Do You Like To Premade Sims Or CAS
I love getting to know how other people play their sims games. Not really to judge them, but more because it's always interesting to hear different answers and to see different perspectives. This is t...

Do you like to play premade sims or create your own?
-I like all Sims whether created by me, premade by The Sims team or randomly created by the game.
Do you make stories out of your sims, play sims for challenges (ex: Not So Berry or challenges you make for yourself), for science reasons, play for achievements or just play the ts3 without really any personal goals? I guess to narrow it down, what kind of simmer are you?
-I do not create stories for my Sims, rather I let their own stories unfold. I merely document their journey. As to what kind of Simmer I am, I can honestly say a curious one. I am not their God, nor do I wish to be. I'm merely a person who sits in front of my computer and engages with an intelligence whose end goal is to emulate human emotional life and behaviors to the best of its ability. My role is to help it through guidance.
When you play premade sims, do you edit their facial structures and or their traits (I unfortunately do this sometimes) or just leave them how they are? And do you change their outfits and hairstyles or do you let them wear whatever is randomly given to them?
-It depends on the Sim. Yes, I alter some Sims appearances. I give some makeovers and others I totally remake. The reason isn't to beautify all Sims but rather to remove some horrible obstacles facial feature programming causes. I do this with traits as well, when necessary.
Do you have more than one save (Like myself) or do you focus on just the one save?
-I have a massive amount of save files. There is literally one save file for each Sim household/family of the worlds I play. These files are only used when I am working with a Sim or Sim household. Once the household is complete, the Sim is saved to the library (.package form) and their save file is zipped for storage, and they are added to my rotational game (for that world).
Do you have a favorite sim(s) you absolutely love to play (premade or self made)?
I don't make a Simself or Sims of real people whether known or unknown to me. I also don't have a favorite Sim or Sim family. I love/like/accept them all for who they are in a non-comparative way. Even the Sims whose personalities or behaviors I dislike, I love just the same.
What is your favorite thing about ts3 or your favorite packs?
-My favorite thing about TS3 is the autonomy system once the Learning system's AI has been properly engaged. The expansion pack I like the most is World Adventures because it brings so much to the game in terms of gameplay and objects. My favorite stuff pack is Master Suite & Diesel, I love the clothing options.
What lifestyles do you usually pick for your sims if you make them? (ex: chef, gardener, firefighter, medical etc)
-My Sims, through their development pick their own lifestyle. I may start one with hopes of being them chef but if during their development they show signs of disliking cooking and enjoyment for something else, I will change whatever is needed to help them achieve their self-goal, be it a trait or traits, lifetime wish or location. My goal is to help them climb Maslow's hierarchy to become the Simulation they wish to be.
How long have you been playing ts3?
I played the Sims 3 on console long before I purchased it for the PC. I've been playing this game on PC since 2012.
