How do you play your game?

I mostly play my game on high free will, so nearly everything that happens in the game. Friendships, fights, romances, etc. usually happens because my sims wanted it to happen. I have micromanaged a few times, such as setting up certain scenes where I would need to turn free will off so that my sims don't wander off since I've noticed that they cannot sit down for more than 2 seconds on high free will. Of course, I do tend to play big families, so some order is needed. I usually only micromanage in the mornings when my sims need to get ready for work or school. Other than that, they pretty much do what they want for the most part. Although I'm not above cancelling some actions that I don't agree with.
