Is your playstyle more like sandbox or simulation?

Sandbox for me, as I like to already have a clear idea about where my Sims are going and what’s going to happen. I guess I play with a kind of “storyteller” mindset in that I already know how my Sims are going to progress as characters.

Although I do like to avoid cheating things like careers and relationships so that there’s still a Simulation/challenge element, but if something wasn’t possible to achieve the result I wanted then I would totally cheat to make my Sims into who I want them to be.
