Which do you prefer to play? A game that plays more like the real world reality or something a bit more fantasy.RealismNo aliens, vampires, ghosts, grim reaper, etc. Just what we have in the real world.FantasyAliens, vampires, ghosts, grim reaper, dancing skeletons, aliens probing your male sim's rear, etc. etc. etc.

I chose Fantasy though I actually enjoy a mix of both in my daily play. I wish we had more fantasy stuff to choose from though definitely want werewolves and witches to be added in the future I'll use those way more then the vampires and aliens I'm sure.

I prefer realism, like family play. I've always been that way though; supernatural stuff never really peaked my interest, whether it was a Sims game or not. I live for packs like Seasons, University, Generations, Pets, etc.

I can't vote on that. I need both. I could not play realism only, or fantasy only. One doesn't go without the other (IMO). So, I'm pretty happy we have both in the game.

Ever since playing TS1, I think I always found the game like a sitcom. so in retrospect, I play in a mix of reality with a tiny bit of sitcom fantasy (usually a dream or a fable). I think I also play this way because...I technically have sooo many other games of magical tales and adventures with beautiful stories and open-ended possibilities to said stories.The Sims is my first and only game where I can really relate and just be me: the girly 20 something who isn't afraid to game in her own "girly way" (as my sister would tell me :lol: ). When I was very very young, I actually thought that games were supposed to be violent or destructive. Mind you that's the impression I had from the games my older brother used to play. But then I when I was shown the sims, It really showed me that playing house, designing, storytelling and all around "creation" could be apart of a video game aspect. That was a big deal for me when I was little, and I still think about that while playing the game actually lol. I love playing with a family throughout a generation. It's like going through seasons and seasons of a show except it's unfolding every day and you never know what's going to happen next. And It's that kind of play that always keeps my mind more and more than any other playstyle.That being said, I understand those who play with supernaturals, I just usually avoid them. I play other games with them, so I understand. I just get too much of it after awhile, so the sims is my wind-down.

Definitely prefer realism.I need my witches back now please!

I'm a hybrid of both, so can't vote. I've played both fantasy and reality since the first Sims game and don't plan on changing anytime soon especially since both have made the series great throughout the years.

I'm not into the fantasy stuff and I'm certainly not into "aliens probing my male Sim's rear."

I like realism but I also like some fantasy. I would like the fantasy side of it to be a rare occurrence or a big deal if a sim sees a ghost or an ailen.

I prefer realism because it's like real life, which you can imagine in the future ;) I wouldn't say fantasy because sometimes the creature just doesn't even exist.

Both. I want some fantasy stuff and some absurd things. That's why I like mods that control spawning and spreading of vamps for example.

"So, you want a realistic, down-to-earth show... that's completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots?" Like this quotes says, the best kind of Sims game for me has to have a lot of both.

This totally.

I need my realism seasoned with a few dashes of fantasy.

There should be a third option of both. Although I play a mostly realistic game I do enjoy some fantasy gameplay. I like supernaturals but only in human form. Which is why witches are my favorite and I'm looking forward to a witches gamepacks.

I voted for Realism, since that is how I mostly play. I do have a separate save to get my Fantasy-fix though, because I do love that as well. If we’re given more lifestates in the future, I can see myself starting to play more fantasy-based saves.

Fantasy, definitely! Every time I try to do a realistic save, I'm only able to last a single generation before my families are overrun with vampires and aliens. Dying to get some more supernatural types so I can mix things up even more!

I chose Fantasy because -

In the REAL world, there is NO "motherlode"! :tongue:
