What era/century does your sim(s) live in?

I usually play in 2018 but a lot of the time my furniture and houses end looking more like 2000s than 2010s because it reminds me of my childhood. (even though i'm not even 20 yet i'm just barely an adult lmao). it seems more realistic to me because i don't know many people with super modern aesthetically pleasing houses.

Mine just live in the present. I could easily wish for a Renaissance stuff pack, however...so many gorgeous outfits *drool*

1 save in the present and 1 save in 18th century. But it's not easy as there are not many clothes or possibilitys. It's boring staying on the same lot all the time. Bit if you travel... hmm your Sim makes kind of a timetravel into the future :D

The problem I would have with such a stuff pack is that the devs always go overboard and I can already see that, after installing it, all generated townies would spawn with these outfits. Would be really annoying for those who play in a present setting. They could only make something like this when we can finally blacklist cas items so random townies don't wear them.

All of my saves I consider to be in the current era, because with cell phones and other technological things you can't disable, it breaks immersion for me when I try to play otherwise.

I like to imagine that most of my saves are set in the 1990's, I just consider TS4 set in that era as it's an alternative timeline that comes before TS2, what I think is in 2004! I try to keep my household's electronics in a 90's style and have a lot of old deco for that. I also try to avoid using smartphones. x)

I always play in the 21st century except for the exception of my Vane legacy. They're vampire-esque royalty.

I guess you could pretend that they are time travler's living in that time period. lol

In my mind, it's more of a 'what if …' scenario. Instead of playing their lives out all the way to the end, I'm not going to let my sixth great-grandmother pass away as she did. She was all of 33 and had complications with the birth of her tenth child. To top that off they had to rush to the Fort due to an Indian uprising. She passed away at the fort just prior to the attack.

21st century. I would need a mountain of mods to create convincing gameplay in another era. I wish the option existed within the game though. Would love to play different time periods.
