How "realistic" is your game?
The topic of "realism" often comes up in various discussions, but it's not always clear what's meant by that term unless we happen to remember previous posts we've read by other individual simmers. So...

I would say either this option or semi-realistic fits how I play. I play with families, and for the most part they do normal, everyday stuff, or at least what’s considered normal in the context of the game. I don’t try to make my game as close to real life as possible, if something happens that wouldn’t happen in real life but is perfectly normal in the game, then I don’t care. I play the sims to escape real life. I let them age and die, and some of them will struggle with money or have relationship drama, but most of them are happy and successful. I cheat their needs, use reward store potions, and do other “unrealistic” stuff like letting same-sex couples have biological children. I also don’t really play with occults that often but they’re not forbidden or anything. I don’t care if I see them in my game or even if my sims become friends with them. I’ve also had a couple of alien babies, too. Eventually I might play the other occults but for the most part I like normal, human sims.
