This might sound boring to many, but I found the most fun while sticking with my Sims for a very long time.
Vlad and Jack, for example, are with me since my Sims 3 days. For over ten years.
They grew on me and I can't wait to log in and learn more about them.
I just picked Rosa, one of my Sims I played for many years, to playtest a house and a little story started to enravel.
And in this story she met her childhood friends in the pub. And then I wanted to learn more about their childhood - a never ending story ^^'
So I made them children in CAS and they went on their adventures together.
It's just so much more interesting and funny for me when I already know about them and makes it easier to tell their stories.
Rosa, Sara and Michael are on an adventure tour around Saarburg
Same for the Boys. I just wanted to test the highschool years pack and made 4 of my favourite Sims teenagers.
And since then I got stuck with them. For over a year now.
Usually I was a builder (70% of my ingame time)/rotational player ^^'
For me it's far more interesting to play a Sim that doesn't age up/dies within a few days/weeks.
My relationship to them is so much deeper and I care for them and I want to learn more about them.
Why did they end up here? How did they become friends/lovers? What made them the person they are now?
Teenager Jack was different from adult Jack, so I wanted to find out why. And why did Jeb wear that bag on his head? (We found out ;))
I love a good origin story too. My favorite Star Wars movies were Episodes 1-3 (2000s) because of Anakin's story. I liked learning what led to him being evil. I know I'm probably in the minority in the Star Wars Fandom with that but I don't care. I like what I like.
I've been playing the same family (off and on) for over a year. They've all aged, and it's nearing the end of my founder, Orion's life. I'm ok with my sims dying and aging because it makes my time with them even more special. Orion has had a full life, not all sunshine and rainbows, but it he got there in the end. He's built a nice legacy to pass on to his 4 children, and (as of right now) 4 grandchildren.
