Rotational play is what keeps me busy. It gets fun when sims see other families in the world, get to know them have children with them etc. I play a rather big rotation, over 30 households, but you could start small - or you could try to play the whole town, up to you :smile:
Absolutely. I find one sim household restrictive. I own all the EPs, all the non-occult GPs (except the Star Wars one), and like nine SPs, and that's way too much stuff for one sim to take in. So I make many, many sims! Some of them live in San Myshuno's Spice District (I find this one has the liveliest mini-neighborhood to socialize and do stuff, but that may be my being a total sucker for food festivals IRL), some are travel-minded and go to places like Granite Falls, Selvadorada, and the slopes of Mt. Komorebi, some are fitness nuts who are always at the gym, one of my sims is basically Billy Joel at the Blue Velvet, playing the piano and watching the other NPC sims interact and enjoy a night out...
Funny you mentioned you don't own Eco-Lifestyle, because I've enjoyed greening up my neighborhoods. Every house has every square centimetre of roof space covered in windmills and solar panels with a few dew collectors out front; the Power Conservation and Water Conservation NAPs do nothing on shut-off day, and they sell power back to the grid. It has made the houses look a little same-y (I use walls and flooring with a +2 Eco Footprint Green, of which there are a limited number), but I've always liked stonework, so...
Point is the game's whatever you make it (and that's without even having to download a single mod), so experiment!
