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?
A mixture of both.
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 am not a story teller and am not interested in challenges. I play to see how genetics pan out over several generations.
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?
I have yet to see a premade sim that I didn't think needed some tweaking. A lot of premades are, in my opinion, lazily made with one or two features which are extreme and the rest of the slider positions left at default. Not only do I tweak slider positions, I also change, hair, skin and clothes.
I don't normally bother with the bin sims but have, on occasion, given them makeovers (genetic and cosmetic) to see if they were worth playing. Here's an example of one of my makeovers for a bin sim:

Do you have more than one save (Like myself) or do you focus on just the one save?
I tend to have several saves at any given time but do find that I focus on one more than the others.
Do you have a favorite sim(s) you absolutely love to play (premade or self made)?
I have many favourites: self made, premade and born-in-game. Whoever I am playing at any given time is my "favourite" ;)
What is your favorite thing about ts3 or your favorite packs?
The open worlds, Story Progression (modded not EA), and the amazing number of mods which are available so that I can play the game in the way I want.
What lifestyles do you usually pick for your sims if you make them? (ex: chef, gardener, firefighter, medical etc)
Although I have had sims with careers outside the home, I prefer my sims to be self-employed so that they can work on my main focus - genetics - by staying at home and making and raising kids.
How long have you been playing ts3?
Since the game was released :)
