What have you learned about your game style
I've tried a variety of saves and options. This is what I've become as a player I hate normal life span. Loathe I only enjoy aging set to off I age manually and that takes a long time Death is...

Very interesting to read everyone's experience. My conclusion is that my playstyle seems to vary between the different sims iterations.
In sims 1 I greatly enjoyed playing a selfsim
In sims 2 I enjoyed playing the legacy challenge. The family tree and the genetics system were great. I hate how culling sims in the sims 4 can ruin family trees. As for the genetics but loved them in sims 2. That version also had a cheat that let the player check on the genes of a sim, even recessive genes. I loved tracking this through generations
Sims 3 was during a real life break from the game. I only played it a little but never liked it because of the look of the sims, the fact that most EP had their own world, separated from other worlds. I also dislike story progression and what it does to other families I placed in the world.
In sims 4, I started out playing families like I did in sims 2. But the lack of proper genetics and the threat of culling deceased family members in family trees has made legacy style play less attractive for me. I have started occasionally playing adult only households because of all the packs centered around playing adults. To my surprise I enjoy this from time to time. Sims 4 is also a game that lends itself towards building up a supersim because we can freely switch between aspirations and master so many skills .
Elements of my gameplay in sims 4:
- I turned off the effect of heat and cold on the sims. I enjoy the weather in the game but don't want to worry about freezing to death
- I don't play the fame system
- if I want more challenge in a household I turn on laundry, the dust system and the simple living challenge. But I don't do this for every household.
- no NAP's in my game except the ones that change the look of evergreen harbour
- no neighbourhood stories
- aging is off for unplayed households. For played households it depends
- most households have at least one occult family member. This is not a set rule, but I just can't resist adding them
