How do you play sims 4

Well, it mostly changes. For example, if I'm on a gameplay hiatus, I'll be building 99% of the time... but when I'm back in the mood of actually developing a story, I'm going to be playing the actual game most of the time.

I'm mostly a builder and player. Not necessarily a creator (I make households, but I don't spend as much time on my Sims as I do building lots and playing the game).
