What kind of game style is your favorite in Sims 3?
This is the second part of the original poll I intended. There are a lot more options I could have chosen so if you like one of those let us know using other or the closest option.

this is difficult, cause my intention & how i actually end up playing differ
i intend nowadays to play
A long-lasting multi-generational game but of the whole town.
but due to mostly bugs, glitches, boredom, incomplete gameplay, lacking meshes, lacking interactions, my impatience with building & so on i unfortunately end up with
Play many different games exploring different situations, towns, EPs, etc.
this meantime even spans over all sims games TS1, TS2, TS3 & TS4 :lol:
years ago i rather tended towards
Start with a single sim or househld and see where it goes.
sometimes, when i am severely bored i also play
Homeless, "survive this" and other hardship challenges.
& as @king_of_simcity7 wrote, to play the whole town takes a verrrrrrrrry long time
it would be easier if there was a well made random town generator, but there isn't
i am currently again having a taste of those difficulties in my TS2 game, remaking of Belladonna Cove to a modern cuboid town while Bluewater Village towards victorian is a very tedious undertaking & ends up a game in itself, namely
City building or "lift restriction" challenges.
which i don't really intend but that's the basis for a city where the sims i intend to play can live at all
i like mostly to just play the sims
but i start with making them, cause i rarely find sims made by other simmers which i like & i find most of the premades boring
at least i like to make sims, only in TS2 CAS is a pain as well
i remember what a revelation TS3's CAS was for me, pure heaven, even with the ever growing clothing & patterns lag
but then after the sim settles in a house it can end up with me trying to rebuild the city to something more coherent & less suburbian
unfortunately, i still hate to build & especially in TS3
at least TS3 has some really well made maps, which do inspire me to even build :smirk:
