Its just that sim life!

I'm one of those perpetual-save players (I don't understand this "starting over" concept—maybe if my game bugs out and the save gets corrupted, but knock on wood, that hasn't happened in nearly two years.) If I'm creating a sim in CAS, or modifying a townie beyond recognition into someone entirely new, I may not have any intention of ever playing that sim in an actual live-gameplay scenario, but they're far from forgotten as they weave their way through the tapestry of my simworld, like extras in a Hollywood movie.
