One of my vampires invites himself to peoples' houses all the time too, regardless of whether he even knows them (most often not since he's just there to feed). That's something I most definitely wouldn't do. I have never even done a surprise visit to friends/family, that's just something I REALLY wouldn't like anyone to do to me either. Like, suddenly a friend just comes knocking on my door like "Hi, I happened by. Let's hang out." Bruh, don't. A little warning would be appreciated.
I'd say romancing and family play both. I'm ace who has no interest for intimate relationships and having kids but I find that fun in the Sims. (Although I do also have sims who I play as disinterested in romance.) Many of my sims end up having kids at some point because not only do I find that gameplay engaging, it's also interesting to see the genetics at work (which is why one of my first mods for TS2 and TS3 were ones allowing same sex pregnancy so I didn't have to keep adopting those boring looking sims lol). You know, that's one thing. IRL I really appreciate people who adopt but in the Sims I want to see what the genetics do.
Overall drama and chaos. I seem to gravitate away from "traditional happy families" (there's usually something a bit odd going on) and I tend to grow most attached to my sims who have flawed personalities (e.g. Evil, Mean, Hot-headed, etc) or who otherwise manage to mess around like flirting with everyone they come across with no care for any heartbreak. IRL I prefer things to stay nice and friendly, no unnecessary drama needed, but that's just boring in the game :D. I think if some of my favorite sims suddenly became real people, I actually wouldn't stand them cuz they are such rude/thoughtless jerks haha.
