Builders, do you play in Live Mode?

As of right now, I spend more time building.

When I am building, I always do live play, so I can make sure there are no routing issues.

Yeah, I do that too. Do you actually play in live mode aside from play testing?

Build mode enough to prepare the resedential & community lots I want for a given game and then play using what I've built. Play serves two purposes: making sure what I built works as intended and then getting on to the game and story.

I don't build. :D

Thankfully there are tons of great builds in the Gallery, huh?

Overall, I spend way more time building than playing, but there are long periods where I feel more inspired to play than build. Especially with a new YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UComHveycR2LNwv_YaaJ-5Rw), I find myself spending about equal time in both modes recently and feel more inspired to both play and to build.

I spend most of my game time building, but I want to play, so I try it now and then. Live mode doesn't hold my attention the way it did in Sims 3. I tend to get into a groove, things get too easy/predictable, and I go build again.

To be fair though, Sims 4 build mode is amazing and I love it.

Oh yes. I don't know how I would cope if I had to play with the premade maxis builds. :D

I agree 100%, and it's easy to use. I never really mastered building in TS3 (not that I have in TS4 but I do alright) :D .
