What Are Your "Bad Simming Behaviors"?

Wanting to get to that 'story' in my head so badly, that I rush things. For instance, I'm using a couple of mods that might make it possible for me to create the illusion of having a singer Sim in this game, too. I created this family for a novel I wrote. The first four children, three boys and a girl, were all about 2-3 years apart in age. I got antsy, fairly recently, and aged the first boy to a teen. (I play on Long and choose for myself when it's 'time'.) Then, I raised up my potential musical genius to teen, followed too quickly by the third son. Daughter was yet a toddler, very close to skilling out, so I waited on her. This made me unhappy in the long run. Not only that, but the mod I was using got updated, so of course I replaced it. Then wondered why all of his progress had disappeared on me. :open_mouth: When I got a chance to play yesterday, I decided to take the family back into cas.fulleditmode and adjust their ages. I made the younger two boys children again, so that their sister could 'catch up'. My singer now has to work his way out of the F grade, but he'll get there.

Fixing the problem this way, was a distinct step up for me. Normally, I throw the baby out with the bath water and start completely fresh. This time, I chose to pick up the dropped stitch, as it were, and go forward from there. :)
