What's The Point..... ?

..... of filling up other homes?

Up until now, I have always set up my new games with a pile of sims living in about 75% of the houses and apartments around all of the worlds to make it seem like my played sims are living in a thriving community. But I suddenly thought, is there any point to that?

It seems like the unplayed others sitting in the household bin do not get deleted, only added to by the game generator, so is there a point to moving some of them into homes? Apart from maybe one or two that you might want to visit during play?

I'm now starting to think that maybe majority of the Lot spaces in the worlds could be taken up with interesting community places to visit and just have a few empty homes for your sims family to move into as they grow. Does anyone play like that and does it make a difference?

  • I let the houses fill in most of my saves - kind of feel bad about families being left out in the cold! Plus I can always boot them if I need the space lol. I usually start in Newcrest though, so there's usually time before I have to start booting families.
  • I actually started playing without filling the homes but I recently started to. When I throw house parties I sometimes do it at another sim’s house. I don’t normally visit so it’s a change of scenery. I don’t want a bunch of repeat of community lots so a different house to seem is nice too. It also makes it like other sims are taking initiative also as oppose to me having to always invite them.
