What type of player are you?

I'm a combo of several as I think most Simmers are.

-Character creator
-Modder (500 different folders with mods)
-Custom content shopper (spends 3 hours downloading cc from tumblr only to spend another 5 hours on CAS using ALL of THAT)
-The pack stacker (has every pack, feels overwhelmed by it, never actually experiences the WHOLE game cause you know, that's too much) except I don't have Vamps and Spooky since I don't do supernaturals. But other packs have it can be overwhelming because it will take me a long time to try out everything, this dates back to my TS2 and TS3 days.
Plus I love families and I spend a lot of time with them, but I also have a singles save where none of my Sims are married nor do they have children. I spend a lot of time playing in this save as well.

I love a challenge, I've played so many, some repeatedly. I could've chosen Architect though, I love to build and often lose all sense of time when building my challenge Sims homes. I also love build challenges and have entered quite a few. But I also love creating Sims and can spend an inordinate amount of time in CAS on just one Sim.

I haven't played very many families or legacies for any length of time due to the toaster laptop I had before getting my new gaming desktop. I played on that old thing for so long, I've developed habits I'm finding hard to break, such as mostly only playing with one Sim at a time.

I'm trying to break that habit and get back to playing with large families. I've missed the fun (and chaos), satisfaction and heartwarming moments with this style of gameplay. I have a number of family oriented challenge saves put on hiatus I could continue, it's just a matter of choosing one. Or I could start a brand new save. I can't decide. lol #thestruggleisreal

Happy Simming! <3

I’m a mix of at least 3 of them, but I chose Family Firster(?) because that’s what I usually do lol.

These days, I just create the sims. I rarely spend any time in-game anymore lol

My game play is based on the family, but I don't always play a Legacy. I generally do Pinstar's Legacy Challenge, but only once per iteration of the game. I don't do a great deal of cc, in fact I only have Khitsule's Pointy ears at the moment, plus two mods: MCCC and RTF. I do focus on my family as a unit. I tend to play full households, so yes, I do use cheats. (Just for the record, I didn't use to be so fond of cheats, although money and free real estate I have always used.) Lately, I use the Make Happy cheat just to keep my Sims from wetting their pants during a concert.

I do enjoy building. I've always been fond of floor plans and have recreated homes I've lived in or ones I was in often enough to recall the layout. I'll take a break from actual gameplay, upon occasion, to build the home intended for a Sim. I might even go all out and decorate it. Drapery et al. In many ways I'm a little of column A and a little of column B type player. I just haven't ventured into trying to create a mod. Not that computer savvy.

I'm all around. If there were a storyteller option I'd choose that since I used to be one. I would do it again if Maxis released an update or game pack with storytelling options in the gallery with pictures or (maybe) videos like in the last iteration. A third party blog would be too much of a hassle for me. I preferred Maxis tools for storytelling. There's a lot of funny stuff in The Sims that happens in my game. That would be fun. Lately I just play as I like to play. I rarely ever get past the third generation with 1 household. I try though lol.

However I don't think Sims 4 really caters to family players, so in the Sims 4 I usually just play with a young adult and go to community lots and hang out. I switch to earlier games to play with sim families.

@finvola same exept the killing sims part xD

Well, Sims 4 has the most realistic toddlers and teens out of all of them. I am not a family player, but I adore the Sims 4 teens. Amazing, compared to all the other games.

I called myself a pack stacker because I do have all the packs, don’t use mods or custom content. But I really consider myself a rotational player. I make sims occasionally, and change townies clothes and hair. I also build occasionally, and I download others builds and change them around, I also have lots of families/ roommates, but didn’t pick family firster because I don’t do legacies or challenges, they bore me. Currently I play with aging off. And because of my large rotation and packs sometimes the game does get overwhelming. I don’t kill my sims, I use cheats if I want to create a rich family or something (like the landgrabbs). I am not much of a supernatural player though I would love witches and magic. I am basically a sandbox player that likes a large rotation, every family being different. I love the get to work careers ( though some sand box players don’t like them). I would absolutely love to see more careers and work places like those in get to work, I thought they were so well thought out.
