How do y'all play Sims 4

I play lazy?  I only have 1 game since 4 years ago when CC corrupted my game files and EA instructed me to delete the entire game from my system, they talked me through it, and reloaded it all as if I just bought it all that day!  100% New.    4 years into this game now, and I only have 49 sims where 200 is max.  I play whichever family I want depending on what I want to do.  Like right now, Started a new retail but am actually creating a "farmers market" similiar to the one I used to go to when I was wayyyyy younger!  😄 I do not use cheats as a general rule however when creating new Adult Sims in CAS, I use cheats to give them traits like "responsible", which only toddlers to teens actually earn as part of the growing together pack.  I also play with aging off for everyone; animals too.    After this is built and useable, (I don't even use the money cheat),  so business growth is slow, i'm not sure what I will do next.   You will learn your preferences as you go. There are so many things  you can do!!!   I don't play occults tho I do have strangerville I have no one lives there except the NPC's who are freaked out most of the time inspite of the fact that we defeated the mother plant!   I prefer a loving, caring, helpful environment filled with fun and laughter, even through the crash landings when snowboarding, skiing or rock climbing and others.
