What Are Your "Bad Simming Behaviors"?
With "bad simming behaviors", I mean things that you do in your games that hinder you in getting out the best of the game's content. For me, it's the fact that I always, since TS3, think up the story ...

My bad simming habbits, jeez where to even start:
Min maxing, I always seem to end up turning my sim into a super sim with maxed out skills, career and traits.
I used to really struggle to get past the young adult stage with ANY sim. Now I've got to the point where I'll let them age all the way up to elder and even let them die, but only if it's not my super sim that was never meant to be a super sim (letting their family members age and die is progress though, it's only taken 3 games to reach this point though haha).
I give them complete free reign as far as autonomy goes, well in the settings at least. I always pause the game to queue up the actions of each of my house hold's sims to stop them wasting time doing other things instead of the things I want them to do. This has improved though, I only really do this on community lots.
I never really get to the 3rd generation unless I have already created the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation in create a family, even then I don't get past generation 3.
Always using the same traits or a similar combination.
Not letting my sim kids grow up until they've maxed all four aspirations.
Somehow one of my sims in the house hold always seems to have a string of lovers, because one's not enough right.
The list just goes on haha.
