What is your favorite thing to do in the game? and what packs help that?

My favorite thing used to be gardening, but it's been ruined, first Seasons ruined crafting plants and later when they fixed it we had a new bug that makes the plants revert to dirt piles frequently. I hope it gets fixed some day.

I think my favorite thing nowadays are pets, I love cats & dogs in Sims 4 and I also love rodents. The vet career is amazing, it works so well, there's no bugs and it's just so much fun to treat adorable pets.
It gives me so much joy to watch the pets playing together and I always seem to catch new interactions between them. When my Sims are doing work tasks or something else that takes a lot of time I used to fast forward a lot, but now I just put the camera follow a pet and I'm entertained. :)

I play so many random households and I have a lot of saves, I enjoy a lot of things in Sims 4. I guess I'm also very much all over the place in my game.
I love all the packs (except Eco Lifestyle), but my favorites are Cats & Dogs, Island Living, Snowy Escape and Vampires. I like family play a lot, but I'm not into realistic play, I love occults as well. I like relaxing and slow paced gameplay, I'm not in a hurry.
Among animals, toddlers are amazing in Sims 4, they're adorable and very entertaining, I love their temper tantrums and happy giggles and everything. <3
I guess Parenthood and Toddler Stuff pack are very important packs in my game too.

Thank you for your reply, you sound like you play much like myself, I do love seeing the toddlers as well and just the chaos they can bring, I had 4 at one time and that was just insanity. hahaha. I always go back to my single gal whom is almost maxed out in all skills. I guess I wanted to create one master of all. but I love all of it. I just get bored and then I put on some music and log out, hahaha. or I build things which I love. I just think I suck at real story telling. hahha

I have about 400 played Sims now, so you can guess I pretty much do a little of everything. :)

I seem to use City Living, Get Together, and Go to Work more than anything else. My Sims always join clubs and go to festivals, and I use the science career a lot. I also use Strangerville in a lot of different ways. Strangerville can be helpful with paranoid conspiracy theorist Sims, Victorian houses, and cowboy clothes, in addition to the great world. I love retro styles so I use Go Bowling a lot too.

I'm all over the place since 2000 :lol: what i like more is to play legacies and watch kids grow, become adults, follow their desires, get a family and make the family tree keep growing.
But i also love to play in rotation and have everyone's stories connected to each others.
Recently i have been playing some kind of colonizing game: start in a blank save and only my sims home until all worlds are full.
I also like to throw a challenge here and there, like the asylum challenge or so many others...

I change between this kind of playstyles all the time. I'm super inconsistent :lol:

ETA i need all the packs so that i can change playstyle with no problems. I like to have all content around.

I love rotational play and creating different kind of families to play. For that all packs help, I really use them all :smiley: Just recently I've been setting up my third retail store and it has been lots of fun, so I feel like I should give a special mention for Get to Work. In normal gameplay I probably use City Living, Seasons and Get Famous the most.

I like to play a lot of ways so I'm not boxed in.... but if I want giggles... and often do, I sometimes default to making over the top characters and play in a deviant(ish) black comedy way.
I really need packs like Get To Work for mad scientists, Strangerville for infection/possession and sci-fi, military presence and paranoia and ROM for making good and bad witches.

Nearly every pack though has something that furthers what kind of characters I can have and what they can do. What hobbies or careers they have, their hairstyles, even the types of home and decor they have. So I need and want it all basically and more..
I do tend to cheer more though when I know a pack will have some really weird element or a new death type ect. Like I haven't played around much with Eco Living still but I dove into meat walls and bug farms quick. I wouldn't say I need it as much, but it has added in fun possibilities. I might not play with the CAS aspects or use much of the furniture in My First Pet, but a lot of sims have gone down to rabid rodent fever... ect. I could go on but I'm picking and choosing little things as examples.

I feel like I can just play sims normally also ... but for limited times. Like day to day family play or sending sims to work to see what happens and just further them in their life or career, or even just to see how some new gameplay item or element works can be fun for awhile. Also my sims not having a career or being tied down can be a favored way to play. Sims that just bounce around in life and in the world(s) and doing everything but career aspirations.

I like to turn real famous people in to sims and make them populate my game. I use Get Famous for that and Get Together to organise lavish parties with the stars.

I use eco litestyle, city living and get together the most. I like rotational play and my sims usually join clubs and go to festivals. I also like rom and vampires because of occults. You could try and turn every lot in one neighboorhood green. I think its pretty fun.

I love playing real famous people too, but I don't usually like them to be famous in my game. I play them mostly because it cracks me up to see things like Queen Elizabeth rummaging through a dumpster in Evergreen Harbor.

I like to make single sims and run very short stories. I like to try out all of the careers, and I like to see what happens with different trait types. I really enjoy when funny moments happen and that is my most favorite thing to do right now, create odd moments. I probably use Get Together, and Spa Day more than any other packs. I just love spas. And I love to use the calendar to create holidays, so I guess Seasons is a top use as well.

I rarely play villains, but I decided to make a smooth talking scoundrel. His adventures began with a very, uh, welcoming welcome wagon and then progressed thru the upper echelon of the simworld's best known citizens. Now he is the father of 15 lovely children, including twins with Bella. Once the Caliente triangle of doom is delivered, he will be the father of 18. I don't know how much longer this story will last as Nancy Landgraab is currently plotting his demise. But man, those lounge scenes with 5 or 6 pregnant ladies just standing around staring at each other while he chats up the bartender have been entertaining.
