What's Something You Always Do In Your Sims Games?

I go through every so often and check my non played households, as whenever a game adds them the men all have beards and all the sims are the same colour, not sure why that is happening but it makes for a very sad looking world

1: Everyone wears socks unless they are wearing open-toed things. (I do have a couple of elders that do, though)
2: Everyday outfit and sleepwear has 3 outfits
3: Kids in CAS... I let everything be random. I have some pretty interesting-looking kids out there.
4: Almost every home has a recycling trash can.
5: If I'm starting a low-funded household I will change the colors of the current furniture to give the Sims an upgraded look without spending anything.
6: I always play the long seasons
7: I play with NAPS on, but I set them most times.

I'm sure there are more... lol

Mostly cheat needs before sending to work and always choose "work hard" if necessary. Only cheat the slow building skills like charisma or photography.

'freerealestate on' to get them in the house.

I also will cheat Cooking skill up to 2 to avoid fires because they're really not spontaneous, they're expected during the first cook.

@Kerrigan i have them make a family size garden salad and a family size fruit salad before using the stove. that skills them up and avoids fires plus they're healthy options they can grab whenever. speaking of which, i almost always use the simple living and geothermal lot traits.

1. Unless disallowed in a challenge, I'll always begin with a single YA Rags to Riches style.
2. All Sims have a favorite color incorporated into their wardrobe and home.
3. All Sims must have CC eyelashes and CC body hair for males.
4. No cheating for simoleans, except for build challenges.
5. Most households have a garden and/or greenhouse.
6. Aging off with aging up by my discretion, unless aging required for a challenge.
7. Always micromanage with no autonomy for up to 2-3 Sim households. Full autonomy for more, disabled for currently controlled Sim.
8. One outfit per category in CAS.
9. Sims I control never cheat on partners when in a committed relationship.
10. No stove/grills in households until Sims reach at least level 3-4 in the cooking skill.

Hmm, elf ears, cc eyelashes, freerealestate on to get them in their homes, they always garden, I generally play genetacies - and usually Ultimate Sims. There's probably a bunch of other things I can't think of right now lol.
