- telemwillSeasoned AceI do when I move a couple or family and need to make the house suit their style. I also redecorate as the family grows and adds children. The Goths got a new third floor.
- CAPTAIN_NXR7Seasoned HotshotI don’t typically, but it depends.
I spend a considerable amount of time planning out who or what will be living in a specific structure before I actually move in a household. I build structures with characters, activities and stories in mind, and rooms are predominantly decorated based on this background information.
If my sim finds a mate with a specific hobby or job that requires an equally specific gameplay object I will either place that object in the build, or - if we run out of space due to the object being too large- I’d transfer the complete household to another (carefully planned out) structure.
When I started off with The Sims I used to add rooms, but I no longer find pleasure in doing this. I’d rather build an entirely new structure because I’m an oddball. ?
Some of my builds now have “spare rooms” such as attics and / or basements, which are fully cluttered, unutilized, cobwebbed areas. Occasionally I will convert one of these areas into a small living space or bedroom for “the accidental kid” or fugitive who’s in “hiding” IF that’s what the story demands. - All the time. The amount of time I'm going to be spending with that household is the deciding factor how detailed I'm going to get. If it's a family I started out only occasionally checking in on and later I start spending more time with them I will redecorate again and get even more detailed with the changes.
- Kimmer_oneRising TravelerOnly if they have some hobbies or traits & habits that "need" something special.
- bshag4lvSeasoned ScoutThe house must fit the sim. I wouldn't put my musician sim in a Victorian house any more than I would put a celebrity in Evergreen Harbor. I realize that this would make for a possibly funny situation, but I don't play that way. I love redecorating, and unlike the CAPTAIN, I love devising new ways to increase the living space in a house...as long as it's not a 20x15 or 20x20. In that case, I would go either up or down with a floor.
- SirianaSimsNew SpectatorI tend to obsess about decorating, so I always make sure that the house evolves with the family. So a new spouse would bring in some new things, the family pictures on the walls change over time, stuff like toys on the floor when the kids are small will disappear and be replaced by homework, hobbies, or clothing clutter when they get older.
- it depends on their financial situation since i try to keep that semi-realistic. in my current save my sim is about to marry becca clarke, who is unemployed and just graduated college, so she's bringing a laptop, bicycle, backpack, bathrobe, and skincare clutter.
- For me, it also depend on the situation. I play without money cheats, so if they have the money, I might do it. But if they don't, well, then my sims just can't afford it.
- GrumpyGlowfishSeasoned NewcomerMy households generally don't change a lot. On the rare occasion that I pretend to be a family player and add a new child to a family, that child will need a room sooner or later, so some renovating, redecorating and/or expanding is in order. If a child grows up and leaves the household, I might turn their room into something else. But other than that, my sims usually stay in the houses I put them in originally, which are built to reflect their hobbies and preferences from the beginning, with some new objects being added over time.
- OldeSimsFanSeasoned RookieI don't bother. Not worth the trouble & sims don't really care anyway.
