What is your favourite way to play The Sims 4?

I love to play the game and create families/legacies even with the NPCs. I also edit the Townies and their last names so they won't have the same last name unless they are related. I know people can share the same last name and not be related but it's how I identifty certain families.
I do spend some time in CAS when my sim changes their style or ages up. And I love sims to dress uniquely or at least not the same outfit as others. I don't build but I furnish if I get tired of the way a house lools since I play with legacy families. With all that being said, I am a solely gameplayer/storyteller.
