Builders, do you play in Live Mode?
I'm just curious how many builders play in live mode. This is just a fun little poll that I thought would be interesting.

@Writin_Reg, I assume you mean CAW tool in TS3? I never got the hang of that. I tried but I couldn't do much. Plus, it froze a lot.
I built on maps all the way back to sims 1 - which was mostly a copy map extension using simple code - then I'd change up the new area.
Sims 2 I made maps using Sim City 4 and turn them into templates.
Sims 3 yes - CAW but mostly helping other creators troubleshoot and fix their world creations and of course fixing Maxis ep maps that had issues - mostly routing. CAW was a beast to be sure unless you really showed it who was boss - that was not me - lol but many of my friends are world builders using CAW, but for me it was mainly a tool for fixing or solving problems with the worlds and helping the Creators make their worlds run troublefree. But yes CAW is not user friendly for sure - but it did do the things I needed it to do. I enjoyed feeling helpful in Sims 3 - I miss that.
Sims 4 has truly left me out of my element... but luckily I have also always liked playing the games. I had to play in order to troubleshoot map problems - so for me I played as much as I built. I also got ideas for maps in Sims 2 from playing the game. So I am a builder - player.
I didn't come into the franchise until late TS3--about a year or two before Supernatural released--so I know very little of TS2, and nothing about TS1. When Origin had TS2UC for free, I got and played around with it but I still know very little.
