Does your sims live normal or soap opera lives?

soap opera all the way!

I'd have to say normal. I have yet to have a sim have a baby and then age them up to an adult in the same season. :p

I think somewhere between? Or rather that it depends on a household. I tried to count how many I'm playing in my main save and got around 30...

Soap opera, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Kidnappings
Affairs
Unwanted pregnancies
Illegitimate children
Parties all the time complete with fights
Epic intense hatreds (that I have to force because the ai in this game is so happy go friendly)
Sims returning from the dead
I even have my power couples and my MFEO and OTP pairings that I constantly go back and forth with shipping.
Everything must be dramatic. The Go to School mod plays out high school teenage drama so perfectly, and the clubs system makes it even more intense.

A mix of both, it just depends what happens in game.

I have mixed of stuff in my game. I play rotationally the following:

1- some real life families made into the game leading some normal routine life.
2- Desperate Housewives main characters which have lots and lots of soap opera elements
3- The Golden Girls or precisely when each girl was young and in her YA stage. Once they become elder I am moving them together. Right now they are friends though.
4- Some challenges like Asylum challenge, Elderly care center and Prison challenge
5- A household of a king and queen and their servants.

All these are in one single file and I really enjoy rotating between them.
Hopefully soon I will create all the soap opera "Dynasty" characters and play them all in my game. I am a big fan of this show and having Alexis Colby as an enemy with Krystal Carrington and all the cat fights would create lots of drama in my game.

Its a mix of both, but I tend to lean toward soap opera like drama. Love triangles, affairs. I even have one sim that kidnaps people and keeps them in his basement. (until the game sets them free when I play another house, lol )

Mine live soap opera, murder mystery, true crime, serial killer, drama, cheating spouses,apocalypse, anything but normal lives. Normal is too boring for me. I want to play out other lives, other scenarios.....not what I do every day.

Apocalypse!!! Wow I never thought of that, I want to include that in my game!! Serial killer is so hard to pull off!

I've always wanted natural disasters in sims, seeing a tornado or a hurricane and earthquake or flood and all the drama and romance that ensues would be so epic.

I love Dynasty despite not watching it and only hearing about it. I wish I could watch it, that show and Dallas were A grade quality soaps.
