Ok, now this is difficult for me to share... please don’t judge me, I believe I have OCD (shouldn’t it be called CDO, that’s just makes life complicated for people who struggle...) anyhow, I have a really bad confession... I never had a sim age up to a teenager.
That’s right! Your read that correctly. I keep making my sim self, and I am bad by wanting it to be perfect, by starting again and again and again. I’m going to try and break this habit!
I'm a control freak - I can't tolerate playing with autonomy on, and I can't have more than three Sims in the house - two is ideal. (Right now, I've just got one - my teen was orphaned when her mother died of old age.)
I never got beyond the third generation in previous Sim games, but I've been playing legacies in Sims 4. I got to eleven, I think, before Seasons, and I would have continued it, but I thought it was best to start a new save because it was such a game-changing pack. I believe I'm up to five or six, now.
I confess that I tend to get bored pretty easily, although I can focus for a long time playing with my Sims or building houses. But... I can't past the 3rd generations without starting a new Sim. I bulldozed houses over & over again until I'm satisfied...
So for now, I randomised my Sims traits & careers so that I'm not going to have similar Sims over & over again... I haven't found any solution about how can I build in one go... :/
My confession would have to do with me making over all world's and Townies. It all started with one world and just expanded from there and I refused to play until I was finished with all world's even the vacation world's, including every apartment and penthouse in San Myshuno. And once I finished that and started to play I did not allow game generated sims to stick around. All sims had to be either made by me or made over by me. If there was a way to stop the game from generating sims I would definitely use that option (like an in game toggle or mod)
I don't think it's all that uncommon to remake, replay ect and if it is compared to other players so what? If you enjoy it that's what matters it's what the game is for. In the sims I replay certain themes really often and never seem to get bored with them. I get to a certain level on my sims and if they don't have some story not based on gaining skills ect they are basically done as young adults. I don't like aging them (play with aging off) and with kids I have to do everything on my played sims before I will age them up so most kids just linger there while I rotate. I keep thinking I'll get back to them. Really part of it is kids stories aren't that interesting to me.. but it makes it that much harder to move on, because I still have to get the achievement part done before I can finish the story lol (vicious circle). My sims seem to rest and I feel better playing them at some adult stage where I can go in more directions with their story. I have certain patterns like this in other games and one of them is restarting. I'm usually a hoarder in other games too. I get to a certain level or readiness or achievement then it's done for me. I have to restart.
My confession is that I'm so attached to one Sim that I created that I just can't seem to part ways with her. She's so special to me as I created her in CAS....and I rarely create my own Sims in CAS (only 3). The other two Sims I created in CAS were part of challenges (NSB & Legacy Challenge) & seeing them die was sad, but I got over it, as I really wanted to see the next generations thrive. BUT this one Sim....I don't want to see her as an elder nor do I want her to die. I have given her potions of youth to keep her as an Adult. & now that her kids are older...it's starting to look so unrealistic that her kids are almost as old as she is. So far I have her Save on hold until I figure out what to do. I'm either going to age her down to YA & start a new Save with her....OR just flag her for no aging or keep using potion of youths....but I don't think I'll ever let her age to elder & die. She's just too special to me. Which probably sounds crazy, since these are virtual characters & not real life.
Norman and Amanda Sherwood, adopted Kamila from Selvadorada, after finding out they were unable to have children of their own. Kamila's real parents, Diego & Rosalia Salas died shortly after she was born. Rumor has it, is that they both died on an exploring expedition to find an ancient relic. Norman and Amanda changed her birth certificate from Kamila Anais Salas to Kamila Sherwood. & they never told her she was adopted. Anytime Kamila would ask why she looked so different than her parents, they just brushed it off or changed the subject. When the Sherwoods died tragically in a plane crash, Kamila was cleaning/packing up her childhood home and ran across some documents....which happened to be her real birth certificate & adoption papers. Name: Kamila Anais Salas. Birth Place: Selvadorada. Parents: Diego & Rosalia Salas. Kamila didn't harbor any resentment towards her adopted parents. But now that she knew the truth....she was more curious than ever. She had gone all these years knowing that she wasn't a real Sherwood....she looked nothing like them. But now that she had the truth in her hands...it was time to find out who she was & learn about her culture. It was also time to find out who her parents were, why they had given her up for adoption & what was so secret that her adoptive parents couldn't tell her the truth her entire childhood. Kamila wanted answers....and when there was something she was after....she was unstoppable. https://i.imgur.com/zyOBm0U.png
@Sha2520032003 wow, I can tell why your so attach to this specific sim. She’s beautiful! Loving her story too :) Just wondering, as I would like to do it myself. May sound daft asking this question, but how do you involve that detail story into the game?
