Where Do You Spend Your Gameplay Time?

Where do you spend the most time when you're playing Sims?
  • Build mode but I'm trying to spend more time lately in Live mode. I'd say CAS comes second to build usually so I have a lot of catching up to do Live mode gameplay wise.

    It’s also reticulating SPLEENS (not splynes) if you were to ask me that one years ago! I don’t know about you! ?

    I've spent most of my time in build mode. I love to build. I find building therapeutic. I've been working on actually playing, though. I started a challenge just so I'd play more.

    But building... <3

    Got a source for that claim? *skeptical*



    SimGuruGraham corrected this forum a few years back that it's pronounced live. As in, I live at 1313 Mocking Bird Lane :p
    But I totally disgree with it, to me it's more like the light goes on in a studio and you are now Live. (In front of the camera).
    I won't conform, lol


    Quite. I regard that as a US pronunciation and I prefer my UK one, thank you Graham. :)


    Hm, I pronounce it the way Cinebar does. Live, from New York! I'm from the U.S.A., though so we are used to pronouncing things differently. ;)


    That's my way too. Live mod like 'liv' never entered my head ever. UK.
  • Most time in Live Mode (and I don't know why or how I came to do it, but I've said live as in "I live at" ever since original base game The Sims) Cas (said as a word) is probably where I spend second most time. I do like to build I just don't think I'me very good at it so I tend to avoid it as much as possible, though I suppose I should try and force myself to do it a bit more so that I can perhaps get better at it and be more satisfied with my builds.
  • While I have been playing a lot lately, I do rarely play. I build. That's where my passion for the game is.

    Wait...what?? it’s not live as in “we’re live in 3..”


    No, it's Live as in I live here.


    I say live in that manner, as well. Always have. It never even dawned on me that it would be pronounced any other way until people got in a heated discussion about it back in Sims 3 days.

    But, on topic. I spend a fair amount of time in all three. But, the question was where I spent most of my time, so I chose live mode.

    Though I can spend a day or two (I'm talking 8-12 hours a day) just building sims and I get lost in build/buy decorating and/or building. And will forget to come up for air. But, I do spend more time in live mode.

    Really? I don't think my spleen reticulates. My spine might, though. :open_mouth:
  • I play in both live mode and Create-a-Sim, but I would say I probably spend a bit more time in live mode overall.
  • Oh, I accidentally pressed CAS, whoops! I meant, Other: I play a lot in both CAS and Live Mode. :smile:
