Do you re play the same household?

I make a family. Get into their late adulthood then stop and play all over again.

  • I use to switch families alot until I found the ultimate dream sim. From there the family started growing and ive been playing the same family for about a year. And never aged anybody. I got attached till them and they are not going anywhere anytime soon.
  • I honestly don't get how people play with aging off! The only Sim I have that I will never age is my Perfect Sim and that's because I want her to complete every aspiration and max every skill possible.

    Other than that, I play rotationally with about three or four families as the main households. I like to play each house for about a week or so then move on to the next.

    My world is pretty established now because I'm on generation six and thanks to MCCC other families have been growing along since my main families.
  • I tend to reuse the same household instead of making new ones, but I have a lot by this point.
  • Typically when I play, I do make a family and stick with them, but if I get bored I'll just make a new family and come back to the other one later. Or I'll do a challenge from the forums to spice things up in my game.
  • Never. Not even in a different save. I just have them connected to their story and I simply couldn't create a new one for them.
  • Due to numerous technical difficulties, I have played my Global Superstar and his nuclear family several times. I had to restart him after the StrangerVille Patch and things went wonky with RTF. Turned out I didn't have the latest version of that mod. But, the damage was done. Game save was corrupted, but what was worse is my star was corrupted. So, I simply started him over from a teenager, instead of having him born in game again. The story changed, of course. This time I had the use of the latest RTF, which had a few amenities it didn't have in the prior version.

    One of the technical glitches that occurred after we got the IL patch, (sans any mods this time until MCCC was given the all-clear) was the game seemed to target my Rock Star for death by Hysterical. He died twice, even though I removed the buff with MCCC. Third time, he went Hysterical and I exited the game and used a copy of the save I had backed-up prior to the patch.

    Although I didn't start from scratch this time, I set up the Sim I had created to be his spouse and her family, instead of five female Sims for him to meet, date, and either dump or what have you. I also disabled death by emotion, just until this weird glitch is addressed. Sadly, his intended had meltdowns every time he responded to a female fan who flirted heavily with him. I call it his weak-knee affliction. Nor, did she settle down again after they were engaged, which is what happened the first go-around. I had him break it off and he was on the 'hunt' again. After two more bad relationships, I created an entirely different Sim for him. They are now happily wed with four small children. In order to stop her jealous fits (and no she doesn't have that trait, I think this is something built into the RTF mod) I had to cheat him into a Player so that she wouldn't be jealous. They have two toddlers, the girl being the eldest and then an actual set of twins.

    While I awaited the updating of the two mods I use, and word on a third one, I began my ancestral save all over again. This save takes place in the 18th century, and I am excited to play off-the-grid. Sadly, we can't use that lot trait in Willow Creek. But, perhaps, this will be the impetus for me to get to the end of their story, this time. Always something happens that makes me set it aside.
  • I have one couple who I played right near the beginning of my time playing with sims 4 and they ended up losing their toddler to social services because I didn't understand what I was doing (and the nanny glitch). I still play the original save but I also have two alternate realities for them. One where I replayed them meeting, falling in love etc - they have different careers, no children and a large energetic dog which needs plenty of time and energy. Plus I played them again from just before they lost their child and now they have a large family of four kids. I love seeing the similarities and differences in their worlds.

    I also have one other couple who have a main save but are allowed to start like premades as NPCs in every other save I play. I love them so much I just adore seeing them in the background all the time.
