I woke up this morning to play the Sims and rather than reload my previous household I did some maintenance instead. I went into manage households and deleted the other households I didn't instantly like (townies) and then proceeded to go into the worlds remove lots I didn't like. Basically reforming the world as I see fit. It made me wonder.... How do others play the game?

For me it depends, I have saves where I specifically play with the premades, I even have a premade template save where I added promotional lots and sims to fill up the world a bit more. I also have a template save with all the premades who have advanced 10 years in time, so that's got a lot of my own influence in it. But, I also have saves that I built up with my own sims and builds (and a few creations from others, I'm a slow builder).

I typically keep some premades who really appeal to me then fill in everything else - pretty near literally. I don't like playing with half-empty worlds.

My mood shifts depending on the type of game I'm playing. I have a couple berry saves so those are obviously redone (I even kept some of the original households and made them berry sims). Sometimes I decide to start with a completely blank world save and put down the lots and sims I want. Othertimes, I use the default worlds. It honestly depends.

I used to make families and just move them in where I wanted or build a house if I liked the family enough. I'd let townies and premades live in the premade homes. But recently I've started a few saves where I do basically the opposite and delete everything and everyone to start fresh and it's actually really fun! I thought it'd be a load of work, and it is, but in a good way. It's empty at first, but I create families like every other day, so it's not an issue. And eventually a bunch of townies will spawn.I have all my Sims in homes I built and the townies just exist like Sims 2 townies and just live off the grid invisibly. Which is perfect, because there are so many of them but I want to have space in my world for more Sims I make. Next save I do I want to be more themed than what I'm doing now, which is building whatever wherever.

I make my sim and put them in the world.

It makes me happy knowing we all play the game slightly differently and are able to do so fairly effortlessly. Thank you all for the feedback ^^

I have one save where I've deleted everyone and everything and completely rebuilt the world from the ground up. All the builds on it are mine (which took forever but it was fun) but I populated the world (and not in world) with Celebrities and awesome sims I found in the gallery from other players. Its so much fun watching my sim(s) walk around the world and see random celebs like Barack and Michelle Obama or Russell Brand, or Madonna or....strolling through the park.

But I also have a save where I've gone in and played all the premade townies on rotation (turned off aging across the board so I didn't miss too much)

I enjoy some of the premades. I delete the ones I don't want. Such as the weirdo that lived with his mother in san myshuno but at first i thought it was his wife. ew lol
