What is you favorite type of family to play?

I like playing married supernaturals the most I think. It is just fun to see how their lineage will turn out especially when I have played with hybrids before. I also the the challenge of running a full household whether it has toddlers or pets in it.

I like playing as a single person while I build my skills, career and work on myself first. Then maybe I'll find a baby maker. I don't really care about the spouse really ahaha just want my genes in the child and the extra income lol.

i've been playing the same sim since I got the game. A few times I tried to play out a family or a married couple and I dunno, it's just not for me

I enjoy playing "patchworkfamilies" where one or both partners bring a child from an earlier relationship, then they may or may not have kids together and perhaps also adopt/foster another one. Sooner or later these couples will marry, that's why I voted "married". But in the beginning they will live together unmarried for a long time. You'd think there'd be a lot of conflict within these families, but there isn't, because I want that better than life experience where a family acts as a close-knit unit and defines itself by their bond instead of by their blood.

EDIT: Actually my favourite type of household is 4-6 roommates, everything from college students sharing a dorm to tourists lost in primeval forests. Family play comes second for me. But this poll was about families, so I voted for my favourite type of family.

I play single sims a lot, but really my favorite families to play are single, working parents and two parent households where both parents work full-time outside of the home with a kid or three. Mainly, this is because I couldn't play that kind of household at all in TS2 without having to endure either the busybody social worker or the lazy, inept nanny. Now, I can create more realistic families that actually function instead of being forced into having to choose between a traditional nuclear family with one parent who stays at home with the kids, working parents and a worthless nanny who does nothing all day but watch T.V. and run up a bill, or having my kids confiscated by an overzealous civil servant just because. I love the versatility of TS4's family structures so much...*happy sigh*

I like playing single households most. I dunno, it might have to do with how I live in real life. I’m much more comfortable being alone and having the freedom to do what I want in my own digs (I’m quite the lone wolf). Most of my single households aren’t exactly single though. I like to have pets for them, as I do in real life as well.

I voted single, but about half the time I do a couple of roomies so they have some company, whether in TS2 or 4. Life alone can be a real bummer.

I'm torn between the married with 4 children (sometimes there's multiples in the mix) and singles with kids. Because I also love the hectic setting of a single mother (or father) just serving with 2-3 kids (possibly more down the line) and yet still manages to make it through, sometimes they become bad eggs, sometimes they become really responsible individuals, but that's the beauty of it that I love <3.

I think that's why my favorite families in TS2 were the Broke, Dreamer, and Pleasant family. Since weather the family had two parents or one, there were always troubles.

Brandi grieving her husband as a single mom with two boys and one unexpected on the way. As a kid just getting TS2 after playing TS1, I was just happy for the dollhouse effect of the game...But after actually playing a family like that really put a scenario I never dreamed of. In some saves, Dustin becomes a good kid, gets his act together and goes to college while Brandi remarries and gets Beau and the "unammed child" (I usually name him Skip jr. lol) into a private school. Or I could let Dustin go down a very bad path (well not tooo bad, don't want him to get taken away :lol: ) and Brandi finally decides to kick him out after he drops out of school. Daniel then refuses for his daughter to ever date such a kid and Dustin moves in alone in dirty apartment, but then that's when I decide It's up to me

Then there's Daniel Pleasant cheating that pretty much at the start of the game and Mary-Sue who comes home :lol: it gets pretty crazy and in some ways. For one example, their relationship was fully red, and so Mary-Sue finally divorced Daniel. Daniel's worst fear came true and met and the doctor came down from the sky (I freaking loved that feature :lol: ) after feeling so broken. Mary-Sue then kicked Daniel out but soon regretted it since the girls became really wild. Lilly spent more time at Dirk's house, since he felt more like family to her. Angela would mostly fight with her dad in shame of him. And well the list goes on :lol:

"Every family has a story" <--is the play I pretty much do. Weather they were created in CAS or if they were born in game through a long line of generations. There's a story in there just waiting to be told <3.

I actually play multiple types of households. Eventually, they usually marry and have one or several children. I generally don't let them have more than that, though I have let one household where it kind of fit the story line. I'm not really into playing a house with more than a couple of kids though, so that's my most common maximum.

I miss ‘all of them’. Cause I don’t have a preference, I like to vary and can’t say one composition is more or less fun than the other.
