What are things you wouldn't do in real life (but could), but find yourself doing a lot in-game?

Deleting Sims that become too bothersome to exist. There are one or two people in my RL universe I would love to pay to move out of our town, and if I could afford it, they would be living on the east coast or beyond. Yes, store clerk, I am talking about you. And your cousin the barista.

Makeup. Yes, I have worn it IRL, but it is such a time and money sink! Plus, if you didn't develop the skills in middle school, nobody has the tolerance for an appearance not up to snuff. So, pretty on Sims, but a pain on me.

And then, yeah. The give-me promiscuity, theft, drama, crime, etc.

oh yeah makeup. the thing is I adore red lipstick and little bit of eyeliner/mascara on my sims but oh boy is it awful in real life because you always see the border between real lipcolor and lipstick and excuse me if i rub my eyes whenever i please too

cannot be bothered to fix it everytime i mess it up either and removing makeup is whole another torture

I'll just not wear it in first place solves all problems

(also saves me whole loads of money yes)

same goes for nails
I love mighty red or black claw but i simply cannot function with having long nails nor do i really know how to do nails well enough to even attempt

One of the things that really struck me, on thinking about this question is not saying hello and goodbye in the game or smoothly ending conversations rather than just walking away. It feels rude and the sims don't seem to like it, but the options are not always available. Boring, but immersion breaking.

Having kids - almost all my sims have kids, but I have no desire to reproduce IRL.

Things I can easily do in Sims 4 but which are impossible (or much harder) in real life - buying a house becoming a successful novelist, getting work promotions, being able to use magic

I don't want/like kids in real life and yet in sims most of my sims end up having big families and I enjoy playing with toddlers XD

yeah i mean i would irl magic too but im kinda just too lazy really like i was gonna inspect this one portal but then i realized i could just like watch netflix ya know and then i watch this one show for hours and now im too tired to inspect portals n all

Having my sims stay awake all day. I need a nap. Edit: work promotions, talking to strangers everywhere I go.

Throwing parties, partaking in activities like rock climbing or skating without accidentally injurying myself, talking to strangers, romancing people, having kids, committing an occasional murder or two...

A lot pregnancies, raising kids, talking to strangers, setting up a lot of successful businesses (restaurants, shops...)
