Are you still really playing the game in it's entirety? Can't say I really even go into Live Mode too much anymore these days, not without mods.
Are you still making Sims run a business in most saves? I've not yet had a Sim own a business.
Are you still making Sims in every or several households get a pet? I still make pets on occasion or just take from existing ones spawned and place them in other househoulds.
Are you still taking your Sims to the big park in Willow Creek? (basegame) Or did you bulldoze that years ago? Yes but not often, the Park is still the same as it was if not edited to reflect new pack additions.
Are you still making Sims get a fame career? Especially the actor career and not just freelance fame in other careers, etc.? Yes actually
Are you still sending Sims to Strangerville and playing the scenario? Again? I never even finished it the first time.
Are you still making Sims get jobs in the Science career? Are you still playing aliens? Meeting, marrying, playing as an alien? Still visiting the world and or using a rocket ship with this pack and or even still using it from the base game aspirations? Or have you decided it's old news? I still do have a few scientists in the career and love occults and give my aliens the love they deserve, can't say much for rocket ships and building them is broken anyway currently.
Are you still playing a Doctor or Detective? I recently did play with detectives but have very few if any doctors I play, I never liked how that career worked.
Are you still playing Vampires? Meeting, marrying, playing as a vampire or filling towns with townie vamps? I used to be obsessed with playing vamps, in fact I created whole lore and stories that I shared here years ago, but all the hype died down a bit for me after the magic casters came out, but my bleeding heart still lies with them.
Do you still make a Sim run a vet office? I've not yet had a Sim run a vet clinic.
Are you still visiting OR as vacation world with many different Sims? Haven't visited it once, I confess.
Are you still making Sims woohoo in bushes? That happens on its own from time to time wherever bushes are available.
Are you still making Sims play with the Critter thing for kids? I wish there were better ways to make the Voidcritter gameplay more immersive so I can play with my Sim kids more, I know there are some mods recently that offer more immersive play as well as let older Sims play, so I might try that soon.
Do you still play with the backyard splash thingy or do most Sims not like that in the backyard anymore? I think I've only ever used it once, and besides those things are too long to fit most spaces.
Do you still have those formal parties you paid for in the extra DLC back when the game was new? Don't even know what you're talking about.
Do you still play Eco Living and all those NAPS? Or still make Sims forget modern life and live off the grid? I actually do in fact, after some mod tweaking and settings; I'm working to try to make most lots green across all worlds so to avoid the industrial footprints as much as possible and ensure no annoying NAPs end up getting voted in the neighborhoods. I have not tried off-the-grid living yet.
Are you still making your Sims knit their fingers off? Have only tried the knitting a couple times with an old granny I made, but so far that's it.
Do your Sims still live in all the apartment types in the CL EP? Or did those bugs and rats and other type lot trait things finally get old? I love the apartment gameplay and have all of San Myshuno occupied with my Sims and unplayed ones. I just wish you could build your own apartments tho...
Do you still make your Sims attend most festivals in CL? Seeing as I have many sims living in the city, I tend to visit them all the time, so yes.
Do you still make Sims go on dates when another Sim calls your Sim? That date mechanic is terrible and I only start dates with other Sims, not the other way around.
Are you still making Sims attend the Raves in WB? I think I stopped getting notifs for them long ago, idk if it's bugged or my mods suppressing it, but I just don't see them anymore.
Are you still making Sims be mermaids or mere people? I planned to make more Mersims when the pack came out but never made the time to do so. Only the premade ones and a couple I made exist.
Do you still make Sims do all the things in the island pack? Or just visit from time to time and play another way? I like living in the island world but it's too niche for most other sims so I keep Island living gameplay to Sims living in the world mainly.
Are you still making Sims visit the Japan mountains in the snowy pack? Do you still make a Sim climb? I have not yet sent Sims to vacation there nor have tried mountain climbing yet. I do have Sims who live there and occasionally visit the venues and festivals.
Are you still making Sims learn magic? I had planned to make lots of casters when the pack came out but there was this big bug where it wouldn't save their spell progress across saves that's been fixed but the damage was done; I've only started weaning myself back to making more casters again only to remember that the gameplay itself needs other mods to make it less bland and repetitive and much more thoughtful and immersive.
I noticed you didn't mention farming and university so I'll bring those up: I only recently got Cottage living and have only made one farmer sim to date, I think so far one is enough to occupy my time with using the pack, and so far I do enjoy some parts of it with that Sim.
As for university, I like making college-aged sims to attend but also find it egregious how it doesn't jive with my rotational way of playing my games. I do however have alt saves specifically dedicated to the Uni lifestyle.
And for the misc other stuff:
No, I have not gone to the Batuu world, nor will I prob ever plan to.
No, I have not tried the home decorator career, plus at this point in my save I've basically edited everyone's houses already by now.
No, I don't regularly visit the jungle of Selvadorada, it's specific to only a few Sims I play.
Yes, I do try to make teens earn good character values from Parenthood.
No, I haven't yet had a Sim own a restaurant, plus it's a chore and a hassle to make that pack work to begin with. I have lots of restaurants for my Sims to eat at though.
Yes, I do use the Spas often, more often than others in certain occasions even before the refresh. I like the wellness skill as well.
I have currently one household so far that lives in a haunted house, and that's prob all I need. I have not tried the paranormal career yet.
Tiny living lots, who? Idk her.
I got one Moschino fashion studio form the Gallery and that's all I need for any of that gameplay.
I rarely get small rodent pets for my Sims.
I use the laundry system occasionally, but not too often bc I don't want the system in all my households.
I literally have one bowling club that exists solely for bowling.
I only have one family so far that has a butler, I feel that the system needs more tweaks so other households should be able to have butlers as well, and also ones that actually properly do their jobs and work.
I rarely use the wishing well, but it's placed down somewhere that's available.
I forget that Spooky Stuff even had gameplay objects.
Yes, I do like using the popcorn machine, ice cream maker, and hot tub, but forget the fountain table exists. Well, at least we'll get new ones in that wedding pack huh.
And then, there's Bust the Dust... :neutral:
If you want a TL;DR, basically I play more in CAS these days or in B/B mode editing lots than actually playing the game, and when I do, it's modded everywhere to the point it's prob not the same game anymore.
