Over the past year-year and a half or so, I keep starting new saves every few months (give or take) just to recreate the same main sims and play out their lives in virtually the same way. Nine times out of ten, I’ve restarted due to glitches and what not, but I’m currently restarting because I now have a new computer capable of running this game the way it’s meant to be run. I’m really excited about finally getting to play on it, but I wish I had realized beforehand how long saving lots from the old save to transfer to the new computer would take...:lol:
Anyway, I’ve come to the conclusion that I must be a hopeless romantic. Whenever my sims become involved with someone, they always marry them and stay with them for their entire lives. I play “player” sims occasionally, but not nearly as often as I play faithful ones. In the saves I’ve been playing over the past year or so, the main sim I play marries the same townie, has two children, has the same career, lives in the same world, etc. Her younger sister grows up playing with the League of Adventurers, where she befriends all three children and becomes BFFs with Elsa Bjergsen. There’s some tension within the family due to the older sister not wanting her younger sister getting mixed up with local “bad boy” Max Villareal, but the younger sister’s not the type to obey authority, even if her older sister is her guardian. Once the children grow up, the younger sister ends up dating Max behind her sister’s back. He’s actually a very sweet character once you get used to his Evil trait, and I like fleshing out his character. As many times as I’ve played as him, I feel that he’s not genuinely evil; just damaged from his unstable upbringing and loss of his mother. He makes a really good father and wonderful partner to my sim, and I adore a childhood sweetheart storyline. I love it so much that as many times as I’ve played it with my sims, I go back to it repeatedly. I find it so interesting that many players do cause a lot of drama and break-ups in their games, and I’m over here planning wedding after wedding and happily-ever-after after happily-ever-after. :joy: Maybe I’m just too “good”.
