What are your best gameplay tips?
I saw a thread on Twitter for gameplay tips and a lot of them I thought were really great. For example, tucking in a toddler gives you a sweet moodlet. Or parents can give their teens "the woohoo talk...

My tip is to step out of your comfort zone sometimes, especially when you start feeling bored with the game.
If you always give your Sims positive traits, try giving each of them at least one negative trait. Every human has flaws and it can be more entertaining to try to work around them. It adds a little more depth to the personality.
If you have a tendency to make flawless looking Sims with a specific body type, try mixing it up and giving them an unusual feature. Again, no human is perfect, so having one or more physical flaws can make a Sim personality stand out. Bad teeth, bent nose, ears that stick out, mousy hair, big thighs, round belly, droopy eyes... I have found that I can fall into the same pattern when creating Sims, but when I break that pattern and challenge myself, I end up really loving those Sims too.
If you play the same story, change it up. If you play mostly with singles, try a family. If you play happy families, try a romancing scoundrel. If you never let Sims die, take a few chances and walk on the wild side. Mixing up gameplay can suddenly make your game feel new and suspenseful.
Also, if you find yourself running out of ideas or fall into a rut, head over to the creative corner of the forums where people share challenges and stories and grab some inspiration. Try out things you've never done before. :smile:
