I noticed this thread yesterday and wanted to reply today but had some trouble finding it as the thread has apparently been moved.
What gameplay themes are your priority 1-10 (1 being priority and 10 being lowest or no priority)?
- Modern with fantasy elements (occults in the modern world like Harry Potter, vampire/werewolf pop culture books/tv/movies, etc.)
- Modern with minor fantasy elements (not really occults, more like wishing wells, kissing frogs, etc.)
- Era with fantasy elements (steampunk, dragons, etc.)
- Era with minor fantasy elements
- Future with minimal alien/fantasy elements (like some "Into the Future" aspects)
- Future with alien/fantasy elements (Utopia ideal technology, Dystopia survival, space travel/living, etc.)
- Modern and better than reality life (vacation/travel, business/career based, extreme activities and luxury lifestyles)
- Modern and regular everyday life (more family, children and modern/regular activities/lifestyles)
- Era and regular everyday to better than reality life (Victorian, Bridgeton inspired, Medieval, etc.)
- Future with no alien elements
In general fantasy (minor or regular) over realism out of interest. Modern day over other periods due to game limitations (for example phones and computers)
What life stages are your priority?
This game is heavily geared towards young adults so to get most out of this game I play a lot of young adults/adults.
Most of them end up having infants/toddlers/kids so those are in my game as well. I'm not interested in teens. Why I am finally past the younger stages I want to move onto adulthood. The 'teens' in this games are way to close to adults in looks and gameplay wise
What life states are your priority?
Spellcasters and werewolves are the best. I also like aliens and mermaids. I would like to add fairies as well but their built in hatred for spellcasters makes me avoid them. Vampires, even if they are done excellently just aren't my vibe.

What is your biggest beef with Sims 4 at the moment?
A lot of systems upon systems upon systems makes this game bloated, especially if new systems are variations of existing ones. New systems should only be implemented with an opt out in the options to avoid overload and let the players choose.
Simulation lag and unresponsive sims are also threaten to make this game unplayable.
The recent pack full of recycled items also makes me more hesitant to buy future content.
The constant quests also have a negative impact on the game. I would have enjoyed the lost legacies event if I could have done that at my own time. But the FOMO puts a pressure on the game that undermines it's laid back nature.
What is your biggest draw to Sims 4 at the moment?
Being able to tell everyday lifestories with a fantasy element or twist. Completing apsirations or achieving things with my sims (top of career, earning speacial traits, completing a collection)
