What is your favourite way to play The Sims 4?

Building is a close second to playing, I have lots of fun with the build system but it doesn't take long for the urge to play a sim to draw me back in.

CAS often frustrates me. I'll struggle and get close to the look I'm after then try some tweak that messes it all up and I end up just clicking the dice till I get something good enough to get back into the game.

Definitely just playing. I try to get through building and CAS asap and just start living my sims lives. I'm surprised so many people chose playing! I feel like I always see people online who solely build, but perhaps it is the vocal minority?

In previous versions I spent a long time dressing my Sims, then played and played and couldn't get bored.

The gameplay isn't great in Sims 4 though, and despite all the clothing choices, without a color wheel to make things match, I don't care as much about what they're wearing. The building is great, though.
