Your Recipe for a Great Game...


- One, Two or More Sims?
- One or More Active Households?
- Which World to Live In?
- Which Worlds Connect and Which Do Not?
- Occult Play or Realistic?
- If Occult Play, Which? (All or Exclude Some?)
- Lifespan; Down to Details (One Sim Year = ? )
- Skill Difficulty Adjustment (to Match Lifespan)
- Length of Seasons, consider Holidays
- No Mods, Select Few or Multiple Mods?
- Money Cheat/s, or No?
- Other important considerations?
  • I hope I might I add BUG FIXES to the other important considerations.
  • :D I was talking about EA fixing the bugs. Sorry for the confusion.
    I personally enjoy playing the game so much more than working on bug fixes.
  • - One, Two or More Sims?
    Spoiler
    One Sim usually. I like to build and experience a single sim's life first before adding other sims into the household. Plus makes it easier to determine if I want them to be single or in a relationship. Also, I like to match-make sims to have a more emotional attachment to them as a couple.

    - One or More Active Households?
    Spoiler
    Similar to above. Single households for more chaotic play. Anything more is more for world building.

    - Which World to Live In?
    Spoiler
    Just depends on the idea of the play and the scenery of the world. Plus, I stopped getting packs, so I don't have a lot of the worlds.

    - Which Worlds Connect and Which Do Not?
    Spoiler
    I don't connect pre-existing worlds; I would have to fully re-create them to my liking.

    - Occult Play or Realistic? - If Occult Play, Which? (All or Exclude Some?)
    Spoiler
    More realistic with a splash of occult. Occult more for story base ideas.

    - Lifespan; Down to Details (One Sim Year = ? )
    Spoiler
    I only tried this one or twice, but I try to match it with the seasons to be realistic and not to drag too long. Otherwise, aging is off, and I age them up according.

    - Skill Difficulty Adjustment (to Match Lifespan)
    Spoiler
    Never thought to do this.

    - Length of Seasons, consider Holidays
    Spoiler
    I don't remember how I did it before but to keep it simple.1 week for a season or adjust it around the rent. Or if long I month or 28 days a season.

    - No Mods, Select Few or Multiple Mods?
    Spoiler
    Few scripted mods, few CAS cc unless the packs are missing specific content.

    - Money Cheat/s, or No?
    Spoiler
    Only use cheat to correct mistakes or errors. And for changing lots and etc.

    - Other important considerations?
    Maybe memories. Using photo in home or having handmade crafts/furniture. Something that will provide nostalgia for your plays when looking over them or coming back to play.

    @83bienchen Do you mean that you personally fix the bugs or do you mean that your game play would be ideal if EA fixed the bugs? This is you we're talking about, so it's hard to tell. :p
