One tip I have is to have multiple different types of saves. It helps me to keep each save with a different theme or challenge with it so it doesn’t get boring. Like for the new EP I will be doing an off the grid rags to riches because I know I can get some seriously fun and unique gameplay out of it. I’ve always wanted to do rags to riches but have never tried it. The island and off the grid lot trait make a perfect combo for it I think. I also slowly go through each new pack instead of rushing to try it all. I still don’t have a five star celeb, I’ve never owned a vet but have a sim who I plan on owning one, I haven’t done doctor or detective career, I’ve never owned a retail store, I haven’t done a lot with jungle adventures, and the list will keep going. It keeps me playing and enjoying the game because I’m always trying something new or discovering things I didn't know existed.
Here are my current challenges/fun saves and a challenge I want to do at some point:
1. Legacy challenge: self explanatory I’m sure but playing with families through generations is my favorite. I also never use money cheats with any family, it helps for sure. I’m currently in generation 3. It’s a common one I know but I personally randomize traits and aspirations to keep things interesting.
2.100 baby challenge: this is really a big and hard challenge. I have four tots right now and am losing my mind, but it’s a fun save for sure. My sim is at the beginning and has very little money right now which is also super hard. It’s again a common challenge but is really fun.
3. Evil vampire: I never play occult’s or evil sims so why not combine the two ?. That sim is already a bit crazy and I love her.
4. Not so berry challenge: new thing I want to try. Seems like a lot of fun because it pushes you as the player to do things you haven’t done before.
I just always try and mix it up. That’s the best advice I can give. Keep your saves different and try new challenges. It keeps the game fun for me. I love the game anyway but I take less breaks than ever playing like this :).
