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?

Most of these I'm guilty of too. My main problem is traits, there are some I can't seem to do without like, Loves Outdoors, Creative, neat, all nicey, nicey sims and can be boring, but I do it over and over...gah! But there are just some traits I've tried and hated, active? I have to fight them tooth and nail to keep them from exercising just not worth it. I need to get my sims out of Utopia and start mistreating them, lol. Too often they are very happy, I even had a sim jump up and kick his heels together...I knew then I'd have to change up my playing. :#

I have to curtail restarting a game save from scratch just because I want my Sims to experience a new pack from the beginning. At least this go-around, I'm restarting my Global Superstar to try a few different strategies to get him noticed by the Accolades. And, after quite some time I'm finally back playing with my Ancestral game save, which meant I had to restart. Plus, we now have the off-the-grid lot trait, which makes 18th century living a tad more realistic.

Building extensive living and activity areas in the basement because I don't feel like making or getting a larger house to have these areas above ground.

Or maybe I'm a bunkerphile idk.
