What Are Your "Bad Simming Behaviors"?

For me, it's the fact that I always, since TS3, think up the story of my sims before I even created them, thus leading to my playstyle to only follow this particular story. It can be fun when you finally get to that story, but the time in between can be really boring and dull. The problem with this playstyle is that it has no real surprises that just happen to let the game stay fresh, so I am really often bored when I don't play out a story-line.

I think in scenarios too and do the exact same thing. Not just for my Sim but later on during game play in terms of NPCs he or she might meet. From there I work on the added scenario/s I wish to play out in the game once the different NPCs come into play. I'm bad at getting bored and then starting a new game. I agree achieving a desired scenario can be boring and dull at times. I do things like use mods for things to enhance the scenarios I come up with. Sometimes the Sims don't want to go with the plan and I think ok I can definitly work with this other times it destroys the planned scenario/s and it gets super boring, dull and annoying really fast. Come up with an alternative scenario for the sudden change in plans. Of the NPCs I have a few faves I love having my Sims encounter and get a little "sad" if they don't get to at least meet them. Right now I'm experimenting with a couple customs traits I found, Apollo and Aphrodite traits. I love to see how these traits work with interactions between different NPCs. Especially since I would prefer her to have a more romantic relationship with one and less with another. Then I think I can work with this and add it in Things like club invites are random and if she's invited I'll have her join and from there rework a scenario. Though I do come up with club specific Sims to play and have a mod where they can create or join up to 8 clubs and another which allows up to 50 sims to join.
