What aspect of the Sims 4 do you enjoy most?

I chose build/buy mode as it’s too time consuming to create outfits in CAS without create-a-style, and there isn’t many fun activities for sims to do in live mode.

There are no cars or amusement parks with rides, carnival games and candy floss. There are no banks to rob for our criminal sims. There are no resorts or casinos. There is no water skiing, wind surfing, paddle boats or speed boats. There is no tennis or golf. There is no candy making skill so sims can make chocolates to sell in their retail stores. There is no charcuterie skill so sims can make ham, bacon and sausages from around the world for the deli department of their grocery stores.

I love CAS, and the flexibility it affords. I love the ability in CAS to create anything from aliens to freakishly disformed sims to supermodels.

I've become fairly decent at it, but there are some here that are far better than I am

Anymore I would say ( because of bugs )…..
40%. Gameplay
20%CAS
20% browsing the gallery
And
20% B/B……

5 years ago it was mostly Gameplay.

I spend the majority of my time playing...like 70-80%, so I said Gameplay. But, I truly believe that TS2 has far better gameplay than TS4 and the reason I play TS4 way more than TS2 is that CAS and Building are dramatically superior in TS4.

So...despite voting Gameplay, technically the reason I'm playing is because of everything except the gameplay. I'm a walking contradiction.

torn between build/buy and cas, but bb is what im truly able to get lost in, i can put hours into it and and return to the same build over multiple days. with cas, the stars need to align or something for me to truly enjoy it but when i do its extremely fun. gameplays a bit similar in that regard, but i always lose interest before i can actually do any of the things i planned to do, so i always end up a bit disappointed.

I spend most of my time in build/buy when I play just because the gameplay in the sims 4 usually bores me after an hour. I still play the sims 2 and 3. The sims 2 for the gameplay and the sims 3 for gameplay and the open world. When I want to build or decorate I play the sims 4. Even CAS is a lot better in the sims 4 but I've never been one to stay in CAS long.
65% build/buy
25% gameplay
10% CAS

I like both building and story telling however building my own house designs are awful but I build fine when building real life houses.

To me, NPC aging and the ability to talk to another sim while doing something make the game play in Sims 4 already superior to Sims 2.

(A more minor point for the game, but a big deal for me personally, is that 17 years after same-sex marriage started to become legal in the USA we still can't do it in TS2, we can only have those "commitment ceremonies" which were always such bittersweet exercises in real life)

I know gameplay is crucial, but that in TS4 is so bland compared with TS2 that I have it and CAS about equal. I discovered years ago that TS4 CAS is almost a game in itself thanks to the great variety of options. The addition of CC has only added to the fun. Now, if only the CC folks were more careful with their meshes...

> It's actually a combination of all. I enjoy gameplay the most but can get lost in creating sims or building from time to time. I use the gallery mainly in a functional, practical way to cut down on time in CAS and BB when I want to return to gameplay quickly. I will rarely just browse the gallery but I am happy it's there when I quickly want to grab something for my game.

Very much agreed, and also to add on, gameplay in TS4 is more interesting than CAS a lot of times.
