How many sims should I start with?
I want to change my game play and I generally start with just one or two Sims. Should I make a whole family, or just play one or two?

I'm 40, or maybe 41... I'd have to do math to figure out which for sure. Don't care enough to bother though. I didn't fall in love with The Sims 3 until 2016, apparently. I'd tried the game a few years earlier via Gamefly's PC game catalogue, but hadn't been impressed at the time. In truth the only reason I bought the game was because there was a bundle of the base game, Late Night expansion, and High End Loft stuff pack on sale for only $9.99 instead of $20-$30 for each of them it normally was. This was before the Starter Edition that includes those two was added to the store.
At the time, I bought it because the deal was too good to pass up. Yeah, idiot me. I didn't like the game, yet bought it cause it was on sale for a deep discount. After paying for them, I decided that I may as well play for a few hours at least. That way the purchase could be justified instead of just wasted money. I expected to play for 2 to 3 hours then uninstall, never to touch The Sims 3 again. Instead I found myself getting sucked in for 16 hours without noticing. Before I knew it I had a hundred hours logged, and was eying the various expansions. As it turns out, the reason I got bored and hated the game originally is because I was trying to micromanage every aspect of my sim's life, every minute of every in-game day.
I get the most enjoyment out of The Sims when I only do enough to keep them alive (baring stupidity or accidents) and let them run their own lives.
