Writers, er... Niche Block?

[Robb Plat]

Hi denizens of the forums,

I'm having a bit of a Niche block. I really have no idea what challenge or experiments I should do in Niche since I already beat everything, so I'm looking for suggestions.

What are some strategies you employ when you have a Niche block, or writer's block? What do you do to make Niche more enjoyable for yourself?

I lay off or try some challenge that could be blatant suicide

[georgie]

try the swamp biome

 

(it works for me every time, that biome is so underrated and every time I do a playthrough there, it makes niche so much more fun)

[Renio2490]

Try surviving in Burning Savannah!

Or whale island... that place is scary.

Or, take a trip to the peaceful meadow and just have a nice time. (I usually do that)

Switch versions, try that dragonfly challenge Lilytuft has!

Usually I try some really hard challenges or some really fun roleplay challenges that spark my creative interest. If nothing helps at all I take a break from playing Niche until I feel like playing it again (currently doing that now though that is partly because I just don't have that much time)

Oh! On one of my saves (actually two), I did this thing where I gave my creatures human names. They were given a first name and a surname, and it was fun determining names for wanderers. When a child was born, the naming order would go like this: [First name] [Mother’s surname] [Father’s surname], assuming either name wouldn’t break the capacity of characters in a Niche name. It was fun and you should try it sometime.

Thanks for the suggestions! 😄

I like these suggestions, perhaps I can try something really challenging.

I could try these biomes too!

Incidentally I have done this, although I merge the names.

If the father is Claw Meowtz and the mother is Fangie Wolff, I would name the child Quick Meowtz-Wolff, for example.

The maternal surname as the middle name sounds like the Portuguese/Spanish naming system!

All my slots are full, have massive tribes on easy-ish islands, and are just successful. The Witch Tribe (Led by Bostonlobstii) made it to Home Island. I am busy with homework and interested in other stuff. I want to go to a snow island but it's so boring because I exit the game before it ever snows. So it never snows. 

I watched Jessi's playthrough and now I want to go to oasis, though.

I haven't played Niche for several days because I've suddenly become obsessed with Sims 4.

I mean, what's bad about going your sister's birthday party only for her cat to die? (Happy Birthday! )

And later trapping the mailman in a glass pen and giving him the new last name of Pettington? (I don't think we're getting bills anymore, which is great )

And then trapping your nanny so they can never leave? (but dear Roger Riggins is the best nanny and I do not regret keeping him from his wife and two kids)

...so now I'm gonna try one or two of these challenges
