That's very unlike me. I still don't think it's necessarily weird? I'm kind of in a limbo too, so let me just use this message to share where I'm at. The biggest difference is I'm more hands on I can usually start playing any sim and get attached to them and the goals I set them. Usually. I love rotational play and have a big save I've been playing since I got the game. I'm very attached to all my sims there, but for months now I've been feeling stuck. I also have a legacy save that's at generation three now where I've been setting up the world my heir would move in... but it's just not coming together. I don't want to play anything. I've been wanting to start fresh and then not wanting to because it's a lot of work to create a big save! I don't know what to do. I have tried to play a little, but it has felt very superficial and I get bored so fast. Then I get stuck trying to do the planning, secret relationships and plots that tie the neighbourhood together. I'll search the gallery and find lots that feel sort of right but still don't want to start playing. I don't feel like creating sims. Now after writing this I think my problem is I'm too focused on planning maybe?
You see, when I "played" my first few households before I planned this one, I got bored of them real quickly because they didn't "fit" who I am. I like uniqueness and playing a normal Sim family didn't excite me at all...that's when I found out about the occults. The occults interest me because they're different creatures with their own unique abilities. I also wanted to play with all of the life stages (with the exception of babies, or newborns as they're called now) in one household because I hate aging (I always disabled it every time I make a new game) and I want to experience them all at once. I know most other players like to a create a story for their game but I just want to play it normally and let it surprise me. ?♀️
That's actually my favourite thing too, letting the game surprise me and going forward by the little hints it offers :smile: I wish I could get into playing and enjoy that again. I normally play all kind of sims, some fit who I am and others not so much, but I think it's a good idea to look for a sim that I can relate to in order to get back into playing.
I love the tip given by @crocobaura that you could come up with an excuse why Faye's wings aren't showing and still play her as faerie. I honestly wouldn't wait if I had the perfect family, because there's no quarantee when a faerie pack might be coming out. Yes, there have been hints and I think it's likely to happen but is it the next after the Rent pack who knows. You could also think further and maybe start playing as the grandparents of your ideal family. Then you would have something meaningful to do while waiting for the right content. I am not sure how well this would work with aging off, but they could be immortal even if the children would be growing up. I realize maybe this doesn't work for the way you play, so maybe rather a group of friends for your ideal family that you could play meanwhile? One option is also to play a version of your perfect family and then when you get the desired content to start over like it was an alternative reality.
