Is your playstyle more like sandbox or simulation?

I would say simulation, because I enjoy unexpected situations and challenges that game gives me. I’m storytelling while playing, but I do not want total control. My stories are changing depending on how the sims life really goes. That’s why I enjoy traits that are more unpredictable like erratic or the new high maintenance. As for the save preparation I do nothing except making sim or two I want to play and putting few lots I want to use that aren’t in the game like restaurants or spa ( I usually go with Maxis made ones). I’m way too anxious to play actual game to build much or spent ages in CAS. I also never use cheats, because they make the game pointless in my opinion.
