What do you do in the Sims 3? Do you have loads of save games or just focus on one? Do you do challenges or just live your life? Do you like creating stories with your sims? I'd love to know!

I was a “fanfiction” writer before I ever came to the Sims 3, which meant that I used to craft my environment and character interactions with words instead of pictures (so my writing tends into the word-count of tomes - between 80K to 120K words a work and at least 8K to 10K words a chapter. I used to write fan fiction for a military lawyer TV show called JAG which necessitated a lot of research into the characters and created a OC (original character) that complemented the main characters in the story but did not overshadow the other characters.
My Sims 3 characters that I created feature in narrative stories and can be sometimes utilized like “actors playing a role” for a particular scene or sometimes when a nasty case of writer’s block hits, I end up having to do a “freeplay” which pretty much means I just play the game without any direction. In any case, I enjoy apocalyptic fics so a lot of my narratives revolve around that.
Occasionally my id (if you are familiar with psychology terms) just happens to beg to be let out to play so I appease it by utilizing mods to zap Sims who don’t do what I tell them to do and I do have an unholy fascination with det-packs and meteors which makes life for the sims (the ones I do not favor using) a living hell (with the sole exception of two sims, River McIrish and Bebe Hart who rank amongst the EA created sims in the favored circle of this Watcher.
There is no “right way” or “wrong way” to play the Sims - it’s all in what you like to do. I just enjoy telling stories and use my Sims in a way that can best convey what story I want to narrate.
