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...

I have a tendency to fall 'in love' with my Sim characters. (I create my own in CAS and rarely play a premade). I play the same ones over and over and over again. This is mainly because something has gone wrong every time I try to reach the ultimate goal. I want to see Erik on stage giving it his all as an Elder. The oldest he's gotten in my game to date, is about 30. Then a patch hits and breaks mods I need, or I play risky with a broken mod and that blows up the save. Face/palm Or the latest was when the game decided to kill Erik off (not for the first time, either). It was a glitch, so I did a save recovery to find out just what happened. Made for an interesting plot twist, at least.
I only turn aging off when I have Sims in Uni and that's for everyone in the save. I turn it back on (if I remember, once I totally forgot), after the YAs have graduated.
I play on Long. I can handle death when it's timely.
I turned off Emotional deaths after I lost two Sims at the very same Event (my first experience with it) and later the game seemed to target my Main Character, Erik Cantrell. He died three separate times by Hysteria. He was on his way to dying again when another player asked if I had made a backup of my saves, prior to whatever patch that one was. I substituted the save for the copy and the game stopped targeting Erik. Phew. Yes, I am one of those who campaigned for more random deaths, too. There, I have written it aloud.
I love farming since HoB. I used to garden begrudgingly in Sims2 & 3.
I love large houses for my Sims. I feel all cramped by smaller abodes.
I'm not opposed to changing the house on the lot if the old one bores me. I changed Erik's house three times on the very same lot. The last time I had to 'fix' it so it sat on the lot facing forward instead of it facing the long side of the lot. Sad, I didn't keep a copy of that one. Just had to rebuild it, this time on the 64 X 64 to allow for chickens and maybe a cow and a llama, this time. I may need to tweak it, still, as it seems too narrow, on the whole.
I have to have a singer Sim in my game.
I can't play a proper rotation in this game, as I must stay with Erik and his family.
Sometimes, when starting over I have to switch a few things out to make it new again.
Sometimes, I find myself playing things the same way, particularly in the beginning of a new Iteration of Erik.
I created my own twist when I decided to go off-script and have Kayleigh be one of identical triplet sisters. I just gave them the names of the women my Cantrell boys married in my mini-series (see my siggie). I've since decided this go-around to put the other families back in game so that the grandchildren won't all look so much alike it's hard to distinguish whose Child is whose. :open_mouth:
I would much rather sit and play my game over doing about anything else. (This is bad news.)
