Boring sims games

I tend to play sims with the more boring route (at least that's what my fellow sim friend says), meaning I play sims households rather normally like raising kids and beating careers and such instead of playing with supernaturals (though they are fun) or crazy slave sims and such. Does anyone else play like this? Or do you put more spice into your games?

  • If you don´t get bored, who cares? Everyone can play their game in a way that makes them happy.

    My sims tend to have kids (because one of the things I love most is the moment of "how do they turn out?").
    I created two sims to be adventureous to really explore WA. They have now four children and live in Sunset Valley. I think, they were in China, once. I got bored of the quests and the skilling and the tombs kind of scared me. So they ended up being domestic, and that seems to be the way that I play.

    I love supernaturals, most of my families have them. Still trying to get more hybrids, only have one alien/vampire yet. A fully skilled witch can raise the dead and make them alive again.
    The game often gives me surprises and ways to go, like inapropriate elderly Teagan MacAnna kissing one of my sims at a party in my legacy save, and him going completly bananas for her. So a youth potion had to be made, ingrediences had to be found, to make Teagan young again to have children. She dislikes children. It was fun.

    High free will and trying to fulfill the wishes of my sims often have interesting results. Nraas storyprogression makes my towns alive.

    My sims are happy most of the time. Making them happy makes me happy. Wow, yes, that also sounds boring. :D

    It's now a door, that comes as part of Grim's mansion. Of course it might not work. Either being Clumsy or having a Death Flower are suppose to be sure fire ways to prevent the sim from getting reaped early though. Of course death flowers are Special plants so require high gardening to grow. And might be hard to acquire the seeds for if ya don't have a Swiftgro on your lot.


    I think you mean unlucky. Unlucky sims get saved, but not clumsy sims.
  • Might, most of my clumsy sims are also unlucky losers. Considering I had one die five times on the first sim-day, yeah that was a very unlucky sim. Meteor at game start, lightning strike on the way in from the meteor crater to the front door, fire in the kitchen, Murphy bed at bedtime... All around a bad day for the poor sim.

    Was your sim named Dean Winchester by any chance? And was it a Tuesday? Also I had no idea you could die to a Murphy bed. Lmao this game is the best.

    The joy of TS3 is you can play the game anyway you please. Being sandbox means you have considerable choice and scope. So if you are happy playing "normal" households then carry on. On the other hand if you fancy a change, and most of us do at some point, then the choices are there for you. You might be pleasantly surprised by the change. Personally I have enjoyed played a variety of different households and currently supernaturals are among my favourites but my all time favourite is Baby Doll and there is nothing supernatural about her family :D .
  • It's rare, but there's a chance the bed can kill when it falls and lands on the sim or closes with the sim inside. Which makes it safer then real ones. And no, the sim wasn't Dean Winchester. Her name was Shanon O'Day. On the 2nd sim day she drowned in her bathtub twice in a row, drowned again at the public swimming pool, ranted at death, got electrocuted by the tv, then died in a hailstorm. And capped it off with her bed killing her, again. At that point I decided to give her up as a lost cause.
