Rotation players: question
How many days do you play each family and why?
Forum Discussion
i play a family either until i get bored or if i need to establish some level of development in a family
some families which develop while played as too boring to play will be made leave & make space for new if i can't come up with some interesting life for them
also it depends on the game, what i have in mind, what i want to accomplish
i can stick to a family for several weeks real time, play one for one in game week or just check short how things are from that different perspective
the families are very different, single sims, loners, traditional families with children, unmarried couples, job oriented or just having fun with friends
since TS2 has this wonderful business features so i concentrate here to develop & use a thriving shops community
i play too little with supernaturals, otherwise my families would be even more diverse, a timed schedule wouldn't help, in fact TS2's no progression while not played is quite relaxing, i can take all time i want or speed up, i prefer to play with no automatic aging so that cheat is permanently on
now after i have played TS3 for the longest time of around 6-7 years & TS4 too it seems that my TS2 gameplay changed
i am more aware about the things in this game i didn't realise the first time 2004-2009, i play now more organic & let myself to be spontanously inspired by things, try to use everything there is in the game, even the smallest things & ideas & help with mods if available & needed
for a new game i start i have at first some general idea what i want to accomplish but develop rather later in game first what i can improve & how i can enrich the gameplay
all this contradics a schedule, because the length of time i play one family differs greatly
i think, TS3 was a very big gameplay changer in that respect for me
i have way more fun with TS2 now after i played TS3 than i had at its end :smile:
i stated that already repeadely, before TS3 came out i sold all my TS2 games & never regreted it because i was literally bored with TS2 in 2009,
but now after all the years i can appreciate its values, it is a very dear game to me, i suppose i like it now more than i liked it in 2009 :lol:
