What Kind of Sim Player Are you?

In every save I create my own characters and buildings to play with, but I also enjoy seeing who and what came with the packs. In my earlier Sims 4 saves I left most of the pre-made sims and lots in place, but in later saves I have replaced many of the existing households and lots with my own creations. Even when I wipe out most of the world there are still a few sims (like Vlad Straud or Brent and Brant Hecking) that I just happen to like and tend to leave in, or certain lots I like and use a lot. It depends on what I want for that story.

I typically keep everything the way it is on start up because I genuinely love the seeing the townies around & going to the standard venues. I might do a minor change to lots like add a sauna to the gym or something like that, but the venue is still the same. I leave all townies as they are because most of them are so iconic & the ones that aren't I never see/interact with anyway.

I scrap everything. I can't get attached to the premades because I didn't make them. And seeing them live out alternate lives in other people's games sort of disconnects me from them. So off they go along with their homes. As for lots I just change them because the premade ones are boring... and understandably so, they're meant to be sort of spruced up. I just haven't got the time for it.

A mix of the two! I am not at all good at building, so I leave some of the houses in and just redecorate. With sims, remove them all. I am an avid sim maker so I'm gonna need a place to put all my loves ♥

Usually I keep the premades but my own sims are the main characters. Sometimes I delete them though... usually if I'm making a themed save and they just don't fit in. It all just depends.

It's been a combination for me up until last September. I had a totally blank template with everything bulldozed and all premades deleted. I also had a template with all empty houses bulldozed, premades modified, some kept, some deleted and only one each of every type of venue. Both of those templates have since been deleted.

I now use a totally new custom template I made for any new save game. This template has almost all empty houses bulldozed, except a few smaller ones that I like, most premades still reside in their original houses, but they've all been modified a bit. I also added in all my favorite Sims from other saves and NPCs/Townies I've saved that I liked. They're all townies now or NPCs not in world. I like seeing my Sims wandering around or working in different NPC roles and I like knowing exactly who will be my mail person(s).

I still don't interact with premades very much. I might use one now and then for a spouse or love interest though. But I mostly just use my own Sims I put in this template for those purposes and concentrate on my main Sim(s) created for that particular save. Sometimes I'll put my main Sim(s) in one of the empty houses I kept, but 9 times out of 10 I build them a house after they've earned simoleons for one. I love starting out my Sims on an empty lot with no funds Rags to Riches style. :)

I never start a save with a premade, but I do marry them into families and befriend them and move them in, so I still end up playing premades half the time.

I keep the premade sims and venues (unless i find better venues in the gallery), but I mainly play with my own sims. Sometimes premades get married into families, though.

I'm not sure if I picked the right option, haha.

I really like going into the game knowing nothing about the townies. I enjoy "meeting" new people, and randoms usually have ill-fitting personalities or outfits. I play with my own family amongst the premades and then scrap or move them out when I get used to them. Move in some premades from the gallery or something. I don't like being the creator of every sim on the map because then I know everything about them already, y'know?

If keeping premades until they die out count, then I guess a combo. I never play premades unless they end up in a family I actually play.
I usually don't like keeping premade houses since my sims are prone to having so many babies LOL (so 5 rooms or bust ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Venues I keep until I'm tired of looking at them.
