Share what you do for realistic gameplay!
So, I know there was an old thread of this topic, but I can’t find it. Even if I did, I don’t want to necro it. So I made a new one for us to share and discuss what we do for realistic gameplay! I put...

> * Every 12 days I change my sim's everyday outfits, every year I completely redo their wardrobe.
> * downloaded a lot of wrinkles cc and when my sims turn into an adult I gradually start adding them more and more till they become elders.
> * My sims only cook from ingredients they have.
> * My sims brush their teeth every day.
> * My sims have to pay for medical insurance (350 simoleons regular, 450 for high-quality and 250 for low-quality) every week. They also can choose to pay for car insurance (100 per week) if they want to. If not... there are slight chances of accidents happening.
> * My sims have the option to enroll their kids into a private school which cost 70k simoleons. That's a lot of money, but the kids skills increase much quicker ;)

Great ideas thank you!
