We call it script style, but really it is a hybrid style. The script style and tagging system make it easier to include people and bounce things back and forth, but we really want to live through the senses of your character. What do they see, hear, smell, or feel? Heck, if they are in the Mess Hall, what do they taste? Set the scene around them. Remember that at any given time, someone who is not following your plot could be reading your sim. Is there enough in it that will let them know what is going on? Descriptive text will go a long way in covering these bases. And I always suggest opening your sim with descriptive text. That is my little nugget of wisdom! | We call it script style, but really it is a hybrid style.
