Do you like UTOPIA HAPPY GAME or REALISTIC RANDOM game?

I want the random I paid for back. Random alien abductions, and random vampire break-ins. *sigh*

Well I like to option to have all of them though I never look for realism in a game, it's a break from reality like in a game where one can die no one wants to pay anything for a game where one mistake or one technically overpowered enemy means you can no longer play the game again. Though copying things that are realistic a little bit is fine. I'm a storyteller player so I always want the good, bad, and the ugly sims that die from illnesses, though with an option to save them for story telling, like I like the death by poison but I also like that I can pick and choose how it goes, as for disturbing that's more in the eye of the beholder. Some things that bother others, while I'd never tease them for it, don't get to me at all but I play a few different games enjoy a few different types of movies and books so I've been more exposed.

If everything is sunshine and unicorns farting rainbows there is no challenge, no potential for interesting things to happen.

It was Will Wright that recognised players were more interested in exploring failure states. This game is a safe space from a safe space.

The devs need to hear US loud and clear! We paid for the DLC they advertised and since that time, they have taken away that content! That is not fair and not right. This is the Sims...not DollHouse

Agreed! They need to go back and see how random and AWESOME events were in Sims 1 and 2! It is part of the charm of the series. I love this game but this watered down happy land is not what was intended. It's a LIFE SIMULATOR after all. Life often has negative things. Without the negative you don't appreciate the positive. Plus, this is The Sims, so please give me my zany and off-the-wall happenings. I guess I will have to depend on modders for the zany and random!!!

I choose realistic but at the same time I want to be able to put the work in to keep my sims happy.

I almost went for the massacre option, because that's how badly I want more random things and failure in my game.

I want control over what happens, with real chance of horrible things happening, that I choose the percentage of. I want a challenge, not a dumbed down game. I want to work for my sims to be happy, I want happy moments to mean something.

I like playing as close to realism as possible, so imagine my dismay when my male sim came back pregnant after an alien abduction... right after my female sim's pregnancy was confirmed, so I had to care for TWO pregnant sims at once.
