I think you all are right, I definitely prefer the videos for entertainment rather than how-to. Most build videos are too long for my taste to be used for a "how-to", I'm very impatient when it comes to "how-to" stuff, I don't want to watch for ten minutes to learn what I need, I want a 1-2 minute video that just tells me exactly what I need to know (part of my ADHD I think).
And of course some LPs are boring, but I think it's interesting to see different approaches to the game play, and I love how it lends itself to learning their personality (assuming they put their personalities into their LP, if they don't I probably lost interest). As for CAS I think it is also creative, and if you have no CC it's true there's only so much you can do, but with CC I feel like there's a lot, especially if someone is creating a sim from scratch, and it's someone who knows how to make sims with a variety of looks (some people I've noticed, end up making different versions of the same sim lol).
Thanks for all the input, it's nice hearing others' perspectives!
