How Random is Sims 4 Really?

Yeah, I have to admit I prefer to be able to micromanage my sims rather than have too much randomness happen in most cases. I do have one sim that a vampire likes to come after, if I forget to lock their apartment door, my one sim is in trouble. I’m not sure why they prefer certain sims to others. I like playing my game with only the rare abduction and the rare vampire draining, I like that I don’t see my witches, and especially townie witches flying all over town, that mermaids aren’t all over the ocean and that werewolves don’t show up in other town ( unless I’m playing them and want that to happen ). I think that when occult appearances are rare that it actually seems more real to me. I don’t want my secluded witch to be found out by everyone. I already don’t like the idea that I feel like I can’t have comedians because they are likely to die of laughter. I don’t like that death. I feel like it’s a stupid death….. unlike death by anger, or death by fire, or death by shark drowning. I never saw anyone in real life die of laughter…..that is something I wish I could toggle off in my game. I do like that there are certain things you have to follow and do for an active job, like the scientist and doctor careers. I do like that little random things do show up occasionally. I tend to notice those things because I have to take a double take. I like using fhe simple living trait with most of my sims because it makes life a little harder for them. I wish we had a simple clothing trait where we had to buy clothes to open up each piece of clothing and accessories for them too. I don’t cheat often, except with money cheats for the sims that are supposed to be super rich like the Landgrabbs, and I cheat some with my Goths and Callientes too. Some of them own Businesses because we can’t set businesses up like we can Restaurants where we don’t need a household to set them up. Most of my sims are self made. I do cheat about aging as I usually keep it off. I like to play rotationally, so I rarely send a sim to university, and I do dislike seeing my sims that I play, but are not playing at the moment show up and do things out of character, like wearing the wrong costume to a costume party or geek con. I want a costume category like the categories for hot and cold, so they show up in the costumes I have them set up to show up in, instead of a random ones. One other cheat I will use is testing cheats like cheating a lifestyle away that my sims were not supposed to have developed, and I now use the plant cheat because bugs cause dirt piles. I also use move objects and stuff like that occasionally too. I don’t use Custom Content or Mods, so toggles are important to me.

One thing about the sims is everyone likes to play differently. And I think the Devs should cater to that as much as possible. Please give me a toggle for the base game to turn off death by laughter.

And like someone else mentioned…… I never got bored with Sims 2. Sims 3 I stopped playing early because it had too many rabbit holes for me. Even restaurants were rabbit holes in the beginning of sims 3, and you couldn’t enter work places, they were just shells. And, sims 3 tended to crash a lot on me. Sims 4 doesn’t!
