State of your simming.

Due to the death of a loved one, I just haven't been able to play for any length of time.

The game will still be there when I'm ready to tackle it again.

I am sorry for your loss, bshag4lv.
I lost my sister years ago. After the initial grieving I coped by building a computer.
It seems odd now, but throwing myself into that project helped me cope. It was the first time I'd lost someone in the immediate family.
Yep, the The Sims 4 will be there waiting for you, with tons of DLC. :)

I wish it was up, but I feel like I've run out of interesting things to do in the game....everything now is like "been there, done that"

@Nate_Whiplash1 From your pics I've noticed that most of your gameplay revolves around clubs and bars and bees. Have you ever thought about trying something different from how you usually play? A challenge? 100 babies. Rags to Riches. One of the scenarios.

Love the idea of playing, but there's always too much to 'set up' before I can play.

Having all the packs is sometimes a disadvantage. Too much sorting & figuring out. Where to place restaurants, movies, bowling, cinemas? Adding EP,GP,SP, pools, fountains to base game houses takes so long. Same thing with townies & premade families. Adding teens, pets, toddlers, gramps is too time consuming. CAS'ing everyone out of hideous & sometimes stereotypical clothes.

Or I can keep an existing game and enjoy all the glitches/bugs I didn't realize I was going to have, cause I added a gallery lot with too much MOO & clutter or game is slowing with crosspack dis-functionality.

I've thought about doing something different, but came up empty-handed. I don't like challenges--to me, that makes the game seem more like work than fun

How is it going with you and your sims?

Up: Everything is awesome!
So many ideas, so many things to do, so much fun, where am I going to find the time?

Down: Meh!
Been there done that, I launch the game out of desire and then exit out of boredom.

Other: Life is rarely this or that.
It's usually "other".

Sadly the founders of this family have since passed away, but such is life. This is the legacy they left behind. Two kids(+spouses), four grandchildren, with two more on the way. The three kids in the middle of the group belong to the couple on the left <3

I just figured out something I can do, something I've never done before; create a mermaid

I definitely understand the set-up problem.
Whenever a new pack would come out and I would start a new save to explore it, I found my self plopping down all the lots I can't play without.
And then there is the editing of townies.

That's why I am so gung-ho on finishing my master save file so most of the things I want in the save are there to begin with.
I am currently in a new save just to test out a custom career mod I have made. My test sims need more space and I am looking for a new apartment. So I go into build mode to check out an apartment before they buy it. The layout is really odd and I fixed it.



But now I am going to go to my master save to do the same correction, so I never have to do this again in any future new saves. :)

I love this game! I’m new to it, and only started playing at the beginning of this year, but I’m already hooked on it! I love that this game allows us to make our dream family, and choose the paths of the lives of the sims! I’ve recommended it to many of my friends, and they’ve loved it too!

Today I downloaded the Smaller Censor mod and prepared my Goth family for their weekend trip to Mt Komorebi, so when I open my game next week they'll be ready to go! But I didn't feel like playing more because it is so hot here and tomorrow I'm going on a weekend trip and don't have time to play :smile:
