What type of stuff do you always end up doing in your saves, no matter how much you try to do something else?Things I do: -when I make a family, I always end up making really weird drama happen, like one of the kids is secretly a vampire. -I come up with a great idea for a sim and basically plan out their whole life, then when I actually plan them, I get bored really quickly and make a new household.These are only two of many things I do. 😬What do you guys do that you wish you didn’t in your sims games?

I play Sims that are pretty similar. Most of my sims make money from painting or gardening, so I'd like to use the other careers. And, stop making Sims who have the same few traits - I want to try out playing an evil sim (but I hate being mean to my other sims, because I like them so much!).

One time I kidnapped like 10 sims, put them in my basement in cells, and used them for my vampire. I only used sims who had really good plasma though.?♀️ Don’t ask me why I did this. I don’t even know.

I have a big rotation, and most of my families/ households are fairly different as far as jobs and living conditions go. I get attached to my sims though and have aging off and rarely turn it on.... there is always the next expansion, gamepack or stuff pack I want them to be able to experience... lol. And because I do not play each family equally some have high skills in a lot of things. Also I tend to make sure most (at least the cook in the family) of my sims watch the cooking channel on tv till it is maxed.

I can only manage one dysfunctional family at a time.

What do you do in The Sims that you really need to stop doing, but keep coming back to?

I need to play a true legacy and let the eldest sim be the heir, lol!! I started a new legacy, because my last one (while a favorite) got a bit out of control trying to keep up with all the kids and then choosing my favorite to be the heir instead of the eldest.

I need to stop decorating my sims homes in the same bright modern styles and try some different styles.

I need to stop changing houses every darn week. I spend so much time on making new houses when I just want to play with the family. I hate it yet I cant stop doing it.

Having babies too quickly. I have one, then I want them to have a sibling.. Before I know it theres 4 toddlers running around. I need to space out when my sims have kids better. It is not easy to take care of a bunch of little ones. I tell myself I need to wait till the first one is closer to being a child before having another baby.

I don’t know what I need to stop doing but I need to start keeping tabs on how many and types of venues I’ve got. I forget.

Well, I just killed off Jacques Villareal so I can move the kids to Sulani. (Next step: turning Max into shark food.)

I tend to use certain traits way too often so all my Sims end up similar type; I'm addicted to playing creative Sims because it's a good way to make a lot of money. I want to use the Randomize Traits button that's coming in today's patch in the hopes it might help break the habit.

Starting new saves. I'm now starting to play in rotation with lots of new families. Let's see if changing scenary constantly will help me with that.

When I start a new save, Before I start playing, I go through certain pre-mades and give them makeovers. It started when I decided to give J Huntington III a makeover, because he bothered me every time I saw him. New hairstyle, snappy new clothes, and a five o'clock shadow....turns out, he's not so irritating to look at when he walks down the street. Then it kinda escalated from there. With all the makeovers I have to do, it takes me nearly a day to start a new save before I can even start playing.
