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...

The Sims 4 has turned it upside down.
I held off starting families and only played never-aging young adults because the family game play just wasn't there when the game first began.
But that changed when we got Toddlers and Parenthood.
So I took all my YAs and aged them down to toddlers and gave them parents in CAS.
I was finally going to have my sims marry and start families. However, I had to play them through their toddler, child, and teen years.
But...
I had to stop when the first teens in Rotation were about to become young adults.
I need University. So I put them on hold until we got University.
But...
I discovered teens were boring.
So I came up with the idea to create a prep-school for teens that were going to University.
I could have a bunch of teens from the various neighborhood under one roof in a prep-school setting.
I would use the prep-school as a rotation point for group of sims rotating in and out of Uni between terms.
I found this quite enjoyable and teens were more interesting.
I could play them all through Uni. And I discovered I loved making over the dormies. I thought my group of sims would pair up with each other. The dormies changed all that. I wanted to add them to my collection of sims and make the world so much richer.
But...
The TS4 sim world is huge now, and I have a huge amount of sims I really like.
I have more sims than I would want to rotate through. I have tons of new lots that I have added. And we have game scenarios now.
My approach to these scenarios is to create new sims and play them through the scenario and involve my favorite sims in their scenario.
What I really need to do is create a Master Save.
I don't want to rebuild my rich world with each new sim I create for a scenario. I need a Master Save with all my sims and lots already built and I can just play a copy of it when I want to start a new game.
So that's where I am.
I have all these sims that I have played since the start of Sims 4.
About a third of them have finished or are still in Uni, or prep-school.
Between playing the master save, I play other saves when a new pack comes out, so I can test it out before having my main sims use it. Any new creations that I like are transferred to the master save.
I need to do a major update to my master save.
It's been on hold for a while while I experimented with other game play.
But it will be complete when I have updated the lots, sims, and played everyone through Uni.
But...
I will still need to play it a smidge to give it that Sims 2 pre-existing story feel.
But...
Neighborhood stories.
Omg.
