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...
Forum Discussion
Fun thread! As for me...
___Skill Builder: Definitely. I can't play the game "just like that", I need goals for my sims, which more often than not involves skills, jobs and aspirations I have in mind for them.
___Shut-In: Yep, but only because I don't want to spend half of my play time looking at loading screens.
___Force the Game into Submission: Well, this is pretty much mandatory with how little cool stuff the game actually allows us to do (and how much of that is broken because of bugs). If I want something in the game that isn't there by default, I usually create it myself with a mixture of misusing existing features for my intended purposes, mods, imagination and playing pretend.
___Screenshot Sally: All the time! My screenshot folder actually weighs more than my mod folder.
___Literati: I don't have a tattoo on my arm that says "Simlit", nor will I ever consider that, but yeah, I am in fact a writer and often use this game to bring my stories and characters to life. Even completely original families and sims who aren't from any of my novels usually get a decent background, and at the moment I'm working on a YouTube series filmed with The Sims.
___Different Day, Same Sim: Not all of them, but my simself and family, Lara Croft and a few of my own novel characters have so far appeared in some form in every iteration of The Sims that I've played.
___Casual Zigzag: I honestly thought that was the definition of rotational play...
