for violence and posing. I've seen a few pose boxes, but I guess you could just show parts of a sim, and describe the violence. Or close shots of arms, weapons and that sort of thing to portray the violence.

I'm really excited to see this - even if it doesn't follow the book/movie/manga it is an awesome idea to put the Sims teens in that kind of situation. LOL, I just have an image of Tank/Ripp/Buck standing up and saying, "But our Dad is in the army! He wouldn't let us be chosen!" XD
