How do you play sims 4

I play live mode most of the time. I don't build but I do sometimes edit builds more to my liking. Sometimes I will give random townies makeovers but not so much now that the NPC Control mod has stopped my game from generating new ones.

I actually play and enjoy the game, but I also spend quite a bit of time building, CASing and browsing CC in both equal and great measures. Although most of my time in game right now is spent working on new chapters for my story. Right now mostly on concept and script parts, bit I'll get to filming one day for sure.

I've come to the realisation that I don't play in live mode all that much. I spend most of my time building or planning world makeovers.

We needed another option. I spend almost equal times building, CAS and playing. I don't use mods or CC. I have spent my fair share of time killing sims though but I don't think I'd say I've spent as much time on that as the other 3.

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).

What ends up happening is that I’ll spend around 2 hours in CAS preparing the household before I log off. I get too tired to play after all that outfit editing and such.

Next time I log on, I go straight into playing.

This didnt really have an option for me. I play rougjly equal time in live mode, building and cas. But my cas and builds are for live mode mostly which is why I chose that.

I spend very little time in CAS, and I almost never build (I do expand small houses now and again when my Sims can afford it), I just play the game.

Initially, I do spend a fair amount of time building the right house and family in CAS like I have in every iteration of this game, but it is not my main place of enjoyment. If anything, I have taken steps to reduce this "preplay prep" by saving regular sims/families and their matching houses to my library and using them. It is a lot easier to tweak than start from scratch, but I do create new things from time to time.

As much as I can obsess over getting the perfect house, family, and world ready it is all so I can play the game how I want.

Honestly about 60/40 building and playing, but there wasn’t an option for that.
