Merry Christmas and a happy new year, Simmers.
My sims are not celebrating because, well... Seasons. :p
But for the first time in The Sims 4, I am counting down my top simming moments of 2017
Actually my simming time was hit hard by long work schedules and distractions by playing The Sims 3, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect Andromeda.
However, 2017 is the year The Sims 4 finally took off for me.

The Death and Birth of my Simming Moments thread.
2017 is the year The sims 4 took off for me. My Simming Moments thread that was created at the launch of the game was filled with complaints, restarts, and game play that was not normal for me. When we got Toddlers and Parenthood, I felt the thread should be archived and started anew.

#9 to #1:

Since I was digging deep into TS4 again with all my favorite sims, I was ready to do some serious rotational play, I created this little tool to track when I was ready to move on to the next stage of play.

I had been dabbling around with all my immortal young adults living in San Myshuno, but it got really interesting when I put in Meadow Thayer.
I had her living in the city and working in Social Media career. She was investigating the cat girls from Windenburg she has seen touring the city and was going to write about them.

Nothing is sacred in my Game.
I haven't bothered the Goths much... until now. I experimented on them with makeovers.

I think I went easy on them though.

At least they are still recognizable. :)

Now I want to play them.

I will probably work them into my rotation.

I wonder if I might have Cassandra experiment with vampirism.
She could use the experience for her memoir: I Was A Teenage Vampire.
The Vampires Game Pack is not in my top ten because I have yet to play it fully, but I will.

This is only here because it relates to my number one. Toddlers are the starting point of my current game play scenario and I liked having the extra content.

To be honest, pets are not a big feature for me. I was interested primarily in the new world and having another career.
But I do plan on trying out a scenario I have been thinking about.

I had decided to build a replacement for my old computer several years earlier than expected for quite a few reasons.
The Sims 4 wasn't one of them since it really doesn't need a more powerful machine, but fast load times and saving are even faster now.

Liquid cooled CPU and GPU, M.2 NVME SSDs, Windows 10, and a virtual reality headset is making for some fun gaming.http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/20171022_180154.jpg

Parenthood is half the reason why I am back into playing TS4 now. I haven't gotten deep into yet, as most of my sims are still toddlers so values, science projects, curfew, grounding, and phases are just getting started.

The other reason why I am back to playing The Sims 4 because I could not stand full grown children jumping out of the baby bassinet. Best toddlers ever! 'nuf said.

For the majority of the time I have been playing The Sims 4, I have been playing the same never aging young adults. They never married or became involved in deep relationships. They merely explored the content in new packs.

And played around with custom content.

But now that we had toddlers and Parenthood, I started my game over again.
I've started all favorite sims over by aging them all down to toddlers.

My supernatural sims are being raised as toddlers in an orphanage.

My normal sims have been given parents and are scattered around the various worlds.
