The Sims Medieval Bard Inspiration and Themes Guide

The Sims Medieval Bard Inspiration

In “The Sims Medieval” the Bard hero is able to write poems and poetry. To write these documents, the hero must first have inspiration to do so. The Sims Medieval bard inspiration is only able to be obtained by the bard and is non-transferable or sellable. It is something that each bard really needs to stock up on so they will always have something to write about when they need to write a poem or play.

There are two ways that the bard is able to obtain inspiration. First, the bard could ask another Sim for inspiration. They will receive inspiration depending on the type of Sim that they ask. For example, a priest will give the “Watcher” inspiration and the wizard could give the “Magic” inspiration theme.

The second way to obtain it is by clicking on a location and seeking inspiration there. Depending on the location, your hero will collect different types of themes. For instance, if the bard is surrounded by nature, they could receive the “Nature” theme as their inspiration.

Types of Inspiration

For a bard to write a poem or a play, they need to have inspiration in the form of themes. The bard is able to collect these themes and use when they are inspired to write (or when a quest or daily responsibilities inform them they need to do so).
