Gameplay style
Me again..... 🤭Hello fellow simmers! I've played the sims for about 20 years now and don't really have much to show for it. I constantly start new saves as I get bored. I love to build so spend a l...

I feel like I have a few different places styles.
One is to play the pack. I like to explore a new pack with a new save which I eventually abandoned.
Another is to play a family for a few generations usually max of three before the story has run its course. But I always come into it with an initial storyline. I really like to start off with single Sims. And I know people complain about the Sims is being a single person simulation game, but those are my favorite aspects of the game.
And the last that I really enjoy is challenges. I like goals, which is usually why I run out of steam in saves. So having a storyline for each generation and goals that they have to complete is a lot of fun for me.
The best challenge that I’ve found that kind of has a combination of all this without being a generation challenge is the globetrotter challenge. I highly recommend it. Especially if you’re trying to get out of a rut, play different packs and explore different worlds.
I like playing generations, too. I'm currently on my 5th generation with a Sim I played during the New In Town Challenge. When she finished the challenge I kept going with her. It did go off the rails, though. 🙃 There are so many relatives that I have two families who fell deeply in love with and are married to their cousins. 🤪 And apparently one of the moms was stepping out while I was playing other households because there are 2 kids that came out of nowhere. 😮 They're townies so they never aged up because of my settings. None of the other family members know about them and I didn't see them until she passed away from natural causes.😂 Don't judge, it is what it is in The Sims. 😅 Playing the game packs is fun, too. I CAS with aspirations and traits that help them gain skills faster for whichever pack I'm playing. Then I give them a messed up trait that sabbotages their goals for a little spice and let the shenannigans begin.😁 I like starting out with single, YA Sims, though I had teenage twins living alone and that was fun. WifeyClarky Since you like working in build mode you should try the Interior Designer career if you haven't already. I think it's part of the Get To Work expansion pack. I liked it because each job took me to a different world map location to redesign another property. If it's a community location like a bar, lounge or club you get to hang out in your new design space! The stronger your reputation the more jobs you get and the more $$ you make. It's giving home-rehab/home design series vibes for me. 🤩 The before and after photos are a cute touch. And if you get clients to cry during the reveal you'll have clients for life!
Hope you find your niche! Happy Simming!❤️
That's a great idea, I do have that pack so will definitely try that career for one of my sims! I do love to build and decorate ❤️
Glad I could help! 😇
