Are you the kind of Simmer who sticks with one game for years and years or are you like me and struggling to stick with one game for any amount of time? How long do you stick with the same game? Wh...

I used to do restarts over and over again, hardly played a household longer than maybe a month before I got bored and created a new one. That has changed when I created my current main household last year in April or May. It was the first time in Sims 4 that I had created a couple and had a pretty good idea what I wanted to do with them in terms of careers before I started creating them in CaS. I have been playing with them ever since, there have been many ups and a few downs, they've moved to a new house twice, started a family after a while because they felt there was something missing... by now, they have a full-fledged story they can tell their kids... and with the kids, I find it interesting to see how they develop, what traits they get when they age up... and then I start thinking what other traits would match those and what kind of profession would be perfect for that Sim.
I've also started adding new households over the past months, all of which are somehow connected to each other, and I make sure they meet each other and become friends. There will be more households in the future as the main household's kids grow up and need places of their own... and eventually, I want at least one household per world đ Currently, my households are spread across six worlds, so there's a lot to be done, and I can totally see myself sticking to that save for a long, long time. I've just gotten very attached to those households and the Sims therein, and while rotational play is a bit stressful, it's also fun to explore different gameplay mechanics, traits, careers, skills etc with different Sims.
I have a feeling I need to keep my sim single longer. I love being a family person in real life, so I keep figuring I want to in sims. But that's when I quit. I think I need to stick with a single sim until I'm really happy with their progress and can actually shift focus to the husband or child. I find it frustrating diving my focus up between sims. Maybe that's my problem. I don't think I've ever played with just one sim. I should try that. đ€Ż You may have just solved the issue for me, lol. thank you!!!
Having just one Sim to take care of is a lot of fun, too, because they can do whatever they want, and you can focus on them without having to look after the others. I currently have two households with single Sims, both of them daughters of my main household. They're all grown up now and have their own places, and it makes for a rather different gameplay than with the whole family because that family was larger than I had intended - the couple ended up having five kids, and that was really, really stressful for both them and me đ
I always enjoy playing with those two in their respective households; one lives in a penthouse in San Myshuno, the other has a cute little house in Windenburg. Both are very happy singles, focus on their careers, go out with their friends or on dates, and in general, they have a lot of fun and the odd non-committal woohoo đ At this point, I can't see either of them getting into a serious relationship or married with kids. The oldest one got to help raise her four siblings, I think the last thing she wants is to be a mum herself đ
That sounds fun! I think that's how I'm going to try for a while. Maybe one science baby to have an heir...but I don't even know about that. I may keep her single for a long time while I'm experiencing the careers and adding one pack at a time to enjoy things at a slower pace.
