SimCompass for The Sims 3: Story Bible & Storytelling Toolkit For Serious Simmers
The SimCompass gives you one organized place to remember your Sims, follow their lives, keep track of your goals and turn gameplay into story ideas for what should happen next.
〰️
✨ Keep the stories you've played from becoming a distant memory. Collect your Sims, goals, places, legacies and lore in one organized place.
✨ Balance play and plotting. Track the stories that unfold as you play, build on the threads that spark your curiosity and return to your save without feeling lost.
✨ Play with purpose. Use Identity Cards to create Sims, households, and legacies with stronger identities and a clear direction.
✨ Beat decision fatigue. When you feel stuck or uninspired, use the built-in story generator to find your next story spark and keep playing.

🤔 What's the difference between the SimCompass and the SimGuardian?
The SimCompass is a simple (but far from generic 💕) setup for Notion beginners or Simmers who only want the essentials and a little extra direction for their stories. The SimGuardian is a much deeper, fully interconnected system for die-hard Type-A Simmers who want to track everything in a living archive. 🔥
Both help you keep track of characters, relationships, households, places, goals, achievements, legacies and the stories unfolding in your saves in a meaningful way. You get a complete experience with both. 😊
Choose the SimCompass for simplicity and storytelling support. Choose the SimGuardian for depth and a completely interconnected archive of your Sims worlds. ✨
Sometimes its easier to show than tell, so I've also made videos to help you choose the right one for you:

You can't go wrong with either one. Both were made by yours truly, an organization-obsessed Notion nerd with lots of love for detail and storytelling. 😌

Terms
You need a free Notion account to use the SimCompass. The template is beginner-friendly though you will need to be familiar with Notion to use it. If you’re completely new to Notion, I recommend starting with Notion’s own beginner guides on their website, or looking up a few beginner tutorials on YouTube.
