1. Duvelina ..(and anyone can answer) regarding the rules, excellent point regarding work schedules ..so when rotating to the next household i think i will be sure work shifts have ended ..kids (if there is any ..will be home from school) since the idea is to have families with progressive lives being able to be promoted to your next job level is important. Thanks for that pointer. My question is ...once saving one household and heading to the next ..all family members will be home ..so life should be good, right? Is there anything else to be concerned with that folks can think of or additional input on this one subject.
2. in my neighborhoods i generally have a bowling alley..a spa...a nightclub with a dj....a restaurant....a outdoor swimming pool hang out....and a bakery.(or some kind of retail lot) I am very interested what other players like to place in their neighborhoods to create a good community feel and to include a kind of "memories" into play ..like first dates...celebrating anniversaries..weddings ..etc
3. Do you create groups between your rotational play families ..it would seem like a cohesive way to have activities ..how do you usually use your groups ..i know some folks like for their kids to have a homework group ..but i wonder what do other folks do?
1. Family members actually may not be home. When you’re not playing them, they may show up as NPCs at a different lot, wearing something weird. So when you rotate back to them, they may still be at that other lot, wearing that weird outfit. But you can quickly have them change and return home, then proceed from there.
2. Most of my play happens at home. My Sims like to visit libraries, parks, museums, festivals, and the pool, but events happen at home.
3. I have tons of clubs! I have several clubs for my main family, because there are far too many extended family members to all fit into one club. I have clubs for aliens, and for mermaids. I have a club for geeks to get together and play video games and watch sci-fi. I have a club for democrats. I have a chess club. I have clubs for music groups; for example, I have a club for The Mothers of Invention. I have a religious club. I have a club for astronauts. I have a few teenage clubs and an elder club. I have an ecology club. I have a NAMI club (mental health organization). And way more! My clubs are used for fun, for socializing, and for practical purposes. For example, Sims may need to improve their logic skill, so a Sim will hold a meeting of the chess club.
By the way, I was just looking at my main Sim’s stats, and I saw that he has slept 177 times. So I guess I have played him for 177 Sim days. I recently aged him up from young adult to adult.
