Type of Player “Poll” (Choose from list.)
What type of player are you? I wish there was a “check all that apply” option for polls, but since there’s not, we’ll just do it as a regular post. Which of these apply to you? ___No Cheat Pete: Yo...

Wow, I never knew so much would apply to me! :p
Mod Addict: yep, definitely. Although I try to minimalize how many mods I use (rather unsuccessfully) but CC is completely way out of hand. My mods folder weighs 12,8 GB and counting...
Screenshot Sally, Poser, in a Good Way, Literati: all of these - so me. Stories taken in screenshots with the help of custom poses when the plot has something the game fails to provide - literally the only reason I play the sims.
By the way I love how all of these were standing in a row because for me neither of these can go without the other. :)
Sharin’ Sharon: Oh yes. First of all, if I don't share my work I feel like it was a complete waste of time. Why write a book if you wont publish it? Why draw a picture if you wont at least show it to your parents?
Especially with gaming. Because why play a game if you could be doing something more important instead? But sharing with other peoples gives it a purpose. Meaning. :)
Secondly, I love getting other people's thoughts on any of my work. I'm practically craving for reviews and opinions. It's weird because I'm also very shy. It's always the dilemma of "what if they hate it" and "ughh, but I want to know what they think".
Secret Sadist: although I was never amused by drowning my sim or starving them to death I must admit I constantly throw some drama at them... sometimes probably too much... :D
When I first started playing I wasn't any of these player types. I didn't know about mods, storytelling, sharing and my sims lived happy perfect lives. But there is one player type I always was, am and will be. And it is... drumroll...
The Obsessive Perfectionist! Constantly pausing to give out interactions for all of my sims so no one was randomly standing around or doing his own thing? Controlling every move my sims make? Getting irritated every time something doesn't go according to plan? Resetting my sims instead on cancelling interactions because they take too long and we're on schedule? Yep, that's me! :D I'm getting better, but nowhere near playing with free will on at all times.
