What makes gameplay enjoyable to you?
Sorry if you see so many posts from me...just still in the hospital bored I found that if I document my sims lives and take pictures to keep share their story I find it more interesting to play

Generational play. It's been my only play style ever.
In the original The Sims my sims always ended up married and with children. When I had played the family with kids for a while, I would delete them and make a new version with the kids now as adults and the parents looking older - and repeat. The Sims 2 was my perfect dream, of course that was the game I had actually wanted to play the whole time! Sims growing, aging, dying - new generations!
With TS4 I started with a YA couple, and now I'm playing generation 14 of their legacy. I don't have a good answer to why I enjoy this type of game play so much, I'm not incredibly family oriented in real life. I guess it gives me variation and continuity at the same time, I get attached enough to my sims to keep up interest in them but never bored because there are always new characters that I get to do something different with. The new generation will make small changes to the family house to fit their needs, or they'll move - and take all the family photos with them. Each generation will have different jobs, slightly different lifestyles, different drama. Not as a challenge, just - anything that I feel like exploring.
