The story is alive in my head and when I take screenshots I like to utilize animations happening naturally in the game. I can also let myself go with the flow and incorporate elements of surprise into my story, if some things happen randomly.
I get very attached to my sims because of that. I've only had one save since City Living, I'm still playing the same family I made when that EP came out. Every generation is unique in its own way.
